These people disgrace my former profession — 25 years in newspapers, mainly as a business editor.
Back in my day, you could still find a few conservatives — and a lot more fair-minded, old-fashioned liberals — in the second- and third-tier markets where I worked.
Top-tier media was already pretty bad — and the more astute among us recognized that this bad reputation was making life harder for the worker bees on the Podunk Gazette.
Fortunately, down in Podunk you actually had to deal with people — there was no such thing as drive-by media.
If you were fair and accurate, folks welcomed you and you were part of the community. If you were obviously biased or couldn’t get your facts straight, you’d definitely hear about it.
Now, the entire profession seems have gone full Marxist. It astounds me how supposedly literate people can have so little sense of history.
I watched it and I only have one thing to say.
Thou shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor. - God.

Pelley has never been able to open his mouth without a lie falling out.
A gay relative’s obit was all about how close he and Pelley were. Don’t know if that was a lie for AtTeNtIoN! or they were, uh, close. Don’t know either way but it was creepy.
That’s only because of Magnum pi and murder she wrote
Pelley looks like Schiff.
I’m 75, white haired and slow of wit and muscle but I developed an instant dislike for Scott Pelley in a flash the first time I saw him on TV. “Smarmy” is far too nice a word for him, it is like saying that Adolf Hitler was unkind. A better word for Pelley is slimy but that is only the beginning. I would not want to live in the same STATE with Pelley. I wouldn’t willingly allow him to speak my name. He should be in a cell with the witch of Whitewater.
Media - no accountability. Democrats - no accountability. Deepstate - no accountability. Why would they stop lying and plotting?
The Dan Rather Show is a liar’s convention every week.
Is Mary Mapes typing these letters. Did she get a better typewriter?
