Veteran News Anchor Jim Gardner Makes His Goodbye Count by Telling Truth About the Press
Huffington Post ^ | 12/22/2022 | Ron Dicker

Posted on 12/23/2022 11:51:17 AM PST by 7thson

“The American free press has been under attack, not by forces from other countries, but from elements embedded in our own society, and even our own government. It worries me deeply,” Gardner said.

After an anecdote about Thomas Jefferson’s deep belief in freedom of the press, Gardner delivered his most important message about the fourth estate.

“We are not the enemy of the people,” he said.

“And if we falter, you damn well better let us know, for your benefit and for ours.”

You faltered. Asshat.

Jim Gardner was the top anchor there for 45 plus years he should retire and move on.

As for his comments they don’t ring with me.

A media favoring censorship is an enemy to freedom.

Ah, but you are, because you have the power to expose, and you chose not to, and have been providing cover for these forces of evil for decades. Furthermore, you still refuse to name names.

Ditto. Where is his timely reporting on Hunter, or his station monitoring the massive criminality on the border?
Enemy!!!

They become the enemy by serving the those they are supposed to be a counterbalance for, not We the People.

After an anecdote about Thomas Jefferson’s deep belief in freedom of the press,

Any of these quotes by Jefferson?

“Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper. Truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle. The real extent of this state of misinformation is known only to those who are in situations to confront facts within their knowledge with the lies of the day. … I will add, that the man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them; inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods & errors.” -Thomas Jefferson, 1807
-----------------------
“I have given up newspapers in exchange for Tacitus & Thucydides, for Newton & Euclid; & I find myself much the happier.” -Thomas Jefferson, 1812
-----------------------
“A truth now and then projecting into the ocean of Newspaper lies, serves like headlands to correct our course. indeed my scepticism as to every thing I see in a newspaper makes me indifferent whether I ever see one.” -Thomas Jefferson, 1815
-----------------------
“From 40. years experience of the wretched guesswork of the newspapers of what is not done in open day light, and of their falsehood even as to that, I rarely think them worth reading, & almost never worth notice.” -Thomas Jefferson, 1816

When you kowtow to the government instead of the TRUTH you ARE a threat to the public and a traitor to your job.

While I cannot argue with your assessment, it was pathetic, it does represent another crack in the foundation of lies we now live under.

Every single day more and more doctors and health experts are admitting that “we were wrong” about all things Covid.

The problem we have (me too) is that we see so many lies we want to talk about them all. You have to get others to admit “one lie” and then they will naturally begin to question other things “authorities” told them.

The media remind me of a juggler in a clown suit with too many balls in the air. At some point it is impossible to keep them going because gravity (truth) is constant. It takes a lot of energy to fight gravity!

We have not yet turned the corner and maybe we never will because it takes energy and humility to admit the truth, but there are more people every day who are getting red-pilled.

You simply cannot make this stuff up. Here is a guy with a STAGE NAME telling us a lie about the modern day presstitutes! You are absolutely an enemy to the Republic because you are all professional Tell-Me-Prompter readers! Your profession is paid to read what is given to you by a bunch of leftist socialists to shape society into what they believe it should be. He can go home and everyone can call him by his “real” name now that his acting career is over! I wish him the best in his new life being a real person. Maybe he can even get a handle here on Free Republic so he can be up on all the real news!
