    Major news media uses anonymous sources too much. There isn’t any doubt about that.

    It shouldn’t be surprising that, sooner or later, it turns back on us.

    As for Trump pardons:
    An actual government, "We don't recognize those. Oh, the packed SCOTUS made a ruling? Let's see them enforce it."

    Not really; the NYSE goes on with or without Sprecher. Plus Fatfuck has looted enough money out of the Treasury every day he doesn't give a fuck about the Dow himself.

    My favorite thing in journalism was management's annual, chest-thumping admonition that decreed, "We don't use anonymous sources." The alleged ban lasted about a week. Or until somebody got a really good story that used anonymous sources.

    Oh, please. Please stop this fucking bullshit. News media uses anonymous sources no more nor less than they ever have in the fucking 60 years I've been old enough to consume it with some idea of what it's telling me. The reality of the media is a business/societal influence that's been losing both money and influence at an exponential rate, yet you continue to ascribe so much power to it.

    Amazing how MS-13 and the caravans have gone into hibernation.

    If the pandemic had played out exactly the same in 2012, would private citizen Donald Trump tweet "let the governors handle it" or "no one could have seen this coming" or "it's he flu" and "the federal government is a shipping clerk"?

    republicans are responsible for the deaths of more civilian Americans than Islamic Terrorists, the Viet Cong, North Korea, and Nazi Germany.

    Awfully nice of Trump to allow a pandemic to kill thousands just so Mexico won’t have to pay for the wall.
