One of the issues closest to my heart is a free press. Of course, I'm biased because it's a subject I'm close to as I've been in the newspaper industry since 1989, but even without that experience, I know that a nation can't be democratic without a free press. Goons don't appreciate a free press... Continue Reading →
MAGA Enquirer
There have been a lot of pecker jokes going around with David Pecker, former publisher of the National Enquirer, testifying in the Trump hush-money trial. But I got over all the penis jokes in 2018 when it was first revealed that the National Enquirer was engaging in what they called catch-and-kill journalism. I use the... Continue Reading →
Tucker Loves Putin
A long long time ago when the year was 2017, I entered a foreign Trump caricature contest hosted by the House of Cartoon. Another cartoonist asked me to enter and there wasn't an entry fee, so I submitted which didn't take any time at all. I entered a cartoon comparing Donald Trump to Hitler. After... Continue Reading →
Free Press Free Kansas
One of the greatest dangers to this nation is our loss of freedom and what contributes to that is that so many people can't recognize when our freedom is under attack, such as your right to vote or a women's right to make decisions over her own body. But another that's in danger is the... Continue Reading →
No-News News
We have talked about this a lot here but it's worth repeating. Fox News is NOT news. Every news outlet gets it wrong from time to time, but they're not lying. When someone claims an outlet such as CNN or The New York Times lies, they're never specific. It's an "I know you are but... Continue Reading →
State News Fake News
I quoted an everyday ordinary man-on-the-Moscow-streets in yesterday's blog who refuses to believe Russia has committed war crimes in Bucha, and probably anywhere else. He said, "If this is not fake, my brain refuses to accept it." Since he lives in Russia, the news he has access to probably won't ever tell him it's not... Continue Reading →
Fake News Genius
A lot of Russian propaganda outlets are being shut down in the west by western governments and private corporations. Russia state-owned outlets that have been operating freely in Europe and the United States, RT and Sputnik, have taken a huge hit and are being blocked. While the west is blocking Russia's fake news outlets, much... Continue Reading →
Stupid Son Of A…
There may be a lot of douches over at Fox News, but there are only two Doocys (not to be confused with "deuce," but it's OK if you do confuse them). They have two Doocys but they can't keep one Shephard Smith. Yesterday, the president of the United States of America (in case you're a... Continue Reading →
Murderer MBS
One of my biggest problems with Donald Trump is that the leader of the free world is supposed to set an example for the rest of the world to follow and be a champion of freedom. That includes freedom of the press because even as a president may fight with journalist, he is still supposed... Continue Reading →
Bigger Than Ukraine
I don't believe the press is infallible. They make mistakes. Usually, when I have an issue with a LEGITIMATE news outlet (something Trump cultists can't differentiate from propaganda sites), it's over how, what, and how much they cover a topic. I don't really see actual news organizations lying. That said, I believe in a free... Continue Reading →
