For about the fifth time since the new version of JPR was launched, the board ate my homework. I wrote a nice piece showing how NBC had altered their story of February 28 reporting that Bibi was (past tense) indicted for corruption, but that the current link for that story said that the Israeli Attorney General intended to indict him at some…[Read more]

I disagree.

That might be the fevered hope of Debbie WS and Nancy Pelosi, but that is just not a realistic assessment of how the primary system works, whether the ballots get counted correctly or not.

The top-down social reform movement called #Me-Too crashed and burned when the United States Senate rejected the allegation of sexual aasault made by Christine Blasey Ford against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh — a hyper-partisan political hack with a law degree and a Federal Judgeship who made a total ass of…[Read more]

Excellent analysis in the OP link about how the Big Lie works. And the word, “millions” accurately describes how many people who were “duped.”

But that is very misleading for at least two reasons.

First, a very low percentage of Americans ever bought into Russia Gate. Although Rachel Maddow is the Queen of cable news ratings, her audience is l…[Read more]

The word that poster needed was tautology, the antonym of oxymoron.

I can’t figure any of this out. I was able to post in the check in thread, but it refuses to post in another GD thread.
