    All over the place, from many, many different sources from around the world. And I don't subscribe to CNN or any other American news network anymore, but used to, and catch some if I go to the States, so do know what's going on there.

    For example? I don't understand why. I'm talking about hundreds of different sources. But okay... Obviously Canadian news, both local and national, BBC, Al Jazeera, probably a couple dozen English language newspapers from around the Globe (i.e. out of Britain, Africa, Europe, Asia, along with the NYT, WaPo, WSJ, etc), international local English language news reports and editorials shared by friends from different cities around the world .... and so on.

    Can't keep playing the hits at his rallys if he publicly has to contradict them. Mikey took one for the team today.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    The Atlantic. WaPo. A variety of sources via Apple News (on the iPad while I'm on the treadmill). The Guardian.
    And I follow a few conservatives (real ones, not MAGAites) on Twitter -- David Frum, Rick Wilson, Tom Nichols -- to keep me honest.
    We're painting with broad brushstrokes when it comes to talk of mainstream media, etc., but I actually think a valid point is being made.

    Look. The election of Agent Orange revived journalism, a field that largely seemed to be on life support before the 2016 election. But don't forget that media outlets gave that orange moron all kinds of free air time. Every time he opened his damn mouth, they were all over it, replaying videos (or putting up and reading tweets) over and over and over again. They actually helped reinforce his message. It was all about audience share and page views. As an aside, I think Rachel Maddow is the only TV anchor/ personality who refuses to air video of Agent Orange rambling, or to post giant screenshots of his tweets. I find MSNBC hard to take at times, but Maddow gets it: you can follow video clips of outrageous statements with a disclaimer, but with many people, the original nonsense is what will stick. Kind of like watching a car crash....

    The other day, our fearless leader announced that he was going to enact a big tax cut for the middle class, before the elections. He can't do this. That's Congress's job, and they're on recess until after the elections. But that didn't stop Agent Orange from going on and on about it. AND -- most news outlets ran the story with a headline like "T---- proposes ten-percent tax cut for middle class."

    The thing is, many, many people read ONLY the headlines on news stories. So even if the story beneath the headline says, well, actually, he can't do that, and, besides, Congress is out until after the elections, the takeaway for lots of people will be "Yay, another tax cut!" Framing matters. Headlines on those articles should have been: "Nearly two years into his job, President T---- still doesn't understand how the government works." But no --

    So, yeah, I quit watching CNN when I saw that they had Corey Lewandowski on payroll. And, yes, as much as many individuals working in the media do excellent work (someone buy Daniel Dale a drink! He fact-checks AO's rally speeches on the fly, poor guy), the media companies are thinking about their bottom lines, so we get endless coverage of Kanye West, Horseface, Mushroom Dick, instead of more in-depth stories about boring stuff that's going to kill us, like climate change. /s

    So I try to stick with outlets that I know will present more substantial coverage -- The Atlantic and the Guardian. And we ALL need to read everything with our critical thinking skills fully engaged. So many people, from all parts of the political spectrum, just don't do that. 

    All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.

    President Trump, speaking at an opioids event at the White House, first addressed the series of suspicious packages that have been discovered today. 

    He called for unity as officials investigate the possible explosive devices.

    "I just want to tell you that in these times we have to unify, we have to come together and send one very clear, strong, unmistakable message that acts or threats of political violence of any kind have no place in the United States of America," he said.

    Trump said "the full weight of our government" is investigating the packages and will "bring those responsible for these despicable acts to justice."

    He added: "The safety of the American people is my highest and absolute priority," he said.

    I agree that this was nicely said. I wish I could believe him. But I have to consider the source, and I've determined that they were just words without meaning. If you'd said them, I'd give them credence. Not so much coming from a guy who less than a week ago, also referencing an act of violence:

    President Donald Trump praised a Republican congressman who body slammed a reporter last year, saying the lawmaker was "my guy." 

    Trump, speaking at a rally in Montana, said Rep. Greg Gianforte, who pleaded guilty to assaulting a reporter who asked him a question, was a good guy. 

    "Greg is smart and, by the way, never wrestle him," the president said, motioning as though he was slamming someone to the ground. "Any guy that can do a body slam — he's my guy."

    He added Gianforte was a "great guy" and a "tough cookie." 

    https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2018/10/18/donald-trump-greg-gianforte-bodyslammed-reporter-my-kind-guy/1690729002/

    So which is it? Praising acts of violence against Americans, or saying the safety of Americans is his highest priority? Unfortunately, I think unity is the last thing Drumpf wants.
