The press educates the people.

He's half right, the Leftist propaganda educates the people, all but 70 million or so.

Black is White. Up is Down. Lies are Truth. Poverty is Wealth.

Letterman is reading from an old 0bama script...

The last interesting thing Letterman ever said or did was his feud with Cher in the 1980s.

Funnyman...David Letterman? He was never funny to me. I tried watching him several times but I turned him off after about 20 minutes or half an hour. He just left me cold.

He sure wasn’t to me either. I remember watching 5 minutes of his first show. That was all I could take.

“The press is not the enemy of the people. The press educates the people. The press informs the people….”

I am not familiar with the press he is referring to.

Letterman was funny in the ‘80s. He introduced me to Chris Elliott, and Larry “Bud” Melman. Letterman in the ‘90s was boring, and now he’s simply another uninteresting left-wing crank.

Is this going to stay all messed up - nearly impossible to read. Is this what was happening over the weekend with FR problems? If so, it’s still there...

This is what I’m talking about - does no one else see this?

The “a” seems to be a big problem...what’s up?

Seems to work ok for me...

Copy from source:

Erstwhile funnyman David Letterman, who continued to grow more bitter — on-air — toward all things conservatives as his “Late Night” on CBS went along, earlier this month was funnier than as I’ve seen my fellow-Hoosier in years.

So funny in fact that one of his jokes, in particular, brought tears of laughter to my eyes: “The press,” he said — and here comes the punchline — “educates and informs people.” [Insert ROFL emoji.] Therefore, he observed, “people don’t need to be aware of every single thing that’s going on.” [Insert second ROFL emoji.]

This is because Letterman used to BE the lamestream press, along with my dear late friend John Lindsay back in Indiana, in the 70s. Dave was as emotionally immature then as he is now.

So, the media who knows more and more about less and less will lecture us on everything about nothing; news stories are like a recipe, facts are like spices - add too much spice and you spoil the recipe.
