Another reason why Western news media sucks.

An activist press? Sadly , it serves no one well. It inflates egos and obliterates reason and defies logic.

If that fish wrap weren’t given free to motel guests, they’d have no readers. Shame on these hate mongers for picking through old garbage online to try to destroy good young people like Kyler Murray.

Because radical gays are leading the left, especially in the media.

This is how the commie left works...they DESTROY anyone that says anything against their perverted agenda. Funny how this is the same left that trashes Russia 24/7, when they do the EXACT same tactics

Fortunately, Twitter was not a “thing” when I was 14.

Seriously, whether its Bieber or a Heisman winner, people shouldn’t be held to such standards for things said as kids. Kids have always and always will say stupid things that are not well thought out.

Nothing a Socialist ever said or did in the past may be used against them. It’s unfair to hold them accountable.

USA Today is trash. They used to magnify their circulation figures by giving morning papers to the hotels to put in front of your room door. I guess enough folks like me complained that they didn’t want to stoop down to pick this unreadable rag up so they stopped it.

I was 15 in 1965 and the word “queer” was commonly used as a derogatory term at the high school I attended. Even the gym teachers used it.

“Fruit” was still somewhat in vogue. I was really disappointed when I learned the word “gay” had been hijacked and perverted.

Just got back from a 3 day hotel stay. Threw 3 days of their newspaper into the trash. No idea how they convince a hotel chain to pay.

I remember reading that Pete Townsend, one one of the zillions of times he was asked if he regretted writing “hope I die before I get old,” that he wished everyone else in the world was asked about the stupid @&*% they said when they were young. True that.
