JMHO, "journalism" has been committing suicide by a thousand paper cuts ever since the early 60's.
I'm not real sure that my Dad would have put that date in the late 30's, but most of his advice to me was not to trust the [BLEEP]s under any circumstances.
All I've done for years is take whatever the media says as the direct opposite of my moves.
Tell me to take a shot? Don't take the damn thing. Wear a mask? Fuggetaboutit. Trust somebody? Dude just got on the Permanent S*** List.
Could be luck or good genes kept me alive so long. Maybe my bad attitude about TPTB has something to do with that as well.
Couldn’t agree more.
That saying, “Trust but verify” doesn’t EVEN apply to the LSM anymore.
