It is unprecedented, disgusting and shameful how bankrupt so-called journalism has SUNK. More concern for their paychecks, phony careerism than professional ethics, democracy and duty to perform as a watchdog for and IN the Public Interest. This citizen will constantly ALERT the 'People of the Web' to crackpot, simplistic, invalid analysis of those who would aid in concealing and propping up a practice form and style of government that is openly flaunting the rule of law, denying Voting Rights and breaking laws ensuring free, fair elections-- the main way to petition a government for a redress of grievances. Do not these establishment defending appartchiks, dissent barrier specialists realize their product is credibility?
