No news is good news.
I always check Fox and Drudge first thing to see if anything is happening.
So far, nothing is.
Just wildfires, that’s bad enough.
And a man’s daughter is missing. I pray they will find her, but I fear it also. Things like that seldom turn out good.
I told you a couple of times that a couple in H’ville went hiking in the Smokies.
They were missing for a weekend and people searched for them.
They were discovered in Asheville. Living it up.
Everyone’s emotions turned from fear to anger in an instant.
I read a pre-publication copy of this book. It's well-researched, well-written, most timely and great fun to read. And the author wrote it himself. https://t.co/Adlc3ZsR7D
PS. I miss real journalism too. It was more comfortable when I at least believed people were attempting to think and write intelligently and in an unbiased fashion.

Yes, too many journalists don’t even try anymore — and the landscape has become dominated by the far left and far right partisan sites. Hopeless to sift much trust-worthy truth out of those territories, typically.
Objectivity, as much as it could be achieved, was a huge emphasis in training journalists in my college years.

Woodward’s book may be worth checking out.
He’s old-school — thorough, fair and dispassionate in his reporting, not blinded and trying to just “push” an agenda on one side or the other.
How refreshing that would seem nowadays.

@11:40 Nope. But he might get a few more votes than Ricky’s dog. Right now I can’t even imagine the circus that 2020 will be.

2020 might be unbearable to watch.
