A Drop In The Bucket


 BZ (http://bloviatingzeppelin.net/) coined the term, American Media Maggots. That came to mind this morning reading the lead sentence in a “news” article from the Denver Post.

People won’t be able to flaunt their firearms within 100 feet of a polling place under a law signed by Gov. Jared Polis on Wednesday.

My county went 70% for Trump in the last election. Greeley, the county seat, is blue in part because of the local teacher’s college, aka University of Northern Colorado. The local rag would like to be blue but needs to cater to local prejudices. Their way around this is to reprint shit from other newspapers who are not so constrained.

“Flaunt”?

Television news? Haven’t owned a television for several years. When reading something on the internet and encounter a pay wall I pass that source and move on. I do spend $4.93 to subscribe to the local rag. In spite of themselves, they occasionally publish local information I can use.

Is there a point to all this, WSF? Just this, I will not support financially propaganda media. Yes, it is only a tiny drop in the bucket, but it is my drop.

As always, YMMV

The picture was swiped from a leftist propaganda rag. Gives me a warm fuzzy feeling
