WELL, YES….I DID SUGGEST THAT THE MEDIA IS BIASED TO THE LEFT IN THE LAST ENTRY…...
And, I’m sure that SOMEONE out there is screaming at the screen, wanting to know where the evidence is!! After all, if you listen to enough NPR, you’re going to hear someone being interviewed who expresses the opinion that the media are all in the hands of big corporate conservatives, and the liberal side of the political spectrum just can’t get its message out. They refer, of course, to The Big Guy and his cohorts on the most popular talk shows in America, failing to note that every one of these is a commercial enterprise, dependent on pleasing the customers, and not sucking up government money or annoying its listeners with Pledge Weeks, like SOME networks we might mention….... My point was about the NEWS outlets of the Main Stream Media - radio, TV, newspaper, newsmagazine, etc.
And…....there is evidence for my thesis, actually.
MURDER IS A “MORALLY JUSTIFIABLE SOLUTION”, SAYS….............WHO?
Oh, Go Ahead and take a guess…....
Let’s see….....a Neo-Conservative talking about a head of state he doesn’t like? Nope.
A Pro-Lifer, talking about an abortionist that won’t stop doing them? Nope.
A Logging Company executive, talking about a bunch of hippies that are chaining themselves to trees he wants to cut? Nope.
A gun-crazed NRA member talking about a gun-grabbing, Second Amendment-hating member of Congress? Nope.
Oh, you’re never going to guess…..I’ll just have to tell you!

WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL OUR CITIZENS THAT JUST HAPPEN TO HAVE DOWN’S SYNDROME?
Well, THAT’s a no-brainer…..they’re mostly being killed before they can be born, of course. How is it, asks Patricia Bauer in the Washington Post that we refuse to notice when an entire class of human beings is subject to this vicious and lethal form of discrimination?

M.D. Russell’s AMAZING FIRST NOVEL
is called THE SPARROW, and it is magnificent! There are over 400 Amazon reviews, which says to me that it hits a lot of people in the heart! (Of course, I don’t spend much time on Amazon, so maybe lots of books have 400 reviews.)
