Imagine what life would be like if the only “trusted” news source is the government, mandating what’s reported and controlling what appears in internet search engine results. I’ve visited places like that. They are not the United States of America.

Maybe Whell and his fellow Trumpkins would be happier living in Russia. I’d contribute to their travel expenses...

Alex Jones' bid to throw out Sandy Hook defamation lawsuit denied

Hopefully this piece of excrement will be sued for every ill-gotten penny he's ever made.

I’d said I wasn’t going to say anything about my source for the quotes Trump made off the record to Bloomberg.

However, I don’t want to be party to the president’s smearing of excellent, ethical journalists. So I can say this: none of the Bloomberg interviewers was my source.

Trump is calling Jennifer Jacobs, Margaret Talev and their editor liars. They aren’t, and they didn’t violate their “off the record” promise to him. I don’t want to be a party to his attempt to make fellow reporters look deceitful.

So: I’m not going to engage in an “OK if it isn’t them than who was it” game, but the president is incorrect when he claims he was wronged by his interviewers.

Maybe I should have expected the president would confirm a Toronto Star story (!) and use this to go after Bloomberg reporters, but I did not - thought it was likely he’d either a) ignore it or b) or call it fake news and go after my own ethics, which would’ve been fine.

Anyway, this is an unusual thing to do, but this is an unusual situation. That’s all.

Toronto Star reporter's response to Donny's idiotic smears of Bloomberg, which you'd need to be as stupid as Whell to believe. Lots of Whells still out there, sadly.

Meanwhile, the resident Trumpkins have been silent. Have they finally realized they’ve been conned by Don the Con? (Doubt they’re that smart).

It’s Time for the Press to Stop Complaining—And to Start Fighting Back

Excellent piece on the difference between real journalism and Fox “News” propaganda. Morons like Whell really don’t understand journalism at all, so are easily manipulated by Ailes and his boys.

Reddit bans QAnon subreddit that featured pro-Trump conspiracy theories

Yay! Slowly, the worst of the hate mongerers are being silenced. Limblow and Fox “News” will be more difficult to shut down, sadly.
