Tom the Dancing Bug by Ruben Bolling for March 15, 2018

Nah, more like Monica “do-ed” him…

I actually miss having a dearth of news. Remember when a single news story could hold the nations’s attention for more than 24 hours?

And then came September 2001.

Vintage August 2001. All about to change. :-(

“Vintage 2001”? So this is ‘prehistoric’ fake news…

Ruben is prescient. Back during the 2016 election campaign, I was telling people “If you liked the antics of poosy-grabber Clinton, you will absolutely LOVE Trump’s shenanigans!”

Only a month away from having more news that we’d ever want

well that depends, what do you mean by “do”?

So different from today when Trump generates so much they over come each other and leaving important news unexamined.

Be careful what you wish for, ca. 2001.

Wouldn’t it be great if the news would actually spend time reporting on issues that matter! Instead it’s 99% celebrity gossip, gang violence, and drug busts. Where’s the news about corporations polluting the environment, politicians passing bills to spy on citizens, or protests against police misconduct, for example? And the rare times such issues are reported on, they’re sensationalized to the extent that the report bears little resemblance to the truth. So many news sources are too biased. They need to get rid of the fake news, and bring back objective journalism.

Ah…for the days when NEWS was a “public service”, and usually a “Loss-Leader” for TV – before the “Fairness Doctrine” evaporated, ending the reining-in of political bias and the beginning of the Cable-driven 24 Hour News cycle. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/11/12/AR2010111202857.html
