The WSJ agreed to allow Trump to demonstrate his ignorance about why other media are permitted to not allow Trump to demonstrate his ignorance through them.

(paywall free)

Quite a few distortions contained in the column.   Also, appears to be ghostwritten.

There's no way Double-bacon-cheese Donnie wrote that.

Without arguing pros or cons or the merits or demerits of his or Casper's position, (I'll leave that to the 1st Amendment barristers and Ambulance chasers) I wish I could get the op-ed opportunity in the WSJ that he or Casper received. Do I have a case that my right of free-speech is impaired and the availability of the WSJ platform being denied me by WSJ op-editors vetting and screening my thoughts, are being unfairly censored by the WSJ? Am I being treated equitably to Casper?  And yes, I'm being facetious. And FTR, I've been quoted in the WSJ before.

The WSJ or NY Times can run with all the news that's fit to print.

Don, or his hired hand, is free to pen what he likes, prints what he likes, post on his own website what he likes, or go on TV or radio and give a speech. But I'm not sure he has the right to contaminate and try to dominate every platform with his propaganda and lies and potentially drown out other quieter voices. And companies have a right to maintain standards that all users adhere to, or they will be denied service.

I'm not sure why Big Tech social media platforms are different, except there are no fact-checkers, or zealous editors spell-checking Casper. Hit enter and you can reach billions of readers within seconds warning them of the folly of masks, the efficacy of Clorox or that the election was stolen, and that Caper will be back haunting the Oval Office by August.

First San Jose. Soon, God willing, the entire nation.

A good idea who’s time has come.

If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.

Democrats outright expect journalists to "be on their side" and feel "horrified" when they're pressed by journalists.

A "prominent White House reporter" made that remark while speaking anonymously to journalist Julia Ioffe for an article on the dramatic shift in coverage of the Trump and Biden administrations, notably the expectation from the latter of positive framing.

"Democrats in general have a much thinner skin," the reporter said. "This is not unique to Trump but Republicans never expect a fair shake, so if you cover them fairly, you can have a good working relationship with them. Democrats de facto expect you to be on their side and are horrified when you hold them to account as you would any other administration. It goes back to the Obama years. [Obama staffers would be] like, ‘Don’t you realize that being a woman is no longer a pre-existing condition?!’ And I would be like, ‘Yes, but I’m writing about why your website keeps crashing.’"



ROFL!

KTLA 5 News 

2 minutes  · 

As Mayor Eric Garretti is set to leave L.A. as Biden’s appointment ambassador to India, he leaves the city with so much unfinished business. His successor will have to confront issues of homelessness, declining transit ridership and so much more.

---------------

Garcetti can help to get the people of India to buy products from California. Garcetti can be a great ambassador for California, as well as for the USA.

Antonio Villaraigosa can finish out Garcetti's term.

Salute,

Tony V.

But many feel a yawning sense of emptiness and disappointment at what the ebbing Trump tide left behind. “ I think everyone probably misses the ease of it, having so many willing leakers, observed one White House reporter  “ It made you think that you were better than you were.  It made you think you were a really good reporter, but really are you? I think we had an inflated sense of our own abilities and it was all a fraud.
Now everyone is exposed and everyone is dogshit.
Where are the great stories?
They don’t exist.
I can’t remember the last time I read a great story that really revealed something about the Biden White House.

No, Tony, not how it works.

He's the country's ambassador, not California's or LA's.

So weird for them, having a White House that is not in constant turmoil, with Cabinet member after Cabinet member caught in inappropriate conduct, with staff members who are loyal to their bosses not out of fear, but out of belief in what the leadership stands for.

No leaks, not because of threats but because there is no need to leak.
