Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

In the very near future many if not most questions by journalists will be responded to by either "I reject the premise" or "How dare you ask such a question!" These will basically replace "no comment" as the go to response... Here's an example of how the media will be dealt with going forward. Like hostile witnesses in a courtroom... In California I can see Caitlyn Jenner being the sacrificial lamb that asks all the right questions and elevates certain issues only to take all the slings and arrows. Another candidate, like a Richard Grenell, will be the beneficiary of her sacrifice.... Remember all we ask is two weeks to flatten the curve. Have we ever determined who was responsible for this monstrous lie?... So when do we see the stories that Aaron Rodgers has put his home in Green Bay up for sale? You know that story is coming...

Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thought and observation.

For many people a distrust in the media can be traced back to 2001 and Bernie Goldberg's book Bias: A CBS Insider Exposes How the Media Distort the News. Back then there was a debate whether this was actually true. Now nobody debates that it's anything other than fact. We owe a debt of gratitude to Bernie Goldberg...  I knew it!... The NHL's TV contract with NBC expires at the end of this season. It will be very interesting to see how negotiations for a new TV contract go and how that will effect player contracts going forward... Haven't read the whole article (I'm not a subscriber) but I think the title says it all - Joe Biden's First Day Began the End of Girl's Sports. There's literally nothing to prevent a biological male from self-identify as a female but just during basketball season (for example) if they wish. Politically this is a self-own for the Biden Administration...  You rarely see snakes in the dead of winter. They all wait for a sunny day to make their presence known...
