I am increasingly concerned at example after example of the United States press corp being captured by its bigotries and prejudices. The press referenced the Republican holdouts in the McCarthy speakership fight as terrorists and radicals but refused to label actual terrorists in Atlanta as anything more than protestors. In fact, in the clip below I play a CNN analyst who claims that violence to property is not actually violence at all. In short, progressives believe that words are violence, silence is violence, but violence is not violent at all. Take a moment and watch:
My question is off topic. Can you explain why any president would take home and keep classified documents? I understand that they may need to review the material at their private home, but why then store the documents? One would think they would be in a colorful folder that would easily remind them to return them, or that someone would be on call to pick these things up and return them. thanks. Love your radio show
I've been listening to the show for a couple of years. I listen via the app when I travel around the country. I never signed up until I heard about the gravy recipe at Thanksgiving.
I jumped on. I signed up. I made the gravy. Had an OMG moment. Have since signed up for the August event.
ERICK's notes published on this forum, and the comments from y'all, are thought provoking.
I am now working on that smoked pork belly recipe.
I heard an interesting argument on "The Five" tonight. Instead of the Media trying to deny the violence we all can plainly see, it would be a more honest argument for them to acknowledge the violence but argue how much of what we see is "acceptable" in the eyes of the community where it happens.
For me, none, and that has already influenced where I live and what businesses I patronize. But I accept that each community will have different standards.
The media knows an alarming number of their viewers are ignorant and radicalized. If you want to get people to tune in, you have to know your audience.
Erick - great commentary. The loss of intellectual honesty leads to loss of the soul. That’s where we are. You are one of the brave few to call it out. I do every day but I don’t have your megaphone. We need more with megaphones to follow suit.
If you’re ever in a field of endeavor that finds itself being reported on by the media (mine was the fire service) you quickly realize how prone to misunderstanding and misinterpretation they can be. Everything is simplified and/or distorted.
If you're standing in a building and a brick comes flying through a window and you're sliced up by shattered glass and hit in the head with the brick...is that violence?
During the 2020 riots, a friend of mine had the rear window of her car smashed with a brick that landed in her child seat in the back. Fortunately, they weren't in the car at the time, it was just a "random" brick thrown over the wall of an apartment complex parking lot...her baby was 9 months old at the time. It could have killed her. The brick had "BLM" painted on it. Ironically, she and her daughter are both black.

Well then I guess any damage done at the Capitol was also not violence.
Great analogy. The biggest worldwide example yet of the media double standard.
IT WAS THE GRAVY!!!

That is why their ratings and sales and credibility are in the toilet. They only preaching to the few that still are in their depleted one note choir.

Depends on the narrative

I'm glad she wasn't hurt. I will never understand rioting. Protest? Marching? Sure. But violence only begets violence.
BTW, Asians can hate Asians... but that is not the point.
Just twisting in the wind trying to condone the 'violence' that is not 'violence'.
Yes our media is incompetent, and supine as well. The media's power is the ability to ignore news, i.e., just not report it.
further, they often misquote what is said. I do not believe they are rained to listen and get things accurately quoted.
