# 25 What is going on?

Hello to all.  Some things just make me go "What"?  The photo of the lady holding the severed head resembling President Trump.  What was she thinking when the photo shoot was planned.  A desperate person seeking attention, or someone so unhappy with her own life she wanted to spread that unhappiness to others.  Sure we have free speech and the right to protest events and people we don't agree with.  But come on what about common sense.  Now she claims she is the victim in this case.  She is the victim by her own actions.  Stupidity. 

Out rage by the main stream media over the Paris Agreement.  Again free speech and all.  How much longer will we call them main stream media.  I think soon they will become tabloid journals.  How could they call themselves journalist the way they report events.  Most are just telling a story from their point of view.  That's not a journalist but a pundit.  Give them a subject and they become hypothetical in their response.  Example:  " The driver crashed his car into a school yard at 2:40 AM.  He was arrested for suspicion of DUI."  Is this the end of the story? No.  "There could have been deaths and injury to dozens if children had been present."  Duh.  And my father could have been born half horse half man but he wasn't.  Come on people be straight with the public.  Issue a disclaimer before you start talking.  Accountant's lie but numbers don't.  Journalists have become "What if" this happens.

Cable news shows. Headline " MSNBC ratings are up from last year."  But Fox News still won the week.  A liberal media will headline for a liberal network, buried in the story some where will be the truth.  How many people go beyond the headline?  The main stream media is dumbing down the USA.  We all get a participation trophy for just being here.  We once had individual thought in this country.  Lately that has seemed to slowly disappear.

Take care.
