“I deplore … the putrid state into which our newspapers have passed and the malignity, the vulgarity and the mendacious spirit of those who write for them… These ordures are rapidly depraving the public taste and lessening its relish for sound food. As vehicles of information and a curb on our functionaries, they have rendered themselves useless by forfeiting all title to belief… This has, in a great degree, been produced by the violence and malignity of party spirit.” - Thomas Jefferson described the abuses of a free press in 1814 in a letter to his friend Walter Jones
Editor's Note: Nothing has changed, nor it will ever change, regarding the lack of integrity in the media! It has been so from their founding, and will continue to be so until the end of time. But right now, today, because of modern communications, they have more easily, and more thoroughly, corrupted the nation's perception of reality with the stench of their morality, and stunning level of hypocritical ignorance.
Worse yet, they work diligently to prevent anyone from exposing their perfidy! As an example, YouTube suspended One America News Network channel for what they're calling misinformation violations for COVID-19 policy. That's a convenient way of saying anything that disagrees with the leftist agenda, AKA, free speech, is misinformation and must be censored. Yet they have little trouble promoting outright lies. Those don't count because those lies promote false leftist narratives.
Calling them sewer trout would be an insult to trout and sewers, since both serve a useful purpose. RK
