A reader reacts to my observation concerning amateurs:
IN all fairness Hue, consider the source., CNN. I think his observation was a logic one , and the Paris Fire Dept gave a reasonable response . Liberal TV as you well know has nothing better to do then criticize any thing the President has to say.
I went back and reviewed the report I cited from CNN, and I think they simply reported what he said sans opinion or slanting.
But I was not commenting on a perceived bias in the media, but on my reaction to a comment by the current occupant of one of the most powerful and influential offices in the world, diminished as it has become over the last two years. He can’t refrain from giving advice to those experts who are on the front lines while he lounges, expertise-free in front of his TV, and thinks he has something to say about it. In that one remark he embodies his arrogance that is so incompatible with his office.
I can’t wait for his comments on how to explore a black hole.
Another reader reacts to the first:
Liberal TV? The vast, vast majority of media companies (print, online, TV, cable, etc.) are owner and run by conservatives and have a conservative bent to most of their reporting.
But if they’re not conservative enough, then they’re liberal, no? We’re seeing a redefinition of conservative and, to a lesser extent, liberals, as those who would return to an imagined Golden Age take control of a Republican Party which would repudiate some of its greatest achievements over the last 100 years if it could – and it can.
