Many of us are here on The Free Press, and sustaining the site with our hard-earned, ever more worthless money, in the hopes that what they publish is the result of honest research and reflection.
Many of us can excuse the biases of some...or is that all...of the contributors as long as that bias is freely admitted and properly defined.
Articles such as this may not change the way people think or act. My continued financial support is contingent on the authors and editors doing their part. If they do, I will continue to do mine.
That’s it! I often think we need a re-education in news versus editorial. I hear unfounded complaints about the editorials being biased but then see the biased “news” being taken at face value. I’m not sure they’re teaching the difference anymore.
Newspapers have every right to take on the political outlooks of their publishers. That is what having a free market requires. Editors have every right to allow their writers to make explicit the biases that those writers bring to the table. I applaud writers who admit to what they are trying to do. It's called being honest.
I draw the line, however, when stories are imagined and with events choreographed to substantiate the narrative. I draw the line when key elements of a narrative are left out because they refute what is being alleged. I draw the line when writers, editors, publishers, columnists, and contributors collude to make a narrative more compelling than it natively deserves.
More directly, I reserve my revulsion, anger, and determined opposition when it is my government that is the one that is guilty of gaslighting and/or taking unethical or illegal activity in the furtherance of their deception and tyranny.
I urge people to re-read the Declaration of Independence and measure the governance of today with that yardstick. I urge people to re-read our Constitution for what it says, not for what one thinks it says.
I urge people to stand up to forces that are trying to subvert that meaningful goal articulated by Lincoln of government of the people, by the people, for the people, and work to return to our hands those powers that our limited federal government has presumed to be within its brief.
Our children and grandchildren need our help. The sooner we begin helping them, the better off their futures will be.
Trust, once lost, is hard to restore.

Excellently stated!
I'm not sure what they are teaching. Period.
