I disagree with Tony often, but I’ve found him to be open-minded (something you point out the local establishment isn’t) and he spends a lot of time trying to make up the massive holes in the local establishment’s coverage, doing so pretty much for free.

Be thankful for the people who disagree with you. They’re the only thing standing in the way of you becoming a totalitarian prick, because the bottom line is that we all have the potential to be fascist pigs.

worse tkc seems to feel she is the only arbiter of what is or isn’t a ‘good’ latino –sanchez doesn’t cut it for him.

this is amusing/horrifying to watch. tkc has so alienated working journos that would once share a public dais with her, that now no one (possibly save Helling) wants to be associated with her: remember that bubble in the bong water over her scheduled inclusion on a kcptv wir show and how everyone (possibly save Helling) refused to go on with her?

witnessing the spectacle somewhat askance, and definitely from afar, this plays out like a particularly cringe worthy telenovela…with no end in sight.

it is, however, hard to look away: where will the little idiot slice herself next?

In addition, the person she alleges made the goofy quotes isn’t the person who was on the panel. At no time did she offer anything but guilt by (distant) association as evidence. Just another of Mary’s daily hates.

Also, i got a giggle out of her reference to the eugenics movement since The Star has been an outright whore for Planned Parenthood whose co-founder was an outright racist eugenicist (something that’s not in the distant past since they still give out an “award” that bears her name, ironically to The Star). So if you want to talk racists here by Mary’s standards, let’s also include Planned Parenthood and their genocidal assault on people of color, and The Star for not only supporting PP’s racist goals, but for actually accepting an”award” named for a racist eugenicist.

But you make an excellent point, of course. There is the expression “observe and report.” Dad referred to himself and his colleagues as being “observers,” a somewhat unique role that essentially separated them from the rest of society, but there comes a time when the reporting must occur, and here the “observers” need to be ever so careful in every phase of this process. In our 24/7 news cycle, unfortunately, the general tendency of the media is to “glance and shoot” because being first with the “news” (which often really isn’t news) is seen as the quickest path to relevancy. Nothing could be further from the truth.
