As a candidate, Donald Trump campaigned"and won"this year on the promise he would lower prices for Americans angry after the COVID pandemic's inflation brought steep price increases, but now he's backtracking, saying he's not sure he will actually be able to fulfill those vows.

Leave it to jeff to get it exactly wrong.

1. Balance or diversity of opinion is not automatically a virtue in journalism. Accuracy is. Having the courage to publish hard facts against the powers that be the most important virtue.

2. OAN or Newsmax or Foxnews spewing republican propaganda is not the same as the NYT accurately reporting -------- crimes. It simply isn't. And I will even grant that there is bias against the truth across the spectrum-though it is far worse on the conservative side.

3. This is actually about major news organizations publicly bowing to political pressure. That is obscene and should be terrifying to everyone, even you. This portends the future of journalism will be to NOT cover the ------- administration honestly or courageously.

4. We are seeing the effects of an ongoing assault on press freedom. You think it a coincidence ABC settled what was nothing more than a nuisance lawsuit? ABC was sued because Stephanopoulos said ------- was an adjudicated rapist-something even the trial judge said. That type of statement CLEARLY falls within the realm of press freedom for a public figure like -------. What damage did --------uffer from Stephanopoulos saying that? ------- is obviously a public figure. That type of statement is or was simple acceptable to state.

5. ABC is owned by Disney; Disney has been dealing with litigation from Florida over Disney's criticism of the Don't Say Gay bill. That has OBVIOUSLY made them gun shy on covering republican issues or criticizing -------.

6. To give you perspective jeff, this is sort of like Hannity going to Delaware and pledging to back off on Hunter Biden criticism. Or FoxNews settling a theoretical lawsuit that Biden brought against them for saying the Biden Crime Family.

7. You think that the recent attacks and surrenders by press organizations will make right wing propaganda machines more or less honest? FoxNews paid, what, 3/4 of a billion dollars for spewing lies. Lies they admitted to and all proof indicating it (so no there is NO equivalence between what Fox and ABC did)? Or do you think it will be a permission structure for them to lie more?

This assault is astounding honestly. And the damage cannot be understated. If the press is afraid to report on stuff ------- is doing or to editorialize on it, well there goes another MAJOR guardrail on -------- presidency.

Celebrating? WOW you are stupid

But I knew that

What is celebrating about that whole post? I lament the situation, I point to the injustice of the 2 situations, by juxtaposing the 2 cases I reveal the character of this nation and it's priorities

In one, we have a man who will be subject to the full weight of the CJS for killing a wealthy person, who by all moral measures was a horrible person. A person who exploits a unjust and disgusting healthcare system to enrich himself to a gross level.

In the other, we have a sick man who our nation refused to provide proper healthcare to, being murdered for the crime of being sick in public. Neely should not have even been in a subway, but he was, as a result of out nation's healthcare.

His sickness made him lash out. I have immense sympathy for sick people, you obviously do not.

Penny took it upon himself to kill this sick man.

He was no Good Samaritan; he is a murderer. A Good Samaritan would help the sick person.

The comparison could not be starker and reveals our nation's priorities.

We condemn sick people to homelessness and death at the hands of strangers while making -------- disgustingly rich for exploiting sick people.

It is morally bankrupt

I get it, you will not understand, that is because you are a morally deficient bag of ----

This is the post you say I am advocating murder or celebrating murdering people.

Please point to the words where I say that.

In fact, I say the opposite "I lament the situation,..."

OH Wait I get it, you're too stupid and don't know what lament means,

Here, free of charge

lament
/l'ment/
noun
a passionate expression of grief or sorrow.
"his mother's night-long laments for his father"

verb
mourn (a person's loss or death).
"he was lamenting the death of his in

Get it yet? Probably not.
