My mind came back to this post when I read the NYT story about the mass firing of FBI Agents. You know, something commonly called a purge by plain speaking people not afraid to say out loud what they actually see.
Check it out. Mealy mouth NYT>
Hmm, anybody sense a bigger story here?
Maybe my favorite, Unease. Holy shit, they're not at ease down at the FBI. Let's not sugar coat it!
Fuck you, Times.
How about:
Trump Increases Authoritarian Grip at FBI
Loyalty Tests and Mass Firings Weaken Rule of Law
Biggest story of their lives and possibly the history of the republic, and the college boys and grad students strictly follow templates. Nothing above is libel nor inaccurate. It's not editorial. It's a self-evident truth that these idiots can't find the wherewithal to either recognize or say out loud.
It's a deplorable failure. The opposition party has been negated by decades of propaganda. The press is supposed to be the antidote to that.
Just like lawyers leaving law firms that are bending the knee (OMG! realizing that the dream of the big firm partnership is not worth the degradation. But we all hate lawyers like we hate Dems!), reporters and editors should jump off the gray lady and find a place safe for clear, honest reporting.
Of course, the larger part of the population has been convinced that lawyers, unions, government, the press, and the courts are their enemies, so money will be lost doing the right thing. Fight.
ETA: Oh, about the markings. The yellow marks the important part of the story. Believing the cover of loyalty tests in the name of preventing news leaks would be funny if it were not so timid and naive.
"Well, that's what they said, ya know." You're an idiot and disgrace.
