I suspect there are other trucks heading to all points of the compass.<\/p>\n<p>I see that Jeff Bezos via the Washington Post is accusing many of the news sites I read regularly of being Russian propaganda mouthpieces who&#8217;ve all been doing their best to influence the election. Pot, meet kettle. The WP, along with the NYT, ABC\/CBS\/NBC\/PBS\/CNN\/FOX and other mainstream media operations have done themselves untold damage over the course of the 2016 campaign. Before that, a significant minority of Americans disliked and mistrusted them. Now, that&#8217;s true of probably a majority of Americans. Man or woman, young or old, rich or poor, white or black, religious or not, most Americans now recognize the MSM as a propaganda organ for the progressives. Many of them approve, unfortunately, but the point is that now most understand that there&#8217;s no objectivity in the MSM. They&#8217;re making themselves increasingly useless to anyone, and among them I most definitely include FoxNews, which is no more conservative than the Democrat party or the GOP. They&#8217;re all progs, damn them to hell.<\/p>\n<hr style=\"width: 65%; height: 3px; font-family: Arial;\" \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>08:47 &#8211; Rot in Hell, Fidel.
