What should journalism be

 Every so often I think about what should the purpose or point of journalism be? 

It should be more than reporting what happened and hiring diversity hires to fill quotas and appease left wing activists . That is what most of your local news stations and papers do.


No wonder people tuned them out and went to Fox News 🗞️ and Newsmax among other outlets.

They attempt real journalism. Even that new station News Nation that Bill O’Reilly and Chris Cuomo are on is a better source than the legacy media.

Women in sports not such a good thing

 I don’t understand why we have to have women reporters coaches executives etc for men’s sports. Last night the Seattle kraken an nhl team made history when their assistant coach was the first prominent assistant coach for one of the four major sports.  It makes sports more sissified and just like another office space.

What the Seattle Mariners owe their fans after a disaster of a collapse conference

 After this pathetic display of collapsing down August and September this is what should happen.


Tuesday afternoon or late Tuesday morning John Stanton and one or two other executives need to call a press conference and announce the firing of Jerry DiPoto and Justin Hollander as POBo and GM of the Seattle mariners and that a search  for a new POBO (president of baseball operations ) as well as General Manager will be begin immediately.


Why Tuesday and not Monday ? Because this Monday the Seattle Seahawks are playing the Detroit lions on Monday night football and as such the sporting press attention will be focused on the Seahawks as it should.


This press conference needs to be done when there is no distractions from the Seahawks game.

This failure is on DiPoto and the owners and NO ONE ELSE 

Otherwise they are wasting the sporting fans time money and attention.

Difference between baseball and football halls of fame

 The following people are in the Pro Football Hall of Fame: O.J. Simpson, Lawrence Taylor, Ray Lewis Brett Favre


The following people are not in the Baseball Hall of Fame: Roger Clemens, Barry Bonds, George Steinbrenner, Curt Schilling, Rafael Palmeiro, manny Ramirez and Sammy Sosa.


Why? Baseball is snobby. They want all of their inductees to look and act like Cal Ripken Jr. clean cut and wholesome as apple pie.

Are progressives silly or myopic or narrow minded

 For as much as the average progressive in your local news outlet or national outlet claims to be smarter than us conservative and intellectually independent people it seems that in reality they are quite limited in terms of their worldview and making intelligent arguments. They have never heard of the conservative giants like William Buckley, Russell Kirk, Milton Friedman and Rush Limbaugh. I feel like I’m living in a different world than many of these people. This objectively is not healthy for our society. 


Even if only 30-40% of the people are conservative or independent from thinking that Biden, Obama and the Democrats should have a blank check on running your life, that’s about 90-125 million Americans.

It would seem to me to be foolish to dismiss those concerns.

DIE in journalism unhealthy for society

 Diversity Inclusion and Equity is a fad that unfortunately has gained strength the last five to ten years . Basically it means that we need to include and listen more to the underrepresented groups of Americans who are largely either female , non European based people and ESPECIALLY the LGBTQ+ community.


However when they report news they do so from a very narrow angle and perspective. I wouldn’t to listen to their views on the military and foreign policy. I also don’t want them running inner cities as crime has gone up in most of these cities.


Therefore tv stations such as WCBS New York channel 2 who employ tons of these women who are more or less diversity hires to look good, have less credibility and seriousness than they did ten to fifteen years ago.


Kristine Johnson has no business being a top TV anchor given how shallow she is. Same with Ali Bauman  and Jessica Moore.


If I ran journalism school I would require reading of Bill Buckley and other conservative voices and thinkers. It would make for a more well rounded journalist and society.

First amendement and freedom of the press disappearing

 Based on an interview that Tucker Carlson did with Dave Benner a libertarian from. Minnesota I am less optimistic about our direction than before. He says that freedom of the press is disappearing and uses some statistics to back it up. For example our freedom index score is 71, about that of Gambia and Tonga, Norway is number one with a 91score.

More to add to this. 


In other words Fox News is not worth our time anymore.
