Unseasonably warm weather here on the front range of CO.
Watching a “60 minutes overtime” about the Shah & Ayotola from shortly before the #IranHostageCrisis
Hubs knows all about it & is generous in answering my questions…. Quite informative.
These are the news segments I crave. I grew up with this kind of informative news segments.
We need something better than the #FairnessDoctrine
This show is on CBS news national or CBS news Miami.
I will do other stuff, too.

There's a lot to be done, eg,
#Resist via #GeneralStrike

until meaningful policies like
#AbolishICE
#SCOTUSpurge
#EpsteinTrials
#M4A
can happen (initially through state-by-state #SoftSuccession )

...but this (link below) is correct. Without enforcing #RedLionDecision by re-instituting the #FairnessDoctrine you cannot ever truly achieve #MediaLiteracy and reform in #USPolitics

And if you're #Ukraine #EU or #Canada , you should angle for this in the states, too.

The Haake Take

@Dhmspector I think overall, it could be a big win, if pundants don't go overboard commercializing the opportunity, and people actively listen. PBS is very good at ridding the wolves of their sheep's clothing. Like this exchange here...

One year in, a look at the impact of Trump's immigration crackdown

Federal agents continue to clash with protesters in Minnesota. It's the latest development in what has been a turbulent year as President Trump has carried out his promise to crack down on illegal immigration. Liz Landers discussed more with Chad Wolf, a former acting secretary of Homeland Security under Trump, and John Sandweg, the former acting director of ICE in the Obama administration.

What do you expect from a 24-hour news cycle and hacks playing "journalist"? When and IF the #Democrat 's ever take power again they should restore the #FairnessDoctrine #RonaldReagan abolished or create an equivalent that applies to the 21st century!

When all we had were the "big three," I don't remember it ever being this bad. Well except for the #SmothersBrothers Maybe that #fairnessdoctrine policy established in 1949 by the FCC did us some good.

Ronald Reagan
FUCK Reagan! He's the reason we're in this mess! If he hadn't abolished the #FairnessDoctrine there would be no Fox "news" I say let's go back to Eisenhower myself! For his corporate tax rate alone
Addendum! #Reagan abolishing the #FairnessDoctrine a policy that required the holders of broadcast licenses both to present controversial issues of public importance and to do so in a manner that fairly reflected differing viewpoints is a VERY close second.
