Just what the world has been clamoring for, my uber-lengthy take on the state of the Fourth Estate!
I was in local broadcast journalism 35 years. Started reading newspapers earlier, before the age of 10 because I threw them – morning and afternoon for a decade. Those are my bonafides, but one opinion is no more important than any other.
As evil tried to terrorize, America overcame and responded. To be a free people is to understand that evil is active in promoting fear. It’s minions hate freedom. To overcome evil, America must never allow evil to silence or to stop what our Declaration of Independence declares:
I am a retired insurance executive who has been a Medicare Advantage member for years. Despite working in the insurance industry for most of my life, quality healthcare would have been out of reach for me without the support of Medicare Advantage. I certainly would not be able to take care of my health the way I can as a participant in this program. In general, medical costs are simply too high. Fortunately, Medicare Advantage helps me maintain my health and make it a priority, all within my budget.
Analysis: Friday August 29, Oklahoma State University announced a historic gift to the School of Media and Strategic Communications from OSU alumnus Keith Garton and his husband, David Sheehan.
The commitment is the largest in program history and will establish the Garton Family Endowed Chair for Media and Strategic Communications, but despite a specific request from this writer, OSU declined to specify the gift amount writing, “the donors requested we not publicize the amount of their gift.”
The funds will “support rural journalism and student organizations within the school,” according to the release.
Keith Garton, President & Publisher of Red Chair Publishing holds over 30 years of experience with child-specific educational publishers such as DC Heath, Scholastic, Macmillan McGraw-Hill, Pearson and TIME for Kids. The company specializes in Social, Emotional, Learning (SEL) ideology indoctrination of children.
Analysis: Sunday, the New York Post published an article by Victor Davis Hanson, a distinguished fellow of the Center for American Greatness and one of the world’s leading proponents of common sense in public affairs. The full headline is, “Why the left opposes everything Trump backs — even when they know he’s right,” and is well worth the time to consider, but here we focus on the reasons for the opposition not the plentiful examples.
Hanson begins, “The Pavlovian left goes berserk at the mere prospect of each new Trump initiative. Its escalating reactive venom and hysteria are calibrated to the success of Trump’s latest policy. Yet the new hard-left Democratic Party offers no counter-agenda to explain its furor. Still less do Democrats attempt bipartisan efforts to craft shared legislation.”
