Wow, what is going on?

Corruption, huh? 

What I always admired about journalism is it’s high practice standards. Journalism requires duplicity in their fact finding. Journalism, when times become difficult, can’t let it’s backbone slip. If the Tweets by Trump are inflammatory, lies or simply the wrong path for the country; journalism has to rise above it. The American people have turned time and again to the country’s great newspapers to protect them and the country. It seems to me great journalism is needed now more than ever.

Trump wants to distract the country from the Middle East and his aspirations to lead the region into war to change the map of those Great People. That is why Trump wants to meet with Putin. Trump wants control of the war that will change the map of the region. Putin wants an excuse to send nukes into Alaska.

Americans are counting on their press to be strong and filter out lies from the truth and advocate peace.

Come on now, we have work to do. Ethical, moral work. Rise above Tweets based in power and be truth tellers.

I have never read Twitter. I have only responded to it when it was pulled into the news by journalism. I don’t and never will read Trump’s Tweets. Not one.

Think about it and stop looking for the quick fix. Get your acts together on this one. I heard the US Senate has published their findings. That is a good start.

Enjoy the Fourth of July.

Later.
