This is exceptional. You set forth the beliefs that so many of us are thinking but keep silent for fear of potential cancellation. Let's hope that merit will once again prevail in a culture that has devalued it. Very well done!
The censorship of ideas is the most alarming aspect to this stuff. People on the left are being bullied by a small contingent that has an agenda. I'm happy you agree and enjoyed this. Thanks for the support.
Your post resonates with me, a young white man who has become increasingly disenfranchised by the left. The broader issue as you alluded to lies with the notion of how our news gets delivered to us. Many outlets have devolved into echo chambers where the loudest and most radical often trumpet above the rest and any potential dissonance is ushered away. Uri Berliner’s piece about the new NPR echos much of what you said. Race and gender is inextricably woven into many of these stories with conscious or unconscious emphasis being placed to drive certain narratives. Its is an obvious fact, but one people don’t want to hear. To anyone reading this I encourage the broad intake of many sources before opinion is formed. The lagging attention spans, headline only, radical appeasing stories do no good for the majority of decent Americans.
Thank you for your insightful response. We are in an era of complex and at times confusing alliances. An open and informed mind is the only way through the fire. WE must demand the very least from our media.
Yes, it is sad that mainstream media has lost the ability to inform us of current events and news in an honest and objective way. I agree with much of what you had to say in this article, and can clearly see how the mainstream news media is not reporting news in a straightforward factual manner, but pandering to whatever their overall position is on culture and politics. Sad but true.
Dear Susan, thank you. Yes, I'm simply trying to shine light on things that are spiraling towards a dismal end. I'm trying to awaken sensible minds and hearts. Thanks for your always supoort. Means everything to me. xo

As usuall extremely well written.

Great.
Perfectly said!
Thank you. I'm trying to awaken sensible minds in the golden age of chaos. Thanks for your support.
