Democracy Dies in Darkness

Looking at YOU Washington Post! Democracy Dies in Darkness – Indeed.

Below the fold for the NY Times. But hey, at least it was mentioned?

I am old enough to remember when reputable mainstream media sources would – oh, I don’t know REPORT ON THE ACTUAL FUCKING NEWS?

I actually look fondly back at my youth – spending Sunday morning surrounded by the newspapers – Sunday Talk Shows perhaps on the teevee in the background. Most of the time in a coffeeshop or restaurant over a lingering brunch.

Today, I don’t even share articles from these sources I used to subscribe to and devour daily. What a world. What a crock of shit too – how on earth can the Washington Post still use the tagline Democracy Dies in Darkness? When they are the ones turning off the lights upon bended knee?
