He is entitled to his opinion, as we all are.
Opinions vary.
I'm sure there are no 'politics' involved.

In order to have a career "inside the beltway", it is required that one denounce Trump. It is a tenet of their religion.

Nice! (The couplet.)

That's kind of a truism.

What would be some (or any) important examples of news that is not bought and sold?

It's not that I have any particular direction or agenda in mind, with this question.

But that is an obvious question, if this aspect of the discussion were going to be enlarged or carried forward in any way.

I think it's interesting that Stephanie Grisham resigned after yesterday's somewhat amusing (in an Animal House kind of way) but undeniably tragic (young woman shot dead) events around and inside the Capitol Building.

Interesting, because Stephanie Grisham had become the First Lady's chief of staff.

Who'd like to be a fly on the wall inside the room where Melania Trump is conversing freely with one or more of her circle of friends and confidantes, without any particular concern about maintaining her public role as FLOTUS..?

Or is that thought so vicarious that I should be ashamed to think of it myself?

I'm sure its hard to recognize. How about news that is reported purely.

On 9/11, 40 crew and passengers of UA Flight 93 heroically gave their lives to prevent an attack on the Capitol Building.

Yesterday, the President of the United States incited his supporters to attack the Capitol Building, calling them "great patriots."

Today, people on Pennock's Fiero Forum, the same people who earlier this year decried the Black Lives Matter movement as having no legitimate cause and are just a bunch of rioters/looters/hooligans, are justifying the actions of seditionists and traitors who attacked the halls of our democracy at the urging of the POTUS with the statement that "People are tired of being pushed down/around". I'd call them out on their hypocrisy, but it would fall on deaf ears...

Also, yes, the drama queen is back. I stand by my post. The Rebel flag is the symbol of traitors who decided that people with dark skin are less than people with white skin. It was flown by a traitor army in the Civil War, and was carried through the halls of our government center yesterday by traitors. You can justify this as heritage all you want, but the truth hurts, so suck it up buttercup.

Also, I am no fan of Trump

Fox? Youtube? Brietbart? Which one of these is the pure reporting?

Jason, I love you like a brother, I truly do, but I removed you from my friends list for good reason. Broaden your sources a bit. Youtube is a self-guided echo chamber, and I am sincerely concerned that this is the only place you are finding what you want to hear.
