moonseller66's JournalIsn't the media forgetting something?
Based on the testimony today, we know pretty much squat that we knew before.
Why?
Maybe if the fucking redacted parts were revealed things would be different. You mean no Representative could ask if there was much more information in the "redacted" report that might educate the public?
If there was nothing there, why not publicize it?
And did Nancy or any other congressional reps read the un-redacted report?
Did any newsreader (there are no journalists) even bother to ask if anyone other than Trump, Republicans or Barr read the whole report? The democrats need to be pushing the point home that ALL the report data must be released.
Impeachment hearings would allow that and more but Nancy and the "moderates" and especially the Republicans don't want that for some reason.
Until the whole report is revealed, the Republicans win.
Imagine if a president were assassinated and the report was never made public....wait, uh, never mind.
Stay stupid, sheep.
It's a shame...
that either Harris or Warren won't be president.
But it'll be fantastic when EITHER one becomes president.
The Journalist's Creed - Honest!
This is right up there with 45's :
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
The Journalist's Creed*
- I believe in the profession of journalism.
- I believe that the public journal is a public trust; that all connected with it are, to the full measure of their responsibility, trustees for the public; that acceptance of a lesser service than the public service is betrayal of this trust.
- I believe that clear thinking and clear statement, accuracy and fairness are fundamental to good journalism.
- I believe that a journalist should write only what he holds in his heart to be true.
- I believe that suppression of the news, for any consideration other than the welfare of society, is indefensible.
- I believe that no one should write as a journalist what he would not say as a gentleman; that bribery by one’s own pocketbook is as much to be avoided as bribery by the pocketbook of another; that individual responsibility may not be escaped by pleading another’s instructions or another’s dividends.
- I believe that advertising, news and editorial columns should alike serve the best interests of readers; that a single standard of helpful truth and cleanness should prevail for all; that the supreme test of good journalism is the measure of its public service.
- I believe that the journalism which succeeds best — and best deserves success — fears God and honors Man; is stoutly independent, unmoved by pride of opinion or greed of power, constructive, tolerant but never careless, self-controlled, patient, always respectful of its readers but always unafraid, is quickly indignant at injustice; is unswayed by the appeal of privilege or the clamor of the mob; seeks to give every man a chance and, as far as law and honest wage and recognition of human brotherhood can make it so, an equal chance; is profoundly patriotic while sincerely promoting international good will and cementing world-comradeship; is a journalism of humanity, of and for today’s world.
The Journalist's Creed is a personal affirmation of journalism ethics written by Walter Williams in 1914. The creed has been published in more than 100 languages, and a bronze plaque of The Journalist's Creed hangs at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. Williams was the founding dean of the Missouri School of Journalism.

The Republican Plan for a One-Party State
In case you missed this Alternet.org article by Rick Perlstein in in 2017, it's well worth the few minutes to read or reread it.
Project Redmap
He called his plan “Project REDMAP.” It would work like this. Through assiduous research, his group would pinpoint a handful of vulnerable Democratic seats in states where control of state legislatures was close—Pennsylvania, for example, where Democrats controlled the lower chamber by a single vote—identifying the tipping points that could flip those bodies for the Republicans. They would then control the drawing of U.S. congressional maps after the 2010 census. At the time there were an estimated 25 true “swing” congressional districts. By deploying state-of-the-art software to devise maps to capture the greatest number of U.S. House seats with the fewest number of votes, the party could move every one of them safely into Republican hands for at least the next 10 years. All, he promised, for the low, low price of $30 million—about a tenth of what people are estimating the candidates will spend in the upcoming 2018 Illinois governor’s race alone. Karl Rove ducked in on one of the pitch meetings: “People call us a vast right-wing conspiracy, but we’re really a half-assed right-wing conspiracy. Now it’s time to get serious.”
There's a lot more. It's disturbing at the very least. Your Republican Rep (whomever) cares not at all for democracy, only their own power for their masters and screw the Stupid American Public.
Please take a couple moments to read it and pass it along to your fiends on the other side of the aisle or even a nice copy to any Republican Rep asking if this is what they truly want.
Only through a concerted effort in 2018 did we manage to wrest control of the House from the forces out to destroy Democracy. Cnntinue fighting among ourselves and 2020 might be the One Party Country the Republicans and Corporate Business HUnger for.
After all, if you can't have it all legally, get it anyway you can.
With apologies for no link...my fault
