So, I just posted to Mr. Elliot's thread that was self deleted.

And it was deleted...

So, I will paraphrase what he asked. Our media has always been Republican. I differed. My reply-

Back 50 years ago....

I read the Boston Globe, every day, religiously. Front Page, particularly the Spotlight series, local....and, of course, the best written sports section in the country (IMHO).

Added-


We did have a huge liberal/progressive/social justice movement back in the early 70's, in New England. Don't know about other regions, but the Boston Globe was the paper thoughtful people read. The Boston Herald was the "Fox News" equivalent in their day. Without RW funding, it probably would have collapsed if it were reliant on subscriptions to survive.

This song is probably #1 in China Karaoke (or it used to be back 15 years ago).......they love this song, even if they don't understand the words.

Been in manufacturing all my life,

Never met a Trumper who has a clue as to making a product happen. By definition, they were never part of a group trying to develop new products.
