Thanks so much for bringing it to my attention.

No one in the country spoke to Baltimore as well as President Obama, imho.

And what do we get on most major new media? More endless loops of a burning building. More hyper-sensationalism. And what do we get from most everywhere else? Commentary completely lacking perspective, cynicism, full of mischaracterizations borne of profound ignorance. And worse, many people gullibly swallowing all that swill and repeating it ad nauseum.
