CNN Why are you Anti-people?


I don't mind the Capitalist Network News because "money talks and nobody walks," but I consider it despicable when CNN is against the people. Yes, it's easy to talk about the heinous police activity that resulted in George Floyd's senseless death; but to have former Police Chief Charles Ramsey weigh in on that death speaks volumes about where CNN stands when it comes to anyone whose constitutional rights have been violated.

Read this exerpt from https://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/news/article/13025802/boss-hogtie :

Charles Ramsey was the man--proud to the hilt--responsible for this travesty. The city had to pay up millions and Ramsey moved on to Philadelphia where those in power thought it would be great to have Ramsey's draconian antics play out in their municipality.

I was personally affected by his dirtbag policies in D.C. when I was handcuffed so tightly that my hand went numb for days. There were others worse off. We were there to peacefully protest and ask for F___ING Medicare for all. CNN did not, to my knowledge, carry any of this. Now, they are surprised and offended by the video of police brutality. Really, CNN? Get your act together. Where the fuck is Ted Turner--he must have some f___ing stock remaining, or does he only care about his longevity these days?

Poppy Harlow and Jim Sciutto, thanks for not repeating Berman and Cammarata's use of suspect analysts on the George Floyd death.

Also despicable and also on the Bobbsey Twins Show, was that Mayor of Orange County Florida who hesitated to call the death, murder. Again, it speaks volumes that his wife is in the running to be Uncle Joe Biden's VP pick. We are all aware of how "Indonesian" Biden and Obama tended to be in a Nation proud of its Constitutional rights.


Media Notes:
Zuckerberg says social media should not have to be the "arbiter of truth." A-hole, I suppose the earliest newspapers used that excuse too; saying, "only the town crier" should be an arbiter of truth?

I saw a clip on CNN of a maskless President Xi at a government conference. I would have worn a mask like those hundreds sitting behind and above him (the venue had stadium seating). I would fear that the higher density at the bottom would keep the virus afloat and more likely to infect. However, I'm sure everyone there was tested.

New Jersey's Department of Personnel

I'm 57 years old. That alone makes it very hard to penetrate the job market. However, NJDOP has a website where you can browse available jobs and submit an application along with $15. I did that and I waited and waited for the process to reach the stage where the actual hiring agency would give out interviews for the position. 2 months into that last stage (the DOP said that the hiring agency had 90 days in which to interview candidates), I got anxious and decided to call the municipality. They were supposed to pick from the top 3 candidates but they told me in no uncertain terms that they were going to give it to "the person who was already doing the job." When I questioned the ethics and legality of their decision, I was told that they really hadn't finalized things. This person was hoping that I would go away but, sadly, NJ is a state where ageism and/or crony-ism is condoned. Stay tuned, I'm waiting to see if I get an interview and if I don't get the job,...

Size and other Characteristics Matter in Trumpville

Why was Comey fired? He towered over Trump, that's why. It's a no-no. That other dude that knew his job well was tall, and I suspect the administration knew all the time of his spousal abuse history but it only became a problem for him when his height got on the president's nerve, OUT. This height obsession is a conflation of the President's own tallness and NY real estate where the bigger the edifice, the bigger your status. Look at whom he holds on to--Sessions, plenty of reason to fire him but he's all so diminutive that Mr. Trump feels he might be charged with child abuse if he were to act against him; besides, Sesssions takes it on the chin and will forever hold the distinct "honor" of being the first mainstream Republican to embrace the President's candidacy. This represents two pluses. The short and tough-looking General Mattis stays while the bigger and better looking Tillerson goes. Mustaches: if you have one, you're out but a whit...

I Doubt My Mother-in-Law will ever get Covid Even at 90+

You see, she has never been a germaphobe and that means her immune system is tip top. When you're not a germaphobe, you subject yourself to all manner of germs that immunize you against similar organisms. My German mother-in-law cleans her home meticulously but she has no compunction with sticking her hands into the sewer and unclogging it by hand. "But Midge, I have a snake for that. Ah, what's the big deal, she says to me." Never argue with your mother-in-law. When your mother tells you to wash your hands before supper, is she doing you a disfavor? I think so. In countries with many parasites or in our present pandemic, you want to wash them off your hands but, if not, you want lots and lots of germs to keep your immune system on guard. This brings me to the factoid that Women are less likely to get or die from Covid. Duh, obviously, who subject themselves to more germs as a parent? The one who plays in the parlor with the kids or the one who cleans their diaper...
