Trump’s Support In Wisconsin?
I am not going to go into great detail on who in Wisconsin supports Donald Trump…I’ll let the article speak for itself. It gets into breakdowns of college/non-college, rural/urban, gender, religious/not, etc. So if you are a policy wonk, you’ll love it. Here’s the intro though so you can get an idea of where […]
Not that long ago, when many towns and cities had competing daily newspapers, one would be conservative and the other liberal…and were often specifically GOP or Democratic leaning. I believe in those days, The Milwaukee Sentinel (the morning paper) was Republican in nature while The Milwaukee Journal (the evening paper) supported Democrats. Later as papers […]
Journalism In Milwaukee Takes Another Hit
Gannett Co, the owner of USA Today and the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (and 98 other papers) is being acquired by GateHouse Media (which if you trace the lineage is a division of Japanese company Softbank).
This is being touted as a great way to preserve for profit print journalism in America as the […]
Just Wondering About US Pakistan Relations:
I haven’t had time to search my usual news sources yet today…but the prime minister of Pakistan visited the White House yesterday…and the only clips of the post meeting press conference showing up in social media show the president fielding all kinds of questions unrelated to Pakistan.
That totally sucks…and I blame both parties for […]
Shame On Me For Missing This: Racism at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
this came up in the Blogging Blue Twitter feed. I am disgusted with myself for not understanding what I was reading…on Saturday the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Green Sheet includes a news quiz with multiple choice answers:
And the tweet that brought this to my attention:
Today @js_newswatch decided that a little Black girl […]
Media Keeps Bringing Trump Elephant Into The Room
Like a number of other members of his cohort, 2020 Demcratic presidential candidate Senator Bernie Sanders (I- VT) visited Milwaukee last week…for the LULAC convention and other campaign appearances. Of course this garnered a major story in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, as it should.
But right in the middle of the story, writer Bill […]
Sarah Huckabee Sanders To Leave The White House
A number of media outlets have reported that President Trump tweeted that his press secretary Sarah Sanders is leaving her post at the end of June.
Although some recent reports had stated she was upset because of accusations that she is often lying to protect the president…the timing is rather surprising. I mean, […]
As most of you are probably aware, I rely pretty heavily on the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and its online presence, JSOnline, for state, Milwaukee county and local news. Late last month JSOnline tightened its pay wall and many of you might not be able to read the entire article that I link to from Blogging […]
Just this past Saturday, I wrote about a conference that I attended at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee about freedom of the press around the world. In that article, I showed that the United States currently ranks 48 in press freedom…and I think that next review we won’t even be in the top 50. […]
