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. […]
Yesterday was World Free Press Day. And to help celebrate it, the University of Wisconsin’s Institute of World Affairs had a panel discussion: Silenced! Navigating Global Threats to Press Freedom. And they handed out a couple of flyers including one on free press ranking worldwide from Reporters Without Borders. And here is the top ten […]
This photo appeared on the front page of the Sunday New York Times April 7, 2019 to illustrate an article about the Brazilian soccer club illusion. It appeared above the fold and just below the masthead…took up a quarter of that top part of the page
Do you suppose it would have even made the […]
My local paper, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, ran a story on the front page of today’s print edition about the Mueller report. The article was written by staff writers from USA Today, their parent company. Included in the article, fortunately in the continuation on page 8, was a photo of a ‘thoughtful’ Robert Mueller and […]
Media Misses The Lede On The Robert Kraft Story
Robert Kraft! Robert Kraft! Robert Kraft! It felt like every third item on the Blogging Blue Twitter feed was about Robert Kraft. It felt like every fourth item on my Facebook timeline was about Robert Kraft. Robert Kraft was all over my news feeds. Robert Kraft was the top headline on every media site that […]
No, really. Something that occurs nearly every year will occur again Januray 1, 2019, and everybody at the margin knows it’s going to happen and will probably just shrug.
But here is the headline as it appeared in the Ideas Lab section of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on Wednesday October 24, 2018. Social Security Taxes […]
Brett Kavanaugh Is NOT Fit To Be A Supreme Court Justice.
Professor Christine Basey Ford’s testimony was telling…it was credible…it was believable…and I believe her.
But after Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s behavior in his afternoon testimony, this whole thing should be a moot point. After the anger, the crying, the counter accusations, the obfuscation, the boldfaced lies, it is obvious that Judge Kavanaugh just flat out isn’t […]
Now admittedly this should be small potatoes given the whole world of issues in the big picture USA. And maybe Blogging Blue has provided enough comment and background already but it just feels like this is a symptom of a major disease afflicting Milwaukee directly and the nation as a whole.
