Everybody needs a side hustle these days, and mine is Ukraine, where I am now.

If this bill passes, say goodbye to local control over all Illinois parks and expect to see open drug and alcohol use, needles, no sanitation and fire hazards, but no ordinary park users.
Honestly, I am shocked nearly a third of citizens believe the MSM – thought it would be single digits.

We all know people who listen to them, they are the crazy people on your block with the Hate Has No Home Here signs in their yard.
They are worse than uninformed, they are misinformed, as the old saying goes!
Much of the “Free World” gets their news from US mainstream media.
Just to check for myself, for three weeks I frequently watched MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” (with the sound off while doing other things) to see if they would feature anything about the border. Zip. Nadda. I didn’t see Joe and Mika do a single story. If you didn’t know better, you’d think everything was copacetic down there. Should I even bother checking CNN? I don’t think I’ll waste my time. Funny, the border crisis was a constant story under Trump.

Maybe it’s because so many of them lie shamelessly and routinely. (I’m talking about national, not local media).
Local is just as bad. My local reporter shows up (and participates!) in local Indivisible meetings and reports it as news; and then ‘reports’ (more like tattles) on the government FOIA request that very same organization makes! The #1 rule in journalism is don’t become the news; and this reporter goes out of his/her/them way to drive the news. And even worse, it’s not news! No one cares but the small number of activists who feel they have a local reporter on their side…
Hell yes, local is just as bad. It’s just propaganda. Mockingbird projects have complete control of media. Local, state, and national all BTFO
