I went looking for ‘unbiased news’

One post opinion: NPR, ProPublica, Al-Jazeera America, WaPo, Mother Jones. (Unbiased if you are a leftist environmentalist.)

Another: Wikinews, AlterNet, The Real News, Reuters, The Independent, BBC/PBS/CSpan. (Not even close.)

At unbiasednews.org is a pie chart: Breakdown of Trump supporters – 78% misinformed; 22% wear tin foil hats.

There are many sites discussing unbiased news and how there is no such thing.

We are doomed, I tell you. Doomed.

Homeowner truthful about weapon

Or, as This Ain’t Hell says: “It seems having an actual weapon is better than just saying you have one.”

Stop the presses! Stop the presses!

Breaking News: ‘Female Marines to Sleep Next to Male Marines in Field’

For real?

The story (four days old and from AP): “Female infantry Marines will be sleeping in makeshift shelters next to their male counterparts when out in the field and no special accommodation will be offered to them, a Marine Corps official said Thursday.”

The women Marines will continue to have separate quarters when not in the field.

Aye, there's the rub

Like the nattering nabobs of TV news, everyday leftists talk only to each other

Watch TV news programs and you will see and hear the same people saying the same things to the same people, over and over. Leftist Progressives are the same. What you and I think, does not matter, because they are not talking to us.

So says the Z Man, and so it is.

“Their lunacy is not directed at the rest of us. They don’t care what you or anyone else thinks about what’s happening. Their public acts are about signaling to the rest of the believers. By holding protests and making fools of themselves in a public way, they are providing support for one another as they work through the disconfirmation. Like herd animals, they are huddling together in the face if danger. It is pure instinct.

“If they were left to sit alone at home, they would have no one around to help them through their doubts. These are people whose entire sense of self is dependent on the identity of the group, so getting out and ‘making their voices heard’ lets them focus on something other than the disconfirmation.” – The great disconfirmation.

Why did someone bury 70,000 Celtic coins 2,000 years ago?

‘Last coins excavated from huge Jersey Celtic hoard’

“When Reg Mead and Richard Miles found the hoard after 30 years of searching the same field because of a story they’d heard from the previous landowners daughter, they only dug down to the surface of the mass of coins before alerting Jersey Heritage so the professionals could take over the excavation. With such a great quantity of coins corroded together, archaeologists dug the entire hoard out of the ground in a single soil block measuring 4.5 x 2.6 feet and weighing three quarters of a ton.”

The story does not conclude with “Why the coins were buried.” Rats.

Things were dull in 1909 Toledo

There are lots of people around the Hotel Boody, though.

Ah, the good old days. Water wagon in the next block. (Pay no attention to the horse piles.)
