it's easy being a journalist these days. you don't have to think, question, locate and talk to sources, check for accuracy. no skills required beyond ability to read whatever the Trusted News Initiative sends over. they're like the stepford wives. or a bunch of actors reading a set script for an audition. what used to require work is now just an easy gig. great clips, thanks.

You're welcome. Like Jefferson said, the government's standing army of newswriters

And they don't even print the where, when , how, or why. I read articles and say "huh?", it's ridiculous.

Have you noticed that in addition to their deceptive practices, the so-called journalists you describe can't write a paragraph that makes sense?

Spell check, auto correct and editors who supposedly go through it and they still mess it up! What is the point of journalism schools?

Sounds interesting but not suprising.

Josh Shapiro and Ellen Greenberg (Case Secrets, Coverups)

Josh Shapiro's role in the coverup of Ellen Greenberg death has come under scrutiny in the recent weeks. Ellen Greenberg, a 27-year-old teacher, was found dead in her Philadelphia apartment on January 26, 2011, with over 20 stab wounds. Josh Shapiro's office ruled Ellen Greenberg's death a suicide, despite her being stabbed 10 times in the chest and 10 times in the back, with two of the stabbings occurring post mortem.

Just read an article on John Shapiro being Kameltoes VP pick. Wasn't there a sex harassment scandal involving him when she was an AG? He's canceled several campaign events for himself. As to Kameltoes, she is CONSIDERED a Causian Indian, through her mom who raised her in their traditions. Her dad is Jamaican, Irish, of mixed race, and a committed MARKIST. They were students in the US, mom was on an expired visa. At MOST SHE IS A DACA. THE COMBO COVERED ASIAN, IRISH, AND A TAD OF BLACK. And is good at hiding herself.
