Misguided Journalism On Display in Boston




Let me get this right. If the state government repeals the state law that allows the display of the Confederate flag, that will end unlawful discrimination, and killings in the state? Will that include ending unlawful bias toward persons with disabilities too? Glad to see prominent Boston columnists join the easily led Pavlovian useful idiots who follow the bouncing media ball wherever it leads. Don't pay attention to the secret trade agreement, that destroys protections of elective government. An agreement unread by candidates for president (e.g., Marco Rubio who did not read it but voted for it). Giving away decision making power to foreign governments and businesses. How can civilians without means to counter propaganda, combat misguided priorities of media corporations and government deceivers? Why should Boston politicians and journalists dictate to people of South Carolina what to do? Are Boston civilians more moral and intelligent than southerners? Why are Boston elitists clueless about the dangers of the secret trade agreement supported by both political parties, but know about flags, footballs, racism and same sex marriage? Is this column part of the relentless effort to keep people uninformed? More shameless political exploitation of tragic deaths, while victim families still mourn?
