The Collapse of American Journalism
Any honest consumer of American journalism has known for years that it tends to tilt left but in this presidential news cycle it has removed all pretense of trying to being remotely unbiased with its coverage. Whether or not you like Donald Trump is irrelevant to the fact that journalists are supposed to strive to be impartial. No longer, it semms.
Indeed, no foreign enemy, no terror group, no native criminal gang, suffers the daily beating that Trump does. The mad mullahs of Iran, who call America the Great Satan and vow to wipe Israel off the map, are treated gently by comparison.
By torching its remaining credibility in service of Clinton, the mainstream media’s reputations will likely never recover, nor will the standards. No future producer, editor, reporter or anchor can be expected to meet a test of fairness when that standard has been trashed in such willful and blatant fashion.
Liberal bias in journalism is often baked into the cake. The traditional ethos of comforting the afflicted and afflicting the comfortable leads to demands that government solve every problem. Favoring big government, then, becomes routine among most journalists, especially young ones.

What the hell do you have to lose?
“You’re living in poverty, your schools are no good, 58% of your youth are unemployed — what the hell do you have to lose?” Trump asked the audience in an unscripted moment from a speech in which he otherwise stuck to his teleprompter.
He accused Clinton of wanting to give jobs to refugees rather than unemployed African-Americans in the US, saying they have “become refugees in their own country.”

On how politicians, foreign and domestic, used the climate hoax.
I learned that both domestic and international actors had succeeded in using the poorly understood science of climate change to advance an ambitious environmental agenda focused on increasing centralized control over people’s daily lives.

Libin on the the Alberta NDP. He’s like, “What the heck are you doing, Alberta NDP?”
I’m like, “Uh, Kevin, that’s the effing plan.”
Libin likely doesn’t have much contact with the NDP or their beliefs.
What do you think happens when the Balancing Pool is running all of the formerly private power companies? If you guessed Alberta Power Corp., congratulations. If you think the ABNDP wouldn’t like to leave behind a few crown corps when they leave office, you’re mistaken.
What better way to nationalize an industry then using the capitalists own weapon? I’d be surprised if the NDP hadn’t game-planned this for years. Carbon Dioxide gives the perfect excuse to run up the bills, the contracts guarantee the companies get bought out by the gov’t., the citizens pay a tonne-more to ABPower, ABPower pays a tonne-more to the gov’t, the coffers run over.
This isn’t incompetence, it’s a socialist wet-dream.
If the interaction between a couple of our Alberta commentators is any indication, then bank on at least one more term. The Alberta right-wing appears to still be in stage two of grief, anger.
