VISION, CHUTZPAH, AND SOME TESTOSTERONE: The New York Times turns its editorial page over to letters from Trump supporters. This is a nice gesture. They do seem to be trying to open things up a bit.

WELL, OKAY THEN: Actress Shailene Woodley: #MeToo Movement ‘Ushering in Sacred Matriarchy.’ So it’s not an appeal to fairness or decency, then, just a power move. Good to know.
JUST BECAUSE COLIN KAEPERNICK IS A POSTURING FOOL DOESN’T MEAN THERE ISN’T A PROBLEM WITH POLICE ACCOUNTABILITY: “Cleveland police officer: I shot suspect, killing him, after he declined to get out of car, reached for gun. Witnesses: The suspect was kneeling on the ground with his hands up when the officer shot him in the back of the head. Jury: Excessive force. District court: Pay $4 mil. Sixth Circuit: Affirmed. (The officer is still on the force.)”

YOUR DAILY TREACHER: Hillary Clinton Could Still Become President, According to Sci-Fi Fans at Newsweek. “But she’d have to travel to an alternate universe where people actually like her.”
There may be an infinite number of possible universes throughout the multiverse, but I’m not certain that’s one of them.
SHOCKER: New research seems to show adverse consequences from allowing collective bargaining for teachers and cops. “What are the long-run consequences of allowing public sector unions to engage in collective bargaining? Less accountability and poorer performance according to some recent studies.”

NO, THE U.S. DID NOT SPEND $43 MILLION ON A GAS STATION IN AFGHANISTAN: An audit shows a scandal touted by media didn’t happen.
THE VICTORY GIRLS: #MeToo playing as Revenge of the Disappointed. “Here’s a large clue-bat, if you don’t want sex on the first date, don’t go back to the guy’s apartment, get naked, and engage in fellatio. Grace should type that out and put it on her refrigerator for the next time she starts ‘catch[ing] eyes every now and then’ with a celebrity across the party room.”
HEY, IF THE DNC-MSM CAN REHAB DAN RATHER, WHY NOT KATIE? Katie Couric’s Return to Broadcasting Proves that Lying Is Okay If You’re Lying About the Right Thing:
I want to believe this one-off appearance for the Olympics is the last time we’ll see Couric, but that would make little sense. To me, this feels like more of a trial run to see how well she’s received by the public. I refuse to believe they couldn’t find anyone else to report on the Olympics. Someone with a much cleaner record.
Either way, it would appear journalistic integrity means little to the mainstream media. If you touch a woman inappropriately you’re gone — at least that’s how it is now that it’s a hot issue — but flat out lie about innocent people in order to push your agenda, and you’re still camera-worthy.
Just think of the media as Democratic party operatives with bylines, and it all makes sense.
