People I have known include the widow of a journalist murdered a long time ago by the Shah's secret police and a woman whose estranged journalist husband experienced considerable persecution under various Pakistani regimes.

Trust me I'm glad the newsrooms of The Washington Post and The New York Times are crying all the time. Those morons should be grateful Trump made their fortunes and they should pray for his re-election if they want to afford them EVs the Biden Administration wants them to buy.

And in the interests of decency I must force myself to hope they never experience persecution for the profession they pretend to be part of.

Journalists in the West these days come from the finishing school crowd and they get their finishing in schools of journalism rather than dodging bullets. Quite the difference in life experience.

the communist way, one vote one time, kill, exile or imprison the opposition. We'll see the same in Mexico soon. Not that Mexico was ever anything other than a one party state.
