The world has changed during this most recent generation. It’s my third generation here on this planet, and more accurately, these United States of America. I graduated with a Master’s Degree in Journalism at a Texas university almost 40 years ago. Everything I learned, debated, and believed down to my core has been tossed on the dung heap of history by most of the main stream, corporate media empires. What happened to serious journalism that sought to tell the truth, and not the one-sided, dogma driven, hypocritical bile paid for by corporate, media and political elites? It’s been destroyed by big egos, big money, hypocrits, political hacks and pervs that belong in the porn industry and not in journalism.
Most of what I see on television, in newsprint, or on my computer or smart phone stinks of fake news, falsehoods and filth brandished by skunks posing as reporters, commentators, media personalities and political pundits with diminishing credibility and unethical behavior. The only way I can express my outrage to a wider audience outside my limited sphere of influence is through this little ole blog. And I hope to do so with a little bit of humor and old fashioned common sense hammered into my psyche by my parents and grand parents.
As you may have guessed, my purpose for this blog is to call out and highlight the stench, the stink, and all of the nasty smells permeating through the media, but also through all other walks of life that impact each one of us, including politics, the industries of entertainment, education, science, and healthcare, and anywhere else I see fit within the broader context of our culture.
With the skunk as my mascot, I have no idea where this endeavor will take me, but thanks for dropping by. I hope you feel it’s a worthy endeavor you choose to return to once-in-a-while. Let the journey begin.
