Today's the birthday of Martin Luther King, so I'm centering him.
Monday is the official observance and I'm disregarding other events that day in favor of looking for counter programming about centering Black people. I'll probably find them on Spoutible.
And there's a new online publication, a consortium of journalists, The Contrarian. I've joined. I'd rather have their unbought take on the news, and starve the MSM.
MSM, incidentally, are now running news about how well Biden did, how great the standing of the US, how well the economy has recovered, everything they ignored for four years. They must have noticed the hemorrhage of subscribers and clicks after their election "coverage". Bit late now though.
But comic relief today is Philomena Cunk, wonderful YouTube channel in her downright northern voice and stage name. The premise is that notable experts in their fields interview with her, as she puts the sort of question a smart five year old might. Every parent has met these almost unanswerable questions.
And some experts get in knots struggling with it, while others with less personal vanity, can handle it. People at the top of their field are likely to say, well, that's interesting, I don't know but I'll think about it. Then there are the academics who can not bear to say I don't know, and go down blustering! Meanwhile you can learn a lot.
Today cold, windy and sunny and I made it around the short block. Yay me.
Happy day, everyone!
When I read the title 'The Contrarian' I immediately thought that their news might be contrary to the norm. Rather a good choice of title if that's the case.
ReplyDeleteExactly. It's contrary to the rubbish MSM has been publishing for years.
