Other journalists, I recommend that to your attention. Playing nice with this administration will get you nothing but a dismissive wave. You might as well speak the truth.

"'Cause you do NOT want to deal with a wounded animal!"

Shades of MLK. Gave me chills.

The surreal pregame at tonight's Trump rally for Henry
McMaster in SC: Boos of @Acosta turn to requests for selfies

They get lied to constantly, ignored when convenient, and called enemies of the people when they push back to get some semblance of truth.

There are not enough of those like Jim who's pushing back hard.

Yesterday, I was driving through rural Oregon (Trump Country) and stopped at a truck stop for fuel and a burger. In the restaurant, I saw the typical big screen TV hanging on the wall with the talking heads. MUCH to my amazement, it was Nichole Wallace on MSNBC working the latest kids-in-jail story. Lots of folks watching.

There is hope if FOX NEWS has not poisoned every public screen.

Celebrate the small wins.😊

or store or bank or waiting room or car wash, COMPLAIN!!!

Use your voice! Speak up! Be polite about it but FOR PETE’S SAKE speak up! You’re a customer whose money and patronage they may lose if they ignore you.

SPEAK UP about it. Ask to have the channel changed. And if it’s some place where the remote is sitting on the counter or coffee table, change the channel yourself!

If you’re the only one there, great! If not, and you’re in a red area, switch it to sports or some cooking show. That way you don’t risk getting into confrontations, particularly if there are more men in the room than women. The sports option takes all that away.
