I was watching the NBC National news last night and i wanted to throw my phone at the TV.

The story was on the Voting laws in Texas. They spelled out what the rules are:
- added 2 days to early voting (16 days now) that would include 2 weekends
- extended voting by an hour each day (until 8 at night)
- they have restricted drop boxes (but have added areas to go vote)
- you must verify your identity mail in or in person

So above was the first part of the story:


Then they interview a Dem Mayor (I forget what city).... Basically he states that these "rules" are racist and make it harder for people of color to vote. Does the reporter ask exactly how these rules do that- No she does not. Just shakes her head and says uh-huh... It's racist - period - end of reason.



Then NBC plays a quick fluff piece on a single mom who said she can't vote now.... No reason, just she can't now.

Unless she is working 8a-8p 7 days a week she can vote.

Journalism is dead

They are propaganda outlets.... pure and simple, and they are dying because of that.

Growing up in the 90s, I remember journalists hounding Bush Sr on everything he said. But when Clinton got elected they got incredibly lazy, never questioning anything. I saw it bleed over a bit into the Bush Jr presidency for a bit but after 2002 they started picking up again. And then there was Barack "Sort of a God" Obama. At that point they were lost, never questioning anything the man said (outside of Fox News). During Trump they just made up whatever they wanted and ran with it, and now... well you see the results.

You don't ask your heroes hard questions.

They'll find ways for anyone who won't vote to vote, they'll find ways for anyone who can't vote to vote.
