Long ago, before Musk, I went to Twitter because America's journalists had begun to practice journalistic whoredom. I was trying to get the facts and make my own decisions. In America, that was how it used to work.
Imagine that.
As the platform grew and the majority of the MSM increased the casing of their own red-light district, a few actual journalists (some after being fired) moved to twitter and remained when it became X (a naming convention at which I still cringe). I now fear @X has reached a point where it is approaching a similar disaster.
Boy that didn't take long.
For some time, I've seen it coming and now with the Epstein cluster it has become front and center. Journalistic standards do matter, and the Epstein 'thing' is a perfect example as to why.
What does this tell us?
There are principles (laws actually) that cannot be changed, gravity for example. We accept that, most of us anyway. The earth is not flat. There are far more that believe this than you and I care to admit. And this illustrates the problem. If a majority, and I mean a large enough majority to really move the needle, do not make a conscious choice to act as statesmen in all of its facets, then you and I can kiss America goodbye. This is not a sensationalized statement. It's a fact.

Look in the mirror for God's sake.
