When This Blows Over

Dallas15m ago
It's like crying wolf, but worse.
The article fails to correctly address WHY there's a 'deepening
bond' with Trump voters and in doing so exposes her own bias.
It's not about being "numb to outrage" in the sense that the
author describes (that the outrage is true), it's about being
numb to repeatedly hearing an outrage, investigating its
validity, and repeatedly discovering that the outrage of the
day is based on a lie.
Take the migrant crisis, for example. A little research (god forbid
'respected reporters' have to do such a thing) by 'us rank amateurs'
reveals that the separations were (1) a result of the Wilberforce Act
(2008), (2) Flores vs. Reno (as in Janet Reno, Clinton's AG), (3) that
Obama not only supported the policy, he expressly advocated it as a
way to punish and "discourage" law breaking/abuses by the
immigrants (the rationales of (1) and (2) were to stop sex
trafficking/child slavery). Once you learn the facts, while you may be
outraged, you wonder why the heck it's directed at Trump (other than the
obvious answer -- which is the media hates him (HATES!) him).
So a 2 year old crying is a tragedy? This is the standard? I've
raised six kids and have a 2-year-old grandson. Believe me,
2-year-old kids will cry over dropping a potato chip on the
floor and the dog eating it before they can pick it up. TIME
MAGAZINE is a bad joke.
