Enough with the claims of objectivity. Ad placement above attack stories for the ad buyer's opponent are commonplace in today's crusading media climate. The New York Times will occasionally post a hazily negative story on Hillary but they're soft, sweet, and supportive of her 95% of the time. The rare conservative columnists pretend to be surprised. Ubiquitous liberal media outlets scoff at the notion, claiming only that candidate Donald Trump received excessive coverage because he is an interesting story. Blogger, please. As for expanding media ineptitude, look in any direction. The erosion of the business model continues as consumers self-publish their own skewed "news." Allegedly? I viewed the tape.

Oh Nole you didn’t!
The University of Louisville Cardinals football team blasted #2 ranked Florida State in one of Louisville's biggest victories ever. It will move the #10 Cardinals closer to the top of the rankings and solidifies its presence as an ACC football power. The new AP Poll bounced Louisville up to #3 behind Alabama and Ohio State. Watch the entire game in 25 minutes (two videos). Now Louisville is part of the national championship playoff conversation. Special helmet stickers honored Louisville's beloved son Muhammad Ali, who passed away in June. Our family was in Cardinal heaven. UofL dominated the entire game. ESPN's College GameDay show originated from the game. Students lined up starting at 4 am for the nine o'clock show. It
Best co-pilot ever
Lots of people will cite the phrase GOD IS MY CO-PILOT but in this case, lots of brilliant engineers get some credit! The video shows the incredible avionics view of an Arizona Air National Guard F-16 recovering itself by autopilot after the pilot loses consciousness. Thank you, technology! And then there is the matter of inept air race takeoff rolls:
Ruh roh! Call the Scooby Van!
ALTERNATE HEADLINE: pneumonia-stricken grandmother breathes on random child A gaggle of reporters two hours after Hillary Clinton stumbled and fainted even as her aides held her arms: "Mrs. Clinton, what happened?" Hillary: "It's a great day in New York!" The muted response out of rival Donald Trump: "I hope she gets well soon." We all know Hillary Clinton fell and hit her head in 2012, leaving a host of complications that her doctors claimed have all cleared. She's healthy, they tell us. Internet sleuths are trying to foist the notion that presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is a puppet being dragged around by nefarious "handlers" directed by a higher order. Whatevs. Hillary clearly has some medical issues. Her staggering, weak-kneed faint while
Rated PG: We are a team, right?
Some people believe in selective segregation. There are times when they want to be fully vested Americans afforded all of its freedoms, and times when they want to be considered a special separate class that demands nuanced, preferential considerations. See: white supremacists, militant feminist causes, the Congressional Black Caucus, anti-government groups, and many more. That Latin phrase on currency reads: e pluribus unum -- from many, one (unless there is an advantage to boost just a portion of the pluribus, then to hell with the one). If anyone complains about a selective segregationist attitude, they are usually met with a flurry of outrage from SJW, self-proclaimed pure hearted Social Justice Warriors. (The very people who claim they "don't judge people"
