Instead of pulling us up, our elites, especially "journalists" are purposefully misinforming us to keep the bosses happy.<br />I'll check out your blog too! sounds like fun.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11762382.post-17295903463958810012013-07-24T11:16:26.680-06:002013-07-24T11:16:26.680-06:00I read Bubba's blog but I can't add anythi...I read Bubba's blog but I can't add anything to the posts so I don't click on the comments. The Journal doesn't add much to any debate. It feeds the rich and buries the poor. It puts the Republicans on the front page when it is something they think is going to advance their interests and buries the bad press in the newspaper if it mentions it at all. It prints popular headlines at the top of the fold (new baby to the royal couple, such and such movie is out, blonde cage fighter, etc) but does next to nothing to bring anything to the table. Most shocking to me was a full page ad with Kent Waltz as a speaker for a UNM health sciences grant issue. Color photo of "Got that Kent Waltz" included.

The need for the electorate to be informed and for there to be a watchdog over government.<br /><br />People have no problem with the government spying on them. The government starts wars it doesn't have money for, against people we have nothing against, assassinates US citizens with drones, takes money from working people and gives it to rich people, enables a system where the wealth our labor creates goes to someone else, and no one cares. They really don't want to hear about it. What is there for a newspaper to do?<br /><br />I write about this stuff all the time. A few people click on my web site but there are never any comments, so they probably don't bother to read it. People aren't interested in being informed. It's too much work, what with all that's on their plate already, entertaining themselves in the little free time they have leftover from trying to survive.<br /><br />Newspapers have outlived their usefulness.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11762382.post-30189552828534277982013-07-23T14:28:45.647-06:002013-07-23T14:28:45.647-06:00If you ask me, The Albuquerque Journal is already ...If you ask me, The Albuquerque Journal is already dead in the water. The editors just don't accept that they must adapt with the times. To do that, the owners need to replace "Got that, Kent Waltz" (compliments of Joe Monahan for that catchy phrase).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11762382.post-44600625412587349682013-07-23T11:44:26.076-06:002013-07-23T11:44:26.076-06:00Jim,
