Hi Steve. I just read your letter to Jen. I found it to be absolutely spot-on. Great work, and your insights into the real reasons that Trump appeals to so many could not possibly be more accurate. The American media is disgusting. As I have written about in my own blogs, there never was a Golden Age — not in America, nor anywhere else. But (I am an older man now) I do recall — just an an example — guys on the evening news such as Walter Cronkite, Huntley and Brinkley, Roger Mudd, etc. — As I think of them, I seem to recall that they possessed dignity, eloquence, and integrity. Cronkite’s heartbreaking delivery to the American people of the news of JFK’s assassination was authentic, from the soul. Now, I believe, even a moment like that would be somehow choreographed. We have descended into tabloid, junk, fly-on-the-wall ‘journalism’ even at the so-called highest level. The New York Times is not worth reading, nor is the Washington Post. I live in Bulgaria now, but I still check the news on AOL, mostly just to catch a glimpse at what’s going on in the Good Ole’ USA and to find out the football scores. AOL news (Huffington Post, etc.) is the worst FUCKERY of a news source you could possible imagine. And the trolls who comment are just as malodorous and vomit-provoking. Furthermore, the massive media attempt to destroy Trump is precisely what (I ardently hope) will get him re-elected next time. And then who will the Libs blame? Again the Russians? BTW, I am a guy with a long liberal past, and I haven’t lost my mind or started hating the world. Same man, same brain. But I see clearly now that the radical Left is just as full of fascist-style idiots as the rednecks on the extreme Right have always been. One is as bad as the other. University campuses in America, which used to be sanctuaries for reasonable, idealistic people with a variety of ideas and beliefs, have now degenerated into Bolshevik-style bastions of Political Correctness where students ARRIVE on campus with their inflexible world-view already cemented in their static minds. I have always tried, done my best, to be FREE. Free from rednecks. Free of PC-ers. And goddammit, I intend to stay exactly that way. When I read stuff like you wrote, I feel better. Big thanks, man.
