...What I find unbelievable is the bullying in traditional media. I think there are some traditional media outlets that are getting ruined by this administration - and ruined by their own deeds. There are certain networks and newspapers that are very clear on who they are and what they feel. And that's fine. If you put yourself out as somebody who supports Trump or, like MSNBC is against Trump, at least you get it. You know what you're getting.
But when you pretend like you are objective, but you're not, and you are angry and you are trying to kill and bully, I think that is killing and I don't think they know it yet. But I think some of the trusted names in news are not trusted anymore because of this.

Does California’s non-discrimination law on sexual orientation override a Catholic hospital’s freedom of religious expression? A new lawsuit from the ACLU claims yes, filed on behalf of a patient denied an elective hysterectomy as part of a surgical transition from female to male.

Yale grad students stage hunger strike and demand better union benefits.

"Yale doctoral students currently earn a stipend $30,000 a year, receive free health care, and have their $40,000 tuition paid in full"

But they reserve the right to eat because it's all symbolic and stuff.

I'm mistrustful of the data collection and sample size, but interesting if it is reflective of the larger population.

I was assured that the science was settled!

In another blow against decades of accepted medical wisdom, one of the most prestigious, long-running studies reports that lowering sodium intake doesn’t reduce blood pressure.
The study also implies that most Americans are consuming a perfectly healthy amount of salt, the main source of sodium. But those who are salt-sensitive, about 20 to 25 percent of the population, still need to restrict salt intake.

Oh, look: drug use goes up, so do car crashes.

Shouldn't be a surprise. Will be justified so people can get high.

On 4/24/17 I posted this comment:

"Bleating about what a bad man Saddam was exposes you for what you are. Bobby Mugabe is still rolling merrily along, but he doesn't have anything we want. Money makes liars out of all of us."

It was a careless and deeply offensive thing to say. I regret that choice of words and I apologize to our commenters and to our hostess.

"Oh, look: drug use goes up, so do car crashes."

Alcohol is a helluva drug, that's for sure.

Odd they don't say WHICH drugs are causing crashes.
