I would say that the reports of the demise of Kim Jung Un are...premature.

21st century journalism.

Headline: Kentucky sees highest spike in coronavirus cases after lockdown protests.

Article: “It’s unclear whether the protests had any impact on the surge of deaths reported Sunday in the state.”

Since the protests were Sunday, and the deaths were reported Sunday, it isn’t actually “unclear.” It’s clear that the protests couldn’t have contributed to the deaths. The headline is just another blood libel.

Sadly, Un may be the best hope for stability on the Korean peninsular.

"Blood libel" is twat language.

See also, "fake news." Reliance on trite 'n trendy coinages discourages further consideration of the matters at hand.

When a surf-moistened teenager "shreds some gnarl," it's charming. When an adult cheapens language for more serious matters, it ain't cute.

Exactly what I was thinking, Crid.

It never ceases to amaze me how professional writers, especially (aside from tabloid writers), fail to realize that the minute you start using recent political slang or labels in your writing, you are preaching to the choir and worsening the political divide. What ever happened to RESTRAINING oneself? Like an adult?

As a headline for a Miss Manners op-ed (not a column) once said: "Attack Ideas, Not People."

Or, persuasion is better than force.

Anybody know whatever became of Disgusted silent reader at March 26, 2020 9:25 AM?

Meanwhile, here's something to think about. (Note further explication in his subsequent tweets.)

Here's the op-ed:

Apologies: 'Disgusted Silent Reader' is here.

Crid, that "March 26" link doesn't work.

Ok, got it.

XiNN doesn't seem to realize - or has memory-holed - that Fredo Smollet:

He got in an altercation with a cyclist who called him out for violating his quarantine roughly a week ago. And here is CNN saying he has been riding out his quarantine in "his basement" for "the last several weeks."

I hate the term fake news. But this is literally *fake* news.

You're right. It isn't "fake news". It's weapons grade gaslighing. Who you going to believe, us or your lying eyes?

Ah, the Kim Jong Un story in one tweet:

In which case, I have to ask: what took so long?

Well, it's a second edition, so it can't be as dangerous to the user as The Anarchist's Cookbook.

Watching all those people cheering about this report makes me think that this disease should infect even more individuals.

Ironically, the original was updated in the 1950s by a Native American artist, Patrick DesJarlait of the Ojibwe tribe, who designed it to celebrate his culture. He also designed the Hamm's Beer bear.
