Mob Rule Matters

"Think like we do, or else shut up!"

Things are getting scarier in America every day, and I don't mean because cops are roaming around killing black people with abandon. First of all, they aren't, although nobody can deny the existence of plenty of wacko cops patrolling our big cities with hatred in their hearts for people of color. That's a given, and it must be rectified soon.

But something equally scary is how the media no longer even pretends to be fair and balanced, leaving us to glean truth from the droppings of our friends and the crumbs we get from the few remaining reputable reporters out there (like Bret Baier, Brit Hume and Juan Williams, all on Fox News by the way).

As for the media giants, they're so over, it's heartbreaking. Newspaper bigwigs are quitting for minor infractions that upset the snowflakes working in the trenches. By now we all know about the New York Times editorial page editor who resigned amid staff protests concerning a published opinion piece by a Republican senator registering his agreement with President Trump. (Good Golly Miss Molly, we can't have that!)

Now we learn that the long-time editor of the Philadelphia Enquirer was pushed out because he allowed the headline, "Buildings Matter, Too." It ran above an article by an architecture critic who worried that buildings damaged by the recent racial unrest could leave a gaping hole in the heart of the city. The staff freaked out, saying it diminished the importance of the BLM movement. That editor didn't last even a week.

This is of course sick. Lots of things matter; for example, my cat. He matters a lot -- to me. Ditto my son and my husband and all my friends and even people I don't know who might not even be black. But most of all, Mob Rule Matters. It foretells the end of life as we have known it in this country. Say goodbye to it now, and weep with me.
