Ocasio-Cortez Responds to Critics: People More Concerned With Being Factually Correct Than Morally Right

what they left out is this following sentence: "It’s absolutely important. And whenever I make a mistake, I say ‘Okay this was clumsy.’ And then I restate what my point was,” Ocasio-Cortez said.

If we think we can count on the media to help us we're wrong. They make their living off of the controversy. Not off reporting when things go well.

Direct, global communication can keep M$M at least semi-honest. The Internet does not need to be controlled by billionaires.

... many years before Andy Rooney retired.

By the time my kids were in high school my wife and I had pretty much abandoned all traditional television.

We have a DVD player and Netflix. My youngest kid, with a respectable film school education, set us up with Netflix.

I think television news and news type programming is worthless.

I read all my news, in the local pulp papers and on the internet.

Nobody in our family watches Velvita cheese televison news anymore but my born in the Great Depression dad and my mother-in-law, both whose long suffering spouses can't understand why they wouldn't rather be out gardening, surfing the internet, or actually body surfing or snorkeling in the Pacific Ocean.
