Media Half-Truths

I’ve become very concerned about the old-style news media’s handling of news. Network newscasts, The New York Times, The Washington Post, etc. have largely become propaganda rags (not so much because of what they say but because of what they omit). Their treatment of Donald Trump is particularly jarring because he tends to shoot from the hip and then explain why he makes outrageous statements. They simply leave off the explanation or neglect to put his words into context. Let’s take a look at some examples. Kanye West came with an unknown friend to visit Trump. He was seeking business counseling because his life was descending rapidly into the crapper. Trump counseled him over dinner. The press and the Jewish community then criticized him mercilessly for not condemning West and his friend as antisemitic racists.

Just name Dr. Elias ‘Lone Finalist’

Unless I’m missing something, now that PSJA ISD has terminated its contract with its former superintendent, Jorge Arredondo, and named Alejandro Elias as its interim supe, it doesn’t have to advertise the position. Instead, all the district has to do is name him as its “Lone Finalist” for the job, let it sit in the waiting dock for 21 days, and then execute a contract with him.
