Post modernism is how many confuse facts for beliefs and truth as something subjective versus objective

On today’s show, we approach the news of the day through the prism of today’s post modernism. I chose to go this route because of the first story today and that is the resignation of Uri Berliner from NPR in the face of the attacks her received from NPR’s new CEO Katherine Maher. To show Berliner’s comments were right on the nose about NPR and the vast majority of the Legacy/mainstream media, we only have to look a handful of comments Maher made over the last year or so.

In an interview with the Atlantic Council, Maher says, as the CEO of Wikipedia, she “took a very active approach to disinformation” and coordinated her censorship efforts “through conversations with the government.” She literally says they had no idea about COVID19, yet somehow knew the only answers worth relaying had to come from Big Government.

In that same interview, she said her “number one challenge” in her fight against ‘disinformation’ is “the First Amendment in the United States.” She literally stated the Bill of Rights and freedom of speech were “a little bit tricky” when trying to censor information she believed to be incorrect or bad.

During a separate TED talk, Maher revels her post modernism philosophy – truth is subjective and the pursuit of truth can get in the way of getting things done. This is astonishing, but explains why the Legacy/mainstream media has long since abandoned journalistic integrity in favor of looking for a narrative that provides the actions they want people to take. They want to shape narratives in an effort to shape behavior. 

Next we move to a break news story from Real Clear Investigation’s Paul Sperry. In short, “the whistleblower who sparked Trump’s first impeachment was deeply involved in the political maneuverings behind Biden-family business schemes in Ukraine that Trump wanted probed, newly obtained emails from former Vice President Biden’s office reveal."

I meant to comment on something yesterday, but delayed until today’s show. Yes, the FBI has formally announced they are opening an investigation into the ship that hit the Francis Scott Key bridge. This does not mean it was a terrorist attack. This issue involves interstate commerce and would naturally fall to the FBI to investigate the determine what happened. Could it be a deliberate act? I already said on the day it happened, that I’m not ruling it out completely. I just don’t see any facts that align with such a conclusion.

As to other inconvenient facts, Leftists, since tax day, have been regurgitating the debunked lie that the Trump tax cuts only helped the top 1% of wage earners. It is a blatant lie and they know it is, but they present their argument in a way to fool most people. I remind everyone that even the New York Times in 2019 had to admit nearly everyone who paid income taxes benefited from the Trump Tax Cuts.
