First they scream that I'm killing grandma if I leave my house. Then they decide that there's no harm in getting together in a group of 1000 as long as it's to loot and riot. Then they complain that Trump is trying to kill them because of chair spacing at the White House.
I hate 90% of all journalists.

If we actually had any journalists I'd likely probably hate them too but all we have now are partisan hacks that I lovingly refer to as urinalists. I hate them as well.

You misspelled propagandists.

I thought the original way it was done was if you are distancing yourself, you don't need to wear the mask. But if you have to be closer, then you wear the mask and whatever else.

True.

For the most part the media are engaged in treason against the United States along with the career Democrats and neocon Republicans in the permanent government.
The deep state, the swamp, what do you call the better than half of the government bureaucracy that is consumed with loathing of Heritage America, wanting to destroy what little is left of the foundations of the Republic?
Most of them think they are right and that they are on the side of America.

An extinct species.
I recently sent off another e-mail to two of the senior people at what remains of the local newspaper around here. They ran a story on their web site to cover an event at which clergy of all the churches in an area town got together and had a lie-in to demonstrate their support for the fight against police brutality. Throughout the article the author used the word "lay" (in its various tenses) where he or she quite obviously intended to use the word "lie."
I think I sent off my e-mail two, possibly three, days ago. I haven't had any response yet from either of the two addressees. I don't expect them to reply -- I have written them before about similar such errors in their rag (and e-rag). They obviously don't care. Forty years ago a good friend was an investigative editor for that newspaper. Back then, they had editors, people who checked articles before they went to press to try to catch egregious errors. The current version of the newspaper is a shadow of its former self. I don't think there is any such thing as a copy editor any more. I'm pretty certain that most of the reporters never go to the office -- they work from home in their assigned town write their stories on a personal computer, submit them on-line and the stories go directly to print and the web site without ever being checked by anyone.
And they get very defensive when people like me point out the flaws in this arrangement.

One is their ideology, the other is their occupation.

They consider both a complement
