I am headed out again today, so will blessedly be relieved of the strain of reading the woeful Strib everyday. A few days have accumulated, and you won’t be surprised that this ever-shrinking paper is still pounding the same themes on behalf of the Dem party. The paper continues to basically ignore the immense damage being done to Minnesota and Minneapolis by the actions of our political leaders in encouraging, even funding, far-left, radical, Dem extremists to interfere with legitimate federal law enforcement efforts and commit violence. No business wants to be here, no one wants to visit, hard-working Minnesotans want to leave. And the Strib prints a story on MLK day saying that Minneapolis is a beacon of hope. Only for criminal illegal immigrants and fraudsters. The spiral downward will continue.
And the Strib does its part by demonizing law enforcement and lionizing violent protesters, who among other things, have invaded a church during services. Meanwhile, the paper uses this as an excuse to avoid the obvious massive fallout from all the fraud Minnesota has suffered in its government programs. We should expect any day now to learn that the budget deficit is far higher than earlier projected. The Strib doesn’t care because all this occurred on Dem’s watch and the Strib’s mission is the protection and advancement of Dems.
Of course, there is the usual negative slant on everything Trump does, particularly foreign policy items like Greenland. Now I think Trump is often his worst enemy and says dumb things, but he usually has a plan. And the plan on Greenland appears to have played out as he wished. But a top-story on the front page saying Trump is bringing US imperialism to Europe is just bullshit. Aside from the Greenland issue, which is resolved to all party’s satisfaction, Trump has given Europe a much-needed wake-up call about their failure to be prepared to defend their countries against Russia, to defend their economies against China and to defend their societies and cultures against the totalitarian jibberish advanced by the massive immigration they have allowed from Muslim countries.
One thing many readers like is sports news. The decline of the Strib is reflected in the fact that this section is now four measly pages long, with almost no coverage of local college and high school sports. I can’t imagine the paper will exist for much longer, and while I will miss the comics (the real comics, not the stuff in the front news sections) it will end the grave disservice the paper does to Minnesotans by not doing objective journalism.
