Today's rant: anal-ists

I think "senior analysts" and "senior correspondents" should be illegal news media.  This is not a freedom of press 1st Amendment issue.  Simply put, analysts and correspondents are not members of the press, so there is no freedom withheld by making them illegal.  They are paid for opinions.  That's not news.  It's not.  It's not news.  Are you hearing me, Fox?  CNN?  MSNBC?  Professional opinions are not news.

I think Biden needs to go back to whispering in the microphone when he is making a simple point to his political rivals.  I love that.  It's like he's talking down to children when they fuck up.  "I told you... this what was going to happen.  You didn't listen to me.  Now you twisted your ankle while walking up the front stairs to a building you were protesting in your stupid fake camo and Camp Auschwitz t-shirt.  Go get an ice pack, go to your room, change into some decent clothes, and I'll check up on you in a bit."  I want him to do the same to the anti-vaxxers.  "You know... I was going to open everything back up again.  All you had to do... was get your shot... like your sister did.   You had 5 months.  Now you're sick.  Now you can't go out.  And if you try, you're going to have to show proof you did what you were supposed to do."
