        Opinion journalists that are only trying to forward their personal dislike of an issue are! What happened to reporting the “FACTS” and then let people judge for themselves? It’s all BS now. Journalism is dead.

        Fake news IS the enemy of the people: the Free Press is the enemy of people who LIE.

        Feel feee to move to Cuba or Venezuela. If you hate capitalism so much move. Try out socialism and see if you like it.

        I live where I live and I’m going to talk about the world as I see it. If anybody has a problem with that then they can go and suck a duck.

        Capitalism is the reason why I am at work and carpenter working seven days a week in Berkshire County and cannot afford to buy a home myself and the only ones I can even look at our complete renovation jobs.

        Capitalism is extremely harmful to the people and to the ecology, the river nearby me the Housatonic River is forever poisoned with PCP is by Monsanto for their profits. That is capitalism.

        So you can take your love it or leave it theme and stuff it, because I love it and therefore I am not leaving it but I am working hard to diagnose this disease and to heal it. Capitalism is the disease.

        They rush triumphantly to de-platform their opponents, but when their own tails get stepped on, oh that sweet squeal about the "freedom of speech"! No compassion for the hypocrites, sorry.

        Journalists aren't the enemy. Media colluding to push a narrative and posing as journalists, are the enemy.
