On the upside, now that he's out of work Roy Moore is looking forward to spending some quality time with someone's children.
First-year students at the Purdue School of Veterinarian Medicine were attending their first anatomy class with a real dead cow. They all gathered around the surgery table with the body covered with a white sheet.
The professor started the class by telling them, "In Veterinary medicine it is necessary to have two important qualities as a doctor. The first is that you not be disgusted by anything involving an animal's body." For an example, the professor pulled back the sheet, stuck his finger into the butt of the cow, withdrew it, and stuck his finger in his mouth. "Go ahead and do the same thing," he told his students.
The students freaked out, hesitated for several minutes, but eventually took turns sticking a finger in the butt of the dead cow and, sucked on it.......followed by assorted gagging, retching and spitting, etc.
When everyone had finished wiping their faces, the Professor looked at them and said, "The second most important quality is observation. I stuck in my middle finger and sucked on my index finger. Now learn to pay attention. Life is tough but it's even tougher if you're stupid."

To get to the point made in the original post, I have often commented on the 'outrage of the day'. A bus crash in lower buttsville, a flood in some place halfway around the world that you've never heard of, there's no end to the things that you are supposed to be outraged by.
And the point of the media, all media, is to get ratings so that ad revenue grows.

I don't but it is obvious that you consume right wingnut news... FOX perhaps, or the Rebel.
I was trying to save you the embarrassment of admitting that it flabbergasts you that the news moves on from old stories to new stories.
Really?
Your thought on Seth Rich.
This is the real result of this crap about fake news that the orange pig started.

Shameful.
Actually, it does, but only when the story has not been fully explored, and I'm not embarrassed by it. Although, I am somewhat disillusioned, especially when a news item is being released by a political entity and timed perfectly so that they (the political entity) will not be available to face scrutiny or tough questions.
I will say, wading through the nonsense in this thread and the overall state of this forum without moderation is pretty flabbergasting.
Nope there is, but the integrity of news agencies and good reportage is definitely eroding.
