I watched a full half hour of national news on tv tonight (ABC). It confirmed for me why I do not watch such news regularly. The commentators spent a full ten minutes on Trump and the Republicans (for at least the fifth or sixth time) but did not even mention that Bernie Sanders drew 28,000 cheering supporters to a campaign event in Portland last night. They mentioned two pro athletes who died recently but failed to mention the death of Dr. Frances Kelsey who, as an FDA official, singlehandedly stood up to drug manufacturer Merrell to take thalidomide off the market. And they gave the impression that the enormous toxic mess that is polluting the Animas, San Juan, and Colorado Rivers was created by the EPA. But they failed to mention the long-gone corporate criminals whose greed for gold left a huge, unstable, toxic lake of waste whose unstable dam the EPA investigators inadvertently breached.
