Broken News: The Premise…
We all have the right to speak out, and in today’s world it is so very important that free speech remain the guiding light. “Everyman” and “Everywoman” have a right, if not a responsibility, to speak out. Now might be a good time to start.
Broken News: The Blog…
For your consideration, this column will appear on-line as a blog, every week; sometimes once sometimes twice, sometimes more. It really depends on what I have to say at any given time. And often… What you the reader have to say. Your comments will be addressed. Please understand that Brokennews.press represents the thoughts, ideas and commentary of someone who truly believes that integrity matters.
No brain surgery here. I’m just an average, everyday kinda guy. I’m neither an academic, nor an intellectual, and I have no insider connections. I am, however, a bit of a news/politics junkie and I make a point of reading, watching and listening to the events of the day, as they are presented by the numerous and various media which seem to rule our daily lives.
In doing so, I have often wondered why so many of the political pundits fail to ask the really tough questions. And when they do, or when they come close, they often get the “pat-answer- run-around-brush-off-two-step,” thereby falling appreciably short of the real answer to the original question. I think too many interviewers, regardless of the medium, fear losing access, and their efforts continually fall short of satisfying those of us with inquiring minds. I want that next, tough, often obvious question to be asked, and answered. And as for “access,” well, my gut tells me there is more to be gained through the courage of conviction. Ask the damn question! And get the answer…
At Brokennews.press your access is my access. I draw my conclusions from everyday sources while I continue making an effort to dig still deeper. Yes, there is a moderate-to- liberal bent in my opinions, but I assure you I am probably more like you than almost anyone on radio, television or in print. And regardless of my politics, I’m tired of being teased and/or misled by the various forms of Breaking News, and the over-dramatized ratings-generated, entertainment- slanted approach to the news, along with politicians of all parties who, more often than not, are given a pass when they don’t answer the question asked.
The bottom line…
So, it’s time we average folk take a stand and start questioning the news media, as well as the newsmakers. It is time to speak out… and that’s what you’ll get from me the majority of the time. On occasion, though, I’ll also write about issues or personal experiences near and dear to my heart. And as a reader, you are always welcome to comment, suggest or criticize… whatever. So please read on, and if there is a particular topic you’d like addressed, please feel free to make your suggestion heard, for I am listening.
Peace. I am Bob Danon, and integrity does matter…
