January 6th: The Coup That Wasn't is the Reminder We Need

We're hearing increasing screams of partisanship after the events of January 6th which is both predictable and a serious shame. 

Messy Times is not going to be one more voice saying the obvious things about how bad this was or how good this was, depending on one's "news source" drug of choice. (Recorded the day after the Capital ruckus, we were as yet unaware of the death of Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick who subsequently died of his wounds.)

Ignore the noise. Pay attention to who thinks they will benefit from greater discord and hatred of your fellow Americans.

Now more than ever, if you want "the news" to START reporting objectively only fact-based accounts, and not 24/7 editorializing, vote with your fingers on the button. If EVERYONE turned off every channel every time the teeth-whitened teleprompter chatterers veered into opinion, the same market forces that currently profit from outrage will be forced to change their programming.

It's up to you. We can point it out, but the market force demanding change is you.
