(12,249 posts)We need journalists to uncover these issues, follow the story, and help us discover the truth through fact. The state of MO is going to be really sorry for disrespecting their women.

(14,144 posts)This has gotten out of hand. Actually its not out of hand anymore, its yet another normalization of the bizzare. Its now a perfectly acceptable, albeit limited to Republican voters, that any criticism of one of their party's draconian policies, to turn on the news media just for the fact that they dare to even cover it.
