At a time when turning on the news is guaranteed to be triggering, I come here to be informed 😬 but still keep hopeful🫣. Thank you for all you do, Joyce. I hope you realize how valuable you are to those of us who are feeling really scared about the future. 🥰

Turning on the news has been super depressing, as the members of the media, even on “respectable” news shows (Meet the Press, Face the Nation), are not pushing back on mis and disinformation - and not calling out their guests’ spewing lies (Johnson and Stefanik). Disgusting!

I did not like that either especially on Meet the Press. Stefanic and Johnson were outrageously irresponsible in their rhetoric. Pure lies and the moderator seemed so sensationalistic and emotional. The bright spot was Liz Chaney on Face the Nation who called out their lies.

Meet the Press. What a waste.

Harvard strikes back again - on both sides of that conversation. Mendacity all around.

Why, pray tell, does a "Harvard" graduate garner more stature than, let's say, a Michigan Graduate? Does graduating at the bottom of one's Harvard class mean more than graduating with honors from Michigan? I could be alone in this, but I DON'T THINK SO.

Sorry Joyce. I was keeping with the spirit of your loss to Barb McQuade.

Yes Frankom, a total waste. I was disgusted.

Leave it to Liz. No coward she. Stefanic and Johnson are deliberate liars, who want their agenda no matter what, even if it ruins the country. They are without conscience.

I stopped calling those programs (and others like them) "news" decades ago. They are not and never have been. They are opinion showcases for both presenters and "guests". Not news, even in MSM territory.

For that exact reason, I stopped tv access in my home 10 years ago. All of my access comes through the web and from trusted sources like Joyce White Vance and Heather Cox Richardson. A few trusted reports and providers. Yes, thank you Joyce.
