Why does the press constantly think anyone can make that self-appointed king do anything much less stop lying? It's pathological. Read up on all Cluster-B personalities especially anti-socials becoming Axis 1 psychopaths. This is a very sick creature who will continue to decline.

Because there is a massive gap between the theory and execution of impartial reporting

Do you believe there can be impartial reporting? Are we not as humans by default bringing in a bias, changing the anthropological behavior the moment individual morality comes into play? I truly don't know but suspect we are just not that compartmentalized generally speaking.

What I do believe, at the moment, is this: We live in an era where many white people are learning which parts of the historical narrative they have missed. This requires reassessment, primarily of which subjects have been incorrectly or disproportionately feared or favored.

That is, I believe it’s possible to reflect a more honest, holistic, and accurate understanding of the world. It is also possible to do this with both precision and speed. Many experienced, educated people can do this — and they are not in the elite white jorno / punditry club.

Final thought: separately, when trying to explain how we got here, journalists have retold historical narratives without always reflecting the full spectrum of what is known today. Hence, these limited, near-ahistorical perspectives bias analysis and discussion in the present.

Yes! Very true, and have gone by a very biased Canon largely based on English and Spanish law. We don't iterate progressively and scientific as well as social evolution has pretty much been vilified now. I admire parents raising kids these days. Wshew!

It has to be really hard for parents and kids alike. I do think the kids are alright, though I also think they’ll wonder, maybe like many of us already do, why their slightly older peers dropped the ball so hard — or they’ll just be neo-Nazis? The divergence there is pretty scary

Truly a never ending cycle, after every horror we are reminded "Never Forget!" And here we are. Same wars, same enemies. My father served in Korea, my husband in Vietnam, and it's still all about Russia and China and USA.. Children need street surgery skills more than math now!
