“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert”. - J Robert Oppenheimer.

Things I love, Things I loathe, A little of this and A little of that.
Been wondering recently if the press is just making shit up.
Not that they have habit of doing that or anything. 😉
Still, if the press are indeed making shit up, embellishing, exaggerating, hyping, flat out lying or maybe even just making honest mistakes, why no correction(s) or clarification(s) from the White House and/or other officials? Dare I venture that it plays into their hand/steers into their wheelhouse?
If it does turn out that the press or any MSM media sources are being dishonest or misleading, why are they not being censured or censored by social media, and even more interestingly, why aren’t the media companies cutting their competition’s throats when they fuck up. Perhaps their all too busy toeing the same line and chasing advertisers? Instead of a media bloodbath, it’s a media boon?
/shrug
To be fair, lots of “people of power” seem to be playing quite fast and loose with “the rules”. Could be that they’ve spent so much time with their heads in the clouds and done so much yanking and banking so fast on the social stick that their gyros have tumbled, they’ve completely lost their bearings and they’ve no idea what’s up or down or which direction the societal plane is headed. No idea what to do or how.
Something like that. lolz
Pretty sure that the democratic wheels are supposed to turn slowly. Yeah, business may move fast or want to move fast, but government, and especially a democratic one? Nah.

Speaking of being lost, not knowing what you are doing, things being counterintuitive and/or knowledge not being understanding…was just starting to watch a Rick Beato video when I paused watching to make the comment above.
After I made the comment, returned to the video, and it’s quite syncy. (I think so anyway) /shrug

Can’t always think of everything I guess.
Senator Clinton Anderson : Colonel, what caused the fire? I’m not talking about wires and oxygen. It seems that some people think that NASA pressured North American to meet unrealistic and arbitrary deadlines and that in turn North American allowed safety to be compromised.
Frank Borman : I won’t deny there’s been pressure to meet deadlines, but safety has never been intentionally compromised.
Senator Clinton Anderson : Then what caused the fire?
Frank Borman : A failure of imagination. We’ve always known there was the possibility of fire in a spacecraft. But the fear was that it would happen in space, when you’re 180 miles from terra firma and the nearest fire station. That was the worry. No one ever imagined it could happen on the ground. If anyone had thought of it, the test would’ve been classified as hazardous. But it wasn’t. We just didn’t think of it. Now who’s fault is that? Well, it’s North American’s fault. It’s NASA’s fault. It’s the fault of every person who ever worked on Apollo. It’s my fault. I didn’t think the test was hazardous. No one did. I wish to God we had.
