I am increasingly frustrated by the double-standard that the right-wing embraces. Talkshows, newscasts and websites that show little regard for fact and delight in stirring the most base instincts in us–fear, greed and hatred. parade as journalism. One of the basic tenets of public relations is that repetition constitutes validity…the right-wing has been exceptional at this. It is time to call out lies.

A member of our Congress, Gabrielle Giffords, has been struck down by an unstable right-winger with a gun. A judge and a nine-year-old girl are dead.

I am disgusted. It is time to give sanity, tolerance and common sense some air.

My thoughts and prayers are with the fallen and their families.

There is no news in this blog, but I am writing it to add my voice to those who oppose the hijacking of civil society.
