I found the article Bernie Sanders’ anti-political correctness rant proves the left is learning the wrong lessons from Trump.

Cosigning Trump’s attack on political correctness validates the bigotry of his campaign.

What this article really proves is that the authors of articles like this are the ones learning the wrong lessons. They focus on what drives them away from Trump and they misjudge what attracts many people to Trump.

My response to a post by a pseudo-leftie exemplifies what I mean. His post ponted to the New York Daily News article KING: There’s a huge education level drop-off with the Trump cabinet picks.

Donald Trump will be the first President of the United States in 25 years to not have a graduate degree of any kind.

My response to my pseudo-leftie friend was the following:

And what did we get from the educated people that Obama appointed? Or the ones Bill Clinton appointed? What about the Best and the Brightest that David Halberstam wrote about giving us the Viet Nam mess?

And you wonder why the “least educated” scoff at your claims to a ‘superior education”?

Will the Democratic Party ever be willing to look itself in the mirror? I have seen no evidence, and you are certainly giving a fine display of lack of evidence here.

Now you see why I do not win friends and I do not influence people. What gets into me sometimes?

Naked Capitalism has the article NBC’s Denver Affiliate 9News Apologies on Air to Naked Capitalism.

Thanks so much to the speedy action of the members of the commentariat yesterday. We got an apology from NBC 9 News in Denver for a skit they had put up meant to educate readers about the evils of “fake news”. However, they made Naked Capitalism into an object lesson:

You may have to go to Denver, but apparently you can find a modicum of journalistic integrity in some isolated spots in America.

YouTube has the video RT Accounts from Aleppo Residents.

The fake news reports from Aleppo have been stirring emotions at the latest UN Security Council meeting, with diplomats echoing various claims. RT’s correspondent Lizzie Phelan in Aleppo gauged reaction from locals to the claims of genocide and massacres taking place in the city.

I have also found the RT story As thousands flee E. Aleppo, RT hears stories of those trapped there for years (VIDEO).

Mohamad has come from western Aleppo to pick up Ibrahim, his brother, who was trapped in Sheikh Sa’eed district.

“Four years ago he couldn’t escape, but I did. He was stuck there and thank God we are reunited now,” he tells our crew, meeting for the first time his two youngest nephews who were born in eastern Aleppo.

Oddly, this video shows the same type of buses that are being filled with people who sought refuge whereas they are shown by our press as leaving a pickup site completely empty.

<sarcasm>
Of course, these RT reports should be rejected out of hand because they are reported by a Russian news medium. We trust our news media to never lie to us. They and Colin Powell can’t help it that they believed the stories the government told them about the WMD in Iraq before they stampeded us into that war. Our media has at least learned from their mistakes, and is reporting all sides of the conflict in Syria including this one.

And we know that our media’s reports of the Russian hacking of our election is the God’s honest truth.
