The Durham Report

I’m just posting this here for my friends and relatives on the left of the political spectrum. Those who watch only the Australian ABC, or the British BBC, or the American CNN. And the related press, like the New York Times, Washington Post, and Financial Times. 

I have discovered recently(ish) that there are very many such folks and that they don’t know a lot of things that have happened — consequential things — because said media simply do not report them.

The Durham Report is one such case. We had dinner the other night with a smart, cosmopolitan business mate of ours. Living here many years in Discovery Bay Hong Kong, who had no idea at all of the Durham Report. Nor, by the way, of other consequential things like the Mueller Report and even the Twitter Files, and the Hunter Biden Laptop saga.

Jimmy Dore is himself a Leftie — a Bernie Sanders leftie, what’s more — and describes himself as a “stoner comedian” — he does standup around the country. But he’s outraged at some of the nonsense going on, like the complete lack of coverage of truly important stuff. Like Durham.

I’ve been thinking I should frame this blog of mine, now nearly fifteen years old, as a public service to my many leftie friends and rellies. No need for them to watch horrid old Fox, or read horrid old New York Post. Just drop by here from time to time, as an Occasional Reader, to see a carefully curated takes on the issues du jour. As are not covered at all on CNN, or the rest.
