“Over time, the real goal of any institution becomes ensuring its own survival.”

Corporate media only starts to make sense once you realize its primary function is to speak power to truth.

Yesterday's No Kings protests were apparently the largest since the first Earth Day in 1970

The NYT covered that story with a six column headline across the top of the paper and two full pages inside

Today, two small pics below the fold and a story on page A23

And so, it was that the Frog, champion of the People ascended in the hearts and minds of everyday folk, a true American amphibian apotheosis, thousands of years they will find a statue and think this must be an old god, a hero of myth and legend, and it will not be far from the truth.
