The UN is NOT to be trusted with children
Neither are TEACHERS! (See Hake News, End of Hour 2)
(CNN) The UN secretary-general says the world is facing a “generational catastrophe” because of the havoc Covid-19 is wreaking on education systems. As it stands, more than a billion students have been affected in some way by the pandemic, and that could mean long-term consequences for other critical issues like child marriage and gender equality. UN agencies are working with education partners on ways to prioritize school openings once local coronavirus outbreaks subside, including targeting education in relief funding and exploring new teaching methods.
In the US, new studies suggest frequent testing will be the key to keeping classrooms and college campuses safe. In the UK, the British government says it’s secured millions of rapid coronavirus tests that can detect the virus in about 90 minutes.
Something Good About a Black
Earl pretends I never say anything good about blacks.
Hat tip to the young man, the athlete, who refused to kneel for our National Anthem, but stood to show respect and character.
Another thing good about another black dude: Shoutout to ABL, Anthony Brian Logan, who often shouts out JLP and me. He’s quite sane.
George Floyd update
(Daily Mail on YouTube) EXCLUSIVE: Police bodycam footage shows moment-by-moment arrest of George Floyd for the first time
Listen to this Description: The terror on George Floyd's face as a rookie cop points a gun at his head while he sits in his car can be seen today for the first time.
DailyMail.com has exclusively obtained video from the bodycams of officers Thomas Lane and Alex Kueng, who were part of Floyd's fatal arrest on Memorial Day in Minneapolis. Floyd died after Officer Derek Chauvin kneeled on his neck for [NOT QUITE] nine minutes on May 25.
The tapes show in minute detail how Floyd begs 'Mr. Officer, please don't shoot me. Please man,' before the struggle that ended with his death. It also shows how Floyd resisted as the cops tried to force him into the back of the car, telling them he suffers from claustrophobia and anxiety.
The video begins with Lane knocking on Floyd's car window with a flashlight and once Floyd opens the door, Lane pulls out his gun and points it at Floyd's head. Floyd, 46, begs him not to shoot, saying: ''I'll look at you eye-to-eye. Please don't shoot me man. I just lost my mom, man'. [SOMEONE IN THE COMMENTS SAID HE THOUGHT HE LOST HIS MOTHER TWO YEARS EARLIER.]
He sobs as the officers pull him out of the car and handcuff him, as his ex suggests he was undergoing mental problems and was afraid of police.
After the struggle to get Floyd in the cop car, he is suddenly on the sidewalk with Chauvin's knee on his neck. Floyd says he can't breathe numerous times and calls for his 'momma' but his voice slowly gets weaker as his life drains away, even saying 'I'll probably just die this way'.
I didn’t even watch the video
Lazy! Trifling! It’s not as interesting a story to me as the Walter Scott case. Or maybe I’m just bored of these dumb cases.
It’s certainly not something to overreact to, or to try to extrapolate a larger societal issue other than the obvious: Blacks are out-of-control. And occasionally cops do stuff the lay person, or faint of heart, may find questionable or out-of-the-ordinary. Some people even call it “brutality,” which is an emotional attack on men and men’s work.
Very Fake News!
'Sobering' report shows hardening attitudes against media…
LOOK AT HOW THIS IS WRITTEN… (Drudge / Far-left AP) — The distrust many Americans feel toward the news media, caught up like much of the nation’s problems in the partisan divide, only seems to be getting worse.
That was the conclusion of a “sobering” study of attitudes toward the press conducted by Knight Foundation and Gallup and released Tuesday.
Nearly half of all Americans describe the news media as “very biased,” the survey found.
“That’s a bad thing for democracy,” said John Sands, director of learning and impact at the Knight Foundation. “Our concern is that when half of Americans have some sort of doubt about the veracity of the news they consume, it’s going to be impossible for our democracy to function.”
The study was conducted before the coronavirus lockdown and nationwide protests over the death of George Floyd.
Eight percent of respondents — the preponderance of them politically conservative — think that news media that they distrust are trying to ruin the country.
The study found that 71% of Republicans have a “very” or “somewhat” unfavorable opinion of the news media, while 22% of Democrats feel the same way. Switch it around, and 54% of Democrats have a very favorable view of the media, and only 13% of Republicans feel the same way.
That divide has been documented before but only seems to be deepening, particularly among conservatives, Sands said.
“We’re starting to see more retrenchment among those who have already expressed deep concerns,” he said. “Moving the dial on these attitudes becomes more and more difficult for media organizations.”
...President Donald Trump has constantly labeled journalism he doesn’t like “fake news.”...
Who is to blame?
Well, 48% of those questioned says the media bears a great deal of the responsibility.
The study found 73% of Americans feel that too much bias in news reports is a major problem, up from 65% two years ago.
Those surveyed also didn’t believe much in honest mistakes. When there were inaccuracies in articles, 54% of Americans said they believed reporters misrepresented facts, while 28% said reporters were making things up in their entirety.
The picture isn’t much prettier when you take a step back. Knight and Gallup said 41% of Americans have a great deal of confidence in the ability of the media to report the news fairly, down from 55% in a similar survey in 1999.
Eight in 10 Americans are calling for more diversity in news. Democrats and Black people are more likely to be referring to racial and ethnic diversity; while Republicans and white people prioritize diversity in political views.
LISTEN TO THIS: In a clear message to Facebook and Twitter, nearly three-quarters of those surveyed said social media companies have to work harder to remove hateful language and inaccuracies from their platforms.
I say: FORGET YOU, evil sleazy AP! I want to see a copy of the question from which they found that last sentence. And why is “hateful language” lumped in with “inaccuracies”?
TDS and family failure
THE CONWAY SHOW: George says Trump's name should live in infamy…
(Drudge / Mediaite) George Conway Torches Trump in a Wash. Post Op-Ed for Attempt to ‘Defraud His Way’ to Re-Election (because Trump’s been decrying the notion of mail-in voting, and floating a possible election delay). George wrote: ‘He Must Lose, and Lose Badly’
SMH this guy’s beside himself. He’s I think Filipino (JUST LIKE THE CANADIAN NHL PLAYER WHO KNEELED FOR THE U.S. ANTHEM!! FORGET THAT GUY! … IS THAT MEAN TO SAY?)
George Conway
Conway — husband to White House counselor Kellyanne Conway and co-founder of anti-Trump Republican group The Lincoln Project — says Trump’s recent comments were “a brazen effort to see if he can defraud his way into four more years in the White House,” continuing a pattern for the president to “swindle his way through life.”
He goes through a number of reasons the president’s credibility has plummeted and how he “stands on the verge of electoral oblivion” to say that Trump is trying to cheat and lie again:
Now he peddles a different lie: that somehow extensive “Mail-In Voting (not Absentee Voting, which is good)” would produce “the most INACCURATE & FRAUDULENT Election in history.” Hence the supposed need to “Delay the Election.”
All untrue, of course. Voting by mail has a long, venerable tradition in this country, most notably the election of 1864, when 150,000 Union soldiers sent in ballots that helped ensure President Abraham Lincoln’s reelection, the preservation of the union and the abolition of slavery. Mailed votes leave a paper trail that renders them less, not more, susceptible to fraud. The fraud is Trump’s: He’s lying so he can buy more time — or so he can delegitimize the vote and blame someone other than himself for his defeat.
Conway concludes by saying that what Trump’s doing means that he must be repudiated not just at the election (“he must lose, and lose badly”), but by history.
“There should be no schools, bridges or statues devoted to Trump. His name should live in infamy, and he should be remembered, if at all, for precisely what he was — not a president, but a blundering cheat,” he writes.
They share the link.
