Challenge . . .

(More from http://www.concordmonitor.com/Azzi-Trump-media-coverage-U-S-politics-1979775.aspx)
". . . the press chose not to try to understand what was roiling the soul of an angry segment of our body politic. They chose instead to treat Trump as a celebrity and quickly realized they were all welcome to visit on his red carpet – as long as they didn’t soil his precious fabric. . . The Fourth Estate should insist: Donald Trump, prove that you opposed the Iraq War before it happened. Donald Trump, prove that you saw thousands of New Jersey Muslims celebrating 9/11 by dancing on rooftops. Donald Trump, prove that the unemployment rate may be as high as “42 percent.”  Donald Trump, prove that (America is) the most highly taxed nation in the world. Together we’ve all watched as the press became his Boswells, his Bob Woodwards, his stenographers, chroniclers of process than of content, more worshipful of celebrity than of truth. . . .The Fourth Estate, succumbing to its own parochial interests, has failed to deconstruct Trump’s narratives and lies, especially those that might possibly expose its complicity and coziness with power elites and celebrity. . . During 2015, out of 77 Trump statements checked by Pulitzer-Prize winning PolitiFact, 76 percent were rated Mostly False, False or Pants on Fire – a record unmatched by any other candidate. While knowledge is irrelevant to Trump, to Trump’s partisans – or to Trump supporters who hate Hillary Clinton more than they love America – such a candidate should be daily challenged by the press, which should deny him a platform until he fully submits to answering questions. Ignoring truth leads to constraints over what gets publicly discussed and challenged and jeopardizes the American public’s ability to make well-informed decisions about issues of national interest, policy and political leaders. . ."

Studies . . .

. . . which are sometimes better kept within the scientific community until they actually PROVE something . . .


(from http://wtkr.com/2016/07/03/butter-not-as-bad-as-you-thought-study-suggests/)
". . . The researchers collected data on butter consumption and health risks from nine previous studies that, in total, included 636,151 participants. The data were combined into a large meta-analysis, as the researchers examined exactly how butter consumption was associated with mortality, heart disease and diabetes. . .They noticed that each daily serving of butter in the data was associated with a 1% higher risk of death and a 4% lower risk of type 2 diabetes. (Previous research has shown a peculiar link between dairy fat and a decreased risk of diabetes.) . . . “We were slightly surprised by the diabetes result: Butter intake appeared to have a very moderate protective effect,” Pimpin said. “However, it is important to remember that this is based on very few studies, so it may not be a reliable result, and it shows that more studies are needed on the topic.”. . ."

Burning Grey. . .

. . . Oho working hard. . .

Do you mean you were just lying there?
Out of reach of anyone who cares
They have bound you with their loving arms
In the distance I still hear you sound the alarm

Can you see yourself more clearly now?
As if you stepped out of a cloud
Beginning when it seems to end
Above below merging

Your mind doesn't feel
Your fingers don't think
Your eyes do not touch
While the heartbeat goes skipping away

It's now and then you're living
While you wait start the giving
Prove it it's always there
Burning grey without its flare

Obligated but one hand is tied
Constant chattering within your mind
How to leave it no one cares
To hear the silly language spoken there

Your mind doesn't feel
Your fingers don't think
Your eyes do not touch
While the heartbeat goes skipping away

It's now and then you're living
While you wait start the giving
Prove it it's always there
Burning grey without its flare

There's a love that empties its own veins
As they spend they fill up again
The flow traffics through eternity
Carries on in all purity

Now you feel and you think
You see and you touch
With a matrix that springs from your heart
To your hands through your head
Burning grey

It's now and then you're living
While you wait start the giving
Prove it it's always there
Burning grey without its flare
