1. Reporters discussing the former President now have to apologize for talking about flushing orange turds. Nice.

3. And sometimes people may not be able to sit in front of a screen to read a transcript

so they listen to the news while taking care of other tasks. I've been a multi-tasker for the last 35 years, but I've developed astigmatism over the last two years.

4. I appologize....I guess my point was that often reporters put their own spin on things...

....anyway another way to put it is that my interpretation after reading the transcript was more like the interpretation given by Ben Meiselas on MidasTouch

......you are a long time and major contributor here, I've only been here a short time, so the last thing I wanted to do was offend...

I'll try to be more careful what i say in the future

I wasn't offended by your earlier remark, but I wanted to point that we convey information in multiple manners and even those preferences can change over time. Prior to the war in Ukraine, a majority of my posts were in the state groups.

I realize that the journalists may not relay information with 100% accuracy, but if a PDF file is over 10 pages, then I probably won't read it due to the vision problems between astigmatism and extreme nearsightedness.
