Why I Do Not Write About The Current Hot News Stuff

DON'T LET SILENCE BE THE VOICE OF OUR FUTURE . . . I WON'T:
WHY DO I NOT WRITE ABOUT JUICY STUFF LIKE THE CEO HEALTHCARE KILLER?

My Apologies In Advance . . . I’m Taking This Opportunity To Express My Pre-New Year’s Rant.

I’m Often Asked Why I Don’t Write About Issues Like the Murder of CEO Brian Thompson of UnitedHealthcare, or the Man Charged with His Murder – Luigi Mangione?

DO YOU REMEMBER THE FIVE W’S?

Who, What, When, Where & Why . . . If Told Properly – They Tell The Whole Story, which is What I Try to Do with Every Editorial I Write, Edit & Publish, Leaving No-One & Nothing Hanging. I Also Try To Make Certain That I Include Background.

I Hope You’ve Noticed That I Bracket Dates I Think Are Important In Every Article I Write.

I Read An Enormous Quantity Of News-Stories Worldwide – And I am Always or Mostly Disappointed & Angered at How so many of the News-Stories are Told . . . Very Often Without a Date of the Event or a Date Buried Deeply Within the Story. Also, Too Often . . . With The Place Of The Event Missing Altogether.

When You Read My Writings, Or The Writings Of A Diminishing Number Of Good Storytellers, you will Notice that all the Questions are Answered Right at the Beginning, Especially with Links to the Stories that Give the Kind of Background Needed to Describe the Story in Depth . . . The Why Of The Article.

The Other Issue That Bothers Me . . . Is How the News Media has Become a Part of the Entertainment Cycle, For Example, the Murder of the UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson at the Purported Hands of Luigi Mangione – On December 4, 2024 In Mid Town New York, Outside The Midtown New York Hilton Hotel.

For Two Weeks, Before We Knew More About The Murder – That Was The Constant News Media Story, Even Though the Information Given Covered Most of the Story within the First Few Days, which Became Breaking News During Every 15-Minute Cycle – as if that was Somehow Going to Lower the Crime Rate, Solve Inflation, Repair Homelessness, Lower Cost of Food, Cost of Fuel – Etc.

HOW DOES THE FOLLOWING BENEFIT THE PEOPLE?

At One Point, The News Story Becomes An Entertainment Story Regurgitated Every Way Imaginable.

I’m Not Suggesting that the Murder of Brian Thompson Wasn’t Terribly Important & Tragic. But So are the Hundreds of Other Murders Committed Every Week Throughout the United States of America. What Makes This Murder More Newsworthy Than The Murder Of Anyone Else?

It’s Like School Shootings . . . They Are Tragic. And No Matter How Many Times the Media Analyses these Horrible Events . . . Out Comes the Perfunctory Story-Board with Solace Sites, Flowers, Candles, Teddy Bears – Etc . . . In Favor Of Banning Guns, which Becomes the Lead Story for a Week or More, Until the Next Sensationalist Disaster. Always The Same . . . Just Spun Differently.

What About News Issues that are Not News Issues, Which Really Should-Be, Like How Do Middle Income People who Enter Politics Become Millionaires Almost Overnight, While Earning About $200,000 Per Year?

Why is it OK For Politicians who Make the Laws, Benefit from Insider Trading About the Laws they Make, When Insider Trading is Against the Law . . . And A Jailable Offense For Everyone Else?

How Do Politicians Who Campaign On One Policy, then Not Support the Policy they Campaigned-On Once they Win Power?

Why Are We So Worried About China, When we are Spending Trillions of Dollars Supporting China’s Economy, Which Translates Into China’s Military, and then we Spend Trillions of Dollars Building Up Our Own Military, to Defend the Chinese Military we Helped to Create?

DON’T TELL ME ABOUT PALESTINIAN RIGHTS & A TWO STATE SOLUTION:

Why Isn’t There An In-Depth Study On The History Of The Middle East?

We Know All About Judaism In The Middle East, Dating Back Thousands of Years with the Two Temples in Jerusalem, Ancient Jewish Grave Sites and the Birth Place of Christ. We Know a Great Deal of Iran (Persia), Egypt and the Ottoman Empire. Why Do We Know Nothing About The Palestinian Empire?

How Far Back Goes The Palestinian Nation? What were the Ancient Borders of Palestine? What were the Great Accomplishments of the Palestinian People? Who in History Led the Palestinian People . . . From One Era To The Next?

And What Does From The River To The Sea Really Mean?

SHOULDN’T THE BIGGEST STORY BE ABOUT THE FAKE PRESIDENCY OF BIDEN?

During The Past 4-Years . . . Who Is It That Has Been Making Presidential Decisions?

Who Actually Orchestrated The Pull-Out Of Afghanistan? Who Made the Decision to Lay America’s Borders Wide-Open to an Invasion of Illegal Immigrants & Terrorists? Who Really Decided to Shut Down America & Suspend Civil Rights, Liberties & Freedoms while Ordering the Silence of Scientific (Medical) Opposition, to the Way Covid was Handled? And By What Authority Did The Democrats Have The Right To Rig The 2020 Election With Phony Mail-In Ballots?

So, While the Media Has Been Jerking-Us Around with Sensationalist Stories, the Real Stories that Changed our Lives were Barely Covered . . . If Covered At All.

DON’T LET SILENCE BE THE VOICE OF OUR FUTURE . . . I WON’T:

We Have Every Opportunity To Change All Of That & Get Back To Real Journalism In 2025.

Best Regards . . . Howard Galganov

  1. All of your questions need answers and the answers must be dug out of all the BS we have been fed, there are just so many coverups and some insiders need to open up with their true feelings and thoughts

  2. Your questions are self-evident. The real question is why have Canadians permitted the moral and physical rot to continue so long.

  3. This is one of MANY I have wished Trump received. Trump has tenicles into almost everything. I have a feeling he knows about your editorials and appreciates you.

  4. The Biden (Obama) admin seems to have succeeded in starting our free country down a road where we will be battling the likes of hamas’, hezzbola’s, venasuelan gangs, mx cartels, etc. fighting for our and our families lives. Hopefully Mr Trump will beef up our military and don’t hesitate to search out and exterminate the vermin. The msm is keeping from airing the crimes of gangs so far.us on antenna have you.(&others online) for news. Thanks Mr. H.

  5. For anyone who follows Middle Eastern politics but is desiring to read an actual novel. Read “The Haj” by Leon Uris. The Arab explains why the Arabs will never accept a two-state solution as the Arab protagonist explains to the Jew, “Hatred is Holy in this part of the world. It is also eternal. No dispute is ever really settled in our part of the world. The Jews give us a special reason to keep on warring”, and “You are crazy to extend to us a mercy that you will never receive in return”.

  6. You rightly speak of politicians who enter office broke yet accumulate millions on their meager salary. A noted Premier of New Brunswick entered office broke yet retired 10 years later with a 12 Million dollar bank account? How does it happen? He was on the board of directors for most every company doing business in the Province….Is that legal?

  7. The insurance CEO murder is constantly fronted in the news because Luigi Mangione is a new heartthrob. I heard it said today “Evil can be pretty – like Ted Bundy”. There are some who need to use facts & law for decision-making, not appearances. / There is much in the US which has been allowed because we have weakness & no brains in the WH. That will soon change./ There has been no one at our helm & much has befallen the world. Still Joe pays billions to our enemies. Good riddance, Joe.

  8. Howard, I, for one, do not question what you write about. It is your decision. And besides, no matter what a person does, including smart, informed, good people like yourself, folks will always criticize. You cannot please everybody. For Example: To me, my next door neighbour, Becky, is wonderful. She can’t do enough for me. Buys me presents, takes me to lunch, etc…a real sweetheart. So to me, Becky is lovely. And yet – my wife, Julie, can’t stand her. Can’t please everybody !!!

  9. It’s Christmas, and Hanukkah time Howard, take a well earned break and enjoy Happy Birthday Anne and Happy New Year 2025. There will be plenty to write about soon. The fat lady is still singing and it’s not over yet. ⛄️

  10. The Rules are for Thee and not for Me, this is politics. As a Politician, you can lie, make promises you have no plan to keep to win, and stay in office for years with little accountability. Why are we planning to deport criminal Illegals to other countries? They for the most part will return again, they must be eliminated, executed in front of the World. You put down your dog because you knew he would hurt someone at some point, Prudent and hard. These Criminals continue to hurt, execute.
