So Where Oh Where Is Kyle Rittenhouse’s Gun?

On Saturday I posted about a claim made by one of Kyle Rittenhouse’s attorneys about the gun used by Master Rittenhouse in the slayings of two Americans and the wounding of another in Kenosha WI last week. In short, here’s a quote from his attorney:

“Kyle did not carry a gun across state line,” L. Lin Wood said in a tweet Friday morning. “The gun belonged to his friend, a Wisconsin resident.…

It’s up to us. Editorial from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

This editorial appeared on the front page of this morning’s Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. I am reprinting here in total. I agree with it. I will have comments on it later in another post.

It’s up to us. 

We can’t count on our elected representatives to work together for the public good in Wisconsin. They have proven themselves utterly incapable of compromising even in an emergency to come up…

Waukesha County’s Ill Use Of The First Amendment

This is just a short take on something that appeared in today’s Milwaukee Journal Sentinel…journalists Daphne Chen and Rory Linnane wrote a telling article about COVID-19 and Wisconsin nursing homes. I am not going into that topic directly…but a little aside that appears in the text.

But when trying to find out information about COVID-19 issues with nursing homes in Waukesha County…this…

I understand that there is a lot going on and the media is under a lot of stress to cover a week’s worth of stories each day. And as we’ve discussed here at Blogging Blue they are suffering revenue losses as businesses close or cut back.

But they still need to act responsibly when writing their articles and assigning photos to the articles. Right now the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel is using…

Not Much Hope For Survival of Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

As many of you probably know, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel was involved in another ‘merger’. This time it’s most current owner group, Gannett (which also owned USA Today) merged with New Media Investment Group. And of course as is the nature of these mergers the new company will be sleeker and more efficient my reducing cost redundancies (i.e. employees), $300 – 400 million worth.

And…

USA Today/Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Doesn’t Get the Focus of the Impeachment Inquiry Either.

In a number of articles that have appeared in the print edition over the past few days, and this one online about Senator Ron Johnson’s comments, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and by extension their parent USA Today are misleading the public on what the impeachment inquiry is really about. Their take:

The inquiry is investigating whether President Donald Trump improperly withheld foreign aid…

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel BLOWS UP Their Obituaries!

In what is one of the strangest moves that I can think of…the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel print edition blew up its obituaries. A few years ago when they phased out their classified ad section, MJS moved the obits to the back pages of the Business Section. Except they didn’t call them obituaries…they were old fashioned Death Notices. Like these from the September 1, 2019 Sunday edition:

But…
