Opinionated ideologues are opinions, not facts

| December 12, 2019 12:00 AM

Anyone who follows the news must surely recognize we’re not getting the unvarnished truth, the unbiased facts, from our favored source. We appear to have few just-the-facts journalists, rather we have opinionated ideologues.

Opinions are not facts … they’re opinions. I find it a bit amusing when self-important journalists expect their opinion(s) be accepted as fact while they opine on subjects about which they know little or nothing. I would never be guilty of that. Heck, I pretty much know everything about nothing … or is that nothing about everything? Dang, I should’ve run for Congress. I’d have fit right in, no?

God bless America, and God bless our military.
