To the Editor,
Re: Here Molly, Jan. 10.
I was reading the Jan. 10 edition back-to-front. It seemed appropriate given almost all media has been turned upside-down and inside-out. We should all be deeply concerned about the path of integrity our media no longer walks. And about the underwhelming lack of substance the masses digest as truth, entertainment, news. So I read the Bulletin backwards looking for a different perspective.
I was hoping for quality news. Hoping for substance on a scale appropriate to our times which you may have noticed are a failure of epic proportions. Everywhere 2016 is being remembered as the culmination of decades of globalist agendas featuring central banks driving economic ruin, famine, disease, death, orchestrated cash and geopolitical wars, a Middle East in absolute chaos and radical Islamists tearing holes in European countries and now North America alike. Politicians and institutions have crumbled under the weight of their own criminal incompetence, a Brexit and Trump victory is spearheading a fundamental shift in the power structure, political correctness has run amok, as has an orchestrated degeneration of the entire education system.
Social media has been granted licence to steal and mainstream media granted licence to lie, then lie about the lies, while the free-speech Internet alternative media is too busy throwing handbags at 12 paces over who’s the ‘real’ real news to actually offer any news.
Sure it was a tall order for the Bulletin as I reached the all important, all impactful, thought-provoking, times-reflecting top news story of the issue. And there it was: an enriching account of Nanaimo’s most popular dog names complete with a half-page photo of a dog not named Molly.
I’m looking forward to next issue’s top read on which lemonade 10-year-olds most prefer to sell at summer sidewalk stands.
