Terry discusses local officials touting the expansion of Waterfront Park into WEST LOU-UH-VUL, a name we stole from a town in western Kentucky. (If you say WAH-FAH instead of WiFi, then Loo-uh-vul fits right into your Jethro laden elocution skeelz!).In Washington, members of Congress went on the attack against left-leaning NPR. Jim Jordan and Jamie Comer tried to derail NPR CEO Katherine Maher. She's like, "who me? I drive down the center lane on the highway."Opinion is part of the media universe, albeit separate from general news gathering. That's what the AP stylebook would have us all believe.But news consumers like to hear their own biases reflected back toward them. MSNBC viewers are convinced that they're hearing unbiased news reporting and sensible commentary. The exact opposite sentiment is embraced by conservatives consuming Fox News.Today's issue: the Republicans in charge of the House of Representatives don't want to fund liberal NPR and PBS opinions but are fine with conservative views on various media platforms.Conservatives control all three branches of government right now so expect this battle over funding public media to remain active for now. 

Biological women deserve their private spaces. Testosterone fueled humanoids can use neutral restrooms, one aligned with their biological gender, or do what I do...go in the woods. Logic. It's the core of the word biological.
