I am the government. At least for my part of it life is easier. People are either guilty or innocent. Don't care about race, gender, politics, or sexual orientation.
My only real bias comes twice/year. Little suggestion, don't wear your Steelers jersey to my court on a Browns-Steelers week. You will go to jail.
Aside from that my goal is to make the guilty pay. What can be simpler?
BTW, none of this applies to PirateNews. Yes, we are watching. 99.9% of contrails are harmless, the .1% above PN, NOT harmless. Tinfoil helps, thats why we put stuff in the tinfoil. Yes, we have replaced all of PN's local cops with Nazi assassins loyal to the Queen of England. Yes, their orders are to give him routine traffic tickets. Yes, cats are involved.

Shall I leave behind a pistol for you, then ?

No one is blameless, least of all you - therefore if you wish to hold the moral high ground on that point, your first appointment should be with a mirror, otherwise you're just one more petty tyrant in a world chock full of them.

I'm mystified that the standard of comportment of news readers hasn't changed in 20 years--feckless banter, sentimental posturing and, my favorite, cueing the audience to feel contempt for the "wacky" stuff they just have to report on. Who ever wanted that? I can't wait for the upgrade, when news anchors will be expected to be at least as knowledgible as the average google search would make you.

Hey, hey, hey, don't be mean. We don't have to be mean, because, remember, no matter where you go, there you are.
