SHORT TAKES ON THE DRIFTING WRECKAGE – OVERNIGHT:

MORE JOURNALISM DECLINE - OVERNIGHT - FROM NEWSBUSTERS:   There's no Republican who the haters at MSNBC won't mock, even in death. Extremist MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan on Sunday undermined Bob Dole, downplaying his World War II heroics because, at the end of his life, he identified himself as a Trump supporter.  Hasan, who has a Sunday night show on MSNBC and occasionally fills-in for other supposedly reputable programs, rewrote a New York Times tweet on the late Army vet who almost died under withering Nazi machine gun fire.  In a follow-up tweet, Hasan grumbled, “Dole was a World War 2 veteran and ran a non-crazy, non-far-right GOP presidential campaign in 1996.” The host appeared touchy about his attack, tweeting on Monday morning that his emphasis on Trump was only an example of independent journalism.  A simple review of Dole's career would have done the job.  When will "journalists" finally understand that their opinions are rarely of much interest?
