Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
“How do you write women so well?” novelist Melvin Udall was asked in the 1997 film As Good as It Gets. “I think of a man,” he replied, “and I take away reason and accountability.” This comes to mind while pondering the Lindsay Clancy situation.
The harpies at NBC10 (WBTS) in Boston have the name, rank and serial number of the juror who believed Lindsay Clancy when she said she killed her children. The outlet is owned and operated by NBC. Station personnel have no legal right to know his name and in fact, may have violated the law in obtaining the name.
Another week of crack journalism has passed and the examples simply become fodder for the Surber sarcasm machine. Enjoy!

Don Surber delivers his take on this week’s news items as only he can. He’ll make you think, laugh, and learn to recognize the absurdity of the media’s coverage of the news.
ITEM 1: Yahoo reported, “A Popular ED Medication Was Just Linked to a Greater Risk of Blindness in Men Over 40.’
As the movie asked, can I do it till I need glasses?
Today you get the other two things I am, the medic and the science teacher, and I need you to set the pitchfork down for about ten minutes. Because I am going to walk you through some neuroendocrinology first, and only then tell you what it has to do with three dead children in Duxbury, Massachusetts.
