  1. I had to look up the word pedantic and among other things I found this:

    Definition of pedantic
    1: of, relating to, or being a pedant a pedantic teacher
    2: narrowly, stodgily, and often ostentatiously learned a pedantic insistence that we follow the rules exactly
    3: unimaginative, dull
    4: In Shakespeare’s day, a pedant was a male schoolteacher. The word’s meaning was close to that of the Italian pedante, from which the English word was adapted. Someone who was pedantic was simply a tutor or teacher. But some instructional pedants of the day must have been pompous and dull, because by the late 1500’s pedant had gained an extended sense referring to anyone who was obnoxiously and tediously devoted to his or her own academic acumen.

  2. “Journalists” killed the news media 40 years ago….it’s just taken this long for people to pay attention enough to realize it. There is NOTHING real about “news media” today. Once they stopped reporting on the news and began manufacturing it…..it was all over but the whining. They are world champion whiners……Olympic gold medal whiners. At least they’re good at something because they’re pretty awful at being humans.
