Journolism!

The New York Times’ famous logo tells us something other than what the public might think; it tells us that the editors will decide what you should know.

Sam Brinton, from his Department of Energy biography, and is a public record.

Remember Sam Brinton? Well, he’s actually someone you’d really not want to remember, because he’s loony tunes, off his rocker, certifiably nuts, cookoo for Cocoa Puffs. Mr Brinton ‘identifies’ as ‘non-binary’ and chooses to use “they/them” pronouns, something along with which the credentialed media go, but The First Street Journal, in accordance with our Stylebook, does not.

Mr Brinton is a graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with a Masters in nuclear engineering, technology and policy, which, I suppose, qualified him to be appointed by President Biden to become Deputy Assistant Secretary for Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition, despite the fact he is completely nuts, because the #woke[1]From Wikipedia: Woke (/ˈwoʊk/) as a political term of African-American origin refers to a perceived awareness of issues concerning social justice and racial justice. It is derived from … Continue reading in the Biden Administration are promoting all sorts of sexual weirdness acceptance.

Now, you would think that The New York Times, one of our newspapers of record, would have a story on it if the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition, someone with a high-level security clearance, was arrested for felony theft, but if you thought that, you’d be wrong. Site searches for both Sam Brinton and the more specific “Sam Brinton” did not return any results related to his arrest. Going through the Grey Lady’s website front page, at 9:28 AM EST, I saw nothing on Mr Brinton’s arrest.

The New York Post had the story, as did Fox News, as did The Telegraph in London, as did the Daily Mail, but not The Washington Post, at least not according to a site search conducted at 9:35 AM EST. Scrolling down through the Post’s website main page also showed no such story.

You remember The Washington Post, one of our other newspapers of record, one which specializes in federal government reporting, and its addition of “Democracy Dies in Darkness” to its logo, during the Trump Administration? It would appear that the editors of the Post want this story to die in darkness!

Of course, the Post’s Editorial Board did have a posted editorial against Elon Musk’s opening Twitter to freedom of speech, so perhaps “Democracy Dies in Darkness” really means that the editors only like light on news and opinions they approve.

This is not journalism, but journolism. The spelling ‘journolist’ or ‘journolism’ comes from JournoList, an email list of 400 influential and politically liberal journalists, the exposure of which called into question their objectivity, and I use the term ‘journolism’ frequently when writing about media bias. It seems that two of our newspapers of record, the most important papers in the United States, don’t want their readers to know that President Biden appointed someone who is just plain nuts to an important security position, and that he’s turned out to be both stupid and (allegedly) a thief. Knowing that Mr Brinton (allegedly) stole a suitcase off thebaggage claim carousel at the Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport might, just might, lead some people to have poorer opinions about ‘gender-fluid’, ‘non-binary’ people in general, and they just can’t have that!

Update: 8:15 AM EST, Wednesday, November 30, 2022: Site searches of our nation’s four ‘newspapers of record, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, and The Los Angeles Times, still show no returns for “Sam Brinton” on this subject.

Woke (/ˈwk/) as a political term of African-American origin refers to a perceived awareness of issues concerning social justice and racial justice. It is derived from the African-American Vernacular English expression “stay woke“, whose grammatical aspect refers to a continuing awareness of these issues.
By the late 2010s, woke had been adopted as a more generic slang term broadly associated with left-wing politics and cultural issues (with the terms woke culture and woke politics also being used). It has been the subject of memes and ironic usage. Its widespread use since 2014 is a result of the Black Lives Matter movement.

I shall confess to sometimes “ironic usage” of the term. To put it bluntly, I think that the ‘woke’ are just boneheadedly stupid.

  1. One wonders: did any of our national security personnel rebel when they were told that the distinguished Mr Brinton was to be given a security clearance? Did anyone stand up and say, “No!”?

    As Deputy Assistant Secretary of Energy for Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition, Mr Brinton would have had access to information about any spent fuel being shipped away from a nuclear power plant or research reactor, as well as what kinds of security safeguards were placed, and where, on spent nuclear fuel. For potential terrorists who wanted to make a “dirty bomb,” this information could prove invaluable.
