WILSON: Media provides so much info, but why do we know so little?

By George Wilson, contributing editor | The national television newscasts on the three major networks seem to have abandoned their responsibilities. A long internal tug of war at these networks between the reporters, combined with others dedicated to serious news, and the producers, who tended to see television as a visual, constantly changing presentation, a show. The producers have won, because it helps revenue.

WILSON: U.S. should have voted support for U.N. resolution on Israel

By George Wilson, contributing columnist | Major countries voting in the United Nations condemned Israel’s construction of settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem as a “flagrant violation under international law” and an obstacle to peace in the region. The United States chose to abstain rather than use its veto, as it has done in the past to quash resolutions it considered anti-Israel. The arrogant right-wing Netanyahu then announced plans to increase illegal settlements.

WILSON: What we need are real solutions that address change

By George Wilson, contributing columnist | We all know about the decline of newspapers, big box stores, long-distance telephone service, bookstores, traditional stockbrokers, record companies, travel agents, pay phones, and movie rental stores. Some declines haven’t been good and even detrimental to the country such as the consolidation of media companies. The reduction in the number of journalists and editors at newspapers has caused news coverage to suffer. Is this the reason for the decline in the trust for the media? Now we have the advent of “fake news” flooding the internet.

WILSON: Trump has no mandate; U.S. remains a divided country

By George Wilson, contributing columnist | Like a former Toronto Mayor Rob Ford and the Brexit crowd, Donald Trump tapped into a large number of people who are legitimately upset over the failure of status quo governments to deal with the economic fallout from the loss of jobs to the second and third world countries.

WILSON: Perhaps Pence was trying to pick up cheap political points

WILSON: Perhaps Pence was trying to pick up cheap political points

By George Wilson, contributing columnist | It’s always good to look at patterns of reasoning and behavior of candidates for public office on issues. For example, Mike Pence, as governor of the state of Indiana, issued a ruling saying that he will not allow any Syrians to be placed in the state of Indiana—with federal money. So, the states receive substantial grants from the federal government to aid in the resettlement of refugees, including Syrians.
