Nothing shows up the difference between the things said or read, so much as the daily experience of it. ↗

So this guy, Jeff Johnson, who is an accountant who cares nothing at all about a free press and cares nothing about journalism, he's a right winger who supported the war, you know, who two years ago told people he couldn't stand a word that I wrote. ↗
