Clickbait on clickbait.

mark.w.schumann aggregators, anonymous sources, clickbait, Donald Trump, Rawstory, Washington Post 0 Comment January 18, 2018

Here’s some crap that came from that clickbait aggregator site “Raw Story”: Trump says privately that a terror attack could save him and GOP from 2018 election bloodbath: report. Yeah, that’s kind of a reach. I’m not the person who says don’t share things from Rawstory because it’s fake news. I’m the person who says […]

The “Warlock Hunt” essay is trash.

mark.w.schumann Claire Berlinski, feminism, sexual harassment 0 Comment December 16, 2017

A friend shared this essay recently on Facebook, highlighted by “The #MeToo moment has now morphed into a moral panic that poses as much danger to women as it does to men.” Wow. What a mess. This author is jumping all over the place with a thesis that changes every few paragraphs. It’s hard to […]

More on the proposed bias-free policing policy

mark.w.schumann ACLU, bullshit, Cleveland, consent decree, police use of force 0 Comment September 29, 2017

The proposed policy on bias-free policing is an insult to the Court. It’s an insult to the Bias-Free Policing Work Group that committed four months to research and produce a thorough and comprehensive set of recommendations. And it’s an insult to the people of Cleveland. But more to the point, the proposed policy doesn’t come close to […]

My “Efficient Government Amendment”

mark.w.schumann City Charter, City Council, Cleveland, corruption 0 Comment September 8, 2017

Problem: City Council is irrelevant, expensive, and petty.

Bias-Free Policing policy… not quite on point.

mark.w.schumann bullshit, Cleveland, consent decree, police, police use of force, race, sabotage 0 Comment September 7, 2017

Update: I went to the “Bias-Free Policing Town Hall” that was put on by the Community Policing Commission (CPC) last night. One bit of information makes this all make so much more sense: The draft policy was written by police brass. I’m going to go out on a very short limb and say the police department is deliberately […]

Labor Day with Matt Zone

Labor Day with Matt Zone

user Cleveland, hypocrisy, Matt Zone, minimum wage 0 Comment September 4, 2017

Matt Zone today: Matt Zone a year ago: After months of debate, demonstrations and public hearings, the issue narrowly missed making the November ballot. Per the City Charter, council would have had to vote on the issue on or before last Friday – 60 days before the general election – to make the ballot. But […]

The CleCast: 👍, Ward politics: 👎

The CleCast: 👍, Ward politics: 👎

mark.w.schumann Cleveland, Kerry McCormack, Matt Zone, The CleCast 0 Comment September 4, 2017

I’ve been listening to “The CleCast” selectively for a little while now. I don’t bother with every single episode; there are so many, and they’re kind of long, and I’m not interested in all the topics. But I do want to say this. First of all, it’s a really good show. Dan and Brian ask […]

Kevin Kelley. I don’t know what else to say.

mark.w.schumann City Council, Kevin Kelley, WTF 0 Comment September 1, 2017

WTAM 1100 ran an interesting story just now: Kelley tells Newsradio WTAM 1100, opposition group Greater Cleveland Congregations were organized and funded by groups from Washington DC and Columbus. He says the public should know where and how the organization received its money.

Sad state of commercial “journalism.”

mark.w.schumann Akron, cleveland.com, media, police, propaganda 0 Comment August 29, 2017

This article recently ran on cleveland.com: “Death of 17-year-old boy in Akron police custody ruled suicide, medical examiner says.” The writer here has a masters degree from the Columbia University School of Journalism. A good reporter would have done more than transcribing the police press release. To wit: “Leeser declined to discuss the department’s polices […]
