Jackie Gingrich Cushman
FREEDOM: January 16, 2020 We need to differentiate between experiences and facts. We know that our individual perspectives affect how we experience events, but do they also affect the underlying facts? THE ANSWER is no. Facts are facts.

MEDIA BIAS: January 9, 2020 Late last January, a short video showing Catholic high school boys and an indigenous drummer in Washington created a media and social media flurry.

2020 ELECTION: December 12, 2019 By Tuesday night, the week’s national political news was already too much to grasp. On Monday, the Justice Department’s inspector general, Michael Horowitz, released the 436-page report “Review of Four FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) Applications and Other Aspects of the FBI’s...
Outrageous outrage - take a ride
Jackie Gingrich Cushman 12/09/2019 - 2:39pm
OUTRAGE: December 5, 2019 In today’s narrative-driven, social media-focused world, it’s easy to slip into outrageous outrage. Let’s take this week’s social media commotion over a Peloton commercial that, according to Bloomberg News reporter Joshua Fineman, led to a drop in stock price. THE COMMERCIAL, titled “The...
