It’s Toxic Media That Hurts America, Not Toxic Masculinity

Gillette shaving company started last week with a bang. Their “toxic masculinity” commercial attacked all men as rapists, bullies, and brutes. According to the company, masculine men have these issues, and we are the downfall of our society and culture. The media and left-wing pundits agreed and widely praised the ad. But then the weekend came, and the press proved something - they are toxic to America, not masculine men.

BuzzFeed published a report alleging Trump told his longtime personal lawyer Michael Cohen to lie to Congress about a potential business deal in Moscow during 2016. For approximately ten or so hours, the media had a frenzy. This was the smoking gun, and Trump is over. He would have to resign. However, Mueller’s spokesperson released a statement and informed the public that the allegations were false. BuzzFeed refused to admit they were wrong. Instead, they doubled down and peddled the report.

BuzzFeed’s failure to admit they were wrong is dangerous to the country. The political climate already feels like a tinderbox at times. Pushing political lies places lives at risk – just ask House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA) who was shot by a progressive Democrat at a Congressional baseball game practice.

None of it is news !
Ok some Catholic kids in hats ran into some Black Israelite's and an American Indian at a womens march.....I think there's a joke there. We have kids....crazy Africans that think they are Jews and some drum beating indigenous people. How did that go wrong and how is it news ? I think it has gotten a lot of FAKE NEWS over exposure and no one really cares.

Gillette is over.
I buy 12 bic type walgreen brand razors for $3 and they last me a year. Granted, 5 swipes instead of one to shave me, but at $26 for maybe a half a year, I'm not buying. It's a nice razor, but only worth $2 refills.
Refills are way more expensive that that.
