A passage or three to whet your appetite is shown below; enjoy.
Matt Gagnon did a superb job of “fisking” Edgar Allen Beem‘s recent Forecaster column attacking MHPC’s report on Maine’s referendum process. The report details how the process has increasingly been used by out of state big money interests. In his response, Matt clearly showed how intellectually bankrupt Beem is, and how perverted his journalistic principles are. Ethics and integrity are the least of Beem’s concerns, and he shows his disrespect for Forecaster readers because of it.
Beem has “dined out” on his hatred of Gov. LePage and all things Republican, and since 2016, has added President Trump to his regular meals. Without these two, it’s safe to say he’d be scratching in his front lawn for column subject matter. Last year he went so far as to say “99% of Trump voters are white trash Americans.”
Surely you’ve seen the numerous pharmaceutical commercials on TV–they are more prominent than ever. They’re filled with schmaltzy visuals of loving individuals romping through spring fields, or nuzzling at home, or enjoying time with friends, overlaid with fine print and voice overs about warnings and side effects, sometimes mentioning death as a possible outcome!
