Life as a journalist in Alabama must be hard. All polling indicates people don’t trust you. A lot of this isn’t your fault.

Locally, the politics of the state are center-right and the media is far-left, but this can mostly be masked through coverage […]

7. Apparently, the coronavirus only strikes at night Mobile has put out a city-wide curfew from 10:00 p.m. until 5:00 a.m. that prohibits anyone who isn’t going to their essential job from being out.

The irresponsibility of the media, national public health officials and China has effectively destroyed our economy, individual businesses and American lives. It is time to look for the exit ramp.

Another White House press secretary is out White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham will be stepping down and moving on to being First Lady Melania Trump’s spokeswoman and chief of staff, where Melania expects her to “excel.” It’s expected President Donald Trump’s campaign national spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany will replace Grisham as press secretary.  6.

There is no bigger issue in the state of Alabama or elsewhere than the coronavirus pandemic that originated in China. It has killed people, directly and indirectly.

Every American is fixated on the current coronavirus pandemic. It dominates local and national news, daily talk radio and Alabama’s major newspapers three days a week. The Alabama political press is busy using this to accuse Governor Kay Ivey of wanting Alabamians to die because she hasn’t issued a “shelter-in-place” order. To their credit, usually, […]

The news on the coronavirus pandemic in the United States is bleak as our numbers are climbing in both cases and deaths.
