There’s ample extant video evidence of Felarca physically assaulting people who have done nothing violent and are not even attempting to defend themselves or retaliate. In front of uniformed SFPD officers.
The problem isn’t Felarca; she’s a symptom.

Yep. They do it because they can.
Burning Shame was deftly handled in A Classical Dictionary.
Although I now wonder how I could possibly learn more without sullying my browser history.
The Weak Must Fear the Strong:
I don’t know why people ever complained about the BBC TV licence fee when it brought them exciting debates on important issues like this.
And look, when people cannot trust their media…
FULL STOP… people should never ‘trust’ their media at first glance.
When, not if.
I see “when people cannot trust their media” as a declarative statement, the emphasis being on when, as in since. Whether people should trust media is the argument, especially poseur media “journalists” like Penny, peddling that projected image for all it’s worth over on what I suspect she hopes is the perceived home turf of the BBC. Coulter is the filthy outsider, the outrage, the attacker – maybe the American-speaking Yankee – and therefore automatically subject to the derision that naturally follows.
Penny manages to issue a truth there but then in the interview exposes herself. For no reason she clearly libels Coulter in an utterly transparent, rhetorical ploy, one I took as lying sensationalism simply because the whole of it was and is unsupportable bullshit and playing to the cameras. It’s the execrable Penny way. It’s deranged and conscienceless.
But yeah, when people don’t trust “their” media – I distrust Penny absolutely and unequivocally – they find alternatives. Like truth.
