A few days ago, some of us made fun of Steingar for "hating himself" for giving some students a bad grade.
Today, I find myself sort of hating myself for letting out a small grin when I heard this news.
I do feel bad for RBG and her family. I hope this only results in her retirement so she can live out her life free of the stress of the courts. But liberals like her are so full of hate, she will continue to wallow in stress as long as Trump, or any other Republican is in power.

It is inevitable the United States President Donald Trump will be making another appointment to the USSC.
What are the chances that the lunatic (communists) democrats will return to their Kavanaigh campaign or lies, harassment, disobedience, lies, stupidity and much more in the way of lies?

Did anyone notice what one word was completely missing from the article?

Nope.
Cancer.

They did use the word malignant if memory serves. It has been a couple hours since I read it.

Shhhhhhhhhhh!

That’s the point. Most people will whip right by that. But most people will see the C word and all that that word implies for an 85-year old person. Lung cancer in anyone is really bad, let alone an octogenarian.
It will be telling whether the MSM use the C word when mentioning this, if it’s even mentioned at all.

Okay I went back to the article:
“According to the thoracic surgeon, Valerie W. Rusch, MD, FACS, both nodules removed during surgery were found to be malignant on initial pathology evaluation,” the release said. “Post-surgery, there was no evidence of any remaining disease. Scans performed before surgery indicated no evidence of disease elsewhere in the body. Currently, no further treatment is planned. ..."
Sounds like they got clean margins, and no scans show metastases. It could be in someone that age no treatment planned is better than putting them through chemo which maybe they'd do for caution if they were younger. Of course we don't know the exact type of cancer it is.

I assumed you meant "disease"; not C . . .

I still think you’re missing my point. While the word “malignant” is not reserved to cancer, this points entirely to cancer in my non-MD point of view. The word “cancer” triggers emotion and fear in most people, much more than the word “disease”, which is more of a ubiquitous term which could include anything.
I think it’s no accident that the article did not use the word “cancer” when describing a serious surgery in an 85-year old Supreme Court Justice who could die in office while Donald Trump is still President.

I agree, it is purposeful bias by omission, and it happens all the time.

I didn't miss your point at all. I 100% grasped your point. I assumed you knew I got the point, so I didn't specifically say so.
My point was, in using the word "malignant", they could accurately report the facts (agree with you though technically the word is not a synonym for cancer, i.e. malignant hypertension, AFAIK it always is when referencing a solid tumor) without using the typical trigger word. Although "malignant" is close, it doesn't pop out quite the same as "cancer" and was probably missed by a portion of readers.

There is a whole cult of personality that has sprung up around Ruthie. The democrats (communists) have chosen her to be their new goddess (replacing the princess barrack) and the tributes to her are quite sickening.

Cortez is their new Goddess. Fitting, because she is as dumb as a box of rocks.

Ah, OK. We’re in agreement.

Which shows how ignorant a (large) portion of the readers are.
