We've not had calls for legal help, our stated purpose for existing, but surely some will come. We've also not had any donations, which are critical if we are to help those deserving.
Address for Legalities for either donations or requests for financial help can be obtained by calling 8604915569. Thank you for caring.

I know that my news enlightens many, since we have literally hundreds, if not thousands, of followers and "likers." But I never learn about what ya''ll see out there in the world. Please fill us'all in.

Recently moved our headquarters to Indiana. The new address in care of me, Nancy Lewis, is 2312 E. Dartmouth Ave., Muncie, IN 47303. Phone number remains the same, 8604915569.

Our biggest roadblock right now is a lack of funds. It's really hard to promise someone a great lawyer without retainers put aside for the purpose. We receive donations through PayPal as well as here through Facebook. I've no idea why someone tacked on some other charity in my last plea; we want the money for this nonprofit, Legalities, Inc., in order to help people get real justice. No matter where I live, I encounter dozens of people who need our help.

Keep an ear to the ground for the upcoming publication of my third book, working title, Great S*x on Food Stamps.

I'm thinking sadly about all the poor people we won't be able to help. We desperately need donations if we are serious about helping people.

Legalities recently relocated to Indiana; it doesn't matter where you go in this land, those who should acquire justice, cant, because of that commodity that isn't supposed to influence our system of justice and control it, (ofttimes completely). Money, cash, . . .

You might be tempted to describe it as hypocritical, yet the word duplicitous comes closer, closer to the United States' complaints about China stealing our copyrights at the same time our government quietly and subtly pilfers those that rightfully belong to U.S. citizens.
Of the roughly 200 nations that comprise the world's geography, only the United States does not recognize a creator's ownership of their work, giving possession instead to the creator's employer. And with ownership comes power and control for the company and ultimately the government in deciding what truth amounts to.
This of course is exactly what distorts and twists journalism in the United States, as truth slips silently through a writers hands and becomes the political coinage of first the company's owner and finally, through various forms of manipulation, the government's.
Legalities' stated purpose is to help litigants access the court system when funds are short or entirely lacking, a situation most often encountered in New Mexico, where the non profit was formed. In Connecticut, for the past seven years, Legalities has devoted itself to helping people apply for various benefits, interpreting what is called for in applications. This is sometimes very difficult, especially for those for whom English is a second language.
Legalities has received no donations or grants in recent years but continues to help people without charge. Yet operating a non profit is not without expenses, including a $400 yearly renewal fee.
Donations are greatly appreciated and may be sent to Legalities, Inc., c/o Nancy Lewis, P.O. Box 251, Canaan, CT, 06018.

The crux of what is wrong with journalism today

08/06/2018

Fake News?

Yes, all of ours here in the United States is. In fact because copyright laws in the United States allow the theft of intellectual property on an unprecedented level, President Trump's pet term for our media is right on.

Here in America, alone among the two hundred odd nations on Earth, a copyright belongs not to the creator but to the employer, thereby, in the case of the media, producing "news" that can certainly be best described as "fake," since the final product cannot even be said to be the creation of a true journalist.

Where Bias Hangs Out

The run I had for awhile helping people fill out these dastardly government forms and applications seems to have simmered down. They are truly not to be believed. Poor grammar, nonsensical sentences and no paragraphs. Clearly designed to keep applicants from getting the benefits to which they were entitled. Good I'm glad that frenzy is over so I can just sit here and grieve, mourn my profession of journalism as I watch the structures that used to represent truth melt down into a puddle of guess-me-nots. It devastates me to see what it has become: mostly opinions on anything that doesn't matter anyway.

I knew when I was a child that I wanted to follow in the footsteps of my personal hero Lois Lane, and while I was busy writing my way to the top it still seemed to me that most of what we journalists produced was a serious effort to probe around the edges of things until we could give the reading public pebbles of fact, truth, enough to see the other side of issues, hopefully to allow them to move toward compromise. Now, the only goal journalists seem to have is one that trashes someone or other, the higher on the political ladder the better. It makes me glad I have retired and now spend some of my time publishing my poetry and other writings.

But it also makes me sad about the love of my life: journalism and what a sad sack it is today. I loved the smoke-filled newsroom and its chaos as we all wrote to the rat-tat-tat beat of the typewriters trying our best to provide that most elusive of products, truth. Our takes, our opinions never entered in. Opinions (we imagined were composed by the wise grey-haired editors upstairs because they were anonymous) were relegated to the editorial page. If a bias or even the shadow of an opinion ever appeared in one of our stories you could be sure it would be edited out before the presses began to whir.

Now when I watch or read the news, I have to search very hard to find the facts ma'am, just the facts. It's more than just limiting oneself as the writer to the who, what, where, why, when of a story; its all in the tone and that is where bias often rears its ugly head.
