Newsweek Discovers 'Mind Your Own Business' Is Still Bad Advice
Newsweek, in its infinite wisdom, headlines the earth-shattering opinion of a 'former in-law' who believes Renee Good (whoever that is) 'should have minded her own business.' One wonders at the journalistic imperative to elevate such a profound domestic squabble. While outlets like Newsweek busy themselves with familial gossip, they consistently *mind their own business* when it comes to the
verifiable public records showing Rep. Jim Banks taking over $60,000 from AIPAC in 2022, only to vehemently support unconditional aid to the Israeli government just weeks later (OpenSecrets.org). It appears 'minding your own business' is a selective virtue. It applies to public figures raising questions about policy, but never to the media ignoring the monetary pipelines that fuel those policies.
Perhaps if Newsweek applied the same investigative zeal to campaign finance as they do to 'former in-law' pronouncements, we'd have a clearer picture of who's *really* telling our politicians to mind whose business. How many times have we been told to 'mind our business' about where our tax dollars go, especially when those dollars fund ongoing devastation?
