The Week’s News: Knoxville Focus

Publisher’s Positions: A Politically Tilted Scale

The past week’s news was filled with events that revealed the blatant bias present in our news coverage and the political landscape. One noteworthy instance involved the Attorney General’s role in the ongoing sexual harassment case against former President Donald Trump.

Such legal proceedings would never have occurred had Trump not been in the limelight. The politicization of justice system was heavily criticized during an intense discussion on the “Real Time With Bill Maher.” show.

A Squad Minus One

In another significant development in the political arena, a former middle school principal and a symbol of what parents would not want their children to be, lost in the Democratic primary last week. Known for his radical progressive stance and alleged antisemitism, he garnered attention for pulling the fire alarm to delay a vote in the House and was later convicted and fined in a DC court. His pre-primary profanity-laced show with Alexandria Ocasio Cortez and Bernie Sanders further inflamed the public opinion against him.

Biden: Perception Over Reality?

Amidst the high-profile debates, one campaign found itself continually digging out of a hole of its own creation. They were accused of dodging the question on whether the candidate planned to take any performance-enhancing drugs before the presidential debate. The team’s spokeswoman downplayed these allegations calling them “desperate, obviously false lies.”

The candidate himself was under fire for several dubious claims, including stories about his Uncle Bosie’s World War II experiences and controversial border security decisions. Speculations were also rife about the authenticity of his claims about a booming economy, despite contrary popular opinion.

Housing Concerns Amid Ambitious Expansion

At the educational front, the president of a university announced an ambitious target to enroll 71,000 students at the institution by 2030. Even though not all these students would attend the campus, this move could pose severe housing challenges for Knoxville and Knox County. Further concerns were raised over the potential increase in living cost and rent, and its likely adverse impact on homeowners and young families.

Health Concern: Another Bad Bug

In another alarming news, a shigella bacteria outbreak was reported among the homeless population in a Californian county. Health department officials linked the outbreak to a river, which runs by the homeless encampment. This contagious infection is known to cause severe gastroenteritis and intestinal distress in humans and is often spread through feces, shared drinking, and sexual contact.
