Hanania syndicated columns: expose ASPCA spending, effort to block RFK from presidential debate and more

Ray Hanania’s syndicated columns this week included a detailed look at how the ASPCA spends the money it solicits in high profile but painful advertising on its company executives. Only about $7.75 of the monthly $19 solicited in the Ads goes to help abused animals, according to numerous reports.

Hanania explore show the suffering of animals is exploited to created huge profits, and urges readers instead to redirect their donations to the Anti-Cruelty Society or other local animal care centers.

An award winning former Chicago City Hall political reporter, Hanania also writes this week in his syndicated column about how both President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump have excluded independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., from the presidential debates in June and September.

Biden and Trump are circumventing the National Debate Commission, which makes the public its priority, to prevent RFK from receiving publicity. RFK is siphoning votes away from both Biden, who is trailing in the polls, and Trump who is on trial facing numerous corruption charges.

Summary of some columns by Ray Hanania for the week of May 15 2024

 

Kennedy’s problem is he has poor news media, relies on biased social media platforms to try to spread his message, and is afraid to do interviews with media who question his policies.

 

American voters are stuck with poor choices going in to the Nov. 5, 2024 presidential election, candidates who are more concerned about their own images rather than the issues facing the public including rising inflation and a weak economy rising crime, and the continued funding of foreign wars using taxpayer money that could off-set domestic challenges including challenges facing seniors, families,  veterans and the homeless.

Hanania posts up to eight columns each week including a weekly column on regional issues for the Southwest News Newspaper chain, and for the Arab News Newspaper, the leading English language newspaper in the Gulf and Middle East. Hanania also publishes columns on a wide range of issues from politics to social issues on his syndication subscription page at www.RayHanania.com or www.Hanania.com.

Subscriptions to Hanania’s columns are only $65 a year.

“American journalism is a hot mess, broken by the intrusion of political influence on reporting. Oftentimes reporters, who are supposed to address issues objectively, instead spin stories to reflect their political agendas or the agendas of the corporations that own them,” Hanania said.

“What you see and read is what you get from me. I write the truth, as I see it, with no spin. I won’t hold back on topics and I challenge the high, the mighty and the media, too. Readers both love and hate my writings, but they always know that what they read reflects my personal beliefs founded in more than 45 years of professional journalist. I am going to fight for the truth, even if it hurts.”

In other columns this week, Hanania writes about why taxpayer’s should not be forced to underwrite, again, the construction of a new stadium for the Chicago Bears. And he offers insight into how the meaning of Mother’s Day is being impacted by broadening efforts to blur the lines between “Mothers” and “Fathers.”
