Carlson compared journalists to the North Korean gymnastics team on Kim Il Song day, moving as one. To illustrate his point, Carlson plays clips of reporters across various networks repeating the same line over and over again with the buzzwords “truth, science, and transparency.” //

Watching the people whose jobs it is to report objective truth and tell the stories that we need to hear literally giggling and nearly becoming weepy over being handed a cup of coffee by the President is nauseating because we can see right before our eyes our reporters telling us they’re not going to give us the real story.

They love Democrats and they especially love the Bidens like they love their grandparents. We can see these journalists effectively saying they’re going to protect them. They won’t let them down.

Wow, what coincidental timing.

The story claiming that a police officer was murdered by Trump supporters during the Capitol Hill protest on January 6 is, for all practical purposes, retracted by the NYT the day after Pres. Trump is acquitted on the impeachment charge of having instigated those protests — which were declared by Democrats and the media an “insurrection” against the government. //

Was Officer Sicknick beaten or wasn’t he? Three individuals died from medical emergencies and one person was shot and killed by Capitol Hill Police. So Officer Sicknick was the other person “killed by hostile action.”

But the truth is that the NYT no longer has any interest in the truth of what actually happened to Officer Sicknick. The story can no longer be wielded as a political weapon against Donald Trump, and that was the entire purpose of the exercise from the beginning.

Yes – he said things. Those journalists who likened themselves to firefighters or the soldiers storming the beaches of Normandy were sure rendered by spoken words. It was the common theme throughout his administration, that Donald Trump was ‘’attacking’’ the free press. While true that he had stern words and harsh criticisms for the media – frequently in non-Presidential fashion – what were his actions, exactly? //

Funny how the journalists threatened with censorship never manage to shut up about it. But while the press loves to go on about how oppressed they were under President Trump we are seeing disturbing examples of calls to limit expression and clamp down on specific outlets — from the press.

When the accused tyrant Donald Trump had multiple accounts shut down (in ironically tyrannical fashion) you had Alexander Nazaryan proposing extending a blacklist to include a number of journalists with whom he disagrees.

At ABC News Rick Klein ominously proposed that it was not enough that Trump was not reelected. ”Getting rid of Trump is the easy part. Cleansing the movement he commands is going to be something else.’’ //

And over at CNN Oliver Darcy is diligently lobbying cable providers and satellite networks such as Comcast and Direct TV to take down his competitive news networks. He is actively calling to have FoxNews, Newsmax, and OANN removed from channel packages.

All of this greatly exceeds any action we saw from President Trump regarding the press. //

When the very people accusing President Trump of dangerous attacks are engaging in activities which are far more threatening we are falling into a rabbit hole where fewer things make sense anymore.

It is a safe bet that virtually any op-ed on China or Iran or a few other foreign countries appearing in any of the major outlets is the product of a foreign intelligence service, and the outlet serving it up has a good idea that is the case. They do it because they are fundamentally disloyal to the nation and dismissive of normal Americans who they think are too stupid to understand much of anything…though, for the life of me, I’ve never understood how anyone with a journalism degree was ever able to convince themselves that they were an intellectual elite.

Critics have said the CDC fumbled key decisions on COVID because the Trump administration meddled in the agency’s operations. But @Reuters has found evidence that the response was marred by actions – or inaction – by career scientists and frontline staff https://reut.rs/3paHCES //

I am continually perplexed by the childishness of adults on the left. They still read comic books, they watch superhero movies, they play video games, spend hours on social media, ride skateboards and bicycles, defer marriage and family until mid to late thirties or forties, and hold the belief that the insulated fantasy world of the university socialist cocoon should be social reality for everyone.

One of the most irritating things children do is exaggerate and overstate everything. If something is good, it's the best thing ever. If they don't like it, it is akin to Hitler. If someone makes them mad or hurts their feelings, they never want to see them again and hope something bad happens to them in return. Allowing them to do it for long allows them to develop a childish view of society as a binary proposition from scalp to sole. Everyone wears a white hat or a black hat. They are moral or they are evil. They are good or they are bad, college educated or stupid, oppressor or oppressed, ally or enemy, conservative or human. This is the binary world they wish to create, and are creating, where there is no nuance or subtlety, no neutrality allowed about anything, and where you are either an asset to the collective to be used or you are an obstacle to it to be eliminated. And so the ideological violator is not just wrong, he is evil, and the evil become fair game. And here we are. //

Trusting the government to get things right is always foolish. Just because the bureaucrats were 'scientists' from the CDC in this case doesn't make them any more competent. Governments are force, markets are competition. Without competition you can always expect incompetence. //

People in prisons, of course. It's part of their punishment for violent crimes.

While journalists and news outlets love to claim they are holding people accountable in their reporting, one detail always overlooked is their own accountability. Those who hold judgement are above being judged, goes their thinking. This leads to odd results frequently, such as when the press manages to defy the very mandates they have called to be imposed on others.

It never fails to amuse when the self-appointed authorities cannot keep their own positions straight, and throughout the past year there have been numerous instances where the media managed to contradict their own positions.

CNN's Fareed Zakaria Lets Out 'Dirty Little Secret' They Hid About Trump
By Nick Arama | Jan 01, 2021 10:30 PM ET

CNN
Now that the media thinks that President Donald Trump will be leaving office, they’re admitting things they never would have admitted otherwise.

CNN for example pushed all kinds of fake news against Trump for four years, suggesting all kinds of connections to Russia that weren’t real and pushing the Russia collusion hoax.

But today, on CNN’s New Day, Fareed Zakaria, revealed the network’s “dirty little secret” about the president.

First, he spread nonsense about how he thought Joe Biden would get us “engaged again” around the world. Like how Biden was engaged in Ukraine and China? Or how the Obama coddled Iran and failed to do anything about Russia or North Korea? President Donald Trump actually had real constructive contact, not just talk and bending over for our enemies.

When he was asked about how Russia policy would change if Biden came in, Zakaria dropped the truth about Trump.

From Newsbusters:

“I think in general, there isn’t going to be as much difference as people imagine. The Biden folks are pretty tough on Russia, Iran, North Korea. You know, the dirty little secret about the Trump administration was that while Donald Trump had clearly had a kind of soft spot for Putin, the Trump Administration was pretty tough on the Russians. They armed Ukraine, they armed the Poles. They extended NATO operations and exercises in ways that even the Obama Administration had not done. They maintained the sanctions. So I don’t think it will be that different.”

So as Newsbusters notes, who were the people that kept all that a secret? It was CNN and their liberal brethren in media, as they tried to suggest things other than the truth.

Add to that Trump was the one who dropped bombs on Russians, killing a few hundred in Syria. Remember how media mocked Trump about his interest in Greenland? But that very interest showed how far thinking Trump was about trying to head off Russia’s aims in the region. He wanted position there to check them if need be.

But the liberal media never really cared about the facts, just the narrative. So for four years we heard all kinds of stories suggesting Trump was a Russian agent. You can still see Democrats spreading this nonsense to this day and many still think so, even though it’s been debunked.

If they actually cared about who really seemed in the pocket of the Russians, the irony of ironies was, it was never Trump.

Compare to the Obama/Biden administration, which never seemed to really check the Russians, even after they claimed “Russian interference.” Indeed they did everything that seemed to help the Russians, from making the deal with Iran (Russia’s connection in the region), not arming Ukraine (and Obama personally making sure they were disarmed to begin with), killing American pipelines, not checking Russia in the Arctic. In all things, Obama was strangely “flexible” for Russia. Perhaps it was not strange then that it was to Russian disinformation that the Democrats appealed to try to take down Trump in 2016. Imagine what the Democrats would have done to Trump if he had that hot mic moment that Obama had with Putin’s stand-in Dmitry Medvedev. Trump would have been impeached by the Democrats in a red-hot minute. Obama? He got a pass.

But media never gave Trump credit for all he has done, even with stunning historic achievements in the Middle East and in the development of the vaccines at the fastest rate in history. Everything he did do, they downplayed, spun to a negative or if they couldn’t do that, just ignored. It’s why yes, there was interference in this election. It was by the media, who did all they could to hurt Trump and help the Democrats

“What is so disconcerting about this particular situation is that the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence really should have been spending a lot of time on this threat. That’s kind of what they exist for,” Hemingway said. “But every time in the previous years that Devin Nunes or Republicans tried to focus on China, the hearings were hijacked by Democrats, whether it was Swalwell or [Rep. Adam] Schiff, to talk about Russia and the Russia collusion hoax.”

So not only are they saying they wouldn’t cover it, but they’re also talking about how they’ll try to spin the scandal, to make it about Trump rather than about Biden and how there’s a “media story,” how dare the New York Times Maggie Haberman and Politico’s Jake Sherman actually retweet this news.

...Darcy calls for every tweet by Trump to be labeled as disinformation while asking “and why stop there?” Precisely. Once you cross the Rubicon of speech regulation, there is little reason or inclination to stop. //

What is chilling about Darcy’s writings is that they reflect the view of many now in Congress and in the Democratic Party. Indeed, they reflect many in the Biden campaign. Once a party that fought for free speech, it has become the party demanding Internet censorship and hate speech laws. President-Elect Joe Biden has called for speech controls and recently appointed a transition head for agency media issues that is one of the most pronounced anti-free speech figures in the United States. It is a trend that seems now to be find support in the media, which celebrated the speech of French President Emmanuel Macron before Congress where he called on the United States to follow the model of Europe on hate speech.

Of course, what Darcy considers “disinformation” or what Blumenthal considers “robust content modification” is left dangerously undefined.

CNN has a breaking story out of China where documents have been acquired which reveal that the Chinese communist government authorities have not been honest in their reporting of the crisis within their country. The documents show that the Chi-Com leaders were intentionally downplaying the crisis and deceptively underreporting the figures they were dealing with on the Mainland. //

As this is their own BREAKING report you understand the grave delivery and urgency in the presentation, but what is also unmistakable is the tone of surprise, as if this is somehow a new revelation to things. The idea that the communist leadership was not being completely transparent with numerous aspects of the outbreak has been long seen, but CNN has been part of the cabal of news agencies which have taken a more defensive posture in its approach to how that government had been responding.

“The holier-than-thou hypocrisy of big media companies who lay claim to the truth, but publish only enough to sugarcoat the lie, is why the public no longer respects them,” Musk tweeted in May 2018. //

The NYT dos not have sovereignty over information, and it is not their place to decide what is true and false, nor is to control what is said, where it is said, and by whom. The tech community has a message: The New York Times Company does not reserve the right to speak first, nor does it reserve the right to speak last

The media is attempting to make Joe Biden out to be some historic leader at every turn, and one of the latest “historic” things he’s doing is appointing nothing but women to the top of his White House press staff.

It’s too bad Trump already did that, but this is going completely ignored by the media.

According to the Washington Post, the Biden administration is putting nothing but women in the top spots of his press staff and, as the Post reports, it is “the first time that all of the top aides tasked with speaking on behalf of an administration and shaping its message will be female.” //

Being a Republican woman doesn’t count for them.

Trump has the Democrats/Media cabal (DMC) on the run…literally. He controls the news cycle. Every Sunday Morning, he decides what the DMC is going to be outraged about for the upcoming week. Then he tweets out that outrageous spark and that starts the news cycle for the week.

The head of a media watchdog organization says the media’s failure to cover eight stories may be the reason President Donald Trump lost the election.

“The media can talk all day long about Donald Trump and all day long about things that he’s doing wrong,” Brent Bozell, founder and president of the Media Research Center, said on a call Tuesday unveiling a poll the center commissioned, “Special Report: The Stealing of the Presidency, 2020.”

“It is absolutely unequivocal, the evidence that it was the national news movement that deliberately, and I underscore deliberately, made it a point not to tell the public about these stories that nobody can question,” Bozell said. “And now we’re showing the evidence that it cost Donald Trump the election.” //

The eight themes included three negative ones about the Biden-Harris ticket, including Sen. Kamala Harris’ liberal viewpoints and the sexual assault allegation former Vice President Joe Biden faced, and five positive stories about the Trump administration, including 33.1% economic growth and the Middle East peace deals.

In whole, the survey found that 17% of people who cast their ballot for Biden “would have changed their vote if they had been aware of one or more of these important stories,” according to Noyes. //

Kamala Harris’ liberal viewpoints and the sexual assault allegation former Vice President Joe Biden faced, and five positive stories about the Trump administration, including 33.1% economic growth and the Middle East peace deals.

Biden voters were asked if they were aware of issues like Kamala Harris’s liberal voting record, Trump Middle East peace deals, Hunter Biden’s scandals and more. //

A new report from the Media Research Center shows that the media’s lack of coverage and big tech’s suppression of certain issues and scandals surrounding Democratic Presidential Nominee Joe Biden could have cost President Donald Trump the election.

The survey results report that 17 percent of Biden voters would not have voted for the Biden-Harris presidential ticket if they had known about at least one of the eight news stories that were suppressed by big tech and mainstream media outlets. //

Some of these topics include former Biden staffer Tara Reade and her sexual assault allegations against Biden, the Hunter Biden scandal, VP Nominee Kamala Harris’s extreme liberal voting record in the Senate, the U.S.’s economic jump in the third quarter, millions of jobs added, America’s energy independence, Operation Warp Speed successes, and Trump’s facilitation of multiple peace deals in the Middle East. //

nearly half of all Biden voters polled, 49 percent, said they were unaware of the U.S.’s remarkable economic recovery in the third quarter, doubling the previous record.

One in six Biden voters polled, 17 percent, said they would have changed their vote had they been aware of these stories. The report also found that without even voting for Trump and simply refusing to vote for Biden, “these voters would have handed all six of these states, and a second term, to the president if the news media had properly informed them about the two candidates.”

Just as the case is with all the articles touting the coronavirus vaccine’s reported effectiveness, we’re finding out the truth about the lack of a factual basis for indoor gathering limits because it would appear that it would take a miracle for Trump to win the election at this point.

Now that it looks all but impossible for him to do that, the media are doing all the pillow plumping they can for the Biden campaign (and Democrats in general) by making it so by the time Biden-Harris take office – assuming they are certified next month – the media can paint them as the heroes of the pandemic, make it appear as though we’ve turned the corner in January, things can get back to normal soon, yada yada – just as they’ve (baselessly) done with NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

Though this is some stellar reporting from the NY Times, they don’t get a cookie here for telling us what most of us have long suspected. People should be infuriated over how they didn’t bother to dig into the data on small gatherings until after the election. Was it purely coincidental? Don’t count on it.

this crosstab graphic shows a full two-thirds of registered voters think some voter fraud occurred in their state. //

In all, 81 percent of Trump supporters believe there was enough fraud to influence the election, with only a paltry 3 percent of Biden supporters agreeing. But, interestingly, 59 percent of Biden supporters think fraud DID occur.
