YESTERDAY’S SUNDAY NEW YORK TIMES IS A MODEL OF DISPASSIONATE OBJECTIVITY:

As Glenn has been saying recently, think of the press as a psychological warfare operation aimed at normal Americans and you won’t go far wrong.

 

When does the Times’ young staffers go all-in and form Rob Long’s “New York Times Autonomous Zone?”

Fox News ‘Regrets’ Cropping Trump Out of Photo With Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell

The group photo was taken in February 2000 at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort

Fox News Crops Donald Trump Jeffrey Epstein Ghislane Maxwell
 
In a statement on Monday, Fox News said, “On Sunday, July 5, a report on Ghislaine Maxwell during Fox News Channel’s ‘America’s News HQ’ mistakenly eliminated President Donald Trump from a photo alongside then Melania Knauss, Jeffrey Epstein and Maxwell. We regret the error.”

Too many douche bags for one photo.  Little did they know that despite leaving the pedos and human traffickers in the image they still managed to remove the biggest douche from the frame.

Maybe you should try reading the Bible instead of cutting and pasting all of this crap.  The Bible only works if you use it.

Can the media actually lie, when they're the self-appointed arbiters of what is true?

Yes.  OAN and Fox News do it all the time.

Sure and the rest are reporting honestly and without bias.  :lol:

 

For those on the left, reports that they don't agree with = lies. 

 

That's not to say that right leaning media are always honest and without bias, but let's call balls and strikes.

FTA:

So this was a hit and run that ended with the black assailant in custody within minutes of the event.

 

All relevant facts were immediately available. 

 

So how does ABC describe the event:

 

 

 

It’s almost as if the worthless scum in the news media want to fan the flames of the riots. 

 

As Greg Gutfeld commented, “”luxury car.” you know they discussed how to adjust this narrative when it didn’t fit the game plan.

Le sigh... Fox is not pro-Trump. No matter how many times people want to chant that they are. There are sites that clock all the positive and negative story minutes on the network news stations. The last one I saw (over a year ago), Fox was 52% negative on Trump/Trump administration, 48% positive.  Now, while that makes Fox fairly close to evenhanded, 52% negative stories is not pro-Trump. (If you want a pro-Trump network, try OAN.)

One site that checks Trump coverage.
An older Harvard study.
 

 

That's not how it works with the left.  A news organization that runs anything less than 100% negative stories on Trump, is pro-Trump.

BIAS BY OMISSION: Selective Media Reporting Further Fuels Our Racial Divide.

On Saturday, a man drove his car onto a Seattle freeway that had been closed by a Black Lives Matter crowd. The driver killed one person and seriously injured another after going the wrong way up a ramp and then around a barricade. Reports noted that police “don’t believe impairment was a factor.” Over the weekend, news outlets replayed the brutal hit, but there’s one thing you won’t learn from their coverage: The driver was black and his victims were white.

 

 

NPR linked this attack to other car-ramming incidents by “right-wing extremists targeting Black Lives Matter protesters.” They quote a researcher about how these right-wingers were “trying to intimidate the most recent wave of BLM protesters, to stop their movement.”

 

The driver was a Seattle local named Dawit Kelete. But you’ll find scant mention of the driver’s ethnicity in mainstream media coverage. You might have more easily learned that Kelete was black by going to the Australia Broadcasting Corporation. The American national media also doesn’t note that Kelete’s two victims were white. You can find that out over at the U.K.’s Daily Mail.

 

Read the whole thing.

Kemp will have a hard time topping this whopper today.

 

 

But I have faith in his TDS, he can go wilder.

The Media and 2020: Deja vu All Over Again



Some things never change for the mainstream media. After being blindsided by the results of the 2016 election, the New York Times and other media outlets professed that they would make a concerted effort to be more introspective. They claimed they would try to better understand Trump’s appeal that won over the hearts and minds of so many of the 63 million people who voted for him.

 

As Michael Barboro wrote in the Times on November 9th, 2016, the morning of Trump’s historic victory, “It’s 3:30 a.m. in the newsroom, and we’re in a state of shock. Donald J. Trump, against what we thought were all odds, collected swing state after swing state after swing state. Hillary Clinton has conceded the race. Mr. Trump has won. How did he pull off such a stunning victory? How did almost no one -- not the pundits, not the pollsters, not us in the media -- see it coming?”

 

Well, here we are, nearly four years later, and the media and the so-called “intellectual elites” have learned absolutely nothing from 2016. They have not even attempted to try to answer the most fundamental questions that Barboro posed. Instead they have fully committed themselves to their ritualistic practice of hatred and antagonism towards the president and his supporters in an attempt to influence the outcome of the 2020 election.

 

Over the past few months, the New York Times and the Washington Post scorned those who wanted to reopen their businesses after investing their entire livelihood into them, because they realized that destroying the Trump economy would hurt him at the polls in November.

Never mind that the Stonewall raid wasn't directed at the gay community, but a police take-down of mob store fronts.  Gay bars were the perfect setting for money laundering & drug interactions.

 

The gays were collateral damage of the Stonewall raid, and used the opportunity to lash out at years of oppression and discriminatory laws.

Behind the Media's Breathtakingly Dishonest Coverage

by Michael Barone

 

Original Article

 

"I don't think I've ever seen such dishonest and biased coverage of any event." That was Brit Hume, who has been covering events for more than 50 years for Fox News, ABC News and investigative reporter Jack Anderson.

 

The event, as you may have guessed, was President Donald Trump's Independence (without the scare-quotes) Day speech at Mount Rushmore. The speech was, according to The New York Times, a "dark and divisive speech" designed to deliver a "divisive culture war message."

USA Today claims Trump campaign shirts feature ‘Nazi symbol’, trips SPECTACULARLY over actual American symbol

Print media is dying... a slow death, but dying none the less.
 
 

“The paper wanted so desperately to have a ‘true’ associated with a Trump/Nazi controversy that they ‘fact-checked’ the existence of the controversy, not whether or not the image was Nazi related. Pathetic.” 

 

The “Worth noting” self-own is a nice touch, however.
