THE NEW YORK TIMES NEVER DISAPPOINTS!

There’s a joke from way back in the 1980s about how the major media would report the announcement that the world is going to end tomorrow.

The Wall Street Journal’s headline would say, “World Ending Tomorrow; Markets to Close Early.” 

USA Today’s headline would say, “World Ending Tomorrow, but We’ll Grin and Bear It.”

And the New York Times headline would say: “World Ending Tomorrow: Women and Minorities Hardest Hit.”

 

Lo and behold, here is a real New York Times headline from two days ago:

Screen-Shot-2020-01-19-at-8.58.26-PM.png

 

It’s like they’re trying to put the Babylon Bee out of business or something.

 

Meanwhile, the Times has announced its endorsement for president. Big surprise: they have endorsed a Democrat. As they have for the last 50+ years. But wait—they’ve actually endorsed two Democrats: Amy Klobuchar and Elizabeth Warren. The Times is calling it a “break with convention,” but it is exactly the opposite: clearly they cannot endorse a white male, no matter how experienced or qualified. Nothing is more conventional for liberalism today than the default to identity politics.

 

The Times endorsement essay offers some wonderful comedy writing, such as: “Senator Warren is a gifted storyteller.” Did no one at the Times pause for a moment to ponder how true this is?

 

And this passage about Klobuchar is fun: “Reports of how Senator Klobuchar treats her staff give us pause. They raise serious questions about her ability to attract and hire talented people.” Well, New York Times editorial writers obviously don’t have to worry about finding out first hand.

Speculation:

 

I haven't, however, seen the name of the man who did die.

Guess our friends in the traditional media are starting to see the writing on the wall in that House Democrats have failed to build any case that would remove Trump from office because BOY HOWDY, they are really working hard with their ‘anonymous sources’ to find new outrageous things to accuse the president of doing.

 

Currently #TakeHerOut and #HeadOnAPike are both trending.

 

We’re not even kidding.

 

All they had to do was not be insane …

Too bad there wasn't a straight razor in his hand.

Little known fact: That's the same signal George would give Epstein with regards to the child who had massaged him once it was over. :ph34r:

Trump on Yovanovitch ouster: 'I have a right to hire and fire ambassadors'

President Trump told Fox News' "The Ingraham Angle" in an exclusive interview Friday that he did not instruct indicted Rudy Giuliani business associate Lev Parnas to engineer the removal of Marie Yovanovitch from the post of U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine, but added: "I have a right to hire and fire ambassadors."

"Were you relying on Lev Parnas to get rid of your Ambassador [Yovanovitch?" Raymond Arroyo asked Trump.

"No, no, but I have a lot of people and he's somebody that I guess, based on pictures that I see, goes to fundraisers," the president said of Parnas, before adding: "But I am not a fan of that ambassador."

 

The president was responding to an ABC report which claimed Trump told a group that included Parnas and his associate Igor Fruman in April 2018 that he wanted Yovanovitch removed "tomorrow."

 

"Get rid of her!" Trump purportedly told the group during a recorded dinner conversation. "Get her out tomorrow. I don't care. Get her out tomorrow. Take her out. OK? Do it."

"But were you telling Parnas to get rid of her?" Arroyo asked. "I mean, you have a State Department."

Worth repeating, with today's constant complaints that the media is "under attack"

 

 

Reminder: not only does the First Amendment not give you protection from criticism, it helps ensure it happens.

That wasn't my take on this article at all.   It was a lengthy defense for their Russia reporting, because everything that has been uncovered since the original story ran, has actually been a huge Russia disinformation campaign that started in 2015 & 2016 to try to shift the blame to Ukraine. 

 

You see it wasn't the DEM operatives who fell for Russian disinformation about Trump, it was Trump's team that fell for Russian disinformation that Ukraine was behind all of the shenanigans.

I mean -- I understand misspeaking on air while reading a prompter, but I don't know how you mistakenly say a hard N when you're trying for a soft LA. 

 

 

MSNBC in a nutshell. 


She will be out of a job.

I’m not with you on this one.  My assumption is she erroneously started to say “Los Angeles Nicks”, realized she was screwing up big time and attempted a correction that ended horribly.

It's MSNBC.  The talking head didn't really say the Los Angeles N*ggers.  The Russians hacked their feed and Deep Faked her voice.  And anyone who disagrees is colluding with the Russians
