The American Media Should Not Be Trusted

[Doc]

Fox absolutely criticized Trump.  Look no further than Chris Wallace every Sunday, Sheppard Smith, Neil Cavuto and (formerly, since he's gone) Juan Williams or whatever Dem filled-in for him on "The Five" every night.

#JOURNALISM: 

“We are told by the powers that be – that approximately 6,000 to 7,000 American citizens were rescued by daring efforts of the U.S. State Department and U.S. military in evacuations from Kabul airport. Okay, fair enough… that’s a good outcome. Happy to hear it; we can debate the other 116,000 at a later time.

 

However, it seems a little odd now that there’s no videos of the survivors of the Afghan crisis arriving at airports. No crowds or families greeting the extracted American residents; no human interest stories and local broadcasted news coverage of relieved Americans, husbands, wives, daughters or sons arriving back in their hometown…. nothing.

 

Six to seven thousand Americans saved from the clutches of the Taliban, and not a single story of those Americans arriving home to the waiting arms of their loving family.”

This is horrendous- the families of the men killed because Biden is incompetent state that Biden was checking his watch during the ceremony. The USA Today, Politifacts, and others call them liars. The "news" base their accusation on limited video of what occurred there. Now they admit the families were right and google is making it difficult to find the initial posts from Politifacts and USA today. This is absurd because the fact check, once again, is the lie.

Truth is "fact checking" is a polite term for censorship.  Anything that conflicts with the consensus view of experts or the censor's disposition on the topic is false.  Which logically is absurd.  It assumes they somehow know all absolute truth and facts.  More BS.  As most censors are clueless idiots motivated by politics or some ideology.  The idea that critical thinking, discovery, investigation, and additional knowledge can change the known facts and conclusions is somehow lost. 

 

Go back several hundred years.  The expert view was the Earth was flat, all objects in the Solar System revolved around the Earth, and the Earth was the center of the Universe.  Somebody posts a tweet the the Earth is a sphere, all the planets revolve around the Sun, and the Earth is not the center of the Universe.  The poster's account is suspended and labeled as "This is mis-information that conflicts with the prevailing expert consensus view".

I am not disagreeing but this to me is especially heinous- calling a grieving family a bunch of liars when you have not done the research. Also the media lied about doing the research.

THE HORROR: CONSERVATIVE EXPERTS CRITICIZE BIDEN ON LIBERAL CABLE OUTLETS

 

The Washington Post is upset that cable news channels invited former high-level defense and national security officials to discuss the Afghanistan debacle. Among those whom the Post questions whether we should have heard from are two former National Security Advisors (H.R. McMaster and John Bolton), a former commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan and architect of the successful surge in Iraq, (David Petraeus), a former Secretary of Defense (Leon Panetta)

Unfortunately not new. While watching history channel or something recently I learned the media was banned from publishing anything about the 400+ Cargo vessels sunk of the coast of Cape Hatteras, NC by German u boats. 
 

apparently the shelf is so close to land there it was a great spot to fire torpedoes form and then go hide. 
 

The government wouldn’t even call for coastal blackouts or killing the running lights which made the cargo ships more visible at night.

Reporter asks Jen Psaki about Texas women looking to the White House for a ‘Hail Mary’ intervention to protect abortions

 

There’s so much wrong with this. We’ve all been assured that President Joe Biden is a devout Catholic, so maybe it makes sense to ask about Texas women who are looking to the White House for a “Hail Mary” intervention in order to protect abortion. It’s a bad question to begin with and the phrasing makes it even worse. The reporter in question was ABC News’ Cecilia Vega.

Would they write the same kind of blase headline were say, Stacey Abrams, attacked by a white wearing a gorilla mask?

 

The question answers itself. 

 

 

[Doc]

The agenda is so transparent, isn't it?

[B-Man]

 

[B-Man]

 

TODAY’S MEDIA PUZZLER: When isn’t it racist for a protester in gorilla mask to throw eggs at black candidate?

 

Answer: When the black candidate is a Republican, and the protester is a progressive. Had the affiliations been the other way around in this encounter caught on video, the media would have feasted on it for weeks, and reporters would have demanded answers for it from every GOP candidate for office.

 

However, since it happened to my friend and Salem Radio colleague Larry Elder while walking through progressive Los Angeles, the media instead reported it as a “hostile confrontation.” Watch the video and judge for yourselves. The egg attack comes from the right side of the screen:

* * * * * * * *

Now imagine if this had happened to a black Democrat touring a suburban district or the Central Valley. Would ABC and the LA Times retreat to passive voice in that instance? Would the New York Times bury it in the 14th paragraph of an election round-up? Nonsense. It would be headline news in every national news outlet, and people would be screaming at prosecutors to charge the woman with a hate crime.

Look at this drivel from the WAPO.

 

U.S. will require most new immigrants to get coronavirus vaccine

 

Quote

The measure goes into effect on Oct. 1. Most people applying to become a permanent resident in the United States are required to receive the immigration medical examination “to show they are free from any conditions that would render them inadmissible under the health-related grounds,” according to USCIS.

 

 

Oh, BTW, the hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants streaming across the southern border every month are all applying for asylum status... and one cannot apply for permanent residency until one year after the asylum request has been granted. What pure garbage this paper has become, such a shame as a now 36 year subscriber.

 

BTW, the reporter is bylined on almost every Covid related story as it affects the US...and is based in Seoul...yes, Seoul..now that is some boots on the ground, sourced based reporting! 

 

https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/09/15/us-immigrants-coronavirus-vaccine/

 

Quote

The United States will require new immigrants to be fully vaccinated against the coronavirus as part of its routine medical examination, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services announced on Tuesday.

The measure goes into effect on Oct. 1. Most people applying to become a permanent resident in the United States are required to receive the immigration medical examination “to show they are free from any conditions that would render them inadmissible under the health-related grounds,” according to USCIS.

The headline is factually incorrect. The reason the guy had to go out of the area is he needed a high level heart support hospital, Covid is unrelated to his needing to leave area.

"In the last 15 years, less than 0.01% of print features and critical pieces [in The New Yorker] were edited by a Black editor."

 

"More women were able to publish profiles in the magazine between 1925 and 1935 than between 1990 and 2000. And over the last 30 years, spanning 1990 to 2020, zero reviews of cinema, the fine arts, or classical music were published by either women or writers of color....  Erin Overbey, the magazine's own archive editor [tweeted]: "Let's talk about racism! Most white people at prestigious magazines don't ever want to talk about race or diversity at all. Why? It's primarily because they've been allowed to exist in a world where their mastheads resemble member registries at Southern country clubs circa 1950."

From "A 'New Yorker' Editor Dug For Diversity Stats. She Calls The Results 'Passive Racism'" (NPR).

This strikes me as very odd. I subscribe to The New Yorker and read it all the time, and I had the impression that the magazine was going out of its way to bring in black writers and women writers.
