The American Media Should Not Be Trusted

You’re right - this tweet should have went into the Trump is unfit for office thread.

 

 

 

 

It’s puzzling to me that you’re more worried about an American citizen giving advice to an elected official than you are about elected officials giving daily talking points to the American media. You’re going to do just fine in the Peoples Republic of America.

Reminder that, five years ago, the New York Times published images of murder effigies of Trump staffers and then spent the next four years crowing about "divisive rhetoric" and advocating for mass banning on social media platforms.

I actually have a hard time believing this is real- they stand by the story even though everyone actually involved in the story said they were wrong. Please someone explain how this is not proper at this point?

 

 

 

So there's layers to this that can be concisely summed up as "NPR is fake news."  If you want more, read on.

 

Ms. Totenberg, and by extension NPR, gambled big with this story. The USSC is one of the more closed-off public-facing institutions in the USG. They DO NOT leak. And as a rule they do not respond to fake news about them. Remember the Lin Wood schizo-degenerative breakdown? When he accused the Chief ***** Justice of being a pedophile? The Supreme Court didn't even respond to that. You can lie your ass off about Supreme Court justices and they will never dignify your lie with a response. So this seemed like a decent gamble: toss in your $10,000 (Gorsuch defies masking request, a lie) to win $100 (clout, a name, etc.), it's a sure thing.

 

Well that blew up in their faces. Gorsuch, Sotomayor, and the Chief Justice all issued statements flatly denying that such a thing took place (and they probably hate that they did, the press office of the USSC usually handles all statements and they don't do it often, I think they had like 20 press releases in all of 2021). So now NPR retreats with a broader angle: oh, that story was meant to be illustrative of the broader point which, by the way, the Supreme Court hasn't denied. NPR knows that the justices are unlikely to speak on the issue again because finding out whether or not they all get along is a specious and irrelevant pursuit. And so yes, they haven't denied the "broader point" of the original story, but they wouldn't regardless of its truthfulness. Which is why even the response, as well as the story, is fake news.

Protection Racket: ABC, CBS and NBC Hide Latest Hunter Biden Bombshell

by Scott Whitlock

 

Showing that they will never change or truly “turn” on Joe Biden, the networks are ignoring the latest Hunter Biden bombshell and how it might ensnare his president dad. All of this is particularly relevant as questions continue to be raised about Joe Biden’s toughness in questioning China over the origin of COVID. Fox News, unlike, ABC, CBS and NBC on Friday, reported on the latest scandal. Here’s Dana Perino on America’s Newsroom: “New e-mails obtained exclusively by Fox Business show Hunter Biden, along with a former aide to then-Vice President Biden invested in Chinese companies with close ties to top officials in the communist government.”

It's not that they are covering it up. It's just if it doesn't contain any blow or sex its not that newsworthy.

Oh, and since the media was "lying" about covid, Sarah Palin's --ROTFLMAO!!!--positive covid test is pretty funny

 

https://www.cnbc.com/2022/01/24/-unvaccinated-sarah-palin-positive-for-covid-before-ny-times-defamation-trial.html

 

Former Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin tested positive for Covid, and is unvaccinated, a federal judge told a courtroom.

The positive coronavirus test by the one-time Alaska governor led to the postponement of the scheduled start of a trial for Palin’s civil defamation lawsuit against The New York Times.

Palin in March disclosed that she had been diagnosed then with the coronavirus, and recently said that she will get a Covid-19 vaccine “over my dead body.”

She sued the Times and its former editorial page editor for allegedly damaging her reputation with a 2017 editorial linking her PAC’s ad to the shooting of Rep. Gabby Giffords.

What is making you laugh here?   That Sarah Palin was infected by a novel virus that likely originated in a lab in China, has infected hundreds of thousands of people, or that many Americans—of all political stripes—-are apparently unwilling to trust the government and it’s response to a virus they apparently had a hand in developing?

You betcha!

All this crowing about "free press" while the WH basically conducts state media sessions and their favorite news stations openly employ "former" spooks and military intelligence. 

I know, what free press, right? Time to go full China, huh? Then you will be happy

So, you’re laughing because she got the virus because she may not have gotten the booster shot?  
 

That seems odd, given that the virus spreads to the vaccinated and boosted.  
 

At the same time, the science dudes now seem to suggest  someone like Sarah Palin will likely be in a much better position to fight the virus in the future than someone like you or me.   
 

Btw, I can’t say for sure in Sara Plain’s case, but it seems likely that the Biden approach to marketing vaxx and booster is a huge part of the problem.  CDC numbers indicate nearly 37% of Americans have not received the booster shot.  This is a stunning indictment of the admin and has nothing at all to do

with SP, other than she doesn’t trust what they say it would seem.

That’s not what you said though.  Did you forget what you wrote?  
 

I think in this case, big picture, she’s actually a better citizen than those who got vaxxed and boosted, assuming of course she gets past COVID unscathed.  
 

There is likely only a 99+% chance of that occurring, multiple comorbidities notwithstanding.
 

prayers up of course. #loveall#respectall

So why did so many American mainstream media outlets IGNORE a reputable university's study that lockdowns didn't work?

New York Times, Washington Post, ABC, NBC and CBS all failed to run the story because they 'have their own narrative written'

by Melissa Koenig. 

 

 

 

Mainstream liberal news has largely ignored a new study showing that COVID lockdowns had virtually no effect on stopping COVID-19—because they 'already have their own narrative written', according to the study's author. A review by three respected economists from Johns Hopkins University, Lund University in Sweden and the Danish think-tank the Center for Political Studies, found that restrictions imposed in the spring of 2020—including stay-at-home orders, masks mandates and social distancing—only reduced COVID mortality by 0.2 percent.(Snip)But the study was largely ignored by mainstream American media outlets, with just DailyMail.com, the Wall Street Journal, Fortune and the Washington Times publicizing it.

Gangel said she received calls from four members of the congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol “who felt devastated for our democracy” now that Zucker has exited CNN.

 

This is buried in like paragraph twenty, but why would congresscritters think that a corporate shill being fired for conducting an inappropriate sexual relationship is devastating for "our democracy?"
