Title: If you think MSM journalism isn't rigged... FAKE NEWS is the MSM!
Post by: Psalm 51:17 on September 17, 2012, 10:46:02 pm
This 2 minute "interview" just says it all...apparently, it looked like the whole thing was staged to begin with, until someone messed up their part in the script(or someone wasn't happy with how things were going)...

‘Fox & Friends’ punked by Obama supporter (VIDEO)

Video: http://youtu.be/csyAZPVEmpo

An aspiring comedian pretending to be a former supporter for President Barack Obama appeared on "Fox & Friends" morning show via satellite on Monday during a segment that suggested the staggering unemployment rate for those aged 18-24 may cost Obama the youth vote in November.
 
"Fox & Friends" co-host Gretchen Carlson introduced Max Rice, the comedian, as a "recent college grad who voted for President Obama" and who "just moved out of his parents' home."
 
Rice interrupted Carlson's introduction, saying "S'up," and then told her, "Miss USA, it's an honor." After Carlson, a former Miss America winner, corrected Rice, he said, "Miss Universe in my book." Things quickly got worse from there.
 
"I was a huge Obama supporter in 2008," Rice said. "I met him in third grade. I met him when I was little."
 
When asked why he is now supporting Mitt Romney, Rice claimed he lost a bet to a friend in a pickup basketball game.
 
"Are you being serious about this interview or not?" Carlson asked.
 
"Yeah," Rice said. "I can't see your face right now. This is so weird."
 
Fox News said it is investigating the incident. "We are still examining the situation, but it will be addressed with the appropriate parties involved," Bill Shine, Fox News' executive vice president of programming, said in a statement.
 
"They were just casting a part in a show," Rice told the progressive website RawStory.com. "The first thing that shocked me is that they were that desperate to find someone that fit that category. What they were seeking is someone who voted for Obama in 2008, then somewhere in the last four years got disenfranchised and now is a huge Romney supporter. But I feel like anyone who fits that mold would also dis Romney at the same time. So, they just couldn't find anyone. They're in New York City, so they had to go find a kid in Chicago."
 
Earlier this year, "Fox & Friends" aired a nearly-four-minute video about President Obama's first term, drawing the ire of critics who say it looked, felt and sounded like a political attack ad.
 
"We decided to take a look back at the president's first term to see if it lived up to hope and change," Carlson said while introducing the piece.

Here's the whole story...apparently, the whole thing was a prank, NOT by FOX News, but by the INTERVIEWEE guy himself.

FOX was looking for a young recent college grad that's fed up with Obama, and they ended up choosing this guy after interviewing several candidates for this tv spot. However...this guy is NOT a recent college grad, why? B/c he graduated from high school in 2010! Which means AT BEST, he would be a JUNIOR in college! :D On top of that, he's not even in college anymore!

And he said he met Obama when he was in the 3rd grade? Wouldn't that be around 2000, meaning Obama wasn't yet on the national spotlight? :D

This Max Rice guy is NOTHING MORE than a COMEDIAN who's done nothing more than put up routines on YOUTUBE!

Wow...the GOP-runned media is doing everything they can to hand the election to Obama!

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/fox-friends-prank-max-rice-comedian-371049

Excerpt:

Rice described producers as “desperate” in their search for a young voter with a change of heart, admitting that he wanted to make the "fake news organization" look "stupid" for seeking interview subjects as if they were “casting a part in a show.”

“What they were seeking is someone who voted for Obama in 2008, then somewhere in the last four years got disenfranchised and now is a huge Romney supporter. But I feel like anyone who fits that mold would also dis Romney at the same time. So, they just couldn’t find anyone. They’re in New York City, so they had to go find a kid in Chicago.”

With no Hollywood credits to his name, the former University of Texas student appears to be active on YouTube. Among his uploads is a high school graduation speech (circa 2010) and a clip of his raunchy stand up routine.

“They had 10 days to ask for my driver’s license,” Rice said of the show’s producers. “They saw my [high school] commencement speech video, but they’re too stupid to realize that if I graduated in 2010, I wouldn’t graduate college until 2014. That’s why I was so awkward in the interview. I wasn’t going to lie.”

I think all the media is in cahoots to keep control of the population. When all of this embassy mess happened, Bill O'Reily said the exact same thing as Anderson Cooper, some parts were word for word, and all of it was crap.

Oh, Conan OBrian did a bit on that very thing. They showed  anchor after anchor, 19, saying the exact same thing in their news casts. One after another had the exact same comment, word for word. It clearly shows it was all scripted, and not locally written news material.

While I don't think the local news media is (nearly)as bad as the national MSM(the latter which are controlled by the likes of GE/Rockefeller, Murdoch, Disney, etc), they too are infiltrated, controlled, corrupted, compromised, etc.(at least IMHO)

Through years of watching local news media channels, I've seen even those local news media "journalists" flash that masonic compass/square symbol with their hands.

Sharyl Attkisson: When I'd Begin Getting Under Surface of an Obama Scandal, CBS Would Pull Me Off

"There is unprecedented, I believe, influence on the media, not just the news, but the images you see everywhere. By well-orchestrated and financed campaign of special interests, political interests and corporations. I think all of that comes into play."


One month ago. long-time investigative reporter Sharyl Attkisson left CBS amid rumors that she had grown frustrated with the network stifling her investigations. Thursday night on Bill O' Reilly's Fox News program she confirmed those rumors. "There is unprecedented, I believe, influence on the media, not just the news, but the images you see everywhere. By well-orchestrated and financed campaign of special interests, political interests and corporations. I think all of that comes into play."

After introducing his guest, O'Reilly asked Attkisson about her investigation into the Fast and Furious gun-running scandal.

The former CBS reporter asserted that she began to make inroads into the story but had to drop it:

    Attkisson: I found out that we had to quit pursuing the story more or less due to lack of interest well before we found answers to a lot of questions. Including what about all the other cases besides the one you know as Fast and Furious that were also using similar strategies to transfer weapons down to Mexico. And how did this, if at all, play into a strategy the United States may be using to draw support or give support towards one of the cartels in Mexico against one of the others much like they had done in Columbia and other places.

    O'Reilly: Playing one off against the other. You said something interesting that you had to abandon the story for lack of interest. Can you clarify that?

    Attkisson: It just came to be that, I don't think on the viewers' part, but on the people that decide what stories go into the broadcast and what there is room for, they felt fairly early on that this story was over when I felt as though we had barely begun to scratch the surface. They didn't ask me what was left to report. They decided on their own the story was done.

O' Reilly moved to her investigation into Benghazi.

    Attkisson: Benghazi I was assigned to look into about three weeks after the attacks happened by management, and pursued that aggressively, and as I felt we were beginning to scratch beneath the surface on that scandal as well which I think had many legitimate questions yet to be asked and answered. Interest was largely lost in that story as well on the part of the people that are responsible for deciding what goes on the news.

    O'Reilly: So did they tell you, look, we don't want you to spend any more time on this? Was it that direct?

    Attkisson: No. It's more as though there is no time in the broadcast. They really, really liked the story but you start to hear from, you know, other routes that "why don't you just leave it alone," "you know, you are kind of a troublemaker because you are still pursuing it." It kind of goes from hot to cold in one day, sometimes. Where they are asking you to pursue something heavily and then it's almost as if a light switch goes off and look at you all of the sudden, "Why are you bringing this story?"

    O'Reilly: Is it possible because CBS News is third in the ratings that they are just doing stories that they think are going to get them audiences? Is that possible?

    Attkisson: I suppose there could be differences of opinion as to what the audience wants to see. But I think there are larger things at play in the industry. Broadly there are overarching concerns about, I would say just fear over original investigative reporting. There is unprecedented, I believe, influence on the media, not just the news, but the images you see everywhere. By well- orchestrated and financed campaign of special interests, political interests and corporations. I think all of that comes into play.

Attkisson's last big investigation at CBS was Obamacare:

    Attkisson: I was asked by CBS to look into Obamacare and it had a similar trajectory whereby we broke some interesting stories that I felt we were uncovering some good information and making headway, but we and I feel like a lot of the media after several weeks of this kind of fell off the radar on the story to a large degree on the critical looks that we were taking, security issues, the lack of transparency, the lack of providing figures and information, that I think belonged in the public domain, belonged to us, that were being withheld, while being provided in some cases to corporate partners of the government being withheld from us, though.

    …Just before Christmas came word that the top security official, the computer person who still works there at HHS, had refused to sign off and recommended, in fact, that this web site not go live because of all the security issues. That was not considered a big enough story, I suppose, is the way to put it by those who decide what goes on the air. I thought it was hugely important, because this is an insider, someone who works in the Obama administration who had made this assessment. If you look at having had something like that occur with a private corporation that proceeded to go online with all of these alleged security risks, I think the government would be very upset by that if the tables were turned. Here it was the United States government doing it.

She's not saying anything that we don't already know to be true. It's good to hear a confirmation from a well-known media reporter.

Media corps don't dictate news stories any more. Haven't for a long time now. Washington says what significant issues get reported on, and she apparently has finally realized it first hand.

If it weren't the case, then why would the "Fast and Furious" case be dropped from the media coverage? But that is exactly what has happened, as I expected it would. They fire a couple low level people, and on to the next story.

She now knows that news isn't reported to tell what's happening, stories are told in order to sway the public's perceptions of government. That is a fact.

10 Professions That Attract the Most Sociopaths
5/26/13

Our notions of good and evil are as malleable and evolving as the society around us. Whereas once we used to burn opinionated women as witches, or assume seizures were a sure sign of demonic possessions — we now rely on scientific inquiry and skepticism to define the world around us. This has led to a wide array of psychological categories, groups and behaviors through which we self-identify: Introvert, type A, depressed, delusional, egotistical or sociopath!

There are still ongoing disputes in field of psychiatry, and the inner workings of the mind remain a great scientific mystery yet to be fully explored. However, when it comes to sociopathy, we seem to have a somewhat functioning definition: a lack of empathy, emotions, or ability to identify with others coupled with a superficial charm, persuasiveness, focus, and egomania.

It might surprise some to learn, however, that the vast majority of sociopaths aren't killers lurking in the shadows. Most of them are walking around among us, immersed in careers that nurture their psychological traits, and in some cases even reward them.

Here are the top ten jobs that attract sociopaths, according to author Kevin Dutton:

1. CEO

With the heartless greed and sadistic ambition displayed on Wall street since the 2008 financial collapse, it may come as no surprise that the first place on the list goes to the modern-age equivalent of a pharaoh. Capitalist positions of leadership offer power, autonomy, command, and status — a perfect battlefield for the ambitious and ruthless to compete. Where once pyramids littered the dessert in tribute to vain kings, we now have skyscrapers and corporate logos filling the clouds above.

2. Lawyer

Lawyers cloak themselves in the language of their field, making the laymen reliant on their expertise to survive in a courtroom. In the fog of legalese linguistics and glibly twisted logic, you better pray your lawyer is the most bloodthirsty of the two. There's a reason Shakespeare hated them so much, and why they continue to be the butt of so many jokes. Lawyers have a reputation for distorting the systems of equality, specifically for the purposes of ensuring their financial success. For every white knight district attorney looking to uphold the pillars of justice, you are sure to find a handful of bleak-hearted cynics and cutthroats.

3. Media

If our collective society is a living organism, where better for the egomaniac to reside than on the radio or TV? To be the voice of the people, the face of their information and entertainment, and to influence our collective minds. Of course, once your self-worth becomes invariably tied to your ratings and popularity, you're in for an eventual downfall of depression and despair
.

4. Salesperson

In a numbers game, there's no room for emotion. Who has the greatest mental prowess? Manipulative charm? Who can wield the finest array of half-truths to convince a customer and close a sale? For those who like to compete for status and feed an ego through the defeat of colleagues, there is no better place to be than sales.

5. Surgeon

The field of surgery offers more than the power of life and death. It's a clinical world of high-pressure stakes, where decisions must be made without emotion. What job nurtures a bigger power complex, than one where you can cut people open on a daily basis, tinker with their frail internal mechanics, and aggrandize your status as a giver or taker of life?

6. Journalist

Much in the same way that media attracts the egomaniac, journalism (and writing in general) can draw those who wish to be revered from a distance. The ability to embed ideas and conversations in paper, and have them be absorbed en masse by readers, has only grown with the proliferation of the Internet. Now everyone with a phone, ipad, laptop or Google glasses can connect to an instantaneous world of information that stretches across the planet in seconds. The champions of that information are the self-appointed revealers of "truth" – constantly seeking to influence others through their articulation and mental prowess
.

7. Policeman

The power of life and death on your hip, a badge of authority on your chest, a uniform of distinction, and a really loud siren! Everyone’s familiar with the stereotype of a bad cop — those officers who readily abuse their power, resent the people they are meant to protect, and use cold-hearted superiority to justify their viciousness. It's an unfortunate reality that some of the biggest criminals lurk among those who've sworn to uphold the law.

8. Clergyman

What better way to fulfill your God complex than become one his messengers? If you embody and speak for the higher forces of the universe, people’s admiration and congregation around you will constantly stroke the darkest portions of your vanity — at least until they catch you abusing children. It's no wonder religions have veered away from monastic humility towards gaudy temples of lavish gold and marble.

9. Chef

There are few things we do on a daily basis that are more intimate than eating food. The sustenance we put in our body can heal us, warm us, increase our pleasure and decrease our stress. It can also poison us, infect us or outright kill us. The seduction and love of food is very powerful — and controlling it, corrupting it, or being worshipped for creating it can greatly appeal to the egomaniac.

10. Civil Servant

Whether you're a minor-level bureaucrat suffocating the masses in red tape protocol, a hair-piece smiling robot claiming to embody the American dream, or a hypocrite ranting about moral platitudes while keeping your gay sex slave locked in your closet — there’s always plenty of room for sociopaths in the political arena.

Is The Mainstream Media Dying?

Ratings at CNN, MSNBC and Fox News have all been plummeting in recent years, and newspaper ad revenues are about a third of what they were back in the year 2000.  So is the mainstream media dying?  Despite what you may have heard, the mainstream media is certainly not completely dead just yet.  The average American watches approximately 153 hours of television a month, and as I pointed out in a previous article, about 90 percent of the "information" that is endlessly pumped into our heads through our televisions is controlled by just six gigantic media corporations.  However, there are a whole host of signs that things are changing - especially when it comes to news.  More Americans than ever are losing faith in the establishment-controlled media and are seeking out alternative sources of information.  Is this a trend that the big media companies are going to be able to reverse at some point?

For years, the "news business" has been dominated by CNN, Fox News and MSNBC.  But now all three channels are rapidly losing viewers.  According to a recently released Pew Research study, the number of prime time viewers for all three networks combined fell by 11 percent last year...

    In 2013, the cable news audience, by nearly all measures, declined. The combined median prime-time viewership of the three major news channels—CNN, Fox News and MSNBC—dropped 11% to about 3 million, the smallest it has been since 2007. The Nielsen Media Research data show that the biggest decline came at MSNBC, which lost nearly a quarter (24%) of its prime-time audience. CNN, under new management, ended its fourth year in third place, with a 13% decline in prime time. Fox, while down 6%, still drew more viewers (1.75 million) than its two competitors combined (619,500 at MSNBC and 543,000 at CNN).

And the decline is far more dramatic when you look at just the key 25 to 54-year-old demographic.

From November 2012 to November 2013, CNN's ratings for that demographic dropped by a staggering 59 percent, and MSNBC's ratings for that demographic dropped by a staggering 52 percent.

Is this a sign that Americans are finally getting fed up with the endless propaganda being spewed by those establishment mouthpieces?

A recent survey conducted by a liberal polling firm would indeed seem to indicate that this is the case.  That survey found that only 6 percent of Americans consider MSNBC to be their most trusted source for news...

    NBC News and sister cable network MSNBC rank at the bottom of media outlets Americans trust most for news, with Fox News leading the way, according to a new poll from the Democratic firm Public Policy Polling.

    In its fifth trust poll, 35 percent said they trusted Fox news more than any other outlet, followed by PBS at 14 percent, ABC at 11 percent, CNN at 10 percent, CBS at 9 percent, 6 percent for MSNBC and Comedy Central, and just 3 percent for NBC.

And of course it is not just the big mainstream news networks that are in decline.

A recently released Pew Research study discovered that the decline of America's newspapers continued in 2013 as well...

    The Newspaper Association of America has stopped compiling quarterly reports on advertising revenue. According to its annual numbers, which were released in April 2014, overall revenue for newspapers in 2013 was $37.6 billion, a decrease of 2.6% from 2012. Within that total, combined print and digital ad revenue decreased by 7%—to $20.7 billion.

Seven percent may not sound like much, but you have to realize that these declines have been happening year after year.  When you look back over a longer time frame, it really puts the massive decline that we have witnessed in advertising revenues in perspective...

    It took a half century for annual newspaper print ad revenue to gradually increase from $20 billion in 1950 (adjusted for inflation in 2013 dollars) to $65.8 billion in 2000, and then it took only 12 years to go from $65.8 billion in ad revenues back to less than $20 billion in 2012, before falling further to $17.3 billion last year.

    Even when revenues from digital advertising and other categories described by the NAA as “niche publications, direct marketing and non-daily publication advertising” are added to print ad revenue (see red line in chart), the combined total revenues for print, digital and other advertising last year was still only $23.56 billion in 2013 dollars, which was the lowest amount of annual ad revenue since 1954, when $23.3 billion was spent on print advertising alone.

Yes, you read those numbers correctly.  As you can see from this chart, newspaper ad revenues are now about a third of what they were back in the year 2000.

That is not just a "shift" - that is a massive tsunami.

Needless to say, the big newspapers are quite distressed by all of this.

For example, "the Grey Lady" herself is essentially in a state of panic at this point.  Just recently, a 96 page internal New York Times report was obtained by BuzzFeed that basically skewers the company's current strategy when it comes to the Internet...

    A 96-page internal New York Times report, sent to top executives last month by a committee led by the publisher’s son and obtained by BuzzFeed, paints a dark picture of a newsroom struggling more dramatically than is immediately visible to adjust to the digital world, a newsroom that is hampered primarily by its own storied culture.

But they still don't understand the true cause of their decline.

It isn't the fact that they haven't adapted to the Internet very well that is the primary reason for their decline.

Rather, it is the fact that the American people are losing faith in the New York Times and other similar establishment mouthpieces.

News magazines are also experiencing a dramatic multi-year decline.  Ad revenues are way down across the entire industry, and any publication that can keep their yearly losses to the single digits is applauded for it...

    For a third year in a row, news magazines faced a difficult print advertising environment. Combined ad pages (considered a better measure than ad revenue) for the five magazines studied in this report were down 13% in 2013, following a decline of 12.5% in 2012, and about three times the rate of decline in 2011, according to the Publishers Information Bureau. Again, hardest hit was The Week, which suffered a 20% drop in ad pages. The Atlantic fell 17%, The Economist 16%, and Time about 11%, while The New Yorker managed to keep its ad pages losses in single digits (7%).

Mainstream media executives appear to be optimistic that they can reverse these declines at some point, but they simply don't realize that there has been a fundamental paradigm shift when it comes to the news media in the United States.

The general population has lost a tremendous amount of faith in the mainstream media.  They are increasingly becoming aware that it is deeply controlled by the establishment.

At this point, the charade is so out in the open that even reporters are talking about it.  For example, former CBS reporter Sharyl Attkisson says that the "influence on the media" by political and corporate interests is "unprecedented"...

    "There is unprecedented, I believe, influence on the media, not just the news, but the images you see everywhere. By well-orchestrated and financed campaign of special interests, political interests and corporations. I think all of that comes into play."

Wow.

Remember, this is not just some outsider that is saying these things.  Attkisson worked in the industry for more than 30 years.

And the American people know that they are getting very little truth from the establishment media these days.  A recent Gallup survey found that only 23 percent of Americans have a great deal of confidence in the mainstream media at this point.  Increasingly, Americans are turning to other sources for news and information.

This is fueling an unprecedented alternative news boom, and more Americans than ever are relying on the Internet as their main source of news.  If you doubt this, just check out this chart.

30 years ago, you would have never been able to read this article.  It never would have gotten past the gatekeepers that had almost total control over what Americans read, watched and listened to.

But now things have changed.  The Internet has allowed ordinary Americans to communicate with each other on a scale that has never been possible before.  As we share information with each other, we are increasingly becoming aware that we don't need the mainstream media to define what reality is for us after all.

If the mainstream media really wants to keep from dying, they should at least try to start telling us the truth.

Unfortunately, that simply is not going to happen.  The political and corporate interests that control the big media corporations have way too much to lose.

So we will have to continue to learn to think for ourselves and to share news and information with each other over the Internet.

In the end, we will all be much better off being unplugged from "the matrix" anyway.

And alot of these "alternative media" outlets like Alex Jones and Jeff Rense aren't any better - sure, they'll expose the NWO et al, but nonetheless they'll ONLY DO SO MUCH, and revert back to the MSM "talking points"...slyly getting everyone back under that fake left/right paradigm(ie-pushing Ron Paul, making everyone focus largely on Obama "the dictator", etc).

Exactly! You would have thought both the Apostate Church and the "truth" movement would have learned their lessons from years past going into the 2012 election - NOT SO! They continued to get on the "lesser of 2 evils" bandwagon, thinking "as long as we can expose and vote out Obama, this country will be in good shape".

Forget about that fact that Obamacare was modeled after Romneycare(and taxpayer abortions were in the latter, and not the former). And forget about the fact that Romney was Obama-light.

It's not just the MSM news - pretty much everything you see on television is scripted. Here's another example - Brett Favre broke his ankle in the 2nd half of that 2009 NFC Championship game against the New Orleans Saints. But somehow he had no problems missing another play, and showed ALMOST NO pain.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UUeqvquXZI

20 second mark - Favre WALKS onto the field after game is over!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hghn-8WW5u4

Played on a broken ankle while showing no pain? Seriously? ::) But nonetheless, these tv networks have done one big job in fooling the masses with their scripted propaganda. And for that matter too - NOONE has even close to "superman" abilities like this!

Philippians 3:3  For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.

Revelation 12:9  And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

CBS president confronted over sibling in White House

A public policy organization recently attended the annual shareholders meeting of the CBS Corporation to confront its coverage of the Benghazi scandal.

As the Heritage Foundation reported this month, CBS News President David Rhodes is the brother of Ben Rhodes, the White House deputy national security adviser who drafted the newly released document about Benghazi just days after the Sept. 11, 2012, attack that killed four Americans.

Danhof, Justin (Nat'l Ctr for Public Policy Research)Responding to a question from Justin Danhof of the National Center for Public Policy Research at the network's meeting, CBS President and CEO Les Moonves claimed that it is "inaccurate" to call a circumstance in which a sibling is reporting on a sibling a conflict of interest.

Even if the president of CBS News had nothing to do with news coverage of Benghazi, says Danhof, the people that work for him did.

"And do you want to be the one attacking your boss's brother on the news?  Of course not. It would be career suicide," he tells OneNewsNow. 

Danhof says the network needs better structures in place to ensure the people reporting on stories about Benghazi have the resources they need and don't fear losing their jobs because they are investigating the sibling brothers.

Heat-Spurs draw 9.0 rating for Game 1
6/6/14

NEW YORK — The San Antonio Spurs’ victory over the Miami Heat in Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Thursday night drew an average television audience of 14,846,000 viewers and a 9.0 national rating, Nielsen said Friday.

The average viewership on ABC was up 4 percent from 14,241,000 for last year’s opening game between the teams and the rating was up 2 percent from an 8.8. The 9.0 rating matched the second-highest NBA Finals opener since 2004.

Nielsen Social said the game was the most-tweeted NBA game of the year with more than 3.2 million tweets. The game also was most-talked about television program of the day, accounting for 76 percent of all TV conversation on Twitter.

Game 2 is Sunday night.

FYI, the MSM "talking heads" are using Robin Williams' suicide to push this "mental health" agenda(supposedly Williams had that "chemical imbalance" depression). And from there they were able to squeeze in socialized medicine(ie-Obamacare) and gun control!(when they talked about "mentally ill" people doing shootings at schools and public places)

Remember they did the same thing when Rick Warren's son (supposedly)committed suicide last year.

I guess by their logic, Apostle Paul had "depression" too...

Romans 7:7  What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.
Rom 7:8  But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.
Rom 7:9  For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.
Rom 7:10  And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death.
Rom 7:11  For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.
Rom 7:12  Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
Rom 7:13  Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.
Rom 7:14  For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
Rom 7:15  For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.
Rom 7:16  If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.
Rom 7:17  Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
Rom 7:18  For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.
Rom 7:19  For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.
Rom 7:20  Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
Rom 7:21  I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.
Rom 7:22  For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
Rom 7:23  But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
Rom 7:24  O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
Rom 7:25  I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.


And Peter...

1Peter 1:6  Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:
1Pe 1:7  That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
1Pe 1:8  Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
1Pe 1:9  Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.

Media coverage of Robin Williams' death scrutinized
8/13/14

The death of Robin Williams from an apparent suicide has unsurprisingly dominated the news cycle this week. It has also unsurprisingly led to plenty of questionable media coverage.

One glaring example was seen on Wednesday, when the Daily News published a blunt cover outlining what the Marin County Coroner's Office said were circumstances surrounding Williams' death.

The tabloid's choice for a headline? "HANGED."

The controversial front page came a day after a cheery memo detailing the Daily News' online strategy for optimizing its Robin Williams' death stories began circulating online. (Daily News Web editors were instructed to begin stories "with his full name and include buzzy search words like *death, dead, suicide, etc.")

On its website, New York's Village Voice published a response to the Daily News' cover with considerably less jarring cover lines.

"We took the liberty of re-editing the Daily News' shameful Robin Williams cover," the Village Voice's Alan Scherstuhl wrote. "Here's what [it] should have looked like."

The Daily News, of course, wasn't alone in exhibiting a lack of taste.

Radio host Rush Limbaugh came under fire for comments on his radio show Tuesday in which he connected Williams' death to liberalism.

"They're always angry about something," Limbaugh said. "No matter what they get, they're always angry."

Williams "had it all but he had nothing. Made everybody else laugh but was miserable inside," Limbaugh continued. "I mean, it fits a certain picture or a certain image that the left has. Talk about low expectations and general unhappiness and so forth."


Limbaugh cited a Fox News report that the 63-year-old had grappled with "survivor's guilt" by outliving friends Christopher Reeve, John Belushi and Andy Kaufman.

"He could never get over the guilt that they died and he didn't," Limbaugh said. "Well, that is a constant measurement that is made by political leftists when judging the country."

On Wednesday, Lewis Black, the rant-prone comedian, fired back on Facebook:

    **** YOU Rush Limbaugh. Your statements were beyond cruel and stupid. They were intolerable. Enough is enough from you. You are an idiot. Don’t you ever demean the death of another human being. He was my friend. You disgust me.


On Tuesday, ABC News apologized for streaming live aerial footage of Williams' Tiburon, Calif., home after the comedian's family had explicitly asked the public to respect its privacy.

"When we realized there was no news value to the live stream, we took it down immediately," ABC said in a statement. "Our intention was not to be insensitive to his family, friends and fans, and for that we apologize."

'Seize' the death?

Questionable decisions made in the wake of Williams' death were not limited to the news media.

Edelman, the world's largest public relations firm, published a blog post Tuesday — entitled "Carpe Diem" — outlining a strategy for mental health professionals to use Williams' death as an opportunity to generate publicity.

"As we mourn the loss of Robin Williams to depression, we must recognize it as an opportunity to engage in a national conversation," Lisa Kovitz, an executive vice president and media relations expert in Edelman’s New York office, wrote. "His death yesterday created a carpe diem moment for mental health professionals and those people who have suffered with depression and want to make a point about the condition and the system that treats it. There’s a very careful line they need to walk so as to not seem exploitive of a terrible situation but at the same time, it is a national teachable moment that shouldn’t be ignored."

Kovitz suggested organizations with mental health experts be more aggressive in their Williams-related pitches:

    Some mental health organizations still have nothing on their websites or Twitter feeds regarding the situation and the need to seek out help. Perhaps they were trying to be non-exploitive or stay business as usual. While that approach may be the best for them, this event calls that strategy in to question. Since the issue of depression is clearly a continuing conversation, we would certainly want these organizations to consider another approach that is more visible and aggressive.

"Actually, no Edelman," one commenter, Erin Blaskie, wrote. "Robin Williams' death does NOT translate into an opportunity for your firm or for the clients you're directing to 'join the conversation.' ... Using someone's death as an opportunity to position yourself as THE PR company to walk potential clients through the best way to benefit from this "conversation" is callous. Instructing potential clients to pay your firm money to help them take advantage of this situation is gross."

Kovitz, though, defended the post.

"This actually [began] as an internal memo," she later explained to Business Insider. "We do this quite regularly on all kinds of topics related to media relations on a wide variety of topics. We believed it was worth surfacing more broadly given how the news cycle was progressing. ... Many people are simply not prepared to act at the speed of news."

But there have been plenty of opportunities to dissect the response to Williams' apparent suicide, as even seemingly innocuous tributes have come under scrutiny.

Shortly after his death was reported, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences tweeted a still from Disney’s animated "Aladdin," in which Williams voiced the blue Genie.

“If it doesn’t cross the line, it comes very, very close to it,” Christine Moutier, chief medical officer at the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, told the Washington Post of the image. “Suicide should never be presented as an option. That’s a formula for potential contagion.”

Surprise! The MSM(and not just the sports networks, that is) is running away with this story(ie-CNN has all but gone non-stop in talking about this). And Obama decided to "weigh in" on this.

Coincidence that out of the blue, this tape of Ray Rice beating his wife in an elevator comes out of nowhere(when what he did was reported and exposed months ago) - around the same time when ISIS, ebola, etc were gaining more MSM attention?(and now these latter news stories are on the backburner) And to boot it was some rag entertainment source(TMZ) that became the first to drop this "bombshell" video.

Obama on Ray Rice video: A 'real man' doesn't hit a woman

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Speaking out against domestic violence in the wake of a video showing former Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice punching his then-fiancee in an elevator, President Barack Obama said on Monday that "hitting a woman is not something a real man does."

“The President is the father of two daughters. And like any American, he believes that domestic violence is contemptible and unacceptable in a civilized society," White House spokesman Josh Earnest said in a statement.

"Hitting a woman is not something a real man does, and that’s true whether or not an act of violence happens in the public eye, or, far too often, behind closed doors," the White House statement added, saying that stopping domestic violence "is something that’s bigger than football."

The Ravens released Rice on Monday after the video, published on the website TMZ, showed him punching Janay Palmer, who is now his wife, and her falling face down on the elevator floor. Rice, 27, was also suspended indefinitely by the National Football League.

A previously released video showed Rice dragging an unconscious Palmer from the elevator at an Atlantic City, New Jersey, ****, earlier this year. Following its release, the NFL suspended Rice for two games and fined him $500,000, a punishment widely criticized as too lenient.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

**Yeah - this was ALREADY exposed MONTHS ago - and they wait until NOW to discipline him harshly(and subsequently flood this story on the MSM)?

Not that I endorse ESPN, but nonetheless...

http://leomcneil.net/2014/09/18/espn-used-to-be-a-sports-network/

ESPN Used To Be A Sports Network

There was a time not too long ago where you could turn on ESPN or sports talk without being subjected to politics. Unfortunately sports programing has turned into an endless stream of political issues pushed almost exclusively by sports journalists. The NFL is their current target. Ray Rice beat up his then fiancee. Everyone has known that he punched her for over six months, the NFL responded with a 2 game suspension. Then a video of the attack came out. Suddenly the NFL suspended Rice indefinitely and ESPN has decided to have a “national conversation” about how we need to “reprogram” how boys are raised. A handful of football players engage in domestic violence and suddenly the political hacks at ESPN want to reprogram all boys.

It doesn’t stop there. Adrian Peterson apparently spanked his son with a switch. This is a relatively common occurrence, especially down south. Peterson is hardly the model parent, he has seven illegitimate children. Apparently he cares enough to discipline his kids. Nevertheless he’s been charged with child abuse in Texas. The Minnesota Vikings deactivated Peterson for last weeks game. The announced he would play this upcoming Sunday. That is until the ESPN echo chamber wouldn’t stop hammering the Vikings for their decision. By yesterday the Vikings had relented. ESPN celebrated their reversal, on one show declaring that the Vikings couldn’t play Peterson because of all the “noise” coming from the outside on this issue. All of the noise came from ESPN of course.

NFL fans don’t particularly care about what Adrian Peterson does with his kids. Vikings fans in particular don’t care. He hasn’t been accused of murder, unlike ESPN commentator Ray Lewis. Even in the case of Ray Rice, everyone agrees his conduct was outrageous. Nevertheless his fiancee forgave him and married him. The video didn’t change anything for most fans, it only confirmed what had previously been reported. Unfortunately for the last several weeks ESPN has been running these two stories in an endless loop. They’ve been preaching at fans about violence against women and children while endlessly warning the NFL of “appearances.” The message has been clear, ESPN is warning the NFL that they won’t stop with these stories until they’re catered to.

The problem here is two fold. First, fans don’t really care about these stories. People who turn on football commentary shows want to hear stories about games played last week or previews of this weeks games. Football fans don’t turn on ESPN for political or social commentary. Second, these journalists and commentators over at ESPN seem to think they’re Woodward and Bernstein. They talk incessantly about these social issues in their echo chamber and therefore they assume everyone agrees with them and/or cares about the topic. These guys fantasize about taking out Roger Goodell or some other important person in sports. They imagine they’re “educating” their viewers. In reality, they’re annoying their viewers and face losing them as a result.

People watch sports to escape politics and just about everything else in their lives. ESPN was created 35 years ago to foster that escape 24/7. Unfortunately in the last few years they have subjected viewers to an endless stream of politics. These days they’re talking down to viewers like we’re naughty boys who beat our wives and kids. The fact though is that fans aren’t all in on these stories. We don’t like what Ray Rice did but his actions hardly warrant the sort of gab onslaught ESPN has served up. The Peterson story is worse because it assumes that everyone is in agreement that spanking children is wrong. In reality, most parents spank. Worse, ESPN has created a one network echo chamber that makes it seem like the entire country is turning on the NFL and the Vikings unless Adrian Peterson is banned. The reality is the opposite, fans don’t particularly care about the subject matter and most would rather see him play. There’s going to come a point where fans stop watching commentary shows. One imagines that even at that point the leftists at ESPN won’t stop pushing politics.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ESPN, like ABC, is owned by Disney. Nuff said.

Former Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee dies
Ben Bradlee, celebrated editor who guided The Washington Post during Watergate scandal, dies

10/21/14

WASHINGTON (AP) -- In a charmed life of newspapering, Ben Bradlee seemed always to be in just the right place.

The raspy-voiced, hard-charging editor who invigorated The Washington Post got an early break as a journalist thanks to his friendship with one president, John F. Kennedy, and became famous for his role in toppling another, Richard Nixon, in the Watergate scandal.

Bradlee died at home Tuesday of natural causes, the Post reported. He was 93.

Ever the newsman and ever one to challenge conventional wisdom, Bradlee imagined his own obituary years earlier and found something within it to quibble over.

"Bet me that when I die," he wrote in his 1995 memoir, "there will be something in my obit about how The Washington Post 'won' 18 Pulitzer prizes while Bradlee was editor." That, he said, would be bunk. The prizes are overrated and suspect, he wrote, and it's largely reporters, not newspapers or their editors, who deserve the credit.

Yet the Post's Pulitzer-winning coverage of the Watergate scandal is an inextricable part of Bradlee's legacy, and one measure of his success in transforming the Post from a sleepy hometown paper into a great national one.

As managing editor first and later as executive editor, Bradlee engineered the Post's reinvention, bringing in a cast of talented journalists and setting editorial standards that brought the paper new respect.

When Bradlee retired from the Post newsroom in 1991, then-publisher Donald Graham said: "Thank God the person making decisions in the last 26 years showed us how to do it with verve and with guts and with zest for the big story and for the little story."

With Watergate, Bradlee himself became a big part of a story that epitomized the glory days of newspapers — back before web sites, cable chatter and bloggers drove the talk of the day.

Actor Jason Robards turned Bradlee into a box-office hit with his Oscar-winning portrayal of the editor in the 1976 movie "All the President's Men," which recounted the unraveling of Watergate under the reporting of Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein. Bradlee's marriage in 1978 to Post star reporter Sally Quinn (his third) added more glamour to his image.

He was one of the few to know the identity early on of the celebrated Watergate source dubbed Deep Throat, revealed publicly in 2005 to be FBI official W. Mark Felt.

"I think he did a great service to society," Bradlee said after Felt's role finally came out.

In enduring partnership with publisher Katharine Graham, Bradlee took a stand for press freedom in 1971 by going forward with publication of the Pentagon Papers, a secret study of the Vietnam War broken by The New York Times, against the advice of lawyers and the entreaties of top government officials. The ensuing legal battle went all the way to the Supreme Court, which upheld the right of newspapers to publish the leaked papers.

The Post's decision to publish helped pave the way for all of the smaller, difficult ones that collectively produced the newspaper's groundbreaking coverage of Watergate.

Bradlee "set the ground rules — pushing, pushing, pushing, not so subtly asking everyone to take one more step, relentlessly pursuing the story in the face of persistent accusations against us and a concerted campaign of intimidation," Katharine Graham recalled in her memoir.

In November 2013, at age 92, Bradlee stood in the White House East Room and received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Barack Obama, who saluted Bradlee for bringing an intensity and dedication to journalism that served as a reminder that "our freedom as a nation rests on our freedom of the press."

Quinn disclosed in September 2014 that her husband had suffered from Alzheimer's disease for several years. She described him as happy to be fussed over and content even in decline. "Ben has never been depressed a day in his life," Quinn said in a C-SPAN interview.

Impatient, gruff, profane, Bradlee was all that. But also exuberant, innovative, charismatic.

"Ideas flew out of Ben," wrote Katharine Graham, who died in 2001. "He was always asking important 'why' questions. ... Ben was tough enough and good enough so that for the most part I not only let him do what he thought was right, I largely agreed with him."

The low point in Bradlee's career involved a 1981 Pulitzer for the Post that was rescinded after the Post itself revealed that reporter Janet Cooke had invented her story of an 8-year-old heroin user. Bradlee, whose offer to resign over the debacle was rejected, said it was a cross he would bear forever. Critics faulted editors for failing to ask enough questions about the story and said the incident was in part a reflection of the competition and tension within Bradlee's newsroom.

Benjamin Crowninshield Bradlee was born Aug. 26, 1921, a Boston Brahmin reared in comfort but for family financial setbacks in the Depression and a six-month bout with polio at age 14.

He hurried through Harvard in three years to take his place on a Pacific destroyer during World War II. On his return in 1945, he helped start a daily newspaper in New Hampshire, but it folded 2˝ years later for lack of advertising.

From there, Bradlee experienced a series of lucky breaks.


He landed his first job at the Post in 1948 when a rainstorm in Baltimore prompted him to skip a job interview there and stay on the train to Washington.

He happened to be riding a trolley car past Blair House in 1950 when Puerto Rican extremists opened fire on the presidential guest house while President Truman was staying there. Bradlee turned it into a page-one eyewitness story.

Restless at the Post, he left the paper in 1951 to become press attache at the U.S. Embassy in Paris. Two years later, he joined Newsweek's Paris bureau and spent four years as a European correspondent before returning to Washington to write politics.

He happened to buy a home in Georgetown in 1957, a few months before Sen. John F. Kennedy and his wife moved in across the street, the beginning of an intimate friendship and a proximity to power that burnished his credentials as a journalist and brought him rare insights into government.

"I was on a roll being in the right place at the right time, a luck that has stayed with me," Bradlee wrote in his best-selling memoir, "A Good Life: Newspapers and Other Adventures."

Long after his newspapering days were finished, even in his declining years, Bradlee would head over to the Post once a week to have lunch with "the guys" and "talk about the good old days in journalism," Quinn recounted.

Bradlee's access to Kennedy continued through JFK's presidency, bringing Bradlee scoops for Newsweek, and experiences that he ultimately turned into the 1975 book, "Conversations with JFK." The release brought Bradlee much attention and cost him a valued friend, Jacqueline Kennedy, who thought the book a violation of privacy and stopped speaking to Bradlee.

Bradlee had been in Newsweek's Washington bureau four years when he found the nerve in 1961 to telephone Post publisher Philip Graham to propose that The Washington Post Co. buy Newsweek.

"It was the best telephone call I ever made — the luckiest, most productive, most exciting, most rewarding," Bradlee wrote. The deal came together and Bradlee ended up with a cache of Post stock and the title of Washington bureau chief for Newsweek.


Four years later, it was a conversation with Philip Graham's widow that proved pivotal for Bradlee. Katharine Graham had taken over the Post after her husband's suicide and was looking to inject new life into the paper. In a quotation that has become Post lore, Bradlee told her over lunch that if the managing editor's job ever opened up, "I'd give my left one for it."

Bradlee soon had the title of deputy managing editor and an understanding he would move up quickly. As recounted in Howard Bray's book, "The Pillars of the Post," managing editor Al Friendly cautioned Bradlee, "Look, buster, don't be in a hurry." Bradlee smiled and replied: "Sorry, but that's my metabolism." He succeeded Friendly three months later.

Bradlee had four children from three marriages: Benjamin C. Jr., Dino, Marina and Quinn. His first two marriages, to Jean Saltonstall and Antoinette Pinchot, ended in divorce. Quinn Bradlee, his son with Sally Quinn, has battled a variety of ailments, including a hole in the heart and epilepsy, and was eventually diagnosed with a genetic syndrome called VCFS.

However this week - like 1/2 of their news items is this nonsense NFL New England Patriots "deflategate"(or whatever it's called) scandal. Yes, even Yahoo will get way out of line sometimes, and looking for decent news items at times there is alot like looking for a needle in a haystack.

When will destroyed human lives get more news attention than deflated footballs?

Yesterday, I visited my mom and we watched a popular talk show.  In the middle of the show, a breaking news update flashed on the screen. Suddenly the show was interrupted. My mind began to race.  Did something happen to our President? Was there another terrorist attack? Did a school shooting occur? Soon my fears were erased. Patriots QB Tom Brady was in a press conference, denying claims he knew about deflated footballs in the AFC Championship Game. This was the breaking news that interrupted a scheduled program.

I’ll admit I’m not a football fan. I also barely watch TV. So perhaps this counts as a legitimate ‘breaking news’ update in our America today? I personally thought it was a bit ridiculous. It made me wonder, what does the public value as newsworthy in our time? Is the media reporting what matters the most?

The show was interrupted on Jan 22, 2014.  Jan 22, 2014 was the forty second anniversary of Roe v. Wade. It was a day that thousands of pro-lifers gathered to D.C to march against the greatest human injustice of our day in the annual March for Life.

Peter Wolfgang is the Executive Director of the Family Institute of Connecticut. Wolfgang is an advocate for the rights of preborn humans. He also spearheaded a major effort that lead to the defeat of an assisted suicide bill in CT last year. On Jan 22nd he was the keynote speaker at a memorial for the unborn in Bridgeport, CT.

When I logged into Facebook this morning I realized I wasn’t the only one concerned with what CT media outlets consider priority news. Wolfgang posted:

Not a single word about the March for Life in the print edition of The Hartford Courant today. Hundreds of thousands of people protesting the killing of 56 million children, you say? Never mind. Connecticut’s paper of record thinks it less important than deflated footballs.


This is why I’m grateful for news outlets like Live Action News. We strive to report on issues that are of great importance. Football is a beloved sport in our nation.  Athletes should operate with integrity and respect. If an investigation shows wrongdoing on the part of the Patriots, than they should face the consequences. However, we live in a nation where wrong doing is ignored, justified and covered up all of the time. We demand justice over corruption in a game, yet ignore the corruption in the abortion industry.

When discussing the highs and lows of the games and dealing with criticism, Brady said:

“It’s hard to be oblivious to things. We all have TVs or the Internet. The questions I get and the emails I get from people that are always concerned and I’m always thinking back like, ‘Nobody died.’ It’s just a loss,” Brady said with a laugh.

I couldn’t say it any better myself. Football is a great sport, but it’s not a matter of life and death. Even a star quarterback knows that.  I long for the day when the lives of destroyed humans not yet born get more attention in the news than deflated footballs.

Don't be surprised the next record-breaking watched event will be the Antichrist showing up...(and we won't be here for that!)

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/super-bowl-sets-viewership-record-161138960.html
Super Bowl XLIX was the most-viewed television program in history
2/2/15

After all the scandals, after deflate-gate and concussion crises and videotapes and suspensions, know this: the NFL is unstoppable. The Super Bowl delivered its highest ratings ever, according to initial overnight numbers from NBC. Later numbers comfirmed: Super Bowl XLIX was the most-viewed television program in history.

The Patriots-Seahawks showdown enjoyed a 49.7 rating. In other words, 49.7 percent of the homes that had televisions on had them tuned to the Super Bowl. That's an astounding number, ten times the size of even the most popular TV shows, and it's exactly why advertisers are willing to fork out $4.5 million for 30 seconds' worth of ad time.

An average of 114.4 million people watched the Super Bowl last night, making it the most-viewed program in American history. The highest point? From 9:45 to 10 p.m. ET, in the fourth quarter, when viewership peaked at 120.8 million viewers. This is why networks pay so much for live sports, and why advertisers pay so much to be a part of it all.

NBC News Omits Iran's Foreign Minister Saying Netanyahu Regime Should Be Annihilated
Shilling for Obama again

 In a story posted by NBC News describing an interview that Ann Curry conducted with Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech to Congress this week, the network omitted Zarif's vitriolically vehement rant that the Netanyahu regime in Israel should "be annihilated," and that "this regime is a threat, is a threat. A regime that engages in the killing of innocent children, a regime that engages in acts of aggression.”  One could only find the section about annihilating Israel if they read the transcript of the entire interview. It wasn't important enough to include in the story of the interview posted by nbcnews.com on a different page.

Witness this section pulled from the full transcript of the Ann Curry /Mohammad Javad Zarif interview:

    Curry: So how does Iran want to annihilate the regime of Israel, since you're making the difference? [Between Jews in Iran and Jews in Israel]

    Zarif: We don't want to annihilate. We don't want to--

    Curry: Well, the Supreme Leader--

    Zarif: --annihilate anybody.

    Curry: --tweeted that--

    Zarif: We have-- the-- well, what he says--

    Curry: --it should be annihilated.

    Zarif: It-- it should be annihilated. That this regime is a threat, is a threat. A regime that engages in the killing of innocent children, a regime that engages in acts of aggression. Iran has not invaded any other country. We have not threatened to use force. Just exactly the opposite of Israel. Israel threatens to use force against Iran almost on a daily basis. And it has a record. Of course if they did use force against Iran, we would-- defend ourselves, as we have done with-- great sacrifice in the past. But we are not invading, we are not threatening anybody. We have not threatened anybody for 250 years. We have a record to prove of what we say. He doesn't. He has a record full of infanticide, full of killing of innocent people, full of aggression against his neighbor, full of occupation. That does not give him the authority to talk about others in the way he does.

This is the Iranian regime that President Obama wants to "make peace" with. NBC News seems to be attempting to aid the Administration in covering up Iran's intentions.

In the article about the interview entitled "Iran Foreign Minister: We Believe We Are 'Very Close' to Nuke Deal, " NBC tries to make Zarif sound like the aggrieved peacemaker:

    Iran has no intention of building a nuclear weapon, and the sooner the world recognizes that, the sooner there will be a deal aimed at curbing its nuclear capabilities in exchange for the lifting of crippling economic sanctions, Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif told NBC News.

    "Iran is not about building nuclear weapons," Zarif said in an exclusive interview with Ann Curry Wednesday. "We don't want to build nuclear weapons, we don't believe nuclear weapons bring security to anybody, certainly not to us."

The only mention of Israel or Netanyahu in the article accuses Netanyahu of "fanning" "hysteria" against the seemingly-peaceful state sponsor of terrorism.

FLASHBACK: Obama Credits 1965 Selma March for Inspiring His Birth… In 1961

FLASHBACK: Obama Credits 1965 Selma March for Inspiring His Birth… In 1961

(http://thegatewaypundit.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/obama-nbp1.jpg)

Shock Photos!
New Panther National Chief Malik Zulu Shabazz is seen speaking at the rally on the left. Then Obama speaks to the Selma crowd at the same rally.

This was the same visit to Selma where Obama credited the 1965 marchers with empowering his black father and white mother to marry… Obama was born in 1961. He was off by 4 years when the Selma march took place. But, it made a good speech.

Here is his political speech inside the church.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=DdYByptC8mY

Michelle Malkin reported:

    *Obama has as much trouble with numbers as he has with maps. Last March, on the anniversary of the Bloody Sunday march in Selma, Alabama, he claimed his parents united as a direct result of the civil rights movement:

        “There was something stirring across the country because of what happened in Selma, Alabama, because some folks are willing to march across a bridge. So they got together and Barack Obama Jr. was born.”

    Obama was born in 1961. The Selma march took place in 1965. His spokesman, Bill Burton, later explained that Obama was “speaking metaphorically about the civil rights movement as a whole.”

NBC finds at least 10 Brian Williams embellishments

The in-house investigators assigned to look into Brian Williams' past reports have documented at least 10 instances of exaggerations and embellishments by the NBC anchorman.

The investigation is not yet complete, according to a person with knowledge of it, who described some of the findings on condition of anonymity.

It is unclear whether Williams had had a chance to defend himself to his bosses. NBC has not allowed him to do so publicly.

NBCUniversal CEO Steve Burke was briefed on the current findings at a Thursday morning meeting in New York. The meeting suggests that the network is nearing a decision about Williams' future.

Williams, the anchor of "NBC Nightly News" for the past 10 years, was suspended nearly three months ago when a scandal erupted about his recounting of an Iraq War mission in 2003.

His suspension is scheduled to end in August, but it is unclear whether NBC will reinstate him at that time. Lester Holt has been filling in.

The network has been under pressure -- both internally and externally -- to reach a decision about Williams and announce it well ahead of the August deadline.

That decision will be informed by NBC's internal fact-checking effort, which is being led by Richard Esposito, the news division's senior executive producer in charge of investigations.

All of the people involved are being incredibly tight-lipped, and NBC refuses to confirm anything about the investigation.

But The New York Times and The Washington Post reported new details on Friday night that painted Williams in a decidedly negative light.

The Times reported that Esposito's team has uncovered "discrepancies" in Williams' accounts of his reporting from Tahrir Square in Cairo, Egypt in 2011.

The Times said it was one of a "half-dozen instances" that have raised eyebrows internally.

The Post reported that the investigation has "turned up 11 instances in which the anchorman publicly embellished details of his reporting exploits."

It also said Thursday's meeting was attended by Burke; the man he recently appointed to oversee NBC News, Andy Lack, and the president of NBC News, Deborah Turness.

A spokesman for NBC did not respond to a request for comment on Saturday.

Earlier this week, CNNMoney reported that the fact-checking findings "may be a form of leverage -- to either say that Williams has been cleared of further embellishing, or that he's too damaged to return to the 'Nightly News.'"

If NBC executives believe he's too damaged, negotiations will have to ensue with Williams' lawyer. Last winter Williams signed a lucrative contract to remain the "Nightly News" anchor through the end of the decade.

In private conversations, TV agents and other industry veterans have speculated that the investigation's findings could be useful in a negotiation. NBC could offer to keep the investigation under wraps, or threaten to release it, depending on Williams' willingness to leave.

Jay Rosen, a New York University journalism professor who has followed the Williams case closely, said that "if the latest reports are accurate," they further complicate the picture.

If the executives "let Brian Williams return to NBC News, they have to calculate the effect on morale and the rough statement they would be making (essentially, 'your opinions don't count') to all the people in the news division who feel grave doubts and deep anger toward Williams," Rosen said. "Are they prepared to pay those costs? Maybe they are, I don't know."

Rosen suggested people at NBC may be "signaling their mood and intentions through the leaks."

Obama Now Openly Telling Media What Propaganda to Print

 It's not exactly news that the media is there to help Obama. It's not even news that the White House feeds talking points to the media. It just doesn't usually do so at press conference while saying, "Print this."

So now we've hit a new low in the pathetic disgusting relationship between Obama and his media lapdogs.

During his press conference on the school shootings, Obama told the media what to print.

    "And, of course, what’s also routine is that somebody, somewhere will comment and say, Obama politicized this issue.  Well, this is something we should politicize.  It is relevant to our common life together, to the body politic.  I would ask news organizations -- because I won't put these facts forward -- have news organizations tally up the number of Americans who’ve been killed through terrorist attacks over the last decade and the number of Americans who’ve been killed by gun violence, and post those side-by-side on your news reports.  This won't be information coming from me; it will be coming from you."

Except that it is coming from "me".

Still surely the media had too much dignity and self-respect to actually start running stories based on what the Beloved Leader told them to print. Well maybe the media in some other country might. The media here got in their human centipede positions and started running the propaganda they were told to run.

Because we have the best media ever.



    NBC - Number of Americans Killed by Gun Violence Vs. Terrorism Shows Stark Contrast

    New York Times - Terrorism vs. Gun Violence

    Vox - Deaths from gun violence vs. deaths from terrorism

    ABC - Gun violence and terrorism in the US: Barack Obama wants you to see this chart

NBC - Slavery is Freedom

New York Times - War is Peace

ABC - Barack Obama wants you to know that Lies are Truth

This is real progress. Any day now the media will stop pretending that it's a news organization and just print straight White House press releases. And then we can finally begin the task of building an independent free press.

For now we have the same media as Russia, China or North Korea but it occasionally allows lone dissenting voices, before ruthlessly silencing them.

Watch How Carly Fiorina Reacts When CNN Anchor Suggests Her ‘Rhetoric’ Influenced Alleged Planned Parenthood Shooter

Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina snapped at CNN host Chris Cuomo when he asked her if she regrets her past comments condemning Planned Parenthood following the deadly shooting in Colorado.

Cuomo first asked, “Do you feel any sense of regret about how you characterized what was going on at Planned Parenthood after the attack in Colorado?”

He then added, “Because of what the man said which seems as though he was influenced by some of the rhetoric coming out of you and others that painted a very ugly picture — and unfair one — about Planned Parenthood.”

Visibly annoyed by the line of questioning, Fiorina snapped back, “Oh, please. Really, Chris?”

The Republican candidate said the Planned Parenthood shooter is “deranged” and should be “put away for life.” However, she continued, “that has nothing to do with the truth of what is going on in Planned Parenthood, and this is a typical left-wing tactic, to try and shut down the truth by silencing people.”

Cuomo then asserted the undercover Planned Parenthood videos, released by the Center for Medical Progress, were “edited” and it appears the shooter “killed in the name” of what was depicted in the footage.

“Careful, you’re a journalist,” Fiorina warned. “I don’t recall anyone in the pro-life community celebrating this tragedy. … It’s clear what your opinion is, Chris.”

“I think you’ve bought the Planned Parenthood line, hook, line and sinker. Good to know that,” she said.

Watch the tense exchange below via CNN:

MSNBC’s Brzezinski: Reporters’ ‘Skin Is Crawling’ Covering Trump [VIDEO]

MSNBC “Morning Joe” host Mika Brzezinski questioned the establishment media’s objectivity when covering Donald Trump Monday.

“Reporters are supposed to be ‘objective,’ and they ooze with a lack of objectivity when they’re covering him,” Brzezinski said.

“You can sort of see it in their kind of like smiling, sort of slyly and uncomfortably and almost snarkily while they’re reporting on his rallies, ’cause they can’t take him seriously.”

“They can’t say, ‘You know what? There are a lot of people who would say that this could be a very dangerous statement, but if you would look at the crowd behind us, this is exactly what they want to hear.’ They can’t even say that with conviction,” she continued. “They just can’t do it. It’s like their skin is crawling.”

EMAIL HIGHLIGHTS HILLARY'S CONTROL OVER REPORTER
Staffer orders journalist: Call her speech 'muscular'


Hillary Clinton’s staffers once ordered a journalist to refer to her speech on foreign policy as “muscular” – and the journalist did.

The backstory is this: Atlantic magazine’s Marc Ambinder in 2009 emailed Clinton aide Philippe Reines to ask for an advance copy of a speech then-Secretary of State Clinton was due to deliver to the Council on Foreign Relations.

The ‘Stop Hillary’ campaign is on fire! Join the surging response to this theme: ‘Clinton for prosecution, not president’

Reines said yes, so long as Ambinder agreed to three conditions.

As Breitbart reported, the conditions were “you in your own voice describe them as ‘muscular;'” “you note that a look at the CFR seating plan shows that all the envoys – from Holbrooke to Mitchell to Ross – will be arrayed in front of her, which in your own clever way you can say certainly not a coincidence and meant to convey something;” and “you don’t say you were blackmailed!”

Ambinder responded: “got it,” Breitbart reported.

And his published piece in the Atlantic read like this: “When you think of President Obama’s foreign policy, think of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. That’s the message behind a muscular speech that Clinton is set to deliver today to the Council on Foreign Relations. The staging gives a clue to its purpose: seated in front of Clinton, subordinate to Clinton, in the first row, will be potentially rival power centers: envoys Richard Holbrooke and George Mitchell and National Security Council senior director Rep. Dennis Ross (F-FL).”

Gawker asked about Ambinder’s views of the matter and said he didn’t remember the email back-and-forth but that “it made me uncomfortable then and it makes me uncomfortable today.”

Nobody Believes the Media Anymore: “Trust Has Eroded to Just 6 Percent” Of Americans

The truth is, most Americans have understood that the network news and television broadcasts are filled with lies for a while now.

Only, Americans in general put up with the lies for a long time, so long as they still had good jobs, and a decent opportunity as security and a good life.

Nowadays, the squeeze is on. The economic pressure and the growing underclass of government-dependent zombies are all too clear. Many people are becoming sophisticated at sorting out untruths and self-serving propaganda.

The B.S. broadcasting 24/7 on cable news is tiresome. Establishment newspapers and other government-sanctioned liars are losing their grip to the Internet, and today’s Americans are apt to shrug off their old gatekeepers and instead seek out news and information that responds to their concerns.

As the Associated Press demonstrates, this is no fringe movement – basically nobody believes the media anymore, and they are largely seen as complicit in the corruption of the system in Washington, on Wall Street and in countless avenues of everyday life.

Just about everyone alive today is onto their agenda.

According to the AP:

    Trust in the news media is being eroded by perceptions of inaccuracy and bias, fueled in part by Americans’ skepticism about what they read on social media.

    Just 6 percent of people say they have a lot of confidence in the media, putting the news industry about equal to Congress and well below the public’s view of other institutions.

    […]

    Faced with ever-increasing sources of information, Americans also are more likely to rely on news that is up-to-date, concise and cites expert sources or documents, according to a study by the Media Insight Project… the expectations of news consumers have increased.

    […]

    Nearly 90 percent of Americans say it’s extremely or very important that the media get their facts correct, according to the study. About 4 in 10 say they can remember a specific incident that eroded their confidence in the media, most often one that dealt with accuracy or a perception that it was one-sided.

The understated difference is not just the existence of the Internet and iPhone, but the menu of options that allows readers to interact and seek out news and information in a proactive way. They aren’t confined to just three channels anymore…

Users are no longer held captive to corporate influence and government talking points. There are endless websites for all points in the political spectrum.

So, while the study shows how corrupt and untrustworthy the government, political candidates and media/news personalities have become, the positive news is that the future about much more than just being spoon-fed “news” that is fortified with elements of the agenda being worked behind the scenes.

The study cited by the AP notes:

    Rosenstiel said people who use social media are “hunting pretty carefully for cues” in deciding whether to click on an item of news to read more. The most important factor in determining trust: whether or not they know the original source of the story.

But there is also the potential danger of group think that arises from people forming ideological cliques and refusing to venture beyond the backwaters of thinking in only one way and subconsciously pursuing confirmation bias. (But there’s no utopia, and we must take the good with the bad.)

The dinosaur media will be studied by cultural paleontologists of the near future, obsessed, perhaps with images of ourselves through the recent past.

As they peer into this bizarre system of controlled information, they will question why anybody ever listened to a handful of speaker-reporters who all learned to talk in a phoney cadence and regurgitate talking points literally issued from a centralized source.

This is literally true at most call-letter news stations. Just check out this hilarious but disturbing clip from Conan O’Brien:

Looking for an Alternative? Nearly No Americans Trust the News Media

You’d be hard pressed to find an American that trusts the media these days, citing skepticism, bias, and inaccuracy, though Democrats are more likely to believe than Republicans or Independents.

Only 6% of those polled asserted that they have “a lot of confidence” in the media, according to a new study by the Media Insight Project, a partnership of The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research and the American Press Institute.

The survey found that accuracy is the biggest issue Americans have with the media, with nearly 90% of people stating that it is extremely or very important for the press to have their facts correct.

Approximately 40% claimed that they couldn’t remember a specific incident that made them lose their faith in the media, but most often the study found that trust was lost after incidents that involved accuracy or a clear editorial bias.

With fierce competition from alternative media, as well as instant updates on news events on social media, such as Twitter, the push to be first appears to be forcing outlets to publish without necessarily waiting for the facts.

"The most important thing that news organizations can do is be accurate, and while we know that is a high value, this study reinforces that," Margaret Sullivan, public editor of The New York Times — a paper that has been widely criticised as currently having a strong bias in favor of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton — told AP. “Even if it goes against the competitive push to be first, she said, "perhaps there has to be a willingness to wait a little bit to be right."

Meanwhile, publishers of some of the largest online news outlets have been in a panic amid layoffs. In the month of April alone, Mashable laid off 30 people and Salon is in the process of downsizing as well.

The poll was conducted from February 18 through March 21, and used a sample of 2,014 adults. The margin of error for their findings was plus or minus 2.9%.

Obama To Press: You Have ‘Responsibility’ ‘To Question,’ Thanks For Working ‘Side-By-Side’ With Me

During Saturday’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner, President Obama told the media they have a “responsibility to dig, and to question,” and “It has been an honor and a privilege to work side-by-side with you to strengthen our democracy.”

Obama told the press, “t’s not enough just to give people a megaphone, and that’s why your power and your responsibility to dig, and to question, and to counter distortions and untruths is more important than ever. Taking a stand on behalf of what is true does not require you shedding your objectivity. In fact, it is the essence of good journalism.”

He concluded, “I want to close my final White House Correspondents’ Dinner by just saying, thank you. I’m very proud of what you’ve done. It has been an honor and a privilege to work side-by-side with you to strengthen our democracy.”

Why Did NBC News Sit on Explosive Story About Clinton’s Alleged Hacked Email Server For Weeks?

As LawNewz.com reported on Wednesday evening, NBC News was the second major news network to announce an upcoming interview with the notorious Romanian hacker Marcel Lehel Lazar, better known by the name “Guccifer.”

Lazar, whose actions led to the exposure of Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server, was extradited to the United States in March.  He is alleged to have posted emails that were sent to then-Secretary of State Clinton on the internet, including correspondence from close Clinton family confidant Sidney Blumenthal. Lazar was extradited to the United States just as reports indicate that the FBI investigation into Clinton’s email server was in in full swing. Lazar is charged with wire fraud, cyberstalking, identify theft, unauthorized access to computers and obstruction of justice.

According to the NBC News press release, Lazar was interviewed by reporter Cynthia McFadden from a Bucharest prison, where he admitted to also hacking into Clinton’s private e-mail account.  Here is the transcript from the upcoming NBC interview special, On Assignment:

###

CYNTHIA McFADDEN:

When Hillary Clinton says that her server is absolutely safe – you’re laughing.

MARCEL LEHEL LAZAR (GUCCIFER):

That’s a lie.

McFADDEN:

That’s a lie?

GUCCIFER:

Yes.

McFADDEN:

It’s not safe.

GUCCIFER:

It’s not safe at all.

# # #

As you can see from the transcript, Lazar is openly admitting to hacking Clinton’s private e-mail account.  The same private e-mail account where federal officials found over 2,000 e-mails that contained classified information, including at least 22 deemed to contain “Top Secret” information.  That is pretty explosive information. To note, Clinton’s campaign has already fired back, in a statement saying “There is absolutely no basis to believe the claims made by this criminal from his prison cell.”

Now, this is where things get a little strange.  As was noted earlier, NBC News says Lazar made these claims to McFadden during an interview in a Bucharest prison and we know Lazar was extradited to the United States on or about March 31, 2016.  So, it stands to reason that McFadden conducted the interview before he was extradited to the U.S. which means NBC News was sitting on these explosive claims for more than one month.  Which begs the question, why would a major news network sit on such an explosive allegation — especially when the claim directly relates to a presidential candidate and the biggest story the 2016 presidential election cycle?

Understandably, production on a special might take longer than usual — but given the story — networks have turned interviews around in mere minutes.

The delay cost them what would’ve been a huge exclusive, or at least seemed to prompt them to hurry and put something out as Fox News went with its own story and interview with Lazar late Wednesday. Fox News clearly did their interview with the hacker after he arrived in the United States. As they mentioned, they visited him in a Virginia jail.

We reached out to NBC News for clarification and a spokesman declined to comment at this time.

MSNBC Calls Bill Clinton's Affairs 'Alleged'

"Alleged misconduct."  :D

At least two programs on MSNBC Monday referred to former president Bill Clinton's well-documented past philandering as "alleged" in response Donald Trump ripping into Queen Hillary last weekend for backing up her husband.

"She was a total enabler," said Trump over the weekend. "She would go after these women and destroy their lives. I mean have you ever read what Hillary Clinton did to the women that Bill Clinton had affairs with? And they're going after me with women? Give me a break"

MSNBC's first cover for Clinton came when Tamron Hall asked CNBC Washington correspondent John Harwood about Trump's "vicious attacks" against Hillary for throwing so many women under the bus to protect her husband's rise to power:

John, before this morning, the lead was probably these vicious attacks that Trump has leveled against Hillary Clinton, her husband's affair or affairs, alleged affairs. Now it's his flip-flop on taxes and the problems this presents again with his own party.

The panel that followed Tamron Hall's tap dance made no effort to challenge her.

Later in the afternoon, MSNBC host Thomas Roberts played the same language game, choosing instead to describe Bill Clinton's egregious behavior during his presidency as "alleged misconduct."

Roberts expressed dismay that  Trump was "going right for the jugular when it comes to Hillary Clinton and going after Bill Clinton and alleged misconduct with women."

For anyone experiencing bouts of amnesia, no "alleged misconduct" or "alleged affair" took place during Bill Clinton's presidency. We know this because he went on national television and publicly admitted to engaging in sexual acts in the oval office with 22-year-old intern Monica Lewinsky.

The president was 50-years-old and married when these "inappropriate" acts took place.

Obama Has Last Laugh as Iran Deal Lies Revealed Too Late

Like the Biblical serpent in the Garden of Eden, the Obama administration has manipulated the American public into supporting a nuclear deal, possibly against their own best interests, a senior security advisor gloated to The New York Times. In a profile of Deputy National Security Advisor for Strategic Communications Ben Rhodes written by reporter David Samuels, the former acknowledged that a carefully crafted campaign to misrepresent the background of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) between Iran and 6 major Western powers was deliberately executed to smoothe the way for the US to disengage from Middle Eastern affairs.

The profile details Rhodes’s transition from aspiring novelist to political writer, as well as his career path to the White House. It focuses on Rhodes’s elaborate spin campaign in favor of the nuclear deal, which critics claim leaves far too much room for Iran to develop the nuclear weapon negotiations were meant to prevent.

Officially, negotiations began when a more moderate government, led by President Hassan Rouhani, was elected in Iran in 2013. In reality, however, Rhodes pointed out, they were initiated in 2012, many months before Rouhani took power. In Samuels’s analysis, “Even where the particulars of that story are true, the implications that readers and viewers are encouraged to take away from those particulars are often misleading or false.”

Rhodes is particularly flippant in describing his methods. “All these newspapers used to have foreign bureaus,” he told Samuels. “Now they don’t. They call [the White House] to explain to them what’s happening in Moscow and Cairo. Most of the outlets are reporting on world events from Washington. The average reporter we talk to is 27 years old, and their only reporting experience consists of being around political campaigns. That’s a sea change. They literally know nothing.”


According to Samuels’s piece, “Rhodes has become adept at ventriloquizing many people at once.” He knows how to navigate the new world of social and electronic media to ensure his version of the truth is circulating.

“We created an echo chamber,” he admitted to Samuels, when asked about the flood of experts suddenly expressing support for the JCPOA. “They were saying things that validated what we had given them to say.” In addition, “We had test drives to know who was going to be able to carry our message effectively, and how to use outside groups like Ploughshares, the Iran Project and whomever else. So we knew the tactics that worked.”

According to Samuels, he is proud of the way he sold the Iran deal. “We drove them crazy,” he said of the deal’s opponents.

Rhodes explained to Samuels the drive behind President Barack Obama’s policies in Iran and elsewhere in the Middle East, putting appeasement of enemies ahead of supporting allies. According to Rhodes, it’s all about avoiding another war. “We don’t have to kind of be in cycles of conflict if we can find other ways to resolve these issues,” he said. “We can do things that challenge the conventional thinking that, you know, ‘AIPAC doesn’t like this,’ or ‘the Israeli government doesn’t like this,’ or ‘the gulf countries don’t like it.’ It’s the possibility of improved relations with adversaries. It’s nonproliferation. So all these threads that the president’s been spinning — and I mean that not in the press sense — for almost a decade, they kind of all converged around Iran.”

To appreciate the implications of this policy, Samuels turned to Leon Panetta, former CIA director and Secretary of Defense, both under the Obama administration. Panetta confirmed that Rouhani’s election was no more than a useful smokescreen for nuclear negotiations and had nothing to do with any actual change in the Islamic Republic’s policies.

“There was not much question that the Quds Force and the supreme leader ran that country with a strong arm,” Panetta told Samuels, “and there was not much question that this kind of opposing view could somehow gain any traction.”

That doesn’t matter, though, according to Rhodes. “Look, with Iran, in a weird way, these are state-to-state issues. They’re agreements between governments. Yes, I would prefer that it turns out that Rouhani and Zarif” — Mohammad Javad Zarif, Iran’s foreign minister — “are real reformers who are going to be steering this country into the direction that I believe it can go in, because their public is educated and, in some respects, pro-American. But we are not betting on that.”

Panetta also told Samuels that while he once believed Obama would make the tough decisions and take military action against Iran should it become apparent that the Islamic Republic was developing a nuclear weapon, today he is not so sure.

Panetta was tasked with ensuring Israel would not strike Iran preemptively during negotiations. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and then-defence minister Ehud Barak “were both interested in the answer to the question, ‘Is the president serious?’ ” Panetta recalled to Samuels. “And you know my view, talking with the president, was: If brought to the point where we had evidence that they’re developing an atomic weapon, I think the president is serious that he is not going to allow that to happen.”

However, “Would I make that same assessment now?” he went on. “Probably not.”

Rhodes’s cavalier attitude towards the truth and open public discourse have brought harsh criticism in the wake of the Samuels profile. Algemeiner reported that journalists and pundits alike have lashed out at the Obama advisor, adding a few sharp words for those who fell for his tricks hook, line and sinker.

New York Post columnist John Podhoretz wrote in a Thursday oped that the White House “played us for fools”, adding, “Congratulations, liberals of the Washington press corps and elite organizations: You’re a bunch of suckers. We all know this because the Obama White House just told us so.”

Meanwhile, Omri Ceren, a senior staffer at The Israel Project (TIP), a group which opposed the Iran deal, took a page out of Rhodes’s own book, posting via Twitter,  “When Rhodes and company brag about how they manipulated their favorite journalists, you don’t get the sense they respect those journalists.” He also tweeted,

CBS News Political Director: 'Our Job' to Steer Away from the Clintons' Past
Your JOB is to report the truth

"Elections are supposed to be about the future."

https://youtu.be/nx3q-c-5Ew0

CBS News political director John Dickerson told Stephen Colbert that part of a journalist's job when it comes to covering Bill and Hillary Clinton is to steer conversations away from their pasts.

This stunning admission came Wednesday night in New York City in a live interview that took audience questions. A question surfaced about Bill Clinton's past and how that could affect Hillary's chances in the presidential election.

Colbert reiterated the question and added his own tag: "Can Bill Clinton’s past take down Hillary Clinton’s future? I will also say, add Hillary Clinton’s past in there. Can things from the ‘90s count now?”

Dickerson responded:

"Well it’s ah...so it feels like this campaign’s going to be a lot about Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton’s past and Donald Trump’s past. Elections are supposed to be about the future. And it feels like we are not, um, we’re not having that conversation. Although we’ve tried it. Actually, you know, one of our jobs is to try to take the conversation and make it about the future and people’s lives, not about adjudicating the past."

Dickerson did say an exception could be made if that "past goes to character and temperament which is crucial because we’re not going to be there when the big decisions are made and you need people who have the character and the temperament for the job."

The Clintons would seem to qualify for his exception, yet Dickerson said, "So, um, I don't know."

Colbert noted that an e-mail from the Donald Trump campaign was accidentally sent to a journalist at Politico that stated an internal plan to start bringing up the Clinton Whitewater scandal from the '90s.

"Which just proves that Hillary Clinton is the second worst at using e-mail," he quipped.

Dickerson laughed and added, "Although you could argue that she's very good at using e-mail."

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/dallas-conservatives-rebel-against-drudge-144308586.html
After Dallas, conservatives rebel against the Drudge Report
7/10/16

"BLACK LIVES KILL."

Those were the three words that blared across the Drudge Report early Friday morning after five Dallas police officers were killed in a horrific ambush attack.

And immediately upon seeing the race-baiting headline, conservatives rebelled against a once reliable ally who has become more and more divisive to them over the course of the 2016 campaign.

“In moments like these, we should do the opposite of what Drudge is doing,” Commentary Magazine Editor Noah Rothman wrote on Twitter.

“Responsible reporting as always,” sarcastically tweeted Jeff Blehar, from the popular Ace of Spades blog.

Others piled on.

Allahpundit, an influential anonymous conservative blogger, skewered the site for a subsequent banner headline claiming a “black power group” had claimed responsibility for the attack.

“Dallas chief says suspect told them before he died that he wasn’t part of a group,” the blogger wrote.

And David French, the National Review writer who flirted with a third-party presidential run, went as far as to say that he had deleted the Drudge Report app from his phone.



The anti-Drudge sentiment had been simmering for months. But it seemed to finally come to a boil with the Drudge Report’s coverage of the Dallas attack.

Since its inception in 1996, the Drudge Report has been a home to conservatives who feel disenfranchised by traditional media. Drudge has marketed his website as a news destination not controlled by corporate interests or politicians.

But that's a narrative that was heavily challenged during the 2016 Republican Primary, when it became clear the news aggregator was pushing a pro-Trump agenda.

Many conservatives who frequent the right-wing link aggregator had grown upset over how founder Matt Drudge had covered the 2016 election. The Drudge Report, they say, trashed true-bred conservatives like Ted Cruz in favor of promoting a squishy moderate in Donald Trump.

“I don’t know what the hell happened to Matt Drudge,” Glenn Beck, the prominent conservative talk-show host and founder of The Blaze, said in March.

The Drudge Report, operating from the same playbook as Trump, has used the racial tension in the country to generate page views, its critics say. And the website’s controversial three-word headline in the aftermath of the Dallas attack was the final straw.

“Matt Drudge, for whom my late friend Andrew Breitbart used to work closely and for whom I used to fill in on his old national radio show, is not a conservative,” conservative talk-radio host John Ziegler told Business Insider. “He is a brilliant businessman who doesn't care at all about the conservative cause.”

Comedy Central Cancels Larry Wilmore
"I’m really grateful to Comedy Central."

 :D

Comedy Central's ongoing effort to replace political propagandists Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert has yielded dismal results, with Trevor Noah's The Daily Show tanking in the ratings and the now-cancelation of Larry Wilmore's Nightly Show.

Getting his start as Jon Stewart's "Senior Black Correspondent," Comedy Central tapped Wilmore to replace Stephen Colbert after snagging David Letterman's coveted spot on CBS. Amidst largely unfruitful ratings, Wilmore's last show will air Thursday night.

"I’m really grateful to Comedy Central, Jon Stewart, and our fans to have had this opportunity," Wilmore said in a statement. "But I’m also saddened and surprised we won’t be covering this crazy election or ‘The Unblackening’ as we’ve coined it. And keeping it 100, I guess I hadn’t counted on ‘The Unblackening’ happening to my time slot as well."

According to Comedy Central's president Kent Alterman, this "unblackening" came as a result of Wilmore's inability to pull in the viewers.

"Even as the show has evolved creatively, it hasn’t seemed to connect with our audience, which is disconcerting and disappointing to us," Alterman told USA Today. "When we took a hard look —  especially after the conventions, where we also didn’t see any traction we were hoping for — we didn’t have enough evidence to justify committing to another year."

From Breitbart:

Wilmore struggled in the ratings almost immediately after taking over for Colbert in January 2015. By February of this year, Wilmore’s ratings were down 55% from theColbert Report, and coverage of the Republican and Democratic National Conventions and a controversial stint hosting the White House Correspondents Dinner earlier this year didn’t translate into higher ratings.

While hosting the White House Correspondents Dinner, Wilmore sparked controversy when he uttered the word "nigga" on national television while addressing President Obama.

"Words alone do me no justice," said Wilmore. "So, Mr. President, if I’m going to keep it 100: Yo, Barry, you did it, my nigga. You did it!"

Unfortunately, Mr. Wilmore, as the cancelation of your show indicates, you didn't.

WATCH TEN MINUTES OF CNN AND MSNBC CUTTING OFF PEOPLE WHO DARE CRITICIZE CROOKED HILLARY
In the compilation video, the YouTube channel "Centipede Productions" has amassed 10 minutes worth of CNN claiming technical difficulties, shouting down guests, and flat-out cutting the microphone of people who attempt to speak the facts pertaining to Hillary Clinton's scandal-ridden past and present.

T’S NO SECRET THAT THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA IS A GIANT LIBERAL CESSPOOL WILLING TO DO AND SAY ANYTHING TO MAKE SURE THEIR DEMOCRAT CANDIDATE GETS ELECTED. IN THIS CASE IT’S HILLARY CLINTON.

EDITOR’S NOTE: In case you have been wondering why the liberal media never talks about Crooked Hillary’s email scandals, her husband’s molestation scandals, Benghazi, Whitewater, Rose Law Firm, or 50 former friends and associates who are now dead, wonder no more. Yes, it is a conspiracy, and they are all covering for her. Watch and see for yourself.

Yet in the midst of two consecutive email scandals, her record of failure, including letting four Americans die in Benghazi, and having the father of the terrorist responsible for the worst attack since 9/11 sitting behind her at a recent rally, all the media can report is, “Hey, look, Trump said something distasteful again!”

In the compilation video (below), the YouTube channel “Centipede Productions” has amassed 10 minutes worth of CNN claiming technical difficulties, shouting down guests, and flat-out cutting the microphone of people who attempt to speak the facts pertaining to Hillary Clinton’s scandal-ridden past and present.

https://youtu.be/0Y60H5au3vo

The video begins with a correspondent having her live feed cut off just as she’s detailing Clinton’s record on supporting laws that the Left now believes unfairly targeted minorities in the 90s. It moves on to a hilarious moment where a CNN host throws to a clip she thought would be angry African Americans protesting Trump, but turns out to be a black pro-Trump supporter talking about the racial unity he’s found at the rallies and the media’s determination to race-bait, which is exactly what that host was trying to do. Hi-lari-ous!

Another host slams a conservative guest as lying when in reality she was repeating the talking points of FBI Director Comey’s press conference about Hillary’s secret-home email server, which was filled with classified information she denied was ever there.

WHICH BRINGS US TO THE KING OF ALL INTOLERANT CNN HOSTS, DON LEMON, WHO WILL CUT THE MIC ON ANYONE WHO DARES SPEAK A FACT ABOUT CLINTON (OR OBAMA) THAT HE DOESN’T AGREE WITH. IN THIS CLIP, HE CUTS THE MIC OF A GUEST WHO DARED BRING UP THAT HILLARY WAS COMPLICIT IN THE MANY SEXUAL HARASSMENT SITUATIONS HER HUSBAND IS FAMOUS FOR.

The final portion is host Anderson Cooper cutting off a guest who once again dared to speak facts about Hillary that were already reported on CNN and many other news outlets, but were clearly not what the host wanted to hear. Specifically, the guest was bringing up the point that Hillary, who’s campaigning on being a woman who is “for women,” was caught on tape bragging about how she got a child rapist off on a technicality. source

CBS Edits Out Bill Clinton's Revealing Verbal Slip on Hillary's Health

During Monday night's CBS Evening News broadcast, a clip of Charlie Rose interviewing Bill Clinton omitted what some would call a Freudian-like slip from Clinton on the status of his wife's health. Though Clinton corrected himself mid-statement, it was not a message the Clinton campaign, or apparently CBS, wanted out in the public, so they edited it out.

The network backpedaled Tuesday and included the full quote on their morning show but the damage had already been done. Tuesday morning's cable shows on CNN, MSNBC and Fox all used the edited clip from CBS instead.

As you can see in the video below, the edit in the second clip from CBS Evening News is so seamless without any visible transition that it's clear CBS was trying to make it appear that this was the full response from Clinton.

The Daily Caller's Chuck Ross first noted the discrepancy between what was played on TV and what CBS' website read. Here is the full quote posted on CBS' website:

    BILL CLINTON: Well if it is, it's a mystery to me and all of her doctors, because frequently—well not frequently, rarely—but on more than one occasion, over the last many, many years, the same sort of thing happened to her when she got severely dehydrated.

This isn't the first time this election we've seen some aggressive editing from the networks. The liberal media has a habit of trying to make people say things they didn't say to fit an agenda.

American trust in news media falls to lowest level in history: Gallup poll
The Washington Times http://www.washingtontimes.com

A major pollster has some stark news: “Americans’ trust and confidence in the mass media ‘to report the news fully, accurately and fairly’ has dropped to its lowest level in Gallup polling history, with 32 percent saying they have a great deal or fair amount of trust in the media. This is down eight percentage points from last year,” writes Art Swift, an analyst for the Gallup poll, which first asked the nation to weigh in on the press in 1972.

“Over the history of the entire trend, Americans’ trust and confidence hit its highest point in 1976, at 72 percent, in the wake of widely lauded examples of investigative journalism regarding Vietnam and the Watergate scandal,” Mr. Swift said.

The sentiment has fallen slowly and steadily, and has consistently been below a majority level since 2007.

“Republicans who say they have trust in the media has plummeted to 14 percent from 32% a year ago. This is easily the lowest confidence among Republicans in 20 years,” the analyst noted.

Among Democrats, the number is 51 percent, among independents, it is 30 percent.

“While it is clear Americans’ trust in the media has been eroding over time, the election campaign may be the reason that it has fallen so sharply this year,” Mr. Swift said.

“With many Republican leaders and conservative pundits saying Hillary Clinton has received overly positive media attention, while Donald Trump has been receiving unfair or negative attention, this may be the prime reason their relatively low trust in the media has evaporated even more. It is also possible that Republicans think less of the media as a result of Trump’s sharp criticisms of the press.”

The poll of 1,020 U.S. adults was conducted Sept. 7-11.

Then just now, my mom told me it just disappeared off of the CNN site.

MSNBC Interview Bails on Black Trump Supporters When They Criticize Media

Oh, sorry! That’s all the time we have for today.

Jacob Rascon was reporting for MSNBC this week from Charlotte, North Carolina and saw an opportunity to interview three black Donald Trump supporters to find out why they’re voting that way. But because their response didn’t fit the narrative his, and other networks perpetuate, the interview was cut short in the nick of time.

A father, mother (Gloria), and daughter (Trina) were approached by Rascon and asked their thoughts on Trump’s inner-city policies that have been panned by critics.

“Well, I think that Trump is reaching out to all citizens including African-Americans,” Trina said. “That’s what a president should do for us. He should reach out and try to help people and address problems that are going on in our country.”

Rascon’s baiting queries continued: “Some of the criticisms have been about ‘what do you have to lose.’ What do you think about that criticism?”

Gloria stepped up to the plate and swung hard:

    “My word to all black Americans, one thing I would like to say: let’s not be deceived. Look at the record. Look at the promises that have been made over the past from the Democratic Party.

    “We’re not voting for a party. We’re voting for a man who has been standing by all citizens. He loves America. That’s what I love about him. He loves America. We need somebody that loves America.”

But Gloria wasn’t through, and she took a bit out of the media:

    “And he also loves all people — all people. And there’s that deception out there that he has no black supporters. Wrong! He does.”

And on that note, Rascon had had enough and abruptly ended the interview, just like his cohort did earlier this year when she cut the feed to a black Trump supporter who condemned the media’s constant race baiting:

Here’s another video that’s made the rounds this election cycle showing a CNN reporter put in his place by a black Trump supporter that is sick and tired of the media painting the Republican candidate as a white supremacist. The theme of how the Democratic Party has kept blacks on the plantation makes another appearance here, as well:

America is finally waking up from its long slumber.

Wikileaks Provides More Proof of Media Corruption: Clinton PAC Provided 372 Newsmakers With 80 Sets of Pro-Hillary, Anti-Trump Talking Points

 Wikileaks, through its release of Clinton Campaign chairman John Podesta's emails, has provided a trove of information and irrefutable proof of just how deeply corrupt America's power centers are.

From the Department of Justice to the FBI to the White House and State Department to the one institution meant to be the watchdog of them all -- the media -- America's most sacred institutions have fallen from grace, proving to be nothing more than lackeys beholden to the Clinton machine.

As Wikileaks releases tens of thousands of documents worthy of scrutiny, our media remain silent -- and they do so because they are implicated in the worst aspects of the corruption.

In email #5636 to John Podesta from Mary Pat Bonner -- a powerful "donor adviser" of Clinton -- and accompanying documents attached, we learned that the Hillary Clinton campaign has been working with no less than 372 news makers to shape an anti-Trump narrative across all mainstream media.

Through the email attachments, the pro-Hillary SuperPAC, Correct the Record (CTR) "has identified 372 surrogates including influential and frequent pundits on broadcast and cable news for Presidential 2016 politics and provided them around 80 sets of talking points."

What, exactly, those talking points are all about is made clear on CTR's own website. While CTR states that its mission is to amplify Hillary Clinton's "accomplishments," the PAC is instead exclusively dedicated to smearing Trump and peddling narratives like the one about Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin being bosom buddies (never mind the fact that there is no proof Russia is behind the "hacked" Podesta emails, nor is there proof that the Podesta emails were even hacked at all). The featured image on this post comes directly from CTR's own website, in fact.

Now recall that whenever a Clinton surrogate is interviewed any of the mainstream networks about the Wikileaks revelations, the very first set of talking points they resort to is: "Russia is interfering in our elections to help elect Trump."

With this in mind, consider the email attachments titled "CTR" in the email linked to below. It provides documentation about how hundreds media members are using pro-Hillary talking points. Those documents can be accessed here. Under the subheading "ACTIVITIES" CTR describes the extent of the media's collusion with camp Clinton:

    MEDIA RELATIONS: Correct The Record staff members have conducted over 900 on-the-record and off-the-record media interviews, including over 150 since CTR became independent of AB, to correct facts in stories going to print or on air, to counter-punch and balance Republican attacks on Clinton, and to kill negative stories before they are even published.

    IMPACTING THE DIALOGUE: CTR has identified 372 surrogates including influential and frequent pundits on broadcast and cable news for Presidential 2016 politics and provided them around 80 sets of talking points, background materials and briefings on topical issues to defend and accurately portray Clinton and her record since the split, more than 400 in total.

    Correct The Record hosted 8 media training sessions in New Hampshire, Nevada, Ohio, Colorado, Minnesota, Michigan, DC, and at the DNC meeting, attended by nearly 150 surrogates since the split. In total, CTR has held 16 training sessions in California, New Hampshire, Iowa, Nevada, and South Carolina. To better prepare themselves to defend and promote Hillary Clinton, over 200 surrogates have attended these trainings.

    Correct The Record also distributes media advisories to 960 members of the national media and 10,756 regional reporters in 28 states including Wisconsin, Florida, South Carolina, Kentucky, Iowa, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Colorado, California, Virginia, North Carolina, and Ohio. Talking points and memos are also distributed regularly to 369 televisions producers and bookers.

That is an astounding reach -- one that surpasses what we already knew about the media's collusion with Clinton to date -- and explains perfectly why we are not seeing Wikileaks revelations covered in mainstream media.

For reference, Mary Pat Bonner's firm, The Bonner Group, is deeply invested in the left-wing machine, raising tens of millions for progressive groups for which she receives a hefty cut. She is also linked to progressive operative David Brock (who is featured in the seating chart listed in the email below).

A New York Times profile of so-called "donor advisers" wrote that "a constellation of left-leaning nonprofits and 'super PACs' are raising tens of millions of dollars to pave the way for Hillary Rodham Clinton’s presidential campaign — and nearly all of them have paid Mary Pat Bonner a cut."

The Times goes on to name "American Bridge 21st Century, Media Matters for America and the super PAC Ready for Hillary, have paid Ms. Bonner’s consulting firm in excess of $6 million to help them cultivate wealthy donors and raise money, according to tax filings and campaign disclosures."

MSM Declares War On Drudge & All Conservative Alternative Media Websites, Calls Them 'Russian Propaganda' Sites
- They Just Bit The Hand That Feeds Them

Evidently highlighting Hillary Clinton's strange behaviors, her inability to climb stairs without the help of two secret services agents, her habit of falling down,  her passing out on 9/11, her criminal activities, and the fact that Democratic operatives paid protesters to interrupt Donald Trump events, is all "fake news" and Russia propaganda according to the MSM, despite visual evidence, leaked emails and the Project Veritas hidden camera footage.

The Washington Post published a story titled "Russian propaganda effort helped spread ‘fake news’ during election, experts say," where they claim "experts" have determined that the Russians used American Alternative News sites to spread anti-Hillary propaganda during the brutal presidential campaign.

Via Gateway Pundit who quotes the Washington Post article, because I certainly won't link to WAPO.

Russia’s increasingly sophisticated propaganda machinery — including thousands of botnets, teams of paid human “trolls,” and networks of Web sites and social-media accounts — echoed and amplified right-wing sites across the Internet as they portrayed Clinton as a criminal hiding potentially fatal health problems and preparing to hand control of the nation to a shadowy cabal of global financiers. The effort also sought to heighten the appearance of international tensions and promote fear of looming hostilities with nuclear-armed Russia.

Here is how The Hill describes the "news" from the Wapo article:

The coverage was overwhelmingly favorable to Donald Trump, and some of the most notable examples of fake news garnering major traffic online centered on Hillary Clinton’s health, protesters that were allegedly paid to interrupt Trump events, and fears about vote tampering.

"The way that this propaganda apparatus supported Trump was equivalent to some massive amount of a media buy," said the executive director of PropOrNot, who spoke on the condition of anonymity with the Post. "It was like Russia was running a super PAC for Trump’s campaign."

A look at the website Wapo cited, called Propaganda or Not, or PropOrNot, lists hundreds of websites they consider in their "expert" opinion to have spread Russian propaganda against Hillary Clinton, naturally targeting conservative Alternative News websites, including the Drudge Report.

Other websites named include some of the following which many alternative news readers should be familiar with such as Activist Post, America's Freedom Fighters, All News PipeLine, Freedom Outpost, Healthnut News, Zero Hedge, Natural News, Infowars, Prison Planet, We Are Change, SHTF Plan, and many, many more.

Much like the list of supposed "fake news" sites that the LA Times recently linked to, but has since been taken offline, PropOrNot attempts to conflate fakes news with Alternative News, in a concentrated effort to help the mainstream media regain control of the "message."

These coordinated attacks by the MSM against Alternative News websites are nothing more than the MSM's little temper tantrum that they can no longer control the narrative and lead the sheep in the direction the MSM wants them to go and influence their every decision.

BITING THE HAND THAT FEEDS YOU

At some point or another almost all Independent news sites, such as ANP, have linked to MSM, for quotes or other bits of information, meaning revenue for the MSM from their online advertising by traffic Alternative News sites have sent them, but no one sends more traffic to the MSM than Matt Drudge, who has been listed as the most influential person in the American media.

By citing a site and a supposed "expert" from PropOrNot, which is attempting to claim that the Drudge Report is pushing Russian propaganda, the Washington post is biting the very hand that feeds them millions upon millions of hits in traffic each and every month, as seen in the chart below, showing how much traffic Drudge has sent to different sites from January to July 2015.

The Washington Post, much like many other MSM outlets, have become dependent on digital revenue versus revenue from their printed publication which has seen a massive decline across the board, so citing a source that claims Drudge is pushing Russian propaganda is nothing short of a declaration of war against Drudge and any website listed that reported on Clinton health issues and criminal activities.

The Drudge Report has moved into second place in the top publishers and publications in the US as of July 2016, according to SimilarWeb,  with 1.472 billion page-views, showing his influence is increasing and any site linked to by Drudge is generating an astounding amount of revenue just from being linked to by Matt Drudge.

Recently Sean Hannity highlighted the mainstream media that had openly opposed Donald Trump, while colluding with the Clinton campaign and called on Donald Trump to "change the 'traditional' relationship that the press will have with the White House, stating in the video below "Now in the day and age of Twitter and Facebook and Instagram, does Trump really need to be granting access to biased journalists that openly oppose him? Just look at the video the President elect released yesterday, it was detailing actions that he will take on key issues during his first 100 days in office. Now Trump can do this and speak directly to you, the American people, without having his words twisted and taken out of context - why not do that?"

Hannity continued on to say "So until members of the media come clean about colluding with the Clinton campaign and admit that they knowingly broke every ethical standard they are supposed to uphold, they should not have the privilege, they should not have the responsibility of covering the president on behalf of you, the American people."

Listen below:

https://youtu.be/IL07je3qXvc

We at ANP happen to agree with Hannity that Trump should freeze out the press, go around them, speak directly to the American people and let the MSM get their "news" via alternative sources, they will report on it either way, but they will not be able to lie as blatantly as they can by being granted first-hand access.

Joe Lockhart, who served as White House press secretary for President Bill Clinton, is quoted by The Hill as stating "Every incoming president has basic, generally agreed upon rules of the road. The Trump team has decided they’ll blow up and the road and build a new one. Where it goes from here will be a test of how far the new president and his team want to push things, and the strength and will of the press to push back."

The article also details the push from the press to demand access to Trump, while admitting "there are no laws requiring that an administration maintain a press pool or even that news outlets have access to administration officials, the briefing room or White House grounds." Furthermore they point out that "Trump has little incentive to go through traditional media channels, some experts say," because "when Trump releases a straight-to-camera video to announce his 100-day agenda — as he did this week, in lieu of a press conference — it elicits the same volume of coverage as a press conference would."

BOTTOM LINE

We think this should also become a movement by Alternative Media sites and aggregation sites like the Drudge Report that link to the MSM, allowing them to generate revenue with their biased reporting and attacks against anyone that questions their official narrative and opposes their attempts to influence the public according to their own political biases and agendas.

This goes well beyond just a boycott of reading and watching the MSM, and directly to draining that MSM swamp and driving them into bankruptcy.

The MSM has killed traditional journalism, perhaps it time to write their obituary and give them the funeral they deserve and we should start with Jeff Bezo's Washington Post.

Tensions rise at CNN as the network aims for Trump
clinton news network

CNN is taking an increasingly negative approach toward its coverage of President-elect Trump, causing at least some tension within the network, inside sources told the Washington Examiner.

Trump, according to a New York Post story, told the network he wasn't happy with their coverage during an off-the-record meeting at his headquarters in Trump Tower this week. Trump critiqued the news media at large during the meeting, but CNN was one of the top targets, according to the Post's report.

Though Trump's team has said the meeting wasn't as tense as the Post's report, two high-level sources at CNN confirmed that their network was a primary target of the president-elect.

"CNN has always pledged to hold Trump accountable and that's what we should be doing," another source told the Examiner. "Since the election, CNN has out MSNBCed MSNBC," the source said, referring to the liberal slant at CNN's competitor. "In the long term, that's a dangerous place to be."

Like any credible news outlet, CNN is expected to scrutinize Trump and his incoming administration. But some inside the network have pointed to recent examples of what they considered to be an excessively hostile stance toward the Republican and his supporters.

During an interview with the New York Times on Tuesday, Trump was asked about his supporters in the so-called "alt-right," a loosely defined nationalist movement in which there is some support for the white supremacy movement.

"I condemn them. I disavow, and I condemn," Trump told the Times during the meeting. He also said he did not want to "energize" them.

But on Tuesday, CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer asked Republican National Committee spokesman Sean Spicer why Trump hasn't disavowed them "more dramatically."

In addition, some of the on-air exchanges with paid CNN contributors who support Trump have left some personnel there feeling uncomfortable.

On Tuesday, CNN contributor and Trump supporter John Philips was positioned opposite Democratic strategist Tharon Johnson to discuss a gathering last weekend of about 200 white supremacists in Washington, D.C., during which they were seen on video saying "Hail Trump."

Philips said in the exchange that the group was a "fringe" segment of Trump's overall support and that it was "unfair" to tie the president-elect to it.

CNN's official account posted the video of the exchange on Twitter, and summarized it as, "Tharon Johnson tells John Philips it's 'insulting' that he is trying to delegitimize and normalize [the] alt-right."

Like other news outlets, CNN has a rule against its on-air talent and contributors publicly disparaging each other or doing anything that might be perceived that way on social media.

But on Wednesday, after a segment featuring Trump supporter and CNN contributor Scottie Nell Hughes and Democrat Christine Quinn, CNN "New Day" anchor Chris Cuomo shared a tweet from a follower.

It said: "Quinn ate Hugh's LUNCH for breakfast on 'New Day'! Glad Cuomo jumped in to seal the deal…"

And earlier this month, CNN shared a video clip on its Facebook account of a heated back-and-forth between paid contributors Kayleigh McEnany, a Trump backer, and Van Jones, a former Obama administration official.

CNN's headline on the video said "Van Jones rebukes trump supporter in clash over internment camp rumors."

The Facebook account for CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360" also shared the video, highlighting it with a caption that quoted Jones saying, "I am disappointed in you now."

Another source at CNN said they felt "certain targeting of certain people" and that "this kind of targeting isn't fair by their own employer."

A spokesperson for CNN did not respond to a request for comment.

Using fake news against opposing views
The Washington Times http://www.washingtontimes.com

ANALYSIS/OPINION:

What worries me the most about fake news, isn’t that it’s fake, it’s that it’s being used by the left to try to silence opposing views.

Take for example a story reported by the Los Angeles Times that included a professor who put together a Google document of “false, misleading, clickbait-y and satirical ‘news sources’” to help people “cleanse their newsfeeds of misinformation.”

The only problem with the list, was it included real news sites of which the professor simply didn’t agree. Conservative blogs, including Red State and The Blaze, were on the list, as was more centrist, but GOP-leaning Independent Journal Review (IJR). None of those sites are fake — they often just peddle in the real news purposely not covered by the mainstream media.

“Not all of these sources are always or inherently problematic, neither are all of them fake or false,” the professor, Melissa Zimdars, at Merrimack College in Massachusetts told the Times. ” … They should be considered in conjunction with other news/info sources due to their tendency to rely on clickbait headlines or Facebook descriptions, etc.”

So, just like MSNBC, Huffington Post, Slate, Mother Jones, and ThinkProgress — all partisan left outlets, which often use exaggeration and hyperbole to emphasize their point — which weren’t included on her list.

CNN’s media columnist Brian Stelter also has warned about “fake news,” but in his diatribe, he included right-leaning Fox News and alt-right website Breitbart in the mix.

“Breitbart is anti-media. Much of Fox News is anti-media. Fake news websites and some right wing blogs are anti-media. These outlets provide a different audience with a different set of facts about the world. But too often what they’re really selling is opinion and conspiracy theory masquerading as fact. These sites, these outlets, they present themselves as the opposite of traditional news sources, the antidote to mainstream media,” he said.

What he’s right about is there does need to be an antidote to the mainstream media. Because often what he — and other newsrooms around the country — view as “opinion and conspiracy theory” are all too often real news stories that simply don’t fit their agenda.

The possibility that Donald Trump could become president? CNN never had a map that could get him to 270 electoral votes. Respected pollster FiveThirtyEight’s Nate Silver got chastised the week leading up to the election because he had Mr. Trump’s chances at about 30 percent — far higher than any of the broadcast networks or other pollsters who engaged in group-think.

Paid protesters are another example.

We know, after an undercover video was released by conservative group Project Veritas, that two Democratic operatives had to step down from their positions because it looked as though they were trying to hire protesters to incite violence at Mr. Trump’s rallies.

These two men didn’t lose their jobs because they were innocent — or because the videos were “highly edited” like the mainstream media charged. Clearly something was going on there. But only right-wing outlets (or “fake,” “anti-media” blogs) covered it, with barely a mention at CNN, NPR or any of the broadcast news networks.

When Mr. Trump said during a presidential debate that protesters were hired and told to do “bad things” at his rallies, PolitiFact even admitted that “too much remains unknown to put it on the Truth-O-Meter.”

So it seems like it would be something investigative journalists would want to, well, investigate.

But not according to Washington Post reporter Phillip Bump.

When Nebraska Sen. Ben Sasse asked on Twitter after the election, why wasn’t there more reporting on the anti-Trump protests — like who they were organized by and if they were paid for — Mr. Bump took offense.

“Sasse’s question is a bit like asking why we don’t have more reporting on the fact that the Moon is preparing a superweapon with which to annex Antarctica,” Mr. Bump wrote, in an article titled: “Sen. Sasse here are some answers to your questions about ‘paid rioting.’”

When confronted on Twitter about his lack of intellectual curiosity from a reader, Mr. Bump responded: “Allow me to reply in a way you’ll grasp: derp, derp, derp.”

So yes, we need an antidote to this sort of media — and that often comes in the likes of the Federalist — who did an epic take-down of Mr. Bump last week — or The Washington Times, Washington Free-Beacon, The Daily Caller, and, yes, Breitbart.

None of it is fake — it’s merely doing the job the mainstream media refuses to do.

Shocking Proof That The Mainstream Media Gives You More ‘Fake News’ Than Any Satire Site Ever Will
by Geoffrey Grider

In short, the current news that there should be a campaign against ‘fake news’ is of itself a fake news story.

The progressive Left, spearheaded by the liberal media and Barack Obama, want you to be outraged over the current level of ‘fake news’ that is disseminating across the globe. What they mean when they say this is that they want satire sites, like The Onion, to be shut down. They attempt to make the laughable claim that satire sites “changed the course of the presidential election.” But in point of fact, people are no more fooled by these sites than they are by ‘fake news’ broadcasting like SNL’s Weekend Update and The Daily Show. Sites like these fill the gap that magazines like MAD and National Lampoon did years ago. And while a random sampling of low information Americans may be fooled by these satire sites, the vast majority of intelligent, everyday people are not.

https://youtu.be/xcb8XcV9XIo

In short, the current news that there should be a campaign against ‘fake news’ is of itself a fake news story. But this is how they distract you, much like the streetcorner magician who has you looking off in one direction while he gins up his trick in the other.

So let’s take a look at a few times where the media and our government has deceived us with ‘fake news’ masquerading as an actual story.

CNN Classic ‘Fake News’ Broadcast Pretending To Be On The Front Lines But Was Actually In TV Studio:

https://youtu.be/1gsEf_CxgHc

Our lead-off fake news story is a classic. Filmed during the first Gulf War, it shows CNN “journalists” Charles Jaco and his crew pretending to be giving a “breaking news” update on the fighting. The only problem is that the outtakes clearly show they are not on the front lines but in a poorly decorated television studio. CNN presented this as real-life, happening now news. Completely fake.

The assassination of JFK and the ‘fake news’ of the Warren Report commission:

https://youtu.be/zsPMxAlO6x0

In 2016, there is so much information online regarding the Kennedy killing that no one seriously believes that Lee Harvey Oswald shot him or ever fired a shot at all. But J. Edgar Hoover insisted that Oswald take the fall, and the ‘fake news’ Warren Commission was hatched to advance that narrative

36 Times Obama Said You Could Keep Your Health Care Plan ‘Fake News’ Scam:

https://youtu.be/qpa-5JdCnmo

One of the greatest ‘fake news’ scams of the modern era is hoaxer-in-chief Obama saying that “if you like your plan, you can keep your plan“. Not only did this turn out not to be true – but – Obama was fully aware he was lying each and every time he said it. Not only that, every single media outlet in America repeated the lie, knowing it was a lie.

George Bush selling the ‘fake news’ lie that Saddam Hussein had ‘weapons of mass destruction’:

https://youtu.be/x7xyd_IRgGs

Hoo-boy, this was quite the ‘fake news’ whopper. Exactly what you would expect from the Bush Crime Family. Who helped Bush to sell this ‘fake news’ to the American public? Our old frenemies at the main stream media. How many US soldiers died as a result of this ‘fake news’ story? Right around 5,000 men and women were sacrificed for this.

How our government and media use crisis actors to drive a narrative at staged horrific events:

Of all the ‘fake news’ stories out there, this is one of the toughest to talk about. No, we are not saying that people didn’t actually die at places like Sandy Hook and other places, because they did. But that does not mean that the event that killed them was not a staged event involving paid crisis actors. So for this one we are going  you a couple of videos to consider.

https://youtu.be/2hGZM7heYKw

https://youtu.be/BqwqcC0Crag

https://youtu.be/lV20DtXBuQs

https://youtu.be/WP0UkqkKuF4

FBI’s own statistics reveal that no one died in the Sandy Hook shooting:

Before you go and accuse us of being “insensitive” to tragedy, take a look and see the official number of deaths in Newtown, CT, in 2012. Why are the “27 victims” of the Sandy Hook shooting not on the FBI list? Hmm…looks like the FBI agrees with us.

(https://nteb-mudflowermedia.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/fbi-says-no-one-died-sandy-hook-newtown-ct.jpg)

By now, you can clearly see who the real perpetrators of ‘fake news’ actually are. Its brought to you by our own government, and by the crooked and corrupt pretend news media who spend 24 hours per day broadcasting stories that are various degrees of falsehood.

And what they are so upset about this year is that because of WikiLeaks, they were unable to use their ‘fake news’ to elect Hillary Clinton as president. The American people rejected their nonsense and journalistic lies, and they were left swinging in the breeze.

As Kramer said so many years ago “the only true news is the alternative media“.

CNN Crew Jokes about Donald Trump's Plane Crashing

CNN Correspondent Suzanne Malveauxjoke was covering the Carrier press conference, that featured both Donald Trump and Mike Pence.

Carrier was able to negotiate huge tax breaks for their company, if they promised not to move all their jobs to Mexico.

FTVLive has obtained video of Malveauxjoke before her live hit on CNN. The crew was waiting on Trump's appearance at the press conference and waiting for his plane to land.

At one point the crew joked about Trump's plane crashing.

Yep....this is CNN.

CNN Apologizes to Trump After Crew Caught Joking About His Plane Crashing

 The network says the producer has been "disciplined."

CNN has apologized to Donald Trump after a producer was caught on camera joking with reporter Suzanne Malveaux about the president-elect's plane crashing.

The remark was made before a live shot on Thursday.

The unidentified producer, in footage obtained and posted on YouTube by Scott Jones of FTV Live, can be heard saying "That means his plane’s crashed. No, I'm kidding."

CNN released a statement Friday saying the producer had been "disciplined."

“An unfortunate and inappropriate remark was made by one of our producers off camera yesterday," CNN said in its statement. "We have apologized to the Trump transition team, and the producer has been disciplined.”

Trump has been a huge critic of the network essentially since he announced his bid for president, saying it has covered him unfairly. Even this week, he was criticizing the network through Twitter.

Gunman charged after threatening DC restaurant hit by fake news
[Reuters]
December 4, 2016

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A man who took a rifle into a Washington pizza restaurant on Sunday "to self-investigate" a fake news report that it was operating a child abuse ring has been charged with assault with a dangerous weapon, police in the U.S. capital said.

Washington's Metropolitan Police Department said in a statement that Edgar Maddison Welch, 28, of Salisbury, North Carolina, was charged after the incident at Comet Ping Pong restaurant in Washington near the Maryland border on Sunday afternoon.

The suspect entered the restaurant and pointed a gun at a restaurant employee, who fled and notified authorities, police said. The man then discharged the weapon inside the restaurant. There were no injuries.

Two weapons were found inside the restaurant and a third one was recovered from the man's vehicle, police added.

They said the suspect during an interview with investigators "revealed that he came to the establishment to self-investigate 'Pizza Gate' (a fictitious online conspiracy theory)," the police statement said.

Last month, media outlets including the Washington Post and New York Times, reported about death threats against the owner of the restaurant after internet postings said the restaurant was operating a child abuse ring led by Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and her top campaign aide.

Police said there was no active investigation of child abuse allegations there. The attack on Comet was considered an example of how fake news reports that proliferated during the election year affected people's lives.

A Reuters witness at the restaurant with his 1-year-old child said it was crowded when the gunman entered, with many families dining.

The Reuters witness who was inside Comet at around 3 p.m. ET (2000 GMT) said he was paying his bill when he saw a man entering the restaurant's front door. "It appeared to us he had a long rifle with him. We scattered," he said.

U.S. VP To Media 'We Don't Need You Guys Anymore'

There is a direct correlation  between populism growing across the globe, replacing the global "elite" one by one, and the fall of the mainstream media. The media has not become irrelevant because the globalists are falling, but rather the global elite are falling because the media has become irrelevant.

That is a very important distinction and a lesson learned in 2016 that must not ever be forgotten.

Populism is described as "a political doctrine that stems from a viewpoint of struggle between the populace and a ruling faction." Nationalism on the other hand is defined as "patriotic feeling, principles, or efforts."

Globalism is the exact opposite of both. Globalists believe what is best for the "international community," should override what is best for individual countries, basically sacrificing the welfare of a nation's populace to benefit the "international community" as a whole.

ONE GLOBALIST LEADER LEFT STANDING

With the passing of the Brexit referendum in the UK which caused David Cameron, the Prime Minister, to resign, the election of Donald Trump in the U.S. as a repudiation of globalist leader Barack Obama, the Italian referendum which caused  the Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi to resign,  and the recent announcement by French President Francois Hollande that he will not be seeking re-election,  there is one "global elite" leader left standing... Angela Merkel, who has suffered some major losses herself in Germany.

The image above, minus the X marks on their heads, has been going viral on social media, with messages like "Three pro-EU globalists down, one more pro-EU globalist to go," and "four down, Merkel to go", according to the Independent UK, in an article headlined "Last world leader standing: The photo that shows just how much the world has changed in 2016."

Each of these leaders have been seen as betrayers by the populists in their respective countries, putting the good of others above the good of those they were elected to represent, and each have been repudiated in elections and referendums in 2016 by the very people they have betrayed with their globalist policies.

Jobs, manufacturing, the economy, all sacrificed by the five globalists above in pursuit of their "New World Order," and all but one will be gone in 2017, with Angela Merkel seeking a fourth term, despite a "historic loss" in the Berlin state election in September, which many believe was a backlash against her open immigration policies.

GLOBALIST CHEERLEADERS (MSM) BECOME IRRELEVANT

The globalist supporting media in each of the "unexpected" losses had campaigned hard to prevent populism from overcoming globalism or to rephrase, to prevent the people from overcoming the elite and their agenda.

Before the Brexit vote, the media hyperventilated and claimed the whole world and markets would be "thrown in turmoil," in an attempt to influence the referendum results. Headlines from before the referendum included "Brexit 'would have huge economic impact and spark turmoil in global markets' from the Daily Mail and "Brexit would create turmoil and damage Irish trade," from the Irish Times. One of the most amusing headlines came from the UK Mirror at the time, who declared "Brexit could end Britain's hopes of hosting another World Cup or Olympics."

The same hyperbolic headlines proceeded Italy's recent referendum, with promising chaos if the "No" vote one and Renzi resigns.

The same type of howling preceded the U.S. elections with dire warnings of what would happen if Donald Trump beat globalist Hillary Clinton, where CNN headlined on November 6 with "US election 2016: this is the global market turmoil that would be triggered by a Donald Trump victory," to which not only didn't happen, but just the opposite occurred, as one day after the election, markets rallied and stocks soared, with increases still being seen as CNBC reports  today that "Stocks have been on a rip-roaring rally since the U.S. election."

One pattern here is that in every case, the mainstream media had attempted to influence the outcome, always in favor of the globalists, but the more important pattern is that the populace in each instance in their respective countries..... ignored them. Ignored the consistent flow of skewed polls claiming the "populist" candidate or position had no chance, ignored the constant negative stories being slammed out daily, in many case multiple times a day, against the candidate or position the media didn't favor.

While polling over the decades has shown an increase of distrust toward the mainstream media, until 2016, they were still able to influence primaries, elections, referendums and votes....... those days are gone, and that is why the global elite are panicking.

FORMER U.S. VP TO MEDIA 'WE DON'T NEED YOU GUYS ANYMORE'

Former U.S. VP Dick Cheney recently sat down with Former Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta and CNN's Barbara Starr at the Reagan Library, and said something horrifying to the mainstream media and the globalists.

Love him or hate him...... the truth is the truth.

Starr asked Cheney about the language of President-elect Trump's tweets and after answering her Cheney stated "I think one of the reasons people get so concerned about the tweets is it is sort of a way around the press. He doesn't have to rely upon, uh, rely upon -- this is the modern era, modern technology. He's at the point where we don't need you guys anymore."

The laughter from the audience is clearly heard... but nothing from CNN's Starr, because those are the words the global elite and the MSM are all terrified of... because they are the truth.

That comment comes at the 3:20 minute mark in the clip below:

https://youtu.be/hwSpSxC06_A

BOTTOM LINE

The mainstream media and their "fake news," along with their "fake polls," using skewed demographics intended to create an illusion meant to influence the public, has failed, and with it they took the last thing propping up globalism and touting it as the "way forward," in an attempt to create a New World Order.

The term "leader of the free world" has often been used to describe the United States and more commonly the U.S. President of the United States, and having a populist U.S. President is a tremendous blow to globalists across the world, so it is no coincidence that after an election to where the 'populist' candidate won, Clinton has teamed up with Green Party candidate Jill Stein to petition for recounts in the three states that Trump flipped, which if successful would hand the election to the globalist candidate Hillary Clinton.

It is also no coincidence that organized protests, funded by globalist George Soros, have been seen across America after the election or that we are seeing dire warnings of "bloody Friday," with reports warning that ISIS could attack on inauguration day.

The panicked globalists will not give up....

Earnest Forced To Cite First Amendment FOUR TIMES, As Press Corps Insists White House Censor News

White House press secretary Josh Earnest was forced to remind the press corps the federal government can’t censor news because of the First Amendment, in a bizarre exchange during a White House press briefing Monday.

“Obviously, there are some important First Amendment issues that come into play when we’re having this discussion,” Earnest said, rebuffing a call for the White House to work toward censoring “fake news” on social media. He brought up the constitutional prohibition on censorship three more times before the conversation ended.

New York Times White House correspondent Gardiner Harris had asked Earnest whether the administration treats threats based on “fake news” — such as the man who recently entered a Washington, D.C., pizza shop with a gun to investigate something he read online — the same as it treats terror threats. The implication was that the White House should get Facebook to censor “fake news” the same way it has pushed Facebook to censor these terrorists.

“I’ve never heard you talk about what the administration is doing, even not just on a law enforcement basis but a policy basis, reaching out to these Silicon Valley companies,” he said to Earnest. “I mean, the President has recently been discussing the problem of fake news on Facebook. Why hasn’t there been a concern — a growing concern on the part of the administration about what seems to be a growing amount of vitriol directed at a variety of people, sometimes violent vitriol, within the United States?”

Earnest replied by noting that while the president is “concerned” about the impact of rhetoric on the country, he does not have the ability to censor free speech or to push Facebook to treat American citizens as it would foreign terrorists who are not constitutionally protected.

“Obviously, there are some important First Amendment issues that come into play when we’re having this discussion,” he said. “Those First Amendment issues aren’t prioritized in the same way when we’re talking about overseas terrorist organizations that don’t enjoy the same kinds of protections that American citizens do.”

Facebook would have to decide for itself how it wants to treat the use of its platform to spread certain ideas, and balance whether it wants to risk alienating a large portion of its users in order to censor information. “They’ve got their own built-in interest in protecting the First Amendment rights of their users while also creating a community and a platform that people actually want to use,” he said.

Unsatisfied with his response, Gardiner pressed: “Do you think the market just will have to police itself on that then?”

His question forced Earnest to once again remind the reporter that the government cannot censor free speech. “Given the First Amendment questions that are raised, the role for the government to play in all of this is going to be necessarily limited by that.”

Journalists Struggle To Define ‘Fake News’ Even As They Declare War On It Via @dailycaller

In the weeks following Donald Trump’s unexpected victory in last month’s election, liberal journalists have launched an all-out assault on “fake news,” which some have blamed for the disconnect between political journalists and everyday Americans.

But many of those same journalists seem unable to agree on a consistent definition of what “fake news” is, oftentimes pushing leading conservative and alternative media organizations that provide ideological balance in the public forum under the same “fake news” umbrella alongside websites whose entire purpose is generating viral hoaxes.

Left-leaning BuzzFeed News’ coverage of “fake news” — which has been subject to accusations of misleading the public in service of a narrative —  has focused on hoax websites run by teenagers in Macedonia pushing out lies like “Pope Francis endorses Donald Trump.”

Other left-leaning news organizations, meanwhile, have lumped in legitimate news organizations alongside objectively fake sources.

A list of “fake news” sites compiled by a liberal college professor — a list that was uncritically accepted and distributed by some liberal journalists — included top right-of-center sites like Independent Journal Review (IJR) and The Blaze alongside objectively fake sites. Left-leaning media organizations like the Los Angeles Times and New York magazine distributed the list to their readers.

One website that the Washington Post labeled “fake news” — without providing a single piece of evidence — is threatening to sue the Post for defamation, after being included on a similar list.

In an article last summer, liberal New York Magazine writer Brian Feldman tried to argue that “conservative news” and “fake news” are the same thing.

That some liberal journalists are lumping in legitimate news organizations alongside objectively false sites while at the same time calling for censorship of fake news has lead to concerns that the crackdown on fake news sites — the actual influence of which remains unknown — will be used by liberals to censor their conservative competitors.

Forbes contributor Frank Miniter argued that some liberals are using the “fake news” controversy to invite “government control over First Amendment-protected speech or by asking Facebook and Twitter to become even bigger censors of certain views.”

In an interview with conservative site LifeZette, Media Research Center director of media analysis Tim Graham warned, “The danger here is that when liberals try to define ‘fake news,’ it can be defined as ‘fake angles,’ as in ‘things that should not be explored,’ like paying for protesters.”

The sub-headline for that article read, “Liberals take aim at right-leaning media outlets under the guise of taking down ‘fake’ news.”

After conservative website The Daily Wire was listed as “fake news” without justification, contributor John Nolte warned that the “fake news” label is being used by frustrated liberal journalists to censor conservative viewpoints.

“The mainstream media put itself on the 2016 presidential ballot, lost,” Nolte wrote, “and now they want to silence competing ideas by smearing, marginalizing and, yes, blacklisting us as spreaders of Fake News.”

Lyin’ Brian Williams slams ‘fake news’

Brian Williams, the disgraced former golden boy anchor of NBC’s “Nightly News” knows a thing or two about “fake news,” which may explain why the MSNBC host decided to tackle the hot-button topic and provide his own unique perspective on the dangers of failing to report the truth.

“As we talked about here last night, fake news played a role in this election and continues to find a wide audience,” said Williams during the Wednesday broadcast of MSNBC’s “The 11th Hour.”

Not surprisingly, Williams’ comment on “fake news” and the election of Donald Trump didn’t go unnoticed by those familiar with the newsman’s past penchant for storytelling and his well-known compulsion to exaggerate his journalistic bona fides.

“Yes, Williams actually said that, and while managing to keep a straight face. Just giving the guy credit where it’s due,” snarked Jack Coleman of Newsbusters. “His decrying of ‘fake news’ suggests that MSNBC is no place for this sort of thing. But if that were true, shouldn’t MSNBC refrain from having Brian Williams – of all people in the network’s employ – report on fake news to begin with? At the very least, shouldn’t some sort of disclaimer run across the bottom of the screen, something to the effect – ‘Warning: MSNBC anchor condemning fake news has repeatedly engaged in the practice.'”

“If there’s an Emmy for chutzpah, Williams just won it,” added Coleman.

Game-show host and Trump supporter Chuck Woolery took to Twitter on Thursday to weigh in on the “fake news” controversy.

(http://www.wnd.com/files/2016/12/woolery-1.png)

As WND reported, Williams also had tongues wagging in July over his breaking-news announcement about the Nice, France, terror attack. He used the phrase “plowing over” while wrapping up a discussion on the carnage inflicted by a terrorist who used a truck to kill holiday revelers.

In 2015, Williams was suspended for six months without pay and eventually booted from his position as managing editor and anchor of NBC’s “Nightly News” amid the controversy generated by his comments about his reporting during the Iraq war and Hurricane Katrina.

NBC News released a statement when Williams was initially suspended that read:

    While on Nightly News on Friday, January 30, 2015, Brian misrepresented events which occurred while he was covering the Iraq War in 2003. It then became clear that on other occasions Brian had done the same while telling that story in other venues. This was wrong and completely inappropriate for someone in Brian’s position. In addition, we have concerns about comments that occurred outside NBC News while Brian was talking about his experiences in the field. As Managing Editor and Anchor of Nightly News, Brian has a responsibility to be truthful and to uphold the high standards of the news division at all times.

Williams later apologized for claiming to have been aboard a helicopter in Iraq when it was hit by enemy fire.

“I made a mistake in recalling the events of 12 years ago,” Williams told NBC News viewers.

He ultimately lost his top-rated NBC anchor chair and was assigned a lesser role within the news division with a late-night slot on MSNBC.

Following his suspension, Williams was mercilessly made fun of by some of the biggest names in comedy during the 40th anniversary special of “Saturday Night Live.”

Jerry Seinfeld said he was surprised by a little-known piece of information about “SNL.”

“You know there are so many things about ‘Saturday Night Live’ that people don’t know. For example, one of the original cast members in 1975 was Brian Williams,” Seinfeld clowned to rousing laughter. “I don’t know if that’s true, but I never heard that. It doesn’t sound true. It might not be.”

Watch Jerry Seinfeld mock Brian Williams:

Earlier this year, Williams was targeted for ire when he compared President Obama to Richard Pryor. He was also criticized in recent months for what some viewers said was his overly harsh coverage of Trump and for his reports on the shooting of police in Dallas.

While covering the news of the shooting, Williams started referencing the death of President John F. Kennedy, which occurred just blocks from the site of the sniper-cops’ killing.

‘Today’ Show Deceives With Image of Freddie Gray Protests to Urge Calm After S. Carolina Mistrial
Next, they’ll be telling us what “fake news” to watch out for.


https://youtu.be/TCYrHezWwU8

After a hung jury had led to the mistrial of former South Carolina law enforcement Officer Michael Slager, charged with shooting unarmed black man Walter Scott in the back, Matt Lauer took his post at the Today Show on NBC to urge calm in the community. In the process, a year-old photo of the Freddie Gray protests was deceitfully edited and aired to make it appear as if it was currently happening in Charleston.

But it didn’t take long for South Carolina Senator Larry Grooms to see that NBC was pulling a fast one and so, he called them out:

“I am proud of my home, and it angers me when media folks like our friends at the Today Show project false and misleading images of my home. After the mistrial, there was no racial unrest, and there were no protests in the streets. However, the Today Show producers decided that there should be. When they aired their story about the mistrial, they showed images of an April 2015 protest that took place in Baltimore, MD.”

Wisconsin Sheriff David Clarke wondered if Lauer “believes all black people look the same.”

“Walter Scott, Freddie Gray. I guess The Today Show just can’t keep it all straight,” Clarke wrote on his blog.

But as Sen. Grooms also noted, words from the protest signs in the original Associated Press photo were apparently photoshopped out so that it couldn't be traced to Baltimore or Gray.

“Behold Charleston as the producers want it to look, not as it actually is,” he said.

The best part: the video was removed from NBC’s website, but a thoughtful YouTuber mirrored it on his page (above).

Next week, Matt Lauer and the entire Today Show gang will let us know what “fake news” to avoid as we navigate a Trump administration. We're sure, however, they won't include their program.

Fake News Exposed — Reporter Tweets Totally False Claim Trump Supporters Were Booing The Late John Glenn

Newsweek reporter Kurt Eichenwald is the definition of fake news.

Eichenwald tweeted Thursday night that attendees at Donald Trump’s victory rally actually booed when the President-elect announced the passing of the late, great John Glenn.

He would later go on to delete the tweet, but not before being screenshotted by Mediaite’s Alex Griswold and receiving thousands of retweets.

(http://static01.mediaite.com/med/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/CzPRym6XEAE8H0q-650x550.jpg)

Trump supporters booed John Glenn when Trump mentioned his name at today’s rally,” he wrote. “A real American hero who risked his life [for] us. They booed.”

Eichenwald doubled down on the claim, which was soon to be proven totally false.

    @misdaws He just moved on, said “maybe they’ll come around.” I think context was that Glenn was a democrat.

    — Kurt Eichenwald (@kurteichenwald) December 9, 2016

Just as Eichenwald was poo-pooing Iowans who voted for Trump, LA Times reporter Mike Memoli tweeted what really happened.

    Post-election Trump: as protesters heckle and crowd boos them, he says: “I think they’re actually on our side. They just don’t know it yet.” pic.twitter.com/qFSH3qUVUE

    — Mike Memoli (@mikememoli) December 9, 2016

Memoli explained that the booing Eichenwald referenced was actually directed at hecklers holding a sign reading, “Iowa says no.”

He also included Trump’s joke about the interruption: “I think they’re actually on our side. They just don’t know it yet.”

After being exposed, Eichenwald apologized for his mistake with a third tweet.

    I believe I was in error that Trump supporters booed Glenn. This seems to be 2 events at same time: Ppl booing Trump as he mentions Glenn.

HILLARY CLINTON WHO LIED TO AMERICA ABOUT MUSLIM VIDEO NOW WARNS AGAINST FAKE NEWS ‘EPIDEMIC’
Clinton said the spread of fake news, which has "flooded social media over the past year," is a trend that "can have real world consequences." She made the comments at a portrait unveiling and retirement ceremony for outgoing Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid.


HILLARY CLINTON, SPEAKING IN PUBLIC THURSDAY FOR ONE OF THE FIRST TIMES SINCE LOSING THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION A MONTH AGO, CALLED THE PROLIFERATION OF FAKE NEWS “AN EPIDEMIC.”

So-called fake news — often blatant falsehoods passed off online as the truth and spread by conspiracy theorists — rose to prominence around the 2016 campaign. Clinton said the spread of fake news, which has “flooded social media over the past year,” is a trend that “can have real world consequences.” She made the comments at a portrait unveiling and retirement ceremony for outgoing Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid.

HILLARY CLINTON, THE BENGHAZI LIAR, NOW TACKLES FAKE NEWS:

https://youtu.be/sRWfq3K0-WM

So, Hillary Clinton thinks that fake news – intentionally false stories pretending to be true – should be dealt with by Congress? That we should pass a law to punish the fake news people? What a great idea! She and Obama can both be brought to trial to answer for their intentional fake news story about the Muslim YouTube video causing the Benghazi attacks that killed 4 Americans on 9/11/2012.

OBAMA AND HILLARY BLAME MUSLIM VIDEO FOR BENGHAZI TERRORIST ATTACK AS COFFINS ARRIVE:
This is what it looks like when American lives are intentionally sacrificed and the president and Secretary of State look into the camera and lie about how it happened. This is the real fake news, dispensed 24 hours a day by the liberal media and obscene, filthy liars like Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

https://youtu.be/QSooz2wXpes

https://youtu.be/7syNUYAXHwo

From helping to get a child rapist set free to the Rose Law Firm and TravelGate, Hillary Clinton has spent her entire adult career creating and spreading fake news. The liberal news sites like CNN and MSNBC that promote and protect her have published fake news for decades.

A Clinton Fan Manufactured Fake News That MSNBC Personalities Spread to Discredit WikiLeaks Docs

THE PHRASE “FAKE NEWS” has exploded in usage since the election, but the term is similar to other malleable political labels such as “terrorism” and “hate speech”; because the phrase lacks any clear definition, it is essentially useless except as an instrument of propaganda and censorship. The most important fact to realize about this new term: Those who most loudly denounce Fake News are typically those most aggressively disseminating it.

One of the most egregious examples was the recent Washington Post article hyping a new anonymous group and its disgusting blacklist of supposedly pro-Russia news outlets — a shameful article mindlessly spread by countless journalists who love to decry Fake News, despite the Post article itself being centrally based on Fake News. (The Post this week finally added a lame editor’s note acknowledging these critiques; the Post editors absurdly claimed that they did not mean to “vouch for the validity” of the blacklist even though the article’s key claims were based on doing exactly that).

Now we have an even more compelling example. Back in October, when WikiLeaks was releasing emails from the John Podesta archive, Clinton campaign officials and their media spokespeople adopted a strategy of outright lying to the public, claiming — with no basis whatsoever — that the emails were doctored or fabricated and thus should be ignored. That lie — and that is what it was: a claim made with knowledge of its falsity or reckless disregard for its truth — was most aggressively amplified by MSNBC personalities such as Joy Ann Reid and Malcolm Nance, The Atlantic’s David Frum, and Newsweek’s Kurt Eichenwald.

That the emails in the Wikileaks archive were doctored or faked — and thus should be disregarded — was classic Fake News, spread not by Macedonian teenagers or Kremlin operatives but by established news outlets such as MSNBC, The Atlantic, and Newsweek. And, by design, this Fake News spread like wildfire all over the internet, hungrily clicked and shared by tens of thousands of people eager to believe it was true. As a result of this deliberate disinformation campaign, anyone reporting on the contents of the emails was instantly met with claims that the documents in the archive had been proven fake.

The most damaging such claim came from MSNBC’s intelligence analyst Malcolm Nance. As I documented on October 11, he tweeted what he — for some bizarre reason — labeled an “Official Warning.” It decreed: “#PodestaEmails are already proving to be riddled with obvious forgeries & #blackpropaganda not even professionally done.” That tweet was re-tweeted by more than 4,000 people. It was vested with added credibility by Clinton-supporting journalists like Reid and Frum (“expert to take seriously”).

All of that, in turn, led to an article in something called the “Daily News Bin” with the headline: “MSNBC intelligence expert: WikiLeaks is releasing falsified emails not really from Hillary Clinton.” This classic fake news product — citing Nance and Reid among others — was shared more than 40,000 times on Facebook alone.

Yahoo Spreads Fake News Story About Hillary Getting Most Votes 'Ever'
4 million votes off


The left has been pushing a false narrative that conservatives are responsible for "fake news" stories, and that those stories led to Hillary's loss in the election. Turns out, Yahoo News pushed one of those stories, only in Hillary's favor.

According to Yahoo News, Hillary won the most votes "ever received," even though she's 4 million votes off the mark. Not 10,000 or 100,000, but 4 million votes. How did they miss that one?

"Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has garnered at least 65,527,625 votes in the 2016 presidential election, the most any presidential candidate has ever received and over 2.6 million more than the president-elect, who has received at least 62,851,436 votes," they reported.

Not even close. That record (unfortunately) goes to Barack Obama in 2008 when he garnered 69,499,428 votes. Hillary didn't even cross his 2012 number of 65,915,795 votes. This isn't just fake news, but propaganda from the Kremlin.

Yahoo News has since removed the piece, issuing no apology or explanation. It has vanished without a trace. Here's a screenshot to prove it's veracity:

The real people trying to hack the election

Brian Kemp seeks Donald Trump's aid in alleged hacking

Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp on Wednesday asked President-elect Donald Trump to investigate the Department of Homeland Security's apparent attempt to hack his office's computer system.

In a letter to Trump, Kemp asked that the president-elect to act once he is sworn in to office in January.

emp said he is not satisfied with the response from current DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson.

"Since contacting DHS with these concerns, we have collaborated with the agency and provided extensive, additional information," Kemp wrote. "Last night I received a letter from Secretary Johnson which lacked any specific information as to the attacks' intent or origin despite the fact that many questions remain unanswered."

Kemp's office detected what he called a "large attack on our system" in November. His staff was able to trace the alleged attacker back to the Department of Homeland Security.

DHS has denied it tried to break through the state's computer firewall. An agency spokesman did not immediately return requests for comment Wednesday.

DHS has said previously that it believes an employee was legitimately using databases on the Secretary of State's website and that the employee's computer was configured incorrectly. That configuration mistakenly made it look like the employee was trying to hack into Kemp's systems.

In a letter to Kemp on Tuesday, Johnson blamed a Microsoft product for the error, but Kemp is not convinced.

"The scenario DHS has proposed has still not been verified by Microsoft," Kemp wrote Johnson late Tuesday. "There are still many questions regarding the origin and intent of this attack that remain unanswered."

A WORLD FILLED WITH FAKE NEWS (Friday Church News Notes, December 16, 2016, www.wayoflife.org, fbns@wayoflife.org, 866-295-4143) - The American media is abuzz with talk about “fake news.” According to “the left,” fake news emanates from “the right,” and according to “the right,” it emanates from “the left.” Fake news is the publication of lies and distortions, and according to the Bible, the world’s media is filled to the brim with “fake news” on all sides of the political spectrum, because we live in a fallen, spiritually-dark world. Fake news includes positive references to and support for Darwinian evolution, the big bang, the right to abortion, the right to die, homosexual rights, animal rights, man’s innate goodness, atheism, humanism, universalism, pantheism, panentheism, the force, self-esteemism, astrology, the Age of Aquarius, theological liberalism, JEDP, alcoholism as a disease, the power of positive thinking. Everything contrary to God’s Word is fake news. Thankfully, the good Lord has given unworthy sinners a Book of pure truth containing Good News. “To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them” (Isaiah 8:20).

Islamists Slaughter 9 at Berlin Christmas Market – Liberal Media Calls It a ‘Truck Crash’

Two Islamists drove a truck through a Christmas market in Berlin on Monday night.

Nine people were killed and 50 were reportedly injured.

According to online reports ISIS took credit for the mass murder.

CNN called it a “Truck Crash.”

Montage: The Media’s 10 Most Mortifying Moments of 2016
‘What would the gator be thinking?’

In a year known mostly for mayhem, misfortune, and madness, America’s media quickly proved themselves fit for narrating this first draft of history. All too often, when the news got tough, the TV news got weird.

Embarrassingly weird.

While picking 10 of the most egregious examples was no easy task, we’ve whittled thousands of clips down to four minutes’ worth that we think represent 2016 in a (really disfigured) nutshell.

Without further ado, here are the media’s 10 most mortifying moments of 2016.

10. After Donald Trump’s underdog victory, many in the media looked for scapegoats. But Comedy Central’s Samantha Bee went the furthest — blaming white people for “ruining” America.

9. Hillary notoriously avoided direct questions from the press all year. So when Lester Holt became one of the few to somehow score a sit down with Mrs. Clinton, his softballs-only interview was journalistically humiliating.

8. Cuba’s long time dictator expired this year, and many in America’s media … mourned.

7. Perhaps not historically significant, but a particularly comical case of media malpractice came when an enchanted Andrea Mitchell breathlessly recapped the “magical” evening she was having at a Hillary rally.

6. Over on PBS, David Brooks and David Corn somehow connected the dots between Ted Cruz and Satan.

5. After the devastating mass slaughter in Orlando, the media embraced its unfortunate habit of speculating where things went wrong — looking everywhere, it seemed, besides Islamic terrorism.

4. After another tragedy — this time an alligator snatching a toddler from a Disney World beachfront — CNN’s Brooke Baldwin thankfully had the presence of mind to ask a local animal expert … what the alligator was thinking.

3. On MSNBC, the now-canceled Melissa Harris Perry worried that Flint, Mich., might become Obama’s … Fugitive Slave Act?

2. After Orlando, many progressive congressmen staged a sit-in on the floor of the House of Representatives. The media, you might be unsurprised to discover, went absolutely bananas with delight.

1. If there was one thing the media was absolutely sure of in 2016, it was … Hillary Clinton’s inevitable landslide victory. Whoops.

Did we miss one of your favorites? Let us know in the comments below.

The dictionary folk at Merriam-Webster sum up 2016: surreal

12/19/16

NEW YORK (AP) — Was 2016 a dream or a nightmare?

Try something in between: "surreal," which is Merriam-Webster's word of the year, unveiled Monday.

Meaning "marked by the intense irrational reality of a dream," or "unbelievable, fantastic," the word joins Oxford's "post-truth" and Dictionary.com's "xenophobia" as the year's top choices.

"It just seems like one of those years," said Peter Sokolowski, Merriam-Webster's editor at large.

The company tracks year-over-year growth and spikes in lookups of words on its website to come up with the top choice. This time around, there were many periods of interest in "surreal" throughout the year, often in the aftermath of tragedy, Sokolowski said.

Major spikes came after the Brussels attack in March and again in July, after the Bastille Day massacre in Nice and the attempted coup in Turkey. All three received huge attention around the globe and had many in the media reaching for "surreal" to describe both the physical scenes and the "mental landscapes," Sokolowski said.

The single biggest spike in lookups came in November, he said, specifically Nov. 9, the day Donald Trump went from candidate to president-elect.

There were also smaller spikes, including after the death of Prince in April at age 57 and after the June shootings at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida.


Irony mixed with the surreal for yet another bump after the March death of Garry Shandling. His first sitcom, "It's Garry Shandling's Show," premiered on Showtime in 1986 and had him busting through the fourth wall, speaking directly to the audience and mimicking his real life as a standup comedian, but one who knew he was starring in a TV show.

"It was surreal and it's connected to the actual original meaning of surreal, which is to say it comes from Surrealism, the artistic movement of the early 20th century," Sokolowski said.

Which is to say that "surreal" didn't exist as a word until around 1924, after a group of European poets, painters and filmmakers founded a movement they called Surrealism. They sought to access the truths of the unconscious mind by breaking down rational thought.

It wasn't until 1937 that "surreal" began to exist on its own, said Sokolowski, who is a lexicographer.

Merriam-Webster first started tracking lookup trends in 1996, when the dictionary landed online. In 2001, after the 9/11 terror attacks, the Springfield, Massachusetts-based company noticed plenty of spikes in word lookups. The most enduring spike was for "surreal," pointing to a broader meaning and greater usage, Sokolowski said.

"We noticed the same thing after the Newtown shootings, after the Boston Marathon bombings, after Robin Williams' suicide," he said. "Surreal has become this sort of word that people seek in moments of great shock and tragedy."

Word folk like Sokolowski can't pinpoint exactly why people look words up online, but they know it's not only to check spellings or definitions. Right after 9/11, words that included "rubble" and "triage" spiked, he said. A couple days after that, more political words took over in relation to the tragedy, including "jingoism" and "terrorism."

"But then we finally hit 'surreal,' so we had a concrete response, a political response and finally a philosophical response," Sokolowski said. "That's what connects all these tragic events."

Other words that made Merriam-Webster's Top 10 for 2016 due to significant spikes in lookups:

BIGLY: Yes, it's a word but a rare and sometimes archaic form of "big," dating to around 1400, Sokolowski said. It made its way into the collective mind thanks to Trump, who was fond of using "big league" as an adverb but making it sound like bigly.

DEPLORABLE: Thank you, Hillary Clinton and your basket full of, though it's not technically a noun.

IRREGARDLESS: It's considered a "nonstandard" word for regardless. It's best avoided, Sokolowski said. Irregardless was used during the calling of the last game of the World Series and its use was pilloried on social media, he said.

ICON: This spike came after Prince's April 21 death, along with surreal. "It was just a moment of public mourning, the likes of which really happen very seldom," Sokolowski said.

ASSUMPSIT: At the Democratic National Convention, Elizabeth Warren was introduced by one her former law students at Harvard, Rep. Joseph P. Kennedy III of Massachusetts. He described how on his first day she asked him for the definition of assumpsit and he didn't know.

"She said, 'Mr. Kennedy do you own a dictionary?' so everybody looked it up," Sokolowski laughed.

For the record: It's a legal term with Latin roots for a type of implied promise or contract. Kennedy didn't define it when he told the story.

FAUTE DE MIEUX: Literally, this French phrase means "lack of something better or more desirable." Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg used it in a brief concurring opinion in June to support a ruling that struck down a Texas law that would have closed all but nine abortion clinics in the state.

IN OMNIA PARATUS: A Latin phrase for "ready for all things." Curiosity surfaced when Netflix revived "Gilmore Girls" recently, including reference to this famous chant during an episode in the original series where Rory is talked into leaping off a high platform as part of the initiation for a secret society at Yale. It became a rallying cry for fans of the show.

REVENANT: Leonardo DiCaprio played one in a movie of the same name, sending people scurrying to the dictionary. It describes "one that returns after death or a long absence." It can be traced to the 1820s and while it sounds biblical, it is not, Sokolowski said.

FECKLESS: It's how Vice President-elect Mike Pence described President Obama's foreign policy when he debated Democrat Tim Kaine. It means weak or worthless.

6 Reasons Why ABC News Is Unqualified to Label ‘Fake News’

Facebook announced last week that the social media company would be teaming up with sources such as ABC News, Politifact, and Snopes to identify and eradicate “fake news” across Facebook. But each of the sources vetting the so called “fake news” have a track record of partisan politics, regularly pushing a left-leaning bias to their viewers.
ABC News has a long history of false reporting, lying, and even entirely fabricating stories. Here are six of ABC’s most blatant acts of “fake news” that demonstrate why appointing this news network as the arbiter of truth is far from a good idea.

1: In one of the most blatant acts of dishonesty and manipulation, ABC News set up a fake police crime scene in order to fool their viewers into believing that ABC reporters were actually at a the site of a kidnapping in Woodruff, South Carolina. The news segment appeared on Good Morning America  and featured ABC reporter Lindsey Davis standing in front of what appeared to viewers to be a police crime scene cordon with a bright yellow strip of tape that read “SHERIFF’S LINE DO NOT CROSS.”

In reality, ABC producers had strung the tape between two tripods behind the reporter in order to give the illusion that she was present at the crime scene. CNNMoney initially reported on the story. saying, “Sources with knowledge of the matter say the tape was placed there by ABC News.”

2: Another segment featured ABC reporter John Quinones going undercover, pretending to be arrested by a police officer in an attempt to prove a point about a newly passed Arizona law that would allow police to investigate people that they suspected to reside in the US illegally. However, no such law in Arizona gives police officers the right to arrest or search anyone simply because of the colour of their skin. ABC purposefully misrepresented the law in an attempt to create controversy. The episode of ABC’s very own reality TV show, What Would You Do, can be watched here.

3: In 2009 ABC ran a climate change news special called Earth 2100. This piece of supposedly undeniable scientific evidence and thorough research claimed that by 2015 we’d be paying $9 per gallon for gasoline, that milk would cost $13 a gallon, and that many other parts of the US would be under water thanks to what ABC called “settled science.” Proof that these predictions are entirely untrue is quite evident. However ABC had no issue with pushing the fear mongering angle on this story, even claiming that we  may be “living in the last century of our civilization.”

4: In 2012 ABC investigative correspondent Brian Ross implied that James Holmes, the gunman behind the mass shooting in Aurora, Colorado, was a member of the political group known as the Tea Party. Ross’s entire basis for this claim was simply that a man named Jim Holmes was listed on a single web page as a member of Colorado Tea Party Patriots. It seems that Ross did not further investigate the identity of the man, or if he did he never publicly announced it, instead he reported the fact to ABC host George Stephanopoulos who referred to it as “significant.”

It of course transpired that Jim Holmes was not the gunman behind the Aurora shootings but simply had a similar name, and Ross’s reporting was seen as a blatant smear attempt on the Tea Party, which he later apologised for.

5: ABC host George Stephanopoulos also has a long history as serving the Democratic party as a political advisor and even served as White House Communications Director under the Bill Clinton administration. He is also a prominent donator to the Clinton Foundation, something which he failed to disclose to ABC News before conducting a hostile interview with Clinton Cash author and Breitbart Editor at Large Peter Schweizer. Stephanopoulos apologized following the revelation and recused himself from moderating the February 2015 Republican primary debate as a result, but ABC took no disciplinary action in response to the violation of journalistic standards.

6: In another example of complete misrepresentation and a subsequent about face, ABC News reported that George Zimmerman had received no injuries on the back of his head the night that Trayvon Martin died, contradicting Zimmerman’s own claims. To prove this, ABC provided a video of Zimmerman being arrested and stated that the video “shows no blood or bruises on George Zimmerman.” Just two days later, MSNBC ran a story contradicting ABC News’ version of events with a higher quality version of the video footage where blood and scratch marks were visible on Zimmerman’s head. Five days after their initial report, ABC ran another story claiming that they had “digitally enhanced” the footage and were now able to see the visible marks on Zimmerman’s head. ABC admitted no fault on their part in the initial reporting on Zimmerman’s injuries.

Facebook will be testing and rolling out their fake news updates in the coming weeks.

Mainstream Media & Washington Busted In Direct 'Fake News' Campaign Against American Public

A series of events occurred in 2013, which when looked through the prism of present day events, shows us how the Obama administration, with the help of its propaganda arm, known as the mainstream media, are waging a brainwashing campaign against the American public.

The first item from 2013 was highlighted this morning on Steve Quayle's site with a note stating "Important Flashback Reminder," leading us to  a July 2013 article at Tech Dirt, which detailed the repeal of the "anti-propaganda" law earlier in October 2013.

    Fortunately, the government now has a chance to aim its official version of today's news at US citizens, thanks to the repeal of a so-called "anti-propaganda" law earlier this month.

    For decades, a so-called anti-propaganda law prevented the U.S. government's mammoth broadcasting arm from delivering programming to American audiences. But on July 2, that came silently to an end with the implementation of a new reform passed in January. The result: an unleashing of thousands of hours per week of government-funded radio and TV programs for domestic U.S. consumption in a reform initially criticized as a green light for U.S. domestic propaganda efforts.


You can read the rest over at Tech Dirt, but the overall point is that as of the repealing of that law, the U.S. government was no longer blocked from deliberately feeding U.S. citizens any "fake news"  they wanted to, they could legally use propaganda against Americans in the same manner they were allowed to use it against foreign countries.

In October 2013, just months after the "Anti-propaganda" law was repealed, it was announced that Amazon Founder Jeff Bezos had purchased the Washington Post for $250 million.

By December 2013, the Washington Post was highly criticized for not disclosing the fact that the new owner, Jeff Bezos, had secured a $600 million contract from the CIA, as disclaimers in their articles.  The Institute for Public Accuracy published a well-written piece which highlights the conflict of interest of a media company owner having such ties with the CIA, yet not offering a disclaimer informing their audience of those ties in any article that references or is about the CIA.

    McChesney said today: "When the main shareholder in one of the very largest corporations in the world benefits from a massive contract with the CIA on the one hand, and that same billionaire owns the Washington Post on the other hand, there are serious problems. The Post is unquestionably the political paper of record in the United States, and how it covers governance sets the agenda for the balance of the news media. Citizens need to know about this conflict of interest in the columns of the Post itself."

    He added: "If some official enemy of the United States had a comparable situation — say the owner of the dominant newspaper in Caracas was getting $600 million in secretive contracts from the Maduro government — the Post itself would lead the howling chorus impaling that newspaper and that government for making a mockery of a free press. It is time for the Post to take a dose of its own medicine."

PRESENT DAY PROPAGANDA - WASHINGTON POST & THE CIA

During the 2016 presidential campaign season the Washington Post led the charge on attempting to influence the public into electing Hillary Clinton, with anti-Donald Trump propaganda written multiple times each day throughout the season, which was unsuccessful as Donald Trump ended up winning the election, thanks in large part to Independent Journalists across the Internet, countering the WaPo propaganda machine.

Then it was the Washington Post once again that highlighted a shadowy organization, referring to them as experts, that highlighted over 200 Independent media sites that reported on the Hillary Clinton campaign and DNC leaked emails that Wikileaks published, calling them sites that spread "Russia Propaganda."

Note- All the leaked emails have been verified as being unaltered, so what they are saying is that the "Russians" are to be blamed for Americans being told the truth, and it is Russias fault the DNC and the Clinton campaign were exposed for their corruption and collusion to help Clinton beat Bernie Sanders in the primary season, among the many revelations those leaks exposed.

Rather than accurately stating Americans were influenced by hearing the truth, they claim that telling the truth is really spreading Russian propaganda.

The Washington Post was so heavily criticized for quoting the shadowy organization that they were forced to add an editors note to their original propaganda story, which states in part :"One of them was PropOrNot, a group that insists on public anonymity, which issued a report identifying more than 200 websites that, in its view, wittingly or unwittingly published or echoed Russian propaganda. A number of those sites have objected to being included on PropOrNot’s list, and some of the sites, as well as others not on the list, have publicly challenged the group’s methodology and conclusions. The Post, which did not name any of the sites, does not itself vouch for the validity of PropOrNot’s findings regarding any individual media outlet...."

Then once again it was the Washington Post, the media outlet where the owner has direct ties with the CIA, that suddenly publishes the first article claiming the CIA had concluded that the Russians were behind the leaked DNC/Clinton emails that Wikileaks published. WaPo quoted "anonymous" sources, offered no proof, nor evidence, just "officials, said" and like good little Washington lapdogs, the rest of the MSM ran with it.



BOTTOM LINE

We are witnessing a direct attack against the American public by the CIA, Washington and their propaganda arm, which is the mainstream media, with Bezos and his paper leading the pack.  Washington set it up by repealing the "anti-propaganda" law which supposedly prevents the U.S. government from attempting to push "fake news" at Americans, then Bezos buys the Washington Post despite his direct ties to the CIA, and now he is pushing CIA propaganda at Americans.

While the mainstream media claims to be an independent and free press, they are no better than China's media, Iran's or Russia's, they have been bought,  paid for, and are owned... the MSM is state run media.

That is the real reason they are attacking Alternative Media so hard right now, because we have become the true Independent Media.

Trump: Are we living in Nazi Germany?

The report, allegedly made by a British ex-intel agent, was given to US officials, CNN reported on Tuesday. A document purporting to be the report was subsequently leaked to Buzzfeed and publicized. Trump blasted the report on Tuesday, calling allegations Russia was holding potentially compromising secrets “fake news”. On Wednesday the Russian government also rejected the claim, saying it had no such material on the American President-elect.

Watch Fox News Defend Rival CNN Against Donald Trump’s ‘Fake News’ Claim (Video)
January 11, 2017

Fox News anchor Shepard Smith defended CNN on Wednesday after Donald Trump accused the network of being “fake news” at a news conference for reporting on the existence of a Russian dossier of unverified allegations about the president-elect.

“President-elect Trump today told CNN’s Jim Acosta that his organization amounts to fake news. CNN’s exclusive reporting on the Russian matter was separate and distinctly different from the document dump executed by an online news property,” Smith said, drawing a distinction between CNN’s reporting and that of BuzzFeed News, which released the entire contents of the Russian dossier.

“Though we at Fox News cannot confirm CNN’s report, it is our observation that its correspondents followed journalistic standards,” Smith said. “Neither they, nor any other journalists, should be subjected to belittling and delegitimizing by the president-elect of the United States.”

Earlier in the day, CNN released a statement responding to Trump’s allegation that CNN is “fake news” during his first press conference as president-elect.

“CNN’s decision to publish carefully sourced reporting about the operations of our government is vastly different than BuzzFeed’s decision to publish unsubstantiated memos,” the network said. “The Trump team knows this. They are using BuzzFeed’s decision to deflect from CNN’s reporting, which has been matched by the other major news organizations.”

CNN: Assassinating Trump Could Keep Obama Administration in Power

 :o :o

On the Wednesday, January 18 broadcast of CNN’s The Situation Room, host Wolf Blitzer aired a segment with a chyron featuring the headline “Developing Now.” During that “developing” segment, Blitzer and correspondent Brian Todd discussed what would happen if the unthinkable occurred on January 20.

Blitzer introduced the segment, saying, “What if an incoming president and his immediate successors were wiped out on day one?” and from there, CNN contributor Brian Todd took over to outline the line of succession if an attack blew up the inaugural dais, killing both Trump and Pence.

The upshot was that in the case of both heads of state being killed, the Secretary of State would take over. Currently that man is Secretary of State John Kerry, But in case some objected because his office would also end as of noon on Inauguration Day, then it would be the Speaker of the House — Republican Paul Ryan — or even Obama’s Under Secretary for Political Affairs Tom Shannon.

The report also noted that the designated survivor appointed by the Obama administration could also become president in the case of a disaster. So, in CNN’s analysis, most of the people who would take over in the worst-case scenario would keep the Obama administration in power, at least indirectly.

So while most of the country is looking to enjoy the day’s events and waiting expectantly to hear what our new president will have to say for his first address as our leader, CNN is wondering what will happen if he is assassinated.

Perhaps CNN is still stuck in anger, the second stage of grief.

Nancy Sinatra Slams CNN, Congratulates Trump: ‘Why Do You Lie, CNN?’

Daughter of Frank Sinatra, Nancy Sinatra, accused CNN of deliberately twisting a comment she made in reference to President Trump, before congratulating the 45th President of the United States on his inauguration.

Responding to an article published by CNN originally entitled, “Nancy Sinatra not happy Trump using father’s song at inauguration,” the 76-year-old singer and actress replied, “That’s not true. I never said that. Why do you lie, CNN?”

CNN’s story was based on a tweet from Sinatra that has since been deleted that said, “Just remember the first line of the song,” in reference to the planned use of Frank Sinatra’s “My Way” for Donald and Melania Trump’s first dance at the Liberty Ball on Inauguration Day.

CNN has since amended the story, changing the headline to “Sinatra on Trump picking ‘My Way’: Remember the first line,” and adding a note that “This story has been updated to reflect Sinatra’s reaction.”

Sinatra appears to have deleted the tweet accusing CNN of lying after they updated their story’s headline and text. She also congratulated the 45th president, tweeting, “Good luck to you.”

FAKE NEWS on Day One: Spicer Scolds Press for TIME Reporter’s False Martin Luther King Bust Story

White House press secretary, Sean Spicer, scolded TIME magazine White House pool reporter Zeke Miller on Friday for falsely reporting that the Martin Luther King Jr. bust had been removed from the Oval Office after President Donald Trump moved in.
Miller had initially tweeted Friday that the MLK Jr. bust, which then-President Obama put in the Oval Office after removing a bust of former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill in 2009, had been removed from the Oval Office.

Realizing his mistake, Miller tweeted a correction and apologized for spreading the false report:

Miller’s fake news story had already been tweeted by at least one reporter, who had to delete his false report. Miller offered several more apologies to reporters who had quoted his initial report:

Miller also sought Spicer’s forgiveness. “This is on me, not my colleagues. I’ve been doing everything I can to fix my error. My apologies,” Miller wrote:

As a bonus, Spicer tweeted a photo of the MLK bust in the Oval Office:

President Trump also had the bust of former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill returned to the Oval Office on his first day as President:

ABC News Caught Deceptively Editing Quote to Criticize Trump Administration
But I though all the "fake news" was coming from conservative sites?


During Monday evening’s Nightline on ABC, a quote by the former press secretary to President George W. Bush, Ari Fleischer, was edited to make him sound extra critical of Sean Spicer, the current White House press secretary.

Indeed, Fleischer wasn’t overly impressed by Spicer’s first appearance before the press pool on Saturday when the mainstream media was put on notice for its negative spin on the Trump administration. However, he was complimentary of Spicer’s second appearance on Monday, but ABC News didn’t want anyone to know that. So, snip, it goes on the cutting room floor.

During the broadcast, Nightline quoted Fleischer as saying, “[Spicer’s] briefing made me uncomfortable. It was too truculent, too tough. It looks as if the ball was dropped on Saturday.”

Lie. That’s not what he said. Fleischer clarified on Twitter what he DID say:

"It looks to me if the ball was dropped on Saturday, Sean recovered it and ran for a 1st down on Monday."

Here is how they chopped my quote: "It looks to me if the ball was dropped on Saturday" after ABC referred to "deliberate falsehoods."

It’s funny how big media likes to blame fake news on the fringe, conservative outlets and yet, participate so openly.

The former press secretary asked ABC News to issue a correction, and they did along with an apology:

Nightline aired a segment Monday night about the first three days of the new administration including Sean Spicer’s statement to the press on Saturday. As part of the report, we interviewed former White House press secretary Ari Fleischer. In editing the piece for air, his quote was shortened and as a result his opinions mischaracterized. We are fixing the piece online to include his full quote and context. We apologize and regret the error.

Fleischer said it's good to call the media out: “If this is how the press reports, Trump is right to go after them.”

“Nightline proves Spicer right about MSM's dedication to negativity,” Fleischer added on Twitter, noting his interviewed was taped and could’ve been reviewed for accuracy.

Media Covers Fake Mike Flynn Story, Ignores Bombshell on Secret Obama/Iran Meetings

If mainstream media truly wishes to repair its image with the general public, these outlets must recognize they do not merely suffer from a "bubble" reinforced by overwhelmingly liberal staffing, or from supposedly insufficient outreach to working class communities.

The mainstream's issues are apparent in their content choices, suggesting an intractable problem. Following decades of allowing the Democratic Party to select the day's narrative, they possess no measure of professional competence for objectively judging the importance of information.

The media's remarkably different responses to the following two stories offer a definitive example:

    1. Retired Lt. General Michael Flynn, President Trump's national security adviser, made a series of phone calls and texts to Russian Ambassador to the United States Sergey Kislyak on December 29, 2016. On that day, then-President Barack Obama had revealed that he was issuing sanctions against Russia for its supposed hacking of the Democratic National Committee.

    2. Per the Washington Free Beacon: "Two high-level Iranian government backers, including a former Islamic Republic official and another accused of lobbying on Tehran’s behalf, were hosted at the Obama White House for more than 30 meetings with top officials at key junctures in the former administration’s contested diplomacy with Iran ...

    "Sources familiar with the nature of the meetings told the Washington Free Beacon that both Parsi and Mousavian helped the White House craft its pro-Iran messaging and talking points that helped lead to the nuclear agreement with Iran. These efforts were part of a larger pro-Iran deal 'echo chamber' led by senior Obama administration officials who were tasked with misleading Congress about the nature of the deal ..."

Just about every mainstream outlet has covered the Michael Flynn story with multiple articles: Newsweek, CNN, Daily Beast, CBS News, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, and others -- a thorough search returns dozens of high-profile sources that published highly trafficked pieces.

Several pundits demanded answers, pointing to the calls as further evidence of Donald Trump having aligned himself with Vladimir Putin's dictatorial regime, and having allowed Putin to direct elements of his campaign and his coming presidency. Later, these same outlets announced that an "FBI investigation" into Flynn's calls and texts had commenced.

But this week, we learn the hysteria about Flynn and the FBI appears to have been unwarranted. The outlets which had previously inflated the story have since backed down.

As you read their follow-up stories below, note the cause of their initial hysteria: you know of the Mike Flynn story simply due to journalistic ineptitude -- specifically, the journalists' ignorance of diplomatic practices -- combined with their predetermined acceptance of the Trump/Russia narrative.

Yesterday, per NBC News:

    FBI Finds Nothing Amiss in Flynn-Russia Eavesdrop: Official

    The FBI eavesdropped on telephone calls between President Donald Trump's national security adviser and the Russian ambassador but found nothing improper, a U.S. intelligence official said.

    The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media, said late Monday that there was never a formal "investigation" of the calls in December between retired Army Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn and Sergei Kislyak, Russia's ambassador in Washington.

    According to the source, who was confirming a Washington Post report earlier Monday, intelligence officials merely listened in as part of routine eavesdropping on Kislyak.

    ...

    The former official, who requested anonymity to speak about sensitive information, said it was not uncommon for diplomats or other U.S. officials to garner such attention to if they are recorded talking to foreign counterparts. Rarely anything comes of this, however, because U.S. officials have wide latitude in how they communicate as part of their jobs.

And this is how the Washington Post article referenced above described the calls:

    The FBI’s counterintelligence agents listen to calls all the time that do not pertain to any open investigation, current and former law enforcement officials said. Often, said one former official, “they’re just monitoring the other [foreign official] side of the call.”

    Both Flynn, a former head of the Pentagon’s intelligence agency, and Kislyak, a seasoned diplomat, are probably aware that Kislyak’s phone calls and texts are being monitored, current and former officials said. That would make it highly unlikely, the individuals said, that the men would allow their calls to be conduits of illegal coordination.

Has the damage been done, however? When you hear "Mike Flynn," do you immediately consider him through the lens of this story?

Objectively, you should not, and further, you should not trust anything you have heard regarding Mike Flynn that traces to those outlets. They have shown both incompetence on the subject and vulnerability to a cynical Democratic Party narrative intended to damage Donald Trump's presidency.

Re-watch the Clinton-Trump debates: Clinton pulls focus towards Russia to minimize coverage of the scandalous content of John Podesta's emails. Further, following Trump's victory, President Obama announced the aforementioned sanctions against Russia, knowing such sanctions brought no tangible punishment to Putin -- then-President Elect Trump could rescind them within a month's time. Obama's motivations bear no rational explanation beyond continuing the narrative of Trump as an illegitimate president and pawn of Vladimir Putin.

Obama was successful -- these outlets proved to have been primed to run with later information, such as the Mike Flynn story, to further the Trump/Russia narrative.

Now, return to yesterday's exclusive story from Adam Kredo of the Washington Free Beacon:

    Seyed Mousavian, a former Iranian diplomat and head of its national security council, was hosted at the White House at least three times, while Trita Parsi, a pro-Iran advocate long accused of hiding his ties to the Iranian government, met with Obama administration officials some 33 times, according to recently updated visitor logs.

The implications of this story, considering Obama adviser Ben Rhodes later opened up about the extent of the Obama administration's duplicity with the public on the Iranian nuclear deal, are objectively relevant to anything else an America voter may read or believe regarding our national security. The Obama administration was surreptitiously welcoming counsel from two enemies of the state while crafting a treaty supposedly intended to prevent that enemy -- a genocidal regime with a messianic bent -- from obtaining nuclear weapons.

Here's how that Ben Rhodes article described how Obama misled America (link is to David Reaboi of The Federalist):

    In the spring of last year, legions of arms-control experts began popping up at think tanks and on social media, and then became key sources for hundreds of often-clueless reporters. ‘ We created an echo chamber,’ [Rhodes] admitted, when I asked him to explain the onslaught of freshly minted experts cheerleading for the deal. ‘ They were saying things that validated what we had given them to say.’

    ...

    Rhodes has become adept at ventriloquizing many people at once. Ned Price, Rhodes’s assistant, gave me a primer on how it’s done. The easiest way for the White House to shape the news, he explained, is from the briefing podiums ... "But then there are sort of these force multipliers," he said, adding, "We have our compadres, I will reach out to a couple people, and you know I wouldn’t want to name them—"

    "I can name them," I said, ticking off a few names of prominent Washington reporters and columnists who often tweet in sync with White House messaging.

    Price laughed. ‘I’ll say, “Hey, look, some people are spinning this narrative that this is a sign of American weakness,”’ he continued, "but—"

    "In fact it’s a sign of strength!" I said, chuckling.

These same "often-clueless" reporters the Obama administration was "ventriloquizing" were just utilized as gleeful political pawns yet again. Mike Flynn's brief calls and texts with the Russian ambassador should have immediately been dismissed as common diplomatic activity; they weren't, in service of a cynical political end sought by not just the Democratic Party, but by the media outlets themselves.

However, the Obama White House meetings with Mousavian and Parsi -- dozens of meetings -- can not rationally be attributed as common diplomatic contact. Even after Ben Rhodes spilled his secrets -- and not due to the weight of guilt, but due to pride in his work -- we still do not know the extent of the Obama administration's deceitful behavior during the passage of a bill that holds ramifications for global stability.

To summarize, the information uncovered by Adam Kredo is real news.

The Flynn story has been exposed as nothing notable beyond its potential as a political club; it was fake news.

As of this moment, not a single mainstream outlet has picked up the Adam Kredo story.

PJ Media and other "new media" outlets have, though.

As the mainstream continues to humiliate itself in an attempt to maintain a monopoly on information exiting Washington, D.C., the general public -- and certainly, the voters -- has developed an awareness that the mainstream's status as gatekeeper has always been artificial. It certainly never had anything to do with competence.

CNN Host Falsely Claims Trump Cutting International Planned Parenthood Funds Was Anti-Contraception
more FAKE NEWS

On Tuesday’s New Day, during a segment with Minnesota Democratic Rep. Keith Ellison as a guest, CNN’s Alisyn Camerota referred to President Donald Trump’s reinstatement of the Mexico City Policy and wrongly claimed that it would bar NGOs from discussing “contraception,” even though the policy would only withhold federal funding if they perform or encourage abortion.

Near the end of the segment at 8:20 a.m. ET, the CNN host mis-stated the policy and called it “baffling” as she posed:

    I do want to move on to the Mexico City gag rule that you talked about because this is baffling. Why not allow NGOs to be able to discuss family planning with women? As we understand — as I understand it — correct me if I’m wrong — they can’t even discuss contraception.

Not surprisingly, she was asking the wrong person for a correction as the far-left congressman merely went along with the premise of her question:

    Well, I think it’s a very damaging policy. I think it’s ideologically driven by some people’s religious beliefs. And I don’t think it’s right to impose that as U.S. policy. And I actually think that it’s pretty damaging when you consider, you know, how so many women around the world and so many people are relegated to poverty because women do not have the capacity and the ability to make choices around family planning. And so I think it’s really a disastrous policy, and I’m sorry that it happened.

It is possible that Camerota picked up this misinformation from an opinion article on CNN.com titled “Gag me: Trump’s anti-abortion executive order,” which at one point makes a similar erroneous claim:

    Implementation of the global gag rule went well beyond abortion to effectively limit all discussions of family planning, including condom use to prevent HIV infection, and multi-year spacing of pregnancies to avoid maternal deaths.

As alleged documentation, this sentence links to an article on the website of the group Impassioned Advocates for Girls and Women which complains that NGOs that refuse to back down from supporting abortion would lose funding for other services like contraception.

But this second article does not claim the groups would lose funding as a consequence of providing contraception. So Camerota seems to be repeating someone else’s misunderstanding of how the rule works.

Dewey Defeats Truman redux? Early edition of Boston Globe had Patriots losing Super Bowl
The Boston Globe regrets the error, no doubt.

The biggest local newspaper covering the New England Patriots also has a worldwide subscription base, and with Super Bowl LI running late into the night — the Patriots trailed the Atlanta Falcons, 28-3, mid-third quarter — it meant putting to bed an early edition of the Globe that reached homes in Florida (and perhaps other locations) with his fateful declaration:

Newspapers are dead, long live newspapers!

These covers apparently were all over the state on newsstands. Collect one while you can — it will be a fun relic to frame and hang in the ol’ mancave for years to come. Good conversation starter, we say.

Hey, we were raised reading the paper on a daily basis, and many folks over a certain age who work in this business — including ourselves — were former newspaper employees. This is in our blood, so we commiserate. When the deadline hits, you have to make a call. The internet obviously has changed much of this, but the Globe had to go with what it had: a seemingly insurmountable lead for the Patriots to overcome. Plus, that photo was absolutely a (lost) classic. Hard to go elsewhere when you have that thousand-words shot of a helpless Tom Brady watching Robert Alford run back his interception for a 21-zip Falcons lead.

Of course, the Globe as well as anyone should know never to count Brady out of any game, especially one as big as the Super Bowl. Perhaps hedging a bit on the finality of “A Bitter End” would have been the wiser editorial approach.

But perhaps this was the Globe’s quietly brilliant strategy: print papers saying the Patriots lost — knowing that, duh, they’re going to come back obviously — in the hopes that folks buy these instant treasures. Almost like the old baseball card companies that would print “error” cards and then retract them as a way to sell more cards and drive up value.

Yes, we still can’t help thinking in newspaper terms now and again.

NBC's Tur: Is Trump Going Down 'A Dangerous Path' Because Putin Has Killed Journalists and Trump Criticizes Them?

On Monday’s broadcast of “MSNBC Live,” host Katy Tur asked Senator Deb Fischer (R-NE) asked if she thought President Trump was heading down “a dangerous path” because Trump has avoided criticizing Vladimir Putin, Putin has killed journalists, and “Donald Trump has made no secret about going after journalists and his distaste for any news that doesn’t agree with him here.”

Tur asked, “Why — what is your sense of why this president is going above and beyond, bending over backwards, if you will, to stay away from criticizing the Russian president? And it’s almost — give him an excuse. As we know, there’s, since 2000, been a couple dozen suspicious deaths of journalists in Russia who came out against the government there. Donald Trump has made no secret about going after journalists and his distaste for any news that doesn’t agree with him here. Do you find that this is a dangerous path he is heading down?

Trump proven right: Media spinning terror stories

President Donald Trump has been severely critical of the news media for doing what he called a poor job of covering instances of Islamic terrorism not only in the U.S. but around the world.

The White House released a list late Monday of 70 terrorist attacks “executed or inspired” by ISIS, many of which Trump spokesman Sean Spicer said were not given sufficient coverage by the national media.

“You have seen what happened in Paris and Nice. All over Europe, it’s happening,” Trump told military leaders at the U.S. Central Command. “It’s gotten to a point where it’s not even being reported. And in many cases, the very, very dishonest press doesn’t want to report it. They have their reasons, and you understand that.”

One of the first news agencies to counter Trump’s allegations was the BBC, which on Tuesday ran a compilation of all its stories about the terrorist events on the administration’s list.

But as many terrorism experts told WND, it’s not the amount of coverage given to a specific event that counts but rather the type of coverage.

A classic example of that can be found by comparing and contrasting the coverage that two news agencies – WND and the BBC – gave to a brutal machete attack at the Nazareth Mediterranean Restaurant one year ago in February 2016 that left four patrons wounded, one critically.

In the BBC story, there is no mention of the words Islam, jihad, Muslim, refugee or immigrant. Every one of those words applied to the attacker, Mohamed Barry, who was a Muslim immigrant from the West African country of Guinea, as pointed out in the WND story.

“Trump is absolutely correct. The point is not that they ignore the stories, but they deliberately conceal and/or misrepresent the aspects of them that make it clear that they’re Islamic jihad attacks,” said Robert Spencer, editor of Jihad Watch.

One notorious example of this is the Orlando massacre, Spencer said.

“Mainstream news outlets claimed that he was a conflicted gay man lashing out at other gays,” he said. “This was outright disinformation: The FBI later announced that there was no evidence that he was gay, no gay apps on his phone, etc. Few outlets published his actual remarks, making it clear that he was killing for ISIS and Islam. The coverage of terrorist incidents in general in the establishment media deliberately misleads the public.”

One terrorist event not included on the White House list was the Chattanooga shooting in which Mohammad Abdulazeez killed five unarmed U.S. servicemen at a Navy recruiting center in July 2015. It took five months for the Obama Justice Department to declare the attack was an act of terrorism, and very little mainstream reporting was done to keep the attack in the national spotlight during those five months of silence by the DOJ. In other words, no pressure was placed on the administration to admit the obvious terrorism connections while the attack was still fresh in the minds of the news-consuming public.

Then came the University of California at Merced knife attack in November 2015 by a student there, Faisal Mohamed, whose parents emigrated to the U.S. from Pakistan.

The BBC did not report on the obvious jihadist markings in the attack, which wounded four people and would have been worse if a brave construction worker and officer had not intervened. The FBI waited four months to declare the attack an act of terrorism, disclosing that Mohamed had links to ISIS and had visited radical websites. Many national news agencies never covered the original attack. The BBC published a brief article on the incident after the FBI report came out, but by that time few Americans were paying attention. At least the BBC covered the FBI’s belated findings. Most establishment media companies did not.

The British-based BBC often provides more coverage of terrorist attacks than its U.S. counterparts, ABC, CBS and NBC, said Phillip Haney, retired Homeland Security officer who for more than 13 years screen immigrants and refugees for connections to terrorism.

“Let’s say that in terms of scope of coverage the BBC is actually correct that they were ahead of the others,” Haney told WND. “Even with the broader scope of coverage the BBC, as deficient as it is, it’s still better than the American journalistic coverage. During my time on the inside with DHS, it seemed like the Daily Mail, another British news outlet, would always come out with information within minutes if not hours, well ahead of American media, so why do we have to look into foreign media sources to find pieces of the story that you won’t find here?”

When it came to the San Bernardino attack by Syed Farook and his immigrant wife, Tashfeen Malik, the BBC, like CNN and most of the other establishment media outlets, covered the story predominantly within the leftist meme of “gun violence,” glossing over or ignoring the more pertinent theme of Islamic jihad. The BBC, in its report Tuesday, linked back to its San Bernardino coverage, which included a major sidebar linking and comparing the San Bernardino event to other stories about “gun violence.”

It’s exactly this type of broad contextual reporting, which the media are so good at when it comes to “gun violence,” that critics say is missing on the topic of Islamic terrorism.

An example of this came on Nov. 28, 2016, when a Somali refugee and student at Ohio State University goaded fellow students to exit a science building by pulling the fire alarm. Then he rammed his vehicle into them, got out and stabbed as many as possible. He injured 11 before he was shot dead by police. The obvious similarity of this attack and another just two months earlier in St. Cloud, Minnesota, were striking. Both attacks were carried out by a Somali Muslim refugee, both using knives against a civilian soft target. Yet almost none of the reporting by the mainstream media drew the parallels.

Rather, the BBC’s main article detailing the attack in San Bernardino on Dec. 11, 2015, starts out like a story about a “mass shooting” crime, not an Islamic jihadist attack. The word “Islam” does not even appear until the eighth paragraph.

The fact that Farook had recently traveled to Saudi Arabia was not mentioned until the 10th graph.

In the 14th graph, we find out that Farook and Malik had been “radicalized” for some time, but the BBC fails to inform its readers how or by whom this “radicalization” occurred. Do Muslims just wake up one day and decide to kill? Where does this inspiration come from? Silence on that issue is the unwritten code of conduct for mainstream news reporters.

And here’s the kicker. The reader must continue reading down to the 21st paragraph to find where the BBC has buried the most important news information. It is here that readers are finally told:

“U.S. officials have told the media Tashfeen Malik pledged allegiance to the leader of the Islamic State (IS) group on Facebook.”

Readers further learn that the U.S. government “did not pick up on extremist messages posted online when Farook and his wife began chatting.”

Haney, co-author of the book “See Something Say Nothing,” said it’s the point of emphasis that counts, not the volume of coverage.

“Look at what they choose to emphasize. It’s obvious the way they lay out the article on San Bernardino that they don’t really want to emphasize the Islamic aspect of the story,” he says. “Why didn’t they just put all that factual information into two or three paragraphs at the very beginning?”

As a former counter-terrorism officer at Customs and Border Patrol in DHS, Haney was involved in many of the cases on the White House list.

“I was there for the Boston bombing, Chattanooga shooting, Fort Hood massacre, Time Square bomber, and I saw the way these stories were reported,” he said.

He said it took him 10 minutes using open sources on his laptop to connect Orlando shooter Omar Mateen to a mosque in Fort Pierce, Florida, which has ties to the extremist group Tabliqui Jumaat.

Haney said the idea of “self radicalization” popularized in the U.S. media is largely a myth.

“I definitely agree with what Trump said, because I saw it first hand. I saw the way the coverage of these events was skewed by the ‘countering violent extremism’ narrative and the prevailing tendency to initially report that there was no link between mainstream Islam and terrorism,” he said.

And whenever someone in Congress wanted to get serious about Islamic terrorism, they were brutalized in the media, Haney said.

He cites the case of Michele Bachmann, Louie Gohmert and several other members of Congress who wanted to investigate the Muslim Brotherhood’s infiltration of the Obama administration in 2012.

“The way they covered that story, they reacted with the same level of political hysteria as they did when Trump issued his executive order temporarily banning travel from seven countries,” Haney said. “Mike Rogers [former Michigan GOP congressman], John Boehner [former House Speaker] and Sen. John McCain attacked the five members of Congress with hysterical fury. They were conspiracy theorists, they were biased, they were Islamophobic, racist, unnecessarily targeting wonderful people like Huma Abedin. And it was widely covered that way by the mainstream media. There was never any analytic, thoughtful, step-by-step reporting, I wonder if it is true, could it be true, and what is it the inspector general’s role to investigate?”

By contrast, Haney points to how quickly the inspector general lurched into action when Trump implemented his executive order.

“Within a day or two of the order being implemented, the inspector general launched an investigation,” he said. “Whereas, in 2012, they couldn’t find the wherewithal to inspect five members of Congress alleging deep involvement of the Muslim Brotherhood in the Obama administration. So, Trump is right; they are biased. The other thing they always say is, ‘Let’s be careful not to jump to any hasty conclusions,’ and then that’s it, they leave you hanging. And by the time they revisit the story, you forget what the plot of the movie has been and what you were watching to begin with.”

A familiar pattern

Whether it was San Bernardino, Chattanooga, Columbus or Orlando, Haney says the “automatic, reflexive response, by the media was to say, ‘We don’t have any evidence of a foreign terrorist link,’ or they say upfront it is linked to ISIS, which allows people to come to a false conclusion, that there is either no foreign link to terrorism or it’s just those ISIS guys, so we must be OK because it’s just some kooks who got radicalized on the Internet and got affiliated with this nasty group called ISIS.”

The media over the last eight years have increasingly considered off limits any reporting on mosques and their involvement in terrorism.

“The radical message, it’s often affirmed here in the mosques. That’s the big question that is never asked or investigated, that maybe some of the mosques right here in the United States are really the source of some of the so-called radicalization,” Haney said. “That is the danger. Trump is right. He’s not always eloquent in the way he says it, but he’s right.”

Below is the White House list of terror attacks it said were planned or inspired by ISIS.

Mainstream media whines as Trump calls on less established news outlets
 :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

The mainstream media isn’t liking the new set up at the White House: Lesser name news outlets are being called on during press briefings, rather than the old, established bellwethers.
During his press conference with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, President Donald Trump called on two news outlets: WJLA a local ABC news affiliate, and the Daily Caller. Both failed to ask him about the fate of his national security adviser Gen. Michael Flynn, who has been marred in a controversy that he spoke to Russian authorities before Mr. Trump took office.
And the mainstream media immediately pounced – saying Mr. Trump was picking favorites in order to avoid questioning on Mr. Flynn.
“By handpicking reporters, Trump manages to get through a news conference without being asked about Flynn,” New York Times reporter Peter Baker lamented on Twitter – failing to mention that all U.S. presidents handpick reporters.
Bloomberg’s Angela Greiling Keane helped him clarify. :'(  ;D

New York Times Reporter Reprimanded for "****" Comment About Melania Trump

The comment became public knowledge on Monday after supermodel Emily Ratajkowski stated that she heard what was said and was outraged over it.
A New York Times reporter has been reprimanded by the paper for a comment made about first lady Melania Trump.

The reporter made the comment on Sunday during a New York Fashion Week event. The newspaper did not identify the name of the staffer.

"At a party last night, a Times reporter who does not cover Washington or politics, referred to an unfounded rumor regarding Melania Trump,” the newspaper said in a statement. “The comment was not intended to be public, but it was nonetheless completely inappropriate and should not have occurred. Editors have talked to the reporter in question about the lapse.”

The comment became public knowledge on Monday after supermodel Emily Ratajkowski said on social media she heard what was said and was outraged over it.

"Sat next to a journalist from the NYT last night who told me 'Melania is a ****,'" Ratajkowski tweeted. "Whatever your politics it's crucial to call this out for what it is: **** shaming. I don't care about her nudes or sexual history and no one should."

The Trumps are suing The Daily Mail over a story which claimed she had once been an escort.

Maduro Kicks CNN out of Venezuela for Report on School Food Shortages

President Nicolás Maduro has expelled CNN after accusing the international news outlet of “manipulating” information about Venezuela.

Maduro said Sunday he wants CNN “outside” Venezuela after he claimed the news channel manipulated information about a student’s complaint regarding the lack of food at school.

“Some media like CNN tried to manipulate information,” he said. “They can not manipulate information like that, it’s our affair, of Venezuelans. CNN does not need to put its nose in Venezuela … I want CNN well away from here.”

Last week, a student demanded on national television that the president improve the conditions of his school, asking for security, infrastructure and food so his classmates wouldn’t faint from hunger anymore.

CNN en Espańol visited the high school and talked with the staff about the student, and whether Maduro had made any improvements since that incident only to discover he had not.

Maduro said the young woman “uncovered a situation that had to be spoken about.”

Top Dems Fall for Fake News Propagated by the NY Times, Use it to Slam GOP
Fact check? We don’t need no stinking fact check.


It's  been tough for top Democratic leadership lately. Last week, Nancy Pelosi wicked witch thought George Bush was still president and Maxine Waters Tool thought Korea was Crimea and couldn’t remember anything about Aleppo. This week, their minds are no better.

On Tuesday, The New York Times published a tweet attributed to now-resigned national security advisor Michael Flynn. It simply said, “scapegoat.” But as it turned out, the message originated from a fake account masquerading as Flynn. NY Times editors issued an apology for the mistake but not in time for both House Minority Leader Pelosi and Dem Rep. Elijah Cummings repeated it during a news conference.

Cummings mentioned the single-word tweet and said it’s time “to hold a public hearing with Flynn to get to the bottom of this.” Pelosi spoke after Cummings, saying, “I didn’t know until I heard from our colleague that the tweet was 'scapegoat.'”

"The inference to be drawn from his statement is other people have blame that should be shared in all of this,” Pelosi added.

Both Democrats’ staff realized the error after it was too late but informed their bosses. Pelosi spokesperson Drew Hammill said, “We will have a correction in our transcript.” Then he deferred blame away from Pelosi: "Mr. Cummings brought this up and Leader Pelosi was repeating what he said. This was not in the Leader’s prepared remarks."

Flynn resigned over discussing sanctions with a Russian ambassador during the White House transition. Democrats have called for a deeper investigation into the Flynn/Russia connection and thought they had an ace in the hole with this tweet. Not so fast.

After Likening Trump to Hitler, Journalists Upset They're Not Getting Called on for Questions



'The President of the United States is shutting down the part of the First Amendment'

Members of the mainstream media were left fuming this afternoon after President Trump refused to call on any of their organizations for the third straight press conference.

Yet many of these same news organizations have likened Trump to the Taliban and Adolf Hitler, floated false rumors about his use of a Russian prostitute, and accused his administration of being pro-slavery.

After Trump avoided calling on MSNBC during today's presser with Benjamin Netanyahu, MSNBC’s Peter Alexander complained that the conservative journalists he did call on didn’t ask “real questions” like he would have.

“What was striking," Alexander said, was that "President Trump, again, called on a series of more conservative leaning news organizations which didn’t allow for any real questions, trying to zero in on this issue of Mike Flynn, the now former national security advisor."

We can't speak for Trump, but one reason he may not be in a rush to give MSNBC more airtime is that they seem intent on using it to liken him to Adolf Hitler.

On Trump's Inauguration Day, MSNBC's Rachel Maddow likened Trump's election to "Hitler's rise." Her colleague Chris Matthews described Trump's inaugural address as "Hitlerian." Matthews also mocked Trump's family, likening them to the Russian imperial family, the Romanovs. He's so fond of this metaphor he now uses it all the time.

CNN reporters were likewise angry at not being called on during today's Trump presser.

"In the last three news conferences, Wolf, all of the questions to the American news media have been handled by conservative press, and I think, Wolf, there’s no other way to describe it but the fix is in," CNN's Jim Acosta vented during a post-press conference interview with Wolf Blitzer. "This White House, this president does not want to answer questions, critical questions, about his associates, his aides’ contacts with the Russians during the course of that campaign just as his national security advisor is being run out of this White House on a rail."

CNN's John King echoed his colleague, complaining that conservative journalists are not asking Trump “tough questions."

“Well, it would be nice — it would be nice if the conservative outlets the president is calling on would ask him tough questions," King lamented. "And instead of actually trying to curry favor with this president, they might do him a favor by letting him answer these questions because until he answers these questions this story is not going to go away."

Why might Trump be ignoring CNN?

Trump himself explained his frustration in an earlier press conference, when he noted that CNN ran a report about a rumor -- since discredited -- that he had used the services of a prostitute during a trip to Moscow. Trump even complimented The New York Times for passing on the story. CNN has since stuck by its decision to publish the uncorroborated report. 

ABC's Matthew Dowd went so far as to claim today that Trump is "shutting down" the First Amendment by not calling on liberal media outlets during these press conferences.

“Well, I was struck by — when you look at this, this is two democracies, two important democracies in the world and basically the President of the United States is shutting down the part of the First Amendment by not taking questions that are going to be any way antagonistic in this," Dowd said.

What might Trump have against ABC? Well, Dowd himself has accused Trump of pushing legislation that plays to the racial “fears” of his base. On ABC's political show, "The View," hosts have likened Trump to the Taliban, claimed his administration wants to bring back slavery, and said his approach to the media mirrors a dictatorship.

So who did Trump call on today? The Christian Broadcast Network and Townhall.com. Both of these news organizations have run plenty of negative Trump stories. Townhall's two most well known pundits -- Katie Pavlich and Guy Benson -- were both outwardly opposed to Trump during the Republican primary.

One thing they haven't done? Publish anti-Trump fake news and/or compare him to history's most infamous mass murderers.

CNN’s Don Lemon Walks Off Show After Guest Accuses Him Of Reporting Fake News (VIDEO)

 :D

CNN has come under heavy fire from many people for reporting fake news including President Trump who called CNN ‘very fake news’ at his last presser. CNN can dish it out, but they can’t take it! After bullying Trump and colluding with Hillary Clinton during the 2016 election cycle they are finally getting a dose of their own medicine.

Of course CNN was blathering on about the cost to keep President Trump safe and how to make it fiscally better for the American people…all of a sudden liberals want to watch pennies and be fiscally responsible. I guess we’ll just have to suspend reality for a moment to forget about the trillions of debt Obama racked up.

Don Lemon: “Paris, what do you think?”

Paris Dennard: “I think this is fake news. This is not…this is not a news story.”

Don Lemon: “What about it is fake, Paris? Are we going down this road again?”

Paris Dennard: “Yeah we are! The President is not breaking any laws.”

Don Lemon: “…Please stop with that stupid talking point that this is a fake news story!…”

Paris Dennard: ” Don this is a fake news story in my opinion….”

This is where Don Lemon couldn’t take it anymore, cut off his guest and walked off his show!

Don Lemon: “Ok, thank you very much everyone. Thanks for watching. Have a great weekend. Good night all.”

What’s really funny is watching Don Lemon try to lecture someone on what the definition of fake news is. Congrats to CNN for being promoted from ‘fake news’ to ‘VERY fake news’!

It Is About Time That We Had A President That Was Willing To Go To War With The Mainstream Media

Thursday afternoon’s press conference was perhaps the most memorable moment of Donald Trump’s presidency so far.  Trump’s blistering attack on the media was quite a spectacle, but the truth is that it was desperately needed.  For decades, the mainstream media has dominated political discourse in this country no matter who has been in control of the White House or Congress.  They have become masters of guiding and shaping public opinion, and in recent years they have completely discarded any pretense of being “unbiased” or “objective”.  These monolithic media organizations relentlessly push the progressive agenda of their owners (the global elite), and that is why the “news” always seems to be just about the same no matter which network it is coming from.  Their monopoly is slowly being broken by the rise of the alternative media, but the truth is that most Americans still rely on just a handful of ultra-powerful media organizations for their news.

So when Trump brutally attacked the mainstream media at his press conference on Thursday, millions upon millions of Americans greatly rejoiced, because they finally got what was coming to them.  And then on Friday, Trump posted a message to Twitter calling the New York Times, NBC, ABC, CBS and CNN “the enemy of the American people”…

After Donald Trump’s surprise election victory in November, many in the mainstream media started referring to the pro-Trump alternative media as “fake news”, but now Trump has totally turned that insult against them.

For weeks Trump has been referring to CNN as “fake news”, but on Friday he said that he was now going to refer to them as “very fake news”.  The following exchange between Trump and CNN’s Jim Acosta comes from the official White House website…

Q    Just because of the attack of fake news and attacking our network, I just want to ask you, sir —

THE PRESIDENT:  I’m changing it from fake news, though.

Q    Doesn’t that undermine —

THE PRESIDENT:  Very fake news now.  (Laughter.)

We have never seen an exchange quite like that between a president of the United States and a prominent member of the mainstream media, but it was well overdue…

For eight years, the mainstream media gushed and fawned over Barack Obama because he supported the progressive agenda of the global elite, but now that Trump is in the White House virtually every story from the mainstream media is negative.

So when Chief White House Strategist Steve Bannon refers to them as “the opposition party” he is right on target…

In a rare interview with The New York Times last month, Chief White House Strategist Steve Bannon, the former chair of the far-right Breitbart News, called reporters the “opposition party” and said “the media should be embarrassed and humiliated and keep its mouth shut and just listen for a while.”

“They don’t understand this country,” Bannon said. “They still do not understand why Donald Trump is the president of the United States.”

At this point, the mainstream media is so desperate to portray Trump as a bad guy that they have resorted to a modern day version of McCarthyism.  For decades, liberals always pointed to McCarthyism as one of the greatest examples of paranoia and intolerance in modern American history, but now they are doing the exact same thing to Trump…

A bizarre feature of the present confrontation is that the Democrats and liberals have relaunched McCarthyism, something they would have decried as a toxic episode in American political history until a few months ago. Just as Senator Joe McCarthy claimed in 1950 to have a list of communist infiltrators in the State Department, so any contact between a Trump supporter or official and a Russian is now being reported as suspicious and potentially treacherous. It is difficult to see where Trump is wrong when he tweeted that “the Democrats had to come up with a story as to why they lost the election, and so badly, so they made up a story – RUSSIA. Fake news!”

The reason why many of us constantly refer to the mainstream media as a single entity is because it really is very tightly controlled.  You see, the truth is that more than 90 percent of the news, information and entertainment that Americans get through their televisions comes from just 6 giant media corporations.  And of course those 6 enormous corporations are owned and controlled by the elite of the world.

The war for our society is a war for hearts and minds, and the reason why the elite have made so much progress is because most Americans allow thousands upon thousands of hours of “programming” to be constantly pumped into their heads.

The following numbers come directly from Nielsen, and they show how much news, information and entertainment average Americans consume through various methods each day…

Watching live television: 4 hours, 32 minutes

Watching time-shifted television: 30 minutes

Listening to the radio: 2 hours, 44 minutes

Using  a smartphone: 1 hour, 33 minutes

Using Internet on a computer: 1 hour, 6 minutes

When you add the top two categories together, the average American consumes more than five hours of television every single day.

And when you add all of those categories together, the average American is plugged into “the matrix” in some way for more than 10 hours a day.

We are literally subjecting ourselves to a form of very powerful mind control, and the extraordinary power of the media is something that I addressed in my novel.  There are some people that actually cannot stand complete silence because they have become so accustomed to having something “on” all the time.  As a society, we are absolutely addicted to entertainment, but there is always an agenda behind that entertainment.  This is something that I talked about in a previous article…

Virtually every television show, movie, song, book, news broadcast and talk show is trying to shape how you view reality.  Whether you realize it or not, you are constantly being bombarded with messages about what is true and what is not, about what is right and what is wrong, and about what really matters and what is unimportant.  Even leaving something out or ignoring something completely can send an extremely powerful message.

When Donald Trump said that the mainstream media is “the enemy of the American People”, he was 100 percent correct.

If our country is going to have a positive future, the immense power that these media corporations have over the general population must be broken.

It is about time that we had a president that was willing to go to war with the mainstream media, and I greatly applaud President Trump for the stand that he is taking.

MSNBC Kicks GOP Guest Off Show After He Points Out Elizabeth Warren Is NOT Native-American! (VIDEO)

Nasty Liberal Joy Reid Can’t Handle The Truth

On Saturday, MSNBC’s Joy Reid repeatedly attempted to race-bait former Republican congressman J.D. Hayworth on her show AM Joy. NewsBusters reported that the claims that Reid threw at Hayworth ranged from “false to misleading.”

However it wasn’t until Hayworth exposed Reid’s liberal hypocrisy by bringing up the fact that Elizabeth Warren is not Native-American that Reid flipped out and kicked the GOP guest off the show.

From NewsBusters:

    Hayworth then began to complain about the pattern of liberals trying to insert race into political discussions, and started to cite Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren’s recent accusations of racism against Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Hayworth: “But I understand, well, I’ll tell you, we’ll take it out of — we’ll take it our of the ethnicity, although that’s tough when you take a look at the stunt that Elizabeth Warren pulled, and we know that she falsely claimed to be American-Indian-”

    After Reid injected, “What does Elizabeth Warren have to do with anything?” Hayworth continued: “Well, because it’s another stunt in the Senate to set up aggrieved class-“

Transcript from Reid’s outburst:

    Wait a minute, okay, J.D., can I just tell you something? We’re going to end here, but, sir, sir, sir, you’ve talked about strawmen, but twice now you’ve answered questions with non sequiturs that have some sort of an ethnic base to them. Now, you’ve gone after Elizabeth Warren’s Native-American heritage, which is a complete non sequitur.

Hayworth then quickly hit back at the notion that Warren has Native-American heritage by saying “She has none!”

Continuation from Reid’s outburst:

    I think we’re done with this segment because you literally answered a non sequitur that’s incredibly offensive. I’m going to let Rosie Perez talk about the — thank you for being here. No, you know what, what an odd exchange. Odd non sequiturs. I want to talk to you for a second, Rosie Perez. Thank you. Wow.

Snowflakes Create Fake News Site To Let Liberals Live In Alternate Reality Where Hillary Is President
“Approval ratings for President Clinton hit 89 percent,” “Confused by fake news, Redditers think Trump is president” and “DOJ considers charging Trump with treason” are just a few headlines featured on HillaryBeatTrump.org, a satirical news site devoted to covering stories from an alternate universe where Hillary won last November’s election.

2/21/17

Liberals seeking refuge from reality now have a fake news website where they can pretend to live in a world where Hillary Clinton is president.

EDITOR’S NOTE: When liberals are in power, they walk about swaggering, crowing and issuing endless reams of job-killing regulations and tax increases. But when they lose, they whimper and cry like little babies, seeking safe spaces and counseling. The latter, and not the former, is what we contend to be the true state of the American Liberal in 2017.

“Approval ratings for President Clinton hit 89 percent,” “Confused by fake news, Redditers think Trump is president” and “DOJ considers charging Trump with treason” are just a few headlines featured on HillaryBeatTrump.org, a satirical news site devoted to covering stories from an alternate universe where Hillary won last November’s election.

“In the midst of a Constitutional crisis, this is our response,” the site’s description reads. “Long live the true president, Hillary Rodham Clinton.”

The site’s proprietors do not identify themselves online, and did not return TheDC’s request for comment, but their articles suggest they have liberal leanings.

The site’s articles single out prominent Republicans like Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and White House press secretary Sean Spicer for mockery.

“On Monday, Senator Ted Cruz went on Ellen to confess that he, of course, killed Deputy White House Counsel Vince Foster in 1993,” reads one recent article, which refers to Cruz as “the Republican front-runner to take on President Hillary Rodham Clinton in 2020.” source

Mika Brzezinski — The Media’s Job Is To ‘Actually Control Exactly What People Think’ [VIDEO]

Mika Brzezinski criticized President Trump for undermining the media’s role in controlling “what people think” on MSNBC Wednesday morning.

The “Morning Joe” host explained to the panel that Trump’s behavior is “dangerous.”

"He is trying to undermine the media and trying to make up his own facts,” she continued. “He could have undermined the messaging so much that he can actually control exactly what people think.”

Brzezinski: ‘Our Job’ Is to Control ‘Exactly What People Think’

Controlling "exactly what people think" is the job of the media, MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski boldly declared Wednesday morning.

While discussing President Trump's entreaties to the American people to remain skeptical of the press, Bzezinski worried that if the economy turns south, Americans may end up trusting him over the media.

"And it could be that while unemployment and the economy worsens, he could have undermined the messaging so much that he can actually control exactly what people think," Brzezinski said. "And that, that is our job."

SCARBOROUGH: "Exactly. That is exactly what I hear. What Yamiche said is what I hear from all the Trump supporters that I talk to who were Trump voters and are still Trump supporters. They go, 'Yeah you guys are going crazy. He's doing -- what are you so surprised about? He is doing exactly what he said he is going to do.'"

BRZEZINSKI: "Well, I think that the dangerous, you know, edges here are that he is trying to undermine the media and trying to make up his own facts. And it could be that while unemployment and the economy worsens, he could have undermined the messaging so much that he can actually control exactly what people think. And that, that is our job."

CNN: You Don't See Us or New York Times 'Rooting for Any President’... EXCEPT WHEN THEY DID (VIDEO)

CNN Continues To Lie To America

On Friday, The Gateway Pundit reported that CNN was extremely upset over the fact that they weren’t invited to an informal White House press get together.

CNN media reporter Brian Stelter spoke out against the move by the White House to not include media outlets like CNN and the New York Times. Stelter said “We don’t see CNN or the New York Times rooting for any president, whether a Democrat or a Republican.”

The only problem with that statement is that CNN and The New York Times did root for a particular for a particular person to become President, Hillary Clinton

'FACT-CHECKER' CALLS TRUE TRUMP CLAIM 'MOSTLY FALSE'
PolitiFact contradicts own report by confirming president's numbers on debt 'check out'

One of the recently profiled “fact checker” organizations that often betray a left-leaning bias has set a new precedent for disseminating “fake news.”

PolitiFact concluded that while a tweet Sunday by President Trump was factually correct — “the numbers check out” — the statement remained “mostly false.”

Trump tweeted: “The media has not reported that the national debt in my first month went down by $12 billion vs a $200 billion increase in Obama first mo.”

Politifact wrote: “The numbers check out. And in fact, the total public debt has dropped another $22 billion … according to data from the U.S. Department of Treasury.”

It then quoted one of its writers to argue that the drop is not significant, because the national debt fluctuates up and down.

Ultimately, the writer insisted, the debt accumulation will return.

 

Reacting to the Politifact post, Thomas Lifson at American Thinker said the left “has always been tethered to fantasy, but is now at the stage of almost admitting it in public.”

“The Marxist claims of ‘scientific socialism’ lasted for generations (and is indeed still believed in the fever swamps of the left), but PolitiFact, as wannabe watchdog of media accuracy, is beclowning itself in such a public manner that laughter is the only reasonable response.”

One of PolitiFact’s largest contributors is Clinton donor Alberto Ibarguen, president and CEO of the Knight Foundation. Ibarguen contributed $200,000 to the eighth annual Clinton Global Initiative University meeting in February 2015, Breitbart reported. The Knight Foundation also donated between $10,000 and $25,000 to the Clinton Foundation, Politico said.

Get James Dobson’s classic, “When God Doesn’t Make Sense,” from the WND Superstore.

Breitbart’s Jerome Hudson published an analysis that documented how PolitiFact made phone calls and sent a reporter to investigate whether Gov. Scott Walker actually paid $1 for a sweater he bought at Kohl’s. PolitiFact later ruled Walker’s claim “true.”

And when Trump said Hillary Clinton wants “open borders,” PolitiFact deemed his statement “mostly false,” despite the fact that Clinton admitted as much in a private, paid speech to a Brazilian bank on May 16, 2013.

“My dream is a hemispheric common market, with open trade and open borders,” she said at the time.

WND’s sweeping story on the fact-checkers that are “fake,” those with a political agenda, found they were run by a gamer, a Trump-hater, a sex-and-fetish blogger, a health-industry worker, groups with Democratic party ties and others.

WND reported the websites often show an obvious bias against conservative-leaning outlets, and many fail to include clear explanations of the criteria they use for determining whether a news site is legitimate. Other ‘experts’ offer little or no biographical information establishing their qualifications for making judgments about journalism quality.

Chuck Todd Shut Down by Tom Cotton for Citing Anonymous Sources
Burn.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mc6Iwby_WD8

Chuck Todd was given a harsh lesson in relying too much on anonymous sources by Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton on Sunday’s Meet the Press.

Todd wanted to know when the Trump/Russia ties allegation were going to reach the level of warranting a special prosecution like the one Cotton asked for with the IRS scandal.

Cotton plainly stated a decision like that is “far down the road” in this case because “there is no credible evidence of these contacts beyond anonymous sources in the media.”

“And I’ve got to tell you,” Cotton added, “anonymous sources can’t always be trusted.”

Au contraire, argued Todd, saying, “Anonymous sources are how we find out about a lot of scandal in this country.”

Then Cotton brought the reality, stunning Todd:

“Anonymous sources said Steve Bannon drove from the White House to the Department of Homeland Security to confront John Kelly, which we now know is not the truth. That’s not like the tone of a conversation, that is someone’s physical whereabouts.”

Todd attempted to enact further protests, but Cotton wasn’t having it: “You cannot credit stories that are based on anonymous sources. You should look into them especially if you're in a position of responsibility, but you can't simply credit them.”

And Todd quickly changed the subject.

CNN’s Don Lemon Falsely Reports Loretta Lynch Recused Herself From The Hillary Email Investigation

Just more fake news from CNN

CNN’s Don Lemon claimed that Loretta Lynch recused herself from the Hillary Clinton e-mail investigation after meeting with Bill Clinton on the tarmac. Of course this isn’t true. Loretta Lynch never recused herself, rather she said she would accept whatever the FBI recommended.

Don Lemon: “Loretta Lynch recused herself from any decision regarding Hillary Clinton because of that meeting of Hillary Clinton and Loretta Lynch, who was attorney general at the time, on the tarmac.” (Lynch actually met with Bill Clinton)

Dana Bash was on the panel and interrupted by saying, “Loretta Lynch, she did say she wouldn’t be involved in the decisions, but didn’t completely remove herself from the investigation, which could be an example of why (the Trump White House) potentially need to do it differently this time.”

Don Lemon misspoke AND falsely reported Loretta Lynch’s recusal. Lynch never recused herself from the investigation. She simply said that she would accept whatever the FBI recommended.

CNN Cuts Feed After Congressman Speaks Truth About Refugees and Terrorism
The Counterfeit News Network strikes again.

https://youtu.be/RXaYPhzdO_U

Speaking the truth on CNN guarantees one thing: a cut feed. It happens all the time on the Counterfeit News Network.

The latest victim was GOP Rep. Scott Taylor of Virginia. He was on with Dana Bash on Monday, fielding her questions on President Trump’s travel restrictions from Muslim-majority countries. Taylor, a former Navy SEAL sniper and current member of the appropriations committee that oversees Homeland Security, brought up the troubling FBI statistics on the terrorist activities of refugees coming into the country and that was enough to have his remote feed from Miami cut:

"Just today, the FBI comes out and says that 30 percent — 30 percent — of their domestic terrorism cases that they're investigating are from folks who are refugees. It’s important not to label all refugees bad people, that's not why I'm here, but —“

Gone.

Dash smiled and said, “I was just going to say, congressman, it's time to go, but I think the TV gremlins did that for us.”

Ah, yes, the ole “TV gremlins” were at it again.

Just like they were here:

Disney Boss Says No Political Bias at ABC News and ESPN, Complaints 'Completely Exaggerated'

Disney, which owns both ABC News and ESPN, held its annual shareholder meeting on Wednesday, where Iger responded to a question about the leftwing political bias at the networks by Justin Danhof of the National Center for Public Policy Research.

Iger insisted that ABC News has been entirely on the level in its coverage of the 2016 campaign and President Trump. He said:

    ABC News has reported to me, directly or indirectly, for almost 25 years. I’m an expert on ABC News, and I can stand here today, look you in the face, and say I’m proud of the efforts of ABC News.

    I respect ABC News, and I believe they work very, very hard to present news in an extremely fair way. There are always going to be people – yourself included and perhaps the president – who are going to believe that it is not being presented in a manner that’s consistent with their own beliefs. There’s an indictment made about the press simply because some of the press do not necessarily tow the line with positions being taken by others.

Danhof, whose organization buys stocks in firms so it can attend shareholder meetings and ask tough questions, pointed out that Iger sidestepped the toughest parts of his query on Wednesday. The CEO simply ignored the part of his question that dealt with George Stephanopoulos, the former Clinton White House aide and now ABC News personality.

Stephanopoulos was found in the Wikileaks hacks of the Democratic National Committee to have colluded with the Clinton campaign on story ideas, editing questions and lines of attack on Peter Schweizer, who wrote the book Clinton Cash a New York Times bestseller that detailed conflicts of interest and other misdealings by Bill and Hillary Clinton.

Danhof said of Iger:

    How he lined up his response was telling. He wouldn’t address the question. He was sticking his head in the sand. His response was that I was making this up. But this has reached a nexus. Will his network continue to ignore or mock the millions of Americans in flyover country, or will we work to make his networks more inviting to other points of view? Right now, he’s saying he doesn’t want us as customers.

Iger was even more determined when it came to ESPN, the sports giant that has announced in recent days it plans another round of layoffs because of massive financial losses that some attribute to its sharp leftward ideological turn.

In his questioning, Danhof mentioned an exchange between two on-air personalities for the network about how, if they said, “Coming up, why Donald Trump is awesome,” they would “not last until the first commercial.”

Iger insisted the network exhibited no bias.

“The charge that ESPN is exhibiting significant political bias in its programming is just completely exaggerated,” Iger said. “One small communication and blowing it up into something that sounds a lot larger than it is. Watch ESPN and you’re not going to see political bias at ESPN.”

Critics say there is, in fact, a lot of bias at ESPN. They point to Caitlyn Jenner winning the Arthur Ashe Courage Award, the network’s endorsement of Black Lives Matter at the ESPY Awards, ESPN-W’s aggressive coverage of the Women’s March on Washington in January, and the firing of Doug Adler — a tennis commentator — after he referred to the “guerrilla effect” of Venus Williams moving closer to the net on second serves at the Australian Open.

There is also daily bias from commentators such as Michael Wilbon and Tony Kellerman. And then there is Kevin Blackstone, an African-American sportswriter who appears on ESPN talk programs and once referred to the Star Spangled Banner as a “war anthem.”

Curt Schilling, the former big league pitcher who was fired in April 2016 after he tweeted out support for the North Carolina law that required people to use the bathroom of their anatomical sex, scoffed at the notion ESPN is unbiased.

“We recognize Abby Wambach and her stance on the gay lifestyle in the sports world, but not Milo Yiannopoulos and his gay perspective as a victim of molestation,” Schilling said in an email to Breitbart News. “We recognize that every issue Stephen A. Smith has in sports is based on black and white, not talent. But we don’t recognize Ben Carson, a conservative man from the worst of the worst backgrounds who never allowed color to taint his world perspective.”

Fake News: CNN Cuts Live Feed AGAIN as Obamacare Victim Speaks Out (VIDEO)

Well, it looks like the ‘T.V. Gremlins’ got to CNN’s live feed again. CNN cuts off woman as she shares her financial struggles as a business owner and cattle rancher with President Trump due to stifling Obamacare costs.

    Obamacare victim: “Our rates are 3 times what they were before Obamacare started. We have one provider in our County. We have very little options for what we can and cannot do.

    We’re a small business owner. We’re actually not a brick and mortar, we are actually cattle ranchers. We can’t afford our equipment if we are paying these rates year after year after year. Our food source is in jeopardy because of this healthcare law…it’s my basic.”

    Trump: “I know.”

    CNN: “Just lost the tape there from the White House. The President had a listening session in the White House…”

It looks like CNN needs a better engineer who can fix this problem once and for all. They always seem to lose their live feed when something important being reported. Hmmmm…

Even the weather service is into fake news or fake weather

WEATHER SERVICE DECIDED LAST MINUTE NOT TO CUT SNOW FORECAST

Before the first snow fell, U.S. meteorologists realized there was a good chance the late-winter storm wasn't going to produce giant snow totals in big Northeast cities as predicted.

But they didn't change their forecasts because they said they didn't want to confuse the public.

National Weather Service meteorologists in Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Washington held a conference call Monday afternoon about computer models that dramatically cut predicted snow amounts. They decided to keep the super snowy warnings.

"Out of extreme caution we decided to stick with higher amounts," Greg Carbin, chief of forecast operations at the Weather Prediction Center in suburban Maryland, told The Associated Press. "I actually think in the overall scheme that the actions (by states and cities) taken in advance of the event were exceptional."

On Monday, the weather service predicted 18 to 24 inches of snow in New York City. By late Tuesday afternoon, Central Park was covered with a little more than 7 inches of snow with rain and sleet still falling. Other areas, including upstate New York and Connecticut, received more than a foot and a half of snow. Swaths of Pennsylvania were walloped by 20 to 30 inches of snow.

Carbin said a last-minute change downgrading snowfall totals might have given people the wrong message that the storm was no longer a threat. It still was, but real danger was from ice and sleet in places like New York City and Washington, he said.

Dramatically changing forecasts in what meteorologists call "the windshield wiper effect" only hurts the public, said Bob Henson, a meteorologist for the private Weather Underground.

Carbin stood by the decision.

"The nature of the beast is that there's always uncertainty in every forecast and we have to get better at describing that," Carbin said.

The right amount of precipitation fell, but it came down as rain and sleet because the rain-snow line moved inland, according to Carbin and private forecasters.

The rain-snow line is a 50 mile wide north-south swath where cold Arctic air from the north and west clashes with warm, moist air from the Atlantic. West of the snow line saw heavy snow while east had rain and sleet.

The snow line happens to center on New York City so it was a bigger deal than if the line had been over a rural area, said private meteorologist Ryan Maue of WeatherBell Analytics .

Private forecast outfits said the National Weather Service did a good job forecasting a tough storm despite the beating the federal agency took on social media.

"Overall the range of the forecast was very solid. It ended up being on the low end," Henson said. "I understand why people can be frustrated when the expectation is the big storm."

University of Georgia meteorology professor Marshall Shepherd, host of the television show "Weather Geeks," said the public focused too much on worst-case scenarios.

"The perception of 'bust' is that it didn't materialize for New York in the manner expected. Much of the expected snow fell as sleet," Shepherd said in an email. "To me, ice is a far greater hazard. If a pitcher throws a strike down the center of the plate or just off the outside corner, it's still a strike. "

Russia Orders Investigation into U.S. Media Organizations Operating in the Country

The State Duma, or lower house in Russian parliament, ordered an “audit” of Radio Liberty, the Voice of America, CNN, and other U.S. media to see if they are breaking any of the nation’s laws, USA Today reported.

The decision was reportedly made in retaliation against a bill introduced by Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) earlier this week that would allow the Department of Justice to use more tools to investigate state-owned Russian media outlet RT America for potential violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA).

“We have good reason to believe that RT News is coordinating with the Russian government to spread misinformation and undermine our democratic process,” said Shaheen in a press release. “The American public has a right to know if this is the case. RT News has made public statements boasting that it can dodge our laws with shell corporations, and it’s time for the Department of Justice to investigate.”

Maria Zakharova, spokesperson for the the Russian Foreign Ministry, criticized Shaheen’s bill, saying that the senator should have also drawn up a list of books for burning, Reuters reports.

Margarita Simonyan, RT’s editor-in-chief, told the Russian newspaper Izvestia that the legislative action to investigate the state-owned news outlet was akin to Sen. Joseph McCarthy’s campaign against communism in the 1950s.

The Russian parliament’s decision came just two days after U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley told NBC News that the Russian government cannot be trusted.

“We cannot trust Russia,” Haley said on Wednesday. “We should never trust Russia.”

Haley made those comments shortly after the Department of Justice charged two Russian spies for allegedly hacking into and stealing data from more than 500 million Yahoo users.

Key Democratic Officials Now Warning Base Not to Expect Evidence of Trump/Russia Collusion

FROM MSNBC POLITICS shows to town hall meetings across the country, the overarching issue for the Democratic Party’s base since Trump’s victory has been Russia, often suffocating attention for other issues. This fixation has persisted even though it has no chance to sink the Trump presidency unless it is proven that high levels of the Trump campaign actively colluded with the Kremlin to manipulate the outcome of the U.S. election — a claim for which absolutely no evidence has thus far been presented.

The principal problem for Democrats is that so many media figures and online charlatans are personally benefiting from feeding the base increasingly unhinged, fact-free conspiracies — just as right-wing media polemicists did after both Bill Clinton and Obama were elected — that there are now millions of partisan soldiers absolutely convinced of a Trump/Russia conspiracy for which, at least as of now, there is no evidence. And they are all waiting for the day, which they regard as inevitable and imminent, when this theory will be proven and Trump will be removed.

Key Democratic officials are clearly worried about the expectations that have been purposely stoked and are now trying to tamp them down. Many of them have tried to signal that the beliefs the base has been led to adopt have no basis in reason or evidence.

The latest official to throw cold water on the MSNBC-led circus is President Obama’s former acting CIA chief Michael Morell. What makes him particularly notable in this context is that Morell was one of Clinton’s most vocal CIA surrogates. In August, he not only endorsed Clinton in the pages of the New York Times but also became the first high official to explicitly accuse Trump of disloyalty, claiming, “In the intelligence business, we would say that Mr. Putin had recruited Mr. Trump as an unwitting agent of the Russian Federation.”

But on Wednesday night, Morell appeared at an intelligence community forum to “cast doubt” on “allegations that members of the Trump campaign colluded with Russia.” “On the question of the Trump campaign conspiring with the Russians here, there is smoke, but there is no fire at all,” he said, adding, “There’s no little campfire, there’s no little candle, there’s no spark. And there’s a lot of people looking for it.”

Obama’s former CIA chief also cast serious doubt on the credibility of the infamous, explosive “dossier” originally published by BuzzFeed, saying that its author, Christopher Steele, paid intermediaries to talk to the sources for it. The dossier, he said, “doesn’t take you anywhere, I don’t think.”

Morell’s comments echo the categorical remarks by Obama’s top national security official, James Clapper, who told Meet the Press last week that during the time he was Obama’s DNI, he saw no evidence to support claims of a Trump/Russia conspiracy. “We had no evidence of such collusion,” Clapper stated unequivocally. Unlike Morell, who left his official CIA position in 2013 but remains very integrated into the intelligence community, Clapper was Obama’s DNI until just seven weeks ago, leaving on January 20.

Perhaps most revealing of all are the Democrats on the Senate Intelligence Committee — charged with investigating these matters — who recently told BuzzFeed how petrified they are of what the Democratic base will do if they do not find evidence of collusion, as they now suspect will likely be the case. “There’s a tangible frustration over what one official called ‘wildly inflated’ expectations surrounding the panel’s fledgling investigation,” BuzzFeed’s Ali Watkins wrote.

Moreover, “several committee sources grudgingly say, it feels as though the investigation will be seen as a sham if the Senate doesn’t find a silver bullet connecting Trump and Russian intelligence operatives.” One member told Watkins: “I don’t think the conclusions are going to meet people’s expectations.”

What makes all of this most significant is that officials like Clapper and Morell are trained disinformation agents; Clapper in particular has proven he will lie to advance his interests. Yet even with all the incentive to do so, they are refusing to claim there is evidence of such collusion; in fact, they are expressly urging people to stop thinking it exists. As even the law recognizes, statements that otherwise lack credibility become more believable when they are ones made “against interest.”

Media figures have similarly begun trying to tamp down expectations. Ben Smith, the editor-in-chief of BuzzFeed, which published the Steele dossier, published an article yesterday warning that the Democratic base’s expectation of a smoking gun “is so strong that Twitter and cable news are full of the theories of what my colleague Charlie Warzel calls the Blue Detectives — the left’s new version of Glenn Beck, digital blackboards full of lines and arrows.” Smith added: “It is also a simple fact that while news of Russian actions on Trump’s behalf is clear, hard details of coordination between his aides and Putin’s haven’t emerged.” And Smith’s core warning is this:

Trump’s critics last year were horrified at the rise of “fake news” and the specter of a politics shaped by alternative facts, predominantly on the right. They need to be careful now not to succumb to the same delusional temptations as their political adversaries, and not to sink into a filter bubble which, after all, draws its strength not from conservative or progressive politics but from human nature.

And those of us covering the story and the stew of real information, fantasy, and — now — forgery around it need to continue to report and think clearly about what we know and what we don’t, and to resist the sugar high that comes with telling people exactly what they want to hear.

For so long, Democrats demonized and smeared anyone trying to inject basic reason, rationality, and skepticism into this Trump/Russia discourse by labeling them all Kremlin agents and Putin lovers. Just this week, the Center for American Progress released a report using the language of treason to announce the existence of a “Fifth Column” in the U.S. that serves Russia (similar to Andrew Sullivan’s notorious 2001 decree that anyone opposing the war on terror composed an anti-American “Fifth Column”), while John McCain listened to Rand Paul express doubts about the wisdom of NATO further expanding to include Montenegro and then promptly announced: “Paul is working for Vladimir Putin.”

But with serious doubts — and fears — now emerging about what the Democratic base has been led to believe by self-interested carnival barkers and partisan hacks, there is a sudden, concerted effort to rein in the excesses of this story. With so many people now doing this, it will be increasingly difficult to smear them all as traitors and Russian loyalists, but it may be far too little, too late, given the pitched hysteria that has been deliberately cultivated around these issues for months. Many Democrats have reached the classic stage of deranged conspiracists where evidence that disproves the theory is viewed as further proof of its existence, and those pointing to it are instantly deemed suspect.

A formal, credible investigation into all these questions, where the evidence is publicly disclosed, is still urgently needed. That’s true primarily so that conspiracies no longer linger and these questions are resolved by facts rather than agenda-driven anonymous leaks from the CIA and cable news hosts required to feed a partisan mob.

It’s certainly possible to envision an indictment of a low-level operative like Carter Page, or the prosecution of someone like Paul Manafort on matters unrelated to hacking, but the silver bullet that Democrats have been led to expect will sink Trump appears further away than ever.

But given the way these Russia conspiracies have drowned out other critical issues being virtually ignored under the Trump presidency, it’s vital that everything be done now to make clear what is based in evidence and what is based in partisan delusions. And most of what the Democratic base has been fed for the last six months by their unhinged stable of media, online, and party leaders has decisively fallen into the latter category, as even their own officials are now desperately trying to warn.

ASSOCIATED PRESS URGES REPORTERS NOT TO MENTION EXISTENCE OF GENDER
No gender please, we're leftists.


Alternative facts? This is a whole alternative reality. Not to mention alternative biology.

In a Friday email to subscribers listing updated entries for its style manual, the Associated Press is urging journalists to avoid making references in news stories that suggest there are only two sexes in the human race.

“Not all people fall under one of two categories for sex or gender, according to leading medical organizations, so avoid references to both, either or opposite sexes or genders as a way to encompass all people. When needed for clarity or in certain stories about scientific studies, alternatives include men and women, boys and girls, males and females.”

The Stylebook issued further guidance for use of pronouns under an entry named “they, them, their.” Those third-person plural pronouns are preferred by some transgender or gender fluid individuals who say they are not comfortable with traditional male or female personal pronouns.

Ladies and gentlemen, the Associated Press has decided to unrecognize the existence of gender. Because gender is now politically incorrect. What might have been parody once is now just the media in the death grip of an insane left.

No gender please, we're leftists.

One morning we'll wake up to the left insisting that the sun revolves around the earth because it's the source of all social justice. And the media will scurry to insist that it's settled science.

The Patriots Blast The New York Times For Misleading White House Photo

The New York Times posted a side by side picture of the New England Patriots’ visit today to the White House versus their visit in 2015 for Obama.

They were trying to make it look like Trump had no support because there were less people in the picture and miserably failed. The best part? The Patriots actually called them out for fake news!

Here’s the misleading picture that the New York Times posted today, attempting to make Trump look like he had no support.

Mainstream Media Propaganda, from Khalidi Tape to 'Nut Job'

Friday’s supposed “bombshell” stories follow the same pattern. The Times reports that Trump told the visiting Russians that former FBI director James Comey was a “nut job,” and that firing him had eased “pressure” in his ability to conduct foreign policy — though the Times takes Trump to mean the legal pressure of the investigation. (That spin makes no sense: firing Comey created more pressure, which was so obvious the Russians joked about it.)

The Times describes its source as “a document summarizing the meeting” that was “circulated” (it does not say by whom). The Times does not have the document. An “American official” simply “read quotations” to the Times.

The Post‘s story, which reports that the probe into potential ties between Russia and the Trump campaign has reached “someone close to the president,” cites “people familiar with the matter.” That does not prove the story is untrue, but the sources are so flimsy that there is no way to have confidence in what the Post calls its “revelation.”

Earlier this week, the Post reported that House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) told a meeting of fellow House Republican leaders: “I think Putin pays [Trump].” According to those present, the remark was a joke. The Post‘s source was an audio recording of the conversation which it did not have in its actual possession, and which it refuses to share with the public so that people can judge for themselves. The Post did publish a transcript, which it does not appear to have produced itself. The transcript actually supports the claim that McCarthy was joking. The Post‘s reporter has insisted that McCarthy meant his remark to be taken seriously, but refuses to provide the audio.

And the day before that, the Times published the now-infamous story that Trump had “asked” Comey to end the investigation into former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn. The source was purportedly a memorandum that Comey wrote about his recollection of a conversation with Trump. But the Times did not share the memo, and never even saw the document. It merely relied on a Comey “associate” who “read parts of it to a Times reporter.”

These four stories, taken together, are said by the mainstream media to build a powerful case that Trump committed obstruction of justice and may soon face impeachment. But every piece of evidence could be made up or distorted, and there would be no way to know. In the “nut job” case, the White House has not disputed that Trump made the comment, but it may not be able to explain the context, because doing so would mean releasing more details of a classified conversation that touched on “highly classified” national security matters (as the Post reported on Monday.)

In their effort to impugn Trump, the Times and the Post violate the most basic journalistic standards. Publishing parts of a document that you do not possess and cannot verify, and timing the release to cause maximum political damage (right after the president leaves the country), is not investigative journalism. It is political propaganda.

It is the mirror image of what the Los Angeles Times did in April 2008, when it published a story referring to a speech then-State Senator Barack Obama gave at a farewell celebration for radical Palestinian-American academic Rashid Khalidi in 2003. The Times was given a video of the speech, but refused to publish the video. Instead, it offered a mere summary, raising suspicions that the Times had sanitized the event to protect Obama’s presidential campaign.

The pattern is the same, from the Khalidi tape to the “nut job” story. For the elite mainstream media, when it comes to protecting Democrats or attacking Republicans, there are no journalistic standards, no ethics, and no shame.

FAKE NEWS: CNN Pushes The Outrageous Claim That Islam Helped To Create The United States
While Muslims were present at America’s founding, Islam — as a coherent, self-conscious religious and political civilization — was not. Had it been present, one would have expected the Founding Fathers to be more aware of it, and one would have expected to see an American version of the faith emerge, one more comfortable with ideas of tolerance and individual liberty, much as different reformist versions of Judaism flourished in the United States.

5/29/17

CNN’s W. Kamau Bell devoted a recent episode of his series United Shades of America to exploring Muslim and Arab communities.

Aside from some interesting vignettes, the program is left-wing, anti-Trump propaganda that firmly establishes the network’s political bias. Bell also serves up some historical distortions of the sort spoonfed to undergraduates on politically-correct campuses, such as the claim that Islam has always been present in the U.S.

“Islam has always been part of the American fabric,” one Muslim man in Detroit tells Bell at an anti-Trump event. “A lot of people think that Islam is from a foreign country, or is a foreign religion. It’s not — it’s very American.” He goes on to criticize “those more violent voices in our society” — and he does not mean radical Islamists. Bell is so impressed that he asks the man, “When are you running for mayor?”, comparing him to a “young Barack Obama.”

It was Obama who told the Muslim world in his Cairo speech in 2009: “Islam has always been a part of America’s story.” He offered a dubious proof: “The first nation to recognize my country was Morocco.” He also cited the Treaty of Tripoli, which was essentially an agreement to pay a bribe to Muslim pirates who had made a practice of kidnapping Americans.
For CNN, the argument that Islam has “always” been present in the U.S. rests largely on the claim that a significant minority of black slaves were Muslim.

On Saturday, CNN correspondent Dean Obeidallah claimed that “Islam has been here since the time of slavery, because ten to fifteen percent of the African slaves brought were Muslim. So Islam was here before the creation of the United States. It was actually part of the creation of the United States of America.” Bell’s interviewee raises the estimate, claiming that “during the slave trade, up to about 25 to 30% of the slaves came from areas where there were predominantly Muslim populations.”(Note that these claims leave out the role of Muslims in the slave trade itself, casting Muslims purely as victims.)
This is what our founding fathers actually thought about Islam:

There is some basis for some of the claims CNN cites. As Daniel Pipes noted in 2000, “Muslims constituted a significant percentage of the Africans brought to the Americas in servitude; and that, as the most educated and resistant of the captive peoples, they exerted a disproportionate influence on slave life in the Americas.” But the faith did not survive among these populations; few of their descendants knew their forefathers’ Muslim origins.

While Muslims were present at America’s founding, Islam — as a coherent, self-conscious religious and political civilization — was not. Had it been present, one would have expected the Founding Fathers to be more aware of it, and one would have expected to see an American version of the faith emerge, one more comfortable with ideas of tolerance and individual liberty, much as different reformist versions of Judaism flourished in the United States.

To the extent that Islam was a part of early American history, it was a negative force, an external enemy.

The predations of the Barbary pirates prompted the U.S. to build a world-class navy and deploy the fledgling Marines. As Brian Kilmeade and Don Yaeger recall in Thomas Jefferson and the Tripoli Pirates: The Forgotten War That Changed American History, Jefferson was shocked when, at a meeting in London with the Tripolitan ambassador and John Adams in 1786, the Muslim envoy declared that American Christians were fair game for piracy: “… all nations which had not acknowledged the Prophet were sinners, whom it was the right and duty of faithful persons to plunder and enslave.”

There are echoes of that Islamic supremacism in the public statements of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), whom Bell interviews jovially on CNN. After the San Bernardino terror attack in December 2015, CAIR not only ensured an Islamic burial for the terrorists and represented their family in court, but blamed the murder of 14 Americans and the wounding of 22 more at a Christmas party on U.S. foreign policy.

    CAIR has been declared a terrorist organization by the United Arab Emirates, and was named by federal prosecutors as an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror-funding operation — none of which Bell mentions.

Bell offers one additional argument to defend the idea that Islam is intrinsically American: “America has always had heroes who were Muslims.” He cites Muhammad Ali, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Malcolm X — none of whom were active in public life before the 1960s. Amazingly, he also praises the Nation of Islam and its leader, Louis Farrakhan. Bell cites Farrakhan’s “Million Man March” — and ignores his vicious racism and antisemitism.
Brigitte Gabriel Reads the Muslim Brotherhood Plan for America:

CNN’s effort at historical revisionism is not just aimed at encouraging Americans to adopt more tolerant attitudes toward Muslims, but to discourage awareness or criticism of aspects of contemporary Islamic political thought that clash with liberal democratic principles and that, in extremis, pose an active terrorist threat.

Islam need not be seen as a foreign presence. But to claim that it predates, or was part of, the Founding, is fake history and “fake news.”

Americans are certainly tolerant enough to accept law-abiding and tolerant Muslim communities into the fabric of American social and political life without being taught lies about the role Islam played in our history, or being made to feel that Islam’s claims on this country precede almost anyone else’s. source

MSNBC Anchor Asks If Trump Trying To Provoke Terror Attack

MSNBC anchor Thomas Roberts theorized on Sunday that President Trump is trying to provoke a terrorist attack on U.S. soil in order to “prove himself right” about Islamic terrorism.

Roberts floated the theory during two separate interviews, one with Atlanta mayor Kasim Reed and another with former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean.

Roberts pointed to Trump’s tweets early Sunday in the wake of a terrorist attack that left at least seven dead in London.

Trump wrote that “we must stop being politically correct and get down to the business of security for our people.” He also criticized London’s mayor, Sadiq Khan, who said that there was “no reason to be alarmed” following the attacks.

“The president doesn’t want us to be politically correct, right? So let’s not be PC about this. Is the president trying to provoke a domestic terrorist attack with this Twitter rant, because only to prove himself right?” Roberts asked Reed during an interview.


Reed dodged the question.

But Roberts pushed his theory again, in an interview several minutes later with Dean.

“I asked this of Mayor Reed, but it seems like the president is trying to provoke something that he can politicize more for his own gain in America. Do you feel that way?” Roberts asked.

Even Dean, never one to shy away from making bombastic claims on television, appeared not to buy Roberts’ theory.

He laughed nervously and avoided Roberts’ query.

“Well, I think he’s totally incompetent,” he responded.

'Sad CNN' Meme Storms the Internet as Karen Handel Wins Georgia Special Election

As the election results showed Republican Karen Handel soundly beating her opponent Jon Ossoff in the special election in Georgia, CNN analysts appeared disappointed by the results before anchor Anderson Cooper cut to a break.

TFW Your Candidate Gets His Ossoff Handeled – wrote Reddit user Colonel_Falhma on The_Donald subreddit, highlighting their “SALTY TEARS” and a screenshot of the CNN moment.

(http://media.breitbart.com/media/2017/06/Screen-Shot-2017-06-21-at-10.39.59-AM-1024x662.png)

Although CNN hadn’t called the race for Handel yet, it was clear the Democrats’ candidate had lost.

Right before the moment, CNN’s Chief Political Correspondent Dana Bash pointed out that the district was one where Democrats should have been more competitive after Mitt Romney won by double digits and President Donald Trump won it by just over one percentage point.

t is wealthy, it is educated and the kind of voters that are in this district were supposed to be the kind that Democrats could pick off from the Republican,” she said, pointing out that Democrats had failed again.

Anchor Anderson Cooper moved into a break, but not before the cameras focused on the panel — executive editor for CNN Politics Mark Preston, CNN’s chief political analyst Gloria Borger, David Chalian, CNN’s Political Director, and Bash.

The image was widely shared by Trump supporters, including some White House staff.

“Hey @CNN its like your constant conspiracy theories and hatred towards the President actually doesn’t make a difference,” wrote Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk in a Twitter message that was retweeted by Donald Trump Jr.

The #FAKENEWS seems unhappy tonight, wrote Dr. Sebastian Gorka, Deputy Assistant to the President on Twitter:

It's Over!! Megyn Kelly Is Finished!!

According to a new report, Megyn Kelly's ratings have dropped no for the fourth straight week on NBC.

The Hill reported: Megyn Kelly's Sunday night newsmagazine show’s ratings dropped for a fourth consecutive week since debuting earlier this month on NBC, according to Nielsen Media Research.

The latest episode of "Sunday Night with Megyn Kelly" averaged 3.4 million viewers and an 0.4 rating in the key 18- to 49-year-old demographic that advertisers covet most.

Those numbers are down from a 0.5 demographic rating and 3.6 million viewers a week earlier for Kelly's controversial interview with InfoWars founder and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.

Kelly's June 4 debut on NBC, which featured an interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin, averaged 6.2 million viewers and an 0.8 rating in the demographic.

Overall, Kelly's week 4 came third behind a repeat of CBS's "60 Minutes," which delivered 7.1 million viewers and an 0.7 demographic rating, and a repeat of ABC's "America's Funniest Home Videos," which brought in 3.9 million viewers and a 0.7 demographic rating.

The former attorney-turned-cable-news-star left Fox in January after 13 years at the channel for a reported $17 million per year at NBC.

Fox had offered a reported $25 million annually.

Kelly will debut a second program on NBC in the fall starting at 9 a.m. ET.

Fake News CNN Hits New Low By Using Sesame Street’s Elmo To Attack President Trump’s Travel Ban
Elmo was part of a panel including CNN reporter Clarissa Ward, Sherrie Westin from Sesame Workshop, and David Miliband from the International Rescue Committee. “Did you find that the Syrian little girls and little boys were a lot like your friends here in America?” Ward asked Elmo.

6/28/17

Popular “Sesame Street” character Elmo sympathized with refugee kids in an interview Monday with CNN, remarking that they are just like kids in America.

EDITOR’S NOTE: A favorite tactic of all Socialists, Communists and other types of Liberals is the indoctrination of children to produce a generation of followers who will be sympathetic to the cause. Hitler found great success doing this with his Hitler Youth Brigades in Nazi Germany. CNN has teamed up with Sesame Street to use Elmo as their “spokesperson” to attack President Trump’s travel ban and to advance the unvetted Muslim migrant agenda.

Elmo was part of a panel including CNN reporter Clarissa Ward, Sherrie Westin from Sesame Workshop, and David Miliband from the International Rescue Committee.

“Did you find that the Syrian little girls and little boys were a lot like your friends here in America?” Ward asked Elmo.

“Yeah, they really were,” said the “Sesame Street” character. “It was very interesting because they like to play and learn just like Elmo and all of his friends at Sesame Street.”

“Sesame Street could be a real lifeline for kids who frankly suffer the most unspeakable trauma as a result of war,” said Miliband. “I think it’s very important that we try and use every conceivable method to give these kids a chance.”

“Our vision is that every child should have a friend on Sesame Street….Who better than Elmo and his friends to give kids a sense there is a humanity out there?”

Westin added that reaching children early was significant and that Sesame Street was well-positioned to do so.

“Elmo thinks it’s important to know that everybody is the same deep down and that’s very important,” said the Sesame Street character. source

Telecom Giant AT&T Will ‘Neutralize Jeff Zucker’ After $85 Billion CNN Merger Due To Ongoing Fake News Stories
The $85 billion acquisition of CNN parent Time Warner by AT&T could win antitrust approval by the Justice Department in the next 60 days, sources said. “There was early talk about the way Zucker managed that wasn’t a good fit for the new organization,” one source said. “They were eyeing ways to neutralize him.”

6/29/17

AT&T will look to “neutralize” CNN President Jeff Zucker after it buys Time Warner, The Post has learned.

EDITOR’S NOTE: CNN President Jeff Zucker has given the network its biggest first quarter rating ever, but he did it by peddling and promoting fake new stories like the phony Trump-Russia collusion story. With the release of videos from Project Veritas catching on tape CNN producers admitting the Russia story is false, it is time for Zucker to pay the piper.

The buzz from the telecommunications giant comes as CNN is being slammed for highly publicized missteps — including botched reports tied to the federal probe of possible collusion between President Trump’s campaign and Russia, according to three sources familiar with the thinking of AT&T brass.

The missteps, which also include a profane anti-Trump tweet by Reza Aslan, a CNN host, have made CNN too polarizing an asset for execs at the blue chip company, a source said. Aslan saw his CNN show, “Believer,” get canceled in the wake of the tweet.
CNN employees caught on tape admitting Trump-Russia story is fake news:

Watch Van Jones, who slams Trump 24 hours a day on CNN, casually admit the Russia story is absolutely not true.

The $85 billion acquisition of CNN parent Time Warner by AT&T could win antitrust approval by the Justice Department in the next 60 days, sources said. “There was early talk about the way Zucker managed that wasn’t a good fit for the new organization,” one source said. “They were eyeing ways to neutralize him.”

That desire leaves Zucker facing an uncertain future that includes the possibility of getting unceremoniously dumped, one source said.
Other potential scenarios include AT&T kicking the 52-year-old executive upstairs with a corporate title that strips him of any power over CNN — or a sale of the network that would let AT&T wash its hands of any future messes.

“The news business doesn’t seem to be central to AT&T’s content strategy,” said Craig Moffett, a co-founder of independent media research firm MoffettNathanson. “They seem much more interested in the entertainment brands. If selling CNN would make regulators happy, they’ll sell it. I can’t imagine AT&T would let CNN stand in the way of securing approval for the merger.”

Zucker could also cash out his significant holdings of Time Warner stock and walk away from the network filthy rich, media execs said. AT&T, when asked Wednesday about Zucker’s future at CNN, seemed to dodge the question.

CNN Is Dead: Network Loses All Credibility As Producer Admits That The Entire Russia Narrative Is Fake News

Nobody else needs to dig a grave for CNN because they are doing it themselves.  There has been scandal after scandal at the network, and now one of their producers has been caught on undercover video admitting that CNN has been pushing fake news stories about a connection between Donald Trump and Russia in a desperate attempt to get ratings.  In other words, CNN’s entire Russia narrative has been a complete lie all along.  Unfortunately for CNN, they are going to discover that once your credibility is gone it is incredibly difficult to ever get it back.

On Tuesday, Project Veritas made headlines all over the world when it released undercover video of CNN Producer John Bonifield admitting that CNN’s Russia narrative is fake news.  If you haven’t seen it yet, you can view the entire video right here.  Now that this video has been made public, I don’t see how CNN is ever going to recover from this.  When one of your top producers admits that the story you have been pushing for months is basically a load of cow manure, it is impossible to maintain the pretense that you are a legitimate news organization any longer…

    Project Veritas has released a video of CNN Producer John Bonifield who was caught on hidden-camera admitting that there is no proof to CNN’s Russia narrative.

    “I mean, it’s mostly bullshit right now,” Bonifield says. “Like, we don’t have any giant proof.”

    He confirms that the driving factor at CNN is ratings:

    “It’s a business, people are like the media has an ethical phssssss… All the nice cutesy little ethics that used to get talked about in journalism school you’re just like, that’s adorable. That’s adorable. This is a business.”

And of course this comes on the heels of three reporters being forced out of CNN for publishing a false story that attempted to link a Russian investment fund with Trump…

    Three CNN employees have handed in their resignations over a retracted story linking President Trump to Russia, the network announced Monday.

    The article was removed from CNN.com on Friday after the network decided it could no longer stand by its reporting.

    “In the aftermath of the retraction of a story published on CNN.com, CNN has accepted the resignation of the employees involved in the story’s publication,” a network spokesperson told TheWrap in a statement.

President Trump has taken a lot of heat for referring to CNN as “fake news”, but after the events of the past several days he has been completely vindicated.

And once news broke of three reporters being forced out of the network for a false story about Russia, he took a bit of a victory lap with this tweet…

    Wow, CNN had to retract big story on “Russia,” with 3 employees forced to resign. What about all the other phony stories they do? FAKE NEWS!

This is such a shame, because I always liked CNN’s election coverage compared to the other networks.  John King always did such a great job breaking things down county by county, and Wolf Blitzer always made things seem so dramatic.

But now it is exceedingly difficult to see any sort of a future for the network after all of this.

And of course other major news outlets have been guilty of pushing fake news about Russia too.  The following comes from the Intercept…

    Over and over, major U.S. media outlets have published claims about the Russia Threat that turned out to be completely false — always in the direction of exaggerating the threat and/or inventing incriminating links between Moscow and the Trump circle. In virtually all cases, those stories involved evidence-free assertions from anonymous sources that these media outlets uncritically treated as fact, only for it to be revealed that they were entirely false.

But with CNN it has always been on another level, and we now have a top insider on tape admitting that a connection between Trump and Russia is being pushed even though there isn’t any evidence.  In fact, Bonifield says that CNN CEO Jeff Zucker has been personally pushing this angle himself…

    “Just to give you some context, President Trump pulled out of the climate accords and for a day and a half we covered the climate accords. And the CEO of CNN (Jeff Zucker) said in our internal meeting, he said good job everybody covering the climate accords, but we’re done with that, let’s get back to Russia.”

I can’t imagine that Zucker gets to keep his job now that this has been revealed.

It may not happen immediately, but look for him to be shown the door in the not too distant future.

All along, Trump has insisted that this whole thing with Russia has been a “witch hunt”, and that is what I have been saying too.  And it turns out that Bonifield feels the exact same way…

    “I just feel like they don’t really have it but they want to keep digging. And so I think the President is probably right to say, like, look you are witch hunting me. You have no smoking gun, you have no real proof.”

If this doesn’t kill “the Russia story”, I don’t know what will.

This whole thing has been a massive charade from the very beginning, and the big news networks have been endlessly pushing it for ratings.

In their zeal to destroy Trump, they have “jumped the shark” and have destroyed their own credibility instead.

Once upon a time, most mainstream journalists at least attempted to pretend that they were being objective, but those days are long gone.

Today, it is absolutely imperative for all of us to understand that everyone has an agenda.  In other words, every single person that you see on television is trying to get a message across.  So instead of taking in news and entertainment passively, we need to have our filters up and we need to be thinking for ourselves.

Fortunately, episodes such as this one tend to awaken a lot of people, and more Americans than ever are sick and tired of the lies and misinformation that they are constantly being fed.

CNN Blackmails Trump Wrestling GIF Creator, Then Gloats About it On Air

https://youtu.be/pDArM4Da36E

CNN went to great lengths to unearth the identity of anonymous Reddit user, HannAssholeSolo, for creating a joke GIF of Donald Trump beating up a CNN logo that was tweeted by the president himself. Because of CNN’s hourly anti-Trump agenda, the network set off its sleuths to get the man’s identity and threaten to out him if he did not apologize. His apology was swift and CNN is loving every minute of his grief.

On Wednesday’s New Day, co-anchor Alisyn Camerota said what the network had done was “remarkable” and that the subsequent, and forced, apology was “remarkable.” Here are her remarks:

    “Something remarkable, I thought, happened yesterday. I thought it was remarkable that CNN found the Reddit user who created the gif of Donald Trump and the wrestling video and where he punches CNN. So the investigative team went back and found the guy who first created this, who took credit for it—and then here comes the remarkable part: he apologized. He apologized for having done this…

    “The reason that I think this is so notable, Chris Cillizza, is because this is a very full-throated, I think, genuine, honest apology. He has also asked that we not reveal his name or whereabouts and we at CNN are honoring that because he’s apologized and he thinks that he would then be in danger and at risk if other people knew his name. We get it. We understand that. So I don’t know, I just think that this is just a very interesting addendum to this whole story."

CNN has stated that it will not publish the man’s name “because he is a private citizen who has issued an extensive statement of apology, showed his remorse by saying he has taken down all his offending posts, and because he said he is not going to repeat this ugly behavior on social media again,” but added, “CNN reserves the right to publish his identity should any of that change.”

Fellow New Day co-anchor Chris Cuomo didn’t see through Camerota’s rose-colored glasses and said the man only apologized after he was “exposed and identified.” But Camerota said that was “good enough” and added, “I just see this as a possible glimmer of hope.”

It's not hope when a major news network threatens to out private citizens for making online jokes aimed at them.

This is too much!! HA HA HA HA HA   :D ;D

OMG! CNN Targeted WRONG PERSON – POTUS Trump Took Wrestling Video from DIFFERENT USER!

Multi-billion dollar corporation CNN is Extorting a Private Citizen over a Joke Tweet!

CNN reported Tuesday that they declined to publicly identify the Reddit user who created the Trump CNN wrestling video because he promised not to do it again.

CNN reporter Andrew Kaczynski then went on to say, “CNN reserves the right to publish his identity should any of that change.”

That is extortion.
They threatened to dox him.

It turns out that CNN has targeted the wrong person! Analysis of the video shows evidence that the wrestling video President Trump posted to his Twitter account did not originate from this particular Reddit user.

The Daily Wire reports:

    The meme Trump tweeted wasn’t generated by HanA**holeSolo. CNN shot first.

    According to BuzzFeed, “one user pointed out that what Trump tweeted wasn’t actually HanA**holeSolo’s GIF.” Trump’s gif included both video and audio – whereas the Rebel smuggler wannabe’s gif did not include audio. Furthermore, the original HanA**holeSolo gif “was shorter, had a different aspect ratio, and had a WWE logo in the corner…Not even the colors are processed in the same manner… HanAssholeSolo’s GIF has an NTSC aspect ratio, because it was cut directly from a taping of analog Westlemania footage. Trump’s video has an aspect ratio of 16:9.”

    BuzzFeed continues:

    Someone downloaded the GIF that HanAssholeSolo originally posted to Reddit. Then that person cropped it to better fit a video player like Facebook or YouTube. Then they went through the effort of syncing it back up with audio from the original clip. Then that person put it somewhere where Trump or one of Trump’s people could see it and download it. Then whoever found the video version had to get it to Trump’s phone.

Per CNN, a senior Trump administration official said that the video was not pulled from Reddit. Well, it looks like once again President Trump is telling the truth while Fraud News Network CNN gets caught posting FAKE NEWS!

    On Monday, a senior administration official told CNN that the video was not pulled from Reddit. The White House still has not responded to a series of questions from CNN asking how the video ended up as a tweet from the President.

CNN's Acosta slammed for saying Trump held 'fake news conference'
5-7 minutes

CNN reporter Jim Acosta took heat Thursday from conservatives on Twitter after the combative correspondent accused President Trump of holding a “fake news conference” -- and later spewed some "fake news" of his own when he claimed Trump misstated the number of intelligence agencies that concluded Russia meddled in the presidential election.

During a joint news conference with President Andrzej Duda in Poland, Trump took questions from reporters from The Daily Mail and MSNBC. But that apparently wasn’t good enough for Acosta, who’s no stranger to sparring with Trump and White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer.

“Trump finally held a news conference overseas. But he took a question from a friendly reporter and then attacked CNN as ‘fake news,’” Acosta tweeted, adding: “Isn’t it a ‘fake news conference’ to take a question from a reporter who is essentially an ally of the White House?”

Acosta apparently was referring to The Daily Mail's U.S. political editor David Martosko, who was considered last month for a gig in Trump’s communications department but pulled out of consideration.

But right-leaning social media watchers quickly blasted Acosta’s snarky messages, noting the Obama administration enjoyed no shortage of reporter-aide crossovers and suggesting former President Barack Obama and his team routinely called on friendly journalists.

“So by that logic, was every news conference for the last 8 years #fakenews Jim?” Donald Trump Jr. wrote.

Ex-Bush White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer added: “Jim – care to guess how many questions I took from reporters who went on to join the Obama WH??”

Conservative radio host Steve Deace picked up on the thread: “Jim, over two dozen ‘journalists’ went to work in the Obama WH, including the former WH spokesman.”

An Atlantic article from 2013 noted Time managing editor Rick Stengel was “at least the 24th journalist to work for the Obama Administration.” Former Obama White House Press Secretary Jay Carney also had worked for Time as its Washington Bureau Chief, which Deace alluded to. Others defected from outlets such as Politico, The Washington Post, National Journal and the Chicago Tribune to take roles under Obama.

Aside from the Twitter battles, Acosta also ran into some trouble on air Thursday.

While on CNN’s “New Day” after Trump’s joint press conference, Acosta repeated the “fake news” line – a phrase Trump often uses when he refers to CNN, including on Thursday – to describe an answer Trump gave to a question about Russian meddling in the U.S. presidential election.

“The other thing that was ‘fake news’ coming from President Trump is when he said, ‘Well, I keep hearing it's 17 intelligence agencies that say Russia meddled in the election, I think it's only three or four,’” Acosta said. “Where does that number come from? Where does this ‘three or four’ number come from? My suspicion…is that if we go to the administration and ask them for this question, I'm not so sure we're going to get an answer.”

However, there is an answer.

The New York Times – and other outlets – had reported for months that “17 American intelligence agencies” agreed Russia orchestrated cyber-attacks before the election.

But The Times on June 28 issued a correction, noting “the assessment was made by four intelligence agencies – the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the Central Intelligence Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the National Security Agency.” The Times bluntly concluded: “The assessment was not approved by all 17 organizers in the American intelligence community.”

ESPN Ratings Take Huge Second Quarter Hit

 ESPN’s bound and determined quest to hit the bottom of the barrel passed another point of critical mass this week.

According to the Comeback, “ESPN declined 9 percent in prime time from 2016 (1.386 million vs. 1.526 million) and was the cabler’s least-watched second-quarter in four years.”

ESPN wasn’t the only cable sports network to take a big hit. TNT also suffered big time, losing seventeen percent of their viewership from this time last year.

It’s no coincidence that ESPN and TNT took big hits at the same time. Both networks carried the NBA playoffs this year, which registered a net nothing with viewers. Since the games were largely uncompetitive, and most everyone correctly assumed that the Cavaliers and the Warriors would eventually face off against each other.

However, this year’s ratings dive could prove to be a long-term disaster for these networks, especially ESPN. As Samuel Chi noted on this page months ago, ESPN has made their bed with the NBA. The Disney sports giant has committed $1.4 billion to the NBA for the better part of the next decade.

Compelling this year’s ratings nosedive is a lack of competition due to the formation of super teams such as Golden State. Golden State’s best player, Kevin Durant, recently agreed to an extremely team friendly contract which will allow the Warriors to not just retain his services, but also allow them to retain other stars and add additional pieces, prolonging Golden State’s dominance.

Should that happen, ESPN, a network already alienating half the country with their leftist politics will have thrown their weight in behind a league ever-increasing in its unlikeability, for lack of competition as well as its politics.

In that sense, ESPN and the NBA pretty much deserve each other

Smokescreen. The tv ratings have gone down b/c people can now access live stream coverage on the internet, and on their iphones.

Which means Golden State will likely come up short next year - seen this script many times. When EVERYONE expects these teams to win the big prize in the coming season, that's when they come up short. And Durant is going to be a free agent next year. (in today's era of pro sports, the typical teams have a high turnover rate every 3-4 years. 2 years from now, the Warriors will become an afterthought)

Yes, sporting events are rigged and scripted too.

Dollar Tree Closing All Stores?
Neither Dollar Tree, Family Dollar, nor Dollar General is closing all their stores, despite a widespread rumor on social media.


As screenshots and shares of the rumor spread, many conflated Dollar Tree with competitors Family Dollar or Dollar General, causing confusion about which chain of low-price retail stores was purportedly closing. Regardless, React365 is a prank generator that allows users to fabricate their own phony headlines for sharing on social media:

From Reuters:

(Reuters) - Former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Preet Bharara is joining CNN as a senior legal analyst, a CNN spokesman said on Thursday.

Bharara was fired as U.S. Attorney in March by President Donald Trump, after refusing to resign his post when asked to do so by U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Bharara joins CNN, a unit of Time Warner Inc (TWX.N), at a time when the cable network faces numerous accusations of being “fake news” from President Trump on Twitter.

CNN declined to give further details on Bharara joining the network.

Twitter Censors Pro-Life Groups Ads, Won’t Run Them Unless Its Web Site is Scrubbed of “Sensitive Content”
4-5 minutes

Live Action, the youth-centered pro-life organization known for its undercover investigations of Planned Parenthood, has accused Twitter of censoring its ads.

This spring, Live Action and founder Lila Rose said the social media site blocked their accounts’ ability to advertise. They still can send tweets to their followers, but the advertising block restricts them from reaching a wider audience.

Last week, lawyers for Rose and Live Action sent a letter asking Twitter to reinstate their ability to advertise on its site, the Washington Post reports.

According to Live Action, Twitter rejected several ads that exposed the Planned Parenthood abortion business and called for an end to its taxpayer funding. It also rejected an ad showing the photo of an unborn baby and the words, “I am not a potential human. I am a human with potential.”

Especially egregious about Twitter’s rejections were its requirements to accept future ads from Live Action. The pro-life group said the social media company wants Live Action to remove “sensitive content” from its own website, not just its Twitter page.

Such content includes the numerous undercover stings it has done of Planned Parenthood. Live Action has exposed the abortion chain for hiding sexual abuse, being willing to help sex traffickers, encouraging young teens to try sadomasochism and pornography, and more.

According to the report:

    In a May 18 email to Live Action, Twitter’s political and advocacy sales team told the organization that its ads violated Twitter’s sensitive advertising content policy, which prohibits “inflammatory or provocative content which is likely to evoke a strong negative reaction” as well as content that is shocking, disturbing or offensive.

    Twitter gave Live Action two choices to become eligible for advertising in the future: remove “sensitive content” from its website and Twitter feed, or create a Twitter handle linking to a new website without the offending content, according to the email exchanges provided by Live Action that The Washington Post has verified.

    Among the “sensitive content” Twitter objected to that would have to be wiped from Live Action’s website and Twitter feed: videos of the organization’s undercover investigations, images and videos of abortion procedures, a petition to defund Planned Parenthood, and fetal ultrasounds.

    Pete Slevin, one of the attorneys representing Live Action , characterized Twitter’s parameters for reinstating the organization’s ability to advertise as “unusual.”

    “It’s not just that Twitter is saying, as a practical matter, that we’re going to ‘regulate’ your Tweets, they’re also seeming to ‘regulate’ what Live Action is posting on its own website,” Slevin said.

According to the Post, Twitter’s advertising policy is much more strict than many other social media sites. The policy prohibits, among other things, “Inflammatory content which is likely to evoke a strong negative reaction or cause harm.”

Twitter, Google, Facebook and other online companies have faced heavy criticism for restricting ads, especially from pro-life and conservative groups. Many believe these media giants show a strong liberal bias.

In May, Facebook also shut down Right to Life of Michigan’s advertising account for “misleading ads.” After repeatedly asking for more details, the pro-life organization was told that Facebook simply was “unable to take further action regarding this matter.” The pro-life group believes the issue involved an ad about a Michigan abortionist whose license was suspended.

In 2016, United Airlines also was criticized for blocking Live Action’s website on its in-flight wifi; however, it allowed access to pro-abortion sites. Later, United Airlines said the block was a mistake and promised to remove it.

Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones ‘Big Lie’ Comes Out As Trump Shuts Him Down Over Taking A Knee

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones looked so smug as he led his entire team to center field during Monday night’s game in Arizona. He thought by “taking a knee,” he had found a way to bow down to the idiot leftists and to placate the majority of Americans, but instead, it backfired big time as his big lie came out. Jones’ smugness quickly turned to terror as President Donald Trump shut him down. The Dallas Cowboys have long been known as “America’s Team,” but that nickname was just thrown in the trash by their entitled owner Jerry Jones, who thought he had the perfect workaround to the “take a knee” controversy. In case you missed it, and many did as viewership to the NFL is steadily going down, Jones led the team to take a knee right before the national anthem in Arizona Monday night. If you are confused by Jones’ behavior, you probably fell prey to the big lie told by fake news sources which went viral on social media. The viral posts state Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones called a meeting to inform the Cowboys staff that they would be fired if they did not “stand with hand over heart and with respect” during the Star Spangled Banner. Yahoo News reports, “It was a perfect fake news frame up, featuring a splashy mythical quote from team owner Jerry Jones, supposedly threatening to fire any players who knelt for the national anthem.” So, that never happened. In fact, Jones was so upset by the fake story, he couldn’t wait to take a knee on Monday night “to promote the push for justice and equal rights.” “The Dallas Cowboys, together with team owner Jerry Jones, take a collective knee at the start of the Monday Night Football game to display their unity with… well, something probably. Stick a fork in the financial future of the NFL, it’s done; finished,” reported The Conservative Treehouse. The report goes on, “There is something profoundly hilarious in the face of team owner Jerry Jones looking so smug as if he’s figured out how to navigate this insufferable financial minefield. He didn’t. Now watch the slow-motion financial implosion… that smugly look will change quickly as he watches his organizational bank account drain. By Thanksgiving; you’ll see. Bigly.” Let’s be clear. Jerry Jones is a billionaire business owner. His bottom line is making money, which is no crime. But, what is a crime to many Americans is this nonsense of taking a knee. Just what in the heck are they protesting? If you go back to the beginning and that loser Colin Kaepernick, he was protesting a Hispanic cop who was later found not guilty on all counts in the shooting death of a black thug, Philando Castile. So, these idiots are taking a knee over a lie and they want Americans to join in. Making matters worse for Jerry Jones is what happened in Dallas during a Black Lives Matter protest as five cops were shot and killed by an Islamist. When his players wished to pay a silent tribute to the cops by wearing a decal on their helmet in memory of them, the NFL rejected that positive show of unity with the police. Just like ESPN, the NFL, including the owners, are a bunch of hypocrites. President Trump made it clear to Jones that he miscalculated, big time. The booing at the NFL football game last night, when the entire Dallas team dropped to its knees, was loudest I have ever heard. Great anger President Donald Trump was talking directly to Jerry Jones, who he knows personally. Taking a knee before the national anthem doesn’t make this farce any better. Americans aren’t idiots. Americans don’t like to be duped by the likes of Jerry Jones, who thought he was so brilliant by kneeling a minute before the anthem. What Jerry didn’t get is that everything about these so-called protests in the NFL is born out of the lies from Black Lives Matter, a terrorist organization. Jones gambled and lost; Americans won’t be fooled ever again by the **** radical leftists. Please share the story and tell us what you think by clicking one of the buttons below. We want to hear YOUR voice!

Mainstream Media Reporting On Twitter "Fake News" Exposed!

A recent analysis has claimed that Mainstream Media reporting on Twitter "fake news" is 100% false.

From The Daily Caller:

A number of establishment media outlets have sounded the alarm over “fake news” spreading in swing states in the month before the election, insinuating that Donald Trump’s win was a result of Russian misinformation efforts.

The only problem: A review of the report the media is relying on shows their conclusion is not accurate.

CNN reported that fake news on Twitter was higher in swing states. The report was accompanied by the chyron, “How ‘Fake News’ Spread During Election Week.”

The study CNN cited comes from the Oxford Internet Institute, titled, “Social Media, News and Political Information during the US Election: Was Polarizing Content Concentrated in Swing States?”

The study’s authors’ do not, however, label their study as necessarily being about “fake news.” Instead, the researchers use the term “junk news.”

The bulk of “Polarizing and Conspiracy Content” comes from so-called “junk news” websites, which makes up 79 percent of the content.

The study does, however, deliberately classify a number of websites as producing “junk news” that are relatively mainstream conservative news outlets — not “fake news.”

One of the study’s researchers with the Oxford Internet Institute told The Daily Caller via email that, “A couple of junk news sites we found to be frequently shared in the US were Infowars, Breitbart, The Washington Examiner, and truthfeed.com.”

Using the report’s findings to conclude “Twitter users in swing states got more fake news than real news in the days leading up to the 2016 presidential election,” as Newsweek did, is misleading.

Fake News Media Working Overtime To Push A Phony Narrative About Motive Of Las Vegas Shooter Stephen Paddock
So why are the media insistent that Paddock was getting rich by playing video poker? I don’t know what happened — and, apparently, neither do the cops — but it’s kind of odd that we keep being told things that aren’t true about the Las Vegas massacre, from the basic timeline to this weird insistence that Paddock made a good living at gambling.

10/12/17

Now the media are just taunting us with their tall tales about Stephen Paddock, the alleged Las Vegas shooter. Reputedly serious news organizations are claiming that he made a living playing video poker. That’s like claiming someone made a living smoking crack.

EDITOR’S NOTE: The mystery of exactly who Stephen Paddock was is straight out of the classic conspiracy handbook. No provable source of income, yet he had access to seemingly endless piles of money. A world traveller who loved visiting, of all places, the Middle East. Pulls off a highly-complicated mass shooting that, when examined on paper, is right in line with how ISIS plans attacks. And then there is the event itself. They say he was a “lone wolf”, yet a woman walked through the crowd warning people of danger. To  my mind, Stephen Paddock sounds just a like a black ops CIA agent who was killed by his other team members so they could have a fall guy to blame it on. One thing is for sure so far, though. Nothing coming from either the fake news media or the government is even remotely close to true. I’m actually waiting for the “warren report” to tell me about another “magic bullet”. That’s how much this whole thing stinks.

The media are either doing PR for the gambling industry or they don’t want anyone considering the possibility that Paddock was using gambling to launder money.

NBC News reports, with a straight face: “Las Vegas gunman earned millions as a gambler.” A Los Angeles Times article is headlined, “In the solitary world of video poker, Stephen Paddock knew how to win.” The story says that Paddock’s gambling “was at least a steady income over a period of years.”
I don’t know all the ins and outs of Paddock’s life, but that’s a lie.

How do reporters imagine casino owners make a living? Any ideas on how all those glorious lobbies, lights, pools, and fountains are paid for? How do they think Sheldon Adelson and Steve Wynn became billionaires if gambling is a winning proposition for people like Paddock — and therefore, by definition, a losing proposition for the casinos?

The media think about money the way Democrats do. They have absolutely no conception of where it originates. Those casino owners sure are generous! reporters think to themselves. Economist Thomas Sowell is always ridiculing journalists for not understanding basic economics. It turns out, they don’t understand the spreadsheet of a lemonade stand.

The New York Times explained that the “top” video poker machines pay out 99.17 percent. That’s great that Paddock was only losing cents on the dollar (if true), but it’s still losing. The Times quickly explained that he could have more than made up his losses with all the “comps” — the free rooms, meals and “50-year-old port that costs $500 a glass,” as his brother Eric said.
Does anyone believe the brother is telling the truth? I sure don’t:

Gamblers who are beating the house are not given $500 glasses of port. Refer to the profit/loss spreadsheet. And yet, according to his brother, Paddock was treated like royalty by the casinos. Which means he was losing.

Apart from outright theft, the only way to have an advantage over the casino is by card-counting. That’s not cheating and it doesn’t guarantee a win. It merely allows the gambler to make a more educated guess as each card is played, thereby tilting the odds ever so slightly in his favor. Still, if the casinos suspect a customer is counting cards, he will be promptly escorted off the premises.
The mysteries swirling around the ’32nd floor’ grow deeper by the minute:

Listen to the voiceover guy almost sensually utter the words “32nd floor” in the same velvety-tones they used to mention the “grassy knoll” in. The whole thing is dripping in phoniness.

And counting cards only helps with blackjack. Paddock’s game of choice was VIDEO POKER. That’s a computer! It’s programmed to ensure the house wins. Not all the time, but at least often enough to make casino owners multi-billionaires. Anyone who plays video poker over an extended period of time will absolutely, 100 percent, by basic logic, end up a net loser.

So why are the media insistent that Paddock was getting rich by playing video poker?

I don’t know what happened — and, apparently, neither do the cops — but it’s kind of odd that we keep being told things that aren’t true about the Las Vegas massacre, from the basic timeline to this weird insistence that Paddock made a good living at gambling.

The most likely explanation is that the reporters and investigators are incompetent nitwits. But the changing facts from law enforcement and preposterous lies from the press aren’t doing a lot to tamp down alternative theories of the crime.
Among the questions not being asked by our wildly incurious media:

    Why would Paddock unload 200 rounds into the hallway at a security guard who was checking on someone else’s room before beginning his massacre?
    How can it possibly take eight days to figure out when the alleged shooter checked into the hotel?
    Why was Paddock wearing gloves if he was about to commit suicide?
    Have any other solitary mass shooters ever had girlfriends?

If Paddock wasn’t making money on video poker — and he wasn’t — why would he be cycling millions of dollars through a casino, turning every dollar into, at best, 99 cents?

Maybe Paddock enjoyed video poker. But if the allegedly serious media are going to keep telling us he was making a living doing it, they’re just begging us to say that losing a percent or two on millions of dollars doesn’t make sense as an investment strategy, but it does make sense as a money laundering operation.

And the probable illicit business requiring money to be laundered that leaps out at us in Paddock’s case is illegal gun sales. If true, it would not only explain the arsenal in his hotel room, but also raises the possibility of either an accomplice or different perpetrator altogether.

If this were a movie script, a terrorist would go to Paddock’s room on the pretense of buying guns, kill Paddock, commit the massacre, put his gunshot residue-covered gloves on Paddock’s dead hands and slip out of the room when the coast was clear.

According to the all-new timeline given by the Las Vegas police — pending a third revision — this is at least possible. The hallway was empty, except for a bleeding security guard down by the elevators, for at least two minutes after the shooting stopped. The stairwell was clear for more than half an hour. It also explains the gloves.

There’s no evidence for any of this, but on the other hand, there’s no evidence for the version the media are giving us. At least the movie script version doesn’t require us to pretend that Paddock was making “millions” from video poker. source

The List Of CNN’s Bungled Reporting Is A Sight To Behold

Despite CNN’s assertion this week that it “does not lie,” the network has an extensive history of bungled reporting — some of which has gone uncorrected.

President Donald Trump called out CNN for its questionable report on his son’s 2016 Trump Tower meeting with the Russians, insisting that “CNN is being torn apart from within based on their being caught in a major lie and refusing to admit the mistake.”

“Make no mistake, Mr. President, CNN does not lie,” the network responded. “We report the news. And we report when people in power tell lies. CNN stands by our reporting and our reporters.”

While CNN is standing by its July 27 report claiming Michael Cohen was prepared to tell special counsel Robert Mueller that Trump knew about the Trump Tower meeting in advance, a number of factors have called their reporting into question. (RELATED: CNN’s Quadruple Down On Dubious Trump Tower Story Leaves Out Key Details)

Unfortunately for CNN, the Trump Tower story isn’t their first fling with dubious or just flat-out wrong reporting.

The following list details 20 additional stories that CNN has bungled following the rise of Trump.
1. Scaramucci Slip

CNN retracted a story in June of 2016 claiming that former Trump adviser Anthony Scaramucci was under investigation by Congress for his alleged ties to Russia. (RELATED: CNN Retracts Story About Trump Adviser Being Under Investigation)

The story relied on one anonymous congressional source and CNN apologized to Scaramucci for the error. Three CNN reporters ended up resigning from the company over the botched report.
2. Trump Jr. Collusion

CNN reported in December of 2017 that Donald Trump Jr. received special access to documents stolen by WikiLeaks on Sept. 4, 2016. However, Donald Trump Jr. actually was emailed about the documents on Sept. 14, 2016 — a day after they were already available to the general public. (RELATED: CNN Botches Major ‘Bombshell’ Alleging Contacts Between Don Jr. And WikiLeaks)

CNN updated the report but still has not explained how two sources managed to give them the wrong date on the email.
3. 17 Intel Agencies Lie

Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said during a congressional hearing in May that three intelligence agencies — the CIA, NSA and the FBI — concluded that Russia interfered with the 2016 election.

Nonetheless, CNN has repeatedly claimed that all 17 intelligence agencies came to the same conclusion about Russian meddling. CNN’s claim is pure nonsense, as the Department of Energy, Department of the Treasury, and Drug Enforcement Agency, among others, would have no authority to make any assertions about Russian meddling in elections.
4. Comey Testimony Crumbles

On June 6, 2017, CNN reported that former FBI director James Comey would contradict President Donald Trump’s claim that he was not under investigation.

When the time came for Comey to release his opening statement for his congressional testimony, he actually ended up confirming Trump’s account. (RELATED: Comey Confirms: Trump Wasn’t Under FBI Investigation)

“This article was published before Comey released his prepared opening statement. The article and headline have been corrected to reflect that Comey does not directly dispute that Trump was told multiple times he was not under investigation in his prepared testimony released after this story was published,” CNN corrected.
5. Trump’s Fish Food

When President Trump met with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe last November, the pair took part in a koi fish feeding ceremony. A video posted by CNN appeared to show Trump dumping his entire box of food into the koi pond unprompted. (RELATED: Journalists Slam Trump For Copying Fish Food Dump)

An unedited video revealed that Trump was simply following the lead of Abe, who emptied his box of food first.
6. A Clean Bill Of Health

In May of 2017 when Republicans were authoring a new health care bill, CNN claimed that GOP changes to Obamacare could make **** and sexual assault pre-existing conditions.

PolitiFact rated that claim “mostly false,” explaining that “the bill does not change what is or is not a pre-existing condition; the health insurance companies write those definitions for themselves.”
7. Officer Cuomo

CNN anchor Chris Cuomo inexplicably said in October of 2016 that possessing WikiLeaks stolen documents is “illegal,” but insisted it’s “different for the media.”

“Also interesting is, remember, it’s illegal to possess these stolen documents. It’s different for the media. So everything you learn about this, you’re learning from us,” Cuomo said.

According to The Washington Post, it is not illegal to possess or distribute illegally obtained material so long as you were not involved in the original hack.
8. Just Tap It In

CNN originally denounced Trump’s claim in March of 2017 that former President Barack Obama was wiretapping phones in Trump Tower as a “flat-out lie.”

Then, in September of 2017, CNN reported that the FBI had a wiretap on former campaign chairman Paul Manafort — who has a residence in Trump Tower.

While it is unclear if the FBI tapped Manafort’s phones in Trump Tower or picked up his conversations with the president, it’s plausible enough that CNN should not be dismissing Trump’s claims out of hand. (RELATED: CNN Reporter: Trump’s Wiretap Tweets Still Not Plausible)
9. Zeleny’s Folly

CNN reporter Jeff Zeleny tweeted on July 31, 2018, that President Trump had not taken questions from reporters in at least a week.

Just one day prior to Zeleny’s tweet, Trump answered questions during a joint news conference with the Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte.
10. Republicans Did (NOT) Fund The Dossier

The salacious and unverified Steele dossier was paid for by the Democratic National Committee and the Clinton campaign, but that hasn’t stopped CNN from pinning the document on the GOP. (RELATED: Media Still Pinning Dossier On Republicans)

Former Obama official and current CNN reporter Jim Sciutto was just one network talking-head who claimed the dossier was “initially paid for by Republicans.”

While Republicans bought standard opposition research from Fusion GPS, they stopped paying the firm well before it ever contracted with Christopher Steele to compile the anti-Trump dossier.
11. If You Build It, They Will Lie

CNN claimed that only Democratic members of Congress gathered to pray before the 2017 Congressional Baseball Game — the first game after House Majority Whip Steve Scalise was shot and nearly killed. (RELATED: CNN Incorrectly States Only Dems Prayed At Congressional Baseball Game)

Pictures of the prayer circle clearly show both Democrats and Republicans praying together, and CNN eventually deleted their tweet claiming otherwise.
12. CNN Gets Hit With A Cruz Missile

After the school shooting in Parkland, Florida, CNN media reporter Brian Stelter accused Republican congressmen of being “scared” to come on the network to debate gun control. Anchor Chris Cuomo specifically called out Texas Senator Ted Cruz for not rising to the challenge.

As it turns out, Sen. Cruz had done a 15 minute interview with CNN earlier that day. He blasted the network for airing “NONE” of his interview and noted that he had previously done three town hall debates on CNN with Senator Bernie Sanders.

13. Silly Stelter!

CNN media reporter Brian Stelter accused the Republican National Committee of “misquoting” him in an ad attacking the credibility of Michael Wolff’s book “Fire and Fury.”

“Real factual errors … makes you wonder about the overall content,” Stelter was quoted as saying.

Stelter did utter those words during a CNN International television hit and quickly deleted his accusatory tweet.

“I stand corrected: I thought this RNC ad misquoted me, but the quote came from a @CNNI TV hit,” Stelter admitted.
14. These Boots Were Made For Correctin’

Nancy Sinatra made a quick joke about her late father’s song, “My Way,” being used at Trump’s Inauguration in January 2017. She tweeted in response to the news to “just remember the first line of the song” — which is, “And now, the end is near.”

CNN spun Sinatra’s tweet into an article claiming she was “not happy” about Trump using her father’s song at the Inauguration.

“That’s not true. I never said that. Why do you lie, CNN?” Sinatra asserted. “What a rotten spin to put on a harmless joke.”
15. School Shooting Slip-Up

After a May shooting at Santa Fe High School in Texas, CNN reporters immediately began claiming that there were 22 school shootings on the year. (RELATED: CNN Re-Ups False 22 School Shootings Stat)

However, CNN wildly exaggerates the number of school shootings by using methodology that includes accidental firearm discharges on school property, domestic disputes, and other non-active shooter events.

For example, one listed shooting at Savannah State University in Georgia involved just two people, neither of whom were students.
16. Where’s Melania?

Multiple CNN reporters ridiculously speculated about the whereabouts of Melania Trump after a scheduled kidney surgery and then denied responsibility for any conspiracy theories about the first lady. (RELATED: CNN Reporters Shirk Responsibility For Melania Conspiracies)

Media reporter Brian Stelter led his “Reliable Sources” newsletter on June 3rd with the headline “Melania M.I.A,” and insisted the first lady’s whereabouts were a “mystery” because she had not been seen in public since May 10.

While Stelter blamed random internet commenters for specific conspiracy theories about plastic surgery or a move back to NYC, CNN repeated such theories in an article and even asked Melania’s spokesperson to comment on them.
17. Fake News About Fake News

CNN cited a study from the Oxford Internet Institute to claim that fake news targeted swing states during the 2016 presidential election.

However, as The Daily Caller first reported, the study says nothing of the sort. (RELATED: Mainstream Media Reporting About Twitter ‘Fake News’ Is 100% False)

The researchers in the study were talking about “junk news,” not “fake news” — and their definition of junk news includes mainstream conservative sites like The Washington Examiner and Breitbart News. A deep dive into the study thus reveals that Twitter users didn’t receive nearly as much “fake news” as CNN initially claimed to readers.
18. Trump (Not) Ignorant About Japanese Cars

CNN Money’s Daniel Shane accused President Trump of not knowing that Japan makes cars in the United States, writing, “Trump asks Japan to build cars in the U.S. It already does.”

During the president’s November visit to Japan, he told Japan Inc, “Try building your cars in the United States instead of shipping them over. Is that possible to ask?”

However, when reading his full remarks — which Shane left out — it is clear that the president was making a joke and knows that Japanese manufacturers make cars in the U.S. (RELATED: CNN Spreads Two Fake Narratives During Trump Visit To Japan)

Shane ended up issuing a correction on his article.
19. Hands Up, Fake News

A CNN panel consisting of Margaret Hoover, Sally Kohn, Sunny Hostin and Mel Robbins displayed the “hands up, don’t shoot” gesture in 2014 while talking about marches against police violence.

The gesture seemed to be a reference to the fatal police shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri.

While initial reports speculated that Brown had his hands up when he was shot by Darren Wilson, the DOJ concluded in a report in 2015 that physical and forensic evidence showed Brown’s hands could not have been above his waist.
20. Peace Be With You

CNN deceptively edited a video of Sherelle Smith and Kimberly Neal, the sisters of an unarmed black man who was shot by police. The network claimed the two sisters were “calling for peace” amidst riots in their neighborhood.

“Don’t bring that violence here,’ [Kimberly] Neal, his other sister, said while sobbing,” CNN’s report said.

However, in a longer video, Sherelle says, “Y’all burning down s—t we need in our community. Take that s—t to the suburbs. Burn that s—t down. We need our s—t. We need our weaves. I don’t wear it. But we need it.”

CNN removed the portion of their report about Sherelle and owned up to their error.

“An earlier version of this story mischaracterized what the victim’s sister was trying to convey. She was calling for peace in her community, urging the protesters to go elsewhere,” CNN told The Washington Examiner.
