Corrupt Media Obsess Over Luigi Mangione After Memory Holing Trump’s Would-Be Assassins

Legacy media has shown a rare burst of old-fashioned reporting chops, digging deep into the life of Luigi Mangione, 26, who grew up in an $800,000 Towson, Maryland, home, had a wealthy real estate mogul grandfather, and suffered from back pain made worse after he went surfing in Hawaii and again when he slipped on a piece of paper, according to an ABC News report. Mangione was the 2016 valedictorian at the Gilman School in Baltimore, a private boys’ school with current tuition of nearly $38,000. The details are plentiful and the digging continues.

Rich kids are fascinating. Murder is fascinating. Manhunts are fascinating. Check, check, check. It’s like catnip to readers. And bonus, Luigi Mangione is, well of course we can’t say it, but folks have noticed: he happens to be good looking. And something about health insurance? His platform is not super clear. But health insurance is important, and way too expensive. The all-knowing media can fill in the gaps on that issue.

The Far-Left Hypocrisy of Press Progress

Press Progress is a Canadian online media outlet that presents itself as a left-wing publication with the goal of “holding the rich and powerful to account” and a counterbalance to “right-wing think tanks.” The sort of ‘progressives’ who are just looking to push back against conservative arguments and narratives.

However, many people view Press Progress as a far-left activist blog that sets out to smear conservatives and others who oppose their political orthodoxy by using innuendo and uncharitable characterizations. They seem to have a well-ingrained in-group out-group mentality in their reporting, if you aren’t with them you become a lefist hate-symbol.

The government’s bill also paves the way for the companies to both tinker with what they show to subscribers, so as to increase the “discoverability” of Canadian content, and open their books to Canada’s telecom and broadcast regulator by granting access to confidential corporate information.

The Broadcasting Act Blunder, Day Five: The Narrow Exclusion of User Generated Content Services

The Broadcasting Act Blunder series has focused for the past two days on inaccurate claims from Canadian Heritage Minister Steven Guilbeault that the bill contains significant economic thresholds as a guardrail against over-regulation and excludes news from its ambit. As I noted, the bill does no such thing, though the CRTC will be able to establish regulatory exemptions once it conducts extensive hearings on implementing the legislation should it pass.
