Soon after Special Counsel John Durham indicted Igor Danchenko, the “Primary Sub-Source” of the Steele dossier, on five counts of lying to the FBI, the press paused to feign a moment of public introspection. The corrupt media’s attempt to frame their failings as mere confirmation bias, however, holds no truer than the Russia-collusion hoax they peddled for five years.
The current, corrupt press corps is opening new doors for free-thinking capitalists.
Media bias went nuclear during the Age of Trump, and reporters chose to double down on their liberal loyalties once Joe Biden took the oath of office. Even progressive journalists like Glenn Greenwald and Matt Taibbi started calling out the problem.
Remember how the media fought back against the Hunter Biden laptop story rather than attempt to verify it before Election Day? Or how news outlets ignored the young Biden’s use of the n-word, while burning endless calories punishing country crooner Morgan Wallen for using the toxic word once?
America’s mainstream, or legacy, media have an agenda. It’s not to subjectively report the truth but to further leftist ideas and policies, all of which are toxic. The press’ disinformation campaign to prop up critical race theory is yet another example of its effort to deceive, manipulate, and divide on behalf of the party it is constantly shilling for.
Watching some of the mainstream media coverage, primarily Fox News, of the Kyle Rittenhouse case, I’ve been a little perplexed.
Grant it, I have not been glued to the screen and certainly could have missed it, but I have not once actually seen the video of that summer night in 2020 showing Rittenhouse shooting three people, two fatally, in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
Instead, you get an endless stream of emotional back-and-forth. You get commentators on the left calling Rittenhouse a white supremacist (despite everyone involved being white) and a murderer while the commentators on the right call him a praiseworthy hero.
If you watch the video, it should be a closed case of self-defense. A case shouldn’t have been brought. No need to make Rittenhouse a hero or a villain. It simply was self-defense.
“You have to have new ground rules for the media. They have to stop treating Republicans like normal politicians. They are not normal politicians … This is a party that spends its entire time cooking up ridiculous culture memes and fanning violence and coming up with outright lies,” Rubin said during an interview with MSNBC.
Dan Gainor, who is the vice president for Free Speech America and Business at the Media Research Center, told Fox Business in an interview the plan is “insanity” and called for strong opposition to it.
“This is insanity. I understand why some on the right support this. The decline of local journalism can hurt communities. But putting it on the federal payroll will only make it worse. Don’t expect reporters to criticize politicians who fund them. And do expect them to write stories that please those politicians,” Gainor said.
The key to this piece is the semantic creation of a new idea of what racism is. The authors of the article assert that someone can still be a racist and support a black Republican. Obviously, this statement is sheer lunacy, but it shows the depths of insanity to which these people sink.
In 2019, Canada’s budget for international assistance totalled $6.2 billion dollars. Each year, our ruling government extracts approximately $6 Billion dollars from Canadian tax-payers, and ships the funds to the World Bank, IMF, and African Development Bank.
To place this in proper context, it is not as though governments previous to Trudeau’s Liberals have not indulged in the practice. They certainly have. What has not been exposed by mainstream media is alleged misappropriation of these billions.
This week, the CBC apologized after blowing an election call for the mayoral race in Quebec City. The CBC’s bungled call led to the wrong candidate rushing to the podium to mistakenly deliver her victory speech. So much for being a “beacon for truth.”
The state broadcaster continues to publish awful opinion pieces – this week, they claim climate change is caused by racism and white supremacy. Is anybody really surprised by how far-left the CBC is these days?
A recent Gallup poll found that only 36 per cent of U.S. adults trust legacy media to report the news fairly, accurately and fully. Another third of Americans said they have no trust in the mass media at all, a finding that was particularly pronounced among Republicans and political independents.
As RedState reported, Project Veritas has found itself in the crosshairs of the FBI recently. That began with a raid on the homes of several of its journalists under the guise of looking for Ashley Biden’s diary. Apparently, a stolen diary is now in the purview of federal authorities. Will they be investigating bike thefts next?
But what was so disturbing, besides the raids happening in the first place, was how quickly The New York Times knew about them. While O’Keefe was asked by the FBI to keep quiet, the Times knew within hours, pointing to a leaker within the bureau.
The Kyle Rittenhouse trial is making some people on the left very angry and others just plain bonkers. It has been baffling watching some of the reactions from liberals in media and politics.
It’s been a festival of hot takes.
Over at CNN, legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin, who was suspended from the network earlier this year for lewd behavior on a Zoom call, had a predictably smug take on the proceedings.
Last Friday morning, Statistics Canada greeted the country with a monthly employment report that, by any reasonable assessment, was good news.
Jobs increased by a modest but healthy 31,000 in October, adding to September’s surge of 157,000 jobs. The unemployment rate fell to 6.7 per cent, the lowest since the pandemic began. Full-time employment accounted for all the gains. Private-sector hiring rose by 70,000. Hours worked were up. Wages were up.
But to hear the Conservative opposition’s spin, this was all very bad news indeed. It was smoking-gun evidence of economic mismanagement at its worst.
The CBC, with their new commitment to hard-hitting climate journalism, publishes an op-ed by a man who orders too much takeout and is therefore experiencing eco-anxiety because of all the plastic containers he has accumulated. While this particular CBC op-ed may be useless fluff, the concept of “climate anxiety” is worth delving into. True North fellow Lindsay Shepherd discusses what “climate anxiety” is and how the leftist-socialist-environmentalist class uses these types of concepts as cop-outs and excuses for their bad habits.
“The price we pay for having a free press is a lot of irresponsible and sloppy journalism,” he explained, adding some “reputable” news outlets have been sloppy in their reporting of the case while others have been “perfect” in their reporting.
During the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse on Tuesday, video was entered into evidence that showed the shooting for which the young man is on trial from an aerial angle. The video had not yet before been seen.
