The Media Lies

As the world of “public” broadcasting faces the rebuke of Congress rescinding its billion dollars, it spurs a broader thought about the arrogance of liberal journalists at national media outlets. They’re not simply arrogant. They sound remarkably insincere.

Start with a man named Michael Tribble, the chief content officer at WAMU, the NPR station in the nation’s capital. He sent out a fundraising email after the Senate rebuke, oozing to their liberal supporters: “You’re part of a community that believes facts matter, that context matters, and that journalism has the power to bring us closer together.”

The last-place cable news network hits rock bottom, but still keeps digging.

Among the errors to which journalists are prone, none is so common as the delusion of instant expertise. Assign a reporter to do an article about theoretical physics, and by the time he files his story, he’ll be convinced he’s Stephen Hawking. You see this sort of phony expertise everywhere in the media nowadays, including sports, where every ESPN panelist offers his predictions with rock-solid confidence, and never acknowledges his mistake when the team he’d picked to win ends up on the wrong side of a lopsided blowout.

CNN’s Erin Burnett says there’s a “friendliness” to Iranians who chant ‘Death to America’:

“I remember, Dana, one point being in Tehran years ago and they’re chanting death to America all around me, even as I say, ‘oh, I'm an American, reporting for CNN.’ And they were happy to… pic.twitter.com/nvQkD77cFD

As I see it, there were three big stories this week: the media’s pretense that it was ignorant of Biden’s infirmities when it mattered; the cold-blooded assassination in D.C. of two young employees of the Israeli embassy, and the president’s refusal to join in the whitewashing of the genocide in South Africa. Examination of the details of these events reveals beyond the possibility of doubt that the mainstream press here and abroad is guided by anti-truth, antisemitic, anti-white, and anti-Western civilization animus. The press deserves a harsh reckoning: ignore them, drive down circulation and views, expose their lies and agenda.

Be prepared for the twisting of the facts by the legacy media.

For the last five years, the legacy media reported the death of George Floyd no more honestly than they did the health of Joe Biden. The conservative media have only lately attempted to set the record straight, but few among them know the story well enough to counter leftist propaganda.

Saturday, May 25, marks the fifth anniversary of Floyd’s death. The legacy media will take the lead in reviving this story and spinning it. The conservative media — and the White House — need to know how to respond. Some food for thought.

Last week, Bill Owens, the executive producer of CBS’ flagship news program 60 Minutes, resigned, “citing encroachments on his journalistic independence,” per The New York Times. In the first show since the news of Owens’ resignation broke, 60 Minutes ended the program with a glowing, if dubious, tribute to Owens that has since gone viral online. The program took the unusual step of alleging unethical behavior by CBS’ corporate parent Paramount for Owens’ resignation, though they didn’t present any direct evidence of this. And the facts suggest that Owens isn’t exactly the paragon of integrity he’s being made out to be.

Excellent blow by blow thread …

The culture has been won. The era of insanity is over.

In a press conference today, Stephen Miller laid out exactly how America is clawing its way back to common sense.

But it was his response to a CBS reporter that lit the room on fire.

The whole thing …

Along with his viral comments on Chris Cillizza’s podcast defending the liberal media’s cover-up of Joe Biden’s cognitive decline, former Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd used the Monday episode of his own podcast to claim “most people in the press are not elites at all” and deride press criticism as “insult[ing]” and “biased” in and of itself that should be dismissed.

Imagine a neurological disease that changed your perceptions in subtle, damaging ways.

Stubbing your toe would bring pleasure. Rotten meat would taste delicious. Deadly cold would feel comfy.

Meanwhile, a gentle neck massage would make you feel sick, and fresh food would taste disgusting.

You wouldn’t last long with such a disease. But our society is facing something similar.
