Early Monday, left-wing activist Ryan Carson was stabbed to death on the streets of Brooklyn, New York while he was on his way home from a wedding. In the days since his death, the media have picked up on it and begun mourning Carson while ignoring his leftist politics and hateful rhetoric including him celebrating the death of talk radio icon Rush Limbaugh.
Jay Solomon over at Semafor is out with a piece that details how the Iranian Foreign Ministry worked closely with a bunch of American and European academics to help sell the Iran nuclear deal back in 2014 by repeating Tehran’s lines. Members of the group, dubbed the Iran Experts Initiative, were frequent sources for media outlets before and after the deal was signed in 2015.
This month, the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences will induct former CBS News anchor Dan Rather into its Gold and Silver Circle, a “society of honor” reserved for “exceptional professionals who have performed distinguished service within the television industry, setting standards for achievement, mentoring and professional accolades for 50 or 25 years, respectively.”

For months, the left-wing media have been lying outright to their audiences about the status of President Biden’s corruption scandal. Despite heaps of documents, damning statements from multiple witnesses, and sworn testimony from whistleblowers, journalists are still claiming with alarming frequency that there is “no evidence” Biden was involved in an influence-peddling scheme as Vice President.
The left-wing news network releases a deeply misleading documentary about the reforms at New College of Florida.
Earlier this week, MSNBC released a documentary about the reforms at New College of Florida titled The War on Woke. The film would more accurately be described as part of MSNBC’s ongoing war on truth. As a trustee of New College, I feel obligated to respond to three accusations in the film that are false and misleading.
First, MSNBC host Alex Wagner claims that New College has recruited a disproportionate number of student athletes, enticed them with generous scholarship offers, and, despite an all-out effort to build a new baseball team, “doesn’t have a baseball field for them to play on.” The intention of these claims is to discredit New College; it is also driven by the same spirit of resentment against men, athletes, and conservatives captured in a recent New York Times headline about the changes: “At College Targeted by DeSantis, Gender Studies Is Out, Jocks Are In.”

A German broadcaster has parted ways with a television presenter after the presenter allegedly made up a racist social media post earlier this month and attributed it to Frauke Petry, the former leader of the Alternative for Germany (AfD).
Maurice Gajda, host of the programme Explosiv, was suspended by broadcaster RTL this week after Ms. Petry accused him of fabricating a post from X, the tabloid Bild reports.
National “Public” Radio is staunchly taking sides in the debate over “book bans” of explicit sexual material in public libraries. On Saturday night’s horribly named show All Things Considered, Boston-based NPR reporter Tovia Smith filed a 12-and-a-half minute story warning “The battle over books comes at a cost.” Librarians have been smeared as evil people and their lives have been put in danger by nasty right-wingers.
Former Fox News host and Daily Caller co-founder Tucker Carlson brought his show to Twitter for the first time Tuesday by posting a monologue about the Ukraine war and how the media is covering it.

Erica Hill, anchor of CNN This Morning, chose to celebrate “Pride Month” on Friday morning by “raising the alarm” regarding trans and LGBTQ “rights” alongside Montana State Representative Zooey Zephyr (D), who also happened to be transgender. Hill went so far as to falsely suggest they were “no facts out there” to support the notion that the trans agenda was being targeted at kids.
Poilievre compares Kelowna homeless encampment to “third-world country”
Sunshine, lakes, golf and wine.
Ask any Western Canadian what the Okanagan is best known for, and most answers will be those four topics.
These images are not from a faraway third-world country.
This is Kelowna.

This piece is dismissive of the video and its source, a citizen who documents the homeless situation.
It makes you wonder if they aren’t embarassed for having failed to have exposed this very real tragedy themselves.
I guess they have better things to do, like cover Trudeaus ass.
If legacy news corporations fail to report that large majorities of the American public now view their journalistic product as straight-up propaganda, does that make it any less true?
According to a survey by Rasmussen Reports, 59% of likely voters in the United States view the corporate news media as “truly the enemy of the people.” This is a majority view, held regardless of race: “58% of whites, 51% of black voters, and 68% of other minorities” — all agree that the mainstream media has become their “enemy.”
“Only 620 of the rockets launched [by Palestinian Islamic Jihad] made it into Israeli territory” (emphasis added) is the strange way The Washington Post depicted the hailstorm of rockets on Israel from Gaza. Would The Washington Post portray the bombardment of America by 620 rockets from a genocidal enemy as “only 620 rockets”? In “Israel kills 2 more militant leaders as Gaza fight rages on” (printed version title May 12, 2023), The Washington Post invents a title that portrays Israel as the aggressor, missing the cause of the fighting, which was the rocket fire from Gaza against Israeli civilians. The article even admits that “one rocket fell on the roof of a kindergarten in the Eshkol region; another hit an empty playground.” The Palestinians are wantonly attacking children, yet the Post downplays the rocket attack to incriminate Israel’s response.
While the news from Harvard CAPS/Harris’ recent poll that received the most coverage was former President Donald Trump’s lead over President Joe Biden, the poll also demonstrates that a majority of American voters disagree with corporate media narratives. Journalist Glenn Greenwald drew attention to the report and key themes on Twitter over the weekend.
The New York Times and the Washington Post were honored for bogus Russiagate reporting. Honorable institutions would return the awards.
The New York Times and the Washington Post are among the obvious losers in the Trump–Russia collusion hoax, as the report by special counsel John H. Durham, released last week, makes clear.
But don’t forget the Pulitzer Prize Board, which has earned a special shame in this mess. It was this organization that in 2018 awarded a joint Pulitzer to the two papers for their coverage of what ended up being an election-year deception. That neither the Times nor the Post has offered to return the undeserved award only discredits them further. That the Pulitzer committee hasn’t demanded their return is similarly damning.
The media LOVES LOVES LOVES to stir up racial hatred. It is their milk and honey, their French wine, their brie and baguette, and their chocolate mousse. Destroying the life of an innocent person, labeling them a racist hatemongering White supremacist is like a Prime Rib dinner with all the fixings, and if you get the person fired it’s time to pop the champagne.
