The real reason Americans hate the media

It is now taken as settled science that the media largely—and this is a professional, expert term—sucks. The reasons for that are well-known and also settled, accepted science. Who would dare be a science denier? The media suffers from Trump Derangement Syndrome, they hate America and Americans and they’re among the self-imagined elite who think themselves better than everyone else. They’re not. They’re mostly white but think white people racist. They’re congenital liars and have no idea what a sincere apology might be. Actually, they’re pretty clueless on the whole sincerity thing. They’re the propaganda arm of the Democrat Party, yet some of them weakly continue to deny that.

The Delicious CBS News Settlement, and What It Portends

It’s humiliating for them.

You may have seen the news Wednesday that President Trump has settled what was a $20 billion lawsuit with the parent company of CBS News over its edit of a 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris for much less. From CBS’s own reporting of the settlement …

Paramount will pay $16 million in settlement with Trump over doctored Kamala Harris ’60 Minutes’ interview

NEW YORK (AP) — In a case seen as a challenge to ~~American ~~free-speech principles~~~~, the press getting away with lying to American public in support of its extreme left wing agenda, Paramount has agreed to pay $16 million to settle a lawsuit by President Donald Trump over the editing of CBS’ “ 60 Minutes” interview with then-Vice President Kamala Harris in October.

Paramount, which owns CBS, said the money will go to Trump’s future presidential library, not to the Republican president himself. It said the settlement did not involve an apology.

Peter Menzies: It’s no wonder Canadians are tuning out the legacy media

There are some topics that Canada’s media are clearly very afraid to touch, leaving the public that funds them through federal subsidies not fully informed.

This, for reasons suspected but unexplained, is not good if we are to rely upon the Fourth Estate to ensure the nation’s population is equipped with the information citizens need to form perspectives and organize their lives. That, after all, is the alleged purpose of the government’s subsidization of the media in the first place.

CNN’s Credibility? Totally Obliterated!

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

The Western Media’s Role in Genocide, Assassinations, and the Near Destruction of the U.S.

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.

5 Years On, What the Media Need to Know About George Floyd

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.

The Downfall Of 60 Minutes And The Biggest Media Scandal You’ve Never Heard Of

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.

Chuck Todd Claims Media ‘Are Not Elites at All,’ Bashes Press Criticism as ‘Biased’

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.

At White House Correspondents’ Dinner, fake remorse over Biden ‘mistakes’

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.

Liberals Loathe Arrival of ‘MAGA Media’ Inside the White House

The New York Times recently published a hissy fit about the White House allowing reporters into the Briefing Room who didn’t vote for Kamala Harris. Here was the amazing protest sentence: “Longtime White House reporters say the result has been an erosion of their independence.”

The presence of a reporter who didn’t vote Democrat doesn’t “erode” the anti-Trump animus (“independence”) of liberal activist journalists. It might balance it, suggesting journalism and liberalism are not exactly the same thing.

Study finds Canadians more skeptical of mainstream news

Canadians are increasingly wary of bias in mainstream media and turning to independent news sources online, according to new research commissioned by the CRTC.

Blacklock’s Reporter says a report released Saturday found that many believe traditional media fails to fairly represent different political perspectives.

An Obit for Journalism

The death of objectivity has been both cause and effect.

The year 2024 began with grim news for the news. The Los Angeles Times laid off 115 staffers in January, triggering doomsday conclusions about journalism’s future. Media experts who had worked hard to save the industry seemed ready to admit that the end was near. As one longtime observer noted, “It may finally be time to give up on old journalism and its legacy industry. . . . The old news industry has failed at adapting to the internet and every one of their would-be saviors—from tablets to paywalls to programmatic ads to consolidation to billionaires—has failed them.”
