Memo to morons: Neither Sweden, nor Britain, nor Norway has a socialist command economy. Some are led by right-wingers. All of them pay for state projects such as health care through high taxes. Shouldn't Cooper have brought up that the Other People's Money has run out on Britain's socialist health system, and there's been a problem with ambulances dumping patients at the hospital doors, in addition to long waiting lines, and horrors such as the killing of baby Charlie Gard? All of that, courtesy of government control of health care.
Monica Showalter "In an example of journalism used to conceal, rather than expose, truth, CBS's 60 Minutes can stand up and take a bow for its mother of all puff pieces on New York's newly elected socialist congresswoman, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
"Cream puff journalism at its finest. Heck, it was a campaign ad. Or call it a belated campaign contribution, because it was anything but hard-hitting.
"Here is the CBS transcript, along with the full televised report, and here are some CBS-released trailers:
"How was this report biased? Well, start with the camera lighting and coloration, which we learned all about back when 60 Minutes manipulated it to make President Trump's former adviser, Steve Bannon, look like a bleary-eyed drunk.
"Ocasio-Cortez's lighting, seen in the whites of her eyes and her teeth, comes off as blindingly white. Yes, she's young, and yes, she has access to WhiteStrips for that movie-star smile. But not all of the frames show that blinding whiteness and utter smoothness of skin, which apparently has been applied to some extent to interviewer Anderson Cooper, too. This clip shows Ocasio-Cortez with more natural coloring and facial lines. This one shows what looks like an apparent re-touch to cartoon-like coloring and line-free skin.
"What a nice favor they did for her.
"It gets worse." . . . Read on...
Dems are starting to endorse confiscatory taxation of the 'rich' "Fair share" and all that, of course. Does the sun rise in the east?

"The left wing of the Democrats is playing with fire, advocating revenge against those who have succeeded in making a lot of money by taking almost all of it away. Yesterday, a probable candidate for president (and a former Obama Cabinet member) one-upped even Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who broke the ice on public discussion of stratospheric income tax rates by suggesting a marginal 70% federal rate on incomes of ten million and up. That would yield an effective rate over 80% for residents of New York and California, the states that produce the highest number of super-earners.

NYT Puff Piece On Democrat Ilhan Omar Again Whitewashes Her Apparent Anti-Semitism . . . "The problem with this sort of propaganda is what was left unreported. According to the story, “Her support for the boycott, divest and sanctions movement to pressure Israel to improve treatment of Palestinians is making Jewish leaders nervous.' ” . . .
"Less than two months after he was given prominent op-ed space in the Washington Post, a video has surfaced of Houthi rebel leader Mohammad Ali al-Houthi launching a shoulder-fired missile and then reciting the Houthi slogan, which calls for “Death to America.' ” . . .
