90 Million Pay Money to CNN While Fewer than 1 Million Watch

Comedian Argus Hamilton    discusses CNN: "A Phoenix grandma visiting the zoo saved a woman from the clutches of a Jaguar with which she’d tried to take a selfie. She hurled a water bottle at the cat and then pulled the woman to safety. The next day, CNN reported that a white woman attacked an African immigrant and stole his lunch."

Breitbart  "According to the far-left outlet’s own fact sheet, CNN is currently available in 90 million households. This means 90 million people pay money to CNN every month even though fewer than one million on average actually watch CNN.

"The game is rigged, folks. And it is especially rigged against those normal Americans who on a daily basis are bullied, taunted, discriminated against, demonized, threatened, and menaced by CNN.

"You see, it works like this…

"Even if you don’t watch CNN, you are still forced to pay for CNN.

"It is called a carriage fee, and every month you subsidize this hate network to the tune of about $1.00 a month, or around $12.00 a year.

"That means the welfare queens at CNN snatch about $90 million a month just because the game is rigged to force you to pay for a propaganda outlet that encourages and legitimizes violence, a hate network that runs one blacklisting campaign after another to de-platform conservatives or anyone who challenges that establishment.

"This means the welfare queens at CNN are bringing in over a billion — that’s “billion” with a “B” — dollars a year just because the game is rigged to force you to pay for a far-left mouthpiece for the Democrat Party that openly calls for riots, demonizes children who dare to support Trump, engages in rape fantasies of Trump supporters, and deliberately spreads wild-eyed conspiracy theories.

"How is this possible?

"How in the world is CNN — national laughingstock in the credibility and ratings arena — able to run away with something like a billion dollars a year from Americans who do not watch CNN, Americans who boycott CNN, and American who despise CNN for its bigotry and love of violence?" . . .

2017: Mocking CNN at its low point  "When I ponder the fate of my soul, I am given pause in celebrating the misfortunes of my antagonists, aka indulging in schadenfreude.  But then something comes along that is just irresistible, and I have to share it with our readers.  On last night's installment of Tucker Carlson Tonight, Mark Steyn and Tucker traded quips at the expense of CNN.  Steyn's characteristic riffs and flights of fancy are in full evidence." . . .

You Bet Media Matters — and That’s Why Fox News Has to Stand by Its People

In this season of madness, the message for Fox News is “Stand By Your Man” — whether it be Tucker or Sean or women like Laura, Martha, and Shannon. Don’t worry about not airing a Democrat debate. Let them get comfortable answering fluffy questions. But learn from this that your brand strength and viewer loyalty and corporate profits will not depend on Tom Perez but on how your stand by your core hosts.

The American Spectator   "Remember when the Left tried to drive Rush Limbaugh off the air seven years ago after he called Sandra Fluke a “slut”? Oh my, how they salivated as they got some advertisers to withdraw ads from Rush’s show! They thought they had Rush off the air. They really did. Carbonite, the computer-data back-up company, made a big splash when they announced they were pulling their ads off Rush. But Rush stuck it out. He stayed strong. And, like the Energizer Bunny, all these years later he still is going and going and going, while history records that Fluke was a fluke. And Carbonite’s stock value nose-dived.

"Yes, it was right for Fox to dissociate from Bill O’Reilly. What can one say? All those many high-ticket legal settlements with women — too many. That was not about politics or about left-wing pressure, even though the revelations emanated from the New York Times Left. Our society just cannot abide that.

"But then the Left came after Sean Hannity. Remember that one, when he backed Roy Moore against the Democrat in the Alabama race for U.S. Senate? And they got Keurig to pull some ads? Remember? That stopped pretty fast when the media was swamped with images of Hannity fans smashing their $100-plus Keurig coffee machines. Some of those tweets got more than two million views. It even got to the point that Sean went on TV and appealed to his viewers to stop smashing their coffee machines.

"Next the Left tried to take down Laura Ingraham when she tweeted something perfectly legitimate about a narcissistic loud-mouthed kid at the Florida high school where the mass shooting took place. They tried to drive her off the air by pressuring her sponsors to abandon her or face withering boycotts. She withstood the onslaught, and Fox stood by her. She continues to run the best news-commentary show on television, hands down." . . .

From The Babylon Bee: Fox News Worried It Might Lose Far Left Demographic Amid Tucker Carlson Controversy  . . . "According to insiders, leaders of the news organization are "extremely worried" over the possibility of losing the far left demographic that is threatening to boycott the channel.

" 'We're seeing a lot of extreme leftists calling for a station boycott, and we're starting to worry we might lose them," said one panicked executive. "Does anyone have any ideas as to how we can woo these libtards back?' " . . .
. . . "At publishing time, Fox News executives had settled on disguising Tucker Carlson as Che Guevara for a few weeks."

Greenpeace Founding Member: 'The Whole Climate Crisis Is Not Only Fake News, It's Fake Science'

As for the alarmists, "that’s all they are doing is instilling fear. Most of the scientists who are saying it’s a crisis are on perpetual government grants.' 

Greenpeace Founding Member: 'The Whole Climate Crisis Is Not Only Fake News, It's Fake Science'

PJ Media  "On Tuesday morning, Patrick Moore, a founding member of the environmentalist organization Greenpeace, slammed climate alarmists for promoting a fake emergency. President Donald Trump tweeted Moore's remarks shortly after he made them.
" 'In fact, the whole climate crisis as they call it is not only fake news, it’s fake science. There is no climate crisis," Moore, author of the book Confessions of a Greenpeace Drop-Out: The Making of a Sensible Environmentalist, told "Fox & Friends" Tuesday morning.
" 'There is weather and climate all around the world. And, in fact, carbon dioxide is the main building block of all life," Moore said. "That’s where the carbon comes from in carbon-based life, which is all life on land and in the sea. And not only that, a little bit of warming would not be a bad thing for myself being a Canadian and the people in Russia wouldn’t mind a little couple of degrees warmer either."
"The Greenpeace founding member did not deny that climate change is real, but he insisted that it is not a crisis.
" 'Yes, of course, climate change is real. It’s been happening since the beginning of time. But it’s not dangerous and it’s not made by people," Moore insisted.
"What is climate change, if it's not a man-made imminent crisis? "Climate change is a perfectly natural phenomenon and this modern warm period actually began about 300 years ago when Little Ice Age began to come to an end," he explained. "There is nothing to be afraid of." . . .

Tucker gives the left another reason to go after him:

The oppression of conservatives and suppression of freedom

A Professor Spoke the Truth, He Still Pays the Price  . . . "At the conclusion of his piece, Abrams made an argument that rang true to my more than 20 years of litigation experience — “ideological imbalance, coupled with [administrators’] agenda-setting power, threatens the free and open exchange of ideas.”
"This is exactly right. Administrators draft and enforce speech codes. Administrators are responsible for creating campus kangaroo courts. Administrators kick Christian student groups off campus, and administrators often take the lead in designing campus programming that features overwhelmingly progressive voices. While conservative media often focus their ire on random radical professors, administrators are busy engaging in the overwhelming majority of campus censorship.
"Simply put, Abrams told an important truth. And he’s been punished for it. As our 
Madeleine Kearns reported last November, his office door was vandalized, students called for him to be punished, anonymous individuals falsely accused him of sexual misconduct, and when Abrams urged the college president, Cristle Judd, to take a strong stand in favor of academic freedom, he said that she “asked whether he thought it was appropriate to write op-eds without her permission and further suggested that his article had been hostile toward his colleagues.”

The Left should debate rather than call for boycotts
. . . "This is how [Tucker] Carlson fought back:

The left's main goal, in case you haven't noticed, is controlling what you think.  In order to do that, they have to control the information that you receive.  Google and Facebook and Twitter are fully on board with that.  They are happy to ban unapproved thoughts, and they don't apologize for it.  Same with the other cable channels and virtually every major news outlet in this country.

"Thanks to Carlson for fighting back." . . .

New Petition Threatens Fox with Boycott Unless They Stand With Judge Jeanine Against Omar  . . . "Sunday March 10, 2019 Fox News reprimanded one of their most

popular hosts, Judge Jeanine for expressing her opinion on Ilhan Omar.
"This came after a muslim Fox News producer who regularly attacks conservatives complained about the segment.
"Per DailyCaller, Pirro raised questions about what motivates Rep. Ilhan Omar’s anti-Semitism. It was a legitimate question given the Muslim Somali-American’s blatant anti-Semitic statements and association with Islamists.
" 'Omar wears a hijab, which, according to the Quran 33:59, tells women to cover so they won’t get molested,” Judge Jeanine said. “Is her adherence to this Islamic doctrine indicative of her adherence to Sharia law, which in itself is antithetical to the United States Constitution?' ” . . .

Enough with boycotts already  . . . "Tucker Carlson is finding that advertisers are abandoning his show because he spoke politically incorrectly about several different groups.  I wish he would publish who is dumping him so I can avoid those products if I want to.  I haven't found such a list yet for the current comments." . . .  Tucker Carlson on Media Matters

Censoring Judge Jeanine . . . "Pirro then reminded Pelosi and her colleagues of their party’s purported principles -- one of them being a firm intolerance of anti-Semitism. “She’s not getting this anti-Israel sentiment doctrine from the Democrat Party,” Pirro said of Rep. Omar. What, then, Pirro asked, was the source of Omar’s Jew-hatred?" . . .

Rev. Al Sharpton suggested Tuesday that a remark that Bill Clinton made about President Barack Obama may have been racist .

Is It Time for International Women’s Day to Lose Its Victimhood Status?

Veronika Winkels  "This International Women’s Day, I recall how I spent it last year -- meeting one of the sanest men on the planet, Jordan B. Peterson, during his book tour in Melbourne.

"Although Peterson is famous for his appeal to young men who have never been told to make their beds, his clear thinking is a boon to anyone frustrated by the contradictory ideologies of our time. That includes me.

"It strikes me as odd that on the one hand, our society seems to celebrate women at every opportunity. That’s not necessarily a bad thing. But it becomes a confusing thing when said society is also meant to accept, simultaneously, that gender is something wholly irrelevant to our makeup as human beings.

"Suddenly we are told that, as women, we are not so special. In fact, our womanhood is an illusion.

"Most of us can see past these kinds of contradictions in our culture, simply because we know, innately, women are different from men, and that is something to be celebrated.

"Let’s hang onto that word “celebrated”, because too often, when women are the subject, victimhood is the main focus. Women are constantly starring as victims of the male patriarchy, of inequality, of sexual/physical/emotional/abuse. Even the meme “female empowerment” assumes that women have been denied power that is rightfully theirs.

"That is why I have to smile wryly as IWD looms: the voices that dominate its representative body, its showgirls, are never the powerless type; nor are they unassuming, stay-at-home mothers like me, whose power is consumed -- voluntarily -- serving the needs of my family. In fact, one gets the impression that to be quiet, unassuming and a stay-at-home-mum is to betray the movement that has given rise to such gestures as IWD." . . .

President Trump Can Regain Iranian Freedom and Security that Obama Lost

Aynaz Anni Cyrus and Kaveh Taheri  . . . "The anti-regime protest, called the Green Movement, could have led to regime collapse if the so-called reformists had not betrayed the Iranian people.  The thing that made the reformists' betrayal even worse was that the American president, Barack Obama, also turned his back on those freedom-seeking Iranians.

"Having been recently elected as a Democrat claiming to bring "Hope" and "Change" to America, Barack Hussein Obama remained silent when millions of Iranians took to the streets in June of 2009.  They had hopes of bringing change to their tragic lives under harsh Islamic rule.  But Obama was silent when Iranians demanded freedom from the terrorist regime that has threatened the world, especially America, with death and destruction ever since it seized power in 1979.  Obama was silent when Iranians cried out, "Are you with us, or are you with them?"

"Instead of offering the people any moral support, Obama stayed passive.  His voice could have boosted Iranian peoples' hopes to bring positive change in Iran.  His silence revealed that his favor was with the mullahs.  It was not surprising.

"After all the treachery that Obama brought to the Iranian people over the next eight years, the political ground for Iran changed after 2016, when the new American president took office in the White House." . . .

The writers speak with authority:  Aynaz Anni Cyrus is an Iranian-American human rights activist and founder of Live Up To Freedom.  She is the producer of The Glazov Gang and hosts its feature The Unknown.  Kaveh Taheri (Twitter: @TaheriKaveh), co-founder and chairman of ICBHR.com, is a Turkey-based Iranian human rights researcher and journalist who has worked exclusively on the Middle East.  Kaveh, a former political prisoner in Shiraz, was sent to prison for his writings and statements on his websites and weblogs in Iran and fled the country through Turkey to save his life.

Why did Obama turn his back on the Iranian people?  . . . "Obama’s obsession with dealing with the mullahs seems to have spilled over into his feckless Syria policy:" . . .

Michael Oren: Obama rejected Iran Green Revolution for nuclear deal   . . . "Among the Iranian provocations ignored by the Obama administration, Oren listed the crackdown on the protesters, the kidnapping of Americans, having their missile boats provocatively approach American destroyers, trying to assassinate him and his Saudi counterpart in downtown Washington, the failure to follow through on a red line Obama imposed on Syrian dictator Bashar Assad using chemical weapons and Iranian-backed Hezbollah smuggling massive amounts of cocaine into the US." . . .

Meet Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Rasputin

"Rasputin reached the pinnacle of his power at the Russian court after 1915. During World War I, Nicholas II . . . went to the troops on the front, leaving Alexandra in charge of Russia’s internal affairs, while Rasputin served as her personal advisor. Rasputin’s influence ranged from the appointment of church officials to the selection of cabinet ministers (often incompetent opportunists), and he occasionally intervened in military matters to Russia’s detriment. Though supporting no particular political group, Rasputin was a strong opponent of anyone opposing the autocracy or himself."

Frank Hawkins (Video)  . . . "In the space of just a few short months, Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, with fewer than 16,000 votes in a primary election, went from the role of obscure bartender to perhaps the most famous and powerful freshman member of Congress ever. She instantly became a media darling who drives ratings and Internet clicks. Senior Democrats such as Sen. Ed Markey gush over her and edge in to get their picture taken with her as they appear to hang on her every word.

"Ocasio-Cortez was given a plum seat on the House Financial Services Committee. Her placement on the exclusive House Banking Committee, as well as the appointments of other newbie progressives to top committees was part of a larger deal to re-secure the speakership for Nancy Pelosi ahead of the midterms. Pelosi agreed to 40 percent progressive representation on the five top House committees.

"How could this have happened?  Look behind the curtain. You’ll find her mysterious chief of staff, Saikat Chakrabarti, a well-funded radical left wing activist who, with other veterans of the 2016 Sanders campaign, including “Young Turks” host Cenk Uygur (later purged over past allegedly sexist, racist, pro-rape statements), established a web of campaign organizations and LLC’s, including Justice Democrats and Brand New Congress.  As many as 16 groups were housed in the same office space in Knoxville, TN, with no apparent legally-required “walls of separation.' ” . . .

Bernie Sanders’ Role Model For Successful Socialism Fails: Finland’s Government COLLAPSES Due To Rising Costs of Universal Health Care

FedUp  "For years, Socialist Senator and two-time Democrat presidential candidate, Bernie Sanders, has been asking Americans to look away from the horrific nightmare unfolding in the Socialist, oil-rich nation of Venezuela. Look at the Scandinavian countries, he said. “Take a look at Finland,” he said, they’re “the happiest country in the world.”

"Unfortunately, for Finnish citizens, U.K. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was correct when she once warned, “The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money.”

"Bernie Sanders, the Socialist who owns three homes and never worked outside of government, frequently uses Scandinavian countries like Sweden, Norway, and Finland as examples of how well socialism or socialist policies work.

"When Bernie Sanders was running for president in 2016, he raved about the success of Finland’s free health care program for its citizens:

. . . "Finland’s aging population is increasing the financial strain on its health care system.
"Reuters reports that other Nordic countries have also grappled with the need to cut costs. Sweden is to gradually raise its retirement age and has opened up parts of the healthcare system to the private sector in a bid to boost efficiency.
"Denmark will gradually increase the retirement age to 73 – the highest in the world – while cutting taxes and unemployment benefits to encourage people to work more.
"Finland’s socialist “Basic Income” program was also a huge fail and an embarrassment to the people like Bernie Sanders who think it’s okay for people who don’t want to work to rely on working citizens to support them." . . .

"Only two years after implementing Finland’s “basic income” program in Finland, the government was forced to pull the plug on the disastrous program.

Trans Athletes: The Death Of Women's Sports Fairness Gone Too Far

Testosterone Nation  or try this link.

"To make things clear:  

"A trans woman is a person who was born male (with XY chromosomes) and identifies as female. They're often described as MTF or male-to-female athletes.

• A trans man is a person who was born female (with XX chromosomes) and identifies as male. They're often referred to as FTM or female-to-male athletes.

"Most sporting federations have no problem allowing trans men to compete as biological men. Why? Because they can affirm their identities, inject testosterone, and play against men who naturally make a lot of testosterone. 
"But things get trickier when trans women, who have XY chromosomes and have gone through puberty before transitioning, want to compete against biological women, who make significantly less testosterone. And even with medical intervention (hormonal modifications and surgery), their physical advantages can't be ignored. 

"It's Not About Politics. It's About Biology.
"Most people don't care how anyone else identifies. If you're trans, most people want you to live your life however you see fit, just as long as it doesn't hurt them.
"But that's the crux of the situation. If a biological woman invests a lot of time preparing for a competition, and then the playing field becomes significantly un-leveled, it does hurt her.
"It hurts her chances of getting a scholarship, earning a title she worked for, turning pro, making it to the Olympics, winning a cash prize, setting a prestigious record, or in certain cases, it may irreparably damage her body, depending on the sport.
"Granted, this is not an easy situation... especially if you're the head of a sports federation. If you don't comply with trans-activism, you run the risk of getting sued and being smeared all over the media as a bigoted organization. Your image will suffer." . . .
