CNN Worships Nancy Pelosi’s Ice Cream Order — Slams Trump For Getting Two Scoops

Daily Caller   Earlier this week, CNN’s Dana Bash followed Speaker of the House Pelosi to an ice cream, but TheDC’s Vince Coglianese points out that Bash’s stance on Pelosi’s favorite dessert is very different from her network’s coverage of a story about President Donald Trump’s ice cream habits.


“ 'She attributes her boundless energy to Italian genes. It’s certainly not a balanced diet — dark chocolate and ice cream,” Bash narrated in a voiceover. “Vaccaro’s has been her favorite since she was a little girl.”
"Bash and CNN’s Poppy Harlow proceeded to joke about Pelosi’s desire for her ice cream to be “chocolate unadulterated!”
"However, it’s a very different tone from past ice cream related stories. Back in 2017, Time published a story revealing that the president gets two scoops of ice cream while his guests only get one. CNN’s Brooke Baldwin and Chris Cillizza mocked the president for his ice cream desires.
“ 'Unfake the News” is a Daily Caller program dedicated to debunking the mainstream media narratives that dominate our news cycle.
"That’s where TheDC’s Vince Coglianese steps in to cut through the PC bull. Each week, Vince takes a closer look at how cable news outlets are telling the top story and then gives you his own unadulterated take." . . .

Joe Biden Grilled On Sexual Assault Allegations In The Most Unlikely Place…MSNBC!

Joe Biden Grilled On Sexual Assault Allegations In The Most Unlikely Place…MSNBC
. . . "Brzezinski was not satisfied with Biden’s response, and followed up.
“As it pertained to Dr. [Christine Blasey] Ford, high-level Democrats said she should be believed, that they believed it happened,” Brzezinski said. “You said, if someone like Dr. Ford were to come out, the essence of what she is saying has to be believed, has to be real. Why? Why? Why is it real for Dr. Ford, but not for Tara Reade?” . . .

At the very time Biden was being grilled, Thomas Lifson was posting this: 
Increasinglylooks like Biden is toast  . . . "No other group — not labor unions, not trial lawyers, not even the teacher unions — carries more weight among the donkeys than Planned Parenthood, guardians of the human sacrifice ritual at the heart of progressive politics in America today.  And Planned Parenthood understands that its own legitimacy is at stake if it is seen as protecting a sexual predator.
"It is no longer possible to use Democrats' dominance of the mainstream media to lock out the accusations against Biden by Tara Reade from public notice.  It is just too easy to make them look bad by comparing what hacks like Kirsten Gillibrand said about Brett Kavanaugh with their position on Biden.  Planned Parenthood does not want Kavanaugh's critics to look like stupid and corrupt hypocrites.
"Nancy Pelosi's answer to a question about the allegations against Biden did no good for the cause, either.
"I respect your question," Pelosi told the reporter. "I don't need a lecture or a speech." . . . Full article
Biden confronted on past Kavanaugh comments on presuming truth while denying Tara Reade accusations  "Joe Biden stumbled over his words while reconciling his denial of Tara Reade's sexual assault allegations with his statements about the allegations against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
Weasel Zippers

"In September 2018, as the Senate grappled with accusations from Christine Blasey Ford that the then-Supreme Court nominee assaulted her when they were in high school, Biden declared that women who came forward with allegations should be believed.
“ 'For a woman to come forward in the glaring lights of focus, nationally, you’ve got to start off with the presumption that at least the essence of what she is talking about is real, whether or not she forgets the facts, whether or not it’s been made worse or better over time," he said.
"His comment was often mentioned after Reade accused Biden in March of penetrating her with his fingers and forcibly kissing her in 1993, when she worked in his Senate office — a charge that he denies ever happened. MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski brought up the statement in Biden's first interview directly addressing Reade's allegations.
" 'You said if someone like Dr. Ford were to come out, the essence of what she is saying has to be believed, has to be real," she said. "Why is it real for Dr. Ford but not for Tara Reade?"
"Because the facts are — look, she — I’m not suggesting she had no right to come forward. And I never — and I'm not saying — any woman, they should come forward. They should be heard. And then it should be investigated," the former vice president and Democratic presidential nominee responded. "If there's anything that makes it, that is consistent with what is being said, and she makes the case or the case is made, then it should be believed. "But ultimately, the truth matters."
"At the end of the day, it has to be looked at. These claims are not true. There's no — I mean, they're not true," Biden said, appearing to cut himself off from saying that there is no corroboration."
""Are women to be believed unless it pertains to you?" she asked.
"Look, women are to be believed, given the benefit of the doubt," Biden said. "If they come forward and say something that is — that they said happened to them, they should start off with the presumption they're telling the truth. Then you have to look at the circumstances and the facts. And the facts, in this case, do not exist. They never happened. And there's so many inconsistencies in what has been said in this case. So yes, look at the facts. And I assure you, it did not happen. Period. Period."
Brzezinski did not let up.

Is Kim Jong Undead or what?

Taiwan’s intelligence chief says North Korea’s Kim Jong Un is ‘sick’  "Taiwan’s intelligence chief said Thursday that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is “sick” — and his country has emergency plans for a potential power struggle if he dies, according to reports.
"Chiu Kuo-cheng, the director of the National Security Bureau (NSB), gave a vague health description when pressed at a government hearing about rumors of Kim’s possible death, according to Taiwan News.
""He merely laughed and refused to reply when asked if that meant the Hermit Kingdom’s leader was indeed alive, the report said."  . . .  “This kind of behavior fully utilizes the close and isolated nature of North Korea and, so far, it has been considerably successful,” the report reads. “This is all, of course, mere speculation.” . . .

If Kim Jong Un is holed up in his luxe seaside hideaway in the port city of Wonsan, he may have plenty of company — a harem of 2,000 sex slaves, a report said Friday.
For some, um, diversity, there is this story"
North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un is in a “vegetative state” after he underwent heart surgery earlier this month, a Japanese magazine says. :
Having undergone surgery, "humanized as a plant" ...?.... "Cardiac stent surgery is not a very difficult surgery. The procedure of inserting a stent into the most important blood vessel can be completed in about 1 minute."However, the surgeon who was operating was very nervous and his hands trembled. Moreover, he had no experience of operating an obese body as much as Kim Jong Un. So it took me about eight minutes to insert the stent."Meanwhile, Chairman Kim Jong Un has become a plant human. The Chinese doctors arrived and examined me, but I couldn't do anything anymore. ''
One story hashtag has the word #undead.

So they say: North Korean state media reports Kim Jong Un made first public appearance in weeks  "(CNN)North Korean state-run media is reporting that Kim Jong Un made an appearance at a May Day celebration, which would be his first public appearance in about three weeks.
" 'Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un Cuts Tape For Completion Of Sunchon Phosphatic Fertilizer Factory," the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported.
KCNA says there was a "completion ceremony of the factory" on Friday, "the international holiday of the working people of the whole world."
"KCNA says: "Kim Jong Un, chairman of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK), chairman of the State Affairs Commission of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and supreme commander of the armed forces of the DPRK, attended the ceremony."
"No pictures of the ceremony have yet emerged. CNN cannot independently confirm KCNA's reporting." . . .

Actress Rose McGowan Calls Democrat Party A “Cult” Amid Joe Biden Sexual Assault Allegations. Hillary an enabler

McGowan called Milano a “fraud” for leading the charge against Justice Brett Kavanaugh yet supporting Biden.

"Actress Rose McGowan labeled the Democrats and the media a “cult” amid the credible sexual assault allegations against Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden.
"The actress, who was a leading figure in the #MeToo movement, shared a picture of herself crying to Twitter, captioned: “I’m really sad, and I’m really tired. I normally share thoughts, but tonight it’s emotion.”
"In the text accompanying the post, the 46-year-old actress said she “used to be a proud Democrat” and she “used to be a proud American.”
“ 'I would have died for this damned country & its ideals. I was raised to be a proud Democrat. When my youngest brother graduated as a fighter pilot at the Air Force academy, I wore a Vote John Kerry pin (lol,) got into verbal altercations with big men who were mad I was a Democrat,” she wrote." . . .

Tara Reade slams Hillary Clinton's Biden endorsement: She's 'enabling a sexual predator'  "Tara Reade, the ex-Senate staffer who accused Joseph R. Biden of sexually assaulting her in the early 1990s, accused Hillary Clinton of “enabling a sexual predator” after the former secretary of state endorsed the former vice president’s presidential campaign Tuesday.
“ 'I voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016,” Ms. Reade told Fox News. “I voted for her in the primary. I’m a lifelong Democrat. But yet, what I see now is someone enabling a sexual predator, and it was my former boss, Joe Biden, who raped me.
“ 'Hillary Clinton has a history of enabling powerful men to cover up their sexual predatory behaviors and their inappropriate sexual misconduct,” she continued. “We don’t need that for this country. We don’t need that for our new generation coming up that wants institutional rape culture to change." . . .

'The View' ignores Tara Reade's Biden allegations after championing Kavanaugh accusers

Fox News  " 'The View" hosts Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, and Meghan McCain have been sounding off regularly on President Trump's response to the coronavirus outbreak and the race between Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden. Yet none of them have weighed in on a disturbing sexual assault allegation facing Biden leveled by his former staffer Tara Reade, who went public with her 1993 claim four weeks ago.
" 'The View" isn't alone in the blackout. ABC News, which the daytime talk show is a part of, has not covered the controversy on-air and only acknowledged Reade's claim in the republishing of an Associated Press report on its website on April 13, nearly three weeks after Reade came forward.
"In addition, the network's chief political anchor George Stephanopoulos failed to ask Biden about the allegation during an interview on ABC's Sunday show "This Week" earlier this month.
"ABC News remains part of the embarrassing medley of news outlets that must still be wishing Americans either don't find out about Reade or they forget about it amidst this global pandemic that it doesn't become a mainstream campaign topic," NewsBusters managing editor Curtis Houck told Fox News." . . .

Olivia Nuzzi’s Absurd Question To Trump Is Why People Hate The Media

Let’s take another look at the question. “If an American president loses more Americans over the course of six weeks than died in the Vietnam War, does he deserve to be reelected?” What exactly is meant by the president losing lives? This is a global pandemic born of a communist Chinese government that lied about it for months with its wingman the World Health Organization. These lives are at Trump’s feet? Really?

Olivia Nuzzi’s Absurd Question To Trump Is Why People Hate The Media

"On Monday, President Trump took to the Rose Garden with members of the coronavirus task force and CEOs who are working to provide new testing. CNN cut their coverage just as the CEOs began providing important information about how to get tested, but cut back in time for questions. That’s where New York Magazine’s Olivia Nuzzi comes in.

"If an American President loses more Americans over the course 6 weeks than died in the entirety of the Vietnam War, does he deserve to be re-elected?"
Such an appalling framing of a question.
. . .
"This has all become a ridiculous reality TV show, and sure, the president is not without blame for the condition. He clearly enjoys a lot of aspects of it. But so does Olivia Nuzzi and most of the corporate press. They are willing cast members in the awkward episodes. And this one was truly cringeworthy."

It wasn’t the first time Nuzzi sacrificed her journalistic ‘integrity’ in the pursuit of a personal agenda.  . . . "In 2018 Nuzzi admitted to entering the home office of Corey Lewandowski without permission for a story and later doubled down by trying to justify her actions amid online outrage.
“…socially I would probably thrive in jail,” she tweeted in response to criticism at the time." . . .

. . . "President Trump is said to be reconsidering his daily press briefings because journalists use them to grandstand and to score political points, rather than to pursue information."The contrast with press briefings for governors and mayors is stark: there, journalists tend to be more deferential and to ask questions aimed at eliciting information rather than assigning political fault."Nuzzi, who has also covered Joe Biden’s presidential campaign, formerly interned for former Rep.
