The Democrat press

The Mainstream Media Brilliantly Summed Up by a Single Cartoon
If you want to see a microcosm of our vile American media, this is it.  "I was looking for articles showing that those who predicted deadly failure due to Governor Brian Kemp's decision to open Georgia were wrong. I found such an article at Business Insider, a widely read online news outlet. Diving into the article, though, revealed that it wasn’t reporting the news at all. Instead, it provided a perfect example of how the media shape and distort the news in service to a Democrat narrative." . . .
What Business Insider is doing isn’t reporting. It’s not concerned with facts. It is, instead, deeply concerned with crafting a narrative that makes people frightened of the Republican governors’ more freedom-oriented policies.  Andrea Widburg
Mainstream Media Is Radical Activism Disguised As News . . . "Anything that CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS—anything—they “report” has a purpose and a plan behind it. Media’s purpose is supposed to be informing the public. Mainstream media has transformed their purpose into one of misinformation and disinformation. The tip of the purpose pyramid is to get rid of Donald Trump. But each little thing in-between, like the Parkland shooting, serves as a stepping stone to that ultimate goal.
"If you’re reading this, you know the disruption and political play involved. And that the Stoneman Douglas students are nothing but “useful idiots” for whoever is paying CNN for pushing the unending fake narratives.
"The students aren’t the only “useful idiots.” Even the anchors are being used, and in the long-run will realize their place as “useful idiots” as well. Maybe Anderson Cooper’s family money will keep him in the loop. But do you really think fat and obnoxious Ana Navarro and witless Don Lemon will be hanging out with the Communist billionaires?  No. I don’t think so" . . .

Carol Brown: CBS White House correspondent unable to connect 2 dots . . . "Are members of the media that stupid, or do they simply pretend to be while thinking they appear smart and bold? 
"In any case, I don't know how the president keeps his cool with these insufferable fools who treat him with utter disdain and disrespect and who try to undermine him every day."

MSNBC's "Brzezinski called Trump a "cruel, sick, disgusting person."  . . . "Brzezinski, having long been vocally anti-Trump, went on a tirade over the president’s recent tweets suggesting her husband, fellow MSNBC host Joe Scarborough, may have had a hand in the death of a former intern decades ago. Trump tweeted on Wednesday that “Psycho” Scarborough shouldn’t be allowed to “walk the streets.' ” . . .

Miami Herald is a shoo-in for a Pulitzer  . . . "But why let a little thing like the truth get between the Miami Herald and a Pulitzer?
"The governor is doing a good job in keeping his state's economy going while keeping its citizens alive. And he pretty much has had enough from the peanut gallery in the press."

A Petty Barack Obama Refuses to Participate in Unveiling of Official White House Portrait

PJ Media


     "The unveiling of presidents’ official White House portraits by their successor has been a long-held tradition—until now. Barack Obama is refusing to participate in the ceremony for the unveiling of his portrait, NBC News has learned.
     “ 'Republican presidents have done it for Democratic presidents, and vice versa,” noted NBC News. “Even when one of them ascended to the White House by defeating or sharply criticizing the other.”
     "True enough—Barack Obama hosted the ceremony of the unveiling of George W. Bush’s official White House portrait, despite Obama ascending to the office by being a harsh critic of the 43rd president. George W. Bush similarly hosted the ceremony of Clinton’s portrait unveiling. Bush had been a critic of Clinton’s during the 2000 campaign, promising to restore honor and dignity to the office, sullied by Clinton’s sex scandal with Monica Lewinsky. Bill Clinton hosted the ceremony for George H.W. Bush, whom he’d defeated in the 1992 election.
     "Obama has also broken the custom of refusing to criticize his successor publicly. His pride, however, is too big for him to participate in the ceremony during Trump’s tenure in the White House—a continuation of the rank partisanship espoused by Obama during his presidency.
     "Barack Obama has “no interest in participating in the post-presidency rite of passage” as Trump is in office, according to people familiar with the matter.
     "Obama’s involvement in the spying on Donald Trump’s presidential campaign has recently come under intense scrutiny after it was revealed that he was personally aware of wiretaps of General Mike Flynn’s phone conversations. The Obama administration also initiated an investigation of alleged Trump-Russia collusion despite not having any empirical evidence that any collusion existed.
     "President Trump has been harshly critical of Obama, most recently calling for him to testify about his involvement is Spygate. On Monday, Trump called Obama “one of the worst Presidents in the history of our country,” an assessment that fact-checks as true."

WHO Let the Truth out

Tony Perkins  "The Chinese Communist Party must wake up every morning and thank its lucky stars for the U.S. media. While the rest of the world rages at the regime for a virus that’s killed hundreds of thousands of people, America’s press corps only sees one villain: Donald Trump. That’s been an unexpected blessing for China, who knows the media’s red-hot hatred of the president will help undermine anything he does to hold them accountable. Fortunately for America, Donald Trump has had three and a half years of experience ignoring the press — and he’s not going to stop now.
"If you thought President Trump had an impossible job before, it was a picnic compared to the pandemic. Americans are dying, the economy is crumbling, world organizations are taking China’s side — and the press seems intent on blaming the White House for all of it. Surely, New York Post's Michael Goodwin insists, despite their personal loathing of Trump, the media would concede that China is at least partially responsible for the coronavirus’s deaths and devastation. Think again. “For the Left, Trump and America are to blame. That’s where they begin, that’s where they end.”
"Even now, as the president tries to hold the World Health Organization (WHO) accountable, the media is right there — undermining his every move. But that, Goodwin points out, is where they lose. Because this president is “hellbent on [facing off with China and its cronies], even as our nation’s media elites… undercut him.”
“No other living Republican would dare to face off with China if it meant also standing up to the [New York] Times, the Washington Post, CNN, and the establishment of both parties. If anyone else were president, China would… [have gotten] away with causing the most deadly pandemic in a century.  . . .

American journalism on display:
An Asian Beto O'Rourke, I have to say
Remember Sarah Jeong, who thought it racist to say "Chinese virus"?
In a since-deleted 2014 posting, Jeong wrote: “Oh man it’s kind of sick how much joy I get out of being cruel to old white men.”“Dumbass f–king white people marking up the internet with their opinions like dogs pissing on fire hydrants,” she wrote in another.Some called her remarks racist.

Coronavirus Doesn’t Just Kill People — It’s White!

Are there any non-white authoritarians in the world? Any at all? Yes, but for the left, “white” is nothing but an evil intensifier, a verbal MSG.

Ann Coulter  "I guess now it’s OK to identify viruses by where they came from. Lately, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has been calling COVID-19 the “European virus” 1 million times per press conference.
"Here’s Cuomo at a single briefing last week: “… the virus that had attacked us from Europe … the virus came from Europe … the virus was coming from Europe … New York is where the European flights were coming in … Virus came from Europe … we had this European virus attack us … we had people coming from Europe bringing the virus.”
"So “European virus” it is!
"Who cares? It’s like referring to Muhammed the terrorist as “British man.” Verdict: true, but misleading. No one, not even the freaks at The New York Times, testy with Trump for calling it the “China virus,” disputes that “COVID-19” originated in China.
"Yes, the virus carriers who infected New Yorkers arrived on planes from Milan, but they were infected by travelers from China.
"Where did it come from before Europe?
"I don’t know. I’ve lost my notes. Why do you ask?
"To call it the “European virus” simply refers to the last transmitter. Chris Cuomo, the governor’s brother, got coronavirus, then infected his wife and son. He was the proximate cause of his family’s infections, just as people flying to JFK from Europe were the proximate cause of the coronavirus infections in New York.
"How about we start calling it the “Chris Cuomo virus”?
"But New York Times writers were all atwitter about the governor’s stroke of genius in calling it “the European virus.” “[H]is current spin,” Gail Collins wrote, “seems like a smart approach.”
"Please come up with some way for us to blame this virus on white people!" . . . More...
