"So-called “reporters” have been sending threatening messages to people, demanding they invent fake stories about Congressman Matt Gaetz in exchange for their names being kept out of the news.
"The office of Rep. Gaetz (FL-1) released the messages to John Solomon’s Just The News on Tuesday, appearing on the veteran reporter’s podcast on the same day.
"“[T]ime and time again, what a reporter will do is contact someone that maybe I’ve had a relationship with, maybe I haven’t had any relationship with, maybe I’ve only been in the same room with one time,” Gaetz told the John Solomon Reports podcast. “But they’ll say to a person, ‘You know, look, we are going to write your name into a story that will have sex trafficking and Matt Gaetz in the headline, unless you provide us some bad information, some embarrassing conduct about Gaetz. And if you do that, well then your name will be protected, your reputation will be protected.'”
"One stunning example is that of Mother Jones reporter Matthew Phelan, who has harassed a number of Gaetz-world figures demanding they invent narratives to keep themselves out of the news and out of trouble with law enforcement.
"Phelan contacted a young woman from Gaetz’s district, who after their conversation sent Phelan an email reiterating how she had “never been harassed by Matt Gaetz… Any interaction with him or his office has always been respectful and kind. You stated someone told you I received some kind of death threat and that’s just a false accusation.”
"But reporter Phelan wasn’t interested in that." . . .
The news comes after Project Veritas exposed senior CNN technical director Charlie Chester, who admitted on hidden camera: “If the agenda say, is to like get, like Matt Gaetz right now, he’s like this Republican. He’s a problem for the Democratic Party because he’s so conservative and he can cause a lot of hiccups in passing of laws and what not. So it would be great for the Democratic Party to get him out. So we’re going to keep running these stories to keep hurting him and make it so that it can’t be buried and just like settled outside court just and like, you know, if we keep pushing that, it’s helping us.”
Why does CNN not have more employees leaving that site out of shame and a commitment to integrity in their vocation? TD
A WikiLeaks document purloined from the global intelligence firm Stratfor in 2010 claimed that Obama’s all-purpose fixer John Brennan was “behind the witch hunts of investigative journalists learning information from inside the beltway sources.”
Obama was “the worst president ever on issues of national security and press freedom.”
"Big Media finds itself in something of a pickle. According to the Guardian, for instance, the Trump administration is mired in a “growing scandal.” Normally, this would be a welcome bit of information in most of the world’s newsrooms, but not so much this time.

"Allegedly, the Trump Department of Justice (DOJ) engaged in the “secret surveillance of journalists and even members of Congress in the waning days of the Trump presidency.” These journalists have responded with “scathing condemnations.” From the media’s perspective, this would seem to be the best news since Brian Sicknick died, but there’s a catch.
"As the Guardian acknowledges in an opinion piece by Trevor Timm, “Before Trump, Obama’s justice department did more to hurt press freedom than any administration since Nixon.” There’s a further semantic catch, but first a word on Obama’s record. As even the Guardian admits, whatever Trump did, it was small beer compared to Obama’s mischief.
"As reported in May 2013 by the Washington Post, Obama’s Department of Justice had been monitoring the comings and goings of James Rosen, then with Fox News, since 2010. What most troubled the Post and other media about the DOJ was the use of search warrants to investigate a reporter and the threat to prosecute him under the terms of Espionage Act as an “as an aider, abettor and/or co-conspirator.”
"Rosen was not the only one who had been tracked. The Post reported that federal investigators had obtained records covering two months of more than 20 telephone lines assigned to the Associated Press. “Search warrants like these have a severe chilling effect on the free flow of important information to the public,” First Amendment lawyer Charles Tobin told the Post. “That’s a very dangerous road to go down.”
"Easily the most dogged of the mainstream journalists during Obama’s first term was Sharyl Attkisson. “Goddammit, Sharyl!” Obama flack Eric Schultz was reported to have yelled at her. “The Washington Post is reasonable, the L.A. Times is reasonable, the New York Times is reasonable, you’re the only one who’s not reasonable!” Then with CBS News, Attkisson paid for her persistence in helping break the Fast and Furious story and exposing the lies surrounding Benghazi." . . .

"Hmmmm… Obama said:"
“I am proud of the fact that we will — knock on wood — leave this administration without significant scandal.”
Really? Obama’s administration had no scandals?

American Greatness U.S. Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) says recent reports in the corporate media accusing him making a donation to an anti-Semitic, homophobic, Holocaust-denying pastor are false, and he has the receipts to prove it.
"The Daily Beast falsely reported on Monday that Gohmert dropped “several thousand dollars into the coffers of a vitriolically homophobic and antisemitic pastor,” based on inaccurate federal records, while sarcastically noting that Gohmert “swears it’s a mistake.” Several other news outlets amplified the fake news.
" 'Disclosures to the FEC show that the Louie Gohmert for Congress Committee sent $5,500, to an entity in Tempe called ‘Anderson Ministries.'” Daily Beast “researcher” William Bredderman reported. “There is in fact no organization of this name registered in the Grand Canyon State—but the address in the campaign filing matches that of Anderson’s church.”
"Bredderman added disparagingly that “the pastor happens to embrace a more extreme form of Gohmert’s homophobic rhetoric.”
"In reality, the check went to Steve Amerson, a Christian singer from California whom Gohmert describes as “a sweetheart of a man,” and “a wonderful, caring person.”
"The congressman’s office told the Tyler Morning Telegraph on Tuesday that the misunderstanding was the result of his campaign treasurer making a mistake while filing with the Federal Election Commission a payment for music at a campaign event in December." . . .
Thomas Lifson "The White House press corps desperately wants to love Joe Biden, simply because he is not Donald Trump. But the stresses and strains of traveling with an addled figurehead, with a bad temper and a need for "lids" that keep the media away from him, started to accumulate on his first European tour. Signs of hurt, anger, and distrust are starting to accumulate. In the end, the editors back in New York and Washington will do their best to protect Biden, but unhappiness in the ranks of those who travel with him is not a good sign for the continued ability of his handlers to keep the public bamboozled about his senescence and the identity and power of his handlers.
"On Monday, the media were kept waiting two and a half hours for Biden to speak to them, with no explanation. My guess is he was getting jabbed with vitamins, or maybe stimulants, or God knows what sort of pharmaceuticals to revive him and make him semi-coherent. NewsBusters reported on how it all played out on MSNBC, with this compilation of excuses for the delay of his appearance "any moment now."
. . . "About that slobbering press. Not one question to Biden about dropping our sanctions on the Russian Nordstream II pipeline? Apparently not. But even the fawning press managed to goad Biden into a classic, old-guy “get off my lawn!” moment. CNN’s Kaitlan Collins asked Biden is he was confident that he could change Putin’s behavior. Biden snapped:
. . . "It really is nuts. Collins, who did nothing wrong here, ended up accepting an apology on-air while her colleagues take Biden’s side. She’ll never admit it, but that can’t feel very good. The bond between the press and Biden is just too strong, and it can’t be broken." . . .
Yet [Megan Rapinoe] doesn't project the "inclusiveness" she's been billed as projecting, given that she's been caught making a racial slur targeting Asians in her wayback, 2011, when she was 25. Some leftists are already calling to cancel her for that. Way to rope them in, V.S.

Democrats need to run somebody with a Spanish name, like..."Beto"
Silvio Canto, Jr "My late mother had an expression whenever I had a morning question about the weather. She would say in Spanish something like "open the window and see for yourself."
"Well, Democrats need to open the window and see what is happening in Texas.
Javier Villalobos.
"Down in McAllen, a GOP candidate was elected mayor. Did I tell you that McAllen is about as Hispanic as they get? It's hard to think of a more Hispanic city in Texas. Nevertheless, Javier Villalobos, a very Hispanic name, shook up the political conversation on the border.
"This is the story:
A newly elected Latino Republican mayor set to represent an 85% Latino town in Texas believes many Latinos are "opening their eyes" after years of supporting Democratic candidates.
"Well, during the past election, it's amazing what happened here in South Texas," said Javier Villalobos, who is set to represent McAllen as mayor. "I think, generally, the Hispanic community is very conservative, yet, traditionally, they voted Democrat. It's amazing what happened this past election. I think our numbers as far as conservative voters were up by substantially. We finally, finally have competition in South Texas. So I think it's going to open up the doors for a lot of people." . . .
