Mainstream media caught in 'woke stranglehold': Batya Ungar-Sargon

 Newsweek deputy opinion editor slams woke journalism on 'Tucker Carlson Tonight.' #FoxNews

Comments to this post:

• Fox should have her on more often. She's left-wing but one of the few realizing the Dems have completely abandoned their principles, and she's speaking out about it.
• 
  
• I love how Little Brian Stelter immediately starts deflecting as soon as she says "The medias reaction..." "Whos media, there are hundreds of media..." Almost like he was ready to say "Well, so and so said it first." what a knob.
• 
  
• This woman is not only beautiful and personable, she's brilliant! Kudos to Tucker for having her on!
• 
  
• Totally respect Fox for getting "traditional democrats" (i.e., moderate liberals) such as Batya Ungar-Sargon and Tulsi Gabbard as guests. Shows a high level of journalistic integrity. Interestingly, both of these individuals are deeply spiritual: Ungar-Sargon is Jewish, and Gabbard is Hindu. Additionally -- and quite possibly as a direct result of their faith-based lives -- they both exemplify a fantastic level of objectivity, common sense, class, sophistication, kindness, non-fanaticism, and awareness of how the far left has lost their way.
• 
  
• Perhaps, this is what is sorely missing in the far left: total lack of a spiritual or religious foundation and moral compass to guide their words and deeds. Faith is faith, regardless of the belief system. Hope to see more guests of this great caliber on Fox. Well done, Tucker.

Kamala "I'm speaking" Harris and her latest quest for "justice"

 Kamala Harris’ Laughable Riff on Trees and Racism Is Like a Scene From ‘The Office’  "When I first started writing at RedState as an unpaid lackey pumping out diaries some years ago, I needed an easy, one-word description of things that are so absurd that they mimic parody. I settled on “parodical,” and to this day, I have no idea if I made it up or if it actually passes muster as part of the English language. Google is inconclusive on that question.

"Still, it fits the video I’m about to share with you to a tee, and you’ll be less than shocked to learn it involves Kamala Harris. Yes, the world’s most inauthentic, unnatural politician made news yesterday by pressing NASA on its ability to sort trees by race as part of an “environmental justice” push." . . .

. . ."Regardless, putting the absurdity of the entire spectacle aside, the word “justice” has been rendered completely meaningless at this point by the left. That’s a shame because justice is actually a good and necessary thing to pursue in the world. Yet, when it becomes nothing more than a stand-in for whatever random far-left policy a Democrat wants to push, the term loses its moral standing." . . .

Reporter Asks Kamala Harris ‘Will This Be The Most Expensive Christmas In History?’

"A reporter asked Vice President Kamala Harris on Friday if the current rates of inflation, which rose to 6.2 percent last month, are going to make the coming holiday season “the most expensive” in history, but she refused to directly answer." . . . One can take that as a yes.

Harris: Hey, did you know that prices have gone up?  "Now why would anyone think that Democrats have to find a way to boot Kamala Harris out of the way to compete in 2024? This performance at a Paris presser should make all Americans confident in this administration’s ability to deal with adversity … right? Er, not really, no. Just as Joe Biden did two days ago in trying to catch up with the anger over rising and obstinate inflation, Harris acts as though consumer pain just came to her attention.

"And acted flummoxed at the question over it to boot: . . ."

Joe is keeping her well under his control

Iran-Backed Group Trump Designated As “Terror Organization” Storms US Embassy and Is Holding Hostages...”Terror” Designation Was Removed When Biden Was Installed

 100%FedUp  "The Trump administration designated the Houthis as a terrorist organization, but that designation was removed when the Biden administration took office—a move that was seen as a goodwill gesture to coax Iran into diplomatic negotiations aimed at securing a revamped version of the 2015 nuclear accord."

"Yesterday, the Iran-backed, “not a terror group” Houthis took several hostages at the US Embassy in Yemen, and today, the US State Department is attempting to secure their release.

"Rep. Dan Crenshaw tweeted about the “awful” price America will pay for “showing weakness to our enemies.” His comment is likely in response to the disastrous withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan that was an international embarrassment to the United States of America." . . .Within a month of taking office, Joe Biden removed the Houthis from the terrorist watch list. This is the awful price of showing weakness to our enemies.

Iran-Backed Militants Storm US Embassy in Yemen, Seize Hostages and Equipment  . . ."The State Department confirmed to the Free Beacon that the Yemeni staffers are being detained without explanation and that the Iran-backed militants stole property after breaching the American facility in Sana'a, which housed U.S. embassy staff prior to the suspension of operations there in 2015.

"The United States has been unceasing in its diplomatic efforts to secure their release," a State Department spokesman told the Free Beacon. "The majority of the detained have been released, but the Houthis continue to detain additional Yemeni employees of the embassy."

"Those still being held are "detained without explanation and we call for their immediate release," the State Department spokesman said." . . .

Jihad Watch: These are the people Joe Biden’s handlers removed from the terror list.

CNN Considers Major Staff Shake-Up Amid Tanking Ratings: Report

I'd say just keep things as they are; I cannot trust the straight news from you because you cannot be trusted. The stories you choose to report or not to report are still selected by CNN which gave us Don Lemon and Chris Cuomo for years. TD

Jonathan Davis

"Left-wing news network CNN is reportedly considering a major shake-up of programming and personalities amid tanking ratings that saw none of its regular shows averaging even a million viewers per episode in October.

"While the network’s viewership has declined steadily since President Donald Trump left office, last month’s numbers were bad enough to trigger some major changes, according to a report.

"First, this from Fox News:

The only thing spookier than Halloween for CNN is the network’s freefalling viewership.  

"During the month of October, nearly every single program failed to average 1 million viewers, according to Nielsen data. This marks historic lows for the so-called “most trusted name in news.”

"The only two exceptions during the 31 days were the 90-minute Biden town hall, which still came in third place behind Fox News and MSNBC averaging only 1.2 million viewers, and the 30-minute “Cuomo Prime Time” that aired immediately after with 1.1 million." . . .

 …"Discovery chief David Zaslav – who is widely expected to assume stewardship of CNN after its merger with WarnerMedia is complete – has kept his public comments on the failing news network close [to] the vest. When asked by Deadline what he thinks will happen with honcho Jeff Zucker, Zaslav said “Jeff’s a good friend and I like him a lot.' ”

What makes MSNBC acceptable with people like Nicolle Wallace, Joe Scarborough, and the vehement Joy Reid who is the very definition of a racist?  

Tony Branco

Remember the "mostly peaceful" Ali Velshi of MSNBC, who brought us reports of the "mostly peaceful" burning of Minneapolis? 

Why would CNN refer to the arsonists as "'a merry caravan"?

On Kyle Rittenhouse

 CBS News Falsely Claims Rittenhouse 'Told the Jury He Murdered Two Men'  "Network slammed for pushing fabricated claims about teen's testimony"

The real villains in the Rittenhouse trial  . . ."As crazy as this sounds, much of the media and most of the Democrat party agree with the prosecutors.  The real villains in this case are the public authorities who allowed rioters to wreak havoc unopposed for three nights in Kenosha in response to the shooting of Jacob Blake, a police action that was ultimately deemed justifiable.  While watching the video of the destruction, one has to wonder: why weren't police and firemen there protecting Kenosha?" . . .

Rittenhouse Team Slams Joe Biden for Smearing Teen as 'White Supremacist'  "The ad used images of Rittenhouse and falsely implies is a “white supremacist.”  Biden shared the ad on social media with a suggestion that he would stand up against Rittenhouse and "white supremacy." . . .  How many have actually thought Biden's word on this had credibility?

Tulsi Gabbard: Rittenhouse Not a 'White Supremacist,' He Wanted to 'Protect People'  "With no evidence, MSM & antifa-loving politicians immediately labeled Rittenhouse a white supremacist terrorist. It’s obvious now that he was just a foolish kid who felt he needed to protect people & the community from rioters & arsonists because the government failed to do so.". . .

The cohost of the far-left news show "The Young Turks," Ana Kasparian, has admitted that the anti-Kyle Rittenhouse narrative being peddled by America's left-wing establishment media is false.

All He Had Was a Handgun . . ."The rioting predictably followed the mayor’s ordering a standdown of police and rescue teams and the governor’s failure to order in the state National Guard. It’s impossible to choose the worst of the bumbling questions Kyle was asked, but perhaps my favorite was this, respecting the shooting in the arm of a Craig Grosskreutz who held a gun to his head: “All he had was a handgun. why did you think that was a threat?” I take it the prosecutor John Binder never had a gun held to his head. Had I, I certainly would have considered it life-threatening." . . .   (Emphasis mine, TD)

The mother of Kyle Rittenhouse suggested Saturday that her attorneys are considering a lawsuit against President Joe Biden for allegedly associating her son with white supremacy.   . . . "During an interview on Fox News' "Fox & Friends," Wendy Rittenhouse was asked if the Rittenhouse team plans to take any action against powerful Americans — including Biden — for "interfering in the justice system" and "defaming" the 18-year-old Rittenhouse.

"The elder Rittenhouse had a six word response.

" 'Our lawyers are gonna handle that," Wendy Rittenhouse responded." . . . Video.

. . ."When I saw that, I was shocked," she said. "I was angry. President Biden don't know my son whatsoever, and he's not a white supremacist. He's not a racist. And [Biden] did that for the votes. And I was so angry for a while at him and what he did to my son. He defamed him."
