Fox Dominates, as MSNBC Plummets to Its Lowest Ratings in Over 20 Years

 RedState  "It’s been a bad week for some of the more notorious, left-leaning media outlets. The Washington Post is seemingly on fire, CNN is openly hinting that it might be axing some of its liberal news hosts, and MSNBC just hit a 23-year ratings low in the key demographic of adults aged 25-54. There’s even more bad news for CNN this week, though."Seems like people are getting sick of what they’re selling.". . .

. . ."“At 8pm ET on an ordinary night, Fox News has more than 3 million viewers, while Fox Business has under 100,000,” Stelter tweeted. “That pretty much says it all about Fox’s priorities.”

"This is a ridiculous take even from him. He just dunked on his own argument—why would you risk 3 million Tucker Carlson viewers to air a committee hearing, when we already saw that show in the second impeachment trial? It’s brilliant observations like these that have spawned rumors that Stetler is soon to go the way of CNN+."My colleague Jeff Charles reports that CNN is trying to do an about-face and return to unbiased reporting in an effort to boost sagging ratings and plunging credibility—but that it may be too late.

"The numbers tell us what we already knew—America’s mainstream media has been failing us. They’re entirely too biased; they advocate censorship of views they don’t like, and they often outright lie. While Fox’s dominance is nothing new, and ratings for CNN and MSNBC have been falling for a while now, they—like Joe Biden’s approval numbers—just can’t seem to find the bottom. America’s viewers are getting smarter, and simply turning the channel.". . .

Capitol Riot Apologists Go Unpunished as Memories of Horror Fade

Bloomberg

Congress plans televised hearings on the Capitol attack but voters have forgotten. They’ve been rewarding election deniers.

“I really think politically it's a dead issue for most voters,” said Representative Guy Reschenthaler, a Pennsylvania Republican. “There's immediate problems they're facing. Kitchen table issues. And that's what I'm picking up when I'm back in the district. Literally no one is talking to me about Jan. 6.”

. . ."As Congress prepares for a series of televised hearings on the assault starting Thursday, polls show the Republican party is on track to make big gains in midterm elections despite fielding candidates who embrace the false narrative of election fraud that fueled the riot and shun efforts to investigate the attack.

Much of that is driven by the highest inflation in 40 years, soaring gasoline prices and President Joe Biden’s slumping approval ratings. But in some of the early primary races, candidates who dispute the presidential election outcome are winning Republican primaries. Doug Mastriano, who won the party’s nomination for Pennsylvania governor in a landslide, attended the rally that preceded the riot and has called for decertifying the state’s 2020 election results. Representative Ted Budd of North Carolina, who voted against certifying Biden’s election, beat a well-known former governor for the Senate nomination by more than 30 percentage points. Other candidates, including in key races in Georgia, were defeated by opponents who defended the vote counting in their state.

“The fact that it wasn’t a game-changing moment is pretty remarkable,” Julian Zelizer, a Princeton University presidential historian, said. “It’s historically pretty hard to believe.”. . .

Sussmann, Hillary still bulletproof

Hillary Clinton lawyer acquitted in Durham probe — The Hill

But Durham has provided little evidence to support Trump’s claims of a wide-ranging political conspiracy against him, and Tuesday’s verdict further undermines the former president’s case.

John Durham Never Stood a Chance

As Tuesday’s ruling makes clear, my concerns were more than valid. Yet, it appears that my critique was actually mild. Johnathan Turley noted on Fox News over a week after I wrote my piece that the jury also included an Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez donor and the parent of a child who played on the same sports team as Sussmann’s child.

 Clinton Advisor Found Hanging From Tree With Shotgun Blast to Chest  "59-year-old Mark Middleton, prominently known as an advisor to the Clintons, was discovered hanging from a tree with an extension cord around his neck.

"Middleton also had a shotgun wound to the chest. His death was classified as a suicide.

"Despite the fact a family lawsuit claims he “died by suicide,” there are major questions circulating about his death.

"It’s rumored that Middleton played a key role in strengthening the friendship between Clinton and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

"Originally from Little Rock, Arkansas, Middleton was found dead about 30 miles away from his home.

"In the 1990s, he served as a special assistant to former President Bill Clinton. Middleton reportedly helped admit Epstein into the White House on at least seven of the 17 occasions Epstein visited during Clinton’s tenure.". . .

If I were to write a dystopian novel…

You know utopian is the opposite of dystopian, don't you?

Terry Paulding

We get profoundly dangerous neighborhoods in which people routinely attack one another, strife fomented between ethnic groups and, concurrently with the vilification of the police, loss of the means for control. Police are to be “fried like bacon.” Why should they defend us citizens, if we are attacked!

. . ."These beings are masters of subtlety, at least for the first 80 or so years. But then, they up their game, because their planet is endangered, and not going to last much longer. They accelerate their manipulations, seeding the natural tendencies of earth beings to enhance greed in certain chosen people, while others get paranoia and violence. They can’t affect every single being, but they’re strategic, infiltrating governments, media, and institutions of higher learning so that, eventually, all of society is affected as the educated become teachers to the youth, the televisions blare the media message, and the government starts down the destructive path on which we now find ourselves.

"Their plan works perfectly. Society starts to crumble, just as the beings wanted.

"The plot is complex—these beings are very smart, capable of multi-tasking, and quite motivated to be ruthless. They take so many seemingly disparate actions, none of us earthlings can ever see the whole. Some people are fed delusions of grandeur, while deliberately made stupid enough to create nothing but chaos, destruction, and failure. Wrong thought becomes normal and the compulsion to destroy is given power and glory, under the guise of saving the earth.

"If we are made to think that we are destroying our planet, it acts as great cover—everyone is guilt-tripped, self-doubting, worried, and preoccupied. All the better to destroy our defenses against the coming invasion. We believe we are destroying the earth by populating it—hence the rationale for easy abortion, our lower impetus to procreate, and the now swarming masses migrating from one country to another, sowing ill-health, changing demographics, and stressing systems that have stood for centuries.". . .

Voters in San Francisco topple the city’s progressive district attorney, Chesa Boudin

 NY Times

Locally, the resounding recall suggested that many in San Francisco’s Democratic hierarchy are out of step with — and further left than — the city’s voters, one of the most liberal electorates in the country.

These people must dwell in safety under Boudin

"Voters in San Francisco on Tuesday put an end to one of the country’s most pioneering experiments in criminal justice reform, ousting a district attorney who eliminated cash bail, vowed to hold police accountable and worked to reduce the number of people sent to prison.

"Chesa Boudin, the progressive district attorney, was removed after two and a half years in office, according to The Associated Press, in a vote that is set to reverberate through Democratic politics nationwide as the party fine-tunes its messaging on crime before midterm elections that threaten to strip Democratic control over Congress.

"Early returns showed 60 percent of voters in the city approving of the recall.

"Ultimately the election was a contest between progressive Democrats who saw Mr. Boudin as a key leader of a national movement to address mass incarceration and a backlash by more politically moderate San Franciscans — a coalition of Democrats, independents and Republicans — who grew agitated by persistent property crimes and open drug use during the pandemic. The backlash won." . . .

In San Francisco, voters give Chesa Boudin, a Soros D.A., the boot  "In 2019, Chesa Boudin openly campaigned on a hard-left, soft-on-crime platform—and got elected as San Francisco’s chief prosecutor. On Tuesday, San Francisco voters gave him the boot, having discovered that the reality of hard-left governance is much less appealing than the theory and promises."

And yesterday, Tuesday, June 7, Chesa finally had to face the music for the damage he’s done to the quality of life in San Francisco: 61% of San Francisco voters said “yes” to the recall measure.. . .

WaPo Slammed For Blatantly Unethical Journalism, Decides To Address Twitter Joke Instead

“Lorenz is one of the most inept, reckless and unethical reporters ever at a major paper. But this framework prevails: criticizing her means you’re a misogynistic bully; defending her is how liberal male journalists prove they’re Good Allies.”   Glenn Greenwald 

"Once upon a time, The Washington Post was a credible news and investigative journalism organization. In fact, they broke the Watergate story back in the day. But they are no longer a credible news and investigative journalism organization. Now, they are simply partisan propaganda hacks who prioritize agenda and narrative over truth and objectivity. And the last few days have been a barrage of firsthand anecdotal evidence of this fact, with numerous people laying out the evidence of WaPo’s complete lack of journalistic ethics and morals. Blatant lies, carefully manipulated and edited information, insufficient corrections, stealthy edits after publication, and so much more. And as The Washington Post is at the center of a number of stories on the subject of their amorality and unethical journalism, how do they respond? By very publicly reprimanding and suspending a reporter who retweeted a joke they deemed to be “sexist” about how “Every girl is bi, you just have to figure out if it’s polar or sexual.”

"Ladies and gentlemen, The Washington Post’s priorities. Horrifying breaches of journalistic integrity, ethics, and morals are no big thing, but how dare you retweet a joke about women, sexuality, and mental health! Here’s a quick rundown of how it’s been for The Washington Post the last couple of days.

"On June 4th, Glenn Greenwald posted a Twitter thread about how “The Washington Post has now been caught publishing multiple lies as part of the Lorenz article.” Here is the thread from Greenwald for reference. It’s well worth a read.

"WPost has now been caught publishing multiple lies as part of the Lorenz article. I don’t mean reckless errors: there were many. I mean blatant lies.

"But because Lorenz is a symbol of media liberalism, reporters will rank-close to defend her, then wonder why nobody trusts them." Glenn Greenwald
