You Can’t Hate the Media Enough

 You Can’t Hate the Media Enough 

"Nick Shirley was just a “YouTuber” who posted a viral video and they offered very little examination of the content of that video. Why? Because when reality does no favors for Democrats, they simply ignore it. 

  . . . "How many “journalists,” upon seeing the original video about fraud in the Minnesota welfare system committed by Somalis, set out to report on the substance of the story versus how many reports did you see of reporters calling Nick Shirley’s reporting at “a viral video” or “a right-wing blogger”? 

"You could tell Nick was over the target by how the leftist corporate media shuffled through their typical playbook for anything that makes Democrats look bad. First, they ignore it. When it becomes too big to ignore, they attack it. When the attacks don’t work, they downplay it. When that doesn’t work, they declare it’s not a scandal because everyone does it. 

"They ignored Shirley until they could no longer do it – tens of millions of views online for a basic story even a dimwitted Democrat could understand tends to do that." . . .  More...

Joe Rogan Hammers Gavin Newsom for Mocking Citizen Journalist Nick Shirley: 'He's Doing Your Job, Uncovering Fraud'

"Consequently, Newsom was seen mocking Shirley on social media. Rogan, though, found the mocking to be inappropriate and insisted that a state governor should be happy that fraud and criminality is uncovered in his state so that he can prosecute it and clean it up."   Media loves Gav the Gov.

"Goldberg soldiers on, suggesting that some of the fringe characters she is citing on the right will eventually be the face of the Republican party, while glossing over the new mayor of New York City and his wife, who are now considered darlings of the Democrat left." . . .

Islam; the choice of New Yorkers

 May we assume Columbia U. people love Mamdani as the catalyst of their new culture? TD


NYC's First Lady Exposed Approving of Suicide Attack Propaganda, Plane Hijackers, and Outrageous Attacks on US Troops | The Gateway Pundit | by Samuel Short, The Western Journal  . . . "Mamdani has had his own controversies.

"Earlier this month, he attended an iftar — a breaking of the Ramadan fast — hosted by the Fire Department of New York Islamic Society.

"The event created a stir when Muslim prayer mats were placed in front of a memorial for firefighters who lost their lives in 9/11." . . .

‘Caliph’ Mamdani breaks Ramadan fast with violent Muslim criminals at Rikers Island prison  . . . “We clearly know he doesn’t like us. He’s already made his stance clear on that. Even after we get clear extensive video of the guy trying to knife the police officers in Queens, he visited the criminal’s family in that case too!,” raged the police veteran. He was referring to Mamdani last month visiting the family of Jabez Chakraborty, the man shot by a police officer in Queens as he attacked the cop and his partner with a 13-inch carving knife." . . .

MUST SEE! “New York, New York” Comrade Mamdani’s lawless, Islamofascist city that never sleeps   . . . "However, a former Muslim, Danny Burmawi, explained that this is primarily a tool for asserting political dominance rather than fulfilling religious devotion.  “As long as Islam is categorized as a religion, exclusively a religion, then there’s nothing New Yorkers can do.”

"Burmawi believes these broadcasts from mosques should be compared to if communists broadcast political messages through loudspeakers, which are not allowed in New York City neighborhoods. Many are asking what can be done to ensure most New Yorkers can live their lives in peace, without being disturbed by the Muslim call to prayer.
Burmawi believes the answer will not come from their new mayor, who is both a Muslim and a declared Democratic Socialist." . . .  Watch Burmawi speak.

. . . "In the Italian city of Turin — with the help of local government and the Catholic Church — public and ecclesiastical spaces are being taken over by Muslims celebrating the end of Ramadan with mass prayer.

"This is “Interfaith” in action. In the same way, Christians can go to Mecca or Riyadh and celebrate Easter in public spaces, right? Right?

"Just try it and see what happens. '

Petition seeks to rename San Fran’s Cesar Chavez Street for Chuck Norris

 Greg Richter - American Thinker


OK, so that’s not the best Chuck Norris joke ever written. But one San Francisco firefighter and former candidate for District 7 supervisor isn’t kidding around with his petition to rename the city’s Cesar Chavez Street as Chuck Norris Boulevard.

Stephen Martin-Pinto posted the effort to his X account, including renderings of the current street sign bearing the name of the actor and martial arts expert, who died last week at age 86.

"The legacy of Chavez, the labor leader who died in the early 1990s, has come under fire in recent days as allegations of sexual misconduct involving women and young girls have emerged. His name is ubiquitous across California on school buildings, parades and elsewhere, but efforts have quickly been launched to distance institutions from Chavez amid the allegations.

"Still, a proudly liberal city like San Francisco is unlikely to embrace renaming the street for Norris, who backed conservative and Christian causes and supported President Donald Trump. And the closest tie he appears to have had to the city was his 1974 martial-arts film Slaughter in San Francisco.

"Unlike Norris, Chavez had an established civic footprint in San Francisco: the city renamed Army Street for him in 1995, and for years also honored him with a parade, a school, and a student center — even if his strongest personal ties were elsewhere in California." . . .

Bad war coverage, bad ratings - TV audiences down 42% from the Persian Gulf War

Don Surber  

"It is not that the television shows today are terrible bad. They are horribly bad. Especially the news. Instead of dumping reporters, dump the panelists."


Western Lensman: “They’re attempting to turn their anchors into on-air podcasters. Things are getting desperate over at CNN.”
"The second-biggest loser in Operation Epic Fury is the American news media. The demolition of Iran’s military saw no major spike in TV news show ratings—in part because the attack began in the wee hours of a Saturday morning, but mainly it was due to the failure of TV news to retain its credibility as a reliable and impartial source of information
"When the workweek began on March 2, TV evening news ratings rose slightly for the week. ABC’s World News Tonight averaged 8.901 million viewers a night, NBC Nightly News averaged 6.898 million, and CBS Evening News averaged 4.117 million.
"The next week viewership dropped.
"ABC averaged 8.478 million viewers a night, NBC averaged 6.514 million, and CBS averaged 3.845 million total viewers. CBS managed to have a smaller viewership than it did a year ago. The audiences for the other two were up slightly.
"Bari Weiss is worth every penny they pay her—if she makes minimum wage.
"Elon Musk, meanwhile, said X broke a record in engagements on the first day of Epic Fury, a record users broke the next day.
"These audiences pale compared to the Persian Gulf War.
"35 years ago, when the Persian Gulf War began, ABC alone drew 13 million viewers.
"In all, the big three networks drew more than 32 million viewers with CNN adding another 10.8 million viewers." . . .More...
