This Isn’t The FIRST Time NYTimes Buried A Story That Made Nazis Look Bad…

 

"Big Media has tricks that can make concealing a story look like reporting it"

Wes Walker

"In a slate of horrifyingly bad leftwing candidates, the others ought to be thanking the Maine Kampf guy for running cover for the rest of them.

"We’ve got Texas Talirico Larping as a Christian Minister while spouting off more like a creepy cult leader. We’ve got Adam Hamawy in New Jersy whose got connections to not only the Blind Sheik, more commonly known as the mastermind behind 9/11, but he also served in a Bosnian front group for Al Qaeda.

"The more you look at the Democrat bench, the worse it gets.

"It’s anybody’s guess whether this was a deliberate play or just a crazy happenstance, but Platner has a new scandal every week, and it’s all anyone wants to talk about these days. Even the New York Times is in on it. But… they’re not sharing the negative press in exactly the same way that hostile news sources (from both the right AND the left) are sharing.

"It’s being alleged by the Daily Caller that the New York Times is working hard to run cover for the would-be senator with the Nazi Tattoo." . .

The Times’s goal here was not to fairly give hearing to allegations against Platner; it was to play Fifield for a sucker, give her story just enough air that the Democrat Party’s cretin media and consultant class could zero in on it and crus

. . . "But Graham Platner isn’t a NAZI, some might argue. He’s said it himself — he’s a Communist.

Let’s play along with that line of argument a little. What has the track record of the Times been with actual communists?

The New York Times is looking to add to its list of 132 Pulitzer Prizes — by far the most of any news organization — when the 2022 recipients for journalism are announced on Monday.

Yet the war in Ukraine has renewed questions of whether the Times should return a Pulitzer awarded 90 years ago for work by Walter Duranty, its charismatic chief correspondent in the Soviet Union.

. . . "“He is the personification of evil in journalism,” says Oksana Piaseckyj, a Ukrainian-American activist who came to the U.S. as a child refugee in 1950. She is among the advocates for the return of the award. “We think he was like the originator of fake news.” — NPR, May 2022    More...

Jim Crow and the Cost of Crying Wolf

"Every time Democrats want to shut down a policy debate, they reach for the same emergency brake."

American Thinker 

 Cry Jim Crow too often, and the public starts hearing static.  Then when a real injustice appears, the language has already been spent.  There’s nothing left to cash in. 

"Every time Democrats want to shut down a policy debate, they reach for the same emergency brake: Jim Crow.  Voter ID?  Jim Crow.  Eligibility checks?  Jim Crow.  The SAVE America Act — which does nothing more than require proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections — earned the “Jim Crow 2.0” label from Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer earlier this year.  Asking whether taxpayers are financing fraud?  Somehow, Jim Crow again.

"When a political party turns a genuine historical wound into a routine talking point, the public eventually stops listening.  That’s the boy who cried wolf, except in modern Washington, the wolf is usually a pollster, and the villagers have smartphones.

"Jim Crow was real, brutal, and uniquely evil.  It was the legal architecture of racial segregation and disenfranchisement enforced by Southern Democrats after Reconstruction — literacy tests, poll taxes, violence.  Rep. Wesley Hunt, a Black Republican from Texas, laid out the distinction during a House Judiciary Committee hearing last week: “Jim Crow was a time when Black Americans could not sit in classrooms with white Americans.  It was colored-only water fountains; it was beatings in the streets; it was lynchings.”  His father had to enter a New Orleans restaurant through the back door because of the color of his skin.  Comparing that to showing a photo ID at the polls is not just historically wrong — it’s an insult to everyone who endured the real thing.

"A Pew Research Center survey from August 2025 found that 83 percent of Americans support requiring photo ID to vote — including 71 percent of Democrats, 76 percent of black respondents, and 82 percent of Hispanic respondents.  CNN’s Jake Tapper cited those numbers to Schumer on air.  Schumer kept going.  Even Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) broke ranks: “I would never refer to the SAVE Act as, like, Jim Crow 2.0 or some kind of mass conspiracy.”  When your party’s most prominent dissenter won’t echo your line, the line has collapsed.

"The trouble with reflexive alarm-pulling is that credibility is a finite asset.  The villagers in Aesop’s fable didn’t become cynics overnight.  They just got tired of being fooled.  Repetition killed the warning.  That same dynamic plays out every time a serious civil-rights framework gets borrowed to describe a modest administrative requirement.  Once the public senses the alarm is rung for effect — not because a real fire exists — trust starts to evaporate.  And when trust goes, so does the capacity to mobilize people around anything that actually matters." . . .

LA: Who’s Surprised?

"Los Angeles is at a tipping point. If there is a majority of such progressive voters, then Los Angeles will continue its descent into the abyss to which there is no bottom."   Whitson G. Waldo, III

LA: Who’s Surprised? - American Thinker   "The results of the Los Angeles mayoral primary are disappointing to the rest of America but unsurprising. It appears the voters of that great American city are satisfied with surpassing malgovernance as long as the mayor has a (D) behind his or her name.

"Karen Bass apparently won a plurality of the votes counted so far. Of course, this is a Blue City, so votes will continue to be counted until the correct result is achieved. Distress comes from realizing that if all the votes for the even more extreme progressive Nithya Raman were added to Bass’s then a majority results.

"The only good news is that Spencer Pratt looks likely to make it to the runoff with Bass. This despite voting irregularities already discovered. For example, almost 13,000 votes were counted containing nearly zero votes for Pratt. Considering that an early report had Pratt with a quarter of the vote, this is a statistically suspicious result. Don’t expect any further investigation by authorities suspecting criminal behavior.

"Karen Bass has presided over the decline of Los Angeles for almost four years. Fortunately, considering the apparent ignorance and stupidity of the voters, she can be re-elected only once. But, it would be best if she were single-termed." . . . More...

Californians Deserve Better Than Endless, Fraud-Prone Vote Counting – Issues & Insights   "President Donald Trump has been having a field day with the agonizingly slow vote count in California’s primary.

“The Dumocrats are at it again!” he posted Thursday on Truth Social. “They are trying to STEAL THE GOVERNOR OF CALIFORNIA PRIMARY, AND THE MAYOR OF LOS ANGELES, PRIMARY, AWAY FROM TWO GREAT REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES.”

"Which, of course, set off a frenzy of “Trump lies” responses from Democrats and the press.

"But even if Trump is wrong about fraud, he’s right to complain about this laughably inept process." . . .

From Pete Wilson’s California to One-Party Decline: Steve Hilton’s Poll Lead Gives Me Hope   . . . "This decline did not happen by accident. It is the predictable result of expansive government, regulatory overload, and a refusal to hold individuals accountable. As someone with a career in financial services, I have seen firsthand how policies that punish success and reward dependency erode prosperity.

"Meanwhile, Governor Gavin Newsom has been jet-setting around the world like a rock star on a farewell tour, telling international audiences that President Trump is “temporary.” This is the same governor who lectured Californians on strict COVID lockdowns and masking rules while he attended a lavish, maskless dinner party at the exclusive French Laundry restaurant with lobbyists and donors during the height of the pandemic." . . .

MS Now Reporters Admitted They Had No Date, No Name, and No Proof Before Publishing a Story About Kash Patel’s Girlfriend

Deplorable Daily 

"Carol Leonnig is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who spent 25 years at the Washington Post before joining MS Now – the network that spent four straight years telling you Trump was a Russian asset, that the Steele Dossier was credible, that collusion was real."

"MSNBC spent years running anonymous source stories that turned out to be lies.

Now they rebranded as MS Now – and apparently brought the playbook with them.

A federal judge in Nashville is about to find out exactly what Carol Leonnig and Ken Dilanian actually knew before they published this one.

The Story Had No Security Detail and No Drunk Friend Because Neither Existed

The December 5, 2025, MS Now article was titled "Kash Patel ordered FBI detail to give girlfriend's pal a lift home: sources."

Three anonymous sources told Leonnig and Dilanian that Patel – on multiple occasions – ordered agents from his girlfriend's security detail to drive her intoxicated friend home after nights of partying in Nashville.

There was one problem with this story.

Alexis Wilkins didn't have a security detail at the time." . . 

None of it happened.

MS Now president Rebecca Kutler issued a statement saying she stands behind the reporting.

She stands behind a story whose reporters couldn't name a date, couldn't name a friend, and described a security detail that didn't exist yet." . . ".More...
