CNN reporter brutally heckled after being forced out of the White House and into the streets with MS NOW and Politico

Daily Mail Online  "Klein told anchor Kasie Hunt that their team had asked for clarity on the ban as a heckler interrupted, 'Tell the truth! If you tell the truth, then you won't get revoked. Tell the truth!' 

"She continued with her coverage and ignored the snide comment. Gardner also reported from outside the grounds on Saturday morning and said a security guard told her that her badge was disabled.". . . 

"ITEM 1: I thought I found where Alissa Heinerscheid, former VP of Marketing for Bud Light, works now.

The Major Mistakes MSNBC Made in Its Transition to MS NOW - Barrett Media

Humiliated MS NOW Reporter Forced to Report From the Street After Trump Ban

"Additionally, Holder's team seized the records of reporters at Fox News and the Associated Press (AP). The AP reporters – 20 of them – had their phone records subpoenaed through their providers, something they claimed at the time was a “massive and unprecedented intrusion” into news-gathering operations." 

Ali Velshi of MSNBC says nothing to see Here: Peaceful Protest

"An MS NOW White House correspondent was denied entry to the complex Saturday after her press badge failed at a security checkpoint. The episode came one day after President Donald Trump announced he was banning CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from White House grounds over what he called "fake news."

"Akayla Gardner, who has been covering the administration since August of last year and previously reported for Bloomberg News, said an officer told her the credential had been disabled and confiscated it.

She tried to enter despite knowing the President had announced the ban on her legacy media network. And although she made it through the first two gates to the grounds, the third was a different story.

"Once I was inside where we have magnetometers, I attempted to scan my badge, which we have to do in able to get into the White House grounds," she said. "It did not work. There was a red beeping light."

"And so the officer asked me to hand over my badge. He said that it was disabled. I asked why I was not able to get inside. He said it was above him," added Gardner.

The reporter explained that her producer got past the security apparatus, but she and a photographer had their badges confiscated.

"This is the first action we know of, of them actually denying us entry into the White House."

MSNBC allstars doing their form of "Journalism"

The administration's rapid response team hilariously countered CNN's claims by listing a plethora of provably false narratives pushed by the once-respected network.

NBC vs. the Holdout Juror

Desperate for ratings, an NBC-owned TV station crusades against a hero

Don Surber 

"Consider AOC. She got away with saying there were 10 lynchings of black people this year. The media repeated her without context. X did not. It added a community note to her tweet."

The harpies at NBC10 (WBTS) in Boston have the name, rank and serial number of the juror who believed Lindsay Clancy when she said she killed her children. The outlet is owned and operated by NBC. Station personnel have no legal right to know his name and in fact, may have violated the law in obtaining the name.

Nevertheless, NBC10 is airing a string of stories about his divorce and his financial woes in an effort to discredit him.

The station is going after the juror because his refusal to go-along-to-get-along and acquit her is unpopular among the liberals who dominate the area. The station’s management is using the juror to attract viewers and advertisers to the station’s broadcasts.

NBC10 is usually last in the ratings among the five English-language local newsrooms behind WCVB (ABC), WHDH (independent), WBZ (CBS) and WFXT (Fox) in that order—and has been fifth in this five-channel race since 2017.

Oh, I am sure the reporters going after the man believe they are heroes in their crusade to expose a private citizen who did his duty and served on a jury. Wait, since 9/11, journalists no longer call themselves crusading journalists. They say investigative reporters instead.

Besides, exposing the hero’s record just may be the ticket out of Beantown to network stardom.

"But the station is undermining the integrity of the judiciary. Far from being helpful, in Boston, NBC10’s freedom of the press is doing serious damage to our country

"NBC10 should not know the juror’s name because the judge impounded the list of the names of jurors. His fellow jurors likely ratted him out. The station justifies its use of his name and its unethical attacks on his reputation by saying, well, at least we’re not disclosing his name.

"But we are hearing only one side of the story." . . . More.

"Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said, “A man objected to allowing a woman to kill her three young kids and get away with it, so NBC is trying to smear that juror, whose identity should be protected. Another low for legacy media."

We must recall that NBC was once the famous MSNBC; now MSNOW. TD 

Women Should Rally Around Erika Kirk Instead Of Lindsay Clancy UPDATED

Shawn Fleetwood  

This spiritual sickness isn’t going to be cured overnight. It’s a deeply embedded societal infection that’s going to require men and women of faith to step up and fight the battles that matter when they matter. And sometimes that starts with just saying “no” in the face of evil — even if it means standing alone. 

"American women far and wide are rallying together to support one of their own. This woman, they say, has suffered immensely and deserves the public’s utmost compassion. According to them, she is both a victim and a shining symbol of bravery and courage in the face of adversity.

"The female these women are talking about is not Erika Kirk, the widow of conservative icon Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated one year ago on Thursday. Rather, they’re referring to Lindsay Clancy, the Massachusetts woman recently on trial for killing her three young children in cold blood.

"It all sounds completely ridiculous and downright evil because it is. And yet, that’s the reality we find ourselves living in.

"All across the nation, these Real Housewives of TikTok and Clancy truthers are running to Clancy’s defense, demanding that she be declared innocent for a horrendous crime she doesn’t deny. They tell us that she is the real victim; that it’s actually her husband’s fault; and a host of other excuses needed to convince themselves that the woman with blood on her hands deserves to walk free.

"And if you thought this diseased mentality wouldn’t find its way into our justice system, think again.

"Since the case was declared a mistrial due to disagreement among the jury, three Clancy jurors — all middle-aged white women — have come forward to tell their side of the story on camera. And wouldn’t you know that one of their main objectives has been to attack the lone juror (a man) who reportedly refused to let Clancy off for her evil acts." . . . More.

Cop involved in George Floyd saga reveals deeply chilling secret

 Revolver News  

"Minneapolis officials were desperate to stop the city from burning down to the ground. Dems were turning Floyd into a global political symbol and cashing in on it like never before. Corporate America had also placed its bets on Saint Floyd."

"The death of George Floyd became such an absurd political commandment.

"Within minutes, the media had settled on its cast of characters. They had their martyr, its villain, supporting cast of bad guys, and a well-crafted version of events that Americans were expected to accept without any question whatsoever. And thanks to this media and leftwing narrative, cities burned to the ground, shameless politicians, city officials, and Hollywood celebs took a knee, US corporations flooded the racial-victimhood industry with billions of dollars, and Derek Chauvin was declared a cold-blooded murderer way before the jury ever walked into the courtroom.

"It was an absolutely insane circus, with this dangerous edge that no one could stop.

"But one thing we can say with complete sincerity is this… we never believed justice was served.

"We believe Chauvin became the patsy in a political free-for-all that had no room for reasonable doubt, medical complexity, police training, or evidence that might interfere with the narrative that was racing around the world, like an Olympic gold-medal runner.

"Yes, the photos looked horrible. But a disturbing picture shouldn’t be used in place of medical records, a fair examination of police procedure, or an honest trial. But it was, and Chauvin and his fellow officers never stood a chance against a mouth-foaming mob.

"But the evidence was never as “clean” as the media pretended it was.

"The official Hennepin County autopsy ruled Floyd’s death a homicide and listed the cause as cardiopulmonary arrest. Chauvin didn’t murder him. In addition, that same report also listed arteriosclerotic and hypertensive heart disease, fentanyl intoxication, and recent methamphetamine use as significant conditions that led to this death. The medical examiner also made clear that classifying a death as a “homicide” is a medical determination, not a legal finding of criminal guilt.

"Again, the autopsy didn’t declare that Chauvin murdered Floyd, quite the opposite, actually." . . .More...

How we know Americans will have to pay reparations:  When our national leaders kneel for George Floyd out of fear that the supporters of Maxine Waters, Jasmine Crockett, Al Green, and many other Democrats will burn our cities down.

Fauci’s Private Diary Contradicts His Public Claims

 Victor Davis Hanson

"He’s the most important famous man in the nation, maybe the world, on and on and on. It’s just unfiltered egomania unchecked. He’s also unscientific. Remember, he told us that, “I remain the science.'” 

"By the time you hear this, Anthony Fauci has testified before Rand Paul’s senatorial committee, and he’s going to be extensively cross-examined. Why now? Because Anthony Fauci had come under a lot of controversy for his role as Donald Trump’s unofficial COVID czar between 2020 and ’21, and Joe Biden’s czar from ’21 all the way up to the end of the Biden term, and he had communicated through emails, but he was very careful usually to say, “Erase this email,” or not to be candid. 

"But for some reason, he kept a diary, and he did so on government files, government property. It was very hard to find. It was on 11 different servers. But Rand Paul’s team compiled some 1,100 pages since 2019, right on the eve of the COVID pandemic, and it is completely at odds with what he was telling you, the public, telling the President of the United States, and telling colleagues in the scientific community. 

"What does one learn about Anthony Fauci? I must say at the beginning, it is kind of unfair to expose someone’s inner thoughts. I’ve never kept a diary, but I suppose that people who do vent sometimes, they exaggerate, they let off steam, and we don’t know to what effect he was doing that, but we do have an incriminating record written by Fauci himself. 

"He is a narcissist. While 9,000 to 10,000 people are dying a day, he’s talking about whether he’s going to be eating with Jake Tapper that night. That’s against Fauci’s own rules of social distancing and in-house quarantine. You can’t go out. Remember, you couldn’t go out for Thanksgiving or Christmas. 

"And like Gavin Newsom and like Nancy Pelosi, we see the architects of these policies. Fauci, in particular, is violating them. But he talks about all the awards he could get, how he could angle to get a million here, five hundred thousand there, what type of exemption he could get, how wonderful he was on CNN or MSNBC, how Trump is impressed by him. 

"He’s the most important famous man in the nation, maybe the world, on and on and on. It’s just unfiltered egomania unchecked. He’s also unscientific. Remember, he told us that, “I remain the science.” But in his own admission, he calls in 12 expert virologists, and he asks them, given the genetic imprint of the SARS-2 virus, where did this come from? " . . .More...

Fifth Amendment Fauci’s Narcissism Destroyed Faith in Scientific Methodology | The American Spectator

Rand Paul had published Fauci’s pandemic-era diary with the writer declaring Fauci “was spending part of his time cataloguing his own growing fame with the excitement of a child star who had been asked to sign an autograph for the first time,” calling it “embarrassing to an excruciating degree.” It speaks volumes that his home office in 2022 was shown with a huge portrait of him, plus two separate images … and a Fauci bobblehead.

The Dumb, Arrogant Liars Who Are Also Journalists - American Thinker 

"Together, the Russia Collusion Hoax and the Reign of COVID Tyranny proved just how monstrously dishonest mainstream “journalists” really are.  There is nothing too preposterous for them to present as “truth” if doing so advances their preferred political narrative."  

. . . [Fauci's] lies were profound, and because mainstream news institutions refused to . question anything he said, his lies were the only bits of information allowed to circulate in the public sphere.  So-called “journalists” not only repeated verbatim exactly what the government’s chief medical bureaucrat claimed to be true but also cheered social media platforms for censoring competing points of view.  “Reporters” working for The New York Times and CNN were enthralled by Fauci’s perceived professional prestige and institutional authority.  Why?  Because they are enamored of their own perceived professional prestige and institutional authority.  They worship glory and accolades; they are slaves to appeals to authority; they care nothing for the pursuit of truth.

Bing

This is why so many “journalists” jumped to defend Fauci’s honor after his embarrassing refusal to say anything truthful.  MSNOW’s Lawrence O’Donnell insisted that the dishonorable doc had “done more in service to this country than…the entire current United States Senate combined.”  CNN’s Jake Tapper pretended that he wasn’t having dinner parties with Fauci while the rest of America was kept in lockdown and isolation.  And CNN “media analyst” Brian Stelter continued to ignore how both Jake Tapper and Dana Bash developed unethical personal relationships with Fauci while CNN’s “journalists” portrayed the health bureaucrat’s lies as unquestionable “truths.”

"If you need a reminder of just how sanctimonious and authoritarian mainstream media mouthpieces were during the Reign of COVID Tyranny, watch this video montage of Jake Tapper and other hysterical fearmongers demanding that Americans submit to the COVID police state and do everything Fauci required of them.  In that video, Fauci menacingly tells Americans, “Now is the time to do what you are told.”  Around that time, CNN’s quack medical expert, Dr. Leana Wen, argued that the “unvaccinated” should not be “allowed” to leave their homes." . . .    More...

For most Americans, the site of American flags flying on homes generates pride. For “The View’s” Sunny Hostin, it generates fear.

Could she be too "at one" with Megan Rapinoe, Bruce Springsteen, Hollywood and anyone at MSNOW to ever appreciate our nation and its history? I cannot help but see America as the schoolyard weenie beset by mean girls and bullies, showing off for their campus peers by the abuse they mete out. TD 

 'The View' Host Says American Flags Make Her 'Feel Unsafe'

She called the assassination of a healthcare CEO a normal byproduct of a nation “built on violence.” And despite learning her own ancestors owned slaves, she has maintained that she is still owed reparations.

"The Stars and Stripes have once again become a target on daytime television, with “The View” co-host Sunny Hostin declaring that the sight of American flags flying in neighborhoods fills her with fear and signals white supremacy.

Hostin made the comments Monday while discussing a viral image showing masked Patriot Front marchers riding a Washington Metro train.

“There are times when I walk into a community and I see American flags all over the community and I suddenly feel unsafe because there is a section of this country that has co-opted the American flag and they equate being an American, or an American flag, with white supremacy,” Hostin told viewers.

"The remarks drew swift backlash online, with commentators pointing to an inconvenient detail about Hostin’s own living situation. She resides in Purchase, New York, one of the wealthiest zip codes in the entire country. The average income in her neighborhood hovers around $800,000 per year. The population is between 80 and 85 percent white.

"This isn’t the first time Hostin has expressed anxiety over Old Glory. Back in 2021, she defended an MSNBC analyst who called American and Trump flags in Long Island “disturbing.”

“When someone of color, a black woman, is telling you her feelings, people need to listen and not, you know, repudiate it and not say, ‘Well, that can’t be true,'” Hostin said at the time. She went on to describe her own reaction to seeing flags outside of July 4th or military neighborhoods.

“When I drive into a neighborhood, and it’s not July 4th, and I’m not in a predominantly military household neighborhood and there are flags, American flags, everywhere, alongside Trump flags, alongside flags with stars in a circle, I feel threatened,” she explained.

“Because the message is very clear,” she added. “It’s a message of white supremacy. It’s a message of racism, and it’s a message of their country, not my country. I don’t understand why that would receive backlash. People need to listen when I am saying this is how I feel. This is my experience in this country.” . . .

Despicable Joy Reid dances on Lindsey Graham's grave as she says the senator is going to hell

"'Well, you definitely had a better weekend than the Republican caucus in the United States Senate - because hell opened its doors for at least one more,' she quipped.

"Laughing at herself, Reid teased: 'So, we're going to talk a little bit about that.'

2 teens sought in shooting death of Penn State student in South Philly

. . . "But you know what isn’t at the linked story? The photos of the suspected killers! While in one of reporter Robert Moran’s linked stories we are given a bit of surveillance photos, enough to see that the two then-unidentified suspects are black, I had to use the tweet from Philly Crime Update to give my two regular readers their images, because the newspaper wouldn’t do so.

"The two suspects are still at large, and if the newspaper had published their photographs, perhaps a local reader would spot one or both of them based on that. If the editors were trying to avoid pointing out that the suspects are black, they’d never have published their names: it’s not as though anyone would think that suspects named Kaiseem Smith and Azzubair Outen-Fleming were anything but black.

Former MSNBC Host Joy Reid Faces Outrage After Claiming America Is Only “Marginally Better” Than Iran on Women’s Rights

I'm sure she would thrive there." His post pulled in over 26,000 likes and hundreds of quotes.

"Viewers piled on across platforms. One person asked if Reid really believed it or just wanted to follow a trend. Another wrote that her words were dangerously irresponsible because women in Iran face arrests for showing hair or protesting. Comments kept coming, with people pointing out that American women can vote, run companies, and fight for rights in court.

"Supporters say she was just highlighting real rollbacks in the US, like abortion limits and policy shifts. They argue it is fair to question both countries without pretending America is perfect.
