American journalism is collapsing before our eyes

Michael Goodwin  

. . . "The frenzy to bury Trump is not limited to the Clinton campaign and the Obama White House. They are working hand-in-hand with what was considered the cream of the nation’s news organizations.

"The shameful display of naked partisanship by the elite media is unlike anything seen in modern America.

"The largest broadcast networks — CBS, NBC and ABC — and major newspapers like The New York Times and Washington Post have jettisoned all pretense of fair play. Their fierce determination to keep Trump out of the Oval Office has no precedent.

"Indeed, no foreign enemy, no terror group, no native criminal gang, suffers the daily beating that Trump does. The mad mullahs of Iran, who call America the Great Satan and vow to wipe Israel off the map, are treated gently by comparison." . . .

Clinton Aide Huma Abedin Worked for Radical Muslim Publication That Blamed U.S. for 9/11

"If fighting for women’s rights is one of Clinton’s greatest achievements, why has she retained as her closest adviser a woman who gave voice to harsh Islamist critiques of her Beijing platform?"  Paul Sperry, author of  “Infiltration: How Muslim Spies and Subversives Have Penetrated Washington.”

Jammie Wearing Fools   "Call us crazy, but this seems more newsworthy than goofball swimmers acting like goofballs. Yet with the sorry state of journalism these days, don’t expect this to get any attention at all.

Hillary Clinton’s top campaign aide, and the woman who might be the future White House chief of staff to the first female US president, for a decade edited a radical Muslim publication that opposed women’s rights and blamed the US for 9/11.

One of Clinton’s biggest accomplishments listed on her campaign Web site is her support for the UN women’s conference in Bejing in 1995, when she famously declared, “Women’s rights are human rights.” Her speech has emerged as a focal point of her campaign, featured prominently in last month’s Morgan Freeman-narrated convention video introducing her as the Democratic nominee.

However, soon after that “historic and transformational” 1995 event, as Clinton recently described it, her top aide Huma Abedin published articles in a Saudi journal taking Clinton’s feminist platform apart, piece by piece. At the time, Abedin was assistant editor of the Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs working under her mother, who remains editor-in-chief. She was also working in the White House as an intern for then-First Lady Clinton.

"Either they failed to vet her at all or they did and found nothing wrong with her extremist radical beliefs. Which is it?". . .

CAIR whining about Trump while ignoring allah's standing order to behead and mutilate 'unbelievers' - Sura 8:12]

Iron Burka  "[8.12] When your Lord revealed to the angels: I am with you, therefore make firm those who believe. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them. (allah - not Trump who so irks the allah-friendly CAIR)"

Obama chills while nation simmers

Boston Herald

. . . "Meanwhile, Obama played his eighth round of golf in 12 days at the Vineyard Golf Club. It’s the nation’s first “organic” golf course — the initiation fee is $350,000 and annual dues are $12,000.

. . . 

"Obama travels for dinner to Alchemy in Edgartown, where one ounce of Royal Siberian Osetra Caviar with buckwheat blinis, creme frache and traditional accoutrements will run you $125.

"In Eastman, Georgia, a cop, a father of three, is murdered in cold blood by a gunman identified as Royheem Delshawn Deeds, who is later arrested in Florida while hiding in the trunk of a car owned by his sister, Franshawn Deeds.

"Obama golfs at the Farm Neck Golf Club.

"A Baton Rouge newspaper calls on Obama to break off his vacation to journey to flood-ravaged Louisiana, where 13 people have drowned and at one point 11,000 had fled to shelters — some of the worst flooding since 2005, when George Bush flew over but didn’t touch down and was subsequently flailed by the mainstream media that now says absolutely nothing about Obama’s disinterest.

"Obama dines at L’etoile Restaurant in Edgartown, where a “grilled, spiced-rubbed 13 oz Del Terrullo Grass-Fed Rib Eye steak” goes for $46."

Black Man Calls Out Black Lives Matter For Not Helping Louisiana Flood Victims…

Weasel Zippers

"Helping would require work.

"Via Fox News:

A man is going viral for questioning where Black Lives Matter activists are during the flooding in Louisiana.

Jerry L. Washington, a Baton Rouge native, posted a video to Facebook, asking why activists haven’t done anything to help the majority African-American city.

“Where are the Black Lives Matter and the Black Panthers?” Washington says in the video. “Because I ain’t seen one Black Panther boat or one Black Lives Matter boat. All I see is our own people from our own city saving us.”

“All the drama that was going on with the Alton Sterling killing, they came out with guns ready to go to war. But here we go, all these people flooded out and truly in need of help and we can’t find not one of them,” Washington says.

The tolerance of the left

A day in the life of Democrats

Protesters Block Trump Motorcade, JUMP ON VEHICLE!  "As Trump’s motorcade left the convention center, protesters swarmed his car, shouting “Hey, hey, ho, ho. Donald Trump has got to go.” Several police officers, some holding their bikes in front of them, ordered the protesters back to let the SUV leave.”

"Former Minnesota Congressman Michele Bachmann, who attended the fundraiser, told Breitbart News that Trump’s vehicle was attacked.

…Bachmann said the protesters were using profanity to verbally harass Trump supporters, spitting on them, and were so much a threat to the community that police officers advised people that they needed to leave through alternative exits….

Unicorn Riot. No link. Ever

The ‘protestors’ morphed into rent-a-mobs, and then they became ‘rent-a-thugs’ looking for a beat-down. It was nothing more than Obama/Hillary’s lawlessness and disrespect for decency playing out on the streets of Minneapolis. The only idea the left seems to understand is physical violence used to 

intimidate political opposition. These brute thugs who attacked Donald Trump’s vehicle demonstrate exactly why we need to elect Donald Trump as our next President of the United States, so we can see respect for the rule of law return again in this country.”

GEORGE SOROS OWNS HILLARY & LIBERAL SCOTUS JUSTICES, LEAKED MEMOS SHOW #o4a #news #Hillary

OverpassesForAmerica  "Open Society Foundations, Hungarian-born billionaire George Soros’ stated vehicle for progressive social change, orchestrated a well-funded attempt to secure a desired outcome in a U.S. Supreme Court case on illegal immigration enforcement, according to a newly discovered memo between the organization’s top U.S. officials and board members."

. . . "Soros, who once admitted he considers himself “some kind of god,” sits on the U.S. Programs advisory board, as do his sons Alexander and Jonathan. They’re joined by leading progressives in academia and in the media.

"Hillary greeting her master."

"Harvard University scholar and Washington Post columnist Danielle Allen, Georgetown Law professor and Foreign Policy magazine contributor Rosa Brooks and dean of Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism Steve Coll all serve on the board, in addition to their positions in the media.

"Soros’ political activity has come under scrutiny after “hacktivist” organization DCLeaks published thousands of internal documents from Soros’ organizations." . . .

Barry Farber asks if there isn't a constitutional solution to bias in media

"In politics, negative stories about a candidate’s floundering campaign discourages volunteers, energizes his opponents with false stimulation, panics prominent allies who were all set to endorse and inspires donors to put their wallets back in their pockets."

Why not journalistic malpractice?  . . . "For a while it looked like the wavering Castro regime might fall, but he was rescued by President Jimmy Carter, whose State Department issued a statement emphasizing, “We see no threat to the stability of the Castro government.” The following night there was a huge anti-Castro rally in Miami’s “Little Havana,” which I witnessed from an upper floor of a nearby building.

"Now I’m going to ask you to trust me on this one. In the Boy Scouts I was a miserable failure at tying knots, camping out, even identifying common birds. I was a whiz, however, at estimating how tall a flagpole was, how far it was from the mess hall to the lake, how many people were in a crowd – that sort of thing. I figured there were 8,000 Cubans at that Miami rally, and the police agreed with me. After the rally I hurried to a bar on South Beach so I could see how local TV covered it.

"And when I saw their coverage I wanted to throw the piano through the plate-glass window of the bar. The anchorman, contemptuously and dismissively said, “A few hundred anti-Castro dissidents joined the protest”!"

Networks Ignore Anti-Israel Bullying by Muslim Nations at 2016 Olympics

Full story here:   . . . "None of the networks – especially NBC, the channel hosting the Olympics – seemed to notice at all on their newscasts. They can all champion the Muslim-American fencer, and then ignore the Muslim abuse of Israel. The Jerusalem Post reported the trouble began on the way to the opening ceremonies:"

. . . 

"Where is the diversity-and-inclusion crowd from NBC? If a country blocked a set of LGBT athletes from boarding a bus, they would have had a fit. But bullying Israel is apparently acceptable. The Times of Israel added that in judo, a Saudi competitor forfeited before having to face an Israeli." . . .

Bad Lip Reading Gives The DNC The Parody It Needs And Deserves

RedState  "The YouTube channel, Bad Lip Reading, has been diligent in mocking the events of the election, as it always has. It's a welcome brand of humor during a time when everyone is taking everything so seriously.

BLR has so far voiced over Ted Cruz's speech at the RNC, and even made a video about the Michelle/Melania speech comparison. Each video is complete nonsense, but hey, what political convention isn't lately?

"This time, BLR gave its attention to the recent DNC. Hilariously, the channel doesn't focus on just one person, but jumps from politicians like Bernie Sanders, and Bill Clinton. He even tackles Michelle Obama, Chelsea Clinton, and some weird moments in between." . . .

Remember when Obama promised that he would not take vacations if elected President?

Just Playing Through

"Generally speaking, we think the British exhortation to "Keep Calm and Carry On" in times of turmoil is highly laudable. Unfortunately, Barack Obama is taking that adage to a new extreme which borders more on laudanum than laudable.

"Believing with all his heart that "when the going gets tough, the tough go golfing," the president has not missed a stroke to evince any particular interest in the violent race riots in Milwaukee, nor the human suffering of the victims of catastrophic flooding in Louisiana." . . .

Obama To Louisiana Flood Victims As They Recover: “Don’t Be Racist!”

Not many things get me seething, but this does. The narrative of this Administration as dividers instead of uniters is real. Look no further than this “guidance” press release telling us in the middle of it to be sure not to be racist, y’all. Meanwhile, our President enjoys golfing and Martha’s Vineyard and sunny skies. No visits, not even that reviled Bush flyover. Just politically motivated, racially laced memos. Meanwhile, we’ll keep on keeping on. Thanks, Obama.
