Notes from the Resistance
The theme of the dinner was “A Free Press for a Free People.” [More]
Hey, look! Free wine! I’m just surpised with these stooges it didn’t devolve into a pie fight.
You don’t hate “Authorized Journalists” enough. What’s #justablogger gotta do to get an invite?

ActBlue is on the chopping block, and the evidence coming out right now has everyone asking how a serious country can allow elections to turn into such a cesspool of scandal and lies. [More]
“Everyone“?
Why’d TDSNOw pull the page down where they were trying to portray ActBlue as Trump victims?
What do you think? After all those flaccid Krakens, will this soon become another Adventure in Baselessness?

According to the Trace’s 2024 IRS for 990, the Editor-in-Chief was paid more than $280,000. A staff writer made more than $170,000. [More]
There’s good money in having Daddy issues!

I had to laugh. First Academia and now this.
Does this now make me an “Authorized Journalist”?
Besides, I don’t think they’d appreciate what I have to say.
Ohio governor candidate’s event canceled over ‘pro-Nazi’ remarks [More]
That’s the narrative the media is going to run with all the way up to the primary. I can understand the restaurant backing out– most operate on such slim profit margins ait probably doesn’t take much to scare them. Nonetheless, they said a lot more than they had to trying to distance themselves.
I first ran across it in an April 3 hit piece in The Toldeo Blade (a failing rag that used to employ Homer Simpson’s dumber brother, a former ambassador calling for cordoned gun confiscation sweeps and imprisonment of defiers).
No surprise they did not even acknowledge my letter to the editor:
You don’t hate the DSM enough. Communist f_n’ bedwetters, all.
I’m not suprised that BFA ignored Vivek putting down Heritage Americans, either.

Chick-fil-A shooting in Union, New Jersey: Many injured in mass shooting; scary videos emerge [More]
And why is it significant to note an article from The Hindustan Times that emphasizes fear and doesn’t mention citizen disarmament edicts to its readers, you might ask?

A recent news headline declared, “11,500 shootings occurred within 500 yards of US schools last year.” The obvious implication is that American school children are under daily fire on school campuses nationwide. But, as with most gun control narratives in national media written by reporters who mostly don’t understand the basics of firearms or criminal gun use, that narrative collapses under the slightest scrutiny. The first glaring red flag in this story is that Hearst Television Data Visualization Journalist Susie Webb and the WCVB Get the Facts Data Team built their agenda-driven narrative by relying on gun control advocacy site The Trace’s “School-Adjacent Shootings” dataset, which tracks Gun Violence Archive (GVA) incidents that fell within 500 yards of a K-12 school. Even that dataset warns that each row is a shooting-to-school match and must be deduplicated before anyone totals up the incidents, deaths or injuries. However, that was not done before Webb and WVTM’s story went live on several news outlets, on social media, on Hearst Television’s YouTube channel and was even—unsurprisingly—picked up by MSN. [More]
You don’t hate the DSM enough.
WaPo Editor Pleads Guilty in Federal Child Porn Case… He was part of the newsroom team that won a Pulitzer Prize in 2018 for investigative reporting tied to coverage of Roy Moore’s Senate campaign. [More]
So he had three fingers pointing back at him?

From ‘Military Machine Gun’ to .22 Replica: KIRO 7’s UZI Story Changed Fast [More]
“The weapons’ menacing looks, coupled with the public’s confusion over fully automatic machine guns versus semi-automatic assault weapons—anything that looks like a machine gun is assumed to be a machine gun—can only increase the chance of public support for restrictions on these weapons.”
“Authorized Journalists“– is it any wonder that I love them so?
Fingers would be better pointed at Mexico’s pervasive corruption and tyrannical citizen disarmament edicts that have made a cartel black market both lucrative and inevitably bloody. [More]
The media pulling the same deceptions we saw before Operation Fast and Furious “Gunwalking” makes this déjà vu all over again.
Let’s see, @5M in the U.S., 66% of those new immigrants after a 174% increase in 20 years… and India Today is a go-to mass influencer source for them.
No wonder they’re 83% against 2A.
And no wonder my challenge says anecdotes and isolated examples don’t measurably alter that.
You guys who disagree, you’d better step up those outreach efforts and start taking busloads to the range.

MAGA-aligned billionaires Larry Ellison and his son David have dramatically won a bidding war for CNN’s parent company—and are now on track to turn it Trumpy. [More]
So we can expect it to be less “propagandisty” (yeah, I know, not a word) or at least less steered to one faction because the mega-media conglomerates and their owners care about your and my hopes and dreams…?
I’m seeing more chatter on a global power struggle between old established banking interests and the new technocrats.

I mean, who would believe it if you told them that CNN would turn an Islamist terrorist attack on New York City into a tale of two brothers minding their own business until they were forced to protest the injustice of white supremacists who were committing an Islamophobic hate crime? [More]

In stark contrast, the podcast highlighted Cuyahoga County Executive Chris Ronayne’s public stance supporting immigrant communities. [More]
Oh, and Chris also wants your guns. Funny how it always seems to work out that way.
What’s not funny is this in-your-face propaganda piece loaded with collectivist pejorative judgmentalism is filed under “News,” not “Editorials.”
These sanctimonious DSM shills can’t die fast enough.

So, why aren’t we hearing this from any “real reporters”?
And I could swear DOJ has some forensic accountants and RICO laws at their disposal…
