This is What We’re Up Against

The Guardian says that further censorship of U.S. social media companies is needed to control dissent in Europe [More]

Funny– going to The Guardian story from there and this pops up:

What’s in the Trump administration’s ‘tsunami’ of gun deregulation [More]

Oh, no! Infringing on infringements! Head for higher ground!

Because we all know how ATF rules affect predator decision-making.

“Real reporter” Avery Lotz carries the prohibitionists’ water for them.

She probably also believes repeating talking points can’t ultimately be done a lot cheaper by AI.

The View from the Top

Disney-owned ABC is now petitioning the Federal Communications Commission to officially declare the screeching harpies on The View as “bona fide news,” giving the daytime talk show a free pass to platform Democrat politicians while blackballing Republicans and dodging equal time rules that apply to every other broadcaster.

Disney…

That the “conservative” half of America still does business with them shows what a force denial can be.

Katy Tur: What about this passage from Mike Johnson declaring that our rights do not derive from government? They come from you, our creator and heavenly father. Is this him putting God over the Declaration of Independence? [More]

The Brown Bess Loophole

You ought to see the damage unregulated assault weapons from an even earlier time were capable of! And they were all “in common use at the time”!

What can I say but “Associated Press“…?

Not for Everyone

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?

Everyone We Don’t Like is a Nazi

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.

Lies of Commission and Omission

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.
