Category: Authorized Journalists

It’s All in the Presentation

Under current VA policy, if a veteran who defended this country has to go to the VA and ask for help managing his or her financial affairs the VA automatically reports that veteran to the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System … and that veteran loses his firearm … automatically, no due process, no questions asked. This ion has not been made by a judge, it’s being made by a bureaucrat. All our Amendment would do would be … to say the VA, just because you’ve asked for help with your money, cannot automatically take away your firearm or report you to NICS unless a judge has ruled that that veteran is a danger to to himself or to others. [Watch]

Now look at how ABC News/MSN couch it, knowing full well most will not do more than scan the headlines and the first few words:

Senate approved amendment that would limit gun background checks for veterans

Then immediately tie that in with the Maine shooter being a veteran…

So Much for ‘Crime Gun Intelligence’

“The flow of crime guns to those people. How are they being armed? Many of them are felons, people who the law says can’t have weapons yet there finding them anyway.” [More]

So the guy in charge admits what he’s doing isn’t working and his solution is to do more of it…?

And marvel at the way professional “Authorized Journalists” are not only subject matter ignorant but grade-schoolers with their stock-in-trade, the English language.

So much for the “tenants” of journalism…

An Award Winning ‘Real Reporter’

Disinformation Reporter Ben Collins Failed To Correct the Gaza Hospital Story – Perhaps the Walter Cronkite Awards ought to have slightly higher standards? [More]

What, the “disinformation reporter” who called a Second Amendment rally a “white nationalist rally”…? And he’s the arbiter of “extremism”…?

I thought he’d promised to quit “journalism”…? (At least he got the “no skills” part right.)

As for being “depressed” over “death threats,” how were they delivered, were they reported to the authorities and what did their investigations conclude? Or more likely were they just “wishes,” something those of us who aren’t contemptible weaklings have directed not just against us, but against our children, and don’t let the losers slow us down…?

What can I say but “NBC News”? Don’t these people have a truck to blow up or something?

And I would say a Walter Cronkite Award is more than appropriate.

So would he.

There’s a reason I call these people the DSM…

We’re the Only Ones…Oh, Look, a Celebrity!

The inmate was in handcuffs when he was beaten at the Pinckneyville Illinois Correctional Center in April of last year. [More]

It says something about “Authorized Journalism” when a story of compelling public interest is given literally 1/6 the words of the link that appears in the middle of it:

The Malignancy of Kristol Meth

I came to D.C. to work in the Reagan Administration because (to oversimplify) it was pro-Constitution, pro-U.S. global leadership, pro-military, pro-Israel, pro-democratic capitalism, and pro-American dream. And that’s why I now support the Biden Administration and Democrats. [More]

His journey towards the dark side is complete.

His Own Petard

Soros-backed Louisiana district attorney carjacked at gunpoint with his mother [More]

What’s with “Williams said the suspect had high-powered automatic weapons”?

Did any “real reporters” ask him how he knew, or is it just easier for all concerned to help VPC spread its 35-year-old fear porn?

Making It Look Easy

Pierre Poilievre gives a masterclass on how to handle a left-wing journalist. And he eats an apple while he’s doing it. [Watch]

Can you imagine what a moron you’d have to be to vote for Fidelito?

But wait! There’s more!

Pierre Poilievre STANDS UP for legal gun owners*

Gun owners inclined to talk to the media need to pay attention to how he does it and expose smug apparatchiks for what they are.

* And I’d argue for some of us “illegal” ones.

Going Through the Roofie?

Video shows Ga. commissioner who claimed to be drugged had 5 drinks at metro Atlanta bar, police say [More]

Let me guess: Budweiser? (NSFW nasty joke warning)

Video– another reason I don’t go to bars.

I wanted to come up with a link to her position on guns but got sidetracked by a report claim:

A Clayton officer on Monday, responding to a call from a gas station clerk that teens were playing with a gun, pulled out his revolver while talking to the group of boys.

Do those look like revolvers or are the “real reporter” and his editor just typical examples of “Authorized Journalists? And hey, this oughta work…

Shallow Media Treatment of ‘Accidental’ Shooting Leaves Public Open to Manipulation

It also shows the danger of lazy journalism when a news organization asks no questions/does no independent research, and essentially copies a government press release. To paraphrase the late Paul Harvey, “And now, the rest of the story…” [More]

Another “accidental child gun death” warranting the government to issue a word of caution to the public? How do you “accidentally” shoot your child four times, and would it be too much to ask “professional journalists” to even acknowledge the unexplained disconnect?

No Downside We Can Think Of…

Latinos in Ohio earned a total of $22.8 billion in 2021, according to the report that was produced by the Latino Donor Collaborative, a California-based nonprofit organization and think tank, in collaboration with Arizona State University. [More]

All those flags certainly make a statement.

Assuming you can trust numbers from an agenda group with horses in the race and no clear way to identify who bankrolls them, how much of that was sent out of country via wire transfers?

And while everyone is waxing eloquent about all the marvelous benefits, let’s see a realistic assessment of added costs to measure what we’re really talking about– and not just economic.

And what report would be complete without analyzing how they vote, and why the Democrat-endorsing Columbus Dispatch didn’t see fit to include that?

Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue.” And I have that on good authority.

Elon Musk Must Be Destroyed!

What was Musk’s strategy for TWITTER? Game plan published by fired Trump staffer provides clue…‘War against Globalist American Empire’…

Russian State TV Suggests Elon is ‘Our Agent’…

And aside from being a Russian mole, he’s an antisemite!

Time to go full Russell Brand on the guy, right?

Either that or this full-scale smear campaign is being waged because his X platform is doing a substantive end run around the authorized narrative and that’s got to be shut down.

Here’s one example from the above-linked NBC News piece, utilizing a familiar tactic and guilt by association:

The site is run by the far-right blogger Darren Beattie, a former Trump White House speechwriter who was fired in 2018 for having spoken on a panel alongside white nationalists. After the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, Beattie promoted the baseless claim that the FBI had planted agents in the crowd who incited it to storm the building.

Oh, really?

“Baseless” …?

And NBC News…?

Instant Karma’s Going to Get You

Philadelphia Journalist Who Mocked Concern Over Violent Crime In Democrat Cities Shot Dead In Home [More]

Not really related but somehow seems apt: Years ago a friend told the story of his high school shop teacher who had lost his finger on a band saw, and when explaining to the boys in class how it happened cut off another one.

Univision ‘Moderator’ Gaslights Viewers on Guns in GOP Presidential Candidate Debate

A supposed “journalist” (and Emmy winner!) from the land made infamous by its corrupt government and bloodthirsty drug cartels, “reporting” for a multinational media giant headquartered in Mexico, another corrupt country overrun by monstrously homicidal drug kingpins, asserts that “gun violence” is “unique to the United States” and not one co-moderator and not one candidate called her delusional on it and chastised her for exploiting the event with transparent propagandizing? [More]

¿Cómo se Dice “Gaslighting” en Español?” And why didn’t a single Republican candidate object and refute the lie?
