USA Today Shows Trademark ‘Ethics’ in Story on Vets ‘Furious’ about Trump/Arlington Incident

It went from “veterans” to “some veterans” in the blink of an eye, making it fair to ask, “Which veterans?” [More]

Why isn’t their campaign ad masked as news featuring Democrat operatives considered an in-kind contribution?

An Indirect Admission

I normally don’t answer the interminable political phone surveys happening before the election, but I was sitting in the drive-through line when the phone rang and had nothing else going on, so I played around after the promise of just two brief questions.

First question: “Is anyone in your household employed by the media…?”

Yes.

“Thank you for your time…”

We’re the Only Ones Removed Enough

Tuskegee police chief and assistant chief removed from office [More]

And none of the “real reporters” can say why? Just that”issues had been brought to the city council’s attention several weeks ago, prompting the decision by the city manager and attorney to steer the police department in a new direction”…?

No one’s curious why the city clerk hasn’t posted council minutes for three years…?

I probably just don’t understand.

Paper Trail

A newspaper feud at the foot of the Sangre de Cristo mountains has veered toward violence with editors armed, lawsuits flying, and threats from riled-up residents forcing the closure of a 140-year-old Main Street newsroom for safety. [More]

With a sensationalistic lede like this, no wonder George Gramlich didn’t want to give the “real reporter” the time of day. There’s nothing he c0uld have said that wouldn’t have been used against him out of context.

We Believe in the Second Amendment BUT…

Massachusetts House and Senate negotiators have released a compromise version of a sweeping gun bill that supporters say builds on the state’s existing gun laws, including a crackdown on difficult to trace “ghost guns,” while safeguarding the rights of gun owners. [More]

If they’re going to start out with a lie, several here that I can identify, what’s my incentive to read further and keep being lied to?

Way to continue being megaphones for tyranny, Associated Press and “real reporter” Steve LeBlanc!

An Open Secret

The programme can now reveal the information was compiled as part of a secretive project aiming to identify millions of gun owners in America who could be targeted with pro-gun rights messages in the lead-up to the 2016 election campaign. [More]

They’re trying to ID gun owners…? Really…?

Unheard of, this business of political campaigns soliciting special interest constituencies!

What the DSM is really trying to do here with this new narrative talking point is sow dissent and advance the meme that the wannabe low-hanging fruit patsy was registered a Republican — without mentioning he donated to a hardcore Democrat operation exploiting PA’s closed primary.

An In-Kind Contribution

Morales began the segment by explaining Schiff is not only campaigning against Republican Steve Garvey, but also “focused on another opponent,” that opponent, unsurprisingly, being Trump. [More]

So how is this not a free campaign ad, reportable to the FEC?

And anybody else wishing one of those mountain lions or bears he was prattling on about had made a surprise appearance…?

An Effective Combination

For the crime of running a huge survey on defensive gun use in the U.S. that was not forced into the narrative structure of today’s gun-control activism, William English, an assistant professor at Georgetown University’s McDonough School of Business, has been subpoenaed, attacked in The New York Times and by many other “mainstream” outlets and, basically, pilloried in order to, as he put it in The Wall Street Journal, “warn off other academics thinking of doing similar research, and to influence courts where states are losing on the merits.” [More]

Or as the Keeper always said:

From the Newsraper of Record

New York Times columnist John McWhorter has shown us this again recently by wishing someone would assassinate Donald Trump. [More]

And remember: Trump is just an avatar for the voters who support the promises he so imperfectly delivers on. If Trump is “a hideous pig of a man,” what must a rabid MAGAite be? And we know what such dehumanization allows.

This genocidal provincial bigot would prefer we all were eliminated. By somebody else, of course.

Considering the source’s “text, history, and tradition,” who’s surprised?

And why do Bill Clinton’s Rules of Engagement come to mind?

Magic Bullets Redux

Who do these people think they are?

Quds News Network…?

AFP/Yahoo News…?

Or the University Daily Kansan…?

At least they’re not Ryan J. Reilly… who earned his own special Fauxtoshop

Fun Times in Cleveland Again

New center to help prevent gun violence coming to Cleveland [More]

Nice parroting of the government’s narrative, “real reporter” Julia Bingel.

Looking forward to the follow-up in a year on how it all came true.

At least we’re not Detroit.

Trust Busters

TRUTH ABOUT BUMPSTOCKS MEDIA COVERAGE … But it’s presented in a news article for general population consumption, thus gaining credibility from those who trust the honest transmission of information based on the publication’s reputation. [More]

At this point, anyone who trusts USA Today/Gannet Publications and the DSM for any of that basically wants to be a manipulated idiot.

Parroting the Narrative

Reid Flips Out Over Sinclair Busting Liberal Influence in Local News [More]

What did we just see the DSM marching in lockstep over in Milwaukee?

And now we’ve got another meme about Trump supporters being reinvigorated with Nancy Pelosi, PA Gov. Josh Shapiro, WaPo, and…

It’s true what they say: You don’t hate the media enough.

Speaking of Real $h!+ Reporting

‘Total lie’: Trump campaign, GOP lawmakers blast report claiming he called Milwaukee a ‘horrible city’ – Multiple Republicans in the room said the former president was taken out of context [More]

I wonder how many of these people will bother to inform everyone they’ve misled.

Still… the original assumption had a point…

Laying the Minefield

George Stephanopoulos recently appeared on CNN with host Abby Phillip and advised the network on going after Donald Trump in the first debate. This is the political director of ABC News advising another media outlet on how to take down a candidate. That is not the role of people in media. [More]

“Journalistic ethics” — Good one!
