The Authorized Journalist Protection Act

Dubbed “Protect Reporters from Exploitative State Spying Act,” the broadly supported bill would ensure federal protection for journalists. It would prevent authorities from abusing subpoena powers and protect reporters from being forced to reveal their sources. [More]

I know what it’s like to live with that fear hanging over my head, so I guess my biggest question is will us “just a bloggers” have the same expectation of protection or will we have to prove ourselves eligible under the presumption that we are not?

Think of It as Plague Insurance

“Mr. Labarge’s terror campaign sent ripples of fear throughout the journalism community and violated the bedrock principles enshrined in the Bill of Rights. Our office remains steadfast in our commitment to safeguarding the rights of journalists to report without fear of retribution and to put behind bars those who try to silence the media through threats and violence,” Levy said. [More]

The DOJ suddenly finding it in its self-interest to virtue signal about the Bill of Rights notwithstanding, Levy knows the First Amendment is a restraint on government, and that’s reflected in the actual charges that didn’t mention it:

…conspiracy to commit stalking through interstate travel and using a facility of interstate commerce… conspiracy to commit stalking using a facility of interstate commerce… stalking using a facility of interstate commerce and aiding and abetting… stalking through interstate travel and aiding and abetting.

Sudden interest in rights is the DOJ careerists’ equivalent of painting lamb’s blood on the door frame so the wrath of Trump passes over them. I do wonder, though, if the same amount of energy would have been spent on “just a blogger” as on “real reporters.”

Still, it’s analagous to more ways a proactive AG could protect the Second Amendment from state and municpal infringements… if she was instructed to.

Nothing Short of a Media Revolution

The Mainstream Media is in the complete free fall we have been expecting for the last decade. With MSNBC and CNN both losing 50% of their viewership (this time last year vs now), we are about to see MAJOR changes in the media landscape worldwide. The propaganda machine is on its last leg. [More]

Mark Walters and I discussed this yesterday on Daily Defense.

In spite of everything the multi-billion dollar DSM threw into creating the Kamala Harris illusion and propagandizing it 24-7, we small furry mammals ate the dinosaurs’ eggs.

#Justabloggers, and YouTubers, and social/alternative media pundits kicked the “real reporters'” @$$e$. A critical mass just isn’t buying the lies anymore, and I don’t see any way they can get that back.

They made a big collective miscalculation and they lost.

Unmotivated and/or Just Not Smart Enough

Legacy Media Indict Themselves When They Blame The ‘Right-Wing Media Ecosystem’ [More]

The ones who know they’re liars won’t admit it and the balance of self-important boobs are basically children who chose a “liberal arts” degree where you don’t actually have to prove you know anything.

Down But Not Out

The Era of Corporate Media Dominance Is Over [More]

It’s an attractive thought but the Deep State relying on it and its search engines burying alternative sources won’t give up so easily. And 50% of the population, by definition, is still 50% dumber than the other half, with the 30% above that still nothing to write home about.

Now look for the era of GIGO AI “fact checkers.”

She’ll Land on Her Feet Regardless

‘Los Angeles Times’ editor resigns after newspaper withholds presidential endorsement [More]

Tell us you presided over partisan propaganda without telling us you presided over partisan propaganda.

That’s one way to audition for White House Press Secretary…

An Idea Whose Time Has Come?

It was unclear if he was struck by a bullet ricochet or another type of metal fragment. Kunce was firing an AR-15-style weapon at the time that the reporter was struck. [More]

At an event with Adam Kinzinger, shooting metal at close range…

Speaking of “clowns whose disregard for … common sense puts people’s lives at risk. This is honestly humiliating” .

And he’ll still vote with the Party on judicial nominees. “Pro-gun” Democrats are very different from “Pro-2A” Democrats.

Drudge Goes Full Antifa

The message: If you vote for Trump you’re voting for Hitler!

Disregard that Hitler “was, at heart, a left-winger.”

Disregard that Mussolini was, too.

And the observation that it’s counterproductive for Jews to vote for “national socialists” is self-evident.

Walz Street Journal

A sensational report in The Wall Street Journal implies that questioning the integrity of our elections is tantamount to domestic terrorism. [More]

Never let a “greatest threat” meme go to waste.

Everybody knows that the “conservative” WSJ is ultimately controlled by Rupert Murdoch & Son…?

Devil’s Advocates

The Satanic Temple is taking on the Christian right. It’s fun to watch [More]

I wonder if Arwa Mahdawi and UK’s The Guardian would be as amused if the four loser Goths (and especially the morbidly obese hutt on the right who looks incapable of, uh, wiping) were “taking on” the Islamic State.

Now that would be “fun to watch.”

At least they know which rally to attend.

Better Than He Deserves

Al Sharpton says he is convinced he is on Donald Trump’s “list” and will be thrown in jail if Trump wins the election. [More]

He’s more than earned it:

Al Sharpton, who embraced and lied about that case, has his own show on MSNBC today. Although he was ordered to pay damages as well, he refused for years before his friends finally paid his debt for him.

And he wants to do it to you.

So does Deutschbag Donnie.
