Axios Has a Total Meltdown Because the Press Can’t Control the Narrative Anymore [More]
We saw what kind of job they did when they thought they could.

The ‘Convicts’ Tar Vanishes
US newspapers are deleting old crime stories, offering subjects a ‘clean slate’ [More]
So now it’s the job of “Authorized Journalists” to suppress relevant information. My “For ‘progressives,’ every day is Opposite Day” adage just keeps proving itself.
That’s one way for authorities to absolve themselves of the predictable results of catch-and-release.
This is CNN
CNN Tries and Fails – Again – to Make Florida’s Stand Your Ground Law Controversial [More]
So a 42-year-old with a violent criminal history threatens an armed 79-year-old with a chainsaw, who responds appropriately, and that’s reason to disparage”Stand Y0ur Ground”?
The only thing controversial is why anyone still watches CNN.
Tangentially-related UPDATE
Or that more people don’t sue…

‘Fact Checker’ Meltdown
Doltish reporters Rebecca Shabad and Ryan J. Reilly breathlessly reported that “Rep. Mike Collins, R-Ga., falsely claimed in a lengthy post on X this morning that ‘thousands of peaceful grandmothers’ gathered Jan. 6, 2021, to take a tour of the U.S. Capitol building and that people peacefully explored the building.” They go on and on about “false” and “untrue” claims in Collins’ post, including some assertions that aren’t false. [More]
Doltish is right. I remember Ryan J. Reilly freaking out over “rubber bullets” that earned him his own special Fauxtoshop that seemed so appropriate…

If We Can’t Believe a Premeditated Oath Breaker, Who CAN We Believe?
But Williams wants to let his former comrades know “a faggot is doing this to them.” He thinks his story could be his most effective weapon. [More]
Not to mention a proven liar, out to try and ruin lives for personal motivations that appear to reflect on him more than they do on actionable lawbreaking….
Just like what appears to be more of a smear job than investigative reporting does on Pro Publica.
It does touch on what I considered to be Oath Keepers’ greatest vulnerability: Involving itself in actions that strayed from what the controllers feared the most: its mission to educate enforcers about orders not to obey and why.
I’ll also say that some of the names I’m seeing representing new leadership were never included in the many emails I still have with old leadership.

The Silent Horror
Facebook and Instagram Ads Push Gun Silencers Disguised as Car Parts – A network of Facebook pages has been advertising “fuel filters” that are actually meant to be used as silencers, which are heavily regulated by US law. Even US military officials are concerned. [More]
Mehrotra, eh…?
I keep going back to the last paragraph.
And Wired being ultimately controlled by the same billionaire who profits from Teen Vogue’s anal sex tips for teens…
Why do I have the feeling that if fuel filters were being used for something else it wouldn’t be a story?

Drawing Attention
Washington Post cartoonist resigns over paper’s refusal to publish cartoon critical of Jeff Bezos [More]
I’m trying to recall when I ever had a job where I could publicly diss my employer and expect to not be unceremoniously fired…
And it’s not like she had an original (or even funny) idea in her head…
Not to worry– I’m sure some virtual signaling outlet will pick her up– one that’s not cutting back yet due to a shrinking market demand for DSM gaslighting.
Democrat Influencers Propose that Congress Ignore Election and Start Civil War
It sure sounds like “seditious conspiracy” to me, but I guess that would have to be decided by the victors… [More]
They seem to believe they’ll remain above it all.
In with the New
I decided against better judgment to watch the ball drop on one of the networks, and at random picked CBS. My guess is the song right before the countdown was on all the feeds, and it was some rich, faux-furred celebrityette singing Lennon’s paen to Lenin, “Imagine,” with the “no possessions” line juxtaposing bizarrely (so probably unnoticed by most) against a thick jeweled necklace that looked like something worn by a queen. I turned it off soon after while the music was interspersed with crowd shots, replete with a long pause on two guys making out…

Mexican Standoff
60 Minutes Gets Dragged on Twitter/X Over Story Praising Gun Control Policies in Mexico [More]
To paraphrase Rhett Butler, they should be dragged and often, and by someone who knows how.
They had a chance to sustain real journalism about guns and Mexico with Sharyl Attkisson, but instead decided that didn’t fit the approved narrative. They could’a been contenders instead of DSM bums, which is what they are, let’s face it.

Lie of the Year
Note how they’ve got this post arranged to where all the top replies are by them and you need to scroll down half the screen to find anyone calling them on it? [More]
They’ve been at the lying game a lot longer than a year.
An ‘A’ in My Book
Kansas gets an F in gun legislation, national report says [More]
So, how many of the killers of those 500 people were inclined to obey existing laws, and which proposed new ones would have made them reconsider?
What a fraudulent scam every single damn one of these treasonous gun grab groups is. So nice one-sided PR piece masked as “news,” Kansas Reflector…

A Numbers Game
CNN Claims There Have Been ’83 School Shootings’ This Year [More]
Lemme guess: They’re using the Gun Violence Archive, which The Gun Writer, Lee Williams documents:
[A]ccording to Bryant’s all-inclusive definition, there were 417 mass shootings in 2019. The FBI says there were 30, because it uses a much narrower and more realistic definition.
Change my mind.

The guy’s a goddam gun-grabber and they gotta make stuff up about him? That’s gotta be a real Democrat dilemma, when you can’t go after him for what he’s really guilty of because you share that agenda.

Into the Grey Zone
There aren’t just democracies and dictatorships. There are many countries occupying a grey zone, where elections happen but harassment of the press and the opposition allows the regime to keep a vice grip on power. You can’t help but think that’s where Trump wants to take us. [Watch]
This liar again. Talking to this liar.
Talk about projection writ large…
