CNN’s star has fallen faster than an expired StarLink satellite. Once the gold standard of network news, CNN only garnered 5.1 million viewers on election night, “severely trailing behind MSNBC and Fox News.” The podcasting business is about to get a lot busier. Top CNN anchors like Anderson Cooper and Erin Burnett are reportedly on the chopping block. ...

It’s baffling. How could this happen, given all the talent at MSNBC? While Kamala Harris was losing on election night, as CNN’s white anchors listened and nodded sagely, black anchoress Joy Reid opined that the high numbers of black voters bubbling ballots for Trump resulted from “black anti-blackness,” and opined those black voters were “down with White Supremacy.”

Black White Supremacy. That’s the kind of keen, insightful analysis that MSNBC viewers “enjoy.”

President Trump Sues Leftist Media Outlets Including the New York Times for Total of $10 Billion, Alleges Multiple “False and Defamatory” Statements

Columbia Journalism Review reported on Thursday that just days before the presidential election, Trump’s lawyer, Edward Andrew Paltzik, sent a letter to the far-left New York Times and Penguin Random House demanding $10 billion in damages awarded to Trump for “false and defamatory statements.” The letter points to specific statements about Trump in articles by Peter Baker, Michael S. Schmidt, Susanne Craig, and Russ Buettner.

The letter highlights two stories by Buettner and Craig are connected to their new book, “Lucky Loser: How Donald Trump Squandered His Father’s Fortune and Created the Illusion of Success.” The CJR reports the letter also mentions an October 20 article by Baker titled “For Trump, a Lifetime of Scandals Heads Toward a Moment of Judgment,” and an October 22 article by Schmidt with the title “As Election Nears, Kelly Warns Trump Would Rule Like a Dictator.”

Lol! This sounds like fun, and the media absolutely deserves it.

Whispering sweet nothings about the 9/11 conspiracy false flag gets the Libby chicks wet every time.

All Trump said was 'Gitmo', and they fell on the floor and started licking his shoes. There's no whore like a propaganda liberal whore.

The extra-long article —it prints to 7 pages, single-spaced— contained only one attributed quotation. Everything else was anonymous. And that single named quote was just a throwaway line attributed to hawkish Republican Representative Michael Turner (R-Oh.), who dares Russia to start World War III.

As a critical news consumer, always inventory the sources for any news claims. The bigger the claim, the more sources you usually want. This particular article coughed up seven full pages of information without even once saying where the information came from. Fail.

Even if it actually came from an inside source, no responsible journalist would agree to stenograph all this information without some kind of external confirmation. Otherwise, what makes these reporters any different from being secretaries?

In other words, since the three reporters —apparently, nobody wanted the full credit (or blame)— all soiled their midwit reputations to deliver a steaming pile of non-journalism, it seems most likely this article was a deep-state press release. So, based on evidence from the article, the deep state stirred the Proxy War pot this weekend by releasing this “news” through its pet media outlet, the New York Times.

We simply cannot know why they did it. There may be some great, secret reason. Since they aren’t saying, we can speculate. My best guess is they are trying to poison the peace well by making the Russians madder than wet Siberian huskies, in a snowstorm, even if doing so risks full-on nuclear war.

But it’s late in the game, and these kinds of maneuvers are unpredictable. They can just as easily create new possibilities as bollux things up. I note that President Trump himself posted nothing responding to the now widely-reported Times exclusive, which is a solid negotiating tactic.

they’re just awful. all they do is lie. the ones the government pays for are on record calling the truth a distraction from getting things done and that “the first amendment is their big challenge.”

the AP newswire is literal pay for play propaganda bought and paid for with grants from activism inc (especially climate groups) who are putting up 10’s of millions of dollars to fund activist reporting and activist reporters who cover every story from one predetermined side.

there is nothing subtle about it.

“philanthropy funded news” is just code for: pay the piper, call the tune and the lyrics of lay of the lie lie in the hands of those who fund it.




they brought this on themselves and deluded themselves into thinking that their slant and taint would not catch up to them, that they could sell us feces as shinola on and on world without end.

guess what?

you can’t.

it has.

Sure. It takes $58 worth of gas for those 10 people to meet at the soup kitchen's Thanksgiving Dinner.

Man who was choking rider? It’s not even a good joke. There was zero evidence that Danny Penny intended to “choke” the Subway Terrorist. None. They didn’t even charge Danny with any intentional crimes. Next, the drug-addled lunatic is just a “subway rider?”

May a pox be upon the New York Times. May it suffer the pain of a thousand vaccinations. Get out of here with your stupid ‘subway rider.’

They have always been like that. The "venerable" Walter Duranty of NYT was polishing Stalin's knob and re-telling Soviet propaganda as God's truth while his American colleagues where polishing his knob describing his "reporting" as "the most enlightened, dispassionate dispatches from a great nation in the making which appeared in any newspaper in the world."

They were assuming something like $100 worth of ingredients from milk to eggs to spices were already in the house.

No beverages, either. Just water. Not even coffee was included, certainly not any cream or sugar for it.

I think I broke it down that everybody would get about 1 oz of peas per person and less than 2" slice of pie, no seconds. Memory might be off, but it was something like that. Slim pickens.

it’s easy to mistake the histrionics about “trump will declare martial law” and “trump plans to set up concentration camps for political enemies” (both claims i’ve heard from people i once thought thinkers but who seem to have lost all calibration and discernment) for “just more TDS driven by mistaking CNN for news” but this is an error.

these lockstep talking points erupted everywhere at once. this is how you know they were seeded. every news station and wild eyed pundit does not suddenly invent the same persecution fantasy and pitch it from the same angle using the same words and analogies on the same day by coincidence. this is a talking point. someone released and seeded it. and they did it for a reason.

the reason is this:

trump wants to deport illegal aliens. this is hardly new news. it’s actually popular policy and the people who tried to claim “this is not happening, this is not a problem, well, akshully, it’s a good thing before finally pivoting to ‘then who will mow my lawn and pick the lettuce’” have lost massive credibility on this issue. they have lied over and over and they lost public trust and public opinion.

trump’s policy has widespread support even among latinos.

so how do you thwart it? by saying trump is a dictator who wants military rule and concentration camps. then, when he starts rounding up illegals to ship home, you scream “see! police state! military use on US soil! concentration camps! gathering those in the country illegally and enforcing its laws is literally genocide. ICE facilities are dachau!” and you frame as fascism and power grab what in reality amounts to an end to lawlessness and actual invasion and a return to basic ideas like “borders” and “citizenship.”

this whole thing is designed to make protecting american citizens and society look like an attempt to conquer it. they are seeding the debate to come and seeking to use a false frame as a way to accumulate credibility. it’s cult leader 101 and a way to frighten hispanics with tales of “people who look like you are being put in boxcars!”

they then extend it to “and they are going to deport naturalized citizens and those with green cards and legal immigration too!” so that when some mistake inevitable happens, then can howl “see! told you they were coming for you!”

this is a campfire story intended to make the cub scouts wet their pants at every rustle in the forest tonight.

it’s going to work on a fair few people. this is why it’s so important for the rest to be aware of the trick.

X boss Elon Musk has warned the public that “news” outlet Reuters is actually a paid propaganda operation.

Musk revealed that Reuters has been pushing phony investigations into his businesses on behalf of President Joe Biden’s administration.

He called the purported connection “insane” and said it “explains a lot.” ...

Musk responded to the report by stating that “deep state traitors are coming after me, using their paid shills in legacy media.”

In March, Musk stated: “The legacy media lies as easy as breathing.”

He added that “Reuters is the worst right now.”
