The row began with an NBC story written by a young British journalist who contacted Google with a report from the Center for Countering Digital Hate, a British think tank that had put together a list of 10 American websites it deemed racist.

The Federalist was listed along with ZeroHedge, Gateway Pundit, Breitbart, American Greatness, Moonbattery, American Thinker, Big League Politics, WND and The Washington Standard.

The think tank flagged that The Federalist had used a 'black crime' tag to categorize content. It also flagged a story in which a journalist claimed the media was 'lying' by reporting that white supremacists were involved in looting. It specifically singled out CNN and the New York Times.

ZeroHedge, a blog, was also flagged and has now been demonetized.

Former NYT Reporter Alex Berenson Rips New Yorker For COVID-19 ‘Panic Porn’

Former New York Times reporter Alex Berenson scolded The New Yorker this weekend for pushing more COVID-19 “panic porn” with hospitalization numbers the magazine later acknowledged were inaccurate.

As highlighted by Fox News, John Cassidy of The New Yorker published a piece last Friday arguing that parts of “Red America” were headed toward a COVID-19 disaster based on hospitalizations in states that relaxed lockdown measures.

“[In Florida], 12,673 people were hospitalized, compared to the 8,553 a month ago, according to the COVID Tracking Project,” reported Cassidy.

Berenson called out Cassidy on Twitter for misrepresenting the numbers because those total hospitalizations go all the way back to March and did not shoot up a full 4,000 in a month.

“It should come as no surprise that the most crucial and scariest fact in this New Yorker piece of panic porn is wrong: [Cassidy] reports that 12,673 people ‘are hospitalized’ in Florida with [coronavirus], up 4,000 in a month. Nope…” Berenson said. “12,673 HAVE BEEN hospitalized in Florida since hospitalizations began in March. The vast majority of those patients are home now. Florida has never had over ~2,000 people hospitalized with [COVID-19], 3.5% of its total hospital beds. Which presents a slightly different picture.”

The driver is described as having "Dreadlocks" so probably not White.

In Major Deal, The Babylon Bee Purchases Competing Satire Site CNN

U.S.—The Babylon Bee has been the world's best satire site for thousands of years, spawning dozens of secular knock-offs that just aren't quite as good.

The Bee announced a new acquisition this week, one that immediately made it the largest satirical site on the planet: a purchase of competing satire outlet CNN for $12 billion. The move more than quadrupled the site's catalog of hilarious, satirical articles.

"We've long admired CNN's ability to parody leftist media organizations so effortlessly, and we're thrilled to have them under The Babylon Bee's umbrella," said site CEO Seth Dillon. "When you can't compete with hilarious satire like CNN, you obviously look for ways to get them on your team, and an acquisition seemed to make the most sense."

The new conglomerate organization will be called BNN. CNN writers and hosts will be instructed to simply keep doing what they're doing.

"We don't want them to change anything since you don't try to fix satirical content that's already incredible," Dillon said. "They'll just keep churning out incredibly skewed content in order to satirize the leftist media's inability to report anything without bias or prejudice."

Brian Stelter will produce satirical videos for The Babylon Bee, moving the site into the realm of video content for the first time. Again, though, his show's content will remain unchanged.

CNN will also benefit, as their content will now be clearly labeled satire, protecting them from getting sued to high heaven for their skewed coverage.

An article published by an NPR affiliate of Portland said that calling a riot a “riot” is rooted in racism. There have been various riots taking place in Portland for the last few months and there has also been a divided opinion about the situation, particularly in the way it’s portrayed by the media.

While CNN state that this week’s riots are “fiery but mostly peaceful,” others are claiming that there were no riots taking place at all. And then, we have media houses that declare “riot” a racially charged word.

NPR and NY Times have become laden with woke and SJW, mostly has a reaction to Trump.
Particularly after Trump's buddy declared the press is the opposition.
They have been 69ing each other since 2016.
