“The hilarity of this coming from MSNBC which did nothing but vomit up fake Russian hit stories that came straight from the FBI for six consecutive years, you guys still haven’t apologized for it.”
CNN Downplays Murder of Bob Lee in San Francisco: ‘Mostly Peaceful Homicide’
When 28-year-old Audrey Hale armed herself with a semi-automatic and slaughtered six people, including three children, the media went almost completely dark on the story, pivoting instead to guns and somehow racism. Yes, racism.
Yesterday evening, the Wall Street Journal ran an utterly fabulous monstrosity of a story headlined, “Air Guardsman Arrested in Connection With Leaked Documents.”
In a story so moronic that it is painful to have to write about it (they’re practically daring me to use the ‘r’ word, and I’ll do it, just try me), the 100% government-controlled, perfectly useless, heinously criminal corporate media was made out to be the hero of the evolving narrative. As I type this, I can feel the IQ points storming out of my cranium in a huff, bags hastily packed, irate at just being asked to consider this ridiculous fairy tale sufficiently credible to even make fun of it. It’s the kind of story I would usually blithely ignore, except that a hastily-assembled taradiddle like this one evidences a historic, narrative-wrecking goof up of Bidenic proportions.
As Tennyson used to say about the poor doomed soldiers of the Light Brigade, not though the soldier knew, someone, somewhere, had blundered.
And how.
According to the breathless media reports, in the speediest investigation in history, by crack investigative journalists sprinting past law enforcement, diligent New York Times sleuths supposedly nabbed the Minecraft Papers leaker — who allegedly had physical access to top-secret, print-only documents from five different intelligence agencies — who was promptly taken down in a massive FBI raid.
The devilish traitor — definitely NOT a whistleblower exposing official White House lies, no, never, this is NOT like the Pentagon Papers at all, how dare you, do you love Putin or something? — is supposed to be a 21-year-old part-time member of the Air National Guard and video game aficionado.
Give me a break. The story is utterly preposterous and the Journal knows it. Although it couldn’t risk biting the withered, decaying hand that feeds it tasty intelligence snacks, the Journal still couldn’t quite help expressing some thinly-veiled skepticism:
It wasn’t immediately clear why somebody with his job title—cyber transport systems journeyman—would have access to the types of files that have surfaced.
You don’t say! I can’t wait to hear the convoluted cock and bull they come up with to explain how videogamer Jack Texiera, 21, outwitted the top intelligence agencies in the country. This should be good.
The Journal reported with a straight face that Joe Biden and President Zelenskyy both said the leaks were completely harmless and didn’t give away anything worth noting. The leaked files “have no operational significance,” Mykhailo Podolyak, a Ukrainian presidential adviser, said in an interview. “They have no impact on the front line or the planning of the General Staff.” The Former Vice President, when asked for an update on the leak investigation Thursday during a trip to Dublin, said he was concerned that the leak happened, but “there’s nothing contemporaneous that I’m aware of that’s of great consequence.”
Well then, what’s all the hoopla about?
Meanwhile, the alphabet networks (CNN, MSNBC, etc) piled on Mr. Texiera, breathlessly reporting the young Massachusetts man is a racist, sexist, homophobe with a gun fetish and probably a Trump supporter. In other words, he’s a terrifically bad person. Virtue signal fail. So obviously Mr. Texiera can’t be a whistleblower or anything good like that.
Coincidentally, this was also, of course, the official, government-approved narrative:
... I hardly know where to start with this ridiculous buffoonery. We are meant to believe that a junior Air National Guardsman somehow collected top-secret documents from multiple highest-level intelligence sources and then plunked them onto his Minecraft video game server for no reason whatsoever. And then somehow the New York Times, which still can’t even find Antifa or ActBlue, somehow traced the leak all the way back to Texiera before the FBI, CIA, DoD, NSA, and everyone else who was looking for him.
Still — all of of this crack reporting blindly ignores the plain fact that Texiera — if he really was the leaker, and regardless of how virtuous he is or isn’t — is actually a hero who apparently single-handedly uncovered the U.S. government’s illegal secret proxy war and top officials’ countless lies to Congress and the American people.
Can someone remind me how you spell “patsy?”
That is because mainstream journalists are compromised and biased.
This isn't just poor framing. This isn't unintentional mischaracterization. This isn't accidental distortion. This is laughable propaganda that should have every honest individual associated with the paper in any capacity heading for the doors barring some kind of retraction and apology. Note that it's not just the agenda-pushing that is offensive here.
The fact that something like this could be published speaks directly to the lack of respect the New York Times has for the intellect and integrity of their readership. They clearly believe that readers will be either too stupid to think through the audacious ignorance of their claim, or be willing to ignore the outlet's dishonesty in order to further their shared objectives in the culture war.
Just pause and consider what believing the Times' premise would require. If this battle over transgender ideology was truly the work of conservatives desperate to find an issue to fundraise on, that would mean that up until just a few years ago, everyone on earth accepted the idea that there was no distinction between male and female, that gender was wholly separate from biological sex, and that there is simply a sliding scale of sexuality that an individual can move freely along their entire life.
Then, into this settled reality, came conservative social warriors who decided to upend what we all understood. These dastardly conservatives advanced a new and preposterous notion that there exists a male/female gender binary between which all human beings can be properly and scientifically distinguished. Suddenly, a culture that had always accepted and embraced boys in girls' restrooms, men competing in women's sporting competitions, and the presence of pronoun terms like zie and xyr, was thrown into chaos, warring over their divisive agenda.
No one – not even the most hard-hearted, stubborn, dogged trans activist – believes such a thing. Yet here is the Times, confidently tossing their credibility onto a funeral pyre, trusting that their ideological brethren on the progressive left won't hold them accountable for their dishonesties.
He told all the media there including @nytimes that @TuckerCarlson was fired and Julian Assange is in detention for 'DOING YOUR JOB".
Did you hear about the Alabama mass shooting at a 16th birthday party less than two weeks ago?
[April 15th's] shooting at a 16th birthday party shocked Dadeville, a sleepy east Alabama town of 3,200. Besides the four people killed, 32 others were injured, four of them critically. The Sweet 16 birthday party, at a dance studio just off the town square, was in full swing when gunfire erupted.
Investigators say 18-year-old Phil Dowdell, 23-year-old Corbin Holston, 19-year-old Marsiah Collins, and 17-year-old KeKe Smith were killed in the gunfire. Another 32 people were rushed to hospitals across the region for injuries ranging from minor to critical.
32 people!
... why has the national media silent on this over the last week? You'd think the gun-control advocates would be all over this!
U.S. — After John Durham's newly released report confirmed the Trump-Russia collusion narrative was entirely fabricated, several notable media figures admitted they lied to the American people for 3 years but promised that they're totally telling the truth about everything else.
"I would never lie to the American people. Except for that one time. That doesn't count," said CBS News Anchor Scott Pelley. "Just look at how serious and trustworthy my face is. Look at my sincere gaze as I stare soulfully into the camera and deliver my prepared lines with the gravitas of a real truth-teller. Come on!"
"You can still trust us," agreed CNN Anchor and part-time anonymous message board foot model Jake Tapper. "Even though we divided the country in hatred and anger for three years to try to destroy Trump over a false narrative, and then continued to do so even after we found out it was fake, and then insulted the intelligence of everyone who was skeptical about what we were saying, it doesn't mean we would ever lie to you or anything."
Media-approved anonymous sources claim that 10 out of 10 media experts agree that in spite of the lies about Trump and Russia, Americans should still unquestionably believe every claim the media makes about Ukraine, COVID, domestic terrorism, the 2020 election, and who is a racist and who isn't.
At publishing time, Joy Reid also chimed in, saying everyone who doesn't agree with her is a racist.
The regular CBC "experts" bribed hundreds of thousands of dollars .Watch until the end. This testimony shows CBC planted a fake sign at the convoy and knowingly lied throughout the past 3.5 years at the cost of all good Canadian's. The exposure of the CBC has finally come. Find out how CTV and other mainstream news channels also signed on to be part of a new fake news group with an actual name, so they would all tout the same lies at the same time in unison.Please sign up to volunteer at the Langley, BC location of the NCI for May 2-4.
