But while there’s no question that the media has utterly disgraced itself, it’s also a convenient fall guy—by far the weakest player in the counter-disinformation complex. The American press, once the guardian of democracy, was hollowed out to the point that it could be worn like a hand puppet by the U.S. security agencies and party operatives.

It would be nice to call what has taken place a tragedy, but an audience is meant to learn something from a tragedy. As a nation, America not only has learned nothing, it has been deliberately prevented from learning anything while being made to chase after shadows. This is not because Americans are stupid; it’s because what has taken place is not a tragedy but something closer to a crime. Disinformation is both the name of the crime and the means of covering it up; a weapon that doubles as a disguise.

The crime is the information war itself, which was launched under false pretenses and by its nature destroys the essential boundaries between the public and private and between the foreign and domestic, on which peace and democracy depend. By conflating the anti-establishment politics of domestic populists with acts of war by foreign enemies, it justified turning weapons of war against Americans citizens.

Emeryville police had to call for reinforcements from neighboring law enforcement agencies during the four-hour incident involving hundreds of young people fighting.

At approximately 4:30 p.m., police received a call from a business at the Bay Street mall about a group of about 50 young adults inside a store causing a disturbance. Officers arrived and escorted them out.

Police said in a statement that, at about 5:15 p.m. while patrolling the area, officers saw another group of about 100 young people arriving at the mall. Over the next 30 minutes, an additional 100 to 150 young adults showed up at the mall.

"Young adults" is the current euphemism for violent black thugs.

Press Secretary KJP breaks up with partner, CNN host ... wait Biden's White House was LITERALLY IN BED with a CNN host??

I cover the news for a living. I watch Karine Jean Pierre spout Biden propaganda from the White House almost daily.

How in the world did I not know (and I'm assuming you also did not know) that KJP was literally in bed with CNN?

KJP actually just broke up with Suzanne Malveaux, a CNN anchor.



This is an excellent question. Are we just so used to the Democrats and the corporate media being in bed together that it doesn't raise any red flags when the top White House spokesperson was literally the romantic partner of a major network's top anchor?? ...

The couple moved in together in 2014, meaning this romance between a prominent Democrat and an anchor for the supposedly middle-of-the-road, neutral CNN network went on for nearly a decade.

And this didn't really come up when Biden made the appointment!
The swamp runs very deep indeed.

💉 Look out below! This “sponsored content” appeared on Politico’s homepage this morning:



They aren’t giving up, not even close. Stay vigilant!

But at least Politico labeled it as “sponsored,” which is a massive improvement over what they were doing during the pandemic.

Politico is just another of Pfizer's whores.

And it’s worth hauling out this old Project Veritas 2021 chestnut, in which a CNN technical director admitted the network was scheming to pivot to climate hysteria after people got tired of hearing about pandemic hysteria:

BECAUSE anybody that has been paying the least bit of attention knows that television news is corporate and state propaganda. Jen Psaki works for MSNBC, she had the job that Karine Jean-Pierre has now. Everything, and I mean everything on television is propaganda, either social or political.

Television news is obvert political propaganda, but it just gets more subtle when you watch "entertainment".

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSkFyNVtNh8

Well, not that much more subtle.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYZ4IoyztIw

Notice video from January 6th.

Unless you are away from it, you don't notice it. We've always had social propaganda in "entertainment".

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TkPs1SkiEw

That was in the first season of All in the Family, in 1971 - the year I was born. It was aired on February 9, 1971. Homosexuality wasn't generally acceptable until 1990 even then, spottily. Television is propaganda. I remember the panic the government went through when we moved from NTSC to digital, they offered free conversion boxes that would translate digital to NTSC analog. Why did our government offer this? To keep people watching, seriously, you could get a free conversion box, ads for it were up everywhere, for the "lower class".

I know why they offered this, it's an essential tool for control. Television has been the main device for controlling the population for decades, and the Internet might be next, but the Internet is huge, however, you might not be able to find the pockets and small spaces, the refuges that exist. Here you are. This is a small enclave.

Meanwhile, facing an existential threat to the Biden gravy train’s integrity, Biden’s handlers did not stay idle, even if Joe himself was sleeping. Yesterday CNN ran a story headlined, “White House sends letter to news execs urging outlets to ‘ramp up’ scrutiny of GOP’s Biden impeachment inquiry ‘based on lies’.”

The article was deliciously ironic and possibly even a self-parody.

The article’s “news” was that the White House sent all major media executives a letter directing, I mean encouraging, them to ignore the Republican’s “baseless process story.” The letter strongly advocated that the media has a responsibility “to the truth,” meaning the lie, in the form of taking Biden’s side against the Republicans.

That’s where it got hilarious. See how CNN repeatedly characterized the Republican’s impeachment inquiry as “baseless,” as if that were fact, and note how they continually obscured the definition of “evidence,” like we discussed yesterday:

The White House sent a letter to top US news executives on Wednesday, urging them to intensify their scrutiny of House Republicans after Speaker Kevin McCarthy launched an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, despite having found no evidence of a crime…

McCarthy launched the impeachment inquiry Tuesday without a formal House vote in a bid to appease Republicans on his far-right… House Republicans, most of whom have denied that disgraced former President Donald Trump committed any wrongdoing, have long sought to baselessly portray Biden as a corrupt, crime-ridden politician engaged in sinister activities…

The Republican House-led investigations into Biden have yet to provide any direct evidence that the president financially benefited from Hunter Biden’s career overseas.

Haha, that’s Establishment Media even-handed news reporting for ya. And, “Hunter Biden’s career overseas?” His career? Really? What, pray tell, was that “career?” Exactly?

Basically the news was the White House has enlisted the media onto its impeachment-response team and CNN is 100% on board. What else is new?

My suggestion is for the House Oversight Committee to send its own letter to all the media executives, listing the evidence, and calling on them — in the noble Spirit of Watergate, of course — to hold the White House’s muddy feet to the political fire.

https://notthebee.com/article/the-white-house-is-sending-a-letter-to-news-outlets-instructing-them-to-ramp-up-scrutiny-of-biden-impeachment-inquiry

The White House is sending a letter to news outlets instructing them to "ramp up scrutiny" of Biden impeachment inquiry

"Hey, why aren't you guys carrying water for me like you used to? This is a buncha malarkey!"

The White House is writing their close friends in the corporate media and telling them to cover for him better.

Yes, it's real. Even CNN is reporting on the letter.

The White House plans to send a letter to top US news executives on Wednesday, urging them to intensify their scrutiny of House Republicans after Speaker Kevin McCarthy launched an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, despite having found no evidence of a crime.

That last part of the sentence shows that CNN has already got the memo.

Lol, "no evidence" my ass.

https://babylonbee.com/cleanArticle/independent-free-press-anxiously-waiting-for-email-from-biden-administration-with-todays-instructions

WASHINGTON, D.C. — As the sun rose on a new day in America, the staunch guardians of free speech and journalistic integrity that is the media eagerly waited for the daily email from the Biden administration to notify them of the day's official instructions and talking points.

"We don't say a word without knowing what they want us to say," said Joe Scarborough, co-host of MSNBC's Morning Joe. "If the administration doesn't provide us with a bulleted list of things to talk about, we're lost. I mean, seriously, what would we do without the White House giving specific instructions? Objectively discuss current events? Report the news? Don't be ridiculous."

In the age of social media and mass internet access, the public at large has grown bewildered by the mainstream media's blatant refusal to discuss anything related to Joe Biden and his family being involved in alleged corruption scandals. When questioned, members of the media were quick to play defense. "That's not our job," said CNN anchor Jake Tapper. "Reporting the news is not the job of news reporters. We're here to propagate the government's official narrative. Besides, there are no scandals involving the Biden family. None. Zero."

At publishing time, journalists had cheered as the Administration instructed them to cover something about Taylor Swift since there was definitely no news of note going on at the White House.

Besides, even Nicolle Wallace knows by now that the rhetoric from MSNBC and CNN led to real-world violence against Trump supporters. Chased, kicked, spit on, beaten, egged, and even shot, all because MSNBC has demonized them and convicted them as racists in the court of public opinion.

And we can’t forget the casual murder of Trump supporter Aaron "Jay" Danielson...

This level of dehumanization would ordinarily be shamed and criticized by a journalist class that still had an ounce of integrity. But they couldn’t say a thing after Trump actually won, lest they be accused of “normalizing” Hitler.

That’s why they needed a January 6th. Trump supporters just don’t do this. They don’t rage as a mob. They don’t smash windows or break down doors. They don’t storm buildings. But they needed the image of MAGA to be violent; that day had to end that badly; otherwise, nothing else they’ve done since would have gone over so easily.

The media has sold a lie about that day and has remained incurious as to how any of it could have happened, even if they’ve officially lost count of just how many paid informants by the FBI were there that day, not to mention why it took hours to call in the National Guard even after what their informants told them was about to take place way beforehand.

No psy-ops necesary where the Left is concerned. Their violence is allowable and if it borders on the really dangerous, it’s easily covered up. Don’t look over here. Look over there. How can they live with the hypocrisy of the Summer of 2020 and January 6th? Well, it’s easy. One was “mostly peaceful,” and the other was a violent insurrection. ...

Rupert Murdoch, of all people, nailed it when he stepped down as Chairman at Fox:

“Self-serving bureaucracies are seeking to silence those who would question their provenance and purpose. Elites have open contempt for those who are not members of their rarefied class. Most of the media is in cahoots with those elites, peddling political narratives rather than pursuing the truth.”

Besides, even Nicolle Wallace

20 years ago I was confused with people that still listened to television as "news", 10 years ago I was pissed with them, today, I just don't respect them. It's been 20 fucking years of bullshit and lies and if they still can't realize it? Fuck 'em!

This is a NEW dog - a dog named “Commander” - that was born in 2021. This is the Eleventh biting incident that we KNOW of from this young dog. In the four month period from October 2022 to January 2023, there were TEN biting “incidents” - sending one person to the hospital. They went to the hospital, AFTER medical treatment was performed at the White House. We only know this because Judicial Watch did a FOIA for that time period to discover if bites had occurred. These bites were from a one year old dog.

It is probably safe to assume that if there were TEN incidents in that four month period, there are other bites that we don’t know about.

THIS IS THE BIDEN’S SECOND DOG THAT WE KNOW OF THAT HAS TURNED EXTREMELY AGGRESSIVE.

This is not normal.

Dogs that bite without warning is usually because fear aggression.

Unlike most other types of dog aggression, fear aggression in dogs has no warning signs. Because they will react only when they think that there is no other option but to defend themselves, these dogs won’t growl, bare their teeth, or snarl before they nip at their source of fear. In most cases, this behavior is caused by a trauma in the dog’s past.

Fear aggression is often caused by abuse (for instance, a dog getting physically punished or mistreated).

The fact that this is at least the SECOND dog that has developed aggression is not a good look for the Biden family.

No one should have to work in an environment where there is a large, aggressive dog that is biting lots of people so hard that it is sending people to the hospital.

In a normal situation (err.. that means you or I or anyone else), a police report would have been filed about an aggressive dog that drew blood long ago -particularly if someone ended up in the hospital. There would have been a hearing or a court case. A county official or judge would order such a dog euthanized as soon as a history of multiple bites was documented.

Heck, such a story would have made the local newspapers. Ten dog bites in a four month period!

What is wrong with these people? Responsible pet owners do not allow their dogs to bite at least eleven people! Seriously - I hope a presidential nominee takes this up as campaign issue.

🔥 And speaking of woke Representatives, in a CNN interview this week Ayanna Pressley insisted to an increasingly incredulous Jake Tapper that the U.S. “border is secure.” Pressley is more concerned about paying illegal migrants to cross the border.




Here’s how the interview went:

PRESLEY: No doubt about it, our border is secure. And we are in the midst of a humanitarian crisis. And we have to fix a broken system, and …

TAPPER: But if you have millions of undocumented migrants coming into the country, how is the border secure?

PRESLEY: Jake, this is not a new crisis. It does require, uh, more political will and, uh, commitment, and it is a humanitarian crisis and we should treat it as such…

TAPPER: I’m not disagreeing with anything you’re saying except for the idea that the border is secure. I mean, if you have people crossing the border, it is by definition not secure. An argument worth considering is that because our border is so porous, millions of people make this unsafe journey … because the border is not secure. It just seems like such a refusal to acknowledge reality to say the border is secure when we know that millions of people are crossing the border every year.

PRESLEY: (Word salad) climate crisis. Asylum is a human right. We must do more and better. (Word salad) Republican government shutdown…

TAPPER: But would you grant me the point that the border is not secure?

PRESLEY: Jake, that is a conversation for another day.

CNN is getting too close to reporting the truth. Someone's head is going to roll.
