DOBBS AND THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA

Extremists on Both Sides Are Enabling Violence | Opinion

The above article was written by my old Jaded Politics amigo Darvio "The Kingpin" Morrow. Here is just a sample...

"...Bail reform efforts can be commendable. But they should never be applicable to people accused of violent felonies, something most reasonable, rational people who support bail reform understand. The problem is when elite academics and political morons who live in online echo chambers hijack the discourse. That's when the conversation devolves from 'Police Accountability' to 'Defund the Police' to 'Abolish the Police.' That's when bail reform for people arrested on low-level crimes like marijuana possession turns into 'bail reform for anybody accused of anything'..."

Conservative Support for Andrew Coffee IV Is Opportunistic Hypocrisy

Here is just a sampling from the link above...

"...This brand of conservatives is so laser-focused on opposing the left that they are willing to sacrifice truth and justice at the altar of 'owning libs.'  Instead of taking a look at the facts of cases and making their own determination as to what 'justice' looks like, they look to the left to see what they are doing so that they can do the exact opposite.  Instead of taking a moment to acknowledge that we are failing at 'liberty and justice for all,' they are busy googling 'black guy self-defense acquittal.' They aren’t choosing what to support.  They are choosing to oppose BLM and the left at all costs.

Both of these cases are tragedies.  Both of these cases are examples of injustice.  Both deserve our support and outrage and not just when it serves our narrative.  If anything, the Breonna Taylor case is more of an injustice and something for which we should be more outraged, but I guess there were no white kids recently acquitted of self-defense at the time..."

New York Post Pens Delicious 'Toldjah So' After Politico 'Confirms' Some Hunter Biden Laptop Emails

They knew this was true last year but tried to bury and/or discredit it for political reasons. The media in this country is even worse than it was sixteen years ago when I referred to "[t]he depravity to which the journalistic profession has fallen since the days of Watergate" and other such statements in a lengthy expository musing on the death of Deep Throat and the problems in journalism that were wrought in the wake of what Woodward and Bernstein did. Here is just a sample: 

The depravity to which the journalistic profession has fallen since the days of Watergate can be to some extent pinned on Woodward and Bernstein...not as much them personally as what they ushered in in the aftermath of the Nixon resignation.[...] The journalistic profession has become one where you "make it" by finding someone whose reputation you can destroy. Ethics are often not a factor, indeed morals and ethics often get the screw from journalists who are trying to "make it" and then (for those who "make it") the same tactics are utilized to try and stay "on top." The same is the case with the legal profession and the political profession: oftentimes those who "make it" do so by screwing other people. So the parallel to prostitution is an apt one. The only difference of course is that prostitutes are somewhat honest about it. But enough on that subject for now. 

To summarize these musings, Woodward and Bernstein by their approach to "Deep Throat" ushered in a new era of journalism which is rotten to the core. It is comprised of people who seek to create news and who are interested in spinning the facts to advance an agenda rather than report on what is happening and letting the readers draw their own conclusions. The ethics in this field are abysmal and a strong reason why the MSM is slowly becoming more and more irrelevant in this new age of alternative media is because they are no longer a monopoly.{1}

If I can criticize myself a bit from the vantage point of more than sixteen years, I was a bit too optimistic back then about alternative media. Yes it does serve to a certain extent as a hedge against the mainstream media but as the coverage of the last election showed, they are just as susceptible to being corrupted as the mainstream media to an escalated degree has been in recent decades. 

The bottom line here is potentially damaging information for the Biden presidential aspirations was deliberately ignored, downplayed, or covered up by the lions share of mainstream media outlets as well as by those running social media platforms. This was done in a coordinated attempt to benefit one political candidate over another with absolutely no possible claim of plausible deniability being possible. For those who wonder why some of us put an asterisk next to President Joe Biden*, it is not without good reasons for doing so.

There has been an update to the Rerum Novarum Miscellaneous page whereby a recently enunciated term was defined. 

Poll: Majority believe US Government and media tried to cover up Wuhan lab leak theory

This is good news to see because it shows that the attempts of the combined mainstream media, social media, and the government (aka the government media complex) to attempt to suppress this hypothesis have failed and failed badly. To wit:

Fifty-seven percent (57%) of voters think it’s likely that U.S. government officials actively tried to cover-up the possibility that the coronavirus was created in a Wuhan, China, Laboratory. A Scott Rasmussen national survey found that 26% consider it unlikely and 17% are not sure.

That total includes 35% who say it’s Very Likely and 11% who think it’s Not at All Likely.

Seventy-four percent (74%) of Republicans consider a cover-up to be at least somewhat likely. Independent voters, by a 52% to 22% margin, tend to agree. Democrats are more evenly divided: 45% believe U.S. government officials actively engaged in a cover-up while 39% disagree.

I am not about to go into this again as I recently did in so HERE. Suffice to say, I was heartened by this thread today because sometimes you wonder just how much the attempts of the government media complex to try and cover this up and shame anyone who dared to not accept the officially sanctioned story were succeeding. The evidence of the latter would seem to be on the side of "not very well."

A.U.D.I.T. of Elections: Is the Dam Breaking?

Remember Donald Trump-touted hydroxychloroquine? Study in India backs it as Covid-19 cure

I wanted to get hydroxychloroquine for my father in law Frank Barone as a last ditch effort to try and save him and was unable to. Why? Because those who cared more about playing politics got in the way. 

It bears endless repetition but something is not true or false based on who said it but instead on objective criteria. What that means is that even a complete jabronie can be right at times and persons who have real integrity will recognize this. But those playing politics do not. And among them were those who were much less concerned about truth on this vital matter than in "beating Trump." They had a hand in Frank Barone's death and I will neither forget nor forgive this.

They can all go to hell!

Briefly...

On the Chauvin verdict, I thought second degree manslaughter was most likely, third degree murder feasible, and second degree murder would be unlikely. I was wrong on the latter, Chauvin was found guilty on all counts.

Top Arizona News Anchor Declares 'Journalism Is Dead,' Publicly Resigns: 'I No Longer Want to Do This Job'

I have written on the problems in the media a number of times over the years with this posting being among the most recent. After how the media conducted themselves in the last election, we basically do not have real journalism anymore. The sooner folks accept this reality, the easier it will be for them.

Time Magazine Gushingly Profiles The Successful ‘Conspiracy’ To Rig The 2020 Election

To reiterate what I said earlier in the week:

This is by far and away and without a shadow of doubt the most important media election article of the year. It exposes what a number of us have to varying degrees suspected and furthermore makes it clear why no one should take seriously anyone or anything that is pushed by the mainstream media, social tech giants, etc. 

...  

[A] healthy skepticism of anything and everything these outlets have been pushing is no longer just advisable but is now mandatory. Another requirement is presuming defacto that any story pushed by these outlets is false until proven to the contrary beyond a reasonable doubt. And that is the bottom line.

The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign That Saved the 2020 Election

This is by far and away and without a shadow of doubt the most important media election article of the year. It exposes what a number of us have to varying degrees suspected and furthermore makes it clear why no one should take seriously anyone or anything that is pushed by the mainstream media, social tech giants, etc. 

It is not a license to believe any crackpot conspiracy kook shit out there of course. However, a healthy skepticism of anything and everything these outlets have been pushing is no longer just advisable but is now mandatory. Another requirement is presuming defacto that any story pushed by these outlets is false until proven to the contrary beyond a reasonable doubt. And that is the bottom line.

Chief Justice John Roberts won’t preside over the Senate impeachment trial

With the absence of the only government official constitutionally required to preside over impeachment trials involving a president, this time wasting farce is delegitimized at the outset.

Never Trumpers Play the Moral Authority Card on Anti-Lockdown Conservatives, Get the Responses They Deserve

It would be less than honest if I did not admit that I was #NeverTrump back in 2015-2016 including supporting Gary Johnson in that election. (Not a chance in hell was I going to vote for #Hildabeast.) But over time, my views of President Trump changed insofar as I both liked many of his policies but did not like him personally. In some areas, he governed a lot better than I thought he would. And I am unaware of any president who was treated as unfairly as he has been by the loathesome media industrial complex so that factor brings about a certain degree of sympathy from me for what he has gone through -even if some of it was self inflicted by not knowing when the hell to shut up. But that is neither here nor there.

Despite all of that and much more, I grew over time to dislike and eventually loathe Never Trumpers for the skeevy grifting pieces of trash most of them are. The above article is just one example of countless ones I could post showing the depths of mental and other sickness prevalent on these most disgusting of people. And may they never be given relevance again by anyone with a normal intact functioning brain.

Here is my dilemma: the same big media and big tech sources insisting all is well and there is nothing to see here viz potential widescale fraud and all have proven themselves repeatedly over the years to be a bunch of untrustworthy fucking liars and scum. 

So when proven untrustworthy fucking liars and scum march in lockstep trying to censor legitimate inquiries, I instinctively will support the latter because I have zero trust with the untrustworthy fucking liars and scum of big media and big tech. I would not piss on them if they were on fire and I will immediately distrust apriori everything they say about anything.
