Media Collapse is Inevitable, and it's a Good Morning in America! Part VIII

By Rich Kozlovich, Tags: My Media Commentaries

This this series will continue focusing on the individual media entities based on the articles I've been saving for some time.  The amount of information I've stored on CNN and MSNBC is so large they will be featured separately.  Other's will be featured together,  such as the Associated Press, CBS, and NBC.  

Let's start with the AP 

 

These media elites are outraged that Trump has officially banned the AP from Air Force One and the Oval Office, and they're calling for boycotts of Trump in support of AP’s speech codes, and Trump renaming the Gulf of Mexico, the Gulf of America.  I think that's loony, but, nothing as loony as all the stuff Biden did.  They just don't get it, they're toast, and Trump doesn't care what they think or say.  And much of what they say is contemptible, such as their headline over the murder of Israeli hostages.  Hamas murdered Shiri Bibas and her two children, paraded their coffins through the streets to cheering crowds and AP's take.  "They died in captivity".  Absolutely vile and contemptible. 

They complain they're being silenced, but as Jack Hellner points out they, along with other media nitwits, should look in the mirror when they complain about being silenced.  They're not being silenced as they've done to so many others in the past.  They can say and print whatever they please, they just don't have a "right" to have access to the White House, and now, a  federal judge agrees with the President.

While claiming to be the source of truth, justice, and free speech, implying they're being kicked to the curb will prevent freedom of the press, and impose censorship, in reality, AP has been just as vile as all the rest of the Pravda media.  They specialize in twisting words and definitions in more corrupt ways than seems possible, and they have what they call a "stylebook" that helps them to do it.  

The AP is even more hypocritical for accusing the Trump administration of controlling language when its stylebook notoriously adopted leftist neologisms and politically correct euphemisms that everyone in certain professions was forced to use. The AP stylebook banned the use of illegal alien because “many immigrants and migrants have some sort of documents, but not the necessary ones.” That’s coming from the same organization which complains about calling a body the Gulf of America. The AP has no leg to stand on, no defense and no shame.

CBS

If you think the 30 million settlement with NBC (we'll come back to that) is huge, try this.  CBS is being sued for $10 Billion Lawsuit by Trump For Deceptively Editing ’60 Minutes’ Interview with Kamala Harris, and they're wanting to settle.

And this doesn't appear to be an anomaly.  This kind of corruption seems to be standard operating procedure at CBS.

• Disgraced ’60 Minutes’ Misleads Viewers on USAID Staff Reductions - Sunday’s episode of the disgraced 60 Minutes from far-left CBS News worked overtime to mislead its gullible viewers about the recent layoffs at USAID, a left-wing slush fund paid for with about $40 billion taxpayer dollars each year.  Despite the U.S. Senate’s previous good-faith attempts to discover where all that money went, the USAID bureaucrats stalled and stalled. No one could find out how those billions were being spent, which was the whole point. What we had was an unaccountable federal agency spending billions with no oversight or accountability.

Margaret Brennan scolded Marco Rubio on free speech suggesting that's what caused the Holocaust.  Apparently she didn't get the memo, there was no free speech in Nazi Germany. As Mark Tapson stated her thinking amounts to “One of the most deranged analogies ever.”  And she kept doubling down with her nonsense in spite of a major kickback from the public who attacked her factually and historically.  The fact is, ya just can't fix stupid.

• Margaret Brennan’s Face-Plant on Free Speech: Welcome to Face the Nonsense - 

Here’s the reality. In times past she would have gotten away with her ignorance because so many interviewees were afraid to attack their stupidity. But those days are over, and that started with Newt Gengrich when he was running for President in 2012 and during the debates he went after the “moderators” and made them look ridiculous…. and all of a sudden…. bells went on in the heads of conservative politicians, and that mentality has only grown as the talking heads became even less capable.  Make no mistake, most of these talking heads are not that smart, and they certainly not that knowledgeable, their really big concern is if they have their make up on, all the other stuff is handed to them my off screen lackeys, who are just as dumb. Except for The View…. even their lackeys aren’t that stupid.  

 

The Global Elites are at war to prevent free speech with the support of all the Pravda media networks, and the European powers, the only problem they have is the United States Constitution.  That stands in the way of making that international law. 

 

CBS is a disaster.  They're ratings are dropping, and somehow they think by changing one far left talking head with other far left talking heads they can turn that around.  As one producer notes, “They took the ‘news’ out of the ‘Evening News!’ It’s not surprising the audience is leaving in droves.”

NBC

Let's not paddle around the pond, NBC is in trouble, as both CNN and NBC are dumping staff, a lot of staff, simply because no one is watching their corruption of thought, fact, logic, and reality, and their revenue is plummeting in alignment with their ratings, and when cable crashes in favor of streaming, and all that lovely, lovely cable money comes to a halt, they're doomed. 

It gets worse, not only are they losing revenue, they're going have to pay for their lies.....big time payments.   NBC was sued by a Georgia doctor who as defamed by Rachel Maddow, Nicolle Wallace, and Chris Hayes.

NBC's top anchors made ‘verifiably false’ statements about a doctor they accused of performing ‘mass hysterectomies’ on female inmates at ICE facility, a federal judge ruled last year.....A federal judge ruled last year that the MSNBC hosts made 39 "verifiably false" statements about Amin. The judge found that a jury could reasonably conclude the network acted with "actual malice." Internal NBC documents revealed lingering doubts among reporters about the whistleblower’s claims, but aired the story anyway. Emails and texts uncovered during discovery showed that journalists, including Maddow and Hayes, had early reservations about the allegations.

And NBC settled for $30 million.  Normally settlements are cheaper than trials, win or lose, but this isn't one of those times.  Why would NBC settle for such a huge amount of money?  Mike McDaniel explains: 

Settlements are common in civil suits. In many cases it makes sense to settle to avoid ridiculously high legal costs and general embarrassment, but that holds true only if the settlement amount is relatively small. That’s not going to be true in this case, and NBC surely didn’t want their malicious internal communications revealed in public, not after this..........Even these five reporters and anchors weren’t alone. Numerous producers and editors were also involved. The false reports were based on the testimony of Dawn Wooten, a nurse, who eventually admitted she made it all up. That, of course, didn’t stop MSNBC......

If this continued and NBC had to open their files during discovery it's my view they would be facing even more devastating lawsuits.
