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
|
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.
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.
Updates: And the hits just keep right on coming:
In days gone by the Pravda media controlled the narrative and anyone who refused to be interviewed must have had something to hide, but here's what I observed about 60 Minutes going back many years ago. It was the 60 Minutes who was doing the hiding. And they're still doing it.
I’ve never seen this before, but the producers of 60 Minutes sliced and diced (“cut and pasted”) Lyin’ Kamala’s answers to questions, which were virtually incoherent, over and over again, some by as many as four times in a single sentence or thought, all in an effort, possibly illegal as part of the “News Division,” which must be licensed, to make her look “more Presidential,” or a least, better. It may also be a major Campaign Finance Violation. This is a stain on the reputation of 60 Minutes that is not recoverable - It will always remain with this once storied brand. I have never heard of such a thing being done in “News.” It is the very definition of FAKE NEWS! The public is owed a MAJOR AND IMMEDIATE APOLOGY! This is an open and shut case, and must be investigated, starting today! - Donald Trump
Update, 10/11/24, 1:00 PM: ‘Race and Culture Unit’: CBS goes old Soviet Russia-style with new department that approves stories before they’re allowed to air…
If Trump had been interviewed they would have sliced and diced his word also, but in total disregard for the truth.Mike Wallace did a piece on the Moonies, and they said they'd do it only if they showed the entire piece. 60 minutes refused, but they agreed to allow the Moonies to film the whole interview. I noted how the usually smug and confident Mike Wallace didn't show up that day. It was the uncomfortable and a bit nervous Mike who showed up. That was an enlightening moment for me, since it was clear, at least to me, that was because he knew they couldn't cut the interview to suit themselves without being exposed for their corruption. I knew then beyond any doubt Mike Wallace and 60 Minutes wasn't to be trusted, and neither is his son, Chris Wallace.
And this vile partisan corruption is ubiquitous in the media, and has always been so! In Andrea Widburg's article, CBS News continues its decades-long decline into the leftist muck, she starts out saying:
Until the day he retired, my parents revered CBS News’s Walter Cronkite. Combining dignity with a gentle flow of compassion and wisdom, and always with a warm twinkle in his eye, he informed Americans about events worldwide. Then he concluded the show by saying, “And that’s the way it is.” They told me how they wept with him when President Kennedy died, and they believed him when he lied about the U.S. victory in the Tet Offensive, a lie that effectively lost the Vietnam War for America. In those days, CBS News had gravitas, and no one knew understood was pushing propaganda along with its straight news reporting.
She goes on to say CBS interviewed a guy named Ta-Nehisi Coates, whose claim to fame, other than being a vicious antisemitic liar, is"
"..........blacks in America are among the world’s most abused people, victims of a vast “white-wing” (my word) conspiracy, and entitled to scads of money and preferential treatment to compensate for America’s endless sins...... Coates is a communist, he despises Jews and, therefore, the world’s only tiny Jewish nation....
She went on to say:
I also believe that leftists cannot bear the thought of a moral God before whom they’ll one day be called to account. The essence of communism is that they are the gods, and they will not accept competition. Jews, by their very existence, remind communists that they’re probably wrong.
He expected to get the usual disgusting and fallacious fawning interview for which these networks are now famous. That's not what he got, and he was totally unprepared for Tony Dokoupil who actually insisted he "defend those views about Israel." End result? He looked idiotic, and the management at CBS was outraged at the interview. Why? It was racist! And immediately imposed DEI indoctrination on the staff. Let's try and get this right once, just once, please. Truth isn't racist, it's just the truth!
The big take away from all this is these "news" organizations? They've been lying to America for decades, and now America knows it. They're being exposed daily as nothing more than leftist propaganda machines, and are now collapsing under the weight of all their lies.
