Mainstream and Social Media 1

I know there is a lot here. Peruse as time permits. 

Here is another example of arrogant and self-righteous left wing censorship of people, ideas, thoughts that they find offensive because they do not comport with their Marxist world view. Quote: "TikTok has permanently banned PragerU from its platform for “multiple violations” of its community guidelines. The tech giant removed PragerU’s account altogether—giving us no way to appeal the decision! We can’t even view the content that was supposedly in violation of TikTok’s policies!  

This is blatant censorship.  TikTok is a platform most frequently used by young people, primarily those under the age of 18, to share video content. This is a vital age group being brainwashed by the left that we must reach." These people are unethical anti-Americans and have absolutely no tolerance for the truth or facts.    CenturyLink Webmail: BREAKING: TikTok bans PragerU!   


The left wing mainstream media way too often fails to check facts before jumping on and reporting false or inaccurate information if it serves their political interests. They, too often, also ignore or give lip service for corrections when facts contradict what they reported. But when it is a big deal boo boo they reluctantly have to backtrack and correct themselves. Happens way too often. Anyway this is one they had to retract. Quote: "New York Times, Washington Post, NBC News All Forced To Retract False Claims About Trump Lawyer Rudy Giuliani. The biggest papers of record in the U.S. — The New York Times and The Washington Post — have been forced to retract a report about the FBI’s communication with former President Trump’s longtime lawyer Rudy Giuliani. The Post on Thursday was the first to report that Giuliani was explicitly warned by the FBI that he was the target of a Russian effort to influence the 2020 presidential election. Citing unnamed sources — identified only as people familiar with the matter — also said the conservative news network One America News (OAN) was also warned by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. But on Saturday, the Post put out a correction noting it had removed both assertions. “An earlier version of this story, published Thursday, incorrectly reported that One America News was warned by the FBI that it was the target of a Russian influence operation,” the correction reads. “That version also said the FBI had provided a similar warning to Rudolph W. Giuliani, which he has since disputed. This version has been corrected to remove assertions that OAN and Giuliani received the warnings,” the paper said. The original story said Giuliani was in fact targeted. “The FBI became aware in late 2019 that Rudolph W. Giuliani was the target of a Russian influence operation aimed at circulating falsehoods intended to damage President Biden politically ahead of last year’s election, according to people familiar with the matter,” said the piece. “Officials planned to warn Giuliani as part of an extensive effort by the bureau to alert members of Congress and at least one conservative media outlet, One America News, that they faced a risk of being used to further Russia’s attempt to influence the election’s outcome, said several current and former U.S. officials. All spoke on the condition of anonymity because the matter remains highly sensitive.” The Times also corrected its erroneous report. “An earlier version of this article misstated whether Rudolph W. Giuliani received a formal warning from the F.B.I. about Russian disinformation. Mr. Giuliani did not receive such a so-called defensive briefing,” The Times wrote Saturday in a correction attached to the bottom of the story."    New York Times, Washington Post, NBC News All Forced To Retract False Claims About Trump Lawyer Rudy Giuliani | The Daily Wire   I will acknowledge that several other outlets have since corrected their false remarks, too.


CNN is filled with disgusting human beings like Ana Navarro who pretend to be as pure as the driven snow but is without just cause is able to opine that Trump supporters are: “a bunch of eunuchs on their knees worshipping at the altar of Donald Trump.” I need not remind her that what she says exactly defines what she and her fellow CNN denizens and other mainstream media mavens did while "his majesty" Barack Obama was in office.   CNN’s Disgusting NEW NAME For Trump Supporters – Captial Hill (capitalhill.org)


After that previous item consider this most interesting item regarding the Democrat journalists many of whom are among the most reprehensible characters of dishonesty and partanship on the planet. Here are a few choice quotes:

          "Professional journalists have, at least in theory, devoted their lives to the noble art of speaking truth to power, of comforting the afflicted and afflicting the comfortable, of saving democracy from certain death in darkness. In practice, however, this devotion tends to waver depending on which political party controls the White House.

         "When Democrats are in charge, for example, our noble journalists can't help but be consumed by "The Awkward Feeling of Rooting for the White House Press Secretary." So reads the headline of a Jen Psaki profile published in Washingtonian magazine. Members of the White House press corps, writes Jessica M. Goldstein, are "quite taken with how polite she is," while casual viewers are "wooed by what one could describe as little more than competence porn."

        "Psaki is praised for her ability to "brush off questions," "deflect queries," and withhold information from journalists. "She's never going to be super-helpful, and that's frustrating, but that's kind of her job," said the anonymous reporter. The profile notes that "indignation … seems to have abated" after Psaki was called out over her homophobic tweets about Sen. Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.). Imagine that! The T.J. Ducklo fiasco is briefly mentioned, but the reader is given no insight into Psaki's role in the controversy."

       "The piece also notes Psaki has managed to avoid being assailed as an example of "white privilege" after getting the White House press secretary gig, even though she did not work on Joe Biden's campaign. (She worked for a controversial consulting firm with ties to China instead.)  Biden chose Psaki over Symone Sanders, a qualified black woman who served as a senior adviser on his campaign and whose lifelong dream is becoming White House press secretary."

        "A lot of those people in the Obama administration were assholes," said a White House reporter. "There's a myth that the press liked the Obama administration. Those Obama guys—just listen to Pod Save America. Imagine that smugness and smirking, on steroids, with people who are empowered to manage stories and are called upon to yell at you when they don't like a story. They were f—ing awful."     Speaking Truth to Power: Magazine Reveals How Journos Are 'Rooting' for WH Press Secretary Jen Psaki (freebeacon.com)
