Mask Droppings Dept 2023-09-13
I never expected anything this brazen, even from the Usurper Regime: 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. …

Drooling Joe’s puppet masters summon their flying monkeys
You can almost hear them screeching “ATTACK! ATTAAAAAAAACK!” Biden’s White House is planning to send a letter to some of the country’s most prominent news organizations — including CNN, The New York Times, and Fox News — urging them to “ramp up their scrutiny” of House Republicans “for opening an impeachment inquiry based on lies.” …

Can we please get the media to stop pretending
Pretending what? That this drooling Chinese hand puppet is somehow sentient. President Biden was accused of being disrespectful after he quickly exited the East Room of the White House before the conclusion of a Medal of Honor ceremony honoring a Vietnam War veteran on Tuesday. Biden, 80, abruptly left the ceremony after fastening the nation’s …

Does anyone else remember how the mainstream media treated President George W. Bush on September 11, 2001? When Dubya received notice of the attack on the World Trade Center, he was reading a story to a classroom full of kids. He continued to do so for a few minutes before attending to the horrifying …

News Tokenism
Tokenism usually refers to the inclusion of a member of some group perceived as “victimized” or “a dispreferred minority.” But there are varieties of tokenism that are unconcerned with such things. Tokenism in the news media can mean grudgingly mentioning something unfavorable to the Left. Here’s an example from CNN: TAPPER: Yes. And …

Honest Opinion, Or Giveaway?
I’m told by a Jewish friend that during what he called the “time of the judges,” the great panel of judges that ruled over the Jews had an interesting rule: a unanimous verdict of guilty automatically acquits the accused. The logic of that rule, my friend said, was that unanimity among 77 judges – …

“National Security,” Again
When it comes to matters that touch upon law or politics, many Americans have chosen to disbelieve the major media as a matter of policy – i.e., as the default condition. This appears to be the majority stance at this time. But as you can imagine, the media don’t like that very much. Rather …

“You still haven’t got over the idea that politicians are important because the newspapers tell you so.” – Sir Frederick Hoyle It’s become critical to our individual and social mental health that we draw a firm distinction between two categories of vermin. The first of these, the politician, runs for elective office. If …

No Pretense
The “media megaphone” (William E. Simon) will no longer tolerate sharply dissenting voices: Now, for a Gentle Reader of Liberty’s Torch, this is “yesterday’s news” – literally. But Beck makes a connection that’s likely to have evaded even some of our most vigilant: the major automakers’ rumbling about no longer building AM radios …

Courage Or Opportunism?
At this point, I’m unable to take any mainstream “journalist” seriously. They strike me as a clique of toadies, ever willing to kowtow before power in the hope of ingratiating themselves and winning “access.” Thus, I entreat you to view the following: I don’t know the “reporter” who condemned Lori Lightfoot to her …
