Some media cringe. Remember that big story carried by luminaries such as the New York Times and Washington Post about how Cumulus Media, the third biggest radio station corporation in America, was demanding its right wing personalities stop talking about election fraud or be terminated immediately and how particular talk show hosts such as Mark Levin, Ben Shapiro and Dan Bongino were singled out by name as both being under threat of censoring as well as promoting conspiracies...

Well...

Mark Levin: WashPost NEVER Called Me to Confirm Story About Memo from Cumulus Media

Early on Monday morning, Washington Post media reporter Paul Farhi posted a hot story headlined “Talk-radio owner orders conservative hosts to temper election fraud rhetoric.” It said “Cumul

So along with making up stories of Cumulus cancelling its right wing talk radio hosts and then using those stories to put pressure on the other radio corporations "for comment" to see if they too would follow suit on this faux controversy as below...

iHeartMedia which runs rival syndication group Premiere Networks and represents Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity, has not commented about whether it has sent any guidance to its hosts.

...our prestigious newspapers of record had largely been mum for literally making things up based on "leaked internal memos" from random leftist Music bloggers.

I usually find it hard to bear James O'Keefe and some of the shady/deceptive tactics that Project Veritas engages in... but this video takedown of the New York Times trying to dismiss their lawsuit is pretty hilarious.



That's some rare good form... with lots of emotive acting with his hands and posture.

And that unfortunate Twitter Profile Picture of NYT Political Reporter Maggie Astor.

Rick Davis, CNN's longest serving Executive, had some onair advice for CNN's Host of Reliable Sources, Brian Stelter.

“I think you need to strive to have more voices on the show from right of center — responsible voices from right of center,” said Davis, the cable network’s outgoing vice president of standards and practices.

“And occasionally, when you can, you want to have some newsmakers on who can express to you how they feel about the media, particularly if they feel like the media got it wrong. And let them talk about it,” Davis said.

Top CNN exec Rick Davis says ‘Reliable Sources’ needs conservative guests

A top veteran CNN exec says the network’s liberal weekly news show “Reliable Sources’’ needs to be more balanced by adding conservative guests. Rick Davis — founding executive producer of the show …

Brian Stelter replied by staring at the camera and nodding slightly, perhaps thinking in his mind some variation of the term "Okay Boomer."

Bad news guys. Iran has imported the exact same nuclear reactor used by North Korea to advance their nuclear program. Not just the technology or resources though... LITERALLY THE ENTIRE PLANT. Buildings, Infrastructure. Grounds. Local terrain.

CNN's Nuke Plant Photos Identical for Both Iran and N. Korea!

Who's the source for the photos?! | And are there <i>any</i> responsible corporate media outlets left in America?!

For one, even if the nuclear deal goes through, I though nK was not allowed to do this kinda stuff. And why are we letting them

Since when has the view ever been professional?

I don't understand why people even bother being guests on that show - there's certainly enough out there about them just ganging up and attacking people they have on.

People who are naive or people who think they can beat a rigged game.

To be fair Norm MacDonald took them for a ride back in the day.

The Los Angeles Times posts a very disturbing suburban horror style story... What if you were neighbors with Trump supporters and they were "nice" to you as well?

Oh, heck no. The Trumpites next door to our pandemic getaway, who seem as devoted to the ex-president as you can get without being Q fans, just plowed our driveway without being asked and did a great job.

This is how it starts...

Hezbollah, the Shiite Islamist political party in Lebanon, also gives things away for free. The favors Hezbollah does for people in the cities Tyre and Sidon probably don’t involve snowplows, but, like other mafias, Hezbollah tends to its own — the Shiite sick, elderly and hungry. They offer protection and hospitality and win loyalty that way. And they also demand devotion to their brutal, us-versus-them anti-Sunni cause.

Uhhh...

So here’s my response to my plowed driveway, for now. Politely, but not profusely, I’ll acknowledge the (Ben) Sassian move. With a wave and a thanks, a minimal start on building back trust. I’m not ready to knock on the door with a covered dish yet.

I also can’t give my neighbors absolution; it’s not mine to give. Free driveway work, as nice as it is, is just not the same currency as justice and truth. To pretend it is would be to lie, and they probably aren’t looking for absolution anyway.

Good grief... these people... 💩

Remember, these are the people that demand "Unity" and "healing". They deserve only hate and venom.

You know where in the movie The Black Hole that Harry decides to fake an injury and steal the Palomino to save his own dumb ass instead of waiting for the rest of the crew and then rams it into Cygnus? He was one of the better journalists.
