Leftist Journalist Matthew Dimitri discovered a BOMBSHELL on so-called Journalist Glenn Greenwald lying about Conservative Radio Show Hosts in regards to transrights...

Oh wait... nevermind.

It's a she now.

Hah! I've got five bucks I need to collect from an anti-Gamergate fuckhead.

You know for sure a controversy in the west is fake or at least purposefully misrepresented when official CCP twitter accounts give it the kiss of death:

The BBC is clearly an excellent source of information regarding American independent journalists. Never met Bannon. Met Erik Prince (whose beliefs she loathed then and now) once for a news interview and much much more. #BlueAnon in action in the mainstream media.

Also lets take a moment to thank NBC News for assisting the CCP in justifying its cancellation of the pro-Democracy Apple Daily newspaper and the arrest of many of its staff and leadership.

How NBC News was used by the CCP to further the demise of democracy in Hong Kong

China accused the Apple Daily of "fake news" based on NBC's sloppy reporting and used this made-up allegation to in their campaign to destroy Hong Kong's pro-democracy newspaper.

It was in their attempts to run cover for the the Biden campaign and Joe's erstwhile son Hunter that NBC News' sought to discredit a document that was published which purported to show that the Biden's business dealings in China were both shady and had influenced Biden's policy positions on China.

As part of the story, NBC News' claimed that the document was commissioned by the Apple Daily. The Apple Daily, as well as the publisher of the document, have both denied these allegations.

But in reporting that Apple Daily was involved in the document, NBC gave ammunition to the Chinese Communist Party, which has been actively suppressing, censoring, and destroying Hong Kong's pro-democracy independence movement since at least 2019.

China's spokesperson in the United States, Liu Pengyu, said on Friday that NBC had reported that Apple Daily manufactured a fake report designed to impact the US presidential election through implicating Joe Biden's son, and by association candidate Biden himself, in shady business dealings in China.

This happened with Tucker Carlson not so long ago as any Leftist could tell you... but strangely it was overlooked when it happens to Rachel Maddow of MSNBC. This opinion arose from when OAN filed a lawsuit against Rachel Maddow when the latter called OAN "paid Russian propaganda" and the Judge dismissed the lawsuit stating that Rachel Maddow doesn't report the news, but her own opinion and exaggeration of the facts.

For her to exaggerate the facts and call OAN Russian propaganda was consistent with her tone up to that point, and the Court finds a reasonable viewer would not take the statement as factual given this context. The context of Maddow’s statement shows reasonable viewers would consider the contested statement to be her opinion. A reasonable viewer would not actually think OAN is paid Russian propaganda, instead, he or she would follow the facts of the Daily Beast article; that OAN and Sputnik share a reporter and both pay this reporter to write articles. Anything beyond this is Maddow’s opinion or her exaggeration of the facts.

“Maddow’s show is different than a typical news segment where anchors inform viewers about the daily news,” an Obama-appointed judge ruled.

So she got off on the same reasoning that those Fox lawyers squashed those charges because no rational person would believe a word he says.

Chris Hayes of MSNBC said at the time, that this was proof that fox only spouts bullshit.

ABC News apparently begged Meghan McCain not to leave The View, even offering her a position on ABC News if she would stay. They can't even keep around an extremely moderate, socially liberal, millenial, Never Trumper Republican like Meghan McCain on The View because the loony co-hosts and their audience have drifted so far leftward.

ABC ‘begged’ Meghan McCain to stay on ‘The View’

ABC didn’t let Meghan McCain go from “The View” without a fight.

The ugly truth the Right doesn't like to talk about when it comes to unemployment numbers.

If people cannot find jobs worth taking compared to what they get on unemployment, they aren't going to re-enter the workforce with any gusto.

Concerns about the deficit are something of a farce and red herring, because the Fed Reserve will always be able to print more money and fiddle with interest rates if inflation gets too bad.

So I suppose you think inflation is just an irrelevant fantasy concept then?

I think it exists, but I also think the concerns over the deficit are...rather hollow and not really in line with the reality of how the Fed Reserve and modern monetary policy have functioned.

Not to mention the USD is also backed by the US nuclear arsenal, so it will never go the way of the Wiemar, even if we have inflation for a while.

You can find a job easily.
One just has to be willing to work to get higher pay

Isn't that just an admission though that there are jobs out there that aren't worth the pay being offered to do them?

Somewhat.
Depends on if you want to pennypinch for a few years or not

 

[Bear Ribs]

My experience in the job market is that jobs that want you to penny-pinch for a few years before you get to the good-paid position intend to fire you once you actually get there and hire another sucker to penny-pinch for a few years.
