Media Criticism (6 Viewers)

[Nugget]

Very puzzling the media gives her very little credit or coverage, and the coverage she was getting was negative. Sears checks all the boxes except one.   Wrong party.

I had never heard of Sears.  I watched her speech on TV, what a positive uplifting person she is. Not the negative BS we hear every day from many. Sears looks at the positives and what can be.

Sears herself is a success story of what can be achieved in this country and life in general.

How many people know more than one Lt. Governor?  I'd bet 90% of Kansans can't name our Lt. Governor, let alone one from another state.

Nothing to see here -- just publicly-funded NPR pitting black people against Asian people a few months after last summer's freak-out over anti-Asian violence, which was often perpetrated by people whose race must not be mentioned.

For the first time in its history, Boston is inaugurating a newly-elected mayor on Tuesday who is not a white man. Michelle Wu – who's Asian American, is the first woman and first person of color elected to lead the city. While many are hailing it as a major turning point, others see it as more of a disappointment that the three Black candidates in the race couldn't even come close.

Many in Boston were hopeful that this would be the year, in this time of racial reckoning, that Boston might elect its first Black mayor, as most of the nation's 30 largest cities have already done.

Three Black candidates were in the race, and one even had the advantage of running as an incumbent, after automatically inheriting the job – as an interim- when former Mayor Marty Walsh left to become Secretary of Labor in the Biden administration. And yet, neither Acting Mayor Kim Janey, nor the others, even made it to the final run-off election this month.

"I got home, and I cried," says Danny Rivera, an artist and civil rights activist in Boston. "I cried my eyes out because I don't know the next time we'll see a Black mayor in our city."

they sure do.  wars against their neighbors & against their own people who disapprove.  countless dead & then they leave their country with whatever graft they can steal.  over & over.

VIDEO: Joy Reid: Two Cases Will Tell Us If Armed, Primarily White Men Can Be Judge, Jury, Executioner Nov 16, 2021 MSNBC

The Kyle Rittenhouse murder trial jury is currently deliberating as the Ahmaud Arbery case continues--cases that will determine if primarily White men serve as judge, jury, and executioner, Joy Reid says.

I'm not sure I'd weigh it out as "fellow Americans" as much as the desire by establishment Democrats to smear poor white rural Christian America as psychotic racists who are executing black Americans at will.

Many of you have sons who will be smeared as potential active school shooters, vigilantes and mass murderers for the crime of being born Caucasian and male. Fixing racism doesn't mean pushing inequality, tyranny and bigotry in a different direction and calling that actual progress.

This person writes for the New York Times.  She is clueless about how inflation works (kind of understandable since inflation hasn't been a thing for 30+ years), but thanks to social media we can also see that she has the emotional maturity of an 8 year-old.

I've mentioned this before, but it's important to understand that it's more likely than not that people like this have always been lying to you.  It's only thanks to social media that we can easily see it for ourselves.    

Here's the idiotic post that she's getting dragged for and handling it so well.  She obviously hasn't looked at the S&P 500 or housing prices recently.

Also, it goes without saying that there's a perfectly good argument out there that inflation isn't really that big a deal compared to the risk of economic upheaval stemming from the pandemic, that it was totally reasonable to go big on fiscal stimulus a year ago even if meant a little more inflation today, that we can't fix the supply chain overnight, etc.  That's obviously not the argument that this economically illiterate NYT writer is making.  There are good arguments, and glue-eating arguments.  Sarah Jeong is in the glue-eating camp.

Did they pay the ghost of Walter Duranty to cover the nation or something? 

That is some serious journalistic malfeasance. They're not a respectable news organization. They're just not. Not with those hires.

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and former Facebook executive Katie Harbath join The Post for back-to-back conversations on the weaponization of misinformation and the efforts to hold social media companies accountable.

The Post stunned the media landscape last week for issuing major corrections following revelations from the ongoing Durham probe that undermined the paper's previous corroboration of claims made in the memo from ex-British spy Christopher Steele, which helped ignite the Russia collusion narrative during the Trump presidency

Wow...just wow...what a bubble these people live in...unless they are having Shiff there to discuss how to weaponize misinformation this has to be a joke.

We can hate on Schiff, and we truly SHOULD, but he is clearly a gifted politician.

I mean, this guy has done some incredible stuff.....terrible.....but pretty incredble.

He lied profusely and orchestrated not one....but two impeachments, that took balls and it took brashness.

Now, he knows all his lies are gradually being exposed, he knows what is coming so what does he do?  He steps out, he pulls in his allies in the media and puts himself out there as being a "truthful" person worried about truth in journalism, and it is not coincidental that WaPo is right on this with him, as an integral mouthpiece for lying for nearly many years now they too have to setup some defence.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry. The man refuses to take any accountability for misleading ALL of America.  He used his position to indicate the Steele Dossier was true.  I only wish people on the other side of the aisle would call him out on this.

Fortunately, we really do not have to do so.

The questioning is a more recent development, arising when people decide the situation has not unfolded to their satisfaction; and then pretending this is some kind of crime against them.

I am not clear how we unwind the "I am a victim" mentality though.

I don’t know how we unwind it either, but it feels like a snowball getting bigger.  Maybe it’s from these cases being televised.

I don't question the trial or the jury, but I certainly question the media when a major outlet is trying influence a decision by threatening the jury pool.  That's horrific.

Surprisingly cover from Jesse Watters of Fox (who is an idiot):

During Thursday’s broadcast of The Five, however, Watters noted that Morrison’s actions during a blockbuster trial was actually quite common for the news business.

The Fox host insisted the situation was only “serious because he got caught.” He also speculated that Morrison was “probably a stringer who’s trying to land an exclusive” for NBC’s Today show.

“All big networks do that,” continued the Fox star who built his career by stalking liberal reporters and activists on-camera. “They have a bunch of people all over Kenosha trying to identify a juror and get that great access because the first juror interview is going to be the interview no matter how it shakes out.”

Maybe one good thing to come out of the Rittenhouse trial (besides of course a young man getting justice) is that people may finally realize how full of #### "fact checkers" are.

Despite the court now clearly stating the facts with video evidence and testimony, Polifact still rates the comment false because "they feel" it is still false. Not exactly fact checking are they.

As a person who has been interviewed in some articles in some very small town newspapers no one knows better how the media can get things wrong. That being said in the day in age of video  and seeing social media posts as well as official statements from our politicians it's hard to believe how so many would be suckered in to believing so many facts are fake news.

Unfortunately it appears to be getting easier and easier because many have pre-conceived notions or are just outright ideological bigots about others so they seem to be perfectly content believing something as long as it is a narrative they want to be true…unfortunately too many media members believe in the George Costanza theory of “it’s not a lie if you believe it.”

Chris Cuomo used his media sources to track down information on his brother's harassment victims.

CNN host Chris Cuomo used his sources in the media world to seek information on women who accused his brother Andrew Cuomo, then the governor of New York, of sexual harassment, according to documents released Monday by the New York Attorney General’s Office.

While Chris Cuomo has previously acknowledged advising his brother and his team on the response to the scandals, the records show that his role in helping the then-governor was much larger and more intimate than previously known.

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/11/29/cnn-host-chris-cuomo-used-sources-to-find-info-on-andrew-cuomo-accusers-records.html

He's still employed by CNN.  This is the same company whose top legal analyst masturbated on a Zoom work call.  

This isn't a credible news organization.  It's sunk to MSBC/Fox tier trash journalism.

Probably should have but the left was so busy declaring this guy a hero for how he handled COVID they ignored it.

Not only did they deliberately ignore all the evidence on him being a sexual predator, they were also wrong on how he handled Covid.  Turns out putting the the elderly in homes where COVID was running rampant had the opposite effect of saving lives.  Who knew, right?
