After playing footage of some of the attacks, Carlson accused Biden and Democrats of making them “into political ammunition.”

“Is it really Republican racists doing this, as Joe Biden suggested last night and so many other Democrats have told us?” he asked before bringing on his guest, the author of “Chinese Girl In The Ghetto.”

While Ying Ma acknowledged that some whites doubtless harbor “hostility or resentment” against Asians because of the virus, she also said that “time and time again” the recent “attackers are not white.”

At a March 8 White House event to announce the nomination of two female generals to lead U.S. military combatant commands, President Joe Biden seemed to forget the name of Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and where Austin works. Since the theme of the president’s mental acuity is still associated with memes of former President Donald Trump, the media desperately wanted to forget this happened.

Reality in Soviet news was 100% binary, with all people either heroes or villains, and the villains all in league with one another (an SR was no better than a fascist or a “Right-Trotskyite Bandit,” a kind of proto-horseshoe theory). Other ideas were not represented, except to be attacked and deconstructed. Also, since anything good was all good, politicians were not described as people at all but paragons of limitless virtue — 95% of most issues of Pravda or Izvestia were just names of party leaders surrounded by lists of applause-words, like “glittering,” “full-hearted,” “wise,” “mighty,” “courageous,” “in complete moral-political union with the people,” etc.

Some of the headlines in the U.S. press lately sound suspiciously like this kind of work….

After years of alleging that former-President Trump and, by extension, the Republican Party where doing the bidding of tyrannical Vladimir Putin, Thursday’s edition of CNN Newsroom rolled out the red carpet for propaganda from Mohammed Ali al-Houthi, the leader the group currently fomenting civil war in Yemen commonly known as the Houthis, to express why he and his group, like their Iranian patrons, believe in “death to America.”

Senators and a witness at a Senate hearing Wednesday afternoon called out three left-leaning dark money groups for decrying the existence of conservative dark money groups.

The term “dark money” generally applies to a political organization that doesn’t disclose its donors.

Leaders of the liberal groups People for the American Way, the Center for Media and Democracy, and Take Back the Court told senators that corporate and dark money is corrupting the Supreme Court, but were vague about how.

None of the three liberal nonprofits discloses all donors, The Washington Free Beacon reported, a stance that makes them dark money organizations.

How sacred is a New York Times reporter? Is one required to kowtow in their presence, or merely bow? If one eats a Times reporter, does one become ritually impure?

These critical questions are being settled right now in the clash over Times technology reporter and factually-challenged busybody Taylor Lorenz.

Lorenz spent the bulk of lockdown season stalking the nascent Silicon Valley chat app Clubhouse. In July, she vowed to quit the app forever for not caring enough about ‘user safety’, i.e. protecting Lorenz from all criticism. But of course, like most addicts who pledge to quit, Lorenz’s promise was a farce, and she was soon back on the app.

After the passage of the pork-laden atrocity known as the $1.9 trillion COVID relief bill passed the Senate on a party-line vote on Saturday, ABC spent part of Sunday’s Good Morning America sneering at Republicans for not going along with the package President Biden refused to negotiate with them on. They also warned that Democratic Senator Joe Manchin (WV) would also be a problem since he came from a state that voted for former President Trump.

If you’re a White person who thinks racism only hurts people of color, the story behind an empty, abandoned swimming pool in Missouri might just change your mind.

Only if you have the IQ of a carrot.

These public pools, of course, were for Whites only. But when civil rights leaders successfully pushed for them to be integrated, many cities either sold the pools to private entities or, in the case of Fairground Park, eventually drained them and closed them down for good.

These closures didn’t just hurt Black people, though — they also denied the pleasures of the pool to White people.

Uh, no, it was the efforts of those who tried to force people whom they consitered heretics and sinners to associate with others (that they didn’t want to associate with) that ‘harmed white people’. So it was proglodyte ‘anti-racism’ that harmed white people, not racism — under ‘racism’, white people were just fine.

This is what passes for thinking at CNN.

Ignoring how numerous states across the country had their elections laws unconstitutionally changed in 2020 and certain changes led to mass confusion, Monday’s CBS Evening News was on a mission to smear the Republican Party with lies about them being against the right to vote. With the false claim of “rolling back voter rights,” anchor Norah O’Donnell gaslighted her audience in the opening tease about a supposed “Republican push in more than 40 states to limit voting access.”

When she finally got around to the story 10 minutes later, O’Donnell painted the GOP as radicals targeting minorities.

Steve Sailer points and laughs.

Back in February 2020, the Establishment Press was mostly worrying about the pandemic in terms of how it could lead to racism against Asians by Trump supporters. Now, during the Biden Era, with blacks being caught on video perhaps a little more often than normal attacking blacks (or it could just be randomness or it could just be that blacks have been exuberantly acting out violently more than usual toward everybody all during the Racial Reckoning), they are back to worrying about how Trump is at fault.

An open letter signed by major Irish NGOs — including Amnesty International (AI) and the National Women’s Council (NWC) has called for the removal of media and political representation for women who won’t capitulate to the demands of extreme trans activists.

‘We call on media, and politicians to no longer provide legitimate representation for those that share bigoted beliefs, that are aligned with far right ideologies and seek nothing but harm and division,’ reads the letter. ‘These fringe internet accounts stand against affirmative medical care of transgender people, and they stand against the right to self-identification of transgender people in this country… they stand against trans, women’s and gay rights by aligning themselves with far-right tropes and stances.’

ZMan does some analysis.

An axiom from the drug game that applies equally well to the political game is “Never get high from your own supply.” Drug dealers who start using their product usually end up dead, in jail or just another client for a smarter drug dealer. In the case of politics, the product they move is propaganda and rhetoric. In office, they peddle propaganda to convince or confuse the people into going along with policy. Out of office, politicians use rhetoric to trick people into supporting them in their efforts.

The product of politics is the lie. Maybe the lie is just an exaggeration, like the old line about two cars in every garage and chicken in every pot. Sometimes the lie is a fabrication to distract from something else. The Russian collusion hoax is an example of a lie to distract from the FBI corruption. Then, of course, you have the Big Lie, the lie so colossal that no one thinks it possible to tell such a lie. The usual suspects used this against Trump, declaring him a white nationalist.

If you’re woke, you believe that:

• Saying that people should be judged by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin is racist.
• White people who perform African-American spirituals or sing the “Black National Anthem” are engaging in cultural appropriation, and are racists.
• When a black man who commits a crime is arrested by a white cop, that cop is a racist. The white prosecutor who prosecutes him is a racist. White members of the jury who vote to convict him are racists.
• The fact that the number of black nuclear physicists in America is lower than the proportion of blacks in the general population is proof that STEM teachers are racists, university administrators are racists, and companies in the nuclear tech industry are systemically racist.

And so on. Readers can supply additional examples — we all know the drill.

Appearing at a friendly CNN town hall event this week, President Joe Biden dropped a string of untruths on issues both large and small.

One of the president’s most egregious falsehoods was the claim that “we didn’t have [the vaccine] when we came into office.” The first shot was administered back on Dec. 14, 2020.

Glenn Kessler, lead fact-checker for The Washington Post, quickly jumped into action on Twitter, explaining that this was merely a “verbal stumble, a typical Biden gaffe, as he had already mentioned 50 million doses being available when he took office. Former Trump officials should especially cool the outrage meter, as it just looks silly.”

Castigating those who pointed out the lie is a weird thing for someone charged with verifying factual information to do.

Blaming Trump – Is there anything it can’t do?

Matt Taibbi.

News in the Trump years became a narrative drama, with each day advancing a tale of worsening political emergency, driven by subplots involving familiar casts of characters, in the manner of episodic television. It worked, but news directors and editors hit a stumbling block. If you cover everything like there’s no tomorrow, what happens when there is, in fact, a tomorrow?

The innovation was to use banner headlines to saturate news cycles, often to the exclusion of nearly any other news, before moving to the next controversy so quickly that mistakes, errors, or rhetorical letdowns were memory-holed.

The American Napoleon generated controversies at such a fantastic rate that stations like CNN and MSNBC (and Fox too) were able to keep ratings high by moving from mania to mania, hyping stories on the way up but not always following them down. The moment the narrative premise of any bombshell started to fray, the next story in line was bumped to the front.

News outlets paid off old editorial promises with new headlines: Ponzi journalism.

Steve Sailer.

Scott Alexander responds to the NYT’s hit piece about him:

I believe they misrepresented me as retaliation for my publicly objecting to their policy of doxxing bloggers in a way that threatens their livelihood and safety.

Beyond that, the NYT’s bigger goal is to advance the current crackdown on independent thought. Scott Alexander and Mencius Moldbug have little in common, but neither is Woke, which is, increasingly, the only worldview that The Establishment will tolerate. So, they are both therefore crimethinkers and must be dealt with, along with anybody who likes one or the other, or who likes anybody who likes one of them. Guilt by Association is very much back in fashion in 2021.

That said, I’d also imagine that NYT reporter Cade Metz is a fan of Scott’s, so he probably wrote his hit piece in part to shore up his career at the NYT. As an intelligent white man, Metz is in danger of being canceled like Donald McNeil, a 45-year veteran of the NYT newsroom who was in recent years their expert on epidemics. McNeil’s career was canceled recently for his lack of worship of woke dogmas. So Metz throwing Scott off the back of the sleigh to distract the pursuing racist wolves (such as Nikole Hannah-Jones and John Eligon) from gaining on him would be a rational career move.

Who is Scott Alexander and what is he about?

A little while ago a friend asked me to make a list of my favorite pieces of his. So, here is a beginner’s guide to the writings of Scott Alexander.

A grand anticlimax: the New York Times on Scott Alexander

Last night, it occurred to me that despite how disjointed it feels, the New York Times piece does have a central thesis: namely, that rationalism is a “gateway drug” to dangerous beliefs. And that thesis is 100% correct—insofar as once you teach people that they can think for themselves about issues of consequence, some of them might think bad things. It’s just that many of us judge the benefit worth the risk!

Here we go again with more Omission Journalism.

As the impeachment week unfolded, Maryland Democratic Congressman Jamie Raskin, the impeachment manager, has made a point of showing videos illustrating in graphic detail the attack on the Capitol.

And no one has been more emphatic in support of Trump’s impeachment for the events of January 6th than Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York. Schumer, of course, sat front and center in the Senate chamber and watched the video clips Raskin showcased.

But there’s something curious going on with the media coverage of Raskin and Schumer. Let’s dip into a few recent headlines.

After stating last week it would “not tolerate racist language regardless of intent,” the New York Times reversed course Thursday and said “intent matters” in speech and writing.

“In our zeal to make a powerful statement about our workplace culture, we hamhandedly said something that some of you saw as threatening to our journalism,” executive editor Dean Baquet said in a meeting. “Of course intent matters when we are talking about language in journalism.” NBC News’s Dylan Byers originally reported the remarks.

The mandarins of Qing China claimed the Mandate of Heaven. The French noblesse d’épée tied their privileges to a thousand years of military service to the kings of France. The nobles of Spain touted their cleanliness of blood, untainted by Jewish or Moorish ancestry.

In America, no such backwards justifications are needed. Our elites claim their supremacy on intellectual merit, the power of their brains and the breadth of their knowledge. And to everyone’s misfortune, they really believe it.

But how do you prove intellectual superiority past the age of 22, when it can no longer be measured with letter grades and test scores? Warren Buffett and Bill Gates can at least point to their enormous piles of wealth as evidence of intellectual horsepower. But what can journalists do? In the past, they might write brilliant critiques of those in power. But NBC’s Andrea Mitchell has no criticisms to offer for America’s rulers, so instead her best option is making ‘ackshually’ posts on Twitter.

We are rarely given a glimpse inside the struggle sessions at the New York Times. Last week New York Times science reporter Donald McNeil exited the newspaper as a result of an incident that occurred outside the Times two years ago. The Times made up a rule after the fact to justify McNeil’s exit. Aaron Sibarium recounts the background in the Washington Free Beacon story “New York Times Meltdown Plays Out in Private Facebook Group.”

The “resignation” of star New York Times science writer Donald McNeil Jr. has sparked a furious back-and-forth among Times staffers, many of whom are outraged over the Gray Lady’s handling of his departure.

The Washington Free Beacon reviewed a series of postings to a Facebook group for current and former Times staffers, where a tense debate is unfolding over McNeil’s exit. One camp argues that his dismissal was justified and another asserts it set a troubling precedent, which the New York Times union should have done more to prevent.

Another attempt in the ongoing proglodyte effort to convince people First World Bad Turd World Good.

Look at the ‘categories’ of stuff this web site deals with. They’re obviously ‘artists’ aimed at other ‘artists’, and (as Scott Adams never tires of pointing out), they’re idea of ‘science’ is ‘stuff that sounds good and agrees with our preconceived notions’. (As a general rule, if an ‘artist’ – someone whose job is working with words, art, music, or film – tells you something arguably scientific, don’t believe it. They work in a world of feelings, and feelings aren’t science.)

Note that I do not say that the information presented is false; I think the information is probably true. But it is presented in a tendentious way that attempts to canonize a viewpoint a being Objective Science.

Investigators are struggling to build a federal murder case regarding fallen US Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick, vexed by a lack of evidence that could prove someone caused his death as he defended the Capitol during last month’s insurrection.

Authorities have reviewed video and photographs that show Sicknick engaging with rioters amid the siege but have yet to identify a moment in which he suffered his fatal injuries, law enforcement officials familiar with the matter said.

Emphasis added. Notice the entire attitude: We have to find somebody to pin this murder on, and REALITY IS JUST NOT COOPERATING WITH THE NARRATIVE. They obviously think this is a bug, not a feature.

This is what passes for journalism these days. And nobody seems to care.

New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof recently penned a column titled “A Letter to My Conservative Friends,” with the subheading “Hold us accountable, but please do the same for the charlatans who deceive you, use you, and cheat you.”

Kristof doesn’t name any conservative friends, so we can’t be sure he has any. It’s fascinating to insist he holds the cheating, manipulative “charlatans” on the conservative side accountable; this sounds like a fine idea. But Kristof isn’t writing from a position of strength.

A Nexis database search reveals Kristof has never written anything critical in his two decades of columns about Rev. Al Sharpton, a perennial charlatan in Kristof’s newspaper’s hometown. The Times has routinely celebrated Sharpton over the years, despite his long record of deception, racial hatred, and inciting violence.

Kristof is a notorious self-righteous one-way proglodyte mouthpiece; I’m surprised he thought he could get away with this.

Suddenly, the concept of “Equity” is ubiquitous. Where did this idea come from and why has it emerged now as a central metric of the Progressives?

On Tuesday the Washington Post covered the brainy lady who points to the future of the Democratic Party showing how to go full victim: “Ocasio-Cortez reveals she’s a sexual assault survivor, recounts ‘trauma’ of Capitol riot: ‘I thought everything was over.’” Sam Dorman now follows up in the FOX News story “AOC faces backlash as critics point out she wasn’t in Capitol building during riots.”

The backlash derives from AOC’s claim that she suffered a “near-death” experience hiding in the bathroom of her office in the Cannon Building across the street from the Capitol during the riot. She further characterized the Capitol Police officer who sought to evacuate her from the office as threatening — as terrifying. We have yet to hear the other side of the story from the officer, but I’m guessing there is another side. The Post story leaves it as AOC posits it.

The Other McCain blows the whistle.

Earlier today, I took note of how the “extremist” label is being used by the media to smear all opposition to the Biden administration, as a pretext for silencing all criticism of the Biden administration. And as I noted, this accusation of “extremism” is a Kafkatrap — a sort of circular argument, whereby denying guilt is taken as proof of guilt.

Liberals argue this way habitually, and never get called out for it. They will claim that a certain policy proposal is intended to help a certain category of (allegedly) oppressed people and, if you dare criticize or oppose their policy for any reason, you will be accused of Thoughtcrime, i.e., some sort of hate toward the oppressed victim group. Anyone who objects that such accusations are unfair — “I’ve known Tom for years, there’s not a prejudiced bone in his body” — will be accused of sympathizing with the haters. You are just like a “good German,” complicit in the Nazi murder six million Jews. No protest of innocence can save you, once you are so accused.

In cancel culture, allegation is as good as proof.

A study released by the NYU Stern Center for Business and Human Rights decided that the argument that conservatives are being censored by Big Tech is “not legitimate.”

“False Accusation: The Unfounded Claim that Social Media Companies Censor Conservatives,” levied the accusation that conservative censorship is a myth. Deputy Director Paul M. Barrett and Law + Research Fellow J. Grant Sims wrote that “the claim of anti-conservative animus is itself a form of disinformation: a falsehood with no reliable evidence to support it.” The study referred to the overall bans of former President Donald Trump on Facebook and Twitter as “reasonable responses to Trump’s repeated violation of platform rules.”

…

The study relied on NewsGuard’s classification of “manipulators.” It noted, “All of the top five manipulators, in terms of their engagement levels on Facebook, were right-leaning: Fox News, The Daily Wire, Breitbart, The Blaze, and Western Journal.”

Furthermore, Barrett and Sims relied on the leftist Oxford Internet Institute’s report on “junk news.” That report had classified several conservative websites as “junk news,” including Drudge Report, NewsBusters, CNSNews.com, MRCTV, Breitbart, The Daily Caller, The Washington Free Beacon, LifeNews, National Review, the Red State, and The Federalist. These sites were smeared as “unprofessional,” “counterfeit,” “biased” and “emotionally driven.”

The study, coming from the center currently run by former Obama administration Assistant Secretary Mike Posner, had several recommendations for the new President Joe Biden administration.

I’m sure they did. I’m sure they did.

“Equity” is not equality (i.e., equal rights). It is a substitute for equal rights. “Equity” requires the authorities to determine who gets what according to the race, the ethnicity, or other status of the beneficiaries. It is updated Marxist claptrap in which race replace class.
