NYT’s Friedman: Biden Is ‘Really Hard to Hate,’ I Hate Writing About Trump

6th December 2020

Read it.

Oddly enough, I have no problem hating Biden, just as I have no problem liking Trump.

The key is in not focusing on what he says,  but on what he does. Regardless of what Trump says, he does good things. Regardless of what Biden says (or almost says), he does bad things.

Biden is more or less guilty of all of the things that people have been saying (falsely) about Trump.

Who couldn’t hate a guy like that?

COVID Damage Control, Not ‘Fact Checking’

4th December 2020

Read it.

USA Today has a “fact checking” team that is funded and weaponized by Facebook to limit or censor social-media posts. But amazingly, the standard employed isn’t whether something is factual or non-factual. It seems to be whether someone is a Democrat or not.

“Fact checker” Abby Patkin penned a December 1 article revolving around the claim: “Several Democratic politicians are urging social distancing and issuing stay-at-home advisories while hosting or attending gatherings themselves.” Patkin threw a penalty flag at the conservative Facebook page of “Occupy Democrats Logic,” which included a November 13 tweet about Democrat hypocrisy by former One America News host Liz Wheeler.

Commissioner Adam Silver said in a GQ interview that there is zero data for claims by President Donald Trump and Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) that Black Lives Matter ties torpedoed NBA ratings.

WashPost: The Horror of Teaching Redneck Children About the Election

30th November 2020

It’s always fun when the brave journalists of the Washington Post put on their pith helmets and venture forth to do some anthropological reporting from the hinterlands. You never know what kind of hair-raising stories they’ll file about sky god-worshippers in podunk hamlets over an hour’s drive from decent artisanal cheese.

For example, education reporter Hannah Natanson Nov. 29 article describes the horrors of teaching about the presidential election in “West Virginia’s deep-red McDowell County, where some 80 percent of the votes went to Trump in the November election.” They’re also, she is careful to point out, 90 percent white.

Where’s the Outrage?

22nd November 2020

Paul Mirengoff at PowerLine.

The Washington Post claims that the “Black community” is angry over claims of vote fraud by President Trump and his legal team. It’s true that some of the claims of fraud center on precincts that are populated almost entirely by Blacks. However, I doubt that many Blacks care about the Trump campaign’s allegations of fraud and I suspect that even fewer are outraged by them.

The Post cites five Blacks who have expressed displeasure. Four of them are activists. The other is a professor of African-American studies. It’s part of their job to be angry, just as it’s part of the job of Washington Post reporters to dig up people who are outraged by supposed racial slights by Donald Trump.

But the reporters provide no evidence that the grievances of the activists and the professor have any resonance in the Black community. It simply expects readers of the Post to assume they do.

Hey, Remember When Media Outlets Were Concerned About Vote Fraud?

21st November 2020

Read it.

I am writing this column from suburban Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, the State Capitol building a mere couple miles away across the Susquehanna River. And in that Capitol Friday there was scheduled by the Republican-controlled State Government Committee of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives a hearing as part of the committee’s investigation into the election.

The scheduled witnesses were representatives of Dominion. And lo and behold on Thursday night, the literal night before the hearing, State Representative Seth Grove, the Committee chairman, was notified that, in his words, Dominion had “lawyered up” and backed out of the hearing.

Hmmm. As this is written, this news is nowhere to be found in The Washington Post. It is nowhere to be found in The New York Times. Maybe it will at some point. Maybe.

Much less have either paper assigned a Woodward and Bernstein-style investigation of just what is going on with election fraud in this country and the role of voting system companies in this business.

Hmm. Isn’t this curious.

Why We Have the Worst “Experts,” Chapter 12,186

Fact check: Coronavirus vaccine could come this year, Trump says. Experts say he needs a ‘miracle’ to be right.

Funny how often Trump turns out to be right about something the “experts” dismissed as outlandish and irresponsible. Start with moving the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem. Yeah, the violent unrest in the Middle East in the aftermath of that provocative move still hasn’t abated. What’s that? Oh, never mind.

Mark Shields Sends GOP Senators to Hell for Refusing ‘Meet the Press’ Invite

On Friday’s PBS NewsHour, liberal pundit Mark Shields raged at Republican senators for universally rejecting a beating on NBC’s Meet the Press. Shields compared this to “Dante’s great quote that the hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in a time of moral crisis, remain neutral.”

Shields described the NBC show as an “important forum,” and avoided the obvious notion that under Chuck Todd, Republican Senators get yelled at for bringing “Fox News conspiracy propaganda” into their answers. Any Republican who showed up was going to be browbeaten into condemning the president’s failure to concede defeat.

Smug Morning Joe Gloats Over Beating Fox in Ratings… After 20 Years of Losing

20th November 2020

Read it.

In recent weeks, Fox News has been losing audience, as some viewers have become disenchanted with the network’s increasingly Trump-skeptical tone. Morning Joe has been a beneficiary of this trend, beating rival Fox & Friends in the ratings for the first time in almost 20 years.

Joe Scarborough et al. thus have an interest in encouraging Fox News to continue down the path that has benefitted Morning Joe. And thus it was that on today’s Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough and Willie Geist lavishly praised FNC personalities who have criticized the efforts of the Trump team to contest the election results. Scarborough and Geist singled out FNC’s Kristin Fisher, playing a long excerpt of her takedown of yesterday’s press conference featuring Rudy Giuliani.

It’s all because Fox has decided to join the Corporate Media, and is thus losing viewers.

The Myth of Harmonious Indigenous Conservationism

16th November 2020

Read it.

… a strongly held noble-savage belief system within progressive circles. Various formulations of this mythology have become encoded in public land acknowledgments, college courses, and even journalism. The overall theme is that Indigenous peoples traditionally lived their lives in harmony with the land and its creatures, and so their land-use demands transcend the realm of politics, and represent quasi-oracular revealed truths. As has been pointed out by others, this mythology now has a severe, and likely negative, distorting effect on public policy, one that hurts Indigenous peoples themselves. In recent years, Indigenous groups have finally gotten a fair cut of the proceeds of industrial-development and commodity-extraction revenues originating on their lands. And increasingly, they are telling white policy makers to stop listening to those activists who seek to portray them as perpetual children of the forest. It is for their benefit, as much as anyone else’s, to explore the truth about the myth of harmonious Indigenous conservationism.

CNN’s Cabrera and Leftist Professor Push Insane Conspiracy

15th November 2020

Read it.

On Saturday afternoon’s CNN Newsroom, host Ana Cabrera conspired with radical leftist Yale professor of history Timothy Snyder to spout insane conspiracy theories about President Trump. Cabrera proclaimed that she was “unsettled” by a tweet from Snyder in which he claimed that Trump “has attempted” a “coup d’état” and Snyder responded by crazily insisting that Trump is “going for it.”

Cabrera began the segment by hyping Snyder’s book, On Tyranny, in which he compared Trump to Hitler and claimed that Trump will take over the U.S. government through a Reichstag Fire type scheme. Snyder seems to be obsessed with making psychotic accusations towards Trump, as he also told Cabrera earlier this year that U.S. Democracy is in a “precarious situation” due to Trump nominating Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court.

Among the featured guests at the D.C. rally are Michelle Malkin. Amy Kremer, Mike Cernovich, Jack Posobiec and many other pro-Trump personalities.

No One Invited You, Joe: Scarborough Not Coming Back to GOP

13th November 2020

Read it.

And stop being the toast of the Upper West Side and the Hamptons? Imperil domestic tranquility with Democrat wife and co-host Mika Brzezinski? Maybe even get “canceled” by a liberal establishment baying for Republican political blood?

One of the benefits of having Donald Trump as President is that it has flushed the RINOs out of the underbrush.

Showtime Documentary Smears Reagan as Racist Precursor to Trump

13th November 2020

Read it.

he Showtime pay cable channel, owned by ViacomCBS, has become the latest media outlet to promote specious leftist attacks meant to destroy the credibility and respect for a political leader admired by conservatives.

On Sunday night at 8 PM EST (repeating at 11:30 PM and 1:30 AM EST, matching times in the West coast feed) Showtime will debut a four-part documentary series, The Reagans, devoted to smearing President Ronald Reagan as an anti-civil rights user of racist “dog whistles” who, in the words of its director, served as a tool of “plutocrats” who “in many ways paved the way for Trump.”

Remember, if you hear the dog whistle, then you’re the dog.

Fox News: What Occurred?

13th November 2020

Scott Johnson at PowerLine.

The dismal performance of FOX News on election night put an exclamation point on the descent of the network into the trough of antipathy and distrust conservatives relegate its competitors. One can infer that FOX News is disturbed by the reaction of conservative media outside the network’s circle to the network’s election night pratfalls (to put it charitably).

Consider the number of respectable conservative pundits who are tongue-tied by virtue of their contractual relationship with FOX News as contributors. Their public silence is inherent in their relationship, but is there any conservative outlet or pundit not on the payroll who hasn’t spoken up to observe the miasma at the network?

Fox fumbled the election coverage pretty thoroughly.
