Apparently, Bachelet’s task is to write these conclusions up.

Not Biased Enough! NARAL Issues Laughable ‘Study’ of Abortion Media Coverage

19th June 2020

Read it.

In our experience, the “objective” media tilt dramatically in favor or abortion advocates. But amazingly, it’s not biased enough for them. NARAL Pro-Choice America released a “media analysis,” a “deep dive” this week on the way journalists cover abortion. They hired the Global Strategy Group, a Democratic polling and PR firm, to do the study.

How flawed is it? Start with how they read the media: “A random sample of more than 300 abortion-related articles were elected for study across ten major news outlets…from January through June of 2019.” It would be much more accurate to pick just one media outlet and read every article. But listen to some of their actual complaints/findings, which are really complaining that the pro-life side gets too much attention:

MSNBC’s CHOP Chronicler Keeps Gushing About ‘Peace’… After They Chewed Him Out

17th June 2020

Read it.

As demonstrations continue to occupy part of the Capitol Hill district of downtown Seattle, MSNBC’s Vaughn Hillyard and Stephanie Ruhle defended the occupiers from accusations of anarchy and mayhem on Monday by citing their “very peaceful” nature and their dedication to community.

Hillyard hyped the, “very peaceful week here on these streets” and credited that peace to the city’s decision to abandon the East Precinct. Despite the fact the group calling itself the Capitol Hill Occupied Protest once called itself the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, Hillyard insisted, “this is not some hostile takeover.”

The former Soviet Union was very peaceful, as is today’s North Korea.

Class Struggle In the News Room

This piece in the New York Times is worth reading for sheer entertainment value. By Ben Smith, formerly of Buzzfeed, it is headlined “Newsrooms Are in Revolt. The Bosses Are in Their Country Houses.” With this sub-head: “Those who can afford it left the city, shining a spotlight on class divisions in the media.”

The “class division” is between those who can afford to decamp for the luxury of the Hamptons or the Hudson Valley, and those who have to stay in the city and be exposed to COVID-19. And also, I suppose, work. This is how the upper-media-class lives….

Popular Mechanics Is Now #Woke #Resitance Media, Too: Details How to Safely (Illegally) Tear Down a Statue You Don’t Like

17th June 2020

Read it.

This country is now dead and we must make a new one.

Meanwhile, Thotiana Lowe, a left-leaning writer at the supposedly formerly right-leaning Washington Examiner (owned by the same liberal corporatist who used to fund the Weekly Standard), writes that Columbus was racist and evil so, you know, might as well pull down his statues, too.

The problem faced by Popular Mechanics (and Popular Science and Scientific American and even the venerable National Geographic) is that their business model crashed and burned once the Internet got good. Nobody wants to pay for publications when information just as good is available for free. So they depend on advertising, which means they depend on ‘clicks’, which means they write everything in the standard click-bait formula that you see everywhere today. Which means they get ‘woke’ because the only people who are willing to work for such an organization are progressivism-steeped arrested adolescents who see nothing wrong with importing their totalitarian political agenda into every nook and cranny of life.

Bill Maher Compares Lindsey Graham to ‘Slave Abused By Fat Daddy’

15th June 2020

Read it.

Bill Maher closed Friday’s edition of Real Time with a hyperbolic rant directed at Republicans on Capitol Hill. In addition to slamming the congressional GOP for always sticking by President Trump no matter what, Maher compared Republican Senator Lindsey Graham to a “slave abused by fat daddy” and warned that “democracy is about to stop breathing.”

I get the impression that Bill Maher is one of those fashionable people who at one time was considered ‘edgy and entertaining’ but has coasted to a crawl where he is just on the fringe. People watch him out of inertia and he gets paid out of inertia, in the same way that certain ‘classic’ black and white films get replayed on late night TV because they are ‘classics’ rather than because they are really worth watching.

Reid explained, “It was Lyndon Johnson completing the work that Kennedy began. That act would have been a 1963 act had it been able to go through. But the resistance of white segregationists, at the time white Democrats in the south, people who ultimately moved into the Republican Party in outrage over the betrayal by Lyndon Johnson, who betrayed his region and his race by pushing through the martyred Kennedy’s bill after the martyrdom of so many black men and women.”

The New York Times’ New Standard for Acceptable Op-Eds

5th June 2020

Read it.

After initially defending publication, the Times now claims the op-ed “did not meet our standards.” The op-ed was the result of a “rushed editorial process,” the paper adds.

But James Dao, the Times’ deputy editorial page editor, says that several editors saw the op-ed before it was published — “including one on the masthead: me.” Dao also says the op-ed was fact-checked. Thus, claims about a “rushed editorial process” and failure to “meet standards” are rubbish.

Dao gets to the heart of the matter when he states he is “sorry” that the op-ed had “this kind of impact on my colleagues.” This, then, is the Times’ new standard for op-eds: They must not offend lefty staff members.

My, what a surprise. Aren’t you surprised? I’m sure surprised.

Paul Krugman Caught in Hilarious Self-Own After Furiously Spinning Conspiracy Theories About Good Jobs Report

Democrats and media outlets like the Washington Post were among the hardest hit by the news, with the WaPo having to rewrite their pre-canned headline once the news broke.

CNN Gave Over 90 Minutes in One Day to Now-Retracted Hydroxychloroquine Study

4th June 2020

Read it.

When Jeffrey Zucker’s CNN settles on a narrative, they flood the zone with employees singing from the same sheet music; seeing as how they have a President to hate.

Such was the case on May 22 when CNN shows spent 90 minutes and 54 seconds heralding a now-debunked study that originally claimed taking hydroxychloroquine while battling COVID-19 could be fatal. Over on MSNBC, the total clocked out at a smaller but still sizable total of 19 minutes and 19 seconds.

For this count, the MRC looked at every hour of live programming from CNN and MSNBC May 22, and, in the case of CNN shows and MSNBC primetime, backed up by Nexis transcripts. Since the study went live just before 9:00 a.m. Eastern, each of the 10 subsequent CNN shows covered the study. On MSNBC, nine shows featured it.

How about coverage of the retraction? As of this study’s publication, MSNBC has ignored it while CNN has only given it one minute and 45 seconds during The Lead with Jake Tapper. So much for Jim Acosta’s claim last week that journalists correct their mistakes.

Liberal Media Suddenly Love Republican-Loathing George Will

4th June 2020

Read it.

George Will is just another pseudo-conservative pundit at The Washington Post. He’s Jennifer Rubin with shorter hair. His latest column seals this image, explicitly calling for a rout of congressional Republicans, much to the delight of the liberal media.

Joe Biden isn’t the only senile duffer in Washington.

U.S. Navy veteran Michael White stepped out of a Swiss government plane in Zurich, Switzerland, and back into American freedom, Thursday, after spending two years in an Iranian prison on charges of allegedly insulting the supreme leader. In an interview with Fox News, White thanked President Trump for his release and for making America great again. But neither his release nor his thanks were covered by ABC’s World News Tonight and the CBS Evening News.

How Crazy Are the Democrats? This Crazy.

4th June 2020

Read it.

There is a movement going on now, believe it or not, to abolish the police. That phrase is ubiquitous in social media and is being taken seriously by many Democratic politicians. What would the world look like without law enforcement? I suppose the Wild West before sheriffs got hired, only way more crowded, with vastly more criminals and a more depraved culture. And of course the same people who want to abolish the local police department don’t want you to be able to defend yourself, either.

The benefit of ‘no police’ is that there won’t be anyone to arrest me when I shoot a looter. So it’s not all bad.
