The Nature of the Virus

27th May 2020

Steve Sailer does a scan of modern journalism.

Opinion journalism in the respectable outlets has increasingly come to be dominated during the Great Awokening of the past half-dozen years by young Women of Color with soft major degrees who take whatever topic is in the news—global pandemic, Ukrainegate impeachment, a tribal elder being smirked at—and relate it to how society must learn to idolize more the beauty of women such as, to take a random example, themselves. Also, they tend to be extreme antiquarians who don’t seem to be cognizant of any history since the end of Jim Crow or even of slavery.

The Doctrine of Media Untruth

26th May 2020

Victor Davis Hanson.

As a general rule, when the New York Times, the Washington Post, National Public Radio, Public Broadcasting Service, NBC, CBS, ABC, MSNBC, and CNN begin to parrot a narrative, the truth often is found in simply believing just the opposite.

Put another way, the media’s “truth” is a good guide to what is abjectly false. Perhaps we can call the lesson of this valuable service, the media’s inadvertent ability to convey truth by disguising it with transparent bias and falsehood, the “Doctrine of Media Untruth.”

That’s been my rule for a decade.

Survey: One in Five English People Think Coronavirus Is a Jewish Conspiracy

25th May 2020

Read it.

A new survey done by a group of researchers at the University of Oxford found that one in five English people think coronavirus was constructed by Jews to topple the economy for financial benefits.

I think this is more likely handwaving by this ‘group of researchers’ in a bid to attain notoriety than any pernicious tendency in British public opinion. A look at their methodology (which few writers of headlines bother to do) reveals why.

The study surveyed 2,500 adults that were “representative of the English population according to age, gender, region and income, on their attitudes toward the government narrative on coronavirus and related conspiracy theories between May 4 and May 11,” according to the Jerusalem Post.

I don’t believe that such a small sample size is in any meaningful respect ‘representative of the English population’ any more than I believe the predictive power of climate change models. That the Jerusalem Post might have a vested interest in raising the alarm about anti-Jewish sentiment rather detracts from its persuasiveness as well.

Never Trust the “Experts”

17th May 2020

John Hinderaker at Powerline blows the whistle.

Everyone now knows that Neil Ferguson of England’s Imperial College is one of the villains of the coronavirus disaster of 2020. He produced an epidemiological model that was absurdly off the mark, predicting 500,000 deaths from the virus in the U.K., and more than 2 million in the U.S. Unfortunately, Ferguson’s model was the basis for harsh shutdowns in the U.K. and other countries, probably including the U.S. Most people also know that Ferguson is a world-class hypocrite, as he violated his own social distancing rules to engage in illicit trysts with his married lover, a left-wing political activist.

NY Times’ Hulse Pens New ‘Republicans Will Cave’ Story: ‘Resistance…Unsustainable’

16th May 2020

Read it.

Saturday’s New York Times cheered on the no-limits left-wing spending wishlist of congressional Democrats in “G.O.P.’s Slow Approach To Aid Risks Blowback” by congressional reporter Carl Hulse. It is Hulse’s favorite type of story, one he has written and rewritten constantly over the years: Democrats in Congress pressuring Republicans to cave in on one thing or another — immigration, spending, taxes, etc.

CNN’s Van Jones Plays Dumb as Corona-Racism Panel Is Canceled Due to Chinese Sponsor

14th May 2020

Read it.

As journalists have come under attack for accepting and forwarding Chinese propaganda about the coronavirus they unleashed from Wuhan, the National Association of Black Journalists was forced on Tuesday to cancel a panel discussion with CNN host Van Jones and former CNN analyst Roland Martin on the “rise of misinformation” on the virus when it became controversial due to its financial backer — Huawei, a telecom giant connected to the Chinese communist government that’s been indicted for racketerring and conspiracy to steal trade secrets.

One of the most astonishing aspects of the Pandemic Panic is the number of certifiable Crustians who are willing to shill for the Communist Chinese.

Stelter on Stilts

13th May 2020

Read it.

David Rutz has put together a hilarious Washington Free Beacon SUPERcuts video of Brian Stelter calling out conservatives for their obsession with the Russia probe (via Twitter below). The video has struck a nerve; it has garnered more than 1.5 million viewers on Twitter. It is also posted here on YouTube. There are a lot of us out here laughing at and hating on Brian Stelter and CNN. This is an instant boomerang classic.

I’m still not convinced that Stelter isn’t a Seinfeld character that wandered into a CNN studio by mistake.

Nasty Washington Post Compares Conservative Ron DeSantis to ‘Oafish’ Florida Man

12th May 2020

Read it.

The Washington Post on Tuesday unleashed a nasty broadside against Florida’s popular conservative Governor. Writer Ben Terris and Josh Dawsey compared Ron DeSantis to the “oafish” Florida Man satire of dumb people in the sunshine state. The online headline sneered, “Does Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis know what he’s doing? We’re about to find out.”

All the while supporting senile serial groper “Fingers” Joe Biden. Makes you wonder.
