The stars are coming out to push the activities of a “non-partisan” anti-corruption organization which aims to save America, state-by-state, by way of voting laws, campaign finance laws, anti-lobbying measures and such. The organization is called Represent.Us. Their eventual goal is to change federal laws.
They emphasize that it’s not fair that lobbyists have more influence on politicians than ordinary people. They don’t seem to push any measures to limit the unfair influence of celebrities on (and in behalf of) politicians, though.
Funny how that works.

At the Washington Post today, fact-checker Glenn Kessler has a roundup of the biggest Pinocchios of 2019, collecting the top 13 falsehoods that he fact-checked over the past year. Though Donald Trump dominates the list, one item is dedicated to Leana Wen, the former president of Planned Parenthood.
Shortly before Planned Parenthood’s board ousted her — displeased with her desire to focus more on expanding the group’s health-care services than on pro-abortion political activism — Wen was the feature of a Kessler fact-check and received four Pinocchios for her repeated claims that thousands of women died from botched abortions prior to 1973’s Supreme Court ruling in Roe v. Wade.

he two shooters, one male and one female, were both African-American. The male shooter, 47-year-old David Anderson, reportedly posted anti-police and anti-Semitic rhetoric on his social media page and was once a follower of the Black Hebrew Israelite movement, according to the New York Times. Members of the Black Hebrew Israelite movement, per CNN, believe “blacks are the true descendants of biblical Jews.” Both Anderson and Francine Graham were killed during Tuesday’s shootout.

Continuing corporate efforts to support at-risk youth, Apple this week joined forces with talk show host Ellen DeGeneres and former first lady Michelle Obama to hand out new Macs and iPads to students and teachers at Randle Highlands Elementary School in Washington, D.C.
I’m opening a book on how long it takes for this program to disintegrate. The L.A. school district handed out free computers to ‘at-risk’ kids who immediately turned around and sold them on the street, then reported ‘Oh, gee, my computer was lost/stolen, could I please have another?’ I’ll leave you guess how many MILLIONS of dollars this cost the taxpayers.

On Wednesday, former Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh (D) was indicted on 11 counts of fraud and tax invasion concerning her Healthy Holly book series that had forced her out of office on May 2. If convicted on all counts, she could face 175 years in jail. And while ABC’s World News Tonight and NBC Nightly News didn’t believe it was worth informing the public about, the CBS Evening News covered it with a one-minute-and-44-second report, but left out the key fact that she was a Democrat.
When I saw that a mayor was under indictment I just assumed she was a Democrat.

This would be funny, if it wasn’t just so sad. Several media outlets had their credibility put to the test this week (and shocker, failed miserably) after a report from the United Nations out Monday left out a pretty significant detail. The report appeared to condemn President Trump over the “inhuman” border policy, calling the U.S. out for having the “world’s highest rate of children in detention [centers].” The media rushed to share the report as more bad news for Trump. However they were singing a very different tune when the UN report’s author later clarified that his data was from 2015, when President Obama was in office.
Unsurprisingly, a number of outlets rushed to salvage their reports upon finding this out. But instead of keeping the reports up with a correction for the dates, they scrubbed their ENTIRE stories.
Oops indeed. I guess anything that impugns The Magic Negro goes down the Memory Hole.

One of the irritating clichés of modern journalism is the “Stop [Doing X]” headline.
Dahlia Lithwick’s column today bears the inexplicable headline, “Stop Assuming Republican Senators Will Do the Right Thing.”
I don’t think that is a thing that people assume.
I do not know anybody who assumes Republican senators will do the right thing in any context—Republican senators least of all.
He’s got that right.

“The New York Times published a distorted and factually incorrect story on the front page of the Sunday, November 17 edition concerning FedEx and our billions of dollars of tax payments and billions of dollars of investments in the U.S. economy. Pertinent to this outrageous distortion of the truth is the fact that unlike FedEx, the New York Times paid zero federal income tax in 2017 on earnings of $111 million, and only $30 million in 2018 – 18% of their pretax book income. Also in 2018 the New York Times cut their capital investments nearly in half to $57 million, which equates to a rounding error when compared to the $6 billion of capital that FedEx invested in the U.S. economy during that same year.”

CNN clickbait alarmism.
There are always people on the fringe who believe odd stuff. That’s why newspapers publish Your Daily Horoscope. The DemLegHump media focus on such people, the total world supply of which could fit into a Joe Biden Town Hall meeting, because the Narrative has as a major component the notion that the country is about to be overrun by racists, white nationalists, neo-Nazis, and the KKK. (There are more homosexuals in the U.S. than there are neo-Nazis and KKK members combined. Go ahead, look it up.)
As Scott Adams points out in his new book Loserthink, which cannot be too highly recommended, the mainstream media business model is to GET CLICKS, and the way you GET CLICKS is to write a scary headline; it doesn’t matter if it goes to a bullshit article, as long as the poor suckers click through and trigger that ad view for which the platform will get paid.
