Editor’s note: I have regained control of the website, but there’s still some work to do. Monday memes have been preempted, but there is a version on my Substack (I wasn’t expecting to have access yet). One of the things that sets GraniteGrok apart, and no, I don’t mean getting hacked and not updated all weekend (sigh), was our … Read more
If you listen to the words of Democrats, you would think they all still dress in the garb they wore the day ‘we’ signed the Declaration of Independence. You would think they not only read and understood the Constitution, but also sat with James Madison and contributed to its writing. Their actions, however, are quite … Read more
My dad used to commandeer the television to watch 60 Minutes back in the day. I’m talking late sixties, early seventies, when the thing was just getting started. I was just a kid, but I watched it too. Hailed as hardcore investigative journalism, it demonstrated that networks could make money on news as entertainment. The … Read more
Welcome back for the final installment of this year’s NewsGuard drive-by. The annual interface between GraniteGrok.com and an establishment censor that uses a rigged, partisan scoring scheme to scare readers away from information the globalists don’t want them to see. Here are the links to part one, part two, and part 3. . NewsGuard’s final two questions … Read more
Welcome to my ongoing review of questions challenging my “journalistic integrity” (except I’m not a journalist), in which I use their challenge to challenge theirs right back. Part one addressed the first of five “concerns” the lovely people at NewsGuard (that’s not sarcasm) expressed over content published at GraniteGrok.com. The individuals I deal with are very professional; … Read more
Every January, the nice folks at NewsGuard ask whether I will be responding to any of their questions about content published on GraniteGrok.com that they have issues with. They cite a post, comment on it, present rebutting information, and ask why we didn’t include any of that in the original. My pat response for years has been … Read more
New Hampshire Public Radio hasn’t vanished yet, so it appears there is an audience willing to support it. That’s how it should be. Taxpayers ought not be required to fund right-wing “radio, either, or its internet side gig, ANY alleged slanted reporting, or goofy, misleading NHPR headlines like this one. Republicans will try again to … Read more
The habit of the dregs of the former British Empire to rely on state-run television is a practice America has been trying to shed. Defunding public broadcasting is something the UK or Canada would likely never accomplish, let alone seriously consider. And why bother? Until recently, America’s so-called privately owned and operated media was ideologically … Read more

The White House tried to hoodwink America for four years with the aid and comfort of a media landscape hell-bent on gaslighting rather than exposing the conspiracy. Who was running the country is still a mystery, but we know that the man portraying the president was a shell of a man and an absent leader. … Read more
Sixty years ago, when there were only three network stations on your black-and-white TV, the 6 PM and 11 PM news was must-see TV programing. This era was before satellite radio, UHF channels, and 24/7 cable news. ABC, NBC, and CBS owned the airwaves, and the news anchor was one of the most credible individuals … Read more
Just three months after stepping up the podium, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt has already battled with members of the corporate media and the Democrats over their negative and sometimes false narratives about President Donald Trump’s agenda. Leavitt, who made history as the youngest press secretary to serve in the role, has not let … Read more
It was only a 15-minute address—not really long enough to warrant cleaning off the resolute desk or bringing in the cameras. It probably took longer to get Kamala and Jill to sit beside each other. I can picture that scene as reminiscent of getting a sixth grader to sit next to a first grader on … Read more
One in four Americans claim they trust the media, But only one in 14 have confidence in the news they’re being fed. Our local ABC outlet is probably in decent shape (sorta), thanks to the democrat fanbase. but amongst Conservative watchers in New Hampshire, it seems to be commonly accepted that, In the 20 years … Read more
The media has blown it for the last decade. They have destroyed their credibility to the point that pay cuts or layoffs have replaced deadlines for these information hacks. They bought in on the Russian dossier and the January 6 assault on the Capital. Yet, they missed the border fiasco, the Afghanistan retreat, the cocaine … Read more
Another ‘Reporter’ has come out publicly to acknowledge that the watchdog media was too busy chewing on the bones fed to them by ‘The Feds’ to accurately report the mental state of the Commander in Chief. [CBS News legal correspondent Jan] Crawford admitted that Biden’s handlers lied about the outgoing president’s mental fitness to the … Read more
People on the Left defend the legacy media and put down FOX News as Right Wing Propaganda. These Socialist Wannabes tell us all the time that we have the facts wrong and are fed misinformation while listening to The Five, Outnumbered, Hannity, Watters, and even Levin. You can go back further into the Obama years, … Read more
Working every day to elect Kamala At no point in MSNBC’s history that I can recall was it not obvious that it existed to get Democrats elected. That goal has been painfully evident from Keith Oberman’s early days to everyone who works there today. But it’s nice to hear an MSNBC producer, Basal Hamdan, say … Read more
Big media flipped a switch, and overnight, Kamala Harris went from being someone no one wanted to talk about to the belle of the Dem party Ball. The digital world exploded with love, money, compassion, and praise for a candidate no Democrat wanted in 2020. Someone they liked less than Joe Biden in all of … Read more
