The left is having spasms of glee over the passing of Rush Limbaugh. That is reason enough to miss the man and his contribution to the debate. He was a singularly unique individual with whom I have a very small (tiny sliver of a) connection. He once mentioned my name on the air.

Media Admits HCQ Works – Doc Demands Apology: Says, “Somebody needs to get their behind sued so bad”
Imagine millions of lives saved. The political response to the pandemic, pointless. A cheap, globally tested, safe, approved, and abundant remedy for COVID19 existed, and it worked. We always had it, but now that the Media is allowing you to say that, this Doc says people need to get sued.
“There’s nothing we can do to change the trajectory of the pandemic”
The new post-Trump era is upon us. Reality as we had known it for the last four years is facing reinvention. Let’s roll through some noteworthy events. Pfizer had hinted that a vaccine could be ready in late October. Then, mysteriously, it wasn’t… Then, stranger still, it appeared.
If You Value Free Speech Stop Allowing Serial Liars to Police the Truth
If the modern war on free speech had a name, we would call it disinformation. Becasue the people predisposed to such tactics also argue that they have an obligation to protect you from liars without acknowledging their own “historically rocky relationship with truth.”
Data Point – And the MSM has done it to themselves
“we don’t have a misinformation problem, we have a trust problem.” (H/T: Axios)
C’Mon Man, A US President Bans Travel From South Africa and It’s Not Racist?
A sitting US President has just diminished the US in the eyes of the world by expanding his travel ban. A new ‘Africa’ ban “is designed to make it harder for black and brown people to immigrate to the United States.” It’s a disgrace.
The 2021 Biden “Softball” Team Has Taken the Field (By Which I mean The Media).
The media is what they are, and if four years of Trump were not proof enough, their shift to an adoring Biden fanbase should seal the deal (He’s so dreamy!). Put another way, slow-pitch softball is back, and the season is four years long.
Why Isn’t The Media Interested in Katelyn and Linda Jones?
I took a trip to Concord, a small ghost town we call our state capital, to help a friend with a court case. While I was there, I took the opportunity to stop by the US federal building on Pleasant St. That is the huge marble building dedicated to an old republican RINO.
ALL the Media Were Swooning Over DC But What About Saturday in San Diego?
Oh, move along – nothing to see here. Just another Antifa / BLM riot where they tried to beat the crap out of the fash Trump supporters that had tried to hold a rally. Sidenote: fash is slang for facists – a word that used to be used with some precision but all it means … Read more
Blogline of the Day: “Haven’t Turned on the TV Yet This Morning. Has Fox News Called the Georgia Runoffs Yet?”
Wonder if anyone at their network has seen that BlogLine of the Day? Once one’s reputation goes (especially for an entity like Fox which the Right used to see as “it’s own” because it didn’t diss us all the time like the Progressive Nets have).
Neville Chamberlain, Media Bias, and Candles
Former Congressman Lamar S. Smith echoed the sentiments of many when he stated that “The greatest threat to America is liberal media bias.”
Happy New Year … 2020 In the Rearview
How irresponsible did the media become in 2020? We all know major newspapers are winning Pulitzer Prizes for blatantly false reporting. They have done false reporting on the topic of “Russian collusion.” We know Silicon Valley is appointing themselves censors.
Data Point – Well, When You Sell a Lousy Product That No One Trusts….
I know some sensitive readers will say it is wrong to celebrate people losing their livelihoods, but I think, like a restaurant that makes its customers sick with bad food, the media deserves this.
The Melding of News and Entertainment … This May Not be Helpful
Former news co-anchor Robert MacNeil describes the features of successful news programs this way. Keep everything brief. Do not strain the attention of anyone. Instead, you must provide constant stimulation. To that end networks use variety, novelty, action, and movement.
What Was Hunter Biden Doing in China?
What Was Hunter Biden Doing in China? Heck, I don’t know the answer to the question. Given he is under investigation for his actions perhaps we will know someday. Hunter is Joe Biden’s son. Joe took Hunter to China on the plane with him.
“All entities that are not explicitly right-wing will become left-wing over time”
I used to do a lot of hiking, and my hiking buddy liked to pick up the occasional stone and toss it back up the mountain. He was only half-serious when he implied that he was counteracting the natural forces of regression or decline. Entropy, even. Someone should have done that with Fox News or, better yet, Republicans.
Does the Left Gain Something by Switching Its Biden Departure Narrative from Health to Hunter?
Long before the media proclaimed Joe Biden the President-Elect, we watched with a mix of amusement and concern at the obvious cognitive decline. This donkey was just a mule for the next Democrat president. He’d be leaving the office for health reasons. Well, maybe not.
Data Point – Americans Believe the Media is Biased (D’oh!)
From Rassmussen Polls – Gallup: 83% of Americans think the Media is biased.
COVID19 Laws for Thee But Not for Me
We are in a crisis of the elite which has been simmering for quite a while. The pandemic has brought it more clearly into the open. The result is that people today are less likely to take politicians, the media, and “experts” seriously, for cause.
