Can We Now Say “Citizen Journalism > MSM”?

December 22, 2024 Skip

The founders of Axios, Jim VandeHei and Mike Allen, have admitted that we, the hoi-polloi, now have more effect on the news than the mainstream media: The establishment media face tremendous pressure to remain the preeminent voice in shaping culture and politics, Axios chiefs Jim VandeHei and Mike Allen said Friday. VandeHei and Allen acknowledged citizen journalists … Read more

Media “Admits” Kamala Was a Bullet ‘Everyone’ Dodged

December 22, 2024 Steve MacDonald

If the Wall Street Journal is any indication, it is officially both acceptable and necessary to admit that Joe Biden has been mentally compromised … for his entire presidency. This is not news to us. His own relatives thought it was crazy he was running for president because of his declining mental health. You could … Read more

Twisting the Facts Doesn’t Solve the Problem

February 15, 2023 Ray Cardello

The Biden Administration is using the power of the mainstream media to hoodwink the unknowing public. Some people get their news only from MSM, just as some who only watch or listen to FOX. The MSM crowd is getting precisely what the President and staff want them to hear.

Open Letter to Utah Governor Spencer Cox and the Salt Lake City Tribune Editorial Board

March 20, 2022January 17, 2022 Kensley Vitoria

This past weekend, the Salt Lake City Tribune posted on a public internet website that “Were Utah a truly civilized place, the governor’s next move would be to find out a way to mandate the kind of mass vaccination campaign we should have launched a year ago, going so far as to deploy the National Guard to ensure that people without vaccination would not be allowed, well, anywhere.”

Data Point: Trump Predicted It Would Happen to the MSM – And Now It Has!

December 18, 2021 Skip

As long term readers know, I’ve been doing posts like this for years. I’m also not shedding a tear over the current state of “the Press” in the US as they’ve brought it upon themselves by picking sides in the Culture/Media War.

Data Point – Who Trusts the Media the Most?

My question is why does ANYONE trust the media at all?

Tucker Carlson Screen Grab - Why SO Many Beleive the election was rigged.

Rigged! – “Why So Many Trump Supporters Have Questions About The 2020 Election…

July 11, 2021July 11, 2021 Steve MacDonald

Historian and Podcaster Darrel Cooper is about to get a lot of attention from the left, and bless him for it. In a series of tweets read on air by Tucker Carlson (below), he succinctly itemizes why Trump supporters have no reason to believe anything the Establishment or their media tells them about anything, especially the 2020 Election

Terrorists in Massachusetts

July 7, 2021 Steve Earle

Eleven members of the “Rise of the Moors,” an armed Islamic fundamentalist group from Rhode Island, held off MA. State police along Rt.95 in Wakefield. They were traveling to Maine for “training” and not only illegally armed but had no driver’s licenses.

“The Real Action Was Taking Place at the State Level, Right under the Republican Party’s Noses”

July 6, 2021 Skip

“The truth is, the Democrats were caught with their pants down in 2016, immediately vowed to never let it happen again, and then set about their four-year task of battlespace preparation.”

Yeah, They Did this to the TEA Party Movement – And We Cleaned Their Clocks Then, Too

Yeah, They Did this to the TEA Party Movement. Been there, done that (reformatted, emphasis mine):

Posted in it’s entirety:

“Aside from the crushing socialism, the overweening global warmist religious fanaticism, the stench of tens of thousands of homeless insaniac drunkards and dopeheads shipped here from every other state, and the tidal wave of illegal immigrants from 20 other nations, there are a bare few advantages to living here in Calestine (which name is stolen shamelessly from yesterday’s comments).

Sure, “Unity” is a Thing for Democrats

December 7, 2020 Skip

Every time I think of Dementia Joe calling for “Unity” once the Democrat mouthpieces in the MSM called the Prez race for him, my eyebrows keep rising.

What if Trump Wins? … Prosperity Returns

October 17, 2020

America is at a crossroads. Most people recognize there is revolution at our doorstep. On one side are the Patriots. They are people seeking to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution. They are conservatives and classic liberals. This group will vote for Trump.

AP Makes it Official – We’re Covering Up for the Rioters

October 2, 2020October 2, 2020 Skip

This is a constant refrain from me – the Left is always trying to bastardize, redefine, and weaponize what used to be our common language to move their agenda forward. You name it, any word that’s now used in politics has a far different meaning to the Left than we Normals.

Unethical Leftist Mobs Wouldn’t Know Justice if it Fell on Them

July 7, 2020 Steve Earle

I think it must now be clear to even the dullest wits that the activities of the “Social Justice Warriors” has nothing whatsoever to do with or any relationship to justice, no way, no how. It’s a cliche; a scam used to excuse excessive actions, even criminal behaviors by the unethical leftist mobs who wouldn’t know justice if it fell on them.

Quick Thought: Media Hypocrisy on Prez Candidates and churches. Why is only one in “hot water”?

June 4, 2020 Skip

And no, it’s not about Holy Water, either. A picture of two candidates – why didn’t you hear a squawk out of the MSM about the second one? Oh, Narrative: First: One in a black church Second: One outside a church on the public sidewalk So, one is politicking inside the church, taking a knee … Read more

Really, Union Leader, the House GOP “revolts”???

May 27, 2020 Skip

I would say that Republicans stuck to their guns (in some cases, literally) and said in effect “Decisions have consequences.” Steve Shurtleff, the Democrat Speaker of the NH House, YOU shut the House down and we don’t have to go along with rewriting YOUR rules to make it work.”

MSM Journalists – Proving Again That They Are Nothing More than Democrats with Bylines

March 30, 2020March 30, 2020 Skip

Sure, it’s old news that US Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi came back from her San Fran vacation and blew up what was then a rare bipartisan effort to get a coronavirus stimulus bill.

We prefer “snarky”, thank you very much!

December 17, 2019 Skip

Is this really an ad for the Media groups? They built this temple to themselves, called the Newseum, an all the time ode to themselves as to how great they are and how much democracy needs them.
