AMERICA’S REPORTERS AND EDITORS ARE LIARS

It is impossible to overstate how low “journalism” has fallen in the United States. Becket Adams, in the Examiner, gives us a classic example.

In her press briefing yesterday, White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany said:

The president has said, unmistakably, that he wants schools to open. And I was just in the [Oval Office] talking to him about that. And when he says “open,” he means, “open in full” – kids being able to attend each and every day at their school.

The science should not stand in the way of this. And as Dr. Scott Atlas, and I thought this was a good quote, [said], “Of course we can do it. Everyone else in the western world, our peer nations, are doing it. We are the outlier here.” The science is very clear on this that, for instance, you look at the [Journal of the American Medical Association] pediatric study of 46 pediatric hospitals in North America that said the risk of critical illness from COVID is far less for children than that of seasonal flu.

The science is on our side here. We encourage for localities and states to just simply follow the science. Open our schools.

Got that? The science supports the president’s view that we should open the schools. (Which it certainly does, by the way.) So how did the press report these remarks?

CNN’s Ana Cabrera claimed, “WH Press Secretary: ‘When he (Trump) says open, he means open – in full – kids being able to attend each and every day at their school,’ McEnany told reporters at the press briefing. ‘The science should not stand in the way of this.’”

Here, the only explanation is malice. No one is as stupid as America’s reporters and editors pretend to be.

They want their Marxian Utopia, with full salaries and pensions for all loyal journalists. No mere facts are going to stand in the way of their achieving it.

A mugger wants the money you have on your person.

A Democrat wants to destroy you.

Which one is worse?

[Menehune56]

The news is full of stories of terrified moms and female teachers. Gee I wonder why this is?

[Lou Foxwell]

The day after Biden wins the presidency every reporter, every Hollywood notable, and every democrat will be clamoring for schools to open. Until then Keep the Schools Closed, because Trump.
It is not worth giving Biden the presidency to prove democrat hypocrisy. The schools will open. Parents will break down the doors and drag teachers out of bed if necessary.
OR Private schools will suddenly multiply across the nation putting all those tenured, unionized teachers out of a job.

Someone pointed out that if Trump came out in favor of masks, masks would suddenly Become Bad.

And if he had the federal government make masks mandatory, he would become An Authoritarian Dictator.

[Sam Gamgee]

Since I started reading CNN content I have concluded all of their news is total lies. Not just the headlines.
