Stories of the week: Tonga drag show, Walz loves ttater tots, and the Arlington Cemetary hoax.
Press-gang is a term used to describe the use of troops working to round up and press free men into military service. Looking at the work of Dana Bash at CNN and the entire Washington Post staff, I think we need another definition: People posing as journalists working to bend our minds to untruths designed to fluff up the Democrats. From the absurd Dana Bash “interview” of Kamala Harris, her first since being nominated to the highest office without ever having received a single vote, to the slavish coverage in the Post, it’s clear they cannot defend the Democrats’ unpopular policies. Instead, they work to hide them, and treat the entire presidential campaign as if it were the selling of new and “improved” laundry soap. (Maybe they’re just auditioning for the ad agency jobs they hope to get when readers and viewers permanently tune them out and their jobs are abolished.)
It’s not a particularly new development. Years ago, a friend was an editor at Time when it was substantially more prestigious and influential than it is today. He told me senior editors bet they could make anyone they chose elected president. They chose Jimmy Carter, a Georgia peanut farmer, made him the second coming in their pages and it worked. Today, I doubt that any single publication or television news staff has that degree of power, but working in tandem they still try.
Washington Post
(1) Tonga Drag Show
There must be no news of interest to readers this week, because a fourth of the front page and two full pages in the first section were about a drag show in Tonga.

I shake my head at the things the left is interested in.
The Communist News Network is irrelevant to normal people much like Harris is. The country is not divided 50/50 it’s more like 70/30 if not more conservative. The polls and the news are pure BS and anyone believing it are the 30% which are the idiots of this country. Polls just give the left numbers which they need to cheat by.
Clarice, I gave that a name several years ago which I believe is a member of the FReeper lexicon.
The name is “Mediacrat.”
Clarice appears to be slicing and dicing, showing off her own culinary skills.

PRESSTITUTES
Someone who writes for a living can’t spell ‘cemetery.’ Has spellcheck resigned as editor?
Was going to post the some thought.
I always remember it because it has the same vowel through-out (if you don’t count the Y on the end).
I struggle with spelling some words. That is NOT one of them.
THE MEDIA IS OUR ENEMY.
DONT BELIEVE ANYTHING YOU GET FROM THE LEFT WING FAKE MEDIA.
And the management at the WaPo keeps wondering why our subscription rates are cratering?!
