DRIVE-BY MEDIA: The New York Times hired a new infographic team to criticize everything. The latest example is the new White House ballroom. I like John’s satirical critique of a US carrier. 🤣

ransomnote: The ballroom image is attributed to the New York Times so I won't post the full image here. But the aircraft carrier has no attribution.

The New York Times is like AOC: They transcend parody.

The original NT Times article complains about the short review process. It includes a graph showing the duration of various designs and reviews including the 74 month review of the Desert Shield/Desert Storm memorial. When the memorial review process takes 50 times as long as the actual fighting in the war, you have a bureaucracy problem.

No, it wasn’t Mark Levin…

MSM isn’t for information it’s designed for misinformation.

Mark Twain, who was a newspaperman for many years before becoming a best-selling author, once said:

"If you don't read the newspapers, you are uninformed.
If you do read the newspapers, you are misinformed."

How about that California high-speed rail project? All that money must have gone through a giant clothes-dryer inter-dimensional portal to The Land of Missing Socks.

The so called 'press' is clueless - they cover stories from news packets designed by democrat war rooms and miss stories that could destroy the country

The SPLC was behind Hillary's freak out about The Vast Right Wing Conspiracy. The SPLC created the lie that Hillary 'spilled the beans about ' - and unintentionally set back that horror by years.

Hillary was trying to warn the country not knowing the power of the lie about cops being murdered by conservative white 'middle class - middle aged domestic 'terrorists' (to move up the rightwing priesthood - which is how members of law enforcement were pulled in) needed the secrecy so it wouldn't be debunked.

When Hillary breathlessly spoke about the VRWC conservatives made jokes about decoder rings etc, And defused the true conspiracy - without understanding how lucky they were DrJohn of Flopping Aces 'gets' the smallest tip of the iceberg on this story. And Jim Jordan Republican Ohio needs to ask questions. Maybe a rumor... maybe not.

My favorite story from The Onion:

Congress Threatens To Leave D.C. Unless New Capitol Is Built

Demonstrating its commitment to “stay in Washington if at all possible,” Congress has invited more than a dozen architectural firms to submit proposals for a new D.C. capitol. Among the early favorites is the ambitiously titled “Halls Of Power,” a retro-futuristic design by the Kansas City architectural firm of Hellmuth, Obata, and Kassabaum. The Halls Of Power would feature a retractable rotunda for daytime sessions, a Dancing Waters fountain in the front courtyard, and 55 more luxury boxes than the current building.
