Sunday News Roundup: The Media’s Odd QAnon Obsession and Chris Wray Gets Another Letter

DB Daily Update ^ | David Blackmon

[EyesOfTX]

I’m old enough to remember when Saturday Night Live and Jim Carrey were both funny. It doesn’t seem like that long ago. Oh, well.

CNN continues the media’s weird obsession with QAnon. – This has been the strangest part of the entire year in 2020, and that’s saying a ton. The media’s obsession with QAnon, a web-based loose association of people who believe in a bunch of stuff that no one can really describe and that only a tiny fraction of 1% of Americans have even heard of, is truly stunning and frankly inexplicable by any real journalistic practice.

Literally every major mainstream media outlet has done multiple major expose’s on this topic, attempting to portray the completely peaceful group as some sort of existential threat to America. As I noted on Thursday, Savannah Guthrie is so consumed by QAnon that she actually led off President Trump’s townhall on NBC Wednesday night with a demand that he condemn the group. 99% of viewers no doubt looked at their spouses and said, “what in the hell is a QAnon?” when Guthrie went into her vicious diatribe on the subject.

The only way to rationalize all of this attention on such a “nobody in the country gives a damn” subject is that it must be an enormous topic of discussion at all the right DC Swamp and Upper East Side dinner parties. Because virtually no one outside of the Washington DC/New York City media/Democrat propaganda bubble knows anything about it.

Think about it: Has the clerk at your local grocery store or barista at your favorite coffee shop ever struck up a conversation with you by asking, “So, what do you think about that whole QAnon deal, huh?” Yeah, that’s not happening. Not at all. Not anywhere.

Anyway, CNN has yet another long, tedious story about the group today, and maybe you should go read it if you have any interest in it. I really don’t, but it is just extraordinary how this media obsession with such a non-issue continues. I made it down to the sub-header that reads “QAnon only hurts people; it has helped nobody,” and realized I just couldn’t stomach the rest.

Bottom line here: CNN and the rest of the news media must be terribly worried about the pro-Trump, anti-pedophilia message coming from QAnon; otherwise, it is impossible to explain the level of uniformly negative attention they have given to this obscure group throughout 2020.

Director Wray! Paging Director Christopher Wray! – Senator Ron Johnson, Chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, lobbed a new letter into the Hoover Building, which serves as the headquarters for America’s dumpster fire FBI. The letter, co-signed by Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley, demands that Wray stop withholding key materials from the committee that are in his possession.

Coming as it does barely two weeks prior to Election Day, when Wray is praying Joe Biden will win and thus emancipate him from having to follow the law in any way, shape or form, I’m guessing the new missive from these two senators was immediately filed away in Wray’s enormous dumpster for the next round of burning.

And now we know why Facebook’s “policy” is very simple: Protect Joe Biden. – From our “you could never make this stuff up, folks” file comes the news that Joe Biden’s former “special policy advisor” for the Ukraine, a woman named Anna Makanju, is now a senior executive at Facebook who leads the social media monopoly’s efforts to “ensure election integrity on the platform.”

Oh.

See? I told you. You just could never make this stuff up.

Does this seem weird to you? Because it seems weird to me. – Thousands of women gathered in Washington DC on Saturday for another depraved “Women’s March.” The reason for their event? Why, to protest the elevation of a … wait for it … WOMAN, Amy Coney Barrett, to the Supreme Court.

Again, you could never make this stuff up.

By the way, here’s a photo of the event:

Hundreds protest nomination of Amy Coney Barrett in Washington DC

Oddly, no one in the corrupt news media who invariably complain about the lack of “social distancing” at Trump rallies uttered a peep in protest of this event. Nor did our little societal menace, Anthony Fauci, have any negative words to say about it, although he will tell you you can’t have your kids go trick or treating or have your family over for Thanksgiving this year.

But hey, Fauci’s just another Democrat, and thus a lying hypocrite, something we’ve known all along.

Speaking of lying hypocrites, how about the folks at the World Health Organization? – The chart below shows the WHO’s alleged count of seasonal flu cases from the first of April through the end of September during both 2019 and 2020:

Do you see anything that strikes you as just a bit odd about that 2020 chart, as compared to 2019, which was a pretty normal year for influenza? I mean, if you aren’t Anthony Fauci trying to be a menace to American society, that is.

Doesn’t it strike you as odd that the WHO is claiming that the entire world has seen virtually ZERO cases of seasonal flu since last April? I mean, the bars are barely visible there.

Do you really believe that this year, the seasonal flu has gone pretty much completely dormant? Or do you suppose that it is far more likely that that all of the seasonal flu cases are suddenly being classified as “COVID-19” for political reasons?

This really isn’t hard, folks. You are being brainwashed to continue to accept Fauci’s edicts into perpetuity. If you think this is all going just go away once we have a vaccine available, you haven’t been paying attention to what has been happening thus far related to this virus and the media/Democrat propaganda surrounding it.

Pay attention. Let your kids go trick or treating, for gosh sakes. Have your family over for Thanksgiving. Give Fauci the finger and live your lives like Americans.

That is all.

Wray has gotta go. One way or the other.

[DeplorablePaul]

QAnon is being marginalized as crazy like birthers, like me, were. It means QAnon seriously threatens the hive.

[VRW Conspirator]

CNN continues the media’s weird obsession with QAnon.

"Pilot, this is the navigator, you are over the target"

If they are attacking QAnon, it is because the driveby's see QAnon as a threat.

[adorno]

Let’s face it, if you are a member of any organization, big or small, that does not support the far-left ideology, and you happen to support Trump and/or the conservative agenda, then, you are a far-right-wing member of a hate group that must also be racist.

[Savage Beast]

"Savannah Guthrie is so consumed by QAnon that she actually led off President Trump’s townhall on NBC Wednesday night with a demand that he condemn the group."

Didn't President Trump say something to the effect that he didn't know anything about it?

And didn't Savannah insist that he did?

I don't know anything about it either, other than having heard something somewhere--here on FR, I think.

[HighSierra5]

Yeah. Come and get me motherf.

I never thought of Jim Carrey as particularly funny, even going back to the early 90s. He always struck me as someone parading his insecurities and mental illness. At least he was able to profit from them.

[servantboy777]

Obozo and cabal weaponized every agency of the ferrule gubbamint against American citizens. Hillary Clinton violated multiple times the espionage act and the DOJ/FBI covered it up. The democrats colluded with foreign governments...all covered up. Deep state and leftist carried out up until today a coup on a sitting president not to mention subverting an American election...all, covered up.

Pretty serious stuff. If Biden/Harris are elected, all of this will be buried and our freedoms, liberties are a farce.

Think about it for a moment...a country that routinely sics the IRS after citizens for not believing the way they do. The propaganda media in concert with government destroying a citizens reputation by posting/publishing a few false stories.

Imagine getting a visit from the FBI informing you to keep your mouth shut on a particular subject or if you have a story to tell that would expose corruption.

This truly wreaks of the old communist Soviet Union or East Germany. No matter which side of the aisle you land...this should rock you to the core. If it can happen to the right, it can also happen to the right in a system of government out of control.

Maybe not today, next week or month, but if we continue on the path this nation is taking, an all out civil war would be the only answer.

I don't say that to bloviate or act as some sort of prophet of doom...ten years ago, the deep state was only tin foil hat talk. Now we know. Now we know.

[bagster]

I really don’t, but it is just extraordinary how this media obsession with such a non-issue continues.

The answer to Blackmon's question about 'why the weird obsession' is precisely because its NOT a 'non-issue', and the deep state knows it, hence the non-stop attacks and panic.

a web-based loose association of people who believe in a bunch of stuff that no one can really describe...

Mr. Blackmon, just because you can't describe it doesn't mean no one can. I assure you, I can. And millions of others across the world can too.

and that only a tiny fraction of 1% of Americans have even heard of...

I'm not sure where Blackmon gets his figures, but he couldn't be more wrong. The movement is large and growing every day. We appreciate the media's bringing more attention to it, by the way. ThankQ Savannah Guthrie.

[ml/nj]

Funny! I've never really understood Qanon, but thanks to the MSM tying them to exposing Pedogate, now I think I might.

Thanks, MSM!

"Mr. Blackmon, just because you can't describe it doesn't mean no one can. I assure you, I can. And millions of others across the world can too."

Please do.

Don’t forget Hitlery signing on to a multinational lawsuit against Arizona regarding their proposition against ILLEGAL aliens. That’s a violation of the 11th amendment. And an impeachable offense. Look it up.

[humblegunner]

It may be the case that the reason the Qtards point at
everyone and holler “PEDOPHILE!” is to deflect attention
from the fact that they all secretly have hidden tunnels
full of little Haitian kids.

[HighSierra5]

Remember Pedoesta at Hitlery’s “victory party” saying “don’t worry folks we’ll right this wrong” in so many words it was a cryptic statement on their plans to take Trump down. So far God has prevented that and let’s pray that His protection will prevail in this election.Amen

[Seeing More Clearly Now]

The propaganda campaign against Q-Anon goes beyond the coastal Leftist pockets. A Midwest-raised 70-something relative by marriage, who is retired in Arizona, and who is a lemming leftist, whom I’ve met a few times and with whom there was an agreement not to talk politics, emailed me out of the blue to send me an article claiming Q-Anon is “a Nazi cult.” The digital age knows no geographic boundaries or imitations when it comes to publication access or dissemination or propaganda campaigns. Digitally promoted lies go viral.

[philman_36]

You're just wrong in so many ways for doing that!

[philman_36]

BTW, humble, you're part of the reason I don't go to the shoots any more.

[Flick Lives]

Pumping up Q-Anon is the media’s attempt to deflect from reporting about Hunter “Bag Man” Biden’s emails.
