While it doesn’t appear that members of the media have learned their lesson on the dangers of false reporting, we should learn ours: never stop digging for details and asking for answers.

The media is not news, it is left-wing political activism. I do not expect anyone to reason with a liberal activist nut-job, and that is what the MSM is.

I recall Rush talking in the 90’s about a journalists’ convention and some surveys done there. As I recall, a majority of attendees viewed journalism as a path for social advocacy, and a large majority identified as Democrat.

They get it fine. Duke Lacrosse, Rolling Stone story, keep pushing the narrative, and hope you can find a case of just that. When these blow up, forget about it, and keep looking for one.

We are alone in our journey to distinguish between fact and fiction, but it’s worth the taking the trek.

The Twilight Zone

Picture this if you will. Television time on any week day evening; time to huddle in front of the TV set; time to traverse the odd boundaries of the surreal and the serendipitous; Yet for most, this will be a very short trip; a sojourn into an invisible valley between rabbit ears and radio waves; a short stopping off place where fact and fiction and day and night share the same zip code. This is a page dedicated to...
The Twilight Zone.

The media gets it. They simply don’t care.

Don’t kid yourself. The media does, indeed, get it.

The LSM is the propaganda wing of the Republican Party.

its pretty clear at this point that the “major media” have devolved into “information laudromats” that defacto practice “financial laundering” as well. They obscure the agenda of their controllers and have no financial transparency of their relationship with their controllers.

To the extent this deliberately undermines Constitutional Law in the USA -this is “terroristic”

When I was in college way back in ancient times (circa 1980) J Schools were already teaching social advocacy has the only legitimate journalistic process, having supplanted who-what-where-why-how.

You are seeing the end results of four decades of that work.

This validates the reason I don't watch cable TV news or read newspapers or news magazine anymore. Because none of it is "news".

If you want to see how the democRATS get the media to promote their agenda, here is a video clip of Nancy Pelosi on C-SPAN openly explaining how they do it. She calls it the "wrap up smear".

This will not shock folks on the Right like myself, who already know the democRATS and the MSM are in cahoots pushing the same agenda and narrative.

What is shocking is that she doesn't try to hide it. She overtly admits to deceiving the public with the aid of the complicit MSM.

Listening to the intro of the video is informative but Nancy starts talking at the 1:08 mark in the clip:

Pelosi and the Wrap Up Smear

Interesting that the 7 year old Houston girl’s murder has fallen off the face of the earth since she was actually a victim of black violence....
