    The legacy media is dying, and as we've been cheering it on for years now, it's a long time coming: CNN is planning to wield the axe on some of its high-paid staff after dismal election ratings that cap off a disastrous period for the cable news network. According to an explosive new report from Puck, network executives will unleash sweeping lay-offs in a bid to save the network's flailing reputation. ...or those who don't know, "seeking a partner" means they're looking for someone to split the losses with so it doesn't affect their bottom line as badly. They're mostly...
  • Mainstream media’s influence waning fast The American Spectator: Voters ignore anti-Trump narratives as traditional news loses its grip on public opinion.

    The 2024 presidential election results reveal the diminishing influence of legacy mainstream media, whose relentless campaign against Donald Trump - unprecedented in scale and hostility - has largely backfired. Over half of American voters have shown that they’re no longer swayed by the daily narratives from ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, and PBS. They’re no longer buying what’s published in the New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal (editorial page excepted), or other prominent outlets. Trump’s decisive victory underscores the waning power of this era’s “Yellow Journalism,” though it’s doubtful the media will change course.
  • Los Angeles Times Owner Fires Far-Left Editorial Board – Wants ‘Factual and Balanced Coverage’ of Trump Presidency

    The owner of the Los Angeles Times has fired his entire editorial board as he seeks to return the paper to its journalistic roots. Posting on the X platform, the paper’s owner, Patrick Soon-Shiong, said he was proud to have posted a letter opposing attacks on white women for voting for Donald Trump and that the paper would be undergoing some major changes moving forward: Proud that we posted this letter from one of our readers on X. When the President has won the vote of the majority of Americans then ALL voices must be heard. Opinions are just that
  • Why the Guardian is no longer posting on X (Elon helped Trump win)

    11/13/2024 4:27:16 AM PST · by janetjanet998 · 44 replies
    We wanted to let readers know that we will no longer post on any official Guardian editorial accounts on the social media site X (formerly Twitter). We think that the benefits of being on X are now outweighed by the negatives and that resources could be better used promoting our journalism elsewhere. This is something we have been considering for a while given the often disturbing content promoted or found on the platform, including far-right conspiracy theories and racism. The US presidential election campaign served only to underline what we have considered for a long time: that X is a...

    This campaign season saw the left still shrieking about the threat of disinformation from the right — even as Democrats openly and proudly embraced their commitment to telling lies and insisting they’re true. Exhibit 1 Billion: Courier Newsroom, a literal fake news outfit backed by the leading leftoid sugar daddy George Soros. It also counts prog megadonor Reid Hoffman among the benefactors of its parent, the astonishingly misnamed Good Information Inc.

    Washington Examiner ^ | November 5, 2024 | Paul Bedard
    Kamala Harris was carried to Election Day with the biggest and most favorable media bias in history .... The big three networks that dominated TV coverage ended up giving her coverage that was 78% positive to just 15% positive for President Donald Trump. That 63-point advantage is the biggest in history and about three times what 2004 Democratic nominee John Kerry had over President George W. Bush. ... This year’s coverage imbalance was slightly worse than in 2020, when TV news broke all records in providing Joe Biden a 58-point advantage. The bias was hard to miss this year. Near...

    NewsBusters ^ | 11/4/2024 | Joseph Vazquez
    For all the media brouhaha about the supposed strength of the Biden-Harris administration’s jobs market, NBC’s flagship evening news show didn’t even bother to report on the "worst" jobs report in years released just before Election Day. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported on Nov. 1 that the U.S. economy embarrassingly added only 12,000 jobs in October— well below the 113,000 jobs prediction by economists. As reported by Fox Business, this figure is “the lowest tally since December 2020.” In addition, private sector payrolls declined 28,000 against a prediction of a 90,000 gain by LSEG economists. If that wasn’t bad...

    New York Post ^ | Nov. 4, 2024 | Alexandra Steigrad
    CBS News went to great lengths to squash correspondent Catherine Herridge’s reporting about the Hunter Biden laptop just weeks before the 2020 election, the award-winning investigative journalist claimed. In her bombshell allegation, Herridge revealed she brought evidence to CBS News executive Ingrid Ciprian-Matthews and “CBS Evening News” anchor Norah O’Donnell in early October 2020 that the laptop contained material about “a million dollar retainer from a Chinese energy firm,” along with business texts and emails from the son of Democratic challenger Joe Biden. But later that month, Herridge wrote that she was shocked to see “60 Minutes” correspondent Lesley Stahl...

    Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 3 November 2024 | John Semmens
    Growing signs that Trump may win the election are unnerving media moguls. One network executive told New York Magazine writer Charlotte Klein "as a group, 85% of our coverage of Trump has been negative. In contrast, 78% of our coverage of Harris has been positive. How can this not have doomed Trump's candidacy? If half the country has decided that Trump is qualified to be president, that means we've lost this audience completely. A Trump victory means mainstream media is dead in its current form." "The partnership we've had with the Biden Administration to discredit and censor dissenters from the...

    Gateway Pundit ^ | 11-3-2024 | Cassandra MacDonald
    Former President Donald Trump has once again blasted Fox News in a post on Truth Social. Trump is angry that the network keeps airing Democrat ads and having allies of Kamala Harris on its shows. The Republican presidential nominee wrote: FoxNews keeps putting on Democrat ads, as part of their news program. Their soundbites are almost all of Harris and her Democrat friends, all of whom are on the shows. FOX NEWS IS NOT OUR FRIEND. It’s crazy! Trump posted similar complaints last week, going so far as to accuse the network of trying to sabotage his campaign. He wrote,...

    New York Post ^ | 11/1/24 | Josh Christenson
    The Donald Trump campaign filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission on Thursday, alleging that the Washington Post has made illegal in-kind contributions to Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign through its fawning coverage. According to the six-page complaint, the Washington Post made the in-kind contributions through an alleged “coordinated communications” strategy that benefits the Harris campaign, relying on a Semafor report that showed the paper was paying to boost critical Trump content and “neutral” Harris articles. “To wit, one of the promoted articles highlighted how the Harris digital team was pushing content on social media claiming people were leaving...

    Media Matters known for organizing pressure campaigns against conservative voices it opposes.. Ben Shapiro accused The New York Times of working with far-left advocacy group Media Matters for America in order to get anyone who opposed Kamala Harris silenced on YouTube, supplying screenshots of a reporter who noted he was working with the progressive organization. Media Matters, founded in 2004 by longtime Clinton ally David Brock, is often cited by legacy news organizations as a media watchdog. It has built a reputation for organizing pressure campaigns against conservative voices it opposes, including boycott movements. Shapiro took to social media to...
  • ‘Shameful’ MSNBC blasted for splicing Nazi rally clips into coverage of Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally: ‘Incitement’

    MSNBC is facing fierce backlash for using Nazi rally clips during its coverage of former President Donald Trump’s historic campaign event at Madison Square Garden on Sunday. The left-leaning network included footage from the 1939 Nazi rally at the New York City arena and compared it to Trump’s own rally, which packed the famed venue. “But that jamboree happening right now, you see it there on your screen in that place is particularly chilling because in 1939, more than 20,000 supporters of a different fascist leader, Adolf Hitler, packed the Garden for a so-called pro-America rally,” the anchor said while...

    Wausau Mayor Doug Diny had just finished a city directors meeting when he walked into his office to find three law enforcement agents rooting through his possessions. Suffice to say, the mayor was “surprised.” But Diny said he knew what this raid was all about. As The Federalist first reported a week ago, Democrat Attorney General Josh Kaul has ratcheted up his nationally watched investigation into the mayor for removing an unsecured absentee ballot drop box from outside city hall. For Diny, it all feels “very political,” an investigation and a raid the Wall Street Journal editorial board has described...
  • ‘Big lie’ 2.0: How Trump’s false claims about noncitizens voting laid the groundwork to undermine the election

    The “big lie” of the 2024 election is being workshopped on Webex. In tiny boxes, hundreds of people, most of them white, meet weekly in online video conferences to share specious evidence of a problem that doesn’t exist: a leftist plot to “get the illegals to become voters,” as Jeff Vega, a conservative Latino activist in Michigan, put it at a meeting in August. The participants, who have reportedly included a Wisconsin state lawmaker, a former Trump administration official and a U.S. congressman, bat around ideas for how to combat this supposed threat, from reviewing lists of noncitizens with driver’s...

    The Atlantic is facing intense scrutiny over a report alleging former President Trump disparaged a slain Mexican-American Army private while he was in office, with some involved with the story declaring it "false" and a "hit piece." Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, began a lengthy report published Tuesday about Trump's interaction with the family of 20-year-old Vanessa Guillén, the daughter of Mexican immigrants who was murdered in April 2020 by a fellow soldier at Fort Hood. After her remains were discovered two months later, Trump consoled Guillén's family at the White House and offered to provide financial assistance to...

    Why bother with making information accessible and usable if you can tell people what you want them to hear instead?When Google launched in the late 1990s, it quickly overtook the market for search engines. Its proprietary method of indexing led users to results they were actually looking for rather than producing the hodgepodge of results offered by other search engines of the time. Within just a few years, it was dominating the market. Today, it is a money-printing machine.It’s also increasingly horrible at the core mission that produced such success. The company’s leadership may have realized early on that to...

    A town hall event with Vice President Kamala Harris on Monday featured a shocking revelation after one voter simply wondered whether she could ask a question. Former California First Lady Maria Shriver admitted while hosting the event with former Rep. Liz Cheney in Royal Oak, Michigan that she would only include 'predetermined questions.' 'Are we going to be able to ask a question?' asked a woman in the audience. 'You're not, unfortunately we have some predetermined questions,' Shriver replied. 'And hopefully I'll be able to ask some of the questions that might be in your head, I hope so.' Typically,...

    In the last month of the presidential campaign, former President Donald Trump is doubling down on his promise to carry out the largest mass deportation effort in American history. In Reading, Pennsylvania, last week, Trump drew fervent applause from a rally crowd after saying he would "get these people out" and "deport them so rapidly." In Aurora, Colorado, on Friday, Trump told rallygoers he would "rescue Aurora and every town that has been invaded and conquered." Immigration researchers, lawyers, and economists have pointed to immense constitutional, humanitarian and economic problems posed by Trump's oft-repeated pledge. But beyond the anticipated damage...
