Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that “we saw so many deaths from COVID because” former President Donald Trump put out misinformation. Host Kristen Welker said, “Let’s talk big picture. The campaign is only a month old. Everything she’s said in the past is starting to come into focus. When she ran in 2020, she called for banning fracking, supporting single-payer health care and eliminating private health insurance. The campaign says she no longer supports those positions. The Trump campaign is calling here a chameleon. Do you think vice president has to explain more on...

A Washington Post ‘reporter’ on Monday asked Karine Jean-Pierre what Biden is going to do to stop Trump’s live X interview with Elon Musk on Monday night. President Trump is back on X after taking some time away from the social media platform. Trump tweeted a campaign ad ahead of his highly anticipated live interview with Elon Musk on Monday evening at 8 pm ET. Washington Post reporter Cleve Wootson wants the government to intervene to shut Trump down with just a few months to go until Election Day. “One more, Elon Musk is slated to interview Trump tonight on...

Governor Kathy Hochul today met with State Commissioner of Education Betty A. Rosa and leaders from the State Education Department to discuss the ongoing development of a ‘Media Literacy’ toolkit for educators to help teach students HOW TO SPOT MIS/DIS/MAL-INFORMATION online. Following a surge in online hate speech in November 2023, Governor Hochul directed the State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services to work with experts to develop and distribute an ideologically neutral product which gives teachers resources to develop students’ ability to analyze, evaluate, and assess all forms of media, including information delivered through social media. “The rising...

Matt Orfalea, who often works with Matt Taibbi, did a deep dive on Twitter on the Biden campaign's brainwashing operation to convince Americans that Biden was mentally fit. By now it is obvious to even the meanest intelligence that Biden is gone, and once the scales have fallen from your eyes it's clear that he has been declining for about 5-7 years. He is worse now, but in 2019 and 2020 the Biden campaign had data showing that Americans had already noticed that he was no longer all there. If you look at videos from his time as Vice President,...

Governor Tim Walz: NO RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH if the governmentdecides it is misinformation or hateful This man is a dangerous commie (see video in the link) https://x.com/EndWokeness/status/1821215515605381197

Like something right out of Nazi Germany, the Michigan Bureau of Elections is demanding that citizens … “Do your part!” about election misinformation. “Just as election officials have a duty to detect election misinformation and quickly provide correct information based on the law,” the posting reads, “voters have a responsibility to proactively seek out reliable sources of information and encourage productive and honest dialogue.” Did you know that? Did you know you have that “responsibility?”

LONDON, Aug 1 (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Keir Starmer warned social media companies that they must uphold laws that prohibit the incitement of violence online after misinformation around a fatal mass stabbing earlier in the week sparked violent scenes. A 17-year-old boy appeared in an English court on Thursday charged with the murder of three young girls in a knife attack at a summer dance class in Southport that has shocked the nation and sparked two nights of violent protests. The disturbances followed the rapid spread of false information on social media that the suspect in the stabbings was...

Law enforcement officials quickly launched an investigation into the Saturday night shooting of Donald Trump as an assassination attempt, offering few details. That did not stop a torrent of unsubstantiated theories from flooding social media and other channels shortly after the event. Some accounts from the left of the political spectrum immediately claimed that the shooting was a “false flag” operation perpetrated by Trump’s own supporters. Some on the far right accused President Biden of ordering a hit on a political rival...... But far-right channels on encrypted platforms were abuzz with a mixture of shock, rage and conspiracy theories. Triumphant...

MSNBC anchor Rachel Maddow said Thursday on “All In” that she was worried President Joe Biden was not being given the real poll numbers, which showed that he was losing the race after he insisted in his press conference that he was not doing poorly. Host Chris Hayes said, “There was something that he said that I thought was striking where he talked about, and I throughout it was honest and gives a window in the psychology. He said I got to finish the job.”

This is gonna be a little awkward.After chickening out during the actual primary, the media and a lot of allied elites panicked after that debate where Joe Biden began talking about sisters raping each other, apropos of nothing, and began campaigning to remove him. Michael Moore belatedly adopted the Elder Abuse talking point. Media talking heads began to berate Jill Biden like they were on FOX News. Spontaneous editorials at publications controlled by prominent donors urged Joe Biden to step down for the greater good of the nation because he was just too old.And Joe Biden said, “No.”And it turned...

On CNN today, Carl Bernstein, of Watergate fame, reports that people close to Joe Biden —people “who loved him, have supported him, and among them are some people who would raise a lot of money for him” — say his disastrous debate performance wasn’t a “one-off.” There have been, according to these insiders, “15, 20 occasions in the last year and a half when the president has appeared somewhat as he did in that horror show that we witnessed.”Yeah, we know. All of us saw the horror show in a bunch of videos you hacks kept telling us was “misinformation”...

Gasp! Politico has uncovered a corner of the Web that as of yet remains uncensored and thus allows unapproved messages to reach people. This is simply intolerable, at least from the Politico POV as presented by their tech policy reporter Rebecca Kern on Friday in "WhatsApp Channels, used by millions, has no clear election rules." Yes, we humble prols need rules, rules, RULES to guide us on how to think and to steer us away from dangerous ThoughtCrimes in this election year.

Jack Poso 🇺🇸 @JackPosobiec BREAKING: Federal prosecutors just entered Hunter Biden's laptop as evidence in the case against him Remember when the entire media, the intel community, and his father told us all it was fake in 2020 and Twitter censored anyone talking about it?

"If I'm being honest...This type of approach was common practice in the USSR.".. On April 22, 2021, the Aspen Institute — an influential civil society group that draws funding from several federal agencies and in recent years has become an odd hodge-podge of boutique-left ideas and hardcore security-state rhetoric — announced that a “Commission on Information Disorder” would be preparing a major report, one that: Aims to identify and prioritize the most critical sources and causes of information disorder and deliver a set of short-term actions and longer-term goals to help government, the private sector, and civil society respond to...

“Misinformation” — It has been one of the most-used buzzwords of the past few years. The “misinformation” label has been applied by advocates on both sides of the political divide in the attempt to discredit their opponents. Numerous assertions that have dominated the news cycle for months or even years have ultimately proven to be completely false, that is, “misinformation.” Examples of such assertions that have been established as “misinformation” include the assertion that Trump colluded with Russia to steal the 2016 election; the assertion that the Hunter Biden laptop was a Russian plant; and the assertion that the Covid...

When Hunter Biden's laptop, with all its crazy photographs and incriminating emails, came to light before the 2020 presidential election, the media colluded to ignore the story completely, dubbing the laptop Russian disinformation. If you dared to speak of it on social media, you were lucky if your posts would just be suppressed or censored instead of having your account disabled. The laptop was, of course, completely genuine, and the mainstream media conveniently (and quietly) only admitted so after the election.Another incriminating Biden family artifact that was made public during the campaign was the Ashley Biden diary, which, like the...

New data on Gazan fatalities cited by UN agency also separates ‘identified’ deaths in hospitals from some 10,000 alleged deaths based on Hamas ‘media sources’ In a dramatic development, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has sharply revised downward the number of “identified” female and child fatalities in the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza. The data now differentiates between the total number of deaths reported by Hamas (over 34,000) and the number of “identified” fatalities (over 24,000). The new figures reported by OCHA reduce by more than half the number of women and children that it previously...

"When the Biden administration told the American people that the vacc*nated couldn't get the virus, was it MISINFORMATION or DISINFORMATION?" NO ANSWER. "When the Biden administration told the American people that the virus didn't come from a lab was that MISINFORMATION or DISINFORMATION?" NO ANSWER. "When the Biden administration said that *MASKS WORK* was that MISINFORMATION or DISINFORMATION?" NO ANSWER. These were the "EXPERTS" who silenced millions of Americans during the Cov*d pandemic. But it turns out the "EXPERTS" were the biggest peddlers of misinformation and disinformation . This was FRAUD on a massive scale and people MUST be held...

A new study from a liberal law school claims that global warming, also known as “climate change,” has a greater impact on LGBT couples than on normal couples. As reported by Fox News, the study from the UCLA School of Law claims that “same-sex couples are more likely to reside in communities with poorer infrastructure and less access to resources. They are, therefore, less prepared to respond and adapt to natural hazards and other climate disruptions.” The report, authored by analyst Lindsay Mahowald and senior fellow Ari Shaw, goes on to claim that the solution to this “problem” is for...

Scientific American has published a piece claiming that “misinformation,” such as the notion that there are only two sexes, is “being used against transgender people” and in order to target “gender-affirming medical care.”The article states that there are three types of “misinformation,” and they are “oversimplifying scientific knowledge, fabricating and misinterpreting research, and promoting false equivalences.”Three types of misinformation are being used against transgender people: oversimplifying scientific knowledge, fabricating and misinterpreting research, and promoting false equivalences. https://t.co/1AOp6Bk6A2 — Scientific American (@sciam) April 20, 2024The piece asserts that “Many of the arguments against trans rights center on the idea that transness...
