The word “racism,” or a variation of the word, was used every single day in April by hosts and guests on MSNBC. “Racism,” “Racist,” “Structural Racism,” “Overt Racism,” “Open Racism,” and even “Environmental Racism” were constantly repeated on the network with zero pushback whatsoever. Hosts and guests would also combine “racism” with other ‘woke’ phrases such as “sexism,” “homophobia,” “xenophobia,” and “antisemitism.” The use of these highly charged words was generally directed toward Republican politicians and conservative voters but also toward the United States and its institutions as a whole. MSNBC figures that repeatedly invoked “racism” include Joy Reid, Ari...

The Biden administration has a new Misinformation and Disinformation Governance Board, but you didn’t hear that from any left-leaning media outlets. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas made the reveal in a reply to a question while speaking to Congress April 27. News outlets considered to be more trustworthy by conservative readers jumped on it – but even now, a few days later, some of the biggest names in news haven’t mentioned it at all. Wonder why?As Liberty Nation’s Mark Angelides pointed out April 28, the head of this new “Ministry of Truth” seems to believe that disinformation is simply whatever...

Almost instantly upon resigning from CBS News, Smith’s Twitter feed was full of dedicated pro-abortion narratives about fetal heartbeat bills. While at CBS News, she framed Texas’s abortion law as the “so-called heartbeat” bill. Smith had already adopted the language and euphemisms of the pro-abortion Left while posing as a neutral reporter simply sitting down for interviews. As National Review also notes, “When Alexis McGill-Johnson became acting president of Planned Parenthood last summer, her first public interview went to — who else? — Kate Smith, who opened their conversation with a broad smile and a hearty, ‘Congratulations on the new...

As Elon Musk attempts to purchase Twitter, many journalists and political commentators have viewed the Tesla CEO's plans to take over the social media giant as detrimental, and have slammed the idea of billionaire ownership, yet several liberal media organizations are themselves owned by billionaires. The Washington Post Amazon founder and billionaire Jeff Bezos purchased the Washington Post in 2016 for $250 million. The Atlantic Laurene Powell Jobs, the widow of Steve Jobs, became the majority owner of The Atlantic in 2017. TIME Marc Beinoff, the billionaire CEO of Salesforce, and his wife Lynne, purchased TIME in 2018 for $190...

QUESTION: After 12 years of reporting, with 958K followers, if @elonmusk buys Twitter, will @Breaking911 finally be verified and no longer called a Russian bot?— Breaking911 (@Breaking911) April 25, 2022

Earlier this month, the story broke about Black Lives Matter spending $6 million on a 6,500 square-foot house in Los Angeles, complete with six bedrooms and bathrooms, a pool, several fireplaces, a soundstage, and a bungalow. Not a good look for an organization theoretically dedicated to fighting racism and protecting the poorest and most vulnerable among black Americans. On her MSNBC show Saturday morning, Tiffany Cross tried to defend BLM, pushing back against the story. Predictably, Cross, and a guest she recruited, blamed the story on . . . "the right."Just one problem. The story appeared in the liberal New...

Freddie Prinze made “It’s not my job” the catchphrase of his stand-up act and television series Chico and The Man. What, you may ask, is the job of the mainstream media, and how does Elon Musk threaten it? You may have missed the explanation provided by the deep thinkers holding down the fort on MSNBC’s morning show. “She said the quiet part out loud,” as Michael Doran put it.What more is to be said? This says it all. What oft was thought, but ne’er so well expressed, though not quite in the way that Alexander Pope meant.heidi @HeidiBriones “[Elon] could...

“The videos he posted frequently devolved into outbursts of homophobia, misogyny and offensive comments about Black people, Hispanic people and white people,” the New York Times writes about Frank James, the suspect in the subway terrorist attack. “Mr. James, who is Black, directed much of his hatred toward Black people, whom he often blamed for the way they were treated in the United States.” CNN echoes the claim. James “repeatedly espoused hatred toward African Americans.”

It has been apparent for quite some time now that the legacy news media is clearly no longer in the business of providing accurate information to the public. Instead, the supposed ‘arbiters of truth’ have thrown journalistic ethics to the wayside in favor of pushing the approved narrative and dutifully serving the elitist agenda. In other words, long gone are the days of honest reporting based on the principles of the First Amendment. The once-trusted fourth estate, which serves as the final check between the elite power structure and the people, has completely sold out on its responsibilities and is...

Frank James, the man arrested for Tuesday’s New York City subway shooting, is a black nationalist and outspoken racist who railed against whites, Jews, and Hispanics. A careful reader of the New York Times could be forgiven for overlooking that. In a nearly 2,000-word article on the attack, James’s race is not mentioned. The same is true for the coverage offered up by Reuters; the Washington Post only mentioned James’s race in relation to his condemnation of training programs for “low-income Black youths.” Media critics on the right say that the conspicuous omission of James’s race from these news reports...

Nearly four years ago, the Knesset enacted the "Terrorist Salary Offset Law" to try and stop the PA's payments to security prisoners - despite the pressure - the payments did not stop - "The aid goes up in direct proportion to the number of Jews you killed," Alon Eviatar, an expert on the Palestinian arena, explained to N12. "The only element that determines how much everyone gets is your years in prison." Payments by the Palestinian Authority to terrorists who carried out terrorist attacks and are being held in Israeli prisons This is one of the main points of...

This week, the University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics (IOP) and The Atlantic magazine hosted a “Disinformation and the Erosion of Democracy” conference, and we have to hand it to IOP Director David Axlerod for bringing in true experts on the subject. The conference featured some of America’s greatest purveyors of disinformation, such as Barack Obama, Brian Stelter, Anne Applebaum, and a few token conservatives, including Jonah Goldberg and Adam Kinzinger. The media, government, and academia elites speaking at the conference weren’t expecting to be challenged as they self-righteously spewed more lies—but our team at the Chicago Thinker was prepared...

VIDEOThe Atlantic Magazine conference at the University of Chicago on the subject of "Disinformation" was hilariously undermined by college students asking the right questions. The premise of the conference was to give "legacy" media more power to suppress what it considers to be "disinformation" which, in reality, is TRUE information that counters what the media finds to be inconvenient information.

An NBC News segment highlighting the “ghost gun” market in the U.S. has earned a response from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Activists have been claiming the network may have broken the very laws they were trying to expose as too lenient. The March 17 report covered so-called “ghost gun” kits that offer firearm parts which can be built into guns, which don’t have serial numbers. The controversial part of the segment came when NBC News reporter Vaughn Hillyard bought a “ghost gun” kit outside of his home state and then gave it to others to build...

A Disinformation Conference demonstrates that there never will be any course correction simply because the propagandists do not think they have erred in any way. A few days ago, The Atlantic magazine organized their 'Disinformation and the Erosion of Democracy' conference at the University of Chicago. The stated purpose of the conference was to talk about countering disinformation and preventing the erosion of democracy. The speakers and panelists were mostly Democrats, such as Barack Obama, Amy Klobuchar, and David Axelrod. The forum also featured Democrat cheerleaders in the media such as Brian Stelter and Anne Applebaum from The Atlantic. Anti-Trump...

A college student has ripped into CNN’s Brian Stelter for being “right up there” on delivering false narratives after members of the liberal media accused Fox News of being a “purveyor of disinformation”. The CNN anchor was a guest at the University of Chicago’s panel discussion on ‘Disinformation and the Erosion of Democracy’ when a college student didn’t hold back arguing the network had made several mistakes including failing to report on the Hunter Biden laptop story. “You’ve all spoken extensively about Fox News being a purveyor of disinformation but CNN is right up there with them,” college freshman Christopher...

Sometimes news is newsworthy not because it is particularly revelatory but because it confirms something obvious that lacked confirmation or because it provides something broadly understood with a sense of scale. This certainly applies to the revelation — uncovered by the New York Times’s Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns and reported by CNN’s Brian Stelter — that President Biden views Rupert Murdoch, founder of Fox News, as “the most dangerous man in the world.” Obvious in broad strokes but now confirmed and with a sense of scale. But this top-line assessment of the face most associated with the right-wing cable...

CNN finally admitted on Wednesday that Hunter Biden’s “laptop from hell” is authentic 532 days after the initial story broke on October 24, 2020 — notably calling it “Russian disinformation” and “made up” at the time. “There are a lot of issues that the Justice Department are looking into, including, of course, this laptop – on the right-wing – has featured a lot of stories about Hunter Biden,” CNN’s Evan Perez acknowledged. “We know the FBI has possession of it and that they believe it is his laptop.”
