Media Failures

The thing about the media is when it does its job, that's great.  But when it does its job, that's only about 1% of the time.  Sometimes it just provides meaningless fluff.  That's sad but what's worse is when it actively makes errors or promotes lies.

FOX "NEWS"?

 

They have so much to answer for.

 

That includes: Who's the secret MR. ED fan at the network.  

 

There is one, right?

 

That's the only explanation for horse-faced, 62-year-old Laura Ingraham being on the network for nearly two decades now when she should have been put out to pasture -- or dropped off at a glue factory -- over 15 years ago.  Instead, they inflict her nightly on shut-ins around the country.  

 

Must be for the laughs.

 

Like on her program tonight where she felt the most important thing to do was to castigate young American women over the results on an NBC NEWS poll.  Young women were not making marriage their number one goal -- or number two, or number three, or number four . . .

 

This distressed Laura so much she had to call in professional metrosexual Charlie Kirk.  

 

While he unsuccessfully attempted to come off manly, Laura tsk-ed tsk-ed and we had to wonder if we were the only ones laughing?

 

Others watching were aware, right, that 62-year-old Laura has never, ever married?

 

She also attacked young American women for wanting to put off having children.  

 

Viewers were aware that Laura was over 40 when she adopted, right? 

 

For years and years, the network's slogan was "Fair and balanced."  More and more, it seems to be "Hypocrites in hiding."

 

Take 'Christian' Charlie who told Laura that young women had their rankings wrong and the order of them wrong.  They should have babies right now and can work later in life.  He insisted that "young men are ordering their life correctly.  They want to first and foremost have children, get married, and then they have a nice job or to be able to travel."

 

Oh, so the right order, per Charlie, is that a man gets a woman pregnant, then they get married and then the men get "a nice job or [the ability] to be able to travel."  Such passes for 'family values' from con artists pimping Chump.

 

And Charlie never looks less manly then when he opens his mouth and multiple clutch bags fall out.

 

We caught Laura wallowing in her own hypocrisy, stewing in it, basting in her own foul juices back on Thursday, August 28th when friends started calling saying she was making a bigger ass of herself than usual.  What was she doing?

 

She was raging against California Governor  Gavin Newsome.  She bitched, moaned and whined that he wasn't being fair to Convicted Felon Donald Chump.  

Worse than that, she insisted, his mocking Chump could lead to another assassination attack!!!!!

 

!!!!

 

She had a lot of rage and anger to express . . . over a fantasy she came up with herself.

 

What struck as odd was that all month, she's ignored a very real example of how words bring about violence.

 

 

Two weeks prior to her trashing Gavin Newsome, police officer David Rose was killed during an attack on the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, Georgia.  He was 33 years old.

 

WIKIPEDIA:

 

On August 8, 2025, 30-year-old Patrick Joseph White of Kennesaw, Georgia, attacked the CDC's Roybal Campus in Atlanta, Georgia. White attempted to enter the headquarters, but was thwarted by security. White then drove across the street to a CVS Pharmacy where he barricaded himself inside on the second floor, and fired at the campus with a rifle, striking four CDC buildings on multiple floors over 180 times, breaking about 150 windows and piercing some of the blast-resistant windows; authorities recovered more than 500 shell casings and five firearms after the shooting.[100][101] 33-year-old David Rose, a DeKalb County Police Department officer, was fatally wounded by White as he arrived on the scene.[102] Officers entered the pharmacy and found White dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.[103][104]

White is believed to have been motivated by distrust in vaccines, and believed the COVID-19 vaccine had made him depressed and suicidal.[102] He had reached out for mental health assistance for weeks before the attack.[102] Fired But Fighting, a group of laid-off CDC employees, blamed the attack on the anti-vaccine rhetoric of members of the Trump administration, saying that Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., "is directly responsible for the villainization of CDC's workforce through his continuous lies about science and vaccine safety".[105][102] A union representing CDC employees called on both the CDC and the leadership of the Department of Health and Human Services to denounce vaccine misinformation, and said that the attack was a result of compounding misinformation and obloquy towards science and health officials. While Kennedy Jr. had reached out to CDC staff and said "no one should face violence while working to protect the health of others", Dr. Jerome Adams, a former Surgeon General, described Kennedy Jr.'s response as "tepid" and that Kennedy Jr. must do more given his past "inflammatory rhetoric".[106] On August 11, Kennedy Jr. toured the Roybal Campus with deputy secretary Jim O'Neill and CDC director Susan Monarez, but did not speak with the media during the visit, although he did meet privately with Rose's widow.[100] A day later, in an interview with Scripps News, when Kennedy Jr. was asked if he had a message for CDC employees concerned about the consequences of misinformation about vaccines, he said political violence was "wrong" and claimed not enough was known about White's motives yet to draw conclusions before criticizing the government's previous vaccination efforts as "overreaching" and that the government had said "things that are not always true" in order to get people vaccinated.[107] Trump did not respond to the shooting of the police officer.[108][109]

 

 Berkeley Lovelace Jr., Priya Sridhar and Daniela Hernandez (NBC NEWS) reported August 11th:

 

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention staffers are voicing frustration over Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s past vaccine comments, following Friday’s shooting at the agency’s headquarters in Atlanta that left one police officer dead.

Although the motive of the suspected shooter -- Patrick White, 30, from Kennesaw, Georgia -- remains unknown, he told a neighbor that he believed the Covid vaccines had made him sick, a source told NBC News on the condition of anonymity.

[. . .]

For some employees, the shooting highlighted growing hostility toward public health officials, which they feel has been shaped by Kennedy’s long history of spreading vaccine misinformation, including the Covid vaccine.

In 2021, Kennedy filed a citizens’ petition requesting that the Food and Drug Administration revoke the authorization of the Covid vaccines. The same year, he described the Covid shot as the “deadliest vaccine ever made.”

Just last week, Kennedy terminated 22 contracts focused on developing mRNA vaccines -- the same technology used to develop Pfizer’s and Moderna's Covid shots. In an announcement on X, Kennedy claimed "mRNA technology poses more risks than benefits for these respiratory viruses."

 

She's ignored that but she feels Gavin mocking Chump the way Chump mocks others was just too risky.  Or that's the latest lie she told her viewers.

 

Of course, FOX "NEWS" is not the only problem. 

 

Norah O'Donnell demonstrated this week how much damage that even a professional and trained journalist can do.  Bounced from the anchor desk on CBS EVENING NEWS, she's trying to reinvent herself and she did so this week via an interview with Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett.  

 

Interview?   

 

More like infomercial.  Amy's got a book to sell and she used CBS' airtime to sell her wares while Norah appeared to snooze through the remarks.  

 If there was any reason to interview the justice -- this was her first TV interview since joining the Supreme Court in 2020 -- it was to get an understanding of DOBBS and grasp what it mean for future rulings from the ethically challenged Amy.

 

DOBBS overturned ROE V WADE.  Norah pressed her on that.  Ames can't take responsibility so she yammered away including claiming, "The Supreme Court's decision in DOBBS gave that decision to the democratic process and to the states.  It didn't roll back rights.  It didn't render abortion illegal, unconstitutional or anything else and -- in effect -- many states very fully protected abortion rights -- more than under the regime of ROE since the time of the decision in DOBBS."

 

Norah tried to follow it up by pointing out that it overturned the Constitutional right to an abortion and Ames insisted, "Well, what it said" -- "it"?  she was one of the six justices who voted to strike down ROE -- "is that the Constitution had not protected the abortion right under the Due Process Clause. And it said that Roe had been an error and Casey had been an error to hold otherwise."

 

Amy's a liar and we all know it.  But we hope you read the above because Norah soon decided to take a nap during the interview.  That was right after she asked about the Court and whether it would attempt to overturn marriage equality?  

 

In 2015, OBERGEFELL V HODGES was the case that decided marriage equality. Amy replied to Norah, "You know, what the court is trying to do is see what the American people have decided. And sometimes the American people have expressed themselves in the Constitution itself, which is our fundamental law; sometimes in statutes. But the court should not be imposing its own values on the American people. That's for the democratic process."

 

Norah just snoozed through it.  Worse, some idiots in the press are hailing that remark as proof that OBERFEFELL is safe.

 

No, it's not.  And the idiot justice just told you that:  "You know, what the court is trying to do is see what the American people have decided. And sometimes the American people have expressed themselves in the Constitution itself, which is our fundamental law; sometimes in statutes. But the court should not be imposing its own values on the American people. That's for the democratic process."

 

Too many moderates are reading that to mean that she's saying the Court she's on now "should not be imposing its own values on the American people," which, in fact, she's not.  She's saying that the 2015 decision was a case of the Supreme Court "imposing its own values on the American people." 

 

That's what she's saying.  

 

And that's how journalists -- even real ones -- disappoint the American public.  They refuse to cut through the nonsense and instead rush to tie a bow around everything.

 

If we had a media we deserved, we wouldn't have Chump in the White House.  This week, in "Stop Acting Like This Is Normal" (NEW YORK TIMES), Ezra Klein offered, "I often heard people complain that Democrats lacked a message. What Democrats really lacked was power. They didn’t have the House or the Senate [. . .]"  And he's right.  But the Dems also didn't have the media.  Not even at MSNBC which is to Dems what FOX "NEWS" is to Republicans.  We could have had it and we certainly had the facts on our side.  But we were betrayed and backstabbed by Norman Solomon and Rashida Tlaib.  The most important issue in any American election is and always should be: America.

 

Sitting out the election or voting for Jill Stein or Donald Chump did not end the war on Gaza and only idiots and liars thought it would. We do not believe that Kamala Harris was 'the lesser of two evils.'  But for those fools who did, grasp that Operation Iron Wall has killed over a thousand people and displaced 4,000 more per UNRWA.  Operation Iron Wall?  Netanyahu kicked it off January 21st -- the same day Chump was sworn in for his second term. That's blood on a lot of hands -- the hands of people like Amy Goodman who used their 'left' outlets to tear down Kamala Harris and elect Donald Chump.   

We don't get the government we deserve, we get the government the media markets.
