This Week in Media Bias History: Just a ‘Fantasy’ That Press Was Pro-Obama

<p>Sometimes it’s an understatement to say journalists live in a bubble. On the one hand, they thrill over Barack Obama as “God.” Yet, on March 23, 2009, MSNBC anchor David Shuster called it a “fantasy” to say that the press was pro-Obama. Other examples from This Week in Media Bias History: That time Ted Turner created a slobbering propaganda film on the Soviet Union, a country that “belongs to the people.”</p>

Shocking! Celebrities Don’t Care Much For Our Constitutional Rights

As you know, today is National F*ck The Constitution Day being celebrated by thousands of teenagers and freedom haters across the country. The March for Our Lives rallies nationwide are protesting our 2nd Amendment right to keep and bear arms in reaction to a criminal breaking the law. Because nobody says, “Hey a bad guy did a bad thing, let’s punish the good people” like celebrities, they are out in full force supporting the suppression and eventual elimination of our most important civil right.

George Clooney, Oprah Winfrey, and whole host of leftist entertainers have donated massive sums of money to this anti-gun movement. They have been joined by none other than Taylor Swift.

She doesn’t say how much she donated, but this is people marching and that doesn’t seem like an activity that requires funding so any amount is too much.

Selena Gomez couldn’t afford to part with any dollars, nor could she be bothered to work up a coherent note of support.

And then the Twits came out:

Finally, nothing gives credibility to a movement like the wit and wisdom of Kim Kardashian:

Considering that celebrity support for Hillary Clinton is directly responsible for Donald Trump being President, I think it’s safe to say that their anti-gun hysterics will lead to the deregulation of fully automatic weapons and a general loosening of gun laws. Thanks Hollywood!

Family of Murdered Parkland Student NOT ALLOWED TO SPEAK at DC #MarchForOurLives Rally — They Aren’t Anti-Gun

Family of Murdered Parkland Student NOT ALLOWED TO SPEAK at DC #MarchForOurLives Rally — They Aren’t Anti-Gun

The family of slain Parkland student Meadow Pollack was disinvited from speaking at the March for Our Lives rally in Washington, DC. The family is not pushing gun control, but rather securing our schools and protecting our children.

Meadow’s brother, Hunter Pollack, had prepared a touching and thoughtful speech — which he instead shared in a Facebook Live video online.

“We need to be on a mission to stop these monsters before they take action inside our schools. We must demand our leaders to help those that who are sick, but we must also demand that they protect those of us that are not,” Hunter’s speech began. “In closing I ask you to say my sister’s name to yourself. It’s such a beautiful name. Meadow. If you say her name it’s impossible not to feel the beauty of who she was and who she will always be. Meadow. It makes me think of a sunny day like this one, a day when the sun shines on our youth and on our desire to live a safe and happy life.”

Meadow was an 18-year-old senior when her life was tragically cut short along with 16 of her fellow students on Valentine’s Day. The Pollack family believes that her death was because the school was not secured properly and action was never taken despite all the glaring warning signs about the shooter.

Meadow’s father Andrew has organized a motorcycle ride in honor of his daughter that will take place on March 31.

“We are calling for Motorcycle Riders from South Florida to join as one to ride for the memory of the 17 victims of the Stoneman Douglass School Shooting. The ride will take us from Palm Beach Harley-Davidson to the home of Andrew Pollack, father of Meadow, in Coral Springs,” the website rideformeadow.com states.

Similar to other survivors who disagree that the answer to school violence is disarming the population, the Pollack family has been shunned by much of the mainstream media outside Fox News. It is hard to imagine that this is unrelated to their lack of willingness to shill for Democratic policies.

Her grieving father was previously subjected to disgusting and hateful backlash online after being pictured wearing a “Trump 2020” shirt.

Jesse Watters Goes Nuclear After Omnibus Passes – ‘No Way to Spin It’

If you don’t like the new omnibus bill voted on by Congress and signed by the president, you’re not alone.

In spite of the president’s apparent reluctance and concerns about national security, there are plenty of people who have gone nuclear over the omnibus bill, and one of them is Fox News Channel’s Jesse Watters.

In a scathing statement on the Friday edition of “The Five,” Watters said there was “no way to spin” the bill as anything else but a complete disaster, particularly given the fact that President Trump caved on border security while simultaneously approving so much spending.

“Well I know one thing,” Watters began, “Mexico’s not going to pay for the wall, and neither are we. Because it says there’s gonna be only 1.6 billion for the wall and you can’t even use the new concrete wall prototypes that he just surveyed.”

Conservative Tribune Daily Email

Thanks For Subscribing!

“And it’s only supposed to be for 93 miles, the border is 3,000 miles. And the only fencing that is gonna be done is backup fencing and repairs.”

“This was a huge defeat for the president on a signature issue,” Watters added.

“It’s really really bad, there’s no way to spin it. I know he wanted more money for the military and that’s incredibly important but he sacrificed everything else to get it.”

“And I hate to do this, I hate to quote Rand Paul, but Rand Paul said something … he said there’s an unholy alliance between Republicans and Democrats in Congress.”

Do you think the omnibus was a disaster for Trump?

“The Republicans want to spend like crazy on the military,” he continued,

“And the Democrats say, ‘OK we’ll give you the military spending, if we can spend whatever we want on domestic spending, and they get together and they just run deficits.”

“But the border is a mess, and crying Chuck Schumer gets all the money he wants for a tunnel from New Jersey to New York and there’s no border wall funding?

“I saw some of this other pork, I mean Planned Parenthood a half a billion dollars, the John F. Kennedy Center is getting forty million? Stuff that is, they wanted to cut the budget for the EPA, the EPA budget is at a historic high.

“It’s really insulting. And he says it’s never gonna happen again?” he added. “I don’t see how he’s going to change the dynamic in Congress to have this never happen again. Democrats are never gonna work for border wall funding and Republicans aren’t gonna go to the mattresses for it.

“Maybe he should have his rich billionaire friends pony up, maybe they can privatize it.”

Watters, sadly, is right. This is a major defeat for conservatives, particularly on border security and spending. How are conservatives, who have already seen major losses, supposed to trust Trump (or the GOP) going into the midterms?

Yes, we understand the importance of the military. We understand the fact that it was gutted under Obama. That doesn’t justify this faustian deal to keep the government open. This was the kind of thing that a non-politician like Donald Trump was supposed to avoid. Maybe he’ll get another shot at it, but this omnibus is not a good omen.

CNN Has Just Gone Full Propaganda – Not Even Trying to Hide It

When it comes to propaganda, it’s the full-court press.

With major mainstream media giving wall-to-wall coverage of Saturday’s “March for Our Lives” demonstration for gun control in Washington and throughout the country, Americans were being told this weekend the latest liberal cause celebre is at the top of the country’s mind.

And the master manipulators of “fake news” at CNN were leading the way.

The notoriously liberal network’s coverage of the anti-gun movement has been virtually non-stop since the shootings in February at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.

But a glance at its homepage on Saturday showed the choreography of outrage being taken to a new level.

Conservative Tribune Daily Email

Thanks For Subscribing!

The entire top was turned over to the march coverage, with pictures and texts designed to elicit maximum sympathy for the cause – and nary a mention that there are millions of American with equally valid viewpoints who aren’t supporting the demonstration’s goal of greater government control over a supposedly free people.

For CNN and its fellow travelers in the mainstream media, the image really is everything.

And the images from this screen grab early Saturday say it all:

Do you think CNN has the most biased coverage of any major network?

One is a survivor of the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre Newtown, Connecticut, in 2012. Another was paralyzed in her legs by a drive-by shooting outside her high school in Aurora, Colorado, in 2010.

And, of course, there’s one of the many now-ubiquitous pictures of young people upset by February’s mass shooting in Parkland, Florida.

The stories are discordant.

The Newtown and Parkland shootings were the acts of depraved madmen. The 20-year-old killer at Sandy Hook shot himself in the head as police arrived, but there’s no doubt he was insane. The 19-year-old Parkland killer is currently in custody and virtually guaranteed execution by the state of Florida.

RELATED: CNN Pres. Calls Fox News ‘State-Run TV,’ Tucker Puts Him in His Place With a Bombshell

But the story of Karina Vargas, the Aurora victim, is different. According to a Vargas profile in Westword, an alternative weekly in Denver, the man who shot her was a reputed gang member, an illegal alien who was gunning for members of a rival gang at the time. Vargas (also an illegal alien at the time of the shooting) was collateral damage.

For propaganda purposes, though, the facts themselves aren’t important. What matters is that the pimps of pain at CNN could put youthful, female faces on its homepage to maximize the emotional impact of the moment.

Honest news coverage of the issue would include dissenting voices, like, for instance, Kyle Kashuv, a Parkland survivor with no time for the gun-grabbing antics of his mugging-for-the-cameras classmates.

But honest news coverage isn’t what CNN is selling these days.

From its constant, carping criticism of the Trump White House (that sometimes ends in embarrassment for the network), to its disgracefully stage-managed “town hall” meeting about gun control and the Parkland shooting, the network has gone full propaganda for the liberal left of American politics.

But Saturday’s “March for Our Lives” coverage was way too far, even for CNN.

Heil Hogg: Teen Demagogue Fuels the Fire for Generational Warfare

Today is the day that patriots are getting a harrowing glimpse of what their futures will be if they don’t get up off of their asses and start fighting back against the neo-Stalinist uprising in America.

Anyone with even a moderately functional bullshit detector could have seen where the dangerous youth uprising that liberal groups and their media lackeys started with their glorification of the delusional little monster David Hogg.

Hogg has become the snarling attack dog of the left who are playing with fire by unleashing what is potentially the most perilous and potent form of identity politics of all – the young against their elders.

As I wrote earlier right here at DT:

Today is the day when budding megalomaniac and celebrity school shooting survivor David Hogg will have his already massive ego fed by the roar of the hundreds of thousands who will descend upon the nation’s capital to hear him speak.

The “March For Our Lives” will allow young Hogg, the who is being groomed as the future Führer of the left to feel as though he was addressing the masses at Nuremberg and you can count on CNN to record the event for posterity just like Leni Riefenstahl did with her historic propaganda film “Triumph of the Will.”

I guess that I was pretty close:

And just like Fräulein Riefenstahl and the Ministry of Propaganda did back in 1935, so are the modern descendants of Goebbels and his minions on the job today because that little salute that Hogg just snapped off shows that Nikolas Cruz wasn’t the only psycho who went to school at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High.

Just watch this little monster, he is out of control and one day he is going to turn on those who made him possible because the Night of the Long Knives is coming.

This is bad, the vengeful left’s ideology is hitting on all cylinders and now they are cultivating charismatic figures like this.

I close with just a few excerpts from Eric Hoffer’s “The True Believer”:

The sick in soul insist that it is humanity that is sick, and they are the surgeons to operate on it. They want to turn the world into a sickroom. And once they get humanity strapped to the operating table, they operate on it with an ax.

AND

Once the stage is set, the presence of an outstanding leader is indispensable. Without him there will be no movement.

AND

Those who see their lives as spoiled and wasted crave equality and fraternity more than they do freedom. If they clamor for freedom, it is but freedom to establish equality and uniformity. The passion for equality is partly a passion for anonymity: to be one thread of the many which make up a tunic; one thread not distinguishable from the others. No one can then point us out, measure us against others and expose our inferiority.

They who clamor loudest for freedom are often the ones least likely to be happy in a free society. The frustrated, oppressed by their shortcomings, blame their failure on existing restraints. Actually, their innermost desire is for an end to the “free for all.” They want to eliminate free competition and the ruthless testing to which the individual is continually subjected in a free society.

AND

Passionate hatred can give meaning and purpose to an empty life. Thus people haunted by the purposelessness of their lives try to find a new content not only by dedicating themselves to a holy cause but also by nursing a fanatical grievance. A mass movement offers them unlimited opportunities for both.

To borrow from Leonard Cohen, I’ve have seen the future brother: it is murder.

Guns And Women: A Growing Trend

A ‘trend’ the media has just discovered.

Via WBTV:

There is a growing trend across the country and it’s being felt here in Charlotte. The number of women buying and shooting guns is growing.

I went to a local gun range where I talked to women and got their thoughts on the trend.

When I visited the Blackstone Shooting Sports range in Charlotte, I found many women shooting at targets. Corey Brausch told me, “It’s not something that’s just for the boys, it’s definitely for us too!”

For many women these days, gun ownership hits the target. Catherine Wells told me, “Fun. Just fun. A sense of relief knowing that I can do something accurately.”

Ashton Currie Coonrod says, “Finding a target and being able to have that challenge of hitting it on the dot, you know, that’s a lot of fun. And it’s a great social thing to be able to do with my girlfriends, with my husband…”

Nathan Davis is general manager of Blackstone Shooting Sports. He says 30 percent of the membership base here is female and it’s growing. He added, “New entrance to the market, that segment is growing all the time. That’s ladies, that’s people of different ethnicities that haven’t generally been involved in shooting sports. That’s people of different demographics. So the point is, the new entrance to the market, that trend is growing significantly, while the traditional shooter is, that is somewhat of a declining segment.”

Cathy Wright of Chapel Hill is a gun enthusiast and has received national recognition for her support of the second amendment. She thinks there are many reasons more women are picking up guns.

“A lot of women come from a rural background,” she says, “and they have used guns all of their life or they have been around guns all of their lives, so it’s comfortable for them. It’s a nice segue. The other group, perhaps, are the women who are concerned about their personal safety. And they get involved and learn how to shoot a gun, and they’re introduced to other guns, and they enjoy the experience.”

Mindless ‘March for Our Lives’ gun control kids have bigger worries than guns

While a group of know-it-all, know-nothing, arrogant adolescent (OK, that’s all redundant and self defining) puppets gather around the country, especially in Washington, D.C., for a celebrity-funded, virtue-signaling, and otherwise mysteriously funded so-called March for Our Lives, mouthing their string-pullers’ slogans, their peers are dying of other, non-trendy causes.  According to the Centers for Disease Control


Leading causes of deaths among adolescents aged 15 – 19 years:



  • Accidents (unintentional injuries)
  • Suicide
  • Homicide


While the teenies are marching and screeching and generally having a self-centered good time pitying themselves while telling adults what to do, let’s further pursue the major causes of adolescent death and injuries.  


The Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBSS) monitors six types of health-risk behaviors that contribute to the leading causes of death and disability among youth and adults, including— 


  • Behaviors that contribute to unintentional injuries and violence
  • Sexual behaviors related to unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV infection
  • Alcohol and other drug use
  • Tobacco use
  • Unhealthy dietary behaviors
  • Inadequate physical activity


Oh.


Given the publicity for the recent tragedy in Parkland, Florida, violent behavior among adolescents toward adolescents seems to have increased.  But no, adolescents are adolescents, and violence in adolescent society has generally remained stable over the past 25 years.  As a matter of fact, some categories, such as carrying a weapon on school property, being threatened with a weapon on school property, and being in a physical fight on school property, have decreased.  


Carried a weapon on school property (such as, a gun, knife, or club, on at least 1 day during the 30 days before the survey) Decreased 1993—2015 Decreased 1993—1997 Decreased 1997—2015 Decreased


Sadly, there is an exception in these statistics  –  one that will not be addressed by the marchers because it is too…racist, sexist, ruinous to the narrative.  


  • Among teenagers, non-Hispanic black males have the highest death rate (94.1 deaths per 100,000 population).
  • Homicide is the leading cause of death for non-Hispanic black male teenagers.  For all other groups, accident is the leading cause.


The deaths of these black males are usually caused by other black males.  Using guns.  Illegally obtained


But these victims won’t be numerous at the marches.  Those who will attend and preen and whine are in more danger of injury or death by something as mundane as preventable accidents.  Boring!


Deaths to teenagers 12-19 years comprise a small fraction of the total deaths occurring each year in the United States. From 1999 to 2006 less than 1 percent (0.68 percent) – or 131,000 deaths – occurred to teenagers 12-19 years. This represents an average of 16,375 deaths per year for this group. Teenage mortality is an important public health issue because the majority of deaths among teenagers are caused by external causes of injury such as accidents, homicide, and suicide. These causes of death are, by definition, preventable.


And what type of accidents causes the most adolescent deaths?  


Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for U.S. teens.  Six teens ages 16 to 19 die every day from motor vehicle injuries.  Per mile driven, teen drivers ages 16 to 19 are nearly three times more likely than drivers aged 20 and older to be in a fatal crash.


Fortunately, teen motor vehicle crashes are preventable, and proven strategies can improve the safety of young drivers on the road.


But planning a safe driving march for teens, with tips on avoiding drinking or drugging and driving  (shush, shush – especially among adolescent males, especially among adolescent black males – shush, shush) is not on the agenda of the march’s puppet masters and their funders.  Nor are the reasons for it, nor are the reasons for an increase in suicide among adolescents.  Again, these boring but vital causes just aren’t trending, just aren’t of interest to the glittering celebs nor of the…let’s say it: those who want to confiscate guns. 


So, as a former adolescent, I’ll give the teenage marchers some advice: don’t drink and drive.  Teenage suicide is increasing.  Guide your friends – or yourself – to your school’s counselors or other helpful, knowledgeable people.


And look around and see who is pulling your strings for his own benefit, not yours.  That way, hopefully, you’ll survive to be a wise 30-plus person like me lamenting how youth is wasted on the young.

They ‘Should Start Packing Their Sh*t’: John Bolton Set To Purge Obama Holdovers From White House

They ‘Should Start Packing Their Sh*t’: John Bolton Set To Purge Obama Holdovers From White House

Attention Obama holdovers currently working to undermine President Trump’s foreign policy: your days in the White House are reportedly numbered. 

Daily Caller reports:

Sources told Foreign Policy that Bolton’s planned purge will start with Obama administration holdovers and eventually broaden to include leakers and those disloyal to the president.

“Bolton can and will clean house,” a former White House official told Foreign Policy.

Another official issued a warning to former Obama officials — “Everyone who was there during Obama years should start packing their shit.”

But the purge reportedly won’t stop with former Obama appointees. A source told Foreign Policy that Bolton intends to “remove almost all the political [appointees] McMaster brought in.”

As The Gateway Pundit‘s Jim Hoft reported, President Trump announced Thursday that former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, John Bolton will replace H.R. McMaster as National Security Advisor next month.

“I am pleased to announce that, effective 4/9/18, @AmbJohnBolton will be my new National Security Advisor. I am very thankful for the service of General H.R. McMaster who has done an outstanding job & will always remain my friend. There will be an official contact handover on 4/9,” Trump tweeted.

‘March for Our Lives’ Organizer Has Sickening Message for Teens Who Disagree

This is how liberals really feel about the rest of America.

Saturday’s “March for Our Lives” demonstration in the nation’s capital and cities throughout the country is being billed by a fawning mainstream media as a grassroots effort aimed at protecting all Americans from the threat of “gun violence.”

But in an NPR interview Friday, one of the moment’s best-known spokesmen let the real truth slip out.

The moment came when 17-year-old Cameron Kasky, a student at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, was asked how he would respond to people his own age who disagreed with the national gun control hysteria that’s swept the country since the Feb. 14 shootings at the school.

“I’ve read some really interesting op-eds by students about your age who say, you know, ‘I’m growing up in rural America. Guns are part of my family’s culture. I like target shooting. I don’t think guns are a bad thing,’” “Morning Edition” host Noel King began.

Conservative Tribune Daily Email

Thanks For Subscribing!

“What do you say to a 17-year-old who fundamentally disagrees with you about some of this stuff?” King asked.

Kasky’s answer was chilling – and sickening.

“Well, I say we’re marching to protect you from other people like you who have guns,” the arrogant teenager answered. “And I say that target shooting, while it is a sport, we’ve become the targets.”

And that gives the game away.

Are these teenagers being used by left-wing political groups?

There’s no diversity of thought allowed in this movement, no room for good-faith disagreement. Like communists at their worst, dissent from the orthodox beliefs is evidence of a disturbed mind. “Tolerance” is reserved only for those who agree with their leaders.

To the gun grabbers, no matter how they dress it up in high-sounding language, the crux of the argument boils down to the fact that they’re willing to argue that anyone – literally anyone – who owns a gun in the United States is a potential mass killer.

To the gun grabbers, maniacs like the 19-year-old who committed the Parkland massacre aren’t aberrations. They’re representative of millions and millions of Americans who exercise their constitutional rights to own firearms for the own protection, and for the protection of their families.

And the only thing a responsible government can do when it’s faced with a horde of citizenry bent on destruction is to set up the stiffest possible controls.

RELATED: Confiscation: New Initiative Would Require Gun Owners to Turn in Their Weapons

In the liberal mindset, Americans who possess firearms aren’t simply free citizens exercising a God-given freedom that’s guaranteed under the Second Amendment, they’re potentially murderous criminal who need the strong hand of the state to control their every move.

To be fair, Kasky and his cohorts are only teenagers enjoying the thrill of sudden celebrity – being on the cover of Time magazine and winning adulation from adoring public has to be heady stuff for kids.

They might even think they’re sincere, but teenage sincerity, like teenage love, tends to be a fleeting thing.

In short, they’re fools, but they’re children.

The most sickening part of Kasky’s declaration is that it’s what’s really behind the manipulations that have made the anti-gun movement the left’s latest insulting assault on the majority of the American people.

Under left-wing direction, the Black Lives Matter gangsters preached that white Americans at heart are racists who harbor an oppressive hatred of all blacks. Under left-wing direction, the Women’s March harridans (and their #MeToo sisters) shriek that all men are sexual predators.

Now, under the behind-the-scenes control of national liberal groups, the March for Our Lives naïfs are going the final step, to declare that Americans who believe in their right to self-defense are actually murderers in their souls.

In the liberal mind, every one of these characteristics means more need for government wardens, more need for the state to control the lives of individuals, more need for a totalitarian system to turn free citizens into abject subjects.

It took an overconfident, arrogant teenager to let it slip with a sympathetic interviewer, but there it is:

It’s what liberals really feel about the rest of America.
