Media Malpractice, Hoax Purveying, Misleading Narratives and Other Sins of the 4th Estate Thread

CNN's Don Lay-Mon -- clearly one of the dumbest midwits ever to sit in CNN chair and, believe me, there is STIFF competition -- now putting on his political consultant hat!! Will wonders never cease.??

Notably, [Lay-Mon] criticized Biden for holding public relations events during the middle of the day, as the president had done earlier on Wednesday.

“If you stop holding events at two o’clock in the afternoon when people are at work or in traffic, and start holding them when people are actually at home and watching and paying attention, then maybe, you may be able to change the narrative,” said Lemon.
​

The problem, pal, of course, is that President C'mon Man has to take his 3:00 nap, eat dinner at 5:30, like they do at the Delaware assisted living facility that Jill has already set up for him in case the 25th Amendment gets invoked, and then turn in early. VERY early. Time to establish the pattern!!

But Don Lay-mon pulls no punches -- nor sirree. "You are weak!!" he yells. Unfortunately, rather accurate, surprisingly. Could have added "frail" "shaky" "unable to rub two sticks together" "pu$$ies" (wait, sorry, that's misogynist).

And there's more from guy who lives is DI-verse Sag Harbor on the weekends:

It’s our job to discuss what you are doing and yes, part of what’s in it. But it’s not our job to sell your agenda for you! They are not selling their agenda!​

Yet you DO sell their agenda--it's emblematic of media malpractice, the topic of this thread (that's to remind the mods). . Wrong on one count, but dead right on another. Randomly insightful.

So, I have this platform that I have now, and I am speaking very passionately about it. Democrats, get your butts in gear and get passionate about saving this damn country. You’re not doing it! You’re weak! You are weak! You are weak!
​

Yes, weak indeed, and I guess when a guy's right, he's right. Some people on this board have yet to grasp this concept.

 

Stock up!!!

Of course you'll have to pay more, likely much more, for the electricity for the current freezer -- or maybe the extra one you plan on buying.

Assuming you can find one.

Keep us informed.

 

Maybe she should, though she probably thinks "tic toc" is what her antique swiss floor clock does on the hour in the entryway of her $7 million pad in Pacific Heights.

It's ME whose taking it out of context?? She said SELLING. That is the word Grandma "$24 per pint of ice cream from my second Wolf refrigerator" Nancy used.

Not "passing" -- how quaintly anodyne your interpretations is!!

I love how you guys are rationalizing for her. Nothing could be more emblematic of lower evolutionary life forms.

 

Hey, leftoid denizens. Here's another media sin for ya.

Turns out a guy who threatened to kill Matt Gaetz worked for the media!!

Oh, they SOOOOO wanted to memory hole this, like they have James T. Hodgkinson.

Do you guys remember him? Who did he try to kill??

Anyway...

Man Arrested For Threatening To Kill Matt Gaetz Worked For CNN, ABC, NBC

After the DOJ dragged its feet over the voicemail death threat left at Gaetz' office, 58-year-old Eugene Huelsman of Thousand Oaks was arrested.

According to online databases, a Eugene Huelsman based in Thousand Oaks has worked for decades as a camera operator on film and television productions, garnering five Emmy nominations for his work on NBC's "Late Night with Conan O'Brien." -Politico

"Tell [M.G.] to watch his back, tell him to watch his children," Huelsman allegedly said, according to a grand jury indictment issued in May. "I'm coming for him… I'm gonna f---ing kill him... I'm gonna put a bullet in you and I'm gonna put a bullet in one of your f---ing kids too."
​

Emmy nominations!!! Well, I'll be....

Ok, who is going to be the first dork-brain on here to say, "Matt Gaetz deserves it' or some other equivalent phrasing....

Three........two..........one........

 

Here ya go. The media has a narrative. Shocking, isn't it?

NOT.

A few dozen weirdos protested at Netflix because of some jokes that made their tummies hurt and it was headline news. Right now hundreds of students in Loudoun County are protesting the rape of a student and subsequent cover up, and the media is all but ignoring it.

The author of this piece has the resume and attitudes that I am sure everyone in positions of reportage and authority at the Washington Compost would find admirable. She would not, arguably, be out of their particular stream of thinking in the newsrooms and the editorial page meetings.

She's the perfect left wing media ally. She's wearing the Blue kit. She checks all the boxes.

Oh, in addition, we got some intersection goin' on! Yeah!!!

Emphasis mine.

Karmic harmony. Nice!!!

So we're OK with the premature death of Matt Gaetz?? It would somehow comport with the proper rhythm of the universe?? Is that right??

One could always send him a note, or make a post on the intertubes, or email his congressional office directly.

Do feel free to take a run at it -- specifically I mean emailing his office directly -- and let us know what happens.

By the way, when he gets indicted, tried, and convicted for having sex with underage girls and goes to jail for said crimes. do let us know.

Thanks!!!

 

Are we talking about parents upset about papering over the rape of a girl in a bathroom because to point out the nature of the rapist is politically incorrect?

That papering over??

maybe the

the rash of threatening and hostile behavior northern Virginia school boards have been subjected to

...are parents who are legitimately angry, and expressing their anger in a public forum that should be one where free speech is allowed, over the cover ups, the purposeful indoctrination of students, and the forced authoritarian mandates from totalitarian school boards??

 

Excellent! 'Well done.

Such self reliance may come in handy. As someone who travels a bit to buy sides of beef, for my garage freezer, I applaud you.

Meanwhile, I'd load up with toilet paper if I were you. Might be a problem, might not. Probably not because all that is done domestically. But be prepared to pay up.

I guess we will see.

 

MAGA guy I would think is totally unfair to him. He has never been a "MAGA" guy, AFAIK.

As far as Chappelle being "anti-trans" I think that is also unfair.
