"our sacred airwaves" lololol

I love it when corporate dolts say the quiet part out loud.

In our new church/state alliance the MSM becomes the Vatican, and as long as you make sure to always regurgitate tribal dogma and defend the Narrative du jour, you will be granted Papal infallibility.

It is telling though that you can be a paid liar for Bush/Cheney, the most destructive dishonest war criminals of the 21st century, and still get your Insider pass stamped and are allowed in the club of People Who Matter; but one syllable in favor of the Orange Beast gets you labeled as an enemy of the state who deserves banishment, imprisonment, immiseration.

These people are as arrogant and clueless as the inhabitants of Versailles in 1788.

Normally anyone saying what Hamza El Boudali said about killing the president would warrant at least a visit from the FBI if not an arrest. No one is supposed to threaten a president of the USA. Democrats are trying to curry favor with the fast growing American Muslim population by allowing this man to break this important existing law. They are so clueless as to how the politics of immigration work. Their radical trans agenda has already severely alienated most of this conservative voting block. Their anti-business policies have caused much division amount the strongly entrepreneurial immigrant communities. What will happen soon is the formation of new political parties not aligned with either existing major political party & this will force coalitions to form & alter our current two party domination of American politics. No Labels is being hamstrung by a lack of ideology. It’s essentially a Liberal version of a third party. A party composed of Evangelicals, conservative Catholics, Muslims & Mormons will be a different story. Because they have & raise large families & protect them from the Liberal ideology.

What you just described is exactly what happened in Canada. Two minority parties created a coalition and can shove through legislation they did not run on and that NO Canadian wants with the help of a third minority party that votes with them. We are in hell until the fourth party Conservatives crush them at the next election. Polls are looking very good for that to happen. In the interim totalitarian leftist Marxism is the name of the game. 😡😡😡😡😡

And yet Stanford scientists trying to publish research contrary to the main Covid narrative had their careers threatened.

Biden still brings up the "fine people" hoax, too. The idea that anybody believes a word that comes out of his mouth is baffling.

He says it because it works on his tribe. Same with the bleach injection.

the funny part is that if that there is plenty of stuff that Trump has said that they could use and be accurate in their criticisms.

in the immortal words of America's greatest social commentator, Chris Rock: "If someone kills 8 people, don't say they killed 9."

inside the corporate media bubble, which seems to bear a strong resemblance to the inside of the Soviet Politburo, waxing hysterical about the Orange Beast helps you show off your tribal loyalty and allegiance to tribal dogma; outside the media bubble, it leads to their credibility and viewership gradually draining away.

that they never can and never will see this is just part of life inside the bubble.

if what you say is true, and I agree, the only solution to the declining credibility and viewership is to silence anyone with an opposing view.

Gotta love Yeglesia. His accuracy is on broken clock level but since that passes for brilliance in journalism nowadays, he gets a pass to regurgitate Democratic propaganda and apologia.

I clicked on that link. Looks like a screen shot of footnotes to a Substack article. But, I must be dense, since I cannot figure out what he's talking about. Hypocrisy to claim that Floyd protests-riots-insurrections-whatever you want to call it did not spread COVID? That it it was or was not hypocrisy?

He pops up on my X feed. My interpration is that he is saying the blatant hypocrisy of our health care "experts" with regard to this is "not so bad."

Our healthcare experts are not public health bureaucrats like Fauci and the uber-bureaucrat running the Los Angeles public health administration. They are no different from all bureaucrats, whose goal is to PROVE diligence, by doing the thing right. The real experts are practitioners - physicians, PAs and NPs - whose goal is ACHIEVING diligence by keeping you healthy.

Bill, Im not sure how much I trust them anymore. If they are not personal friends, i have a hard time. I do not trust any Dr under 40 at all.

On my first visit to a physician I have learned to test them for listening. If they don't listen, I don't come back.

'“The New York Times is essentially an instrument of the Democratic Party.” — RFK Jr., in an interview with NYT’s Astead Herndon.'

I listened to that entire interview. RFK is totally right. Not only did Herndon, in editing, semi-mute RFK to add a contrary voiceover, but near the end he was really pushing the idea of RFK as a spoiler that would lead to Donald Trump's reelection. And what was with that woman who interrupted twice to announce that they were running overtime?

American voters need to get over the cultural conditioning that voting for a third-party candidate is a wasted vote. Because of the winner-take-all Electoral College system, unless you're in a swing state your vote's wasted anyway, so you might as well use it to send a message of protest.

Not a RFK guy though he has taken a few stands I find compelling. but the fact is, if he was made head of the DNC tomorrow he would be OK with the relationship with the NYT.

My comment was not so much about RFK per se, as it was the blatant bias of the interviewer. The voiceover as well as the interruptions are things I've never experienced before in what is purported to be an interview of a serious presidential candidate.

I'm not an RFK fan in the slightest. And, you are correct that he would be fine with the NYT being a publicity/propaganda agent, so long as it was on his behalf. But, TBF, so would Trump.

"progressive..... endorsing the Floyd protests is somewhat overblown" Not sure quite what was meant here...... he was presumably referring to the surround-sound sanctification of the George Floyd 'mostly peaceful ' rioting plus opportunistic looting, raping and murdering.... plus Western MSM performative knee-taking. Or is that somewhat overblown too?

Your second item, the Matt Taibbi quote, goes to a National Review article in which Matt's name doesn't appear anywhere. Is it a wrong link?
