Your source for mainline mainstream media misdeeds and malarkey.
With the country roiling over the Middle East protests the press find themselves in a tough position. They cannot outwardly be critical of the ugly and dangerous rhetoric, because framing the protests as a negative under the Biden administration is not an option. But…this flies directly in opposition to them spending years finding any small example of intolerance as an example of Trump-Republicans fostering anti-semitism. With numerous pro-Hamas uprisings across the country, the media are straining to paint these as peaceful, “anti-war” protests.
Along with this was the deeply flawed and slanted coverage by CNN on the “discovery” of hundreds of bodies at a Gaza hospital, attempting to frame this as an Israeli military atrocity. Small problem: CNN confirmed that the Palestinians had previously buried people on location, ahead of the Israeli arrival.
We also cover more Biden lies this week going unaddressed by the fact-checkers, more DeSantis distemper in the Florida press, and just as the problem of Caitlin Clark’s salary was solved, it is said to be a sign of another problem – of course.
Now, crack one open and savor some mainstream media mayhem and malpractice.
