Kathy Griffin, just another media whore

Whelp now that the well deserved cycle of "artistic" defiance, desperate justification, then boot-licking apology  has elapsed over the last 24 hours for Kathy Griffin we can reflect on the true reasons the whole episode transpired.

Griffin, like all desperate celebrities, is really just a simple media whore.
It was all about getting attention by latching onto the new "trendy" activity among leftists which is "the resistance". The goal wasn't art or comedy or to even make a political statement the goal was to receive accolades from the liberal media to get publicity for being "edgy".

But the truth is if she, or any number of has beens, could gain an advantage by being seen with Trump they wouldn't hesitate.

Partisanship never gets in the way of the bottom line for these folks, she took a shot and it shot back. People need to realize that those in the media and those who try to use the media are not on anyone's "side" except their own and they will use and manipulate each other for their own ends.

So don't expect this kind of foolishness to end.

When will the lies about terrorism stop?

You would think that at some point people will stop believing the lying pandering politicians and media and finally demand some kind of resolution to the problem of terrorism.



Tucker Carlson nails the frustration that a lot of people feel.

Caitlyn Jenner the Accidental Republican

As much as I've tried to ignore it apparently the biggest news this week seems to be Bruce Jenners "coming out".

Bruce Jenner debuts new identity: Caitlyn

This appears to be the second coming out for Bruce/ Caitlyn because a short time ago as "Bruce" he declared he was a republican.

That's got to be mind blowing for the all the social justice warriors out there having to fight their natural instinct to attack anyone claiming to be a (gasp) republican.

Not only hasn't that happened but now there is a republican on the cover of Vanity Fair.

Hurray for our side huh?

Instead all the left wing media robots are out there falling all over themselves trying to out do each others effusive fawning about how brave he/she is.

Somehow the republican thing is swept under the rug. Not that we should be claiming any bragging rights. But I do get quite a bit of satisfaction knowing that there is a part of the liberal/commie media recoiling in horror that they have to lavish praise on someone who proclaims to be a republican.

Stephanopoulos Cozy's to the Clintons

Anyone paying attention can't possibly have missed how far in bed liberal/commie journalists are with the Clinton's and the democrat party.
It's when they get caught that it's really entertaining.

EXPOSED: GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS HID $50K CLINTON FOUNDATION DONATION FROM VIEWERS

While reporting on, and aggressively defending the Clinton Foundation from numerous scandals and ethical issues, George Stephanopoulos, the star and poster boy of ABC News, hid his own conflict of interest from viewers. According to Politico, Bill Clinton’s former war room soldier and press secretary, the current anchor of “Good Morning America” and “This Week,” has donated at least $50,000 to the Clinton Foundation.

This is a bombshell of a black eye for ABC News.

Since ABC News hired Stephanopoulos as its chief anchor and chief political correspondent, many questioned how a former-Democrat operative could remain neutral in the role of a news anchor. Even before Hillary Clinton entered the 2016 presidential race, on numerous occasions Stephanopoulos exposed himself as a Democrat operative working as a news man.~snip~

Old George has been carrying water for the democrats for quite a while and his biases are pretty apparent. What's really surprising is that that he and ABC think they can minimize the damage already done by simply bowing out of the debates.
They're not taking into account that now any political reporting he does will be tainted by his obvious left-wing biases.
If he's going to shill for progressive/commies that's fine but ABC shouldn't let him do it under the guise of unbiased journalism.

Biased Pollsters Revealed....Finally

There's a couple of articles out today after the trouncing the Labor party took in Britons general election that should have us all wondering about the integrity of said pollsters. First off Nate Silvers take. Bod added

Nate Silver: Polls are failing us

Nate Silver fared terribly in Thursday's UK election: In his pre-election forecast, he gave 278 seats to Conservatives and 267 to Labour. Shortly after midnight, he was forecasting 272 seats for Conservatives and 271 for Labour. But when the sun rose in London on Friday, Conservatives had an expected 329 seats, against Labour's 233.

The fault, Silver claimed, was with the polling: "It’s becoming increasingly clear that pre-election polls underestimated how well Conservatives would do and overestimated Labour’s result," the statistician guru wrote in the wee hours of the morning. (He also overestimated the Liberal Democrats' result by roughly 20 seats).

But the problem went beyond the UK. "The World May Have A Polling Problem," Silver asserted. "In fact, it’s become harder to find an election in which the polls did all that well." Silver went on to cite four examples where the polls had failed to provide an accurate forecast of the election outcome: the Scottish independence referendum, the 2014 U.S. midterms, the Israeli legislative elections, and even the 2012 U.S. presidential election, where "Obama beat the final polling averages by about 3 points nationwide."

"[T]here are lots of reasons to worry about the state of the polling industry," Silver concluded, citing a range of factors. "There may be more difficult times ahead for the polling industry."~snip~

 Pollsters another casualty of stunning UK election

London (AFP) - The Conservative party's unexpected triumph in Britain's general election delivers a hefty blow not only to the routed Labour party, but also to the pollsters who predicted a dead heat.

"The pollsters need to go off and interrogate themselves and poll each other to find who has been telling porkies to whom," concluded Conservative London mayor Boris Johnson.

"It's extraordinary that 11 polls on the eve of the election should get it so wrong."~snip~

You gotta wonder why they got it so wrong,
My take is that polling companies, like a lot of government agencies and the media, have become infested with leftists and social justice warriors who's intent is to influence who gets into office by any means necessary.
Including conducting polls in such a way as to get predetermined results and then present them to the public. Since pollsters work so close with the liberal/commie biased media they have an incentive to keep the media happy cause they pay the bills.
In the mean time we get snookered into believing left-wing fantasies and accused of being on the wrong side of history.
If anything these results should be a wake up call to us about the validity of polls and force us to take the results of any poll with at least a grain of salt.

Bruce Jenner the 16.9 Million Viewer man

That's how many people watched the interview.

TV Ratings: Bruce Jenner Interview Nabs 16.9 Million Viewers

In the meantime Hillary Clinton, a declared candidate for president, is embroiled in a email server scandal along with the questionable practices of her foundation.
Even  the left feels like there should be answers forthcoming.

Time for an independent audit of the Clinton Foundation, says … Common Cause

It seems as though all anybody can talk about is Bruce Jenner and why is this more important than vetting possible candidates?

It shouldn't be but it is, the American public has become susceptible to just about any squirrel the media throws out there. Shame on them for doing it and shame on us for falling for it.
 

Brian Williams investigation not going so well.....

For Brian Williams.

So far, NBC News finds Brian Williams embellished at least 11 times

A months-long internal investigation of Brian Williams by NBC News has turned up 11 instances in which the anchorman publicly embellished details of his reporting exploits, according to a person familiar with details of the probe. 

NBC undertook the examination of Williams’ statement after he apologized in early February for saying on “NBC Nightly News” that a military helicopter in which he was traveling at the start of the Iraq War had been damaged by rocket fire. His account was challenged by soldiers who were on the flight, leading to a furor that prompted NBC to suspend Williams for six months without pay and to investigate other statements he’s made. 

The Iraq claim was one of the 11 suspect statements that a team of NBC News journalists has identified during the inquiry, said the individual, who asked not to be identified because he isn’t authorized to talk about an internal matter. 

The investigators, led by NBC News senior executive producer Richard Esposito, have also raised doubts about Williams’ comments about his experiences covering Israel’s military action against Hezbollah in Lebanon in 2006. In an interview with a student-run television station at Fairfield University in Connecticut in 2007, Williams said he saw rockets passing “just beneath” the Israel helicopter in which he was traveling. But Williams gave a less harrowing account of the same trip in an NBC News blog a year earlier.~snip~

Deception is the liberal/commie medias strategy through distortion,embellishment or omission. The unique thing about Brian Williams is that he got caught so now we have a window into the non-stop propaganda machine that is the "main stream media".
If Brian Williams is forced out the problem will not have been solved. The media needs to be purged of all the self-promoting leftists and honest journalists put in their places.
Yeah I know "honest journalist" is an oxymoron but I've heard that they exist.

"Historic First" is not enough this time

Now that America has indulged itself with with a "historic first" by electing the first non-white president is it time to for a twofer?

We've had almost two terms of essentially an none vetted community organizer who didn't have to prove that he was qualified to be the countries chief executive based on the fact that he was "the first" ever.
We've been paying the price ever since.


Hilary Clinton has a well publicized history that anyone can read about in spite of the Clinton's best efforts to sanitize it.

 Oh Hill no! Clinton’s stale presidential plan wrong for nation

All things being equal that history should be enough to make her campaign almost impossible but with the mainstream media being owned and beholden to the democrat party most of Hillary Clinton's short comings will be ignored in favor of their reporting that we have a chance at another "historic first".
Lets hope this time we can look past the rhetoric of the liberal media.

Social Justice vs "Journalism"

I don't think anybody can deny that it's been a rough week for "journalism". Between a ABC 57 reporter searching high and low fora business that would give them a sound bite for the purpose of stoking outrage to a CBS 6 employee reporting the GoFundMe page of the business targeted "just in case" to Rolling Stone retracting their story on UVA gang rape it hasn't been good for media credibility.

While some milquetoast and inadequate apologies have come forth no heads will roll, Everyone, so far, keeps their job.
Which simply means they were doing what these "news" businesses want,
Being Social Justice Warriors.(SJW)

Reporting facts and unbiased investigation are just so passe', the mission now is "make the world a better place" by slanting reports or ignoring any facts that don't fit into the world view of the SJW.
The media has put us on notice that they will present stories that conform to their world view ubtil we all agree with it, As opposed to just getting the facts and making up our own minds.

We are now in the era of forced group think whether we like it or not.

The Medias Lies by Omission

I really don't think it's any surprise to anyone that the liberal/commie democrat controlled main stream media deliberately lies or purposely deflects when it suits their,or the democrats, purposes.

But they are also masters at ignoring stories that don't fit into their chosen narrative and anything that doesn't fit the alleged "steamrolling" of homosexual" marriage on society pretty much gets the silent treatment.

Not News: Black Church Group Cuts Ties With PCUSA Over Same-Sex 'Marriage'; Membership Decline Continues

On March 18, Associated Press Religion Writer Rachel Zoll covered the decision by the Presbyterian Church USA (PCUSA) "recognizing gay marriage as Christian in the church constitution after decades of debate over same-sex relationships." A search at the AP's national site indicates that the wire service hasn't done a story on the U.S. congregation since then. This means that it has ignored a development going at least back to Friday indicating that there has been significant external blowback:

National Black Church Initiative, a Coalition Representing 15.7 Million African Americans, Cuts Ties with PCUSA
The National Black Church Initiative (NBCI), a coalition representing some 34,000 African American and Latino churches, 15.7 million African Americans, and 15 different denominations, announced that it will be cutting ties with the Presbyterian Church (USA) since the denomination decided to redefine marriage to include same-sex marriages.~snip~

The courts can rule same sex marriage as legal but people of real faith will never accept it. True Christians simply cannot.
That is why we're in the next step of totalitarianism. Because while rabid supporters believe they will benefit on some level by the elimination of Christianity in this country the real beneficiaries will be the socialist tyrants of the democrat party.

Who's really being played by the professional class/gender warfare agitators?

The Chick-fil-a Effect

I think one of the things most Americans despise is bullies.
A great example of that is the ABC57 reporter who asked gotcha questions to the owner of Memories Pizza and she naively answered truthfully.
The whole purpose of which was to stoke outrage (like it needed much stoking) over the Indiana RFRA bill.
Well the predictable shower of hate and threats descended on this small town business forcing it to close it's doors. Even though no one even asked or was turned away or refused service. All it takes is the hypothetical inference that it might/could happen.

Well in response a GoFundMe account was set up to help these unfortunate people through their financial loss.

Donations flood Indiana’s Memories Pizza after RFRA fallout

As of this post the current amount is $329,974 with over 11,000 people donating so far.
Weird thing is that yesterday when I was looking at the donations there were quite a few from people who stated their names and left notes of support. Now they're all anonymous as far as I can see so obviously the tolerance brigade has been taking names.

Lot of hate going out to the guy who started the GoFundMe page for Memories Pizza also.
Despite what the media and the pink mafia want you to believe there is a lot of support out there for this business owner who obviously didn't realize that she was being used by an unscrupulous media entity for their own self-aggrandizing purposes.

The liberal media are not our friends, they use people of faith and throw them away like used tissue in order to pander to the basest of our society.
Mainly homosexuals and democrats.

While helping these business owners out,and any others snared in the media,is a good first step the next one should be notifying the MSM that we're not going to stand for their duplicity any longer.  

Now it's Two Times the Hysteria

You do realize of course that for the liberal MSM there will be no further events in the world until the Arkansas and Indiana legislatures buckle under to their demands.

Defying Criticism, Arkansas Legislature Passes Bill on Religious Freedom

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Despite intensifying criticism from business leaders both within and outside of Arkansas, the state legislature on Tuesday passed its version of a measure billed as a religious freedom law, joining Indiana in a swirl of controversy that shows little sign of calming.
The Arkansas bill, passed when the General Assembly concurred on three amendments from the State Senate, now goes to the state’s Republican governor, Asa Hutchinson, who expressed reservations about an earlier bill but more recently said he would sign the measure if it “reaches my desk in similar form as to what has been passed in 20 other states.” The Arkansas Senate passed the measure last week.
While there were several attempts up until the last minute to add a clause to the bill that would explicitly bar discrimination of gays and lesbians, a measure that Gov. Mike Pence of Indiana pledged to push through his Legislature, the sponsors of the bill in the Arkansas General Assembly rejected such moves.
”If you start shaving out exemptions in laws, next thing you know, you’ll gut the law because everyone will want an exemption,” said State Senator Bart Hester, an Arkansas Republican and one of the bill’s lead supporters.
The attention turns to Governor Hutchinson, a moderate Republican who ran on a jobs platform and managed to extend a tailored form of Medicaid expansion in this Republican-controlled state. One of the state’s biggest employers, Walmart, called on the governor to veto the bill.~snip~

 Scandal after scandal with this administration and there's crickets from the liberal media yet when states reassert the 1st amendment they go bugshit.

Snyderman Quits NBC Under the Radar

Here's a little something that the commie MSM will down play because, you know, she's one of theirs.

Nancy Snyderman Will Leave NBC News In Wake of Ebola Incident

Dr. Nancy Snyderman, the veteran TV-news medical correspondent who was caught violating the terms of a self-imposed quarantine after being potentially exposed to the Ebola virus last year,  said she would step down from her job at NBC News.
“Covering the Ebola epidemic last fall in Liberia, and then becoming part of the story upon my return to the U.S., contributed to my decision that now is the time to return to academic medicine,” Snyderman said in a statement provided by NBC News.
Snyderman, NBC News’ chief medical correspondent, has been back on the air since December. She took a break from NBC News after she was spotted in New Jersey in October violating the terms of a self-imposed quarantine, a precaution she and other staffers took after an NBC News freelance cameraman contracting the disease while Snyderman and a team were covering its outbreak in Liberia.~snip~

Not that Dr. Nancy has that big an impact on much of anything but she is a minor example of the smug elitists that infest the liberal media

The Death of the Press

It seems that I can't post this picture enough because it symbolizes the state of the free press in this country.
See as how the media has been a wholly owned subsidiary of the democrat part for at least 3 decades now.
After white washing Bill Clinton's affairs during his time in the white house, and being surprised that the American public bought it, they've just become bolder with their deceptions.

Brian Williams gets caught in multiple lies so obviously some commie/liberal journalist has to find a "right wing" offender to equivocate the sin to.
So one of the least respected libtard publications floats a Bill Or'Reilly story. A few other leftist websites pick it up to pretty much a big yawn.
I'm not really a fan of O'Reilly's but his response was pretty good  and the 2 situations are not equivalent.
Williams was busted by troops who were there, Mother Jones relies on others working in the media to get their "gotcha" story. Seeing as how "journalists" have already shown themselves to be self serving liars there really isn't much legs to this.
Now we got the "Giuliani" scandal and judging by the last midterms I would say he's not the only one who wonders about Obama's loyalty to America.
A look at the last 6 years of his "presidency" would give most people pause to wonder the same things.

But don't worry, Obama's media apologists have his ass covered, like always.
Take a look at this thread at Twitchy.

The Federalist’s Sean Davis unloads on media’s Giuliani obsession; What about these scandals?

The saddest part of all this is the fact that we don't have to worry about government destroying a free press in this country. The leftist/commie infiltrators in the media are doing a good job of it already.

Kerry's James Taylor Diplomacy

I'll admit to taking a little time after the holidays to get over a nasty case of the flu. With some of the things going on around the world a steep fit of depression has also ruled my desire to comment on stuff.
But I can't hardly ignore this.
The depression comes from the fact that even after a terrible Islamic terrorist attack against a French magazine that is really no better than a cheap rag the usual suspects (the liberal/commie media) bend over backward to excuse it and blame everyone else but the terrorists.
Personally I think it's a shame that something as noble as free speech/expression/press ends up being symbolized by crappy publications but then again it's the principle of the thing.

However after snubbing the French and their unity march Obama and his chief diplomat decide to make up for it with James Taylor.
To think John Kerry actually ran for president, we dodged a bullet there.
The only question I have is which one is the bigger clueless ass Kerry for asking or Taylor agreeing to do it?

The Real "Faux" news

Examples of the difference between a news organization that simply reports the news as opposed to one that tries to shape it couldn't be more stark than these 2 breaking news alerts.

One simply states the fact while the other colors it between black and white.

People need to get a clue to the fact that they are being manipulated by the same media commie/leftists who cheer leaded for the occupy movement and failed.
They would like nothing better than to destabilize Washington,DC with violence and unrest in order to force the spineless politicians to fundamentally change things into their warped vision of what this country should be.
The traitorous left wing media has been agitating for this for decades.

WaPo : Dissent will not be tolerated

Saturday night live did an opening skit making light of Obama's executive action on immigration.
So in the tradition of repressive regimes the Washington Post rides to the rescue of the Obamessiah.

SNL skit suggests Obama’s immigration executive action is unconstitutional

The cold open got the basic explanation of what the difference is between a law and executive order right. And SNL also is correct that more Americans, even if they support comprehensive immigration reform, don't believe Obama should do it by fiat.
As to whether the executive action is unconstitutional? That's a matter of debate, of course. Some House Republicans think so and may add a complaint to a suit they are planning to file challenging Obama's executive actions on his health-care law.
One Obama backer who also supports a comprehensive overhaul of immigration laws says the action may be impeachable, as "by constitutional design, impeachment for 'treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors' is a political accusation."~snip~

Maybe I missed it but I don't remember WaPo coming along when SNL  criticized  GWB during one of their skits....but I could be wrong.

It was a funny bit but the real story here should be how, in this case, a supposed member of the press got their lapdog on when a comedy program makes light of the actions of dear leader.

Besides I don't know what they're worried about. I mean it's not like anyone has ever taken an SNL comedy skit seriously.

The Media and a River in Egypt

I gotta tell you that that the reason I haven't been blogging for the last few weeks is because I've been dumbstruck about some of the news I've been reading.
Especially when it comes to the introduction of various diseases pouring across our borders due to the deliberate malfeasance of Obama's government.  
You know, the one that thinks it's OK to use the IRS as a tool to suppress dissent from the opposition.

Thinking about it though I'm really not surprised because the precedent has already been set in the early stages of the AIDS "epidemic" where a communicable disease went from a health issue to "homophobia" in nothing flat. The hope being that those who were adamant about not having to change their lifestyle would allow it to permeate into society instead of just the slightly less than 2% of the population affected by it.
Funny thing is still after all these years the highest incidence of infections still persist in that less than 2% population.
But making AIDS a political issue as opposed  to a health issue was effective at least as far as finding treatments so people could live with the virus along with full bore research into a preventative vaccine or cure.

That's why discussions about the Entarovirus 68 or Ebola have gone from health issues to racism in short order.
No matter who it kills.

So I can't help thinking that allowing these immigrants in, legal or otherwise, and then dispensing them around the country is a deliberate and calculated move by the progressive left and why the liberal/commie media avoids the subject of where these diseases originate from.
The sole purpose is to galvanize the American public to demand that these ailments be cured in some way, or anything else to be done aside from closing our borders and restricting travel from areas infected with these health hazards.
It's the only way they feel they can force us to deal with diseases that have never been in this country before, to import them and then scare us into believing that the only thing that can save us is government funded research.

The Medias Will full Ignorance

So this happened today.

Imagine if everyone that asked for transparency in the #nfl @nfl Demanded that same #transparency in our #government #Benghazi #IRS
— elisabeth hasselbeck (@ehasselbeck) September 16, 2014

And it's a good point actually but left wing retards don't want anybody stating the obvious.
Progressive/leftists have been looking for something to hang on the NFL since that old chestnut about Super Bowl Sunday being the biggest day of domestic violence ever has been debunked over and over again.
Even the left leaning Snopes can't float that one anymore.

So now the left wing/commie media is trying to deflect attention away from the dismal policies of the Obama administration,on so many issues it's getting exhausting to list them all, by attempting to make the NFL some how responsible for stuff committed by individuals and under investigation where it should be.

Journalism has now become abut misdirection.
We deserve better than this.

Rush May Have Something Here

Back when I was in junior high school I took band class and the school scheduled us for a concert.
They sent out fliers and the gym was packed with families waiting to hear their little darlings play their instruments and take pictures.
But, before we were allowed to play the PTA decided to have a meeting before and elect new officers...which would have been alright except the fliers sent out said nothing about a PTA meeting before hand.
If they wanted community input they got plenty of it and it wasn't good.
They believed they could hold those families as a captive audience and they would endure an hour or so of dry PTA business.
They were wrong.
Rush Limbaugh's observation reminded me of incident.

RUSH LIMBAUGH: GUN, GAYS, DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AGENDAS WILL BE 'THE DEATH' OF NFL

On his Friday show, conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh reacted to the previous evening’s monologue from CBS announcer James Brown during the pregame show of the Pittsburgh Steelers-Baltimore Ravens football game.
In that monologue, Brown offered a number of suggestions for his viewing audience that would somehow stymy the spread of domestic violence. However, Limbaugh decried Brown using his CBS platform for such monologue, arguing that wasn’t the time nor the place for such a lecture.
Then he went on to say that combined with other hot-button issues surrounding the NFL, including the 2012 murder-suicide of Jovan Belcher and his girlfriend, the name of the Washington Redskins and the entry of Michael Sam, the first openly gay player drafted by an NFL team would be the end of the NFL.
“Sorry, this is not why I watch football,” Limbaugh said. “This is going to be the death of this sport. It is no longer an escape. It is no longer about great athletes. It is no longer about amazing athletic achievement and drama. It’s now become about guns and gays and domestic violence.~snip~

He's got a point I mean maybe I missed it but I don't recall hearing or reading about anyone saying that they hope Bob Costas gives us what for on gun violence or raving about ESPN and their coverage of Micheal Sam.
I've been a fan of the NFL long before the pregame and half time portions of the game became another outlet of progressive/leftist propaganda. It's not like there isn't tons of other venues out there ready to expose the leagues short comings or how all football fans are racist,violent,gun toting homophobes.
But to become a captive audience to being slurred just because I want to watch a game on TV to entertain myself for a few hours is a bit much.
We can either push back against it or turn it off and at this point I don't think it makes much difference to me either way.
