It has become well established that the Corporate Media, as it exists today, no longer focuses on objective “reporting”, but serves solely as a high priced conduit for editorializing a particular point of view or Agenda.  Even the “News” pages are mere fig leaves for proselytizing the mantra that is au courant.

A recent example of this egregious behavior is in the rush by the Progressive Left to politicize the shooting in Aurora, CO as the work of the “Tea Party”.  Disingenuously,   Brian Ross of ABC News “reported” (/sarc/) that the alleged shooter was a “Tea Party” member, and nationally “outed” on live camera a local resident and Tea Party activist.

Except that Brian Ross was wrong.  Very, very wrong.  And if he knew – he didn’t care – he rushed to live camera to breathlessly report what was an acute error.  And hopefully – a very expensive one for ABC News.

There is no “correction“, no “mea culpa” that can help you recover from that.  Once again, the Corporate Media was unmasked as not a “News” agency, but as a Propaganda Outlet.

Want to know why Newsweek was sold for a $1?  Why Microsoft disentangled itself from the failing MSNBC franchise?  Why the head of the flailing CNN stepped down?  Why do many local convenience stores no longer even stock the “newspapers”? (more…)

If you give birth to a child, give him food at times, or not; do the minimum required to get by without having yourself exposed to the Department Of Children and Family Services; and essentially, as he grows, do nothing with that child except to dispatch him to a place where you are not bothered by that child….. This is the outcome.

Wash.Rinse.Repeat.

There are hundreds of thousands, perhaps MILLIONS of these children now in various stages of youth and young adulthood.   Here is a summary of their recent 3 month activity:

Walking – Punched out dead  —–      Shot Walking   —–   Delivering Pizza Stabbed 50 x

Shot Jogging while white   —-    Shot Delivering Pizza    —   Beaten Swimming while white

Delivering Chicken Wings   —–   Knock out Game       ——-   Walking While White

Walking White  Knock out ——-  Stabbed while shopping — 76 YOA HomeInvasion/Rape

They show up on page 5 or 6 of the newspaper during their capture for playing the “Knock Out Game”, or shooting people for “Thrill Kills”, or if people accidentally talk to them they jump out of the car and shoot.    They rape little girls during their adolescence, smash bricks in the faces of others as teens, enjoy lighting people on fire while they are alive, and perhaps order a pizza or chinese food to shoot the delivery man for a U-Tube video.  Then you have the random “cap-a-joggers-ass” for jogging while white, or smash faces with bricks for more giggles.   They develop alternate monikers like No-Limit-Nigga, and if you exit your vehicle during your drive time amid their presence you are requesting a beating.

If you describe the grown up version of the pre-schooler in the above video honestly you are labeled a racist.   But if put your head down and ignore you risk becoming a victim.  A tenuous choice. (more…)

Constitutionally hypocritical gay-progs plan to disrupt Chick-fil-A restaurants by taking over the restaurants and kissing, making out, and slobbering all over each other to punish the business and disgust the patrons while teaching them some kind of lesson in forced tolerance….. or, something.

I.Hate.Progs.   All of them.   Constitutionally incapable of seeing how insufferably stupid it is to demand people respect their views, while simultaneously refusing to accept anyone who does not agree with their personal lifestyle. 

I hope all the non-prog gay people can fire back a little at the way this is being carried out.   If you stay silent you are no better than the “moderate” muslims watching the beheading.  Hopefully Rahm Emanuel (Chicago Mayor) and Thomas Menino (Boston Mayor) double down on the illegal banning of private enterprise based on political ideology.   The folks at Chick-fil-A can become quite rich through the wrath of litigation.   And I hope they do. 

(CBS News) — Gay rights group Equality Illinois is asking gay and lesbian couples to go to their local Chick-Fil-A restaurant next Friday for a “kiss-in” campaign, which the group is promoting along with other gay rights organizations nationwide, reports CBS affiliate WBBM in Chicago. (more…)

Five years ago (2007) when John Stossel worked for ABC 20/20 he produced this news story about the TRUTH of gun control and how the anti-gun alliances are intentionally deceptive. The statistics do not lie.

On Friday’s 20/20, ABC anchor John Stossel discussed the self-defensive benefits of gun ownership, debunking the myth that “gun control reduces crime.” The segment aired during 20/20’s recurring series, “Myths, Lies & Downright Stupidity,” based on Stossel’s book of the same title. Citing the recent Federal Appeals Court for DC ruling overturning Washington, D.C.’s ban on gun ownership, Stossel talked to the pro-gun plaintiff in the case, Tom Palmer, and pointed out that the murder rate in D.C. increased after the city’s gun ban: “Since Washington’s gun law passed, the murder rate actually increased, even while America’s murder rate dropped. It’s because guns can also save lives, says Palmer, as one saved his years ago in California.”

Welfare recipients are now getting upgrades to smartphones (Assurance Phones) at taxpayer expense – That large Federal tax on your cell phone bill (which keeps increasing) is now being used to give free cell phones and free cell phone service to people on welfare.   Apparently smartphones, along with internet access are considered a basic civil right under the Obama administration.

Introducing the latest version of the Assurance Wireless Government Welfare Phone – The new Obama phone:

The “knock out” game.  Thrill Killings.  Flash Mobs.   Thug Idolitry.  Gang Culture.  Drug use.  Pre-teen tattoos….  what is to be expected?

Baby Tray

MISSISSIPPI – Disturbing video from a Mississippi day care center shows a 9-year-old boy  beating several much younger children, including an 11-month-old, whom he  punches and bites.

The frightening footage, taken at the Kiddie City Child Care Center in  Vicksburg, shows the bully attacking the baby and then patting the boy on the  back as it cries and adults come in to check on them. Throughout the video, the  child can be seen waiting until day care workers aren’t looking to launch  another attack. (more…)

Anyone who has studied the history of totalitarian marxist government will tell you one of the first goals of a corrupt manipulative central government is to control the media.  But, few would actually believe it occurs in modern political discourse.   Unfortunately, they would be wrong; not only does it happen, but control is the key element to keeping the freedom reduction agenda hidden from the masses.

One only has to look at Poland for a great example of how a looming government can keep the people believing their concerns are in the minority – until a few brave souls stand up and say “hey, wait a minute, there are more of us than them”….  

(New York Times)  They are sent by e-mail from the Obama headquarters in Chicago to reporters who have interviewed campaign officials under one major condition: the press office has veto power over what statements can be quoted and attributed by name.

Most reporters, desperate to pick the brains of the president’s top strategists, grudgingly agree. After the interviews, they review their notes, check their tape recorders and send in the juiciest sound bites for review.

The verdict from the campaign — an operation that prides itself on staying consistently on script — is often no, Barack Obama does not approve this message.

The push and pull over what is on the record is one of journalism’s perennial battles. But those negotiations typically took place case by case, free from the red pens of press minders. Now, with a millisecond Twitter news cycle and an unforgiving, gaffe-obsessed media culture, politicians and their advisers are routinely demanding that reporters allow them final editing power over any published quotations.

You just can’t make this stuff up folks.  Just yesterday Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel backed a ban on Chick-fil-A restaurants because their traditional family “values are not Chicago values” stated Emanuel.   Today Emanuel “welcomes” roving bands of Louis Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam foot soldiers called the “Fruit of Islam” to patrol the streets in an effort to stop crime and prevent black Chicagoans from murdering each other.  

Because, well, he wants tourists to visit and stuff…

CHICAGO – Ignoring Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan’s history of anti-Semitic remarks, Mayor Rahm Emanuel on Wednesday welcomed the army of men dispatched to the streets by Farrakhan to stop the violence in Chicago neighborhoods.

Ald. Debra Silverstein (50th), an Orthodox Jew, has said it’s good that Farrakhan is “helping” in the fight against crime, “but it doesn’t eradicate the comments that he’s made about the Jewish community.”

Emanuel offered no such caveat. Although Farrakhan has a history of making anti-Semitic statements, Chicago’s first Jewish mayor has no interest in revisiting that controversy.

He’s more concerned about reducing a 40 percent surge in Chicago homicides that’s become a media obsession and threatens to undermine his efforts to market Chicago to international tourists. (more…)

Huma Abedin has specific “ties” to the Muslim Brotherhood, this is not in dispute; it is a fact.   Huma’s Egyptian mother is an open member of the Muslim Sisterhood.   So the answer from DHS Secretary Napolitano is flat-out “false”, or in real words, “a lie”.   The issue is NOT if she has ties, that is self-evident, the issue is whether the actual ties have “influence” over her. 

Huma Abedin’s mother, Saleha, who is a member  of the Muslim Brotherhood’s female division (the “Muslim Sisterhood”),  is a major figure in not one but two Union for Good components. The  first is the International Islamic Council for Dawa and Relief (IICDR).  It is banned in Israel for supporting Hamas under the auspices of the  Union for Good. Then there’s the International Islamic Committee for  Woman and Child (IICWC) — an organization that Dr. Saleha Abedin has  long headed. Dr. Abedin’s IICWC describes itself as part of the IICDR.  And wouldn’t you know it, the IICWC charter was written by none other than, wait for it, Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, the Muslim Brotherhood’s chief sharia jurist, in conjunction with several self-proclaimed members of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Prog-logic is always based on various degrees of obfuscation, disingenuous hair-splitting and semantics.  (See Bill Clinton “it depends on what your definition of “is” is…. )  In Napolitano’s answers to the faux-questioning from Sheila Jackson Lee you find all of these aspects propagated to create specifically worded distractions.

Alarming to say the least.   However, the easiest way to deconstruct the falsehoods amid trained and comfortable liars are with additional questions, which -by the way- are always missed.   Such a question like:  “So Abedin’s mother is not then a member of the Muslim Sisterhood”?   This type of follow-up question always brings out the liar in the room.

A liar is bound by their connective ideology to continue shaping, molding and tweaking their response out of a necessary aim toward deflection.   The truth teller does not hold the same capacity to change their response with any adjustment.  Someone telling the truth has to repeat the same response over and over, because the truth does not change, it exists without variation, and does not have an agenda in delivery.

WASHINGTON DC – During a hearing Wednesday with the House Homeland Security Committee, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) asked Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano if DHS had discovered any links between a high-ranking official in the State Department and the Muslim Brotherhood.

The question was a nod to a letter authored by Rep. Michele Bachmann and signed by five House Republicans that was sent to the State Department. (more…)

WASHINGTON – Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano told lawmakers on Wednesday that a member of an Egyptian militant group labeled by the United States as a terrorist organization was vetted by three U.S. agencies before visiting the White House.

Napolitano said the State Department, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Secret Service all thoroughly examined the Egyptian man, Hani Nour Eldin, before his visit to Washington D.C. where he met with members of Congress and senior administration officials.

Eldin is a member of the Gama’a al-Islamiyya, or Islamic Group, which has been designated by the State Department as a foreign terrorist organization. But Eldin was also recently elected as a member of Egypt’s parliament in the Islamic Group’s political offshoot, the Building and Development Party. (more…)
