CNN Democrat: Civil Disobedience Is Legal!
On CNN This Morning, Democrat Joel Rubin, a former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State, claims that "civil disobedience is legal." By definition, civil "disobedience" is the breaking of law, and the willingness to accept the consequences thereof, ostensibly for a higher moral purpose.
Morning Nets Again Hurl Anti-ICE Slop, Take Protesters at Their Word
Wednesday marked another day of tiresome narratives across the broadcast networks and their flagship morning newscasts that smeared Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) agents, fixating on the “clashes intensifying” and “escalating” without explaining why federal law enforcement had deployed tear gas and other deterrents. Fireworks? Nevermind! Hitting vehicles? Not a concern!
Renee Good Endangered Her Life — and Yours
Americans who remember how an incident in Minneapolis six years ago plunged the whole country into a summer of rioting — then years of elevated criminal violence — should think carefully about where the protests over the death of Renee Good are leading. Like the killing of George Floyd, Good’s tragedy is being exploited for a political purpose, with the radical activists who then called for…
‘Obnoxious! Horrible!’ The View Melts Down Over Trump Finger Flip
Wednesday’s edition of The View featured an exercise in being unable to temper expectations to confirm with the reality and over reacting for political points. America was almost a full year into President Trump’s second term in office and the ABC co-hosts were still stuck in 2016 in terms of gripes about Trump - the man who’s crassness helped get him elected - being ‘unpresidential…
Gutfeld & Watters RIP Tarlov's Narrative On ICE Protests On 'The Five'
It's been almost a full week since the shooting involving an ICE agent in Minneapolis, and the story shows no signs of going away. Also here to stay for the foreseeable future is the left wing media narrative that ICE is breaking the law, and the protesters that confront ICE agents with automobiles, bottles, rocks and more, are just innocent, average law abiding, concerned citizens looking to…
PolitiFact: Renee Good's No 'Domestic Terrorist,' Just Jan. 6 Rioters
The left-wingers at PolitiFact used the breaking news of Renee Good's death for several "fact checkers" defending her activism and attacking Trump. When Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem described Good as a "domestic terrorist," many liberal-media operatives objected, including those "independent fact-checkers."
Scarborough Compares ICE To The Soviet Union And Putin
On Wednesday’s Morning Joe, MS NOW’s Joe Scarborough continued his network’s inglorious habit of portraying ICE as some sort of cartoon villain. In this case, Scarborough compared ICE to both the Soviet Union and today’s Russia under Vladimir Putin while talking beside footage of an operation at a gas station that he ignored the context of.
Elite, Liberal Journos GO BALLISTIC Over Dokoupil’s Trump Interview
It was all-but a foregone conclusion that elite, liberal journalists on the “media” beat would be throwing a collective tizzy Tuesday over CBS Evening News anchor Tony Dokoupil scoring an interview with President Trump. Over nearly 13 minutes, the two discussed the death of Renee Good, grocery prices immigration operations, Iran, and even the role of automation in working-class jobs…
NBC’s Laura Jarrett Lectures SCOTUS Conservatives on Trans Sports Bans
NBC was the lone network evening newscast to report on the hearing on transgender bans in school sports before the United States Supreme Court. The brief report, however, quickly devolved into a lecture from legal correspondent Laura Jarrett lamenting conservatives’ position on continued attempts to erase women in sports.
MS NOW's Katy Tur Frets ICE Recruiting People Who 'Like Guns'
While discussing the shooting of left-wing activist Renee Good as she almost ran over an ICE agent in Minneapolis last week, MS NOW host Katy Tur worried on her Friday show that DHS recruiting Americans who "like guns" and prof wrestling contributes to violent actions by ICE.
Colbert, Kimmel Claim DOJ Is 'Investigating The Victims' In Minnesota
CBS’s host of The Late Show, Stephen Colbert, and ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel lamented that the Justice Department is “investigating the victims” of the Minneapolis shooting involving Renee Good and ICE agent Jonathan Ross. However, neither host provided their audience with the key detail that Good’s wife, Rebecca, told her to “drive, baby, drive” after Good herself was told to get out of the…
Column: Shameless Ilhan Omar Accuses Trump of Wasting Taxpayer Dollars
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) is in a very special category: black, Muslim, and a refugee from Somalia. It’s a triple-banger. So when Omar submits herself to television interviews from liberal networks, she knows she can say inflammatory things and not be seriously challenged.
The ‘Media Journalism’ Clerisy Will HATE The Trump-Dokoupil Interview
The dust has settled on the second Trump interview of the Bari Weiss Era at CBS News. It is another positive step in the right direction, away from the usual talking point-laden gotchafests. For the chattering classes, they will most certainly hate it and hysterically point to it as further proof of Trump’s supposed erosion of the hallowed norms of the journalistic profession.
