It was just one of those weekends for the mainstream media again. Is it any wonder why national trust in the press is at an all-time low? Journalists from those 1930s motion pictures seem better than reporters from today.
Let’s begin with everyone’s favorite cable network to poke fun at: the Counterfeit News Network.
At a rally hosted by former President Barack Obama for Florida Democratic gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum, CNN reporter Randi Kaye “randomly” interviewed an attendee and asked her, “Will Barack Obama’s presence in this race and here today influence your vote?”
The woman responded: “Uh, I believe that it will.”
Who was this woman? Francis Gillum, the candidate’s son.
“We picked her randomly out of the crowd, but at the end of our interview when I finally asked her name it sounded strangely familiar,” Kaye said.
How come CNN always happens to interview a “random” person who turns out to be a lefty. On Election Night, when protests broke out in Chicago, a CNN reporter interviewed a “random” demonstrator who turned out to be a former cameraman for the company.
Let’s take a look at another CNN blunder.
On Saturday, the former news network reported that a New York City synagogue was vandalized with anti-Semitic messages.
CNN’s Fredricka Whitfield said:
“And a Brooklyn man has been arrested and charged with a hate crime for anti-Semitic messages found in a New York synagogue on Thursday. James Polite is also charged with criminal mischief and making graffiti. Police say the messages were on four floors of the Union Temple Of Brooklyn. Mayor Bill de Blasio calls the incident deeply disturbing to all New Yorkers.”
It turns out that the propaganda outfit omitted some key facts:
– The alleged assailant was a Democratic activist.
– He volunteered on Obama’s presidential campaign.
– He was a former City Hall intern who fought hate crimes.
– Black.
Now, imagine if the culprit was a Republican activist, volunteered on President Donald Trump’s campaign, and white. CNN would plaster this all over the screen 24/7, claiming that the GOP has an anti-Semitic problem.
The final example is MSNBC, which seems to hate disabled seniors.
James Berrie, a disabled Air Force veteran who suffers from multiple sclerosis, wrote on Facebook that an MSNBC news crew parked in a handicap parking spot at a Houston polling site.
He wrote:
“Went to vote, and found this waiting for us. The only van accessible spot and they’re filming in it. We asked them to move, pointed out how it was wrong, then went to vote, because it takes time to load up. But came out and still there. Not even packing up, still getting ready for their shot.
They claimed they had a live shot, so Sarah walked into the shot. They cut the feed and got pissed. Fortunately other people joined in, plus firefighters who where there for Prop B. We finally left once their van was loaded. But there were plenty of witnesses and pictures/video taken by others.
This is suppression. If I couldn’t park I couldn’t vote. Their van had no handicap placards. And this happens all the time. Handicap spots are not loading zones for gear and equipment. Figure something else out. Especially at a public event where people are going to need the spots. This is not ok, and the station needs to be made aware. All of them.
EDIT: This is a very big election this year. News will be out in force, now and until the general. The media needs to be aware. Call them out if you see this.”
The state of journalism in 2018 in a nut shell: Fake news and entitlement.
