The Enemy of the People Thread

This could be a full-time job. How about CNN's bullshit lie, claiming that Eric Trump Jr. was given access to the Wikileaks story about the (D)umbo e-mails before they were released to the public.

CNN on Friday afternoon corrected an exclusive report that said candidate Donald Trump and his son Donald Trump Jr. had received an email providing a web address and decryption key allowing them to access hacked documents from WikiLeaks before such documents were publicly available.

When first published Friday morning, the story, written by senior congressional correspondent Manu Raju and politics reporter Jeremy Herb, said the email was sent to the Trumps on September 4, 2016. It was corrected to say that the email was actually sent on September 14, one day after WikiLeaks made the documents public.

"CNN's initial reporting of the date on an email sent to members of the Trump campaign about Wikileaks documents, which was confirmed by two sources to CNN, was incorrect," CNN said in a statement. "We have updated our story to include the correct date, and present the proper context for the timing of email."

In its updated story, CNN acknowledged, "The new information indicates that the communication is less significant than CNN initially reported."

https://money.cnn.com/2017/12/08/media/cnn-correction-email-story/index.html

"Less significant"? You stupid ******* morons, your own stupidity and inability to read a calendar means that the "story" had NO ******* significance.

CNN can burn in hell.
 
More on the always honest NY Times. Not covering a story for political gain.

New York Times Reporter Sat on Liz Warren’s Pregnancy-Firing Lie Story for Months

In October 2019, Jack Crowe and Tobias Hoonhout at National Review discovered a reporter who now works for The New York Times sat on public records which he obtained six months earlier, in April 2019, that cut against Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s continuous claim in her campaign stump speeches that she was dismissed from a teaching job for being visibly pregnant.

The National Review reported:

Reid Epstein, who was then working for The Wall Street Journal, filed an open-records request with the Riverdale Board of Education on April 2 seeking “to inspect or obtain” copies of public records relating to Warren’s time teaching at Riverdale during the 1970-1971 school year. In response to his request, Epstein received school-board minutes on April 10 that challenge Warren’s story, according to documents obtained by National Review through the New Jersey Open Records Act.

Epstein, who moved to the Times on April 19, never broke the story. Reached for comment, a Times spokeswoman said that the “records were inconclusive” and the potential story required further sourcing.

The Washington Free Beacon also obtained the school-board minutes, and reported that they demonstrated the Riverdale Board of Education had approved a second-year teaching contract for pregnant Elizabeth Warren in April 1971. Rather than accepting the Board’s offer of continued employment, Warren chose to tender her resignation, which was “accepted with regret.”

One day after the Free Beacon reported on the apparent discrepancy, the Times published an article by Thomas Kaplan that disclosed Epstein had “contributed reporting from Washington.” It carried this weird headline: “Elizabeth Warren Details Her Account of Losing Teaching Job Because of Pregnancy, Ms. Warren said she had grown more comfortable talking about her experience over the years, explaining why her description of the 1971 episode in her stump speeches differs from how she discussed it in the past.”
 
Ms. Warren said she had grown more comfortable talking about her experience over the years, explaining why her description of the 1971 episode in her stump speeches differs from how she discussed it in the past.”

LOL. Sounds like something a 5 year old might say when caught in a lie.
 
Not lies, per se, but this shows how nefariously the media can pursue and twist a story to make one look bad. There was nothing there, but they tried incessantly to make it appear there was for the sole purpose of doing damage.

Over and Over Again: Using Stolen Tax Records to Impugn Trump (and the rest of the media trumpets their agenda)

■ In October 2016 the Times rolled out a story on Trump’s tax returns, they may have been obtained and published illegally. This came just weeks after the top editor at the paper, Dean Baquet, said he would risk jail time to obtain them. At that time NBC’s Kate Snow dutifully reported: “Good evening. It happened on the first day of October, what may well be the kind of October surprise that shakes up this presidential race. While Donald Trump has refused to make his tax returns public, citing an ongoing audit by the IRS, someone mailed The New York Times several pages of Trump’s 1995 tax records. Those documents revealed the candidate reported a massive loss and suggest, according to experts, he may legally have not paid any income tax for years. Democrats jumped on the news and the Trump campaign went on defense today.”

■ In October 2018 NBC’s Kristen Welker relayed an “explosive report by The New York Times”: “The Times obtained tens of thousands of pages of financial records, documents NBC News has not had the opportunity to independently review. It found that Mr. Trump and his father built their fortune by engaging in a, quote, ‘pattern of deception and obfuscation,’ saying, ‘Much of this money came to Mr. Trump because he helped his parents dodge taxes. He and his siblings set up a sham corporation to disguise millions of dollars in gifts from their parents.’”

■ In May 2019, NBC Nightly News anchor Lester Holt highlighted another Times tax bombshell: “And President Trump is also firing back this evening after the New York Times claimed to have gotten a hold of his secret tax information showing he lost more than a billion dollars in the 1980s and ’90s. With more on that we turn to NBC’s Hallie Jackson. Correspondent Hallie Jackson: “The Times reporting in his core businesses largely casinos, hotels and retail space he lost more than a billion dollars between 1985 and 1994, saying, ‘year after year, Mr. Trump appears to have lost more money than nearly any other individual American taxpayer.’ The paper adds he didn’t pay income taxes for eight of those ten years.”

■ In September 2020, ABC’s Tom Llamas hyped: “We begin tonight with breaking news, that bombshell headline late today. The New York Times obtaining information on President Trump’s tax returns. The Times reporting the President paid just $750 in taxes in 2016 and again in his first year in office. In 10 out of the 15 years before that, he reportedly paid no taxes at all because he reported losing more money than he made.”

Fox News’ Howard Kurtz pointed out why this Trump tax story always fizzled-out for the paper: “Even the Times doesn’t claim that Trump broke any laws. He took advantage of a labyrinth of legal deductions that are available to people who traffic in real estate and investments...that’s the system approved by Congress. Who wants to pay more taxes than they have to? Amazon paid no federal income taxes for three years, and it’s got plenty of company.”
 
CNN lying when claiming that Comey would testify he did not tell Trump he was not the subject of investigation.

CNN has corrected a Tuesday report after the release of former FBI Director James Comey's opening statement for his Thursday testimony in front of the Senate Intelligence Committee contradicted the report's sources.

The CNN report said Comey was expected to dispute President Trump's claims that Comey said he was not under investigation on multiple occasions. The report, titled “Comey expected to refute Trump," was based on unnamed sources and said Comey's conversations with the president "were much more nuanced," and that Trump drew the wrong conclusion.


Comey's opening statement did, however, mention asserting that Trump was not under investigation. "Prior to the January 6 meeting, I discussed with the FBI’s leadership team whether I should be prepared to assure President-Elect Trump that we were not investigating him personally," wrote Comey. "That was true; we did not have an open counter-intelligence case on him."

Lying liars telling lies about their lies.
 
New York Lying Liars lying when claiming Trump was "suppressing" a global warm ... ehhh, global heat ... I mean, dramatic climate change report:

The New York Times issued a correction Tuesday for publishing a climate report it claimed a scientist “leaked” to the paper so the Trump Administration couldn’t bury it. The report was actually available for about eight months the addendum stated.

https://www.thewrap.com/ny-times-fo...ion-for-trump-slamming-climate-change-report/

How dare Trump try to bury a story that was available for eight months!! How DARE he! Can you imagine the plight our nation faces if the press actively boot-licked one side and willingly, overtly suppressed, hid and lied about credible news that reflected badly on their puppet masters??
 
Are you talking about election fraud, the Democrat Party, or huge overreaching government operating outside the limits of the Constitution? Or are you talking about all three?
I think you need to add the Republican party to your list. Election issues and huge guvmint have been problems for decades.

*******.... A.... spot.....on
 
Geesh they must think our National Gaurd troops in the capitol are an enemy as well. They're vetting all 25,000 of them, because now they fear an insider attack...haha. That's what happens when 100 million people think you're bullshit.

The curtains are being pulled back. I think I understand their fear.
 
what i want to know is - why does the media lie? i know some good people who are still in the media - good, honest people - and they get offended when the people in their professions are called liars. I can understand that, as I also see that this paintbrush isnt to encompass all media - just the political sphere of the media.

Supe, I believe others have answered the question and those you know shouldn't be offended if most of the media is no longer news, but opinions.
 
It's almost as if the legacy media is the propaganda arm of the DNC or something.

We all know that they are the propaganda arm of the Left. What's frustrating is Liberals, when confronted with this, scream like lemmings in unison - "No the media is not!! They are fair and tell the truth!" For ***** sake people, just ******* admit it for once.

I forget what it was called, someone help me. Some years back the "Journalists Memo" or something (what was it called) was discovered, and several members of different networks admitted to its existence. This was a daily memo created by the DNC that included all of the talking points that they would like to cover.

You will see (if your eyes are open) how every Leftist network sings in unison from the same script, almost mirror images of one another saying exactly the same stuff.

It's not coincidence and it's not uncanny, it is quite literally scripted.
 
Trump should have had CNN's broadcasting license yanked
 
Why is there not one mainstream media outlet investigating the Hunter Biden story? The bias is so obvious it's ridiculous. If that had been a Trump kid it would be splashed across every front page and headline news on CNN 24/7 every day of the week. Now if it's mentioned at all they talk about it like it was all made up, even though his own texts and emails confirm it. They aren't even looking into it. They don't want to know.

Follow the money.
 
remember when Trump was calling for herd immunity? Pepperidge Farms does. Fauci doesn't. Neither does the MSM.

Fauci predicts people can go back to singing in church in the fall
By HBTV Business Editor -January 19, 202107


Dr. Anthony Fauci predicted Monday that church services by mid-fall should resemble pre-coronavirus worship.
That projection depends on at least 70% to 85% of the population getting vaccinated.
Churches have been the sites of super-spreader events, since the virus spreads easily indoors when people are speaking loudly or singing in close quarters.
Visit Business Insider’s homepage for more stories.
Dr. Anthony Fauci predicts church services — with hugging, praising, and music-making — will be able to resume safely in mid-fall if the US vaccinates people “appropriately, effectively, and efficiently.”

Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, made the projection Monday during the Choose Healthy Life Black Clergy Conclave, an online convening of more than 100 Black clergy, leading public-health officials, and corporate and scientific leaders who are working to boost COVID-19 testing and other resources in the Black community. It was led by the Revs. Al Sharpton and Calvin Butts.

When Fauci took the virtual stage, he answered questions from Black clergy around the country. The question about church services came from the Rev. John Vaughn, who was representing Sen.-elect Raphael Warnock, who is a pastor at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta.

“When can we expect to go back to church, when we’ll be able to sing, we’ll be able to do wind instruments?” he asked.

Fauci said the timeline largely depended on how quickly the US could get “the overwhelming proportion of our population,” meaning at least 70% to 85%, vaccinated.
 
The big lie, repeated ad nauseum until now most people believe the lie: Trump called white supremacists "good people." Bullshit. Lie. False. Phony. Never happened. Bogus.

QUESTION: Do you think that the -- what you call the alt-left is the same as neo-Nazis?

TRUMP: Those people -- all of those people -- excuse me. I’ve condemned neo-Nazis. I’ve condemned many different groups. But not all of those people were neo-Nazis, believe me. Not all of those people were white supremacists, by any stretch. Those people were also there because they wanted to protest the taking down of a statue, Robert E. Lee. So -- excuse me. And you take a look at some of the groups and you see -- and you’d know it if you were honest reporters, which in many cases you’re not, but many of those people were there to protest the taking down of the statue of Robert E. Lee. So this week it’s Robert E. Lee. I noticed that Stonewall Jackson’s coming down. I wonder, is it George Washington next week? And is it Thomas Jefferson the week after? You know, you all -- you really do have to ask yourself, where does it stop? But they were there to protest -- excuse me. You take a look, the night before, they were there to protest the taking down of the statue of Robert E. Lee. Infrastructure question, go ahead.

TRUMP: Excuse me, excuse me. (inaudible) themselves (inaudible) and you have some very bad people in that group. But you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides. You had people in that group -- excuse me, excuse me -- I saw the same pictures as you did. You had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down of, to them, a very, very important statue and the renaming of a park from Robert E. Lee to another name.

(CROSSTALK)

QUESTION: George Washington and Robert E. Lee are not the same (inaudible)…

(CROSSTALK)

TRUMP: George Washington was a slave owner. Was George Washington a slave owner? So, will George Washington now lose his status? Are we going to take down -- excuse me -- are we going to take down -- are we going to take down statues to George Washington?

(CROSSTALK)

TRUMP: How about Thomas Jefferson? What do you think of Thomas Jefferson? You like him?

(CROSSTALK)

TRUMP: OK. Good. Are we going to take down the statue? Because he was a major slave owner. Now, are we going to take down his statue? So you know what? It’s fine. You’re changing history. You’re changing culture. And you had people, and I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally. But you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists. OK? And the press has treated them absolutely unfairly. Now, in the other group also, you had some fine people, but you also had troublemakers and you see them come with the black outfits and with the helmets and with the baseball bats. You’ve got -- you had a lot of bad -- you had a lot of bad people in the other group…

https://www.latimes.com/politics/la-na-pol-trump-charlottesville-transcript-20170815-story.html

What this shows is Trump was 100% correct, called what was happening, was completely vindicated in calling Antifa "bad people," and the press was as usual 100% wrong in every respect.
