Headlines From the Media, and Other Foolishness: Part II

By Rich Kozlovich

In part one I discussed what's commonly called the supermarket tabloid media, sensationalist journalism, scandal sheets, etc..  Filled with gossip, innuendo, speculation and accusation without foundation, not to mention outright lies.  As far as I can tell, all that was killed off by the internet, at least in that form.  But never fear.  Nature hates a vacuum, and so does "journalism", and I use that definition loosely. 

Now we have all that missing scandal, gossip, innuendo, speculation, accusation without foundation and outright lies being embraced by "regular media journalists", and I'm still using that definition loosely, and what they promote isn't called journalism.  It' called "confusion". 

The "confusion" promoted and exhibited by the media is amazing. First we have a male athlete who claims to be a woman, who still has all his male equipment by the way, competing against actual women and handily beating them.  We also see the media, academia, and leftists all over the nation calling him her, and lauding his achievements as a great breakthrough in human endeavor.   Imagine that!

But, according to these leftists, it's the rest of the nation who thinks this is nuts are the ones who are confused.  Really?  But, worse yet, anyone that doesn't support this is a hater.  The left, who hates everything.  The left is virtually consumed with hate, embraces a laundry list of unending double standards and vile justifications for their violence and insanity.  It has now assumed divine authority to decide who the haters are.  And that's anyone who disagrees with their thorough disagreeable positions and actions. Imagine that!

Writers are now actually publishing articles such as, how to tell if you are a woman.  Gender is now a huge mixed bag, because apparently the left has identified 112 genders with 71 sub gender categories.  And it's the rest of the nation that's confused?   It's not the media and the left that's confused mind you, it's the nation that's confused!  Equity, including gender equity, is now the foundation for everything, including issues regarding bail.  Biden releases 'gender equity' plan that calls for eliminating cash bail.  Imagine that!

We see the media constantly yapping about hate, but who are the haters and the spewers of hate:   He 'Can Choke': UCLA Race and Equity Director Wished for Clarence Thomas' Death.  His credibility?  UCLA Race and Equity Director Who Said Clarence Thomas 'Can Choke' Fabricated a Racial Incident with Police, and this isn't the only incident of outrageous race baiting by this totally contemptible man.  Or how about that paragon of leftist self righteous virtue the ACLU, when an, ACLU board member calls for Trump supporters to be shot 'before election day. 

The American Civil Liberties Union has descended to the level of self-parody. Of course, the civil liberty guaranteed by the Second Amendment has never existed in its view, but in the past it occasionally defended free speech for people with whom its liberal membership disagreed. Rarely have its officials called for murderous totalitarianism (although, in fairness, the organization was originally founded to defend the rights of American communists who supported the murderous totalitarianism of Joseph Stalin). Actual political murder of opponents in America was never advocated by its officials. Until now. Derek Hunter of the Daily Caller reports........

When was the last time you saw a conservative act in such a way and say such things?  

In fact, you almost never see any conservative discussing this idea of haters.  It's the left that spews out claims of hate, all the while claiming conservatives hate this and hate that, while in reality, mostly these claims are nothing but accusations to divide the nation using our own values against us.  More importantly, it's about silencing rational thought against their schemes dealing with race, gender, equity, diversity and other assorted assaults against reality.  When in reality, it's the left who spews out actual hate and acts on it.  Imagine that!

MasterCard has decided you shouldn't have the right to decide how much you wish to buy because it might impact .....watch out now.....here it comes......Global Warming!  So, it appears they're going to become kind of an unpaid sub-contractor for the United Nations and monitor cardholders' carbon footprint, and if they decide you're buying too much.... cap your purchases.  

Now, I just gotta ask.  Does anyone besides me see this as just a little bit.........nuts?  Well, that's okay, we can just decide to use a different credit card?  Right?  Okay, but what if the government doesn't like that? What if in response to that they decide to freeze our bank accounts, like Trudeau did in Canada? 

Then there's free speech.  In America you can say and think whatever you like, as long as the left approves of it.  I'm "restricted" (another way of saying banned) on LinkedIn, and my comments seem to either be "pending" or "removed" on seemingly conservative websites such a PJ Media and Twitchy.  Well, it turns out PJ Media, Townhall Media, Townhall, Hot Air, RedState, Twitchy, Bearing Arms, Townhall Finance, and Instapundit are all a part of a media conglomerate called Salem Media Group, "fighting" to protect conservative media. Apparently they've decided to embrace the John Kasich principle: "I can define conservatism as I see fit".  Which in his case was the embrace of the far left.  , and Governor Mike DeWine isn't far behind. 

The real kick in the pants is how the media fought tooth and nail insisting Hunter Biden's laptop was nothing more than right wing lies and conspiracy theories.  But now that everyone acknowledges (what sane people have known right along) Hunter Biden and his father are neck deep into corruption, some media outlets are nonetheless still trying to confuse the public by fallaciously defending them or suppressing the facts, as is Twitter and Facebook.  It only took CNN 532 days to admit that Hunter Biden’s laptop scandal was authentic 532 days after this scandal first broke.  Imagine that, a mere 18 months!

Well, the "regular" media is just as outrageous, maybe worse, than the supermarket tabloids of the past, only they're better at making it seem rational and truthful.  But.....it's not!    The media has history, and it's not pretty. 

I do wish more people would embrace my personal motto:  De Omnibus Dubitandum - Everything is to be questioned!   Try it.  You'll get used to it...... and who knows...you might even like it.
