The Lies Never End

The hard right is not freely allowed on Faceberg, regardless of what the fake news says.

In the months before and after the 2020 election, far-right pages that are known to spread misinformation consistently garnered more engagement on Facebook than any other partisan news, according to a New York University study published Wednesday.

…

Their findings provide yet another data point to counter conservative claims that they’re being more aggressively censored than liberals. The researchers found that not only did far-right misinformation outperform every other ideological category, but far-right news in general also drew far more engagement per follower than any other category. Far-left news came in close behind, suggesting that the more extreme a news source’s partisan slant is on Facebook, the more engagement it gets. Centrist news received by far the least engagement per follower during those months.

First, this is utter nonsense. I, through PPN and FP, know that Zuck will not tolerate real right information. Conservatives, fake right Prometheans, and paid idiot shills are not of the right anyway. Second, no one on the legitimate right has any business being on FB or any other mainstream anti-social at all. Fact check: bullshit.

BTW, did the “righties” on FB report this?

Now, will the league speak out about the Chinese court ruling that states referring to homosexuality as a mental disorder is a-OK? Will it pull preseason games out of China, stop accepting money from Chinese merchandise sales, vehemently speak out about the communist nation’s decision to promote materials that are clearly anti-LGBT?

The point is not the hypocrisy. The point is that the Chinese response demonstrates it was never necessary to surrender to the neoclowns and SJWs. Unfortunately, the prosperity-weakened Christians of the West lacked the spine and the intelligence to defend their ideals, their nations, or their faith, and succumbed to lies about free speech, equality, posterity, and civic nationalism.

Which is why the 21st Century is much more likely to belong to the East than to the West.

Of course, not. Most conservatives wouldn’t even know what Vox is writing about. If you’re of the right and stil on FB, then you’re getting the misinformation and mistreatment you deserve.

The fake news is now trying, as predicted, to alter their narrative from “Biden won, case closed,” to “Trump stole the election.” The Washington Post and the AP are now dangerously close to aiding and abetting a coup with their repeated conspiracy theories and utterly baseless claims, lacking any supporting evidence whatsoever (tables, turning…), that Donald Trump, Fidel Castro, or anyone else attempted to rig the November election by merely adhering to the law and preventing the deep state from stealing it. The facts: the Electoral College has certified the election, with a seven-state duality catch sufficient to re-elect the President on January 6th. May the Storm break loose on the 7th.

A Pathetic Kind of Hoax

I’ve stopped covering the usual bullshit budget impasses in Congress for the most part. The topic is utterly meaningless now and has been for years. And, there’s the fact that much of the available coverage is completely worthless, the fakest of hoax news. Like this load:

WASHINGTON — Senior lawmakers were working Sunday to finalize legislation on coronavirus relief after they reached a compromise late Saturday on a major hurdle holding up the expected $900 billion package.

A roadblock emerged Friday as Democrats accused Republicans, namely Sen. Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, of trying to encumber the Biden administration by cutting off the Federal Reserve’s emergency lending abilities under the CARES Act to protect the battered economy. Lawmakers came to an agreement on the issue late Saturday, sources said.

“Now that Democrats have agreed to a version of Sen. Toomey’s important language, we can begin closing out the rest of the package to deliver much-needed relief to families, workers and businesses,” a spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said late Saturday.

The only part that’s true is the “Washington” location. It’s not a shutdown, it’s a shitdown.

Settling Up With The Sand Man

Young hero Nick Sandman is on a roll, reaching another settlement with the fake news of Amerika.

Sandmann declared the victory in a tweet on his 18th birthday. It’s unclear how much the newspaper settled for.

“On 2/19/19, I filed $250M defamation lawsuit against Washington Post. Today, I turned 18 & WaPo settled my lawsuit,” he wrote.

“Thanks to @ToddMcMurtry & @LLinWood for their advocacy. Thanks to my family & millions of you who have stood your ground by supporting me. I still have more to do,” he continued.

It’s the teen’s second win in a whopping $800 million defamation battle against a number of news outlets including the Washington Post, CNN, ABC, CBS, The Guardian, The Hill and NBC.

Go get ’em, kid! And happy birthday.

WaPo’s harassment of Nick and the other Catholic kids was yet another of the never-ending hoaxes that comprise the false reality of Amerika. Maybe he can use a few dollars of the settlement to mail Nathan Phillips some soap?

Ha! Ha! Ha! Remember every single time the special people ridiculed, threatened to kill, or actually killed ordinary, heritage Americans? Just good clean fun, they always say. Okay. Then, here’s some more good clean fun:

Ha! Ha! Ha! See, it’s so funny!

The White House is bothered, though. And, in retrospect, as funny as this is, drones would probably be more efficient.

I was wondering why I suddenly read so many hysterical fake news bits about global whale melting. Here’s one from some nut at CNN, wherein he admits the climate crazies don’t understand the calendar or math and are just plain stupid and expect that everyone else is too. He’s also with the “okay, now aerosols are cool” thing. I really don’t get that one. The ozone and all. Yikes!

But the scale of the outrage in no way matches the magnitude of this disaster, which, like WWII, threatens to cripple or even obliterate human life on the planet as we know it.

We’ve known the truth about climate change — that people are burning fossil fuels and warming the atmosphere, with potentially catastrophic consequences — for decades now. James Hansen testified about the dangers of global warming when he was an NASA scientist in 1988. The New York Times headline: “Global Warming Has Begun, Expert Tells Senate.”

Since then, the eco-woke among us have created more than enough deadlines to try to force change. In 1990, as George Marshall wrote in his book “Don’t Even Think About It,” the magazine Ecologist published a book called “5,000 Days to Save the Planet.” About 5,000 days later, the Institute for Public Policy Research declared that there were “Ten Years to Save the Planet.” In 2008, he wrote, the New Economics Foundation said it was “100 Months to Save the World.”

As a journalist who’s been covering climate for years, I’ve been part of that deadline trend. In the leadup to the Paris climate talks in 2015, I wrote that there were “100 days to save the world.”

The deadlines aren’t the problem. It’s our failure to heed them.

Yeah, no, dumbass – you are the problem. 5,000 days after 1990 was about 2003. The world was okay. Ten years after that was 2013. The world was okay. 100 months after 2008 was 2017. We’re still here. Assuming he wrote his 2015 scare tactic piece on December 31st, the 100 days was up in early 2016. See a pattern?

Someone get these saps a calculator and a calendar – and be quick! – we only have 100 HOURS!!!! or the mania might end…

BTW, I need to dig up my real numbers for Earth Day post for a re-pub. Look for that in a bit.

Fake News, Real Consequences

Maybe $250 Million consequences.

Attorneys representing the Kentucky high school student involved in a confrontation that went viral on social media last month announced Tuesday that they were suing The Washington Post for $250 million in compensatory and punitive damages.

The lawsuit, which was filed in federal court in Kentucky, accused The Post of practicing “a modern-day form of McCarthyism” by targeting Nicholas Sandmann and “using its vast financial resources to enter the bully pulpit by publishing a series of false and defamatory print and online articles … to smear a young boy who was in its view an acceptable casualty in their war against the president.”

Chief Hobo should lose his war drum too.

The fake news, as presented by Yahoo!, laments the passing of civil discourse in America. For the record, these folks just parrot the many lies of the other lying liars. As such, they can’t even report the fake news’ fake news without more fake news.

She flipped through television channels and radio stations, scanning from conservative to liberal media, searching for any sign that the polarized nation had finally reached its tipping point.

For days, Elisa Karem Parker had been seeing updates in the news: A pipe bomb sent to liberal political donor George Soros. One delivered to CNN. More to former President Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and other prominent political figures villainized by those on the right — a bizarre plot unfolding just ahead of the midterm election that will decide which party controls Congress.

“It’s like our country is becoming ‘The Hunger Games,'” Parker, who considers herself squarely in the middle of the political divide, told her husband and teenage son over dinner.

“It’s like our country is becoming…” Proper tense, here, is “became.” Maybe if more people had turned off the teevee and paid attention BEFORE we reached the tipping point, something could have been done.

Too little, too late I fear.

Why No One Likes or Trusts the MSM

So last week THEY told us that “Q” is a fiction, a crazed conspiracy theory that no one believes. Uh, but everyone still hates even though it’s not real or, at worst, is just some anonymous and untrustworthy Dept. of Energy hack…

“Q” is supposedly a high-ranking official in the Energy Department with a high-level security clearance. “Q,” the theory goes, is working for Trump and against the supposed “deep state.”

…

It is possible, of course, that opinions might look different outside of Florida. But nevertheless, we suspect that these basic findings would hold. In short, the QAnon movement appears neither well-known nor well-liked by Floridians in either party. Those who support QAnon most strongly are people for whom conspiracies lurk behind every corner.

See, it’s totally not real. Only a lurking nut in Florida would believe it.

THIS, on the other hand – this completely anonymous and utterly unverifiable and as self-congratulatory as it is self-defeating stuff is really really REAL. (Would the NYT every lie??)

So real they need a virtual reality disclaimer and a call for inquiries.

The Times today is taking the rare step of publishing an anonymous Op-Ed essay. We have done so at the request of the author, a senior official in the Trump administration whose identity is known to us and whose job would be jeopardized by its disclosure. We believe publishing this essay anonymously is the only way to deliver an important perspective to our readers. We invite you to submit a question about the essay or our vetting process here.

I almost asked if they were accepting other short works of fiction but I’m not in the habit of commenting on other people’s blogs. Sorry, Slim.

Trump responded Trump style.

Now, as for real journalism … the One and Only Alex Jones! Live today from Mordor. You simply must watch the videos. On his First Amendment quest, AJ successfully hammered home the importance of free speech, the free press, and the proper redress of grievances. All in hilarious fashion!
