5 Years On, What the Media Need to Know About George Floyd

Be prepared for the twisting of the facts by the legacy media.

For the last five years, the legacy media reported the death of George Floyd no more honestly than they did the health of Joe Biden. The conservative media have only lately attempted to set the record straight, but few among them know the story well enough to counter leftist propaganda.

Saturday, May 25, marks the fifth anniversary of Floyd’s death. The legacy media will take the lead in reviving this story and spinning it. The conservative media — and the White House — need to know how to respond. Some food for thought.

The Downfall Of 60 Minutes And The Biggest Media Scandal You’ve Never Heard Of

Last week, Bill Owens, the executive producer of CBS’ flagship news program 60 Minutes, resigned, “citing encroachments on his journalistic independence,” per The New York Times. In the first show since the news of Owens’ resignation broke, 60 Minutes ended the program with a glowing, if dubious, tribute to Owens that has since gone viral online. The program took the unusual step of alleging unethical behavior by CBS’ corporate parent Paramount for Owens’ resignation, though they didn’t present any direct evidence of this. And the facts suggest that Owens isn’t exactly the paragon of integrity he’s being made out to be.

Chuck Todd Claims Media ‘Are Not Elites at All,’ Bashes Press Criticism as ‘Biased’

Along with his viral comments on Chris Cillizza’s podcast defending the liberal media’s cover-up of Joe Biden’s cognitive decline, former Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd used the Monday episode of his own podcast to claim “most people in the press are not elites at all” and deride press criticism as “insult[ing]” and “biased” in and of itself that should be dismissed.

At White House Correspondents’ Dinner, fake remorse over Biden ‘mistakes’

Imagine a neurological disease that changed your perceptions in subtle, damaging ways.

Stubbing your toe would bring pleasure. Rotten meat would taste delicious. Deadly cold would feel comfy.

Meanwhile, a gentle neck massage would make you feel sick, and fresh food would taste disgusting.

You wouldn’t last long with such a disease. But our society is facing something similar.

Liberals Loathe Arrival of ‘MAGA Media’ Inside the White House

The New York Times recently published a hissy fit about the White House allowing reporters into the Briefing Room who didn’t vote for Kamala Harris. Here was the amazing protest sentence: “Longtime White House reporters say the result has been an erosion of their independence.”

The presence of a reporter who didn’t vote Democrat doesn’t “erode” the anti-Trump animus (“independence”) of liberal activist journalists. It might balance it, suggesting journalism and liberalism are not exactly the same thing.

An Obit for Journalism

The death of objectivity has been both cause and effect.

The year 2024 began with grim news for the news. The Los Angeles Times laid off 115 staffers in January, triggering doomsday conclusions about journalism’s future. Media experts who had worked hard to save the industry seemed ready to admit that the end was near. As one longtime observer noted, “It may finally be time to give up on old journalism and its legacy industry. . . . The old news industry has failed at adapting to the internet and every one of their would-be saviors—from tablets to paywalls to programmatic ads to consolidation to billionaires—has failed them.”

Maddow and Olberman: MSNBC Is Hotbed of White Supremacism

Conservatives have been saying for years that MSNBC platforms some of the most racist people in the Pravda Media–and until recently, the market for racism has been booming. So much so that the demand for racism exceeded the supply.

You know it’s bad when you agree with Cenk.

How the legacy media became powerless

It was nearly 2 a.m. on the East Coast in the middle of election night when CNN’s Jake Tapper stood across from professional virtual-map operator John King and asked a simple question: “Are there any places where Kamala Harris overperformed from where Biden did?”

Tapping away from a view of Bucks County, Pennsylvania, King zoomed out to a view of the entire United States and hit a key to show a comparison to the 2020 election. The map instantly turned a solid dark gray, without a single county highlighted.

“Holy smokes,” Tapper gasped. “Literally nothing? Literally not one county?”

CBS to hand over Harris interview after Trump, FCC pressure.

CBS News plans to provide the Federal Communications Commission with the transcript of a “60 Minutes” interview with Kamala Harris that is at the heart of a lawsuit against the network filed by President Donald Trump — the latest development in a battle that critics say is being used to target press freedom.

When did “press freedom” become 1984 like historical revisionism?

Jim Acosta and the Collapse of the ‘Mainstream Media’

The 2024 election sent serious shock waves through the badly named “mainstream media.” The American mainstream has rejected the Democrat media establishment, finding them untrustworthy to “save democracy.” It’s more like arrogantly manipulating democracy. They through every rock and every kitchen sink at Donald Trump, and they lost. Is it time to say goodbye?

FCC Chair Brendan Carr Opens Up Probe of NPR/PBS Advertising, or ‘Underwriting’

FCC Chairman Brendan Carr opened up a probe of NPR and PBS Thursday over their airing of commercial announcements. The New York Times warned of a “politicized” debate over public broadcasting. They don’t want any debate. To suggest it tilts left “politicizes” it. But somehow, to tilt left is….not politicizing things? Apparently, liberal bias is the desirable norm. Anything the disrupts it is “politicized.”
