Media Lies from Last Week

Sept. 8 - 14      "There were so many I could hardly keep up."

Is lying a legitimate business model? I recommend the FCC and FEC investigate CNN for operating under the false pretense as a news network when, in fact, CNN is an obvious 24/7 propaganda machine in service to the DNC. This constitutes an unreported, in-kind campaign contribution worth millions per year, and a violation of numerous federal laws.

CNN Exclusive: US extracted top spy from inside Russia in 2017
No doubt CNN editors wet their pants as they buried their true headline in the 2nd paragraph:
"A person directly involved in the discussions said that the removal of the Russian was driven, in part, by concerns that President Donald Trump and his administration repeatedly mishandled classified intelligence and could contribute to exposing the covert source as a spy."
Russia, Russia lie delivered. Cruel narrative Mistress served.

However, all bullsh!t alarms sounded simultaneously, and a mere 24 hours later the CIA slams CNN's 'misguided' and 'simply false' reporting on alleged spy's extraction from Kremlin

Even the NY Times spat on the CNN LIE: "CIA officials "made the arduous decision in late 2016 to offer to extract the source from Russia" -- weeks before Trump even took office."

The Federalist spelled out the obvious with "Obama, Not Trump, Outed Russian Spy"

Good grief. Burn CNN to the ground; salt the earth where it festered; encase it in concrete; and post armed guards to warn off any who dare come to pay homage to its memory.

Next, we reach way back to the week before last week for a whole lot of stupid which oozed into last week: 'Sharpiegate.'

Hurricanes are unpredictable monsters, at best. After inflicting massive devastation across parts of the Bahamas, Hurricane Dorian was still a cat 4 storm as it neared the Florida coast. On Friday, Aug. 30, Gov. Ron DeSantis issued evacuation orders. The National Weather Service posted best guesstimates for Dorian's landfall - including a slight chance to travel inland across Florida, Georgia and Alabama. Seven days later, Dorian made landfall at Cape Hatteras, North Carolina as a cat 1 storm. Dorian would continue on up the entire U.S eastern seaboard, and make landfall 2 more times before it left New Foundland, on September 8, as a tropical storm still packing 60mph winds.

Let's review: Gale force winds; torrential flooding; deaths; injuries; power outages; property damage; evacuations...  No, no. That's not the news cycle. The lying media consumed with TDS just couldn't help themselves, and abuse us all with a week-long, obstreperous media tantrum about a black marking pen:

President Trump shows doctored hurricane chart.  Was it to cover up for ‘Alabama’ Twitter flub?

Shep Smith Torches Trump Over Dorian Map: ‘It Was Fake News Defined’

NOAA assailed for defending Trump's Hurricane Dorian claim

Taxpayers are funding the Trump White House's misinformation campaign

Presidential troll or complete cock-up?

Border wall LIES.
Projects defunded for Trump’s border wall include military buildings with ‘life safety violations’ and hazmat concerns

Pentagon to Divert Money From 127 Projects to Pay for Trump’s Border Wall

Trump administration raids military construction projects for border wall

I don't mind these media weasels naming it 'Trump's wall.' It is. Paint it orange for all I care. If not for Trump, there'd be no talk or progress on the project, at all. Yet, all of a sudden, the mendacious media gives a flying care about military safety and readiness. In June 2017, Secretary of Defense Mattis testified before Congress, and leveled a scathing indictment against years of 'sequestration' nurtured by Obama and the previous Congress.
"No enemy in the field has done more to harm the combat readiness of our military than sequestration. We have only sustained our ability to meet American’s commitments abroad because our troops have stoically shouldred a much greater burden."
Sequestration is a 5 dollar word meaning for every dollar cut from the Obama era 'invisible' budgets for domestic spending, one dollar must be cut from the defense budget. And A LOT was cut over the 8 years of the Obama administration. Where were all the media concern trolls then?

James Clark at Task & Purpose explained in 2015:
"On the whole, spending increased in 2010 and 2011, but decreased every year for four straight years by a cumulative 15%, write Jacobson and Sherman. In 2010, national security spending made up 20.1% of the federal budget, but in 2015 it was roughly 15.9%. Over that same period, spending declined from 4.6% of gross domestic product to 3.3%."
Over the course of 8 years, Obama purged hundreds of senior military personnel from the ranks of all branches of service, turned the military into a social justice experiment, reduced the ships in our deep water navy to the lowest levels since WWI, cut the Army from 550,000 troops down to 475,000. Again, where were all the media concern trolls then?

The simple truth is Congress controls the money, and if it wants to collectively fill those funding gaps for our military, it can, and Trump will sign it. But Congress doesn't want to. Period. End of sentence.

Trump Administration Is Not Funding Legal Aid In 3 Migrant Children’s Shelters
"But in a statement to HuffPost, an Office of Refugee Resettlement spokesperson denied that there was an issue with the contracts and said the government is now providing funding for legal services in all shelters."
The HuffPo headline is a flat out, bald-faced LIE, yet most people will only be exposed to the narrative: Orange Man Hates Immigrants. Busy people with busy lives seldom have time to skim past a headline or 1st paragraph let alone dig down to the 7th paragraph to find that pull quote. Yet, the lie was dutifully delivered. Cruel narrative Mistress served.

Plus, we tackle the tough issues: How do you know when a politician is lying?

Biden Wants to Work With ‘the Other Side.’ This Supreme Court Battle Explains Why.

'Work With ‘the Other Side.' Liar. When Bush Sr. nominated Judge Robert Bork to the scotus in 1987, then-Senator Biden viciously smeared the good name & character of Bork in order to destroy his nomination. Joe was so successful with his vicious smear tactics, Bork became a verb; 'borking.'

Biden is a pernicious, vengeful habitual liar who masquerades as good 'ol 'lunch bucket' Joe - even though he's never carried a lunch bucket in his entire working life. Watch your back. And your daughters.

O'Rourke: "Hell, yes, we're going to take your AR-15"

No, you're not. Liar. I recommend the FEC investigate this anti-constitutional nimrod for operating a ponzi scheme under the guise of a political campaign in order to scam people out of their non-refundable contributions. Why? Since the 2nd Amendment is part of the U.S. Constitution, it's an obvious LIE this anti-constitutional nimrod will 'support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.' So, by his own confession, he runs for political office he is not qualified to hold, and scams donations from the gullible.

Those are the Media Lies from Last Week, until the media lies from next week.
