CNN Claims Biden Didn’t Call Trump’s China Travel Restrictions ‘Xenophobic’
by Shifra on September 30, 2020Well, if CNN said so, it must be true…said no one who cares about the truth, ever. HT Daily Wire. Via CNN: Fact check: Trump claims Biden called him xenophobic for travel restrictions From CNN’s Tara Subramaniam Defending his response to the coronavirus pandemic, President Trump referenced the travel restrictions his administration imposed on foreign nationals who had been in China, then attacked Biden for remarks he had made the same day. Addressing his opponent, Trump said, “I closed it, and you said, ‘He’s xenophobic. He’s a racist and he’s xenophobic,’ because you didn’t think I should have closed our country.” Fact Check – CNN Did Biden say Trump was xenophobic for imposing travel restrictions on China? This is lacking...

CNN’s ‘Reliable Sources’ With Brian Stelter Sinks To ‘Rock Bottom’ Ratings
by Shifra on January 2, 2020And this: 2019 Was The Highest Rated Primetime Year In Fox News History Happy New Year, everyone! 2020 is already looking good. 🙂 Via Fox News. CNN’s beleaguered media show “Reliable Sources” with Brian Stelter hit an embarrassing new low on Dec. 22, when it averaged only 85,000 viewers among a key age group. Stelter regularly touts the significance of the news demographic of adults age 25-54 but the dismal performance marked his lowest viewership of 2019 in the category…. CNN: Everything but the News

Epic Fail: CNN Ratings Hit Three-Year Low With Impeachment Circus
by Shifra on December 6, 2019Looks like everyone is watching Fox, and no one is watching CNN. And that includes CNN’s Brian Stelter: How many times will the Barron/baron moment be replayed on Fox tonight, you think? I've seen it twice in the past 30 minutes. — Brian Stelter (@brianstelter) December 5, 2019 Via Daily Caller. CNN posted its lowest primetime ratings in three years over the Thanksgiving holidays, while Fox News posted higher ratings than CNN and MSNBC combined…. It was CNN’s worst primetime week in three years, and its worst week among the 25-54 demographic. The low ratings come as House Democrats have been conducting hearings on the impeachment of President Donald Trump….

Trump Administration Rolls Back Obama Administration’s Illegal Land Grabs
by Shifra on September 15, 2019Reading the NYT, you would think the Trump Administration is taking away our clean water. Via NY Post. “Trump Administration Rolls Back Clean Water Protections,” ran The New York Times headline on the repeal of Obama-era Environmental Protection Agency rulemaking. Don’t buy the hype: Team Trump’s move wasn’t a blow against clean water but a win for basic justice. All the pre-Obama protections of the water supply remain in effect. This simply undoes a move that gave EPA jurisdiction over vast amounts of dry land, in clear violation of Congress’ intent. By adding terms such as “adjacent waters” and “tributaries” to Clean Water Act coverage, the move empowered EPA officials to grab power over seasonal streams, farm irrigation ponds, roadside...

No, POTUS Did *Not* Order Navy To ‘Cover Up’ Name Of USS John McCain
by Shifra on May 30, 2019This anti-Trump “journalist” seems really desperate to prove a “cover up”…of something. But when you’ve even lost MSNBC… Via Daily Wire. A Wall Street Journal reporter with a history of anti-Trump bias claimed on Wednesday that the White House covered the name of the USS John McCain during President Donald Trump’s recent visit to Japan — which was later disputed by multiple sources. In a tweet that went viral, WSJ reporter Rebecca Ballhaus wrote that “a tarp was hung over the ship’s name ahead of the trip, and sailors—who wear caps bearing the ship’s name—were given the day off for Trump’s visit.” Ballhaus’s tweet and report went viral and were used to immediately attack the president before any additional information...

AP Publishes, Then Deletes: ‘Beto’ Spoke In ‘His Native Spanish’
by Shifra on April 1, 2019The AP did not explain why the “native Spanish” line was scrubbed. It’s likely, however, all the flaming they received on social media for falling for the myth that the Irish/Welsh Robert Francis is Hispanic probably embarrassed them. Or maybe someone made them read this Daily Beast article, “Beto Tries to Trick Hispanics Into Thinking He’s One of Them.” But they are clearly in love with the guy, and remember: “Love means never having to say you’re sorry.” Or something. But at least we’re getting a sense of just how dumb the Democratic primary season is really going to be. Via Daily Caller. The Associated Press appeared to stealth edit an article Sunday about a rally for Democratic presidential hopeful...

CNN’s Own Report Contradicts Claim That Trump Called Neo-Nazis ‘Fine People’
by Shifra on March 13, 2019I am so sick and tired of the craven attempts of the Trump-haters to slander President Trump as a ‘Nazi supporter.’ Or Hitler. It’s an absurd, false accusation – a blood libel – and it demeans and trivializes the entire horrendous history of the Holocaust. Via Breitbart. CNN failed to correct, retract, or apologize for its repeated false reports in recent weeks that President Donald Trump had referred to neo-Nazis as “very fine people” in his remarks about the Charlottesville, Virginia, riot in 2017. But on Tuesday, CNN linked to its own report at the time that reported, accurately, that Trump had used “very fine people” to refer to protesters for and against the removal of a historic statue, not...

CNN Deceptively Edits Trump Clip To Appear He Broke Promise to Gay Community
by Shifra on January 24, 2019So shocking that CNN has abandoned their ethics and journalistic standards…said no one, ever. Kudos to Media Research Center for catching this really shameless and misleading piece of, uh, “news”. Just when you think CNN and Jake Tapper could not possibly sink any lower. They really have become the Clown ‘News’ Network. Via NewsBusters. Reacting to word that the U.S. Supreme Court has approved the Trump administration’s ban on new transgender military recruits, CNN correspondent Jessica Dean ran a piece which deceptively edited a clip of Donald Trump from the 2016 campaign to make it appear he had made a general promise to support “LGBTQ” rights which he is now allegedly breaking. In fact, the clip of Trump in question...

Covington Students’ Lawyer: 48 Hours To Retract Fake News Before Lawsuits Begin
by Shifra on January 24, 2019Well, now we know why Rep. Ilhan Omar so quickly deleted her lying tweet about the Covington Catholic students; Robert Barnes, the lawyer who is offering to sue public figures for spreading false stories about the now-infamous incident, had added Omar to his list of “retract or get sued.” This is how we get the vicious vipers to be more careful about spreading fake stories. As Tammy reminded us on her show earlier this week, after Melania Trump threatened the Daily Mail with a lawsuit for spreading lies about her, the paper very quickly retracted and apologized. Lib hacks everywhere, beware! Via Western Journal. An attorney representing students and alumni from Covington Catholic High School announced on Wednesday that his...

Native American In ‘Covington’ Story Has History of Complaining of Students’ ‘Racism’
by Shifra on January 22, 2019This story is getting even more outrageous and infuriating, and now, the attorney for the Covington students is threatening lawsuits against the media unless they retract their false stories. And, Washington Times is now questioning whether Phillips is, in fact, a ‘Vietnam vet,’ which added to the false drama of “white Catholic boys taunting an elderly Native American Vietnam veteran.” Not that the anti-Trump mob, or, as they prefer to call themselves, “journalists,” would have bothered checking his background. Or bothered to check the video, where they would have seen that Phillips is the one who instigated the incident. And now this, via Daily Wire: The Native American man at the center of the controversy involving a group of Trump-supporting...

CNN Host Grills Brother of American Detained in Russia About… Anti-CNN Tweets
by Shifra on January 2, 2019Paul Whelan, 48, the head of global security for a Michigan-based auto parts supplier and a former U.S. Marine, is being detained in Russia on allegations of being a spy. The family insists Whelan was in Russia last week to attend a wedding. And Alisyn Camerota is very troubled by this story, because… Whelan had tweeted that CNN is fake news. Oh, the horror. This is a perfect example if what happens when “journalists” believe they are part of the story, or should be part of the story. Here is a perfect example of a genuinely important news story that should concern all of us. Instead of reporting on it as such, the exchange becomes one of reporter versus the...

CNN’s 2014 ‘Journalist of the Year’ Resigns, Admits to Fake Interviews
by Shifra on December 20, 2018This is so shocking, because CNN is a news organization with great integrity…said no one, ever. Via Guardian. The German news magazine Der Spiegel has been plunged into chaos after revealing that one of its top reporters had falsified stories over several years. The media world was stunned by the revelations that the award-winning journalist Claas Relotius had, according to the weekly, “made up stories and invented protagonists” in at least 14 out of 60 articles that appeared in its print and online editions, warning that other outlets could also be affected. Relotius, 33, resigned after admitting to the scam. He had written for the magazine for seven years and won numerous awards for his investigative journalism, including CNN Journalist...

CNN Anchor’s Fake Border Stats Exposed By DHS In Epic Tweet
by Shifra on December 14, 2018Slapchop! Via NewsBusters. CNN’s Jim Sciutto was one of the many journalists this week who attacked President Trump’s comments about border security during his meeting with Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer Tuesday. Sciutto even did a whole segment “fact-checking” the president on Wednesday’s CNN Newsroom. Unfortunately for him, actual experts from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) called out his reporting on Twitter with a brutal comeback…. Pres. Trump said yesterday "10 terrorists" have been caught at the border. @jimsciutto's fact check: “DHS did not provide evidence of a single terrorist caught at the southern border over the very last short period of time as the president claimed” https://t.co/a1nCtEFR3s pic.twitter.com/O0Jh9JVDld — CNN Newsroom (@CNNnewsroom) December 12, 2018 We are happy...

WH Press Office Debunks Fake News ‘White Supremacist’ Story
by Shifra on November 8, 2018Anti-Trumpers fell all over themselves yesterday with a fake story that a white supremacist had been invited to the White House. Yeah, no. There was a white supremacist on the grounds of the WH, but there was no invitation. He is grateful, though, for all the free publicity. He tweeted: I attended the White House during a tour, for which tickets are freely available to the public. I would, though, like to thank @jaredlholt, @JGreenblattADL, @jaketapper, and every other guillible, histrionic loser for the free advertising! And for the record, I have no ties, formal or informal, to anyone in the White House. Via Daily Caller. People on Twitter said Wednesday that Patrick Casey, executive director of the white nationalist...

FLOTUS Spokesperson Destroys Fake News Report About First Lady
by Shifra on November 2, 2018Memo to Quartz: Melania did not stay overnight in Cairo. But why bother with facts? Via Daily Caller. Melania Trump’s spokesperson Stephanie Grisham called out Quartz following its report that alleged the first lady’s one night stay in a Cairo hotel cost “over $95,000.”…. Hi @qz – the First Lady did not stay the night in Cairo. This is an example of irresponsible journalism & had someone (@JustinRohrlich ) fact checked things w me, this could have been avoided. https://t.co/cbpfg5PUj2 — Stephanie Grisham (@StephGrisham45) November 1, 2018
