ABC Reports Higher Premiums, Deductibles Since ’08. No Mention Of ‘Obamacare’
by Shifra on November 24, 2019If you are wondering how it is possible to report on middle-class healthcare skyrocketing costs from 2008 to 2018, without bothering to mention Obamacare as a possible factor, read last week’s ABC report. Wasn’t Obamacare supposed to lower costs? Wasn’t it named the *Affordable* Care Act? And now, the Dems are trying to foist an even more horrible scheme on us, with millions losing their private health insurance, and dumping everyone into Medicare For All, or, as it should be called, Healthcare For None. HT Twitchy. In 2008, middle-class workers spent about 7.8% of household income on premiums and deductibles. By 2018, that figure had climbed to 11.5%. https://t.co/u1iaCkAfoA — ABC News (@ABC) November 21, 2019 Gee, what happened between...

MSM Withdraw Story Pinning Obama’s Migrant Detention Center Rates On Trump
by Shifra on November 20, 2019Detention center under *Obama* The Fake News Purveyors, er, MSM, were forced to retract their story after attributing Obama-era child detention center statistics to President Trump. But notice how, in their retractions, they mention “the year 2015” rather than “Obama.” Via Fox News. Several media organizations were forced to make retractions Tuesday after falsely attributing a staggering Obama-era migrant child-detention statistic to President Trump. On Monday, Manfred Nowak, an expert from the U.N. Global Study on Children Deprived of Liberty, claimed that 100,000 migrant children were detained by the Trump administration and indicated that it was the “world’s highest rate” of detained children. The following day, however, he acknowledged that the cited number actually was from 2015 — under President...

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...

CNN And The Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad… Week
by Shifra on August 14, 2019CNN hit the trifecta of bad publicity, all in one week. It could not have happened to a better, er worse, er…well, you know what I mean. Via Fox News. It’s been another rough week for CNN as the network suddenly has a plethora of off-screen issues in addition to its usual ratings struggles. “Just when one thought things couldn’t get any worse for CNN, they did,” NewsBusters managing editor Curtis Houck told Fox News. “In CNN’s current form, they’ve always had putrid ratings, disingenuous personalities and a pathetic inability to simply cover the news – instead fearmongering the small, anti-Trump audience into submission – but this past week was possibly the worst ever in totality.” The liberal news network...

British Newspaper Obscures Four Killed By Israeli Army Were Hamas Terrorists
by Shifra on August 11, 2019Reading the Independent UK headline, you would think the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) killed four innocent men out for a stroll: “Israeli army kills four Palestinians attempting to cross Gaza fence” Here is the headline of the same event, reported by Times of Israel: IDF says large-scale terror attack thwarted as troops prevent Gaza infiltration — 4 Gazans with AK-47s, RPGs, hand grenades and hunting knives killed when one throws grenade at soldiers during attempt to scale barrier; Hamas says they ‘acted independently’ Via Honest Reporting. When is a terrorist not a terrorist? Judging by a recent Independent headline, the answer would seem to be when they are thwarted in the act of staging an attack on Israel. On Saturday...

No, WaPo, Abraham Lincoln Was Not ‘Into’ Karl Marx, Was Not A Socialist
by Shifra on August 8, 2019This Washington Post article is absurd and laughable. You know who was into Karl Marx? No, not AOC. Abraham Lincoln. https://t.co/p7uG2JtEWx — The Washington Post (@washingtonpost) July 27, 2019 But it caught the eye of the Dayton mass-murderer, who took it seriously. HT Heavy. Connor Betts, the Dayton, Ohio mass shooter, was a self-described “leftist,” who wrote that he would happily vote for Democrat Elizabeth Warren, praised Satan, was upset about the 2016 presidential election results, and added, “I want socialism, and i’ll not wait for the idiots to finally come round to understanding.”…. Via Federalist. The Washington Post has seen better days. The newspaper that once brought us Watergate published an article last week titled “You know who was...

Appeals Court Rules Sarah Palin Can Move Forward With Lawsuit Against NYT
by Shifra on August 6, 2019The NYT has a long history of biased reporting, from their “cover-up” of the Holocaust in WWII to their frequent anti-Israel coverage. And today’s story of NYT caving to the liberal mob, changing their headline of Trump’s speech, is another shameful example of their so-called journalism. Good luck to Palin in moving forward with her lawsuit. Let’s hope she wins...bigly. Via The Hill. The 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday ruled that Sarah Palin can move forward with her defamation lawsuit against The New York Times, two years after a lower court judge dismissed the case. Palin had sued the newspaper for defamation over an editorial that tied an ad from the former Alaska governor and GOP vice presidential...

ICYMI: CNN Airs ‘OrangeManBad’ Story: Trump Is Targeting… Honeybees!
by Shifra on July 18, 2019An entire segment on President Trump and honeybees…and CNN wonders why their ratings are sinking like a stone? Via Western Journal. An increasingly common, if disheartening, aspect of the predominately liberal establishment media’s coverage of President Donald Trump is to frame everything he does or says in the most negative fashion possible…. CNN has arguably perfected the “art” of portraying everything done by Trump as being terrible, and its recent report on the U.S. Department of Agriculture temporarily suspending a survey on honeybee populations is just the latest ridiculous example…. The USDA’s National Agriculture Statistics Service announced on July 1 that it would not collect data for July ahead of the release of its annual Honey Bee Colonies Report. That...

CNN Ratings Continue to Crater, Drops to 15th Place in Coveted Time Slot
by Shifra on July 7, 2019Well-deserved, CNN. 🙂 Via NY Post. CNN’s prime-time ratings are cratering. The cable news titan founded by Ted Turner in 1980 dropped to 15th place in the coveted 8 p.m.-to-11 p.m. time slot last quarter after losing 20% of its viewers, according to TV ratings tracker Nielsen. That’s five slots below where it was this time last year, Nielsen said…. The network drew 761,000 total prime-time viewers in the three months ended in June, putting it behind MSNBC’s 1.7 million viewers and Fox’s 2.4 million prime-time viewers. Fox ranked in first place — and MSNBC second place — among basic cable networks in prime time, Nielsen said…. In the coveted demographic of ages 25 to 54, Fox averaged 373,000 viewers...

‘The Hill’ Uses Obama-Era Photo of Caged Kids On Story About Trump Detention Centers
by Shifra on July 2, 2019How could they not know that the photo was from 2014? As the Daily Caller points out, the AP called out the erroneous use of this photo last year. And now Rep. Jerrold Nadler, who for some reason feels the need to compete with ‘Sandy’ Ocasio-Cortez for “person most desperate to be in the news cycle 24/7” is promoting the lie of “child abuse” at the detention centers. Maybe he should talk to the Hispanic pastors who toured the border facility lambasted by Ocasio-Cortez and say they are ‘shocked by misinformation’ Via Daily Caller. The Hill, a national political news outlet, erroneously tied a 2014 photo of migrant children sleeping in cages to a story about the current conditions of...

Sad: MSNBC Panel Disappointed Dem Debate Did Not Have More Trump-Bashing
by Shifra on June 27, 2019These clowns, er, MSNBC Talking Heads, apparently have zero self-awareness. They “live and breathe” POTUS-bashing, 24/7. They can never get enough. Well, there’s always tonight’s debate. Fingers crossed, Trump-haters! Via NewsBusters. Awww, hopefully everyone at MSNBC leaves tonight with a comfort animal of their choice. In the first few minutes after the first 2020 Democratic presidential debate on Wednesday, panelists were livid that there wasn’t enough Trump bashing…. Former Democratic Senator-turned-MSNBC analyst Claire McCaskill…pivoted to lament how she “was surprised how little there was a discussion of the mess in the White House right now.” McCaskill doubled down, ruling that she “was shocked that more candidates didn’t tie their policies into the ineptitude, the chaos, the horrible things this President...

‘Telemundo’ Ignores Record-Low Hispanic Unemployment, Hypes ‘Donut Day’
by Shifra on June 13, 2019Suggested motto for Telemundo: ‘Democracy Dies…In Donuts’ Via NewsBusters. Outstanding economic news continues for the nation’s largest ethnic minority – Hispanic Americans – with the unemployment rate for this segment of the population remaining at a record-low of 4.2% in May. Yet for the Spanish-language sister network of NBC, Telemundo, this historically low rate was not even worth mentioning on its national evening news. Instead, completely ignoring the latest jobs numbers from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, anchor José Díaz-Balart chose to share with his audience the evidently more important National Doughnut Day news, the day when “consumers spend 57% more on doughnuts.”…. Withholding good economic news from their audiences has become something of a custom at both Telemundo...

WaPo Credits Mexico for Trump’s Tariff Threat Win
by Shifra on June 11, 2019Because “’Democracy Dies’… When You Spin The News So Absurdly That You Need A Chiropractor To Untwist Yourself”…or something. HT Twitchy. Mexico talked Trump out of tariffs with migrant crackdown and broader measures if needed, officials and documents say https://t.co/1uqhbXYxFD — The Washington Post (@washingtonpost) June 10, 2019 That is some Olympic-level spin gymnastics right there. — Jules of Denial (@Coolish_Breeze) June 11, 2019 #Translation Mexico caved to Trump. https://t.co/Yp2dfz3aU0 — #Translation Goat (@oculi_vindictae) June 10, 2019 I've seen washing machines with less spin. — Matthew McGeehin (@MattJM1985) June 11, 2019 Seems like truth has died at Pravda on the Potomac…not just democracy — Migraine481 (@migraine481) June 11, 2019 Mexican President CAVES To Trump on Border, In Bid to Stop...

NBC, CBS Edit Out Alex Trebek Saying *Prayer* Helps With His Cancer Battle
by Shifra on June 5, 2019Yes, God forbid (pun intended) that NBC and CBS should play the full Trebek quote. It might get people thinking about the power of prayer. And that, apparently, goes against their preferred “religion”…Leftism. Via NewsBusters. In an interview with People magazine out Wednesday, Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek credited the prayers of millions of his fans for helping him in his fight against stage-four pancreatic cancer, now in “near remission.” Yet, while ABC’s World News Tonight touted Trebek’s praise, the CBS Evening News ignored that part of Trebek’s comments and NBC Nightly News edited it out of the quotes read and video clips they aired…. …Trebek telling People magazine: “The doctors said that they hadn’t seen this kind of positive result...

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...
