Oops: NYT Airs Fake News Ad… In Article Decrying Fake News
by Shifra on December 14, 2016Sad how the “Paper of Record” has become the “Paper to Line Your Bird-Cage.” Via BizPac Review. In what can only be described as the perfect case of irony, The New York Times aired a fake news ad in a story decrying fake news and the death of facts. The piece is an editorial called “Truth and Lies in the Age of Trump” published Saturday. NYTimes’ editorial board discussed the decay of facts in a Walter Cronkite-less era dominated by truth-spinners like President-elect Donald Trump. Smack dab in the middle of this piece lamenting the end of reliable news was a fake news story claiming Alec Baldwin was dead at 58. Gizmodo Media Group executive editor John Cook took a...

NYT Hires Reporter Who Sent Stories to Clinton Campaign for Approval
by Shifra on December 12, 2016This self-described “hack” will be covering the White House for the NYT, where he will most likely entertain the liberals with fake news stories about the Trump Administration. Via Daily Caller. Politico’s Glenn Thrush, who was exposed in WikiLeaks emails sending stories to Hillary Clinton staffers before publication, will be joining the New York Times to cover the White House, The Huffington Post reported Monday. “We’re thrilled that Glenn Thrush is joining The Times,” Elisabeth Bumiller, The New York Times’ Washington bureau chief, told The Huffington Post. “He’s a premier political journalist, a master of breaking news and long-form story telling and a stellar addition to our White House team.” While Bumiller described Thrush as a “premier political journalist,” in...

Fawning NYT Columnist Calls Hillary’s Shriek ‘Unscripted Joy in the Rain’
by Shifra on November 7, 2016Unscripted joy? Really? Sounded more to me like I’ll get you, my pretty, and your little dog too! HT NewsBusters. Via NYT. The moment lasts about 45 seconds. But in it, so much of the cautious stagecraft that surrounds and inhibits Hillary Clinton appears to break away. Mrs. Clinton, pelted by a driving rain and seemingly overcome by exhaustion, exhilaration and a swirling wind, lets loose with her hands and relinquishes her script. She skips past a critique of Donald J. Trump, flipping the page in her binder, and races to her closing lines. “Here’s what I want you to remember,” she tells the crowd at a rally on Saturday in Pembroke Pines, Fla. “I want to be the president...

FL Paper Apologizes to Readers for Anti-Trump Coverage: “You Deserve More Balance”
by Shifra on October 31, 2016Yes, definitely a Flying Pigs moment. Via BizPac Review. A central Florida newspaper has apologized to its readers for the decidedly anti-Donald Trump coverage that has been published during the election. The Daily Commercial published an editorial titled “The media, the election and bias” on Oct. 23 that explained the paper is reliant on wire services for much of its election coverage and those reports are weighted heavily against Trump. “The Daily Commercial hasn’t done enough to mitigate the anti-Trump wave in the pages of this paper,” it wrote. “You deserve a more balanced approach to the coverage of elections and other weighty issues.”…. Here’s the mea culpa: The Daily Commercial hasn’t done enough to mitigate the anti-Trump wave in...

LA Times Wants Rumored ‘Apprentice’ Tape, Won’t Release Obama-Khalidi Video
by Shifra on October 13, 2016As reported by Breitbart and other Conservative news outlets, the LA Times is in possession of a 2003 video of Obama at the farewell party of radical Palestinian, Jew-hating Rashid Khalidi, and reportedly features vicious anti-Israel rhetoric. The LA Times, however, will not release the video. But they sure are eager to get their paws hands on a rumored video of Donald Trump that might embarrass him. Via Breitbart. The Los Angeles Times is in a state of high dudgeon over rumored video tapes from The Apprentice that might embarrass Republican nominee Donald Trump, but which cannot be released. Since 2008, the Times has refused to release the video of then-State Sen. Barack Obama attending a retirement party for radical...

Were Phone Cameras Banned at Debate to Avoid ‘Triggering Hillary’s Seizure Disorder’ ?
by Shifra on October 11, 2016At the townhall event in St. Louis on Sunday evening, the Secret Service banned people from using their cell phones to take pictures, and it was reported that they handed out disposable cameras. If this was to prevent Hillary from having a seizure, (exposure to flashing lights at certain intensities or to certain visual patterns can trigger seizures), then the media outlets covering for Hillary are even more despicable than we thought. Via American Mirror. New York City’s WPIX aired a round up segment Monday morning on Sunday’s presidential debate, and ended it with the reporter and the morning show anchors taking photos with disposable cameras. The report made note that electronic cameras were banned from the event at Washington...

WaPo: Hillary Clinton… ‘Style Icon’
by Shifra on September 21, 2016Somebody over at the Washington Post needs eyeglasses. Or a copy of Vogue… Via Free Beacon. The Washington Post’s fashion critic is calling Hillary Clinton a “style icon” that is influencing top designer’s runway shows. Comparing Clinton to the “not a great beauty” Georgia O’Keefe, Robin Givhan says designers are being inspired by the Democratic presidential nominee’s “strength.” “But beyond cut and color, designers are obsessing about strong and powerful women who are independent and enduring — perhaps even a bit scandalous,” Givhan wrote Friday. “There has been talk of O’Keeffe, Germaine Greer, Gloria Steinem, influential mothers and grandmothers — and of course, Hillary Clinton.”…. While she has called Melania Trump a “professional pretty person” whose “livelihood was based on...

AP Deletes Tweet of Hillary Collapse Video
by Shifra on September 12, 2016Because they don’t have “distribution rights.” You need “distribution rights” to link to a private citizen’s tweet? Who knew? Via American Mirror. ….While the AP may not have express distribution rights, nothing stops them from tweeting a link to the amateur video — except maybe bias or an effort to limit the damage to Hillary Clinton’s presidential prospects…. The AP has deleted a tweet of video of Hillary Clinton after the 9/11 memorial ceremony as we no longer have distribution rights. — The Associated Press (@AP) September 12, 2016 Hillary Clinton 9/11 NYC pic.twitter.com/q9YnsjTxss — Zdenek Gazda (@zgazda66) September 11, 2016 ****************************************************

Hot Mic Catches Reuters Ordering Cameraman To Cut Feed For Pastor’s Trump Blessing
by Shifra on September 5, 2016This is outrageous and disgraceful. Whoever ordered this should be fired. Via American Mirror. Reuters was reportedly the only news service to be providing video coverage of Donald Trump’s visit to a Detroit church on Saturday, and a mystery voice could be overheard ordering someone to “shut down” the feed before the event had concluded. Bishop Wayne T. Jackson was presenting Trump with a prayer shawl and two Bibles when a hushed voice off camera could be heard saying, “I’m shooting this, I don’t care what…” Moments later, the same voice said “Shut this down?” “Shut it, yeah,” another voice said. “Yes, Michael. Do it.” “Blackout.” Just then the camera begins to shake as if it’s being moved and the...

(Video) CBS Hosts Grill Kaine on Hillary’s Lack of Press Conferences
by Shifra on September 1, 2016Finally! An actual question from the MSM challenging Queen Hillary’s campaign. And bonus follow-up question! Oh wait, was that a pig flying by my window? Via Washington Examiner. The hosts of “CBS This Morning” peppered Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., with questions Thursday morning about Hillary Clinton’s lack of press availability, prompting the Democratic nominee’s running mate to hint her campaign will be more open with reporters in the near future. The moment occurred as the the hosts discussed a joint press conference this week in Mexico City between GOP nominee Donald Trump and President Enrique Pena Nieto. “[Trump] immediately opened up the floor to reporters for questions. When will we see Hillary open up the floor and take questions from...

NYT ‘All The News That’s Fit to Print’ Finds Clinton Foundation Story ‘Unfit to Print’
by Shifra on August 24, 2016I used to say the NYT was great…for lining a bird cage. But lately, it seems the NYT has proven itself to be unfit…even for bird droppings. Via Fox News. If you look hard enough, you find there’s usually a reason for everything — even at The New York Times. But whatever the reason — maybe it was the story about a parasite jeopardizing fly fishing in Montana, or those Russian hackers who attacked the Gray Lady’s Moscow bureau — the latest Clinton Foundation bombshell couldn’t be found among “All the News That’s Fit to Print.” The Associated Press scoop Tuesday found that at least 85 of 154 people who got an audience with Hillary Clinton while she led the...

Moonbat WaPo ‘Exposé’: Donald Trump Pulled a Girl’s Pigtails in Elementary School!
by Shifra on August 23, 2016With such a riveting, in-depth piece of investigative journalism, probably will earn a Pulitzer Prize. Or something. Via NewsBusters. CBS This Morning on Monday eagerly hyped a new expose by the Washington Post: As a child, Donald Trump pulled pigtails and threw rocks at kids. This is the same Washington Post that went after Mitt Romney for allegedly forcing a haircut on another boy in 1965. Talking to reporters Marc Fisher and Michael Kranish, CBS co-host Norah O’Donnell wondered, “You go all the way back to his childhood to help reveal some of Donald Trump. What did you learn?” Post editor Marc Fisher revealed the not-so-startling revelations: “We learned as he once said, he hasn’t changed since second grade. Keep...

Gwen Ifill Gets Award For ‘Biggest Lib Hack,’ Er, ‘Commitment to Fairness’
by Shifra on August 11, 2016Gwen Ifill is one of the most partisan Dem-water-carrying NPR hacks in the field of “journalism,” and I use the term very loosely. Via Newsbusters. On Wednesday, Columbia University’s Journalism School announced that liberal PBS NewsHour anchor Gwen Ifill would be the recipient of the graduate program’s 2016 John Chancellor Award. The school’s dean, Steve Coll, laughably justified honoring Ifill for “her unflinching pursuit of the truth, healthy skepticism of those in power and her commitment to fairness.”…. In reality, Ifill has a long history of liberal bias throughout her career at PBS. On numerous occasions she has been scolded by the network’s ombudsman for openly displaying her partisan political views…. Despite such repeated offenses, Ifill still gets applauded by...

Clueless MSNBC Host Baffled By ‘Mystery’ of ‘Coincidental’ Iran $400M Payment
by Shifra on August 5, 2016Here’s something really baffling: How did these dunces ever get on TV to spout such idiotic comments? Via NewsBusters. On her MSNBC show on Thursday, host Andrea Mitchell bemoaned the Obama administration’s “unforced error” in sending Iran $400 million at the exact same time American hostages were released from Tehran in January. She was puzzled by the decision: “…they never explained that this other money was going – the $400 million. It’s unrelated to the nuclear deal. Why do it on the same day?” Washington Post political correspondent Anne Gearan was equally baffled: “It’s a mystery why, exactly. They didn’t need to do it that day, there was nothing in particular forcing their hand that we know of to do...

AP Celebrates 90th Birthday of Castro, “Source of Inspiration” For People Everywhere
by Shifra on August 3, 2016Yes, a “source of inspiration,” for murdering thugs everywhere. Fidel Castro, responsible for the deaths of thousands and for the misery of millions, turns 90 on August 13th. So brace yourselves for a love-fest from the Left-wing media. Via NewsBusters. Five years ago, the Associated Press was so excited about the imminent 85th birthday of Fidel Castro, Communist Cuba’s dictator emeritus, that its Images Group promoted a package of “iconic images and videos” subscribing outlets could purchase and use. It described Castro as a “source of inspiration for many people throughout the world.” Thus, it should surprise no one that the wire service, which has been credibly accused of active cooperation with Adolf Hitler’s Nazi propaganda machine during the eight...
