It’s almost as if they don’t want us to know the truth about Ukraine

  I’ve said several times in these pages that both Russia and Ukraine are far from blameless in the current war.  Both sides have been duplicitous, dishonest, and downright criminal in their behavior, and both nations are ruled by utterly corrupt individuals and organizations. We know a lot about Russian corruption and criminality through various… Continue reading It’s almost as if they don’t want us to know the truth about Ukraine

The Ukraine War: Take everything you hear from both sides with a very large pinch of salt

  The propaganda is flying thick and fast over the war in Ukraine.  The US mainstream media are apparently bending over backwards to publicize and popularize the talking points of the Biden administration, and the hawks in both the Republican and Democratic parties (who basically never met a war they didn’t like) are beating their… Continue reading The Ukraine War: Take everything you hear from both sides with a very large pinch of salt

In Memoriam: Patrick Jake O’Rourke

  Humorist, war correspondent, writer and columnist P. J. O’Rourke has died at the age of 74.  Often labeled as a conservative or right-winger, he was far from the stereotypical images evoked by those labels, carving out his own niche and unafraid to criticize those on the right as much (and as pungently) as he… Continue reading In Memoriam: Patrick Jake O’Rourke

ZING!!!

  Following Chris Cuomo’s dismissal by CNN last December, the network’s head honcho, Jeff Zucker, announced his resignation yesterday after it became known he was having an intimate relationship with a subordinate that he should have acknowledged, but didn’t.  It’s rumored that Cuomo’s lawyers may have cited Zucker’s relationship in their negotiations with CNN and… Continue reading ZING!!!

The “Corporate State”, and why it targets the right – but not the left

  There’s an interesting and thought-provoking article at the Daily Bell.  It’s titled “Why the Corporate State Doesn’t Target the American Left“.  Here’s a short excerpt. When Biden’s executive branch sets its internal security apparatus sights on “domestic extremists” (intelligence jargon for any group or individual who deviates from the corporate state narrative), The Daily… Continue reading The “Corporate State”, and why it targets the right – but not the left

News media: the journalistic rot sets in yet again

  The lockstep political orthodoxy now enforced by so many American news and social media outlets appears to have spread just as widely in Canada.  Former Canadian Broadcasting Corporation journalist Tara Henley has the story. When I started at the national public broadcaster in 2013, the network produced some of the best journalism in the… Continue reading News media: the journalistic rot sets in yet again

“Where I Live, No One Cares About COVID”

  That’s the title of an article in – of all outlets! – the progressive-left-wing, over-the-top-about-the-pandemic Atlantic.  Writing from Michigan, the author notes: I don’t mean to deny COVID’s continuing presence … What I wish to convey is that the virus simply does not factor into my calculations or those of my neighbors, who have been forgoing… Continue reading “Where I Live, No One Cares About COVID”

Watch Big Brother’s propaganda machine at work in Waukesha

  Sundance points out that the Department of Justice’s Community Relations Service is moving in to take control of the portrayal of the domestic terrorist attack on the parade in Waukesha.  They’re trying to dictate the message, to take attention away from the reality of the situation. The mass killing of white people in Wisconsin… Continue reading Watch Big Brother’s propaganda machine at work in Waukesha

Remember, the news media are in lockstep with each other and are NOT independent

  Anyone with half a working brain cell knows that our news media are politicized, biased, and untrustworthy.  What few keep in mind is that they’re controlled by a very few corporations and individuals.  Do please follow those two links.  You’ll be astonished at the intricate web of control they exercise. The result is that… Continue reading Remember, the news media are in lockstep with each other and are NOT independent

When the news media fall over their own feet…

  This correction is utterly priceless! I’m not a fan or follower of DJT Jr., but in this case I have to admit, he’s nailed it.  What was the Washington Post thinking of, to make so bald-faced an admission – in other words, confessing that one of its editors deliberately lied – that leaves it with egg… Continue reading When the news media fall over their own feet…
