USA Today Blatantly Works To Whitewash Democrat Hacks As ‘Nonpartisan’

Published

on

A “Conservative think tank leader” is now calling for “banning charities from voter registration efforts,” or so a recent USA Today headline reads. The “Conservative think tank leader,” my boss, Scott Walter, has very good reasons for calling for this, though if you read the article in full, you might be uncertain what those reasons are. That’s because the reasons were not discussed at all. Instead, the article is full of platitudes from the worst partisan offender in the “charitable” get-out-the-vote industry, the Voter Participation Center (VPC).

It’s the now-classic “conservatives seize” or “Republicans pounce” framing, a narrative trick that the American media is famous for, wherein the reaction to a scandal — rather than the scandal itself — is portrayed as the center of a story (but only if that scandal makes a figure or group on the left look bad).

In this case, the “pouncing” occurred in response to a story by Andrew Kerr of The Washington Free Beacon. The story broke the news the VPC had purchased “register to vote” ads on Facebook and Instagram that were specifically filtered so that they would not be shown to users interested in topics and hobbies commonly associated with Republican voters. “Excluded” topics included NASCAR, Duck Dynasty, Ted Nugent, modified Jeeps, and the PGA Tour. Letters from multiple Republican legislators inquiring about an investigation into the VPC soon followed.

Did USA Today mention these obviously partisan ad filters? Of course not — even though IRS rules clearly state that charities

Lying Media Rush To Smear Trump, Defend Warhawk Liz Cheney

Published

on

When former President Donald Trump criticized former Rep. Liz Cheney for trying to push Americans into war, the legacy media rushed to her defense, twisting Trump’s words to make it seem like he was threatening her with a firing squad. 

“She’s a radical warhawk. Let’s put her with a rifle, standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, okay? Let’s see how she feels about it, when the guns are trained on her face. They’re all warhawks when they’re sitting in Washington in a nice building saying, ‘Gee, let’s send 10,000 troops right into the mouth of the enemy,’” Trump said Thursday at a campaign event with Tucker Carlson. 

Clearly, Trump was saying Cheney wants to send Americans to die in overseas wars. He pointed out she — and other D.C. elites in the military-industrial complex — would never put themselves in the positions they are placing the nation’s soldiers. 

“I’d have meetings with a lot of people, and she always wanted to go to war with people,” Trump said.

But legacy media, in typical style, cherry-picked Trump’s comments to make it seem he — not Cheney — was inciting violence. 

“Trump uses violent rhetoric to attack ‘war hawk’ Liz Cheney,” reads a headline from Good Morning America. The host attacked Trump and applauded Harris during Friday morning’s show

She said Trump was using “increasing dark and violent rhetoric against his political rivals … even suggesting former House Republican leader Liz Cheney, who has endorsed Kamala Harris, be put in

Vance Says The Problem With The Washington Post Lies In Its ‘Journalism,’ ‘Not With The Editorials’

Published

on

Republican vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance diagnosed the problems with the Washington Post as residing in the paper’s overall “journalism” rather than just on the editorial page.

“The Washington Post might as well be a propaganda outlet of the Democratic Party,” Vance said during an interview on Joe Rogan’s podcast published Thursday. “If you look from the Hunter Biden laptop to any number of stories where they just toe the left-wing line almost instinctively, the problem was with the journalism at the Washington Post. It’s not with the editorials.”

Vance spoke after The Washington Post’s senior leadership ignited a media meltdown last week for their refusal to formally back a presidential candidate this cycle. Vice President Kamala Harris is the first Democrat not to receive an official endorsement from the Post’s editorial board since 1992. More than a dozen opinion columnists for the paper condemned the decision of the Post with a joint statement published shortly after the announcement.

“This is a moment for the institution to be making clear its commitment to democratic values, the rule of law and international alliances, and the threat that Donald Trump poses to them — the precise points

USPS Failing To Deliver Ballots Is The New Normal Under Democrats’ Mail Voting Regime

Published

on

The United States Postal Service (USPS) said Monday they expect their “Election Mail performance in 2024 to be equal to or better than 2020.” But that doesn’t suffice when an election will be decided on the margins and numerous voters across the country are reporting that they never received the mail-in ballots that they requested.

In Scarborough, Maine, one voter told WGME that she voted in person on Monday because the mail in ballot she previously requested never arrived. It’s a similar story told by fellow Scarborough voter Glenn Grant, who reportedly wanted to vote by mail.

“But the ballot has never come, which says something about our mail service,” Grant told WGME.

Meanwhile USPS “failed to deliver an unknown number of ballots in Coos County, Oregon, and it didn’t deliver up to 300 ballots in Whitman County, Washington,” The Associated Press reported, citing election officials. Coos County Clerk Julie Brecke said her office has received nonstop calls due to ballots not arriving “as a result of an error at USPS,” according to The AP.

Meanwhile Whitman County said that a third-party vendor delivered roughly 24,000 ballots to the post office on Oct. 16 where they were all marked. But roughly 300 ballots are still missing.

“I don’t know where they went after that,” Whitman County Auditor Sandy Jamison said, according to The Associated Press.

In Bend, Oregon, the USPS claimed it has finally caught up with mail deliveries after several residents reported having not received their Nov.
