Fake News Unhinged MSM Needs to Get A Grip



Fake News Unhinged MSM Needs to Get A Grip We can attribute the popularization of the term: "Lies, lies, damned lies, and statistics" to the great Mark Twain, who attributed it to British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli: "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics." That was back in the day before the mainstream media adopted "lies, damned lies, and statistics." as their own. MSM leaders, such as the Washington Post and New York Times will never call "Fake News' what it really is--lies, damned lies and statistics--but their readers certainly can.
Before dropping it onto the doorstep of the conservative media, the MSM invented the term "Fake Media" in the wake of a presidential election whose outcome they refuse to accept. Ever since, MSM 'journalists' are paid to sit around and conjure lies, the more salacious, the better, which get printed as truth. In order to advance their political agenda of lies, damned lies and statistics they borrowed from the well-known Marxist trickery of projection. They expect all readers, television viewers and radio listeners to believe that it isn't the mainstream media passing off lies as news but those dirty rotten scoundrels in the conservative media who are the real must-be-stopped purveyors of "fake news". Unquestionably erudite friends in Academe moved in to seal MSM lies as the truth, the whole truth and nothing but. Last week Harvard University Library came up with a widely circulated "Fake News" list and Canada Free Press (CFP) was on it. There we were, as far as we know the only Canadian News Outlet on the list, right up there with Breitbart, the Drudge Report, among others. Columnist and CFP Associate Editor Arthur Weinreb thought we should wear being named on the Harvard Library "Fake News" hit list as a badge of honor and we do. Up to now we thought Liars Incorporated had been cheerfully unaware of us.

Since we have no connection of any kind to Harvard Library, we assume that 'someone' wth an axe to grind must have sent in our name and conclude, "Wonder WHO?" Meanwhile, over-the-top exaggerations are accepted without question by the lie-loving MSM. Pink pu**y posse leader Michael Moore now claims that President Donald Trump will "cause human extinction", sending Trump-hating billionaires Ralph Cramden-like to the moon in hopes of survival. Chris Matthews is somewhere out there comparing Ivanka and Jared Kushner to Saddam Hussein's sons, and Hollywood in general portrays President Donald Trump as "Hitler-like". Barbra Streisand and Lena Dunham, putting on weight, blame Trump and not what they consume for piling on the pounds. Snowflakes in 'safe spaces' on college campus cringe in fear that Trump and his supporters are out to get them. Over-the-top exaggeration, welcome in MSM headlines, is an ugly step-sister to "Fake News". "Fake News" was a housefly slammed with the sledge hammer of Herman Cain writer, Dan Calabrese when the Washington Post falsely claimed that the Trump administration tried to block Sally Yates from congressional testimony:
"It's not exactly breaking news that the Washington Post lies. We've been down this road before. And you should always be very skeptical when any media outlet claims that it "has learned" something without telling you how they supposedly learned it. But you can't learn something that ain't so, however much you may want to pretend otherwise. So if you were skeptical when you read this, stick a gold star on your forehead: "The Trump administration sought to block former acting attorney general Sally Yates from testifying to Congress in the House investigation of links between Russian officials and Donald Trump's presidential campaign, The Washington Post has learned, a position that is likely to further anger Democrats who have accused Republicans of trying to damage the inquiry. "According to letters The Post reviewed, the Justice Department notified Yates earlier this month that the administration considers a great deal of her possible testimony to be barred from discussion in a congressional hearing because the topics are covered by the presidential communication privilege.

"No, the Washington Post has not learned that, because that is not true. The Washington Post read some correspondence concerning Yates' possible testimony, and then either totally butchered its explanation of what it all meant or flat-out lied about it. Being that we're dealing with the Post, my money would be on them lying, but what I know for sure is that they didn't get it anywhere close to right. "Here's Sean # ripping them a new one for messing up the story as abysmally as they did, which was very abysmal indeed:
"Now how could you possibly get "Trump tried to block Yates from testifying" out of the documents the Post saw? Either they didn't see all the documents, in which case they had no business claiming to have "learned" anything because they didn't have the complete picture - and apparently made no effort to get it by asking anyone . . . or, they jumped to conclusions about the documents they did see based on their built-in bias and preconceived notions about how the Trump Administration operates." # has a front row center seat to the raving lies of the mainstream media, who, just like their Hollywood and entertainment industry heroes, are becoming more and more unhinged by day. Only yesterday he took on blowhard April Ryan, the Washington bureau chief for American Radio networks, who wanted to know how the administration will "revamp its image" in regards to a variety of issues from the president' first two months in office--including Trump's connection to Russia. "Interrupting Ryan, # firmly asserted, "I've said it from the day that I got here until whatever that there is no connection. You've got Russia. If the President puts Russian salad dressing on his salad tonight, somehow that's a Russian connection." (People, March 28, 2017)


Failing to get the topic automatically switched back to Trump's "Russian connection" Ryan sat shaking her head with # admonishing her: "Stop shaking your head!"
"Tweeted Ryan after the briefing, "Lawd!" " 20-year veteran White House press corps member tells PEOPLE she was not shaking her head. "I dropped my head. I was listening to him and thinking of my next question." (People)
Generic mental Tweet from the Peanut Gallery: "Oh, brother!" Before "Make America Great Again" has to be switched over to "Make America SANE Again", isn't it high time for # to tell the mainstream media to "get a grip!" As the MSM competes with Hollywood for our daily entertainment, like Hollywood they're getting more and more unhinged by day, and people who are unhinged should be stopped from being allowed to go any further. Questions that should be put to the mainstream media next time they put their unhinged selves on full display: "Are you for real?" "Are we safe from physical harm in your presence?" People who insist on replacing the truth with lies, people who allow themselves to travel all the way to the dangerous state of unhinged are a threat to civil society. Don' t forget to bring the straitjackets to your very next presser, Mr. #.
