Lamestream Media Double Standards and Fake News

[DKG]

While Americans on both sides of the political aisle debate whether President Joe Biden should have pardoned his son, one entry into the discourse made an astoundingly embarrassing error.

The Esquire magazine article by Charles P. Pierce lambasted Republicans for criticizing Biden based on the historical precedent of Republican former President George H.W. Bush pardoning his own son Neil Bush. The problem is that this incident never happened. It's completely fabricated.

Eventually, the humiliating error was discovered, and Esquire issued a correction:

Editor's note: This story has been updated. An earlier version stated incorrectly that George H.W. Bush gave a presidential pardon to his son, Neil Bush. Esquire regrets the error.
Finally, the outlet deleted the story altogether.

Esquire was mercilessly ridiculed for the mistake.

Esquire is irrelevant.

This isnt the first time this has happened. The fabricated Bush story has cropped up a few times although I cant remember the details.

Sen. Mike Lee (R) called out NBC News' "Meet the Press" and anchor Kristen Welker on Sunday for omitting six important words from the 14th Amendment.

Speaking with President-elect Donald Trump about his plan to end birthright citizenship — which grants United States citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil — Welker tried to suggest the plan is unconstitutional by citing the first sentence of Section 1 of the 14th Amendment.

After Trump confirmed that ending birthright citizenship is "absolutely" his plan, Welker said, "The 14th Amendment, though, says that, quote, 'All persons born in the United States are citizens.'"

But there is a significant problem with Welker's quote, according to Lee.

In fact, Welker omitted six words from the first sentence of Section 1 of the 14th Amendment — and those "words matter," Lee explained.

Here is what the beginning of Section 1 of the 14th Amendment actually says:

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside.
This means that Welker omitted the phrase, "and subject to the jurisdiction thereof," to create the illusion that Trump would be acting unconstitutionally if he sought to outlaw birthright citizenship.

Joy Reid was offered a pay cut to keep her job. The race-obsessed Reid's show bled nearly 50% of its audience after the election. MSNBC also cut Rachel Maddow's annual salary by $5 million.

MSNBC could save even more by firing those two and replacing them with reruns of Sanford and Son.

I suppose that would depend on what 'subject to the jurisdiction thereof' means.

If it means "You will be arrested if you break the law" then everyone is subject to the jurisdiction.

But if that's the case there's no reason for it to even be in the amendment.

What I do know is that Kristin Welker omitted those words.

It would be the best business decision they ever made.

In a recent story titled "The Cruel Kids' Table," New York magazine writer Brock Colyar claimed that a new generation of young Republicans — "casually cruel Trumpers," he labeled them — are "conquering Washington."

The story's feature photo exhibits a group of poshly dressed, mostly Caucasian young adults celebrating the first night of Donald Trump's presidency at a swanky party thrown in honor of 30 influencers who played a pivotal role in Trump's election. In the article, Colyar, who attended the event, corroborated the story's feature image with a quote from an unnamed attendee: "Almost everyone is white."

Further, black party attendees were purposely cropped out of the article's feature photo.

In response to the story, Pearson tweeted: "I hosted this event and @NYMag intentionally left me out of their story because it would have undermined their narrative that MAGA is some racist cult."

Now Pearson meets with Glenn Beck to shed light on what is clearly another attempt by the mainstream media to perpetuate lies about Donald Trump and his supporters.

Except that was a lie.

Conservative black influencer and RNC Youth Advisory Council co-chairman CJ Pearson, who hosted the event, was intentionally left out of the story, as were other minorities in attendance, some of whom are big-name celebrities, like American rapper Waka Flocka Flame and American professional boxer Gervonta Davis.

CNN anchor Jim Acosta, a vehement Trump critic, has left the network where he's worked since 2007.

Mark Levin watches an old clip from a 2018 press conference, in which Acosta attempted to start a debate over illegal immigration with President Trump.

That wanker Juan Williams was crushed online for saying 'only white men need apply' under Trump.

"How can you say that? Marco Rubio is Hispanic. Kash Patel is Indian. Do I need to mention the many women in his administration? What's wrong with you?" read one response.

"To be clear, you ignore all the women in Trump's administration because they're female, and your 'women' are males. Is that right?" said another detractor.
