The Liberal Media Is Getting Slaughtered

I wish I could say it’s a proper market correction because people were tired of their lies and fake news narratives being published, but it’s not. It might partially be due to that, but the ad bubble burst, and those days will never return. The liberal media is bleeding all over, with some newsrooms being decimated over revenue issues. As Axios wrote this morning, it’s a “bloodbath.” We saw the first signs of this in the early 2010s when news outlets began curbing local beats.

The $$ billions $$ in narrative control must be drying up as Trump is dominating across the board. Lets hope some of the fired expose all the corruption in the industry.

The Legacy Media have failed at their job of informing us, and now must lose their jobs for having failed so badly. I won't be sorry to see vestiges of the MSM "fall by the wayside," as Newt once said. If they stay in business, the USA continues to decline rapidly. These faux journalists could always learn to code, which is what Obama told coal miners whose jobs he wanted to eliminate a decade and a half ago.

We should all chip in to buy a nice set of kitchen knives to help with the slicing & dicing. This media RIF will be no big loss because besides being progressive propagandists, many in the media are idiots as well. There will simply be less screeching in the echo chamber.

Way back in the day, I worked for a local regional newspaper chain. It was late 80s, early 90s. Even back then, cable had made "news" old news. By the time it got to print and distributed, it had been covered already. The only thing that local papers had going for them was local news. And the diehard liberals in charge insisted they could compete with the national chains by running AP stories and ignoring the local news. Last I heard, it's down to one paper, which is a once-weekly tabloid sized bunch of ads with some high school sports in it.

Now let’s make it happen to CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, NBC and the rest of them. The article states that these print/internet outlets are drowning. Rather than knives, #4, how about we throw them a bunch of anvils?

The news outlets that are still surviving are being propped up by leftist and government dollars, not the people. If not for multi-billionaire Bezos, the Washington Post would be just a memory. Customers of Amazon are keeping that propaganda rag going. The millions of dollars supporting the New York Times almost certainly is coming from a US Government black budget, given their total support of the corrupt Biden administration and their daily dose of venom being spat at Donald Trump and the rest of us Deplorables. The LA Times is in its death throes. They all had a nice left-leaning ride going but nobody is buying tickets these days. Like their hero and mentor, Joseph Goebbels, they all will eventually die.

The fake news has been catering to the young crowd...who could care less about print news...the are the tech nuts...and print news has to rely on companies buying advertisement to fund their operation...which is drying up because WE old folks watch Newsmax and read Breitbart ...so the generation with the money has not latched onto the woke left's narrative....and their left agenda is suffering....and BTW...

Many moons ago I noticed that local rags had very little local, anything. I started checking the bylines and other details. They used many, many Washington Post and NY Times articles. I had already ceased reading the locals. From time to time I would look, not purchasing, and verify they were still doing the same thing.

President Joe Biden confirmed Sunday three U.S. service members were killed and 25 others wounded in an Iranian backed drone attack in Jordan Saturday. In his statement, Biden claimed there will be some kind of response. "The three American service members we lost were patriots in the highest sense. And their ultimate sacrifice will never be forgotten by our nation. Together, we will keep the sacred obligation we bear to their families," Biden released in a statement. "We will strive to be worthy of their honor and valor. We will carry on their commitment to fight terrorism. And have no doubt -- we will hold all those responsible to account

As I reported previously, Joe Biden had a wild time during his visit to South Carolina on Saturday. They did have him make a formal speech in a suit, and that didn't go over well. He had some severe and scary incoherent moments. But perhaps the worst thing was when he freaked out and started screaming about President Donald Trump and the "suckers" and "losers" hoax, claiming that Trump refused to go to a cemetery that included WWII American soldiers in France. That was untrue; it was a visit canceled because of bad weather and several advisors debunked the claim about "suckers" and "losers." During his rant,

I've written about Joe Biden's disastrous trip to South Carolina. It was jam-packed with incoherence and weirdness, including Biden going to a black barbershop, pandering, and making a weird comment to a man about how if Biden had him blocking for him, he could have been an All-American. He also freaked out and started screaming about former President Donald Trump spreading the false story that Trump refused to go to Aisne-Marne American cemetery with American WWII dead and called our fallen soldiers "suckers" and "losers." Not only has that been debunked, but Biden even mentioned his son, as though his son were one of the people buried there,

President Joe Biden recently met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and the exchange was incredibly revealing. While it didn't reveal anything about Israel's resolve to take out Hamas, the terrorist government of Gaza that massacred over a thousand people on October 7th, breaking a long-running ceasefire, what it did do is show where Biden's motivations truly lie. In short, it's not pretty or reassuring.

While the media environment in this country has been going through some bad years, it appears things are only becoming worse. This week alone, we have watched the Los Angeles Times gutting over 20 percent of its newsroom, Forbes has announced it will be cutting staff, and Business Insider has come out to say it, too, will be encountering layoffs. There is carnage in the news industry, but what is remarkable is that journalists – allegedly pledged to digging into stories and researching facts – are unwilling to look into what is behind the problems. Reporters have plenty of soapboxes but, surprisingly, very few mirrors. Following the the announced news

Joe Biden was in Superior, Wisconsin, and Duluth, Minnesota, on Thursday, trying to inject some life into his sputtering 2024 campaign. When he visited a brewery in Superior, he sounded like he had sampled a little too much of the wares, but unfortunately, I think it was just him. He was so incoherent you couldn't understand what he was trying to say at one point, and he continued that incoherence throughout his remarks. He was also introduced as the "big guy" — his nickname that was used in the messages in the Biden family business scandal. What makes it worse is that the audiences he's speaking to —
‘Re-Orientation’ Asks UW Law Students
To Share Racial Slurs And Confess ‘How

A mandatory “re-orientation” for first-year University of Wisconsin Law School students last week included a survey prompting participants to share racial slurs and instruction that colorblindness is bad and that racial minorities cannot be racist, according to a source who attended Friday’s session. Like other euphemistically-titled “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI) programming, the presentation on Friday preached the usual dogmas of Marxist-steeped critical race theory and “anti-racism” that have infiltrated U.S. college campuses, the source said. These doctrines teach that the United States — particularly its legal system — is systemically racist, that “whiteness” must be “dismantled,” and that the only solution to past racism is reverse racism.
Nitrogen hypoxia: Why Alabama's execution
of Kenneth Smith stirs ethical controversy.
18 replies
Posted by Hazymac 1/25/2024 9:26:22 AM Post Reply
Alabama was set to carry out the first-ever execution by nitrogen hypoxia on death row inmate Kenneth Eugene Smith on Thursday. The planned execution raises heated questions about the ethics of using the untried method to execute Smith, who has been through one previous execution attempt. If the execution is carried out, nitrogen hypoxia would be the first new method of execution since 1982, when the lethal injection was introduced. What is nitrogen hypoxia? Nitrogen hypoxia is a form of execution in which an inmate is deprived of oxygen until they breath only nitrogen, causing asphyxiation. Nitrogen, a colorless, odorless gas, makes up about 80% of the air we breathe. It isn't deadly until

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Wednesday rejected an Alabama death row inmate’s last-minute request for a stay of execution, moving him a step closer to being put to death using an untested method: nitrogen gas. Kenneth Smith, sentenced to death for murdering Elizabeth Sennett in 1988, objected to being executed by nitrogen hypoxia because of the potential for the state to botch the procedure. He alleged it would violate his right to be free of cruel and unusual punishment under the Eighth Amendment to the Constitution. He is scheduled to be executed on Thursday. The brief court order simply noted that Smith's application was denied. No justices publicly dissented.

Does he understand that more production of food means more emissions of oxygen and less production of food means fewer emissions?

The photo, which shows Biden wearing (a) hard hat backwards, was included in the Snopes article that first called the story false.

This is the first time that US troops have been killed by enemy fire in the Middle East since the beginning of the war in Gaza. According to CENTCOM, the attack took place at a base in northeast Jordan. CENTCOM stated that the identities of the servicemembers will be withheld until 24 hours after their next of kin have been notified.

Spencer compared observed warming in the U.S. corn belt during the summer, between 1973 and 2022–a 50-year period–with the warming that was predicted by the major climate models. He found that all of the models yielded more warming than actually occurred, most to an absurd degree.
