Jarring Number of Defamation Lawsuits
Have Corporate Media on Its Heels
Posted By: Hazymac, 7/29/2024 9:13:52 AM
Want to see the dichotomy of the media on display? Consider how, over the course of 2024, there has been no shortage of energetic coverage of Donald Trump and his lawfare trials. Not just the courtroom antics either, as Trump’s mugshot was blasted across every broadcast for the better part of a week. For at least two of the indictments, we were granted live coverage of Trump commuting to the airport to fly to the destination of his court appearance. Despite the hyperventilating coverage of the former president’s legal wranglings, other court cases involving the media are receiving scant attention; this is for obvious reasons.

This might be one of the more egregious recent examples of a deliberate effort by a social media site to put its thumb on the political scale favoring Democrats over Republicans. Facebook is admitting that labeling the iconic photo of a blood-streaked Trump raising his fist in defiance after the attempt on his life as "misinformation" as "an error."
“Yes, this was an error,” Dani Lever of Meta wrote on X. Her post was in response to Charlie Kirk's observation that Facebook was not allowing users to share the photo, the New York Post reported.

Bella Hadid has spoken out about her involvement in Adidas’ controversial Munich Olympics-themed ad that sparked outrage.
On Monday, the model and activist posted a message to her Instagram Story, expressing her “disappointment in the lack of sensitivity that went into this campaign.”
“I would never knowingly engage with any art or work that is linked to a horrific tragedy of any kind,” she wrote. Earlier this month, the brand unveiled an ad featuring Hadid holding a “coveted classic” sneaker from the ’70s to honor the 52nd anniversary of the Munich Olympics.

Three people have been arrested and two others are being sought for the ambush killing of Florida rapper Julio Foolio last month, officials said.
The 26-year-old victim, whose legal name was Charles Jones, died on 23 June after his vehicle came under a barrage of gunfire in a car park of a hotel in Tampa.
Hotel surveillance footage released by police shows the attackers dressed in black wearing masks as they take up their positions in the car park, opening fire with two semi-automatic rifles and one pistol.
The rapper was killed during a weekend of birthday events that he had previously announced on social media.

Venezuelan Dictator Nicolas Maduro was declared the "winner" of the presidential election by the nation's election council on Monday morning. That came after exit polls showed him losing by as much as 30 points. Reports of Maduro's armed thugs closing down polling sites and stealing ballot boxes were prevalent throughout the process, all but confirming that the election was indeed stolen. What happens next is clear. Maduro will strengthen his grip on power instead of stepping down peacefully. As the saying goes, you can vote your way into socialism, but you have to shoot your way out.

LAFOURCHE PARISH, LA - Eighteen-year-olds Taliyah Crochet and Rylan Oncale are dead after an unlicensed, drunk, illegal immigrant, Axel Flores-Cordova, also 18, slammed into their car head-on at high speed. Flores-Cordova, a Honduran national, was reportedly found to have over six times the legal limit of alcohol in his system.
As reported by WWLT-TV, Crochet and Oncale were driving with two other people in the car with them when Flores-Cordova crossed over the centerline of the highway in a Jeep at approximately 1:00 a.m. and collided with their vehicle.
According to KATC, Flores-Cordova wasn't wearing a seatbelt and was unharmed, however, both Oncale and Crochet were wearing their seatbelts.
Key West, Florida — In quirky Key West, Florida, it's not just tourists flocking to town, feral chickens have found their tropical paradise.
And Key West City Commissioner Clayton Lopez has got a beef. They're "everywhere," he says, with entire chicken families often seen crossing roads.
A resolution introduced by Lopez, which is now law, bans feeding chickens on public property.
"What I am looking to do is to try and address the health issues of humans, as well as the chickens," Lopez said.
The chickens can cause property damage and their droppings can spread disease. The chickens are sometimes run over by cars, and chicks can fall into storm drains.
It's been a week since Joe Biden left the presidential race, and he's barely been seen in public. After a fumbling Oval Office address on Thursday in which he failed to offer any explanation for his sudden departure, the president headed off to Camp David. That would be the same Camp David he hid out at before the debate performance that exposed his worsening mental and physical condition. In other words, his heading back to hunker down there is a pretty big sign of how bad off he is. Biden just suffered the most embarrassing moment of his career, clearly due to worsening health.
Democrats and their compliant media were trying to spread the narrative that former President Donald Trump was backing out of debates with Kamala Harris.
What the Trump team actually said was that because of all the machinations that the Democrats had put on with shoving Joe Biden to the side and then some trying to anoint Kamala Harris without even a primary vote for the position, it wasn't officially clear yet who the nominee of the party is, and that they shouldn't be wasting their time setting up anything until there was an official nominee. (X) That's not "backing out." But that shows the bias of the media once again.
A leader and co-founder of the powerful Sinaloa Cartel is in U.S. custody thanks to a stunning betrayal by one of the sons of imprisoned Mexican kingpin Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán Loera, a source told CBS News.
The arrest of Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada ended more than four decades of his leadership of the deadly criminal organization he founded with Guzmán Loera, who is serving a life sentence in a maximum security prison in Colorado after being convicted in 2019 of charges including drug trafficking, money laundering and weapons-related offenses. One of El Chapo's sons, Joaquín Guzmán López, 38, allegedly duped Zambada into boarding a plane on Thursday,
This Is Why Kamala Is Horrible

Like it or not, I believe Kamala will be the 47th president of the United States. No, I don't think the Mad Cackler can beat Trump, but I do believe President Shartshispants is going to resign before Inauguration Day, making Harris the 47th president and checking a ton of boxes for those who pray to the false god of DEI.
FACT-O-RAMA! The Democrats would likely install Harris as #47 just to p**s off those of us with Trump 45-47 swag.
Needless to say, I'm odds and ends when it comes to attacking Kamala Harridan. I've got a junk drawer full of reasons she's a troglodyte.

First of all, some perspective on polls. I have had some experience with polls and pollsters during my time in the media. The results of any poll are dependent on, among other things, the demographic contacted, the number of people polled, the questions that pollsters ask, and the way they phrase those questions. And it is not unheard of for organizations to conduct polls to obtain a desired result. So it is always wise to take the results of any poll with a few shakers of salt.
Be that as it may, if the information about a recent poll that the Daily Mail highlighted is at all indicative of the

President Joe Biden called for major changes to the Supreme Court on Monday, including a constitutional amendment that would limit immunity for presidents, impose term limits for justices and stipulate an enforceable code of ethicst.
In an op-ed in the Washington Post, Biden said "no one is above the law."
“Not the president of the United States,” he wrote. “Not a justice on the Supreme Court of the United States. No one.”
In July, the Supreme Court ruled that presidents cannot be prosecuted for "official acts" during their time in office. The court's ruling stemmed from a case concerning former President Donald Trump.
One of my great peeves of the Trump era is the Greenland effect.
I belong to a small group of people who think America should peacefully acquire Greenland. It’s an old idea. The State Department pitched buying the vast arctic island in 1946, but the Danes didn’t want to sell their colony, alas. But given its strategic and economic value, it’s worth revisiting.
On a recent call, U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg said that men have more freedom in a country where abortion on demand is the norm because they do not have to take responsibility for their actions. Buttigieg made the remarks during a Zoom meeting for “White Dudes for Harris,” a group of voters working to make Vice President Kamala Harris the next president of the United States. Harris received President Joe Biden’s endorsement after he announced that he would not seek reelection.

Yes, you read that right.
According to the website Michigan News Source, the group Republican Voters Against Trump is rolling out a campaign featuring disgruntled GOP voters who are standing with Kamala Harris this election. "Fiddlesticks," say you? Watch the ad below, says I. [Video]
In addition to the ad above, Michigan News Source said the PAC had started a $500,000 billboard campaign in several swing states. The campaign is aimed at getting Trump voters to switch sides (and presumably sell their souls) and join Team Harris.
The campaign includes 76 billboards showing alleged former Trump voters from Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin with the message:
The “public servants” in Washington D.C. act like our masters. And it’s an open secret that not only are many members of Congress horrible bosses, the more ‘officially oppressed’ Congressmembers (and some of the most socialist ones like Sen. Bernie Sanders) are the absolutely worst and nastiest bosses.
[SNIP] Harris vocally throws around “F-bombs” and other profanity constantly in her berating of staff and others. The staff is in complete fear of her and she uses her profanity throughout the day.
As Attorney General, Senator Harris instructed her entire staff to stand every morning as she entered the office and say, “Good Morning General.”
Twenty-six years ago, a young man named Matthew Shepard was beaten and strung up on a Wyoming barbed wire fence to die. The beating and murder were because Shepard was gay.
The perps were quickly found, tried for murder, convicted, and sentenced to prison. They’re still there.
It was a good news story about bad news and was widely reported. But it wasn’t true.
It has since been shown that Shepard and one of the perps were in the drug business together. Shepard was due to receive a $10,000 shipment of meth. The perp himself was gay and had been in a gay relationship with Shepard.

President Biden formally unveiled his planned overhaul of the Supreme Court on Monday — with a clear eye on limiting the powers of former President Donald Trump should he succeed him.
The commander-in-chief took the unusual step of unveiling his major planned policy steps in a newspaper op-ed, with the Washington Post helpfully telling readers: “The writer is president of the United States.”
The president laid out three main changes to the court — which he said is “mired in a crisis of ethics” — including term limits and a binding code of conduct.
Squad leader AOC sounded off on Donald Trump and running mate J.D. Vance's 'SUPER weird' political platform, saying they're trying to attract sexually frustrated voters. [SNIP] Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's assault on Trump and Vance supporters was accompanied by a flurry of insults at the Republican presidential ticket, calling the GOP pair 'creepy' and 'abnormal.'
'Being obsessed with repressing women is goofy,' AOC posted on X in response to a post from former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy. 'Trying to watch what LGBTQ+ people do all the time is abnormal.'
What kind of president would Kamala Harris be if she were in office and another 9/11 struck?
According to reporter Seymour Hersh, probably a pretty surprised one.
She doesn't read her daily presidential intelligence briefings, because, well, that's "homework." Kamala doesn't do homework, as previous reports have noted.

Kamala would be the nominee if she could perform, and here was Obama's concern:
"One possible drawback, I was told, was Harris’s sometime disdain for the work of the US Intelligence Community. She is known not to be especially interested in the President’s Daily Brief, a highly classified summary of current intelligence..."

"I strongly support Vice President Harris' campaign for President. I know she's going to win and I was honored to be considered for this role. This just wasn't the right time for North Carolina and for me to potentially be on a national ticket," he said in a post on X.

Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) said Monday on Fox News Channel’s “Your World” that Vice President Kamala Harris was not a serious person.
Kennedy said, “Many Americans think that the vice president is a little bit of a ding-dong.” Host Neil Cavuto said, “You raised a number of very clear issues, substantive issues that could be debated. I guess all I’m saying, for all the problems and calling her a loon and all that, and I get it. I know it’s political season, and that happens on both sides.”Kennedy said, “You’re putting words in my mouth. I said, she’s a member, she’s a member of the loon wing of the Democratic Party.
The New York Times reports that Vice President Kamala Harris’s advocacy for far-left policies on the 2019 campaign trail could imperil her 2024 bid for the Oval Office.
Just days into her candidacy — after President Joe Biden was reportedly forced out as the presumptive Democrat nominee amid a behind-the-scenes pressure campaign from top Democrats, donors, and Hollywood elites — Republicans have shown they are ready for Harris’s candidacy. As Times reporter Reid Epstein noted Monday, several videos and policy visions that Harris, who has been an elected official since 2004, espoused in her last bid for the presidency have already come back to “haunt” her.
