Maybe as bad as traditional media?
Worse.
Recent know-nothing, college grads, trained in our liberal universities to be activists censoring speech based on…?
Based on what? Their feelings?
“…The self-described “fact-checker” of The Washington Post, Glenn Kessler, admits in a splashy article that because Leftist legacy media reporters (my words, not his) didn’t like President Donald Trump, they ignored his warnings that the “China virus” possibly escaped from a Wuhan, China, lab. They denounced it as a “thoroughly debunked theory.” And they ignored him and his legitimate warnings because they believed the usage of the term was racist.
Put another way, political correctness, blind hatred, and leftist wokism contributed to the burying of a key component of the most important story of our lifetimes…”
“…Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, who lied about where she was on January 6 in order to ramp up a story of victimhood, is now arguing being on the U.S. Capitol grounds the day of the riot is equal to “serving in war.”…”

AOC doesn’t know what it’s like to come under attack by machine gun fire, mortars or RPGs. She hasn’t seen the horror of roadside IED explosions on bystanders & children. She hasn’t lost fellow soldiers on the battlefield or seen friends permanently disfigured by Taliban attacks.

We live in the age of stupid – and the stupid is getting thicker.
Zuckerberg attempted to, and perhaps did, manipulate the vote to favor Democrats.
“…How did all this happen, anyway? Who’s responsible? How much of what we’ve been told about the origin and spread of COVID-19 is true, and who benefits from the lies? And sooner or later, those questions all end up having the same answer: the Chinese Communist Party.
For the past year, our moral, ethical, and intellectual betters in the press have insisted it’s a lunatic conspiracy theory to speculate that COVID-19 might have originated at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. But suddenly they’ve all reversed themselves, and now they’re admitting that a lab leak is not only possible but probable. (Without ever admitting they were wrong for an entire year, of course, and that they tried to silence anyone who dared to say anything about a lab leak. Their pride won’t allow them to admit error. Honesty is too much to expect from the people who never stop congratulating themselves for bringing us the truth.) As legendary science fiction writer Philip K. Dick put it: “Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn’t go away.” And the lab-leak theory isn’t going away, despite the best efforts of a lot of people who want you to shut up about it.
We’ve been scolded for calling it “the Wuhan virus” or “the Chinese virus,” which is what everybody on the news was calling it in the early days of the pandemic, until somebody told them to stop:
Liberal media pundits want you to think referring to the coronavirus as the "Wuhan" or "Chinese" virus is racist.

And just today, John Cena groveled to the Chinese government for daring to call Taiwan an independent county. A lot of prominent Americans are going out of their way not to offend China by telling the truth.
Since when do all these guys work for Xi Jinping?
Since a while ago, apparently. Chuck Ross, Washington Free Beacon:
A news agency controlled by the Chinese Communist Party paid millions of dollars to American newspapers and magazines over the past six months, even as U.S. officials have sounded the alarm on Beijing’s propaganda activities.
China Daily paid more than $1.6 million for advertising campaigns in Time magazine, the Los Angeles Times, Financial Times, and Foreign Policy magazine, according to disclosures filed with the Justice Department. The Beijing-controlled news agency paid another $1 million to American newspapers, including the L.A. Times, Chicago Tribune, and Houston Chronicle, to print copies of its own publications…
Many of the newspapers working with China Daily face severe financial problems. The Los Angeles Times furloughed workers last year as advertising revenue cratered during the coronavirus pandemic. Papers like the Chicago Tribune and Boston Globe have failed to turn a profit for years.
Leslie Eastman:
“…Legal Insurrection reported in February 2020 that a lab leak in Wuhan, China, could have been the origin point for the coronavirus pandemic. But in May 2020, the elite media derided any mention of this possibility in its quest to undermine President Donald Trump.
For example, CNN Politics ran an article boldly proclaiming: Anthony Fauci just crushed Donald Trump’s theory on the origins of the coronavirus
“If you look at the evolution of the virus in bats and what’s out there now, [the scientific evidence] is very, very strongly leaning toward this could not have been artificially or deliberately manipulated … Everything about the stepwise evolution over time strongly indicates that [this virus] evolved in nature and then jumped species.”
Now, before we play the game of “he said, he said” remember this: Only one of these two people is a world-renowned infectious disease expert. And it’s not Donald Trump.
I spent months online scouring for news from respected media sources to find reports related to lab-leak scenarios. Indeed, evidence from the US State Department and other sources indicated that a facility in Wuhan, China, was very likely ground zero in the pandemic.
Now the tide is turning on the media narrative. Per a previously undisclosed U.S. intelligence report, three researchers from China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology became sick enough in November 2019 that they sought hospital care.
The details of the reporting go beyond a State Department fact sheet, issued during the final days of the Trump administration, which said that several researchers at the lab, a center for the study of coronaviruses and other pathogens, became sick in autumn 2019 “with symptoms consistent with both Covid-19 and common seasonal illness.”
The disclosure of the number of researchers, the timing of their illnesses and their hospital visits come on the eve of a meeting of the World Health Organization’s decision-making body, which is expected to discuss the next phase of an investigation into Covid-19’s origins.
…“The information that we had coming from the various sources was of exquisite quality. It was very precise. What it didn’t tell you was exactly why they got sick,” [an official familiar with the investigation] said, referring to the researchers.
Trump may not have had a degree in epidemiology, but he had access to all the gathered intelligence. Therefore, the President’s assertions about the origin should have been given significant weight rather than dismissed with snarky headlines.
If this back-tracking by the American press isn’t frustrating enough, now Fauci is reversing course and saying a lab-leak is possible…after, concisely, and succinctly telling Americans who trusted him it wasn’t. Fauci crushes his theory on the origins of the coronavirus.
Fauci, the nation’s leading expert in infectious diseases, explained his uncertainty during a PolitiFact event on May 11 entitled: United Facts of America: A Festival of Fact-Checking.
‘There’s a lot of cloudiness around the origins of COVID-19 still, so I wanted to ask, are you still confident that it developed naturally?’ PolitiFact managing editor Katie Sanders asked Fauci.
‘No actually,’ he replied. ‘I am not convinced about that, I think we should continue to investigate what went on in China until we continue to find out to the best of our ability what happened.’
PolitiFact’s “Festival of Fact-Checking” is certainly the appropriate place for a clown who wants attention.
My fury at our media burns with the heat of 1 million suns. But, after having my social posts throttled and hidden under “fact checks,” with direct threats to my accounts, I have no intention of forgetting the destructive disinformation campaign that was offered up as COVID-truth by the press. Truly, it makes me wonder exactly how many more fact-reversals related to the coronavirus we will be treated to…”

The NYT does not like attacks on Jews because the attacks might benefit Republicans. Other than that, have at it!
Don’t worry, the NYT got so much flack for this stupid headline that they changed it before the end of the day yesterday. The meaning is clear; however, and we know exactly what New York liberals think.
I don’t understand Jewish Democrats. Some kind of weird self-hating thing going on there. But then that is Democrat.
That is what it takes to gain high office in our government bureaucracy, race hustling. Peddle the race nonsense when no one is watching, lie about it when you testify before congress.
Democrat.
Government.
Disgusting.
“…Sen. Rand Paul said Tuesday that National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci has repeatedly lied and should be fired.
Paul said on Just the News’ “Water Cooler” show that Fauci lied to Congress when he said the National Institutes of Health did not fund gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
“He oughta be immediately fired,” said Paul, who has repeatedly clashed with Fauci over numerous COVID-19 issues. “He’s been lying to us since the very beginning. He first said no masks work, which wasn’t true. Then he said all masks work and that wasn’t true either. The N95 masks work, the rest of them don’t. But he’s been dishonest from the very beginning.”
The Kentucky Republican Paul also said Fauci has lied “so-called with good intentions, noble lies, but he has been dishonest and he should be dismissed.”…”
Here is a screen capture of the original. How long before the Times changes the headline?
Democrats.
Media.
Can it get worse?
Update:
NYT revised the headline later in the day.
Simple mistake, I guess.
