Journalism – MSNBC style
MSNBC’s primetime hosts completely avoided the Jussie Smollett verdict last night.
In fact, the network’s most-watched shows never even covered the staged hate crime at all since it emerged in 2019, according to transcripts. https://t.co/fY2Wlc6J5h

Social media is garbage.
BOMBSHELL: In court filing, Facebook admits ‘fact checks’ are nothing more than opinion
Anthony Watts:
“…Facebook has admitted in a court of law that such fact checks are not factual at all, but merely opinions.
People send me stuff.
As we have previously reported, journalist John Stossel is suing Facebook after Facebook’s ‘fact checkers’ labeled climate change information that Stossel posted as “false and misleading”. In the middle of all this is the nefarious website “Climate Feedback” which has a bunch of climate zealots that write up what they claim are “fact checks” for articles, videos, and news stories they disagree with.
Facebook just blew the “fact check” claim right out of the water in court.
In its response to Stossel’s defamation claim, Facebook responds on Page 2, Line 8 in the court document (download it below) that Facebook cannot be sued for defamation (which is making a false and harmful assertion) because its ‘fact checks’ are mere statements of opinion rather than factual assertions.
Opinions are not subject to defamation claims, while false assertions of fact can be subject to defamation. The quote in Facebook’s complaint is,
“The labels themselves are neither false nor defamatory; to the contrary, they constitute protected opinion.”
So, in a court of law, in a legal filing, Facebook admits that its ‘fact checks’ are not really ‘fact’ checks at all, but merely ‘opinion assertions.’
This strikes me as public relations disaster, and possibly a looming legal disaster for Facebook, PolitiFact, Climate Feedback and other left-leaning entities that engage in biased “fact checking.”
Such “fact checks” are now shown to be simply an agenda to supress free speech and the open discussion of science by disguising liberal media activism as something supposedly factual, noble, neutral, trustworthy, and based on science.
It is none of those…”
The rational person’s reaction to this is that it has to hurt Biden and the Democrats with the electorate at large. But modern political theory begs to differ.
Omarova’s Failed Nomination Hints at the Left’s Long Game
“…Charles C. W. Cooke’s column on Wednesday compellingly noted all the reasons why it seems crazy for President Biden to have nominated Saule Omarova, an unreconstructed Marxist, to be comptroller of the currency. But I think there’s a rational calculation behind the apparent madness, which is why, as Charlie points out, only 10 percent of Senate Democrats voted Omarova’s nomination down. For the rest, as for Biden, supporting the inevitable loser was a solidarity-signaling freebie.
The problem is what Charlie aptly describes as “the lunatics and fabulists” in Biden’s party. The sad fact is that they represent the Left’s energy, its muscle, and a lot of its money. These Bolsheviks cede no ground to norms: doxing opponents, making mayhem at their homes, harassing their children, giving them no peace upon encountering them at a restaurant or a store, unabashedly defending allies who riot and perjure themselves, etc.
Funny thing about extortion: It works.
Biden and congressional Democrats are not going to be able to give these people the utopia they demand. But unfortunately, establishment Democrats are not just afraid of the Bolsheviks, they need them. The hard Left is less of a fringe than we’d like to think. It is a meaningful minority bloc of voters, and it is now powerful enough that, having thrashed the Democratic establishment in many elections, it runs several major American cities. It makes the blue states blue,
Biden figures that he must signal he is with the hard Left, and congressional Democrats figure that they must vote accordingly. Omarova is a case in point. She wasn’t going to be confirmed regardless, so her nomination gave Biden and Senate Democrats a cost-free way of keeping their crazies on board. I must be nuts, you’re thinking, because when the next election rolls around, voters will remember that so many Democrats backed an out-and-out socialist. Maybe, maybe not. No one ever went broke underestimating the memory of voters, after all. But consider the alternative scenario: What if Biden and establishment Democrats lost the hard Left by refusing to engage in these gestures? The result would be internal fracturing, primaries, and the party establishment on the receiving end of the tactics for which the Bolsheviks are notorious. (You may have noticed that it wasn’t conservatives who ran the Cuomo brothers out of their powerful gigs.)
Moreover, it is a blunt fact that Marxism is respectable on the modern left — even popular. Communism is not in the depths of disrepute, as it was a generation ago. That’s what happens when (a) you no longer have in Moscow a concrete example of what a monstrosity communism is, and (b) you cede the universities, as well as primary and secondary education, to Marxists. Polling over the last several years (see, e.g., here and here) shows plunging support for free-markets (labeled “capitalism,” which would have brought a smile to Marx’s face) and surging support for socialism. That socialism’s supporters have no idea what they’re talking about — well, see (a) and (b), supra.
These are the Democrats’ voters. With the electorate closely divided, Democrats need them to vote. Ergo, Democrats have to come up with ways to keep them in the tent and energized, without actually doing too many of the ruinous things they want done, which would hurt Democrats along with most Americans.
Omarova is one example of how they do this — the appointment of radicals to top posts in the administrative state (especially the “quasi-independent” agencies). Another is the appointment of progressive-activist lawyers to the federal bench, something to which the public pays scant attention but which the hard Left watches closely. There is also the pronouncement of mandates and executive orders that direct implementation of progressive policies (or the undoing of anything associated with President Trump, no matter how beneficial the Trump policy in question). These, too, are relatively cost-free for Biden: The administration knows its usurpations of legislative authority will instantly be challenged and probably stayed in court, so no real harm will be done; eventually, the administration will probably lose the litigation, but by then, when the public has forgotten what little it knew in the first place, Biden will have shown radical leftists that he is on their side, fighting for their objectives.
The rational person’s reaction to this is that it has to hurt Biden and the Democrats with the electorate at large. But modern political theory begs to differ…”

Vermont Seeing Largest COVID Surge of Pandemic, Despite 74 Percent of Residents Vaccinated
“…74 percent of its population is fully vaccinated, the state of Vermont is experiencing its largest surge of COVID-19 cases since the pandemic began.
Throughout the past week, coronavirus infections have jumped 54 percent along with an 18 percent increase in hospitalizations. According to the Vermont Department of Health, six new deaths have been attributed to COVID-19 complications across the state. Ninety percent of those hospitalized in intensive care units in the state are unvaccinated. According to local news station NBC 5, unvaccinated people are 15 times more likely to be hospitalized due to a COVID-19 infection.
Republican Governor Phil Scott addressed the rise in cases during a press conference on Tuesday, urging those still not vaccinated to get their shots. “Obviously, it’s not where we want to be,” he said….”
Question everything the government and media tell you. You are responsible for your health. Nobody else. Use your own judgement.
I think it is important to remember which Democrats supported the Smollett nonsense. They were not fooled by the fakery. They saw a political opportunity and took it. Remember who these people are and what they are.
What happened today to @JussieSmollett must never be tolerated in this country. We must stand up and demand that we no longer give this hate safe harbor; that homophobia and racism have no place on our streets or in our hearts. We are with you, Jussie. https://t.co/o8ilPu68CM
