Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
Reporters make good sitting ducks when it comes to protecting a president
The Secret Service switched President Trump out of Air Force One into a second plane when he left Turkey following a NATO summit. New intelligence raised fears of an Iranian missile attack on the president.
Joe Biden was in Sioux Falls on Friday; he spoke at the South Dakota Democrat Party State Convention. South Dakota media have been competing with each other in producing puff-pieces about his appearance. That’s nothing new because what passes for “major media” in this state are reflexively pro-Democrat despite the fact that 52% of the registered voters in South Dakota are Republicans (a paltry 22% are registered Democrats with the rest independents, third parties, or “no party affiliation”). No wonder their readership/subscriptions have been in the tank for years!
Don Surber’s take on this week’s news items are more informative than the actual news items. Enjoy!
NYT & WP increased their use of “white supremacy” between 2010 & 2019. Chart illustrates the sharp increase in the usage of “white supremacy” by both publications during that decade, showing a 4,196% increase in NYT & a 5,931% increase in WP: Increased DRAMATICALLY when Trump was elected.
Adolf Platner. Six Genders Talarico. Tampon Tim. The first two are Democrat Senate candidates while Walz was the party’s vice presidential nominee in 2024. Democrats aimed these weirdos at collecting the XY vote. They have the combined testosterone of my 5-year-old grandson.
Don Surber gives us a tour of this week’s news items. He’ll make you think harder than the media outlets, that’s for sure. Enjoy!
For the first time in decades, Washington should be safe and clean enough to visit—just in time for the 250th celebration of independence.
The freedom of the press is enshrined in the very first amendment for a good reason. It wasn’t haphazardly placed there. Our Founders realized that in order to control the urges of the powerful, who run government, to grow even more powerful, a free press was needed to keep tabs on the ruling class.
The New York Times’s latest attempt to unite the nation against President Trump—and everyone else who wants to Make America Great Again—consisted of tying CPAC’s convention this weekend to the No Kings protests across the world. I must admit that the Times staff was dogged in its effort. Reporters showed a lot of pluck but per usual, the result showed it was another luckless Acme product in fresh packaging.
America and Israel began Operation Epic Fury (Rising Lion in Hebrew) by assassinating the Supreme Leader and seven or eight of Iran’s top generals. Then quickly and methodically the two destroyed its air defenses, its air force and its navy.
I worked in newspapers as a civilian for 33 years. I do not recall any other veteran in the newsroom over that time. Journalism schools should require two years in the military—or at least boot camp.
The time has come to drop the façade. There is no such thing as TDS. Hating Trump doesn’t drive this. Hating America does. As a very sane genius once said, the American press is the enemy of the people.
Local journalism still survives on trust and community, which is exactly what the Washington Post squandered.
The 4th Estate’s coverage of an illegal alien leaving his child alone marks a new low. But they are not alone. Other institutions have shown themselves pathetic in this matter.
You may recall that both the Washington Post and New York Times knew about the military’s plans to arrest of Maduro and his wife shortly before the January 3 raid. Both papers declined to use the story.
Meet the Press began as a weekly show where a group of reporters interviewed a Washington politician, politely taking turns asking questions. It devolved into the mess you see these days. For years Republicans never pushed back.
During a discussion in a journalism class I was teaching at the University of Illinois a few years ago, I posited the following question: What do you think has been the greatest, most impactful invention in the world during the past 1,000 years?
In Trump’s second presidency, the nation marches on and the twits in the media have to work over the holidays. The poor silly saps have had to come up with their own lines because the DNC doesn’t have enough money to staff peddle their talking points, narratives and lies.
Rooney walked when CBS spiked his essay on war. It was an opinion piece that he wouldn’t change.
Our favorite president filed a defamation lawsuit against the British Broadcasting Corporation seeking $10 billion (£7.4 billion). He filed it in the U.S. district court in Miami
