If the Cincinnati beatings had been done by white people on innocent black people, and the white crowd had been in the dozens with many filming and cheering, there would be BLM protests coast to coast breathlessly covered by the mainstream media with the crowd's videos on endless loop 60/60/24/7/365.

Maybe not now that the grifters that were running it have that property in "almost no blacks live here" Topanga Canyon, always amusing when the ones screaming racism the loudest live in the whitest neighborhoods.

As it is, it's not news. And the MSM doesn't understand why the general public trusts them literally less than used car salespeople.

"Fox News lies" has less cache when they get caught lying, and they haven't figured it out yet.
They never will - that's called arrogance.

Folks would actually be surprised at the number of racists from the Northern USA who have jobs in places like, you know, the media. Remember how when we were all young and there was that one (sometimes a couple) of boys who were just raging gay haters - and then years later it turned out they themselves are gay? Well, it's the same with those obsessed with race-based reporting. And I'm referring in this context MOSTLY to white journalists.

Narratives are easy. The oppressor vs victim coverage is the easiest of all.

Remember: John Calvin or Thomas Aquinas could never be a successful televangelist with their learning, they'd take a back seat to Benny Hinn's theatrics.

Chris Cuomo has posted a blatantly fake video of @aoc. It’s so fake that it’s clearly labeled as parody AI at the top. Video on the right.

Yeah, but as we see here nearly every day .....

Both sides do it. And it's the Democrats fault that we have Trump. Even the people who voted for him, hate him now, but would vote for him again because the Democrats.

It isn't the Democrats' fault we have Trump, no. They didn't let him run in their party, nominate him, or renominate him after January 6th. They didn't give him a free pass on, well, everything.

It IS their fault being hypocrites on "we're believers in democracy" and then removing the guy who was the projected nominee for no other reason than "the polls show we're gonna lose," to say nothing of "our guy can't run for President because he's old BUT HE CAN STILL HOLD THE NUCLEAR FOOTBALL!"

Up the Creek: Media Outlets Criticized for False Story on Vance

The media and various liberal pundits are again shrugging this week after the exposure of another false story targeting a conservative or Republican. In this case, Vice President JD Vance was criti…
jonathanturley.org jonathanturley.org

The hit piece was curious because The Guardian admitted that it could not confirm the allegation. Nevertheless, it breathlessly reported on “Canoe-Gate” with the headline, “JD Vance’s team had water level of the river raised for family’s boating trip.”In the article by Guardian writers Stephanie Kirchgaessner and David Smith, the outlet’s writers suggested that the water-raising was done for recreational reasons, stating “one source with knowledge of the matter who communicated with the Guardian anonymously alleged that the outflow request for the Caesar Creek Lake was not just to support the vice-president’s Secret Service detail, but also to create ‘ideal kayaking conditions.’” They then added, “The Guardian could not independently confirm this specific claim.”

Hmmm, that “specific claim” is the entire story.

Here's a link to the article.

A couple of comments:

The article, though poorly written (so poorly written as to be an insult to the very idea of journalism. Yes, I feel rather strongly about the suckage of the article.), seems to be presenting the facts more or less evenly (if somewhat incoherently). Given the warrant the Trump administration is using, the fact that he was convicted of a violent felony is more than sufficient for deportation.

I vaguely recall this being discussed here at the time. I think the discussion hinged on the former CO who claimed that expedited naturalization paperwork had been filed, but was apparently lost.

Interesting that whoever posted created the image highlighted "shot a pregnant teen in the leg" as opposed to "convicted of two counts of first-degree murder".

If the author had intended for this to by some sort of argument that the government should be lenient, the material for said argument is already in the article--the guy suffered a traumatic brain injury while serving in the US military. Had he not committed murder, a case for leniency could be made.

Ultimately, the author could not decide if they wanted to focus on Barco's individual plight, the Trump deportation policy, or the weak support provided by the VA. As a result, all three get short shrift.

Bargains in the Shadows: Selling Souls for a Stolen Bottle of Vodka

In a scene worthy of Cold War parody, Kremlin loyalists and their Western mouthpieces are now being “rewarded” for services rendered not with contracts, not with influence, not even with money—but with vodka. A recent report highlights how U.S. journalist Brian Glenn, the same one who lobbed a shallow question to Zelenskyy about his clothing, received a bottle of vodka from Russian handlers and gushed with delight.

Let’s pause here. Vodka isn’t even a Russian invention. Its roots stretch back to Poland and Ukraine, with Ukrainian horilka and Polish distillations documented centuries before Moscow slapped its imperial label on it. So what do we see? Russian assets selling their dignity, honor, and future—for a drink that isn’t even authentically Russian. That’s not loyalty, that’s farce.

It’s a Faustian bargain at its cheapest: selling your soul for a shot of stolen liquor. Imagine bartering away morality, journalistic integrity, even your children’s future—for a swig of something pilfered from history. It’s not just pathetic; it’s so very Russian. For centuries, Moscow has plundered identities—claiming Ukrainian borscht, rebranding Cossack culture, rewriting history. Now it pays its pawns with the same counterfeit “heritage.”

And the irony doesn’t stop there. These so-called journalists, living in democratic societies, undermine freedom and amplify autocracy—for rewards as hollow as the empire they serve. A bottle today, maybe a balalaika for Trump tomorrow. What’s next? Bears on a leash as Kremlin party favors?

From Kyiv, under missile fire and blackouts, the spectacle isn’t funny. It’s a tragedy of complicity. It reveals how empires persist: not through strength, but through borrowed symbols, stolen culture, and the willingness of petty opportunists to sell themselves cheap. Russia doesn’t reward loyalty with gold—it offers glass bottles filled with someone else’s heritage. And the world is expected to take this seriously?

If selling one’s essence for a stolen sip is the Russian way, then it’s time for the world to sober up. Because the price of such servility isn’t measured in vodka—it’s measured in freedom lost.
