NBC News Anchor: ‘Fairness Is Overrated’
Posted By: Imright, 3/31/2021 10:40:42 PM
NBC Nightly News anchor Lester Holt says “fairness is overrated” and the news media no longer needs to present both sides of a given story.Holt, who was this week awarded the Edward R. Murrow Lifetime Achievement Award in Journalism from Washington State University, waxed poetic on the news media, at one point declaring that “it’s become clearer that fairness is over-rated.”“Before you run off and tweet that headline, let me explain a bit,” he said. “The idea that we should always give two sides equal weight and merit does not reflect the world we find ourselves in. That the sun sets in the west is a fact. Any contrary view

There are a lot of ironies when it comes to increased Democrat calls for more gun control — which always happens when they are in power — and corresponding record increases in gun sales, but this one might just be the granddaddy of them all.As reported by “Washington Secrets” columnist Paul Bedard, gun sales hit another record in February as Joe Biden and congressional Democrats once again ramped up calls for new gun control measures, politically exploiting, as they always do, a series of tragic mass shootings.Bedard writes:For the second time in three months, the FBI broke its record for gun sales, concealed carry, .
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki dodged a question on Thursday about smugglers throwing small children over the southern border wall, and instead shifted attention to the reporter’s motivation for asking the question.“And then, on immigration, has the White House considered beefing up border security now that there is video of a three-year-old and a five-year-old being thrown over the wall in New Mexico?” Fox News reporter Peter Doocy asked.Psaki said that the administration has “spoken out about our concerns” regarding what the smugglers are doing.“Yes, but they still got close enough — as you guys are talking about addressing root causes
Georgia’s election reform legislation is pretty good. But the future of the republic is at stake, and “pretty good” isn’t good enough.
Unfortunately, while the omnibus bill contains a number of laudable provisions, such as stricter ID requirements and absentee ballot safeguards, it also includes glaring flaws that could render the final product largely meaningless.Most significantly, the language used to “ban” private funding of election administration has a loophole large enough to drive a semi-truck full of ballots through. Although the legislation bars election officials from directly accepting private funding, the wording expressly allows funding to flow through “the governing authority of the county or municipality,”
Thirteen states are joining forces to sue President Joe Biden’s administration over his power grabbing American Rescue Plan which banned states from cutting taxes if they received COVID-19 relief funds.The Daily Caller reports: “The 13-state coalition argued that the provision included in the Democrats’ $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package preventing states from cutting taxes if they accept relief from the federal government is unconstitutional. The coalition, led by Republican West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey, filed the federal lawsuit Wednesday evening in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama.”In a statement released on Wednesday, Morrisey said, “Never before has the federal government attempted
The Biden Administration silently gave Palestine millions in financial aid, reversing Trump-era policies, according to the Associated Press (AP).The administration announced on March 25 they would give $15 million to Palestinian communities in the West Bank and Gaza for pandemic purposes, according to ABC News.The administration then alerted Congress on Friday that it would give Palestinians $75 million for economic support to be used to restore their “trust and goodwill” after Trump cut aid, according to the AP.“Given the absence of USAID activity in recent years, engaging civil society actors will be critical to regaining trust and goodwill with Palestinian society,” the notification sent to Congress said,
President Biden is in favor of providing COVID-19 vaccines to immigrants regardless of their legal status, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Thursday. Asked during her daily press briefing about a push in Florida to waive a residency requirement for inoculation, Psaki said the president supports getting vaccines into as many arms as possible.“The more people who are vaccinated, whether they’re undocumented or not, the safer we are as a country, and that’s certainly the president’s point of view,” said Psaki.Access to the vaccine for illegal immigrants has been a hot-button issue
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is encouraging Americans to wear masks after being diagnosed with COVID-19.The 57-year-old former vice presidential candidate revealed the diagnosis in an interview Wednesday with People magazine, telling the outlet that she and members of her family likely contracted the virus through one of her children.“[O]ne of my daughters awoke to having lost her sense of taste and smell [and] immediately had a positive COVID test,” the 2008 GOP running mate said, adding that the unidentified daughter “then was quarantined in isolation.”Palin’s youngest son, Trig, 12, was the next one
Ron DeSantis may be a boss, but that’s not stopping Democrats from attempting to unseat him in 2022. Part of that is abiding in the delusion that Florida has somehow done worse than most states in regards to COVID. Reality tells a different story, but when has that ever stopped the left?Enter Nikki Fried. You’ve probably never heard of her because she’s an inconsequential politician, but she’s as thirsty as they come, and running for governor in 2022 is just the flavor she likes. Yet, her strategy to get there, and to eventually win, seems rather suspect.For starters, she’s going on the show of a certified nutcase to apologize
Georgia Republicans voted to strip Delta Air Lines of a multi-million dollar jet fuel tax break Wednesday.Later on the same day that Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian released a memo to employees on what he called “unacceptable” new voting laws in Georgia, the state’s House of Representatives voted to strip the company of a tax break on jet fuel. The response came via a late provision to tax bill HB 477, adding new levies on jet fuel as of July 1.Hours before, Bastian excoriated the aforementioned voting rights bill, which adds ID requirements for mail in votes, restricts the use of ballot drop boxes, expands weekend voting access,
Orange County- A gunman killed 4 people, including a 9-year-old boy Wednesday night in a mass shooting at a business complex in Orange, California.Police responded to reports of gunshots Wednesday evening around 5:30 PM at the 200 block of West Lincoln Avenue.The suspect was taken into custody Wednesday night after police engaged the shooter and an “officer-involved shooting” occurred but he wasn’t publicly identified until Thursday.Police located “multiple victims” including a 9-year-old boy who died in his mother’s arms.
The media in the US is perhaps the most corrupt and dishonest group of people in the world today. They are one-sided and severely biased. Their actions during the 2020 Election were repulsive and they are again showing their real colors in the way they are reporting Biden’s self-made crisis at the border.Newsbusters released a video showing the differences between how the biased and sick media in the US reported immigrants at the border under President Trump and today under Biden. The differences are disgusting (not shocking since we are well aware of the media’s bias):
The White House is pushing an infrastructure bill that could reshape the discussion around capitalism as it seems to reestablish the federal government as a primary driver of how the economy should grow and function.In addition to traditional infrastructure projects, Biden’s $2.25 trillion American Jobs Plan would make government investments in broadband, electric vehicles, climate change, elderly care, child benefits, housing and developing future technologies. It would redefine classic infrastructure projects to include investments in workers and families paid for by tax hikes on corporations.

How Stupid are American Voters ?--- Very!
42 replies
Perhaps stupid is not the right word. Gullible is not right either. It's really hard to pinpoint the main reason behind the disastrous state of our country but the cold hard fact is that many Americans have fallen for two of the biggest hoaxes perpetrated by the left , the media and corrupt politicians.
It's too simple to blame the voters of any particular party when the main culprits are the individuals who just can't be bothered with politics. They don't want to get involved so they don't vote yet they complain when their taxes go up or their civil rights are taken away
Georgia lawmakers passed an amendment that would strip Delta Airlines of a tax break on jet fuel after the company publicly excoriated the state’s newly enacted election integrity law.
Republicans in the Georgia House of Representatives narrowly passed an amendment that would revoke the tax break, costing the Atlanta-based Delta tens of millions of dollars per year, according to Forbes.

During a press briefing, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki revealed that Joe Biden is “absolutely” committed to nominating a Black woman to the Supreme Court.During his campaign, Biden promised to put a Black woman on the nation’s highest court in order to appeal to the critical race theorists of the Democrat Party. The campaign promise was put in the spotlight as a reporter asked Psaki if the Biden team was considering giving favorable chances to political nominees of certain skin color.Biden’s campaign pandering came back to the spotlight after he released his first federal judicial picks, a group of 11 attorneys

Cities in parts of the U.S. that slashed their police department funding last year, in part as a result of police-involved shootings, have seen an uptick in certain crimes over the past year, according to data analyzed by Fox News. Cities such as Los Angeles, Minneapolis, New York City, Portland, Ore., and Austin, Texas, have shifted funds from police departments to social services programs. Such cuts have led some departments to lay off officers, cancel recruiting classes or retreat from hiring goals.
President Joe Biden said he would “strongly support” moving the Major League Baseball All-Star Game out of Atlanta because of Georgia’s new voting law that critics say may suppress turnout at the ballot box.
Biden spoke to ESPN’s Sage Steele in an 11-minute interview Wednesday night, saying he would back the MLB if the league decided to move the July 13 game out of Georgia in response to the GOP-backed election reform signed last month by Republican Gov. Brian Kemp.(Snip) Biden characterized the new law–which adds a photo ID requirement for voting absentee by mail and bans
A North Carolina man has been nabbed in a cold-blooded road-rage shooting that left a mom-of-six dead, authorities said Thursday. Dejywan Floyd, 29, of Lumberton, was arrested early Thursday on first-degree murder charges in the death of 47-year-old Julie Eberly, the Robeson County Sherriff’s Office said. The arrest comes a week after Eberly was shot through the passenger door of her car as she and her husband, Ryan, were on their way to celebrate their anniversary in Hilton Head. The couple was driving on Interstate 95 in Lumberton when her husband accidentally cut off another motorist.
The Biden administration is granting thousands of illegal border crossers one-year renewable permits to stay in the United States to apply for asylum, a process that can take years.
What’s more, according to a new report, they are allowed to receive Social Security cards, paving the way to government benefits and jobs.
Immigration expert Todd Bensman, who has been embedded in the process for the Center for Immigration Studies, said in a new report that an estimated 34,000 recent border crossers have already been distributed around the country with the documents.
There are 10 new ideas that are changing America, maybe permanently.
1) Money is a construct. It can be created from thin air. Annual deficits and aggregate national debt no longer matter much.
Prior presidents ran up huge annual deficits, but at least there were some concessions that the money was real and had to be paid back. Not now. As we near $30 trillion in national debt and 110 percent of annual GDP, our elites either believe permanent zero interest rates make the cascading obligation irrelevant, or the larger the debt, the more likely we will be forced to address needed income redistribution.
2) Laws are not necessarily binding
The Virginia Supreme Court ruled Thursday that Confederate statues of Robert E. Lee and Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson in Charlottesville can be removed, after a years-long legal battle involving attempts to preserve the historic Civil War memorials. Justice S. Bernard Goodwyn said the city of Charlottesville could take the statues down because a 1997 law protecting war memorials did not apply retroactively to statues erected before the law was passed. “In the present case, the statues were erected long before there was a statute which both authorized a city’s erection of a war memorial or monument and regulated the disturbance of or interference
President Joe Biden has introduced a gargantuan spending bill ostensibly aimed at shoring up and expanding America’s crumbling infrastructure, but as usual, there are a lot of things in the measure completely unrelated to ‘infrastructure.’To be sure, the measure would spend hundreds of billions on roads, bridges, airports, and so forth. In fact, a Washington Post analysis found that the bill earmarks $650 billion for those kinds of projects.But again, that’s just $650 billion out of $2.2 trillion. So — if this is an ‘infrastructure’ spending bill, where is the other two-thirds of the money (that we don’t have) going?
Major Liability? Biden's Dog Bites Another

I previously wrote about the historical and legal perspectives of a biting incident involving one of the presidential pets, Major.
Both Biden German Shepherds (Major and Champ) were previously whisked out of town. They were then quietly brought back.
Now Major has bitten another person who reportedly required medical attention. In the prior column, I noted that under tort law a dog is afforded (at most) “one free bite” before strict liability applies. Major could now be treated as a known vicious animal for liability purposes.(Snip) he difference between “nipped” and “bitten” is that you are bitten by other people’s dogs. Your dog however only nips, which is somewhere
The Associated Press reported just over a week ago that Premiere Networks, the syndicator who spread the late Rush Limbaugh’s booming voice across the fruited plain, has announced that it isn’t changing course anytime soon.
Premiere Networks, the company that syndicated Limbaugh’s afternoon program to some 600 radio stations across the country, said Monday that it would continue airing a series of guest hosts that play archival audio footage of the late personality. Limbaugh died of cancer on Feb. 17.
“No one can replace Rush Limbaugh, and Premiere Networks will continue to provide millions of loyal listeners with the voice of Rush for the long term,” said Rachel Nelson, company spokeswoman.
