Do Reporters Love Leakers Who Ruin ICE Raids?– www.newsbusters.org

Excerpt:

It’s not often that we associate leakers within the government with criminals — often, they’re just frustrated liberals. But leaking the location of potential ICE raids or leaking American troop locations endangers the safety of Americans. Are reporters going to defend these kinds of leaks?

One way Trump could seek retribution in a second term is by going after leakers who seek to undermine the White House agenda. Anonymous Trump-trashing sources were all the rage in the first term, and that’s what puts the emphasis on the phrase Deep State. Whenever anyone uses that term, think of government actors (or — government actors from the other party who are temporarily out of government) trying to run the government from behind a wall, cooperating with unelected media outlets.

There’s Kash Patel news on this front. Just The News reported the FBI has launched an investigation into “dishonest leakers” inside the bureau who have recently pushed “false information” to the media – leaks that FBI officials say has undermined the mission of the nation’s premiere law enforcement institution.

Tom Jones at Poynter.org led with this today: “The Department of Homeland Security, led by Secretary Kristi Noem, has begun performing polygraph tests on employees to determine if they are leaking information about immigration operations to the media.”

MSNBC Guest Claims ‘Strong Mainstream Nonpartisan’ Media Is Gone. She’s Right… for the WRONG Reason. – RedState– redstate.com

Excerpt:

One of the most bizarre and laughable claims the left can make was made by an MSNBC guest over the weekend. On Saturday’s “The Weekend” on MSNBC — which is peak Trump Derangement Syndrome on steroids — “journalist” Molly Jong-Fast dropped the following gem (emphasis, mine):

There is not the same strong mainstream non-partisan media there was in 2016. It is much, much, much smaller. So it has fallen on a lot of these Democrats — Democratic senators — to narrate what’s happening, to explain what they’ve seen in the last 7 weeks. And I’ve seen some Democrats do that. … If they don’t do it, no one else will.

Oh, Molly, bless your delusional heart.

While Jong-Fast is right— that a strong mainstream non-partisan media has vanished from America — she, like most Democrats, was right for the wrong reason. The “strong mainstream non-partisan media” ship sailed years ago, giving way to a hopelessly biased left-wing media — that now lives and breathes to trash President Donald Trump and all things conservative.

Jong-Fast also paid homage to self-declared “Democrat Socialist” Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and TDS-riddled Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) as examples of “narrating what’s happening.”

You’ve seen Bernie Sanders go in and give town halls where Republicans won’t. Or you’ve seen Chris Murphy narrate — he did a speech on the floor of the Senate where he talked about what had happened in the last six weeks. That kind of stuff — there are some really popular things that Republicans are trying to take away.

 

CBS Gushes Over ‘Trans Influencer’ Dylan Mulvaney Book, Laments ‘Painful’ ‘Hate’– www.newsbusters.org

Excerpt:

Monday’s CBS Mornings had a syrupy puff piece by contributor Natalie Morales on “trans influencer” Dylan Mulvaney ahead of a memoir’s release, lamenting all the “painful” “trans hate” Mulvaney faced due to the Bud Light debacle and claiming Mulvaney thought of dying by suicide because people opposed it.

No opposing viewpoint. All fluffy-yet-pointed demands everyone embrace transgenderism or the threats of suicides loom. It makes sense once you consider this was the show Bud Light parent company Anheuser Busch chose to appear on in June 2023 to defend their actions.

The idiocy began with first of two teases by co-host Vlad Duthiers: “And Natalie Morales talks with transgender trailblazer Dylan Mulvaney, who’s out with a new book about her transition and facing down hate by finding joy in her life.”

Duthiers’s second tease was even dumber: “Alright, ahead, trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney opens up about her journey and navigating the painful fallout from the controversy over an ad campaign for Bud Light. We’ll be right back.”

Co-host and Democrat donor Gayle King had the lead-in to the interview, swooning “Dylan Mulvaney burst onto the scene as a TikTok star” before fretting “perhaps what made her most famous was controversy” and “was targeted after appearing in…a one-off campaign” for Bud Light.

Hit Piece on Data Republican (Small r) Snares Her Husband – PJ Media– pjmedia.com

Excerpt:

Data Republican (small r), whose mad genius database skills have laid bare the corruption and self-dealing between Washington and an army of NGOs, was the subject of a weekend hit piece in the Salt Lake Tribune — and her husband might have gotten the worst of it.

On Sunday, the Trib’s “emerging news reporter,” Brock Marchant, published an article that was little more than a summary of an earlier Rolling Stone piece that Jennica Pounds (Data r) says contains “multiple factual inaccuracies.”

Rather than interview Pounds directly for his report — she isn’t difficult to reach — Marchant contacted her husband, Brent, through his work email. He did so late on Saturday night, mere hours before the 6 a.m. Sunday publication.

Jennica posted that Brent “responded professionally” and explained that “his business activities are entirely separate” from the Data Republican website but that Jennica would reply later. “As a mother, my family responsibilities naturally took priority on a weekend, and I was unable to immediately respond to your inquiry.”

Also, Jennica’s deafness and autism often require assistance for clear communication.

“Instead of allowing me a fair opportunity to reply, you chose to rush publication,” she continued, proving “you prioritize sensationalism over accuracy, fairness, and responsible journalism.”
