Are you up to the challenge of a career in mainstream journalism?

There’s no more noble aspiration than that of one day becoming a professional journalist, but many may feel intimidated or unequipped to pursue such an impressive career. Do you think you have what it takes? Here, from our friends at the Babylon Bee, are nine qualifications needed for a career as a professional journalist. 

1. Burning desire to seek the truth: And if the truth you discover isn’t what you were hoping, just come up with something else. 

2. Have an IQ no higher than 45: Any more than that, and CNN won’t even consider you. 

3. Be OK working for peanuts: That’s not a metaphor, media companies are struggling so much they can’t compensate you with money. 

4. Possess an undying desire to rid the world of the evil that is the United States: You can’t just allow freedom and democracy to keep running roughshod over the world. 

5. Ability to pass a lie detector test while lying: It’s a skill possessed by the greatest reporters. 

6. Willingness to be verbally abused by Donald Trump: Even though most of it is probably true. 

7. Be a hot blonde woman in a tight dress: This tip is specifically for people wanting to work at Fox News. 

8. No actual training in reporting facts: You don’t want actual news to get in the way of telling your predetermined story. 

9. Be a registered Democrat: This is the most important one. 

If you check all the boxes listed above, you too could be on your way to being part of the greatest threat to America.

UPDATED: "Allahu akbar!" in Manchester UK

Today is Yom Kippur -- the Day of Atonement -- the holiest day in the Jewish calendar. In grimy Manchester, a post-industrial city in the Disunited Kingdom, there are two fewer Jews to attone.

And one less [insert whatever adjective you think fits] terrorist two. Police say they have shot a suspect in an attack outside a synagogue in the north of Manchester in which two people were killed, adding they are treating it as a "terrorist" attack. 

Greater Manchester Police said in a series of posts on X today that they were called to the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation synagogue in Crumpsall shortly after 0930 BST by a member of the public, who said he had witnessed a car being rammed into people and that one man had been stabbed. 

Police confirmed that two people were killed in the attack, and a third person, suspected to be the attacker, who was shot dead by police. The Peelers could not confirm if the suspect was dead "due to safety issues surround suspicious items [read: explosives] on his person." Nor could they give any information on the attacker's identity, background, religion or possible motivation. The lickspittle media have already broadcast the usual disclaimers.

If it turns out that our suspicions are correct, you might hear about it on your local TV outlet, following the sports and weather. Or not. But you'll get the truth right here on WWW.

UPDATE ADDED at 1410 FMT: Suspicions confirmed! Here's the stabby Jew-killer, identified as a 35-year-old British citizen of Syrian descent, named (appropriately enough) Jihad Al-Shamie.

Inspector Knacker of the Manchester constabulary told reporters, "We are now able to confirm that, although formal identification is yet to take place, we believe the person responsible for today’s attacks is 35-year-old Jihad Al-Shamie." He did not, however, say anything about Mr Al-Shamie's possible motive. Sez Walt, "shame, shame on Shamie!"

Meme for a mid-September Sunday

Trump wins 14 of 15 states - libs getting hysterical already

You don't need me to tell you the results, eh. Super Tuesday was (as he said) really Super for President Trump, who already has something like 1000 of the delegate votes he needs to win the Republican nomination.

Nikki Haley didn't congratulate him though, much like offer support. Having spent some $117 million (of other people's money) to win 20 delegates (from Vermont and the Swamp), she now has the chutzpah to say The Donald nees to reach out to all those who voted for her. Yeah... sure...

I watched the results on the Big 3 for a few minutes last night. I started with NBC but had to change channels after about 5 minutes because I could feel my dinner coming up. CBS and ABC weren't much better. The common theme was that the End of Democracy in America is getting near, and all right- ["left-". surely. Ed.] thinking people must do whatever it takes (now that weaponizing the courts has failed) to stop the Orange Man.

Here are two samples of the kind of unbiased commentary featured in the lickspittle media yesterday. One is actual, and one is satire. See if you can tell which one is the real libtard hysteria.  

Mainstream Media Warn If Trump Is Elected He Might Indict His Political Enemies, Imprison Detractors, And Rig Elections In His Favor

Mainstream media outlets warned this week that if former President Trump is re-elected, he might indict his political enemies, imprison opposing journalists, and change the voting rules of future elections to favor his party. 

"If none of the Democrats' 73 indictments against Trump work, Trump might gain the power to have political opponents indicted," warned MSNBC commentator Rachel Maddow. "It's terrifying to think what could happen if a President were to wield the power to bankrupt opponents with bogus charges or intimidate journalists with legal threats. We are talking a danger the likes of which we have never, ever seen." 

Other outlets were reportedly quick to also sound the alarm, with CNN running a four-hour segment on how the DOJ must jail Republicans in order to keep Republicans from gaining the power to jail political opponents. CBS News, having recently seized confidential records from a journalist, called for the imprisonment of any journalist who does not write what the government tells them to write. 

"It's the only way to stop Trump from threatening journalists," explained CBS News President Ingrid Ciprian-Matthews. "We have to bend or break every moral and ethical rule in existence to keep Trump from breaking the rules." 

As of publishing time, Trump had been indicted for mass murder after telling his supporters that he promised to drain the D.C. swamp and get rid of all the corruption in the federal government. SOURCE

The New York Times is facing backlash over its coverage of Donald Trump and the 2024 election

The New York Times is facing a sustained wave of backlash. The Gray Lady has for several weeks been in the crosshairs of a vocal set of critics and readers who believe that Donald Trump poses a grave threat to American democracy and that the influential news organization isn’t adequately conveying those stakes to the public. 

Criticism of The Times is nothing new, but as it appears with each passing day that Trump has a real shot of recapturing the White House, the expressions of disapproval have become particularly pronounced. In the view of its critics, The Times has been far too distracted as of late by worries over President Joe Biden’s age, allowing it to steal attention away from the larger and far more serious danger posed by a second Trump administration. 

Critics have also argued that The Times covers Biden and Trump with disproportionate standards, placing false equivalence on issues surrounding the current president to those of the former president, who is facing 91 criminal counts and fantasized about being a dictator on “day one.” 

The latest salvo in the now weeks-long stream of criticism against The Times burst into view over the weekend when the newspaper published a poll it conducted with Siena College that found a majority of Biden voters believe he is too old to be an effective president. That poll touched off a torrent of angry commentary directed at the outlet, with some readers even declaring on social media that they had decided to cancel their subscriptions. 

“That they even asked this question is evidence of the bias — the agenda — in their poll,” Jeff Jarvis, the Leonard Tow Professor of Journalism Innovation at the CUNY Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism, posted on Threads. “Who made age an ‘issue’? The credulous Times falling into the right-wing’s projection. This is not journalism. Shameful.” “NY Times, did you ask your random voters whether Trump is too insane, doddering, racist, sexist, criminal, traitorous, hateful to be effective as President?” Jarvis asked, adding, “This is not a poll. It is your agenda.” 

Bill Carter, a media critic who spent the bulk of his career as a media reporter for The Times, suggested on Monday that the newspaper is, of course, imperfect. Carter conceded that “there are occasions when the paper’s coverage seems less attuned to the changing realities of our political dynamic” and that “not enough is made of the fact that one side treats things like truth and science as opponents to be fought and denounced.” 

“There might be some point to the accusation that the media have not sufficiently rung the alarms to alert the nation to an existential threat to democracy,” Carter said. “But if Democrats lose to Trump after all THAT coverage, the fault will not be in the media, but in themselves.” SOURCE

If you can't guess which one is "real", click 'SOURCE' to go to the actual article. You'll see a lot more of that bullshit in the coming weeks, as the lickspittle media, as well as their "progressive" masters, are quaking in their boots. I love it!

What the mainstream media don't like to report

Agent 3 had a lot of time on his hands today, so has been reading the online news more thoroughly than usual. Do the lickspittle media tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth (he asks)?

Certainly not, when it comes to facts that might throw shade on the oppressed members of "marginalized communities". 

You know who we mean. Here's an example, the entirety of a report on CTV News about arrests recently made in Peel Region, west of Toronto.

The most populous areas of Peel Region are the cities of Brampton and Mississauga, in which the visible minorities are white.

Six arrested following series of shootings in Peel Region

Six men face more than 30 charges in total following a three-month investigation by Peel Regional Police into a rash of gun violence.

Police say separate shootings between Aug. 13 and Oct. 3 of this year saw multiple homes and vehicles hit by gunfire, and a 27-year-old man suffered severe injuries.

They say six suspects, all men between the ages of 19 and 21 have been arrested on a range of charges, including attempted murder and various weapons-related offences.

All six were held in custody pending a bail hearing.

In addition to the arrests, police say officers also seized four illegal handguns and more than 50 rounds of ammunition.

The investigation involved officers from the 22 Division Criminal Investigations Bureau (CIB), 11 Division CIB, Specialized Enforcement Bureau, Intelligence, Emergency Support Services and Uniform Patrol.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published Oct. 23, 2022.

That's it. That's all she wrote. Do you have any questions? Suspicions? Agent 3's search turned up the CP24 version of the same story, headlined

Six people charged in four separate shootings in Peel Region

Six people have been arrested in connection with four separate shootings in Peel Region over a three-month period.

In a news release on Saturday evening, Peel Regional Police announced the arrests in the shootings that occurred between Aug. 13 and Oct. 3.

Police say multiple residential units and vehicles were struck by gunfire in all the incidents. They add that a 27-year-old man suffered severe injuries in one of the shootings.

As a result of a multi-unit investigation, police said they seized four illegal handguns and more than 50 rounds of ammunition and laid more than 30 charges.

The six suspects have been identified as 20-year-old Kevonte Marksman, 20-year-old Elijah Kerridge-Lall, 20-year-old Shamar Lindsay, 20-year-old Nayshawn Oakley, 19-year-old Marquez Senior and 21-year-old Tyanthony Yee-Brown.

The emphasis of the penultimate paragraph is Agent 3's. There's one more paragraph, the usual plea that anyone with information contact the cops. 

What (Agent 3 asks) do you suppose accounts for CTV News' failure to include the names of those charged? It's odd, considering the CTV News and CP24 are all part of the Bell Media conglomerate. It's odd, too, that neither report had mug shots of the accused. Not odd at all is the fact that neither report used the words "black" or "Black".

VIDEO: Rex Murphy tells why he won't be silenced by the cancel culture

Ed. here. I've told Walt that I am coming to grips with the new Blogger GUI and that, for the time being, we can still use the "legacy interface". I've also passed along messages from a number of readers [How many? Walt] saying they will be disappointed if we give up now, so close to what may be a pivotal moment in American (and therefore world) history.

Walt has suggested that we put up some videos until he feels like writing again. Fortunately, the premiere episode of Season Two of the True North Speaker Series went live yesterday. In this hour-and-a-quarter video, TN founder Candice Malcolm sits down with the legendary Rex Murphy, whose videos and writings have been featured on WWW several times over the years.

Mr Murphy can be counted on to provide a much needed dose of common sense in a world where good sense is anything but common. In this exclusive interview, he discusses with Ms Malcolm a wide range of issues including the COVID-19 pandemic, the changes in the media landscape over the past several decades and the totalitarian impulses on the left. This is primarily for Canadians, but our American friends should find it even more relevant.



Walt here. This interview has been a great inspiration to me. If Rex Murphy won't be silenced, neither will I!

Media don't know how to spin White Settlement church shooter story

As the Babylon Bee points out, the gun control (read: seizure) crowd and the lamestream media are having a tough time dealing with the killing of an attacker who started shooting up the Church of Christ in White Settlement [sic] TX yesterday. The Bee sez: News outlets...reminded the nation that they reserve the right to immediately bury mass shooting stories that don't help push their agenda. Outlets like CNN, MSNBC, and ABC News confirmed that they carefully look over the facts of a given case to see if it lines up with the correct opinions before deciding to push it incessantly for weeks on end.

If you think the Bee is making all that up, check out this "correction" which appeared this afternoon on the website of Canada's Global TV News.

That's really all ye need to know about liberal media bias. But anyhoo... The correct version of the story goes like this.

During the Sunday morning service at the church, a man identified today as Keith Thomas Kinnunen, 43, of River Oaks TX, a small city near White Settlement, got up from his pew and approached someone at the back of the church before pulling out a gun and opening fire. Congregants screamed and ducked under pews, but one had the presence of mind to keep shooting video.

Another worship decided that shooting a gun would be better than shooting video. The hero of the day was Jack Wilson, a gentleman who is both a member of the church security team and a candidate for Hood County commissioner. He fired a single shot which killed the attacker instantly. Two members of the congregation, were also killed during the incident.

The late Mr Kinnunen has been described by an FBI official as a "relatively transient" person (whatever that means) with roots in the area. The TX Dept of Public Safety said he was from River Oaks, a suburb of Houston.

The FBI say he had a previous arrest record, but have not given any details. His motive is still "under investigation". Stay tuned... but don't hold your breath. You won't hear any more unless Mr Kinnunen turns out to have been a "white supremacist", of the type who would shoot up a white church in, errr, White Settlement TX.

UPDATED: London terrorist identified as Muslim. Sorry, suckers!

Notice is hereby given to those who took Walt's bet, at 100-1 odds, that the terrorist who killed two and injured three others on London Bridge yesterday would not be a British-born white Christian (or Jew): YOU LOSE. Sorry (NOT). Walt's lifetime pct .977.

Late yesterday, Inspector Knacker of the Yard [in reality, Metropolitan Police Chief Dick... really. Ed.] said the attacker was Usman Khan, a 28-year-old who was released on probation last year after serving six years for terrorism offences.

Mr Khan is not related to London Mayor Sadiq Khan, a peaceful, moderate Muslim. UPDATE ADDED at 0830. He is now identified as "British". His family is from Pakistan-controlled Kashmir. He was convicted in 2012 of terrorism offences and released in December 2018 "on licence," which means he had to meet certain conditions or face reincarceration [not reincarnation. Ed.] The other Mr Khan -- the mayor -- says now that there should be an investigation regarding his -- the terrorist's -- early release from prison.

Several British media outlets reported that he was wearing an electronic ankle bracelet. Basu said Khan was attending a London event hosted by Learning Together -- a Cambridge-based organization that works to educate prisoners -- when he launched the attack, killing a man and a woman and injuring three others.

None of the (((controlled media))) which Walt has checked so far have mentioned the religion or ethnicity of the late Usman Khan. Although his attack on innocent passers-by was quickly labelled "an act of terrorism", the word "Islamic" has yet to appear. Nor has anyone called Mr Khan a Muslim, even though that's what he was. Some of the lamestream media have not even shown his picture, although it has been available on Wikipedia since his 2012 conviction. No need to stoke the fires of Islamophobia, right?

Walt will refrain from saying "Told ya so!" But... those who have eyes to see, let them see. And remember, the truth is not "out there". It's here!

Footnote: Thanks to the anonymous reader who told us that the term used by Dutch police to describe the copycat (?) who wounded three people in yesterday's attack in the Grote Marktstraat of The Hague is "licht vertint", meaning slightly tinted. The attacker is still at large.

American Hero!

This excellent meme and the accompanying story were made up by the drollsters at the Babylon Bee, which is on Walt's daily reading list. Their headline is:

Media Scrambles To Fact-Check Image Of Trump

Riding Hero DogInto Massive Space Battle

The story is that the hair of the never-Trumpers at the New York Times, WaPo and CNN was set on fire by the meme, supposed tweeted by Still-President Trump, and went into a frenzy of fact-checking to portray Mr Trump as a liar and braggart yada yada yada. I don't want to reprint the whole article, but have to share this excerpt.

"Looks like we've got a live one, boys," said one editor [of the Times]. "Err--I mean, non-gender-conforming persons. Let's fact-check this puppy." An army of fact-checkers then got to work, running the image through advanced fact-checking software.... Sure enough, many of the pixels seemed not to line up quite right, plus fact-checkers discovered that several elements of the image were entirely fictional.

"The presence of a Cylon Basestar in the image casts doubt on its authenticity right away," said Bart Tucker, head fact-checker at the Washington Post. "We were also able to trace the image of the sandworm to the cover of Avalon Hill's 1979 board game Dune, so we can discredit that element of the space battle in any case."

Further historical research suggested that nearly every element of the picture was fake, from TIE fighters and the Death Star to the looming Borg Cube. "This president is trying to mislead the people with this meme," said a CNN spokesperson. "We are only OK with politicians who mislead people with regards to the effects of their healthcare policies or their Native American heritage, not presidents who tell jokes and have fun."

Thanks sooo much to the folks at the Bee for brightening our Blue Monday and setting the proper tone of skepticism for this week's lamestream media reports on the impeachment witchhunt.

Media impeachment frenzy continues, Walt waits for real news

Meanwhile, back in Washington, the impeachment process contiues, or so they say. Nancy Pelosi is handing out subpoenas like cookies, and the world waits with bated breath for the first witness to testify. Will we ever hear from the whistleblower? Or the deep stater(s) who told the whistleblower the "information" contained in his report? I hear the committee that oversees the Pulitzer prize is having trouble knowing whether to enter it in the "fiction" or "non-fiction" category. Stay tuned.

Meanwhile, Presidential wannabe Andrew Yang is worried that if impeachment dominates the 24-hour news cycle ["If"??? Ed.], it will hurt the Dumbocrats who are trying to win over swing voters who have been impacted by automation associated with the Fourth Industrial Revolution. [Huh? Ed.] In a podcast interview with CNBC yesterday, Mr Yang said "I think the Trump-centered media narrative is generally not helpful because there's a real Democratic tendency to say that Trump is the embodiment of all of our problems. And if we just get him out, the problems go away."

Implicit in that statement is a grudging admission that Still-President Trump is not the problem. If the Dems succeed in putting him out of office (and I'll pay $100 for your $1 if that happens), the problems will persist, and likely become worse. The contrary argument is exactly what Mr Trump called it yesterday -- BULLSHIT!

Canada's "independent" Debate Commission shuts out Max Bernier

Right from the getgo, the "progressive" "forces for good" in Canada's chattering classes -- the politicians and the (((controlled media))) -- determined that it would be dangerous to allow Maxime Bernier, leader of the People's Party of Canada, to give a voice to the millions of Canucks who are sick, sore and tired of the prevailing liberal orthodoxy.

God help anybody who dared to utter a politically incorrect word or even think a politically incorrect thought about things like "refugees", immigration and multiculturalism. The cult of "diversity" reigns supreme in the Great No-longer-white North, and anyone who dared to challenge the conventional wisdom was to be silenced.

When "Mad Max" announced the formation of the People's Party last fall, Elections Canada (a creature of the Canadian government, Just In Trudeau, Prop.) decreed that it wasn't a party, and couldn't be until it had so many thousand members. Done, and quick too! Well, then, they said, you can't be a party until you have fielded candidates in a certain number of elections or by-elections. Done! So, in February, Elections Canada reluctantly allowed that, yes, the PPC was officially a party, and could start giving out tax receipts for donations. End of story? Not quite?

Canada's lamestream media stepped in at this point and made a secret agreement that even if M Bernier was technically the leader of a political party, he wouldn't be treated as such, and would be "deplatformed" -- not given any but the barest minimum opportunity to speak through the mainstream print and broadcast channels.

The CBC (Canadian Broadcorping Castration) is the worst offender to the notion of allowing all voices to be heard. Elizabeth May, the leader of Canada's Green Party appears regularly on the CBC's political programmes, even though the party has only one seat (hers) in the House of Commons. (Overheard at an Ottawa restaurant: "May? Party of one?") She will be allowed to participate in the televised Leaders' Debates to be held in October, ahead of the federal election, even though her party has only one plank -- close down Canada's oil industry -- in its platform.

Logic would seem to dictate that Max Bernier would also participate, since the People's Party has a seat -- his -- in the House of Commons. And he has lots to talk about. Not just the environment, the economy, and foreign policy, but also refugees, immigration and "diversity", which the media (Hello, Chantal Hébert! Hello Toronto Star! Hello CBC!) keep telling us are non-issues, of no interest to the Canadian people.

If you think "Mad Max" -- who has been described by the (((controlled media))) as a "racist" and (shudder) "populist" (gasp!) -- is going to get a chance to debate those "non-issues" with the other leaders, you are wrong! For the "independent" Leaders' Debate Commission -- like Elections Canada a creature of the Liberal government -- has invited the leaders of five political parties, including the Greens and the Bloc Québecois, to participate in the October debates. But Maxime Bernier, errr, NO!

Why not?! The transparently flimsy excuse the debate organizing group has come up with is that the People's Party has not yet met one of the criteria to participate in the televised debates, namely that the party isn't represented in the House of Commons by an MP who was elected as a member of that party. M Bernier, a former cabinet minister in the government of Steve Harpoon, was re-elected in 2015 as a Conservative, before before leaving the "Conservatives" to start the PPC.

Beyond that, the Commissioner said in a letter to M Bernier, a survey of recent opinion polls, including the CBC News Poll Tracker (!!), led him to conclude that the People's Party would have a difficult time actually getting one of its candidates elected in October's general election. So if the polls already say you're not going to win, why should you speak in the debate? That's the "logic" employed by the Liberals and their media sycophants.

M Bernier told the media that itès not fair to rely on current polling data, given how well populist parties in other Western democracies have fared in recent elections. He said the PPC has an "excellent chance for rapid growth" if Canadians get a chance to hear the party's message.

According to M Bernier, "The PPC represents a unique perspective, and is the only party that offers distinct policy positions on several topics that are at the heart of political debates, including immigration, climate change, freedom of expression, corporate welfare, foreign aid, supply management, and many other topics."

In its report on this story today, the CBC called these "right-wing policy proposals". Perhaps they are afraid that, as M Bernier claims, the PPC's positions on these issues are similar to those of a large minority, or even a majority of Canadians. Said M Bernier, "Canadians have the right to hear views that differ from those of established parties."

From the outrage being voiced on social media, even in the "Comments" section of the CBC's article, it would seem that ordinary Canadians -- those who are not among the elites -- want to hear what "Mad Max" has to say. The Debates Commission is already backing away from the Commissioner's letter, saying that it will give the matter further consideration, and will make a "final decision" on September 16th. Stay tuned.

Quote: "The ruling seems profoundly undemocratic.... Most Canadians, including this one, find many of [the PPC's] policies toxic. But a sizeable minority do not and, as Bernier pointed out, they have a right to hear views that differ from those of more established parties.

VIDEO: Krystal Ball says leftist media "Infowars conspiracy" hurt Dems

Not being a watcher of MSNBC, I had never heard of Krystal Ball until today. Doubting that that could be her real name, I Googled it, and found that according to Wikipedia, Krystal Marie Ball (DOB 24/11/81) is an American journalist [sic], politician ("Democratic" omitted), and news talk anchor on The Hill's news programme Rising with the Hill's Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti. She is also a businesswoman and certified public accountant, which of course made her eminently qualified to co-hos MSNBC's afternoon news/talk show The Cycle from June 2012 to July 2015. In the 2010 election, she ran for the Democratic Party in Virginia's 1st Congressional District. She lost.

Now somewhat removed from the institutional left, Ms Ball has turned (somewhat) on her former employer and colleagues at MSNBC, and admitted publicly that the abortive effort of the (((controlled media))) -- Hello not only to MSNBC but to CNN and the rest! -- to swing the 2016 presidential election and then enact a coup is doing a great deal to the Democrats. In this video, she concedes that the backlash against the Trump-hating media is only starting to play out. The 'Infowars conspiracy theory' on Russia and "this whole setup has done more damage to the Democrats' chances of winning back the White House than anything that Trump could ever have dreamed up." That's what the lady says.

Walt will eschew any jokes about cycles or crystal balls. Just watch the short (6:21) video.

How Canuck lamestream media "whitewash" news of black crime

There was another shooting in northwest Toronto last night. Gangbangers are a real menace in certain parts of "Toronto the Good", which is fast becoming a world-class city, like, errr, Chicago. 95% of the time, the victims are black and so are the perps. Everyone who watches the local newscasts knows it -- just watch the videos of bodies, alive and dead, being wheeled away from the scene on gurneys -- but the (((controlled media))) are deliberately colour-blind on that point.

Particularly reluctant to admit that black crime is a serious problem in the "Greater Toronto Area" is Canada's state-owned broadcaster, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, and its flagship TV station, CBLT. Here's a screen grab of how CBC News reported last night's "incident".

Contrast the last sentence of the text with Inspector Knacker's tweet, immediately below. Notice the missing word in the CBC's suspect description? You might think "independent" media would be a little more honest and realistic, but now that they are to receive some C$650,000,000 from the Liberal government because, as everyone knows, the media are struggling financially, they are being even more circumspect than the CBC. The CBC's biggest rival, CTV, didn't give any suspect information at all!

Tiger Woods "an unworthy recipient of a great honour?"

Speaking of liberal bias (see previous post), let us ask ourselves: What would it take to get the lamestream media to denounce the giving of a medal to an outstanding black athlete? You know the answer, right? If the medal is given by still-President Trump, then it's just so wrong on so many levels!

That's been the response of many in the (((controlled media))) to Monday's awarding by President Trump to Tiger Woods of America's highest civilian honour -- the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Mr Trump describing the 43-year-old black golfer as a "true legend" who transformed golf and then fought through years of injury to return to the sport's summit. Mr Woods is the fourth golfer to earn that distinction, and the youngest. He is one of the greatest to ever play his sport. To recover from multiple back surgeries and rehabs and knee surgeries and win as he did in Augusta is one of the truly amazing stories of this year. What could be wrong with that?

Well, lots, if you listen to or read the usual suspects in the lamestream media. One blogger writes that receiving a nation's highest civilian honour is supposed to be about the totality of a person. That goes to behaviour and contribution and impact outside of a sport. It goes to high moral character and comporting oneself with dignity and grace all the time. In his opinion, Mr Woods doesn't qualify because #MeToo, besides which he's just not a nice person. Nothing to do with being black of course.

If that's so, why did President Trump honour him? Isn't that obvious? It's just an example of Mr Trump's crass desire to take care of his friends! And for that reason, the award "diminishes what should be a grand, grand honour for others." Nothing to do with Mr Woods, really. It's all about Donald Trump.

Elsewhere, NBC Nightly News broadcast a clip of WaPo columnist Eugene Robinson suggesting that the award was diminished. (Apparently a memo has been circulated suggesting the use of that D-word.) "He gives this award, which was a hallow award, maybe someday it will be one again, to people he wants to associate himself with. And so, he likes golf," said Mr Robinson.

Over at the Clinton News Network, Jim Acosta told Wolf Blitzer, "The president’s company, the Trump Organization, hired Tiger Woods to design a golf course at the president's company's golf course in Dubai. That obviously shows that there are some business ties between these two men. And I suppose a critic could argue after watching all of this that there might be somewhat of an advertisement going on here, a TV ad going on here in handing out this Presidential Medal of Freedom to Tiger Woods. It is, in effect, publicizing one of the Trump golf courses there in Dubai that Tiger Woods had a hand in. Although we should point out that particular course has not opened yet." Oh. Yes. Only fair to point that out.

I'm running out of space here, and have room for only two more examples of Trump Derangement Syndrome. CBS News gave airtime to Armen Keteyian, who co-authored a biography about Woods, to say that, yes, Mr Woods deserved the award, but "there's no question there is a branding and a marketing opportunity through the eyes of the President."

And here's my favourite, from an editorial in the Baltimore Sun which managed to sideswipe both the President and Tiger Woods. "Mr Woods has made his choice," the Sun thundered, "and part of his legacy will be embracing a man who incited bigotry and racism," adding that the President "regularly demonizes minorities and emboldens those who hate."

Walt says... Tiger Woods is a great golfer and is still going strong. Donald Trump is still President and will still be President 18 months from now. (Lifetime pct .991.) Get over it!

Candace Owens VIDEO CENSORED by YouTube "restricted" mode

OK, time to shake off the lethargy induced by the lamestream media's obsession with trivia, like who paid a fixer to get their kid into Harvard. Let's take a moment to think about something that has real meaning.

On April 9th, conservative commentator and political activist Candace Owens testified before the House Judiciary Committee. Ms Owens is the Director of Communications at the conservative advocacy group Turning Point USA, and is known for her pro-Trump stance and her criticism of Black Lives Matter and of the Democratic Party. It is therefore remarkable that she was invited to appear before the Committee, but she was and and she did. Her excoriation of the leftist (((controlled media))) created several viral moments, one of which became the most-watched C-SPAN video of a House hearing on Twitter.

You might think that would guarantee that the clip would go viral on YouTube. You would be wrong, because the clip, posted by PragerU, has been placed in "restricted mode", meaning that the video is censored from all users that have enabled the website's "restricted mode" feature, which typically include libraries, schools, public institutions, or any place frequented by younger viewers.

Supposedly that's to block videos that (((someone))) has been deemed "inappropriate", such as those containing pornography or violence. Or those that tell the truth about the lamestream media's current campaign against "white nationalism" and "hate crimes". Said Ms Owens, "If they were serious about the rise of hate crimes, [the leftist media] would be examining themselves and the hate they have drummed up in this country." Check this out.



This is not the first of PragerU's videos to have ended up on the YouTube fecal roster. Dennis Prager, the organization's founder, told Breitbart News last February that 80 of their 400 videos are on the "restricted" list, "lumped with pornography and violence, so that kids in libraries and schools can't see them. If you are not on the left, you are to be shut down. We have never, ever had anything like this in American history. We are in a dark age because of the left's control of Silicon Valley, academia, and media. It' a dark age that we are living in right now, and it is entirely left-wing induced."

VIDEO: People's Party candidate kills at Burnaby South debate

This is a follow-up to our quiz last Tuesday in which you were invited to spot the People's Party of Canada candidate in a pic of the six candidates contesting the by-election in the Canadian electoral district of Burnaby South. The PPC candidate is Laura-Lynn Tyler Thompson, who looks like a winner to me!

Today we have a video, posted to YouTube by a convert to the PPC, in which Ms Tyler Thompson debates the others on the topic "Can Canada survive Facebook?" -- the role on the issues of free speech and the censorship of politically incorrect opinions in the lamestream media. You'll enjoy seeing her eviscerate the pinko NDP candidate -- Jagmeet Singh, the one who the media say is going to win -- and the others. Listen to what this woman has to say. How could you not vote for her?!



The by-election will be held on February 25th. Walt isn't taking bets, because it's pretty hard for the candidate of a brand new party to win on the first go-round, but I'll sure be watching!

MSM - The truth is not out there! The truth is HERE!

Trust in the lamestream media is at an all time low. There are heavy agendas at work, and people have noticed. Much of the "news" purveyed by the likes of the Clinton News Network, MSNBC, Canadian Broadcorping Castration and even ESPN is either fake or so biased it might as well be fake. Conservative/Republican/alt-Right BAD!
Liberal/Democrat/antiFa/SJW/"progressive" good. Just compare the coverage of the same story -- any story -- on (for example) CNN and Fox News. Are they reporting on the same event? Are they living on the same planet?

More problematic, in terms of getting the truth, is what the lamestream media don't tell us. Anything that doesn't fit the liberal narrative, or makes the "progressive" flavour-of-the-month look bad, is suppressed. In a lame effort to show that it is fair and unbiased (as it should be, since it's taxpayer-funded), the CBC allows comments on its news site. But only sometimes. And only some comments! Two of Walt's readers have been having fun trying to post disparaging words about Canada's SJW "Minister of Global Affairs". They are competing to see who can get more comments "pinked" (= disabled). One of them, who I'll identify only as "JU" is currently in the lead, having been banned from the boards for three week. The words "hate crime" were used in the notice of his punishment.

Here's another example. This week I put up a post on the latest terror attack in London, in which "someone" drove a car into a crowd outside Westminster, the British parliament building. It took two days for the London police and the state-owned BBC to provide any information about the attacker. When the facts could be suppressed no longer, they finally admitted the would-be killer was "a British citizen", to which they added, almost in a whisper "born in another country". Turns out the other country was Sudan, a predominantly Muslim country in Africa.

But wait (as Vince Offer used to say), there's more. From Breitbart News (a source routinely disparaged by the LSM) we learn that Salih Khater "came to Britain after spending two years in Libya, and was granted asylum by the British government. Just weeks before what police are treating as an attempted terror attack, Khater was granted full British citizenship. And yes, he's a Muslim. (To be fair, Breitbart cribbed their report from the Times of London, one of the least worst mainstream sources.)

The media, academia and the clever folks in Hollywood still can't get over the fact that Donald Trump won the election in spite of their strenuous efforts. Alleged people like Joy Behar jsut can't get over it! They rail against POTUS for every supposedly evil deed, word or even thought committed since his election, or before it, or expected to be committed in the future (e.g. starting a war with Iran).

At the moment they're consigning him to hell for having supposedly used the word "nigger" --  notice I didn't wimp out and refer to it as "the N-word" -- a decade or so ago. And for calling a woman of colour a "dog", even though the Donald has used the same epithet, recently, to describe a number of white men. Honestly, dear reader, who amongst us has never in his life called people names like that... or worse?

Fortunately, it doesn't matter. Outside of the chattering classes on the coasts, no-one cares. No-one is even listening! Last week, more viewers tuned in to the history channel and HGTV than CNN. Fox news is still the most-viewed news channel. In the (((controlled media))) you'll find all the "truth" that (((George Soros'))) of Jeff Bezos' or can buy, or that the liberal democratic governments of Canada and Britain will allow. But the real truth is over here, in the wonderful world of blogs and independent media.

MSM News: "Don't jump to conclusions!" (etc etc)

By the sheerest coincidence, this excellent cartoon appeared on Blazing Cat Fur (highly recommended!) just in time for last night's shooting in Toronto's Greektown. See this morning's first post, below.

Of course we mustn't jump to conclusions! LMAO

Anti-Trump fake news (and other BS) - MAKE IT STOP!

You've seen it, right... the cover of the upcoming issue of TIME which implies... strongly... that President Trump is singlehandedly and personally responsible for tearing a two-year-old toddler from the arms of her illegal immigrant mother? Did you see the one on the left, from the June 16th Daily News, which makes the same point rather less subtly.

The Washington Post and the Clinton News Network were quick to lavish praise on TIME's cover design when it was released yesterday, calling it "powerful" and "resonant". CNN had a long article in which the writer raved that the cover "shows the compassion gap that exists between the Trump administration's 'zero-tolerance' border policy and the real-life people that are affected."

Unfortunately for the (((controlled media))) in general and TIME in particular, CBS News actually did a little fact-checking, reporting today that one of the border agents who encountered the girl and her mother told them [CBS] that little Yanela Denise was crying due to thirst and lack of sleep. "We were patrolling the border. It was after 10 o'clock at night," border agent Carlos Ruiz said. "We asked her to set the kid down in front of her, not away from her, she was right in front of her...so we can properly search the mother. So the kid immediately started crying as she set her down. I personally went up to the mother and asked her 'Are you doing OK? Is the kid OK?' and she said, 'Yes. She's tired and thirsty. It's 11 o'lock at night."

But wait (as Vince Offer used to say), there's more. The border agent said the little girl and her mother were together... right? Right. And that's the way the girl's father tells it too! Other meeja types caught up with Denis Javier Varela Hernandez, who was still in the family's native Honduras. He told them he'd learned that his daughter and her mother weren't separated at all, but detained at a facility in Texas.

Sandra Sanchez, the girl's mother, had previously been deported to Honduras in 2013. According to Mr Hernandez, she left without telling him she was taking Yanela with her and he was unable to contact her. Then he saw the picture on the news. "You can imagine how I felt when I saw that photo of my daughter," he told the UK's Daily Mail. "It broke my heart. It's difficult as a father to see that, but I know now that they are not in danger. They are safer now than when they were making that journey to the border."

Today TIME admitted they'd blotted their copybook in this "correction":

But, TIME said in a lightning-fast reverse, "The June 12 photograph of the 2-year-old Honduran girl became the most visible symbol of the ongoing immigration debate in America for a reason. Under the policy enforced by the administration, prior to its reversal this week, those who crossed the border illegally were criminally prosecuted, which in turn resulted in the separation of children and parents. Our cover and our reporting capture the stakes of this moment." So that's all right, then.

"Callous. Soulless. Craven." Yes indeed, lovers of liberty everywhere. Trump is a monster. That's what TIME and the rest of the lamestream media would have you think, and they've been hammering away at that theme every blessed day since Mr Trump was elected. It doesn't matter what POTUS says or does because it's evil, pure evil, all the time. And that goes for his family too, as witness the hoorah over what was written on the back of Melania Trump's coat when she went to visit the holding facilities in TX to see for herself if all the fuss is justified. The New York Times headlined (((Vanessa Friedman's))) piece, "Melania Trump, Agent of Coat Chaos".

Dear readers, arentcha getting sick, sore and tired of the endless negativity, the ceaseless bashing and trashing of President Trump, his family and all his works? Watching or listening to the "news" on any outlet except Fox (or Canada's The Rebel) makes me want to SCREAM. So it was that I was delighted to read the following "report" on The Onion, yesterday. I quote their earnest plea for an end to all this in its entirety, except for one edit to delete a blasphemous (but common) expression of exasperation. Couldn't have said it better myself.

Claiming that they just couldn't stand this bullshit anymore, Americans across the country confirmed Thursday that someone, anyone needs to please, just make it stop. "Please, please, please, we're begging you here, just put an end to it immediately," said sources, noting that it had all gone way, way too far and they would do almost anything for even a few glorious minutes of respite. "We're on our hands and knees, pleading with you to make it all go away once and for all. What's it going to take? [Blasphemy deleted], just stop it! Stop it right now!" At press time, sources confirmed that they knew deep down it was never going to stop.

Encore en France - "Allahu akbar!"

Associated Press reports that the sleepy town of La Seyne-sur-Mer, in the rather lovely department of Var, in southeastern France, is the latest place to have its sleep disturbed by shouts of "Allahu akbar!".

A woman [not exactly as pictured. Ed.] shouted the slogan, in Arabic -- not in French or English, as reported by AP -- when she slashed at shoppers in a supermarket, wounding two of them with a box cutter.

The attacker has now been detained, AP sez, but the district prosecutor has been coy about the details of the "incident" and what charges, if any, the Muslim woman -- for such she was -- might face.

Lest you think that a boxcutter isn't much of a weapon, don't forget that the 9/11 terrorists -- every one a devout follower of the prophet -- were armed with boxcutters when they hijacked the airliners that they caused to crash into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

For reasons of political correctness -- and reluctance to admit that Islamic terrorists pose a threat to the people of France every day and everywhere -- the authorities are still reluctant to make the connection between such attacks and ISIS, but the similarity to previous Islamic terror attacks, in France and elsewhere, is painfully obvious.

Nigel Farage, former leader of the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP) criticized AP for erroneously reporting that the attacker shouted "God is great" (but in French, bien sûr), in quote marks no less, in a social media bulletin breaking the news, when in fact she shouted "Allahu Akbar". "This," he said "is why people don't trust mainstream media anymore."
