Bias news and tossing out a bone to our friends on the dark side of the street to be fair and balanced.
Here are two articles, the first two have a bias slant. The 2nd one I would not consider posting here (read it a few days ago), but it serves as a good example of bias slant (understatement). The facts are accurate, but the descriptions and words used could be slightly more tempered.
1) In the first sentence, the word “interrogate” should be replaced with the word “question” or a less loaded verb.
“The Justice Department will interrogate senior CIA officers as part of an investigation on the origins of the Russia probe.”
https://www.oann.com/doj-to-question-senior-cia-officials-regarding-origins-of-russia-probe/
The second article appears to have a partisan slant. Ok, it’s an opinion piece, but…..
“But the state that Reagan once governed (1967-1975) has become the prime national example of the abject failure of Democratic policies, all of them. Jerry Brown’s imaginary high-speed rail that was to initially run from Bakersfield to Merced in Central California is a bust. The cost was projected to be $77b but has forecast to be $98b! It most likely will never be completed. Billions have been wasted.
“Our state debt is over $1.5t. We have the highest gasoline prices in the nation. Oh, and we are a sanctuary state that protects all manner of illegal immigrants, no matter how serious the crimes they’ve committed. Think Jose Garcia Zanate who killed Kate Steinle. He had been deported seven times but was out and about on the streets of San Francisco with the blessings of SF law enforcement; they aim to protect the criminals at the expense of the law-abiding. ICE is the enemy in sanctuary cities and states, the thugs are victims.
“State taxes in California are the highest in the nation, as are our sales taxes. We fall nearly last in education. We have the most homeless, the most illegal migrants. The state spends $30.b on illegal immigration per year. Like all cities run by progressives, our entire state is a disaster of Democratic making. San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Diego have been overrun by homeless people, most of them drug addicted and/or mentally ill. Entire areas of these cities are befouled by used needles, feces, trash, garbage, rats and now diseases long-thought to be extinct in the West. Persons who work in downtown Los Angeles have contracted typhus! As true in other cites long run by Democrats (Chicago, Baltimore, Seattle, Detroit, Flint) it is the implementation of ridiculous utopian Marxist policies so beloved by progressives that has destroyed these once grand cities. Socialist strategies always fail. Democrats cheat, (ballot harvesting) are re-elected, and the state continues to decline. Venezuela is the current example of the massive failure…….” and on and on it goes, then privets to the media, aka, The Enemy of the People.
“As Levin’s extraordinary and profound book pounds home, our mainstream media is part and parcel of the progressive plan, in Obama’s words, to “fundamentally transform America.” One has only to watch a few minutes of CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, or read the NYT and the WaPo to know this is true. Fake news hardly describes the rubbish they spew and call news. They lie, they calculate, they agree on a phrase of the day and all repeat it like the puppets they are; they seem to think they are masters of neuro-linguistic programming but they are just parrots who repeat what they’ve been directed to say. Since the moment Trump became a candidate for the presidency, they set out to demolish him. Once elected, they shifted into high gear, devised a full-on conspiracy to frame him for crimes he never committed. They are still at it, even though the Mueller Report cleared him. While the facts of their grand plan are being revealed, they still hope to defeat the man. But they will not. The American people are on to them, enough of them anyway. We see our left for what they are, America-hating control freaks who lay waste to everything they touch.”

Walt, great new self portrait there. Is soooo you. Get done on you bad orange self!
Balanced budget talk, like the illegal alien invasion, will drive me batty. Beyond exasperated. Vote for Ron Paul and his three supporters if you want a balanced budget. Heck, there is currently only one Dem in Congress who supports a balanced budget, some oddball that keeps Paul from being a by his lonesome. Ron calls himself Libertarian-R and his cohort in crime Libertarian-D.
—————
The Mayor of Los Angeles ran on the single issue of ending homelessness in the city in ten years. Throwing a billion at the problem has not yet resulted in desired results. In fact, one could easily make the argument that it just made matters worse. The mayor said ten years and he has a few years left to get ‘er done.
Lie is such a ugly word. It is hateful, degrading, and against our community standards. That’s not who we are. I prefer the term ‘unfulfilled promises.’
Trump said ten years? He has plenty of time.

More on soccer. You got to feel tiny Estonia.
Soccer is the world’s game, but women’s soccer is not. Not many countries take women’s soccer seriously and, with the possible exception of the U.S., those that do don’t take it nearly as seriously as they take men’s soccer.
Hence, mismatches like the U.S.-Thailand farce. There just aren’t enough competent women’s teams in some continents to make up a strong world cup field.
At the real World Cup, a mismatch like yesterday’s is nearly impossible. If the best men’s team from Europe or South America played the worst team from Asia or North America, one would expect a 4-6 goal margin of victory. 13-0 is unheard of.
It’s true that Germany defeated Estonia 8-0 yesterday in a men’s game, but not in the World Cup. The Estonia team could never qualify for the World Cup as that tournament is presently constituted. And 8-0 isn’t 13-0.“
It’s a business, stupid! Where’s the beef?
“…n 2015 — the last time the Women’s World Cup took place. The main reason women soccer players aren’t paid as much as men is due to the fact that there is simply less interest from viewers. The lower interest results in less money brought in from advertisers and revenue to the Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA).
“When women’s soccer came to Fox Sports, it averaged about 63,000 viewers, while the men’s team regularly brings in 240,000 viewers per game at ESPN. This changes when the women’s team is in the World Cup. Views at that time rival that of the men’s team — but just for that short period. Chris Chase wrote at USA Today in 2015 that this is more akin to national pride than any love of women’s soccer.
The lower viewership leads to lower revenue. The Washington Post reported in 2015 (while trying to blame sexism) that women’s soccer only brought in $17 million in ad sponsorship for Fox Sports, while the men’s final in 2014 brought ESPN $529 million in ad revenue. Further, the men’s World Cup generated $4.5 billion in direct revenue to FIFA.
And if we really want to talk about equality, the women’s team gets a higher percentage of revenue than the men’s team, yet they neglect to include this fact when complaining about how little they got in bonuses. CBS reported four years ago that the men’s team received 9% of the revenue generated by the 2010 World Cup — which amounted to $348 million. The women’s team received 13% of the 2015 World Cup revenue, but because the women’s team brought in less revenue, they only received $10 million.

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that the Lefty mainstream media is a bit touchy lately and rather defensive? Odd. They are coming out of the woodwork in every direction to say, yes, we are relevant.
This all started at the release of Levin’s new exhaustive book “Unfreedom Of The Press”, which hit #1 on the NYT’s best seller list…#1 in hard bound, download, podcast…all the formats
It’s like they (you know who you are) are running a big ole orchestrated ad campaign. Like, ‘You are in good hands with Allstate” or “Come back to Jamaica”. They really want us to know that we can trust them, they care about us and are devoted solely to “the American people”…come on back, the waters warm. Less animated.
They act all butthurt, like they got bruises now on their upper arms and don’t like being treated with scorn…no sire, not to mention a blend of ridicule seasoned liberally with contempt. They ain’t taking it gracefully. But, they never have.
After Acosta heard about the laugh track added to the video below, he blurted out something about being sick and tired of Trump mocking the media. 🙂

Hands up don’t shoot, uh wait, not so much –
A 20-year-old black man whose Wednesday shooting death by a fugitive task force sparked a night of violence and unrest in a Memphis, Tenn., neighborhood, was wanted for a shooting in Mississippi, according to media reports.
DeSoto County District Attorney John Champion said Brandon Webber was wanted on aggravated assault and armed robbery charges related to a shooting during a car theft in Hernando, Miss., on June 3. The victim was shot five times and survived, Champion said.
Hernando is 35 miles south of Memphis.
U.S. Marshals with the Gulf Coast Regional Fugitive Task Force went looking for Webber at a home in Memphis’ Frayser neighborhood Wednesday. They spotted him getting inside a vehicle, which he used to ram task force vehicles several times, officials said.
Police retreat under a cloud of tear gas as protesters disperse from the scene of a standoff after Frayser community residents took to the streets in anger against the shooting of a youth by U.S. Marshals earlier in the evening, Wednesday, June 12, 2019, in Memphis, Tenn. (Jim Weber/Daily Memphian via AP)
Webber was shot and killed when he got out of the vehicle holding a weapon, Tennessee authorities said. It was not clear how many times he was hit or how many shots were fired.
News of Webber’s death prompted a night of clashes between police and residents in the neighborhood.
Around 36 police officers suffered minor injuries due to bricks and rocks being thrown at them and several police vehicles were damaged. Several officers were taken to hospitals and were later released, according to a Memphis Police Department tweet.

About 9:12 a.m., Urban said, U.S. aircrew saw those Iranians pull a raft from the water after the attack.
The Altair’s crew had been rescued by a cargo ship. At 9:26 a.m., the Iranians asked the crew of the cargo ship, the Hyundai Dubai, to hand over the Altair mariners and they complied, Urban said. Meanwhile, mariners from the other attacked tanker, the Kokuka Courageous, had been rescued by a nearby tug. Urban said the Iranians tried to reach the tug first, but they were outrun by the guided missile Bainbridge, which took the rescued mariners aboard.
“While the Hendijan patrol boat appeared to attempt to get to the tug Coastal Ace before USS Bainbridge, the mariners were rescued by USS Bainbridge,” Urban said.
Four hours later, “an IRGC Gashti Class patrol boat approached the M/T Kokuka Courageous and was observed and recorded removing the unexploded limpet mine from the M/T Kokuka Courageous,” he said.

Pretty insightful that I can bring up three different topics currently on the world stage and all you can do is rally about Huck Finn (Flynn is not Finn) and trolls. You might as well be mynah birds. Or rabbits in the headlights. Do you think Iran is responsible for mining tankers in the gulf? Of course you do. Just like you did in Viet Nam and in Cuba. Maybe if you think for a second, you could tell us what is in it for them? Do they want to engage the US on their soil? If you are a war profiteer, of course that’s what you want the world to believe.

They must be getting nervous. They sent Susan Rice out today to whip up the drumbeat about foreign influence in the WH. Oh, rest assured we will see Susan again, but in a different setting. A whole different setting and it won’t be the talking heads asking her the questions. Been waiting for her. Boy, Sally Yates has been laying low. Wonder who they are going to trot out next? Carville?

That must be one old ass troll! Cuba? LOL! Those mutha mullahs suffer from generations long group think like all dictatorships. They must have listened to 0’s secretary lurch and the socialist dems and grossly miscalculated. Time to put down the rabid dog now that they are broke and have been unable to pay the proxies for a long while and have no depth of anything to last.
Its pretty much imposable to hide anything anymore with the layers of technology especially with the numbers of eyes on the gulf.
Remember the Russian BUK anti aircraft battery that shot down the airliner over Ukraine was undone by social media meta data on the crews facebook picture postings and locals tracking its movement by picture posting. Including the one where it was heading home minus one missile or didn’t that make the talking points for trolls?
We have mutual defense agreements with the NATO article 5 countries and Japan who’s vessels were attacked. DUH!
Don’t we have to stand up for our allies as the dems have yelled for 3 years? Hypocrites.

U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s spokesman sent a profane tweet to a potential Republican challenger as he ripped him for wanting to debate his boss.
“Yo @RichValdes what in the actual f— makes you think you’re entitled to a debate with AOC,” spokesman Corbin Trent tweeted Sunday at the conservative talk radio producer who’s mulling a run against the freshman congresswoman.
Earlier that day, Valdes said he tried to challenge Ocasio-Cortez to a debate on the merits of capitalism versus socialism as they both marched in the National Puerto Rican Day Parade. Valdes claims the democratic socialist “jetted to the other side of street” when he tried to approach her.

They sell oil and after the attack, the price of oil went up.
Iran has used mines in the recent past against commercial ships in that area.
Why don’t we wait and see what other evidence comes in?
Or is Huck claiming people in the US govt would lie?
