Never trust the liberal media!-----Scandal Rap Sheet: 48 Reasons to Distrust & Despise the Media

Scandal Rap Sheet: 48 Reasons to Distrust & Despise the Media - Breitbart:
The American mainstream media is filled to the brim with liars, frauds, partisans, cheats, plagiarists, and those who tolerate, defend and enable all of them. 
There is no American institution — not the NFL, not the tobacco companies, not any corporation or enterprise regularly targeted by the media — that engages in anywhere near the amount of fraud and dishonesty that serially oozes from Our Media Overlords.

Forget bias for a moment. 

Forget mistakes and misstatements and stupid or nasty things said during live telecasts. 

There isn’t enough Internet to begin to list the countless instances of left-wing bias and politicking and idiocy the media engage in. 

What I’ve accumulated below is the scripted, planned and intentional.

Although I’m sure that more than a few examples have been overlooked (let me know which ones in the comments), this list is still a mind-blowing reminder of just how shamelessly corrupt the American media is. 

For these are the intentional lies, the intentional violations of ethics, the intentional manipulations, the intentional attempts to hurt the political right by employing the kind of tactics used by Third World propagandists.

And here is the most striking part:
All of these scandals involve an attempt by a media that advertises itself as non-partisan (MSNBC excepted) to aid and abet the Democrat Party, or undermine Republicans, or advance the media’s primary cause, which is to increase the size and scope of America’s central federal government.

As you read the list below, ask yourselves which American company or institution could survive a rap sheet even half as long as this one — decades of lies, cover ups, dictator-coddling, outright fraud, theft, and the fabrication of evidence.

The Watchman don’t need to be watched.
The Watchman are a disease that need to be cut completely out of our society.

1. NBC News: ‘Dateline’ Stages General Motors Explosion – 1992

In an episode of “Dateline NBC,” NBC News rigged a pick-up truck so it would explode on impact with another vehicle.

Viewers were not told the explosion was rigged and therefore fraudulently led to believe GM trucks were unsafe.

“Dateline” is still on the air.

2. Newsweek: Clinton’s Lewinsky Scandal Buried — January 1998

To protect then-President Clinton, Newsweek sat on and buried the story of the decade: A sitting and married president was having a sexual affair with a 22 year old White House intern.

Internet upstart Matt Drudge ended up breaking the story wide open. Clinton was eventually impeached for committing perjury. He also has his Arkansas law license suspended.

3. New Republic: Stephen Glass Blisters Republicans with Lies – May 1998

For nearly three years at the left-wing New Republic, Stephen Glass fabricated numerous stories, many of which mocked and belittled Republicans.

4. CNN: In Exchange for Access, Saddam Hussein’s Human Rights Atrocities Covered Up – April 2003

In an April of 2003 New York Times op-ed, CNN’s chief news executive, Eason Jordan, admitted that, in exchange for keeping its Baghdad Bureau open, CNN  regularly lied to its viewers, and did so for a full decade.
Read 'em all.

Stupefying Generations of Americans

Stupefying Generations of Americans | Heartlander Magazine
I used the verb “stupefying” to describe a long process in our nation’s schools that has produced several generations of Americans, dumbed down and resulting in more than half who are functionally illiterate, nor can do math, and, as a recent headline reported “Student’s Results in Social Studies Stagnate.”

“U.S. middle-school students’ performance on social studies didn’t improve much between 2010 and 2014, federal test scores released Wednesday (April 29) show, underscoring concerns about the uniformed citizenry and workforce.” 
When it comes to U.S. history, the share of students scoring at or above proficiency last year was 18%, up one percentage point from 2010.
In other words, over 80% failed to have a grasp on the subject, critical to every citizen’s understanding of U.S. history, its Constitution, and governance...
Read it all and realize we've destroyed our nation's education system.

Hillary Clinton Supporters Actually Don't Support Hillary

Obama To Provide $163 Million For More Community Organizers To Deal With Police

Obama To Provide $163 Million For More Community Organizers To Deal With Police – BB4SP:
"Yesterday in Camden, President Obama revealed his plan for ‘improving’ relations between the police and the community in urban areas. 
We mentioned yesterday that he was going to be banning certain ‘military-style’ equipment from being provided federally to local police.
He also would be restricting certain items, such as riot gear from receiving federal funding unless it certain criteria were met, including getting approval from local mayor and city council and proving a legitimate reason for having them.
But worst of all in his scheme is that the Justice Department would be providing $163 million “in hiring grants for positions focused on building community trust”.
"Gee, I wonder who would apply and qualify for these DOJ grants?
We reported on the fact that protesters in #Ferguson were being paid to protest there and elsewhere, with money from organizations that had received resources from George Soros.
Sounds like now they may have an even greater assist now, from President Obama and the DOJ…."

"There comes to a time in the history of nations when fear and complacency allow power to accumulate and liberty and privacy to suffer. That time is now,” Paul said Wednesday. “And I will not let the Patriot Act, the most un-patriotic of acts, go unchallenged.”

He later quoted the Fourth Amendment and argued that the text clearly indicates that warrantless surveillance of Americans under the Patriot Act is unconstitutional. He said that the federal government has essentially asserted that all Americans are under “suspicion” by indiscriminately storing their data."

Double "Doh!"-----Local McDonald's franchise shutters downtown Muskegon location

Local McDonald's franchise shutters downtown Muskegon location | MLive.com:
"Arthur Scott, owner and operator of JAAR, cited several reasons for the closure.
He cited the demise of the region's Summer Celebration festival and Muskegon Bike Time organizers' recent decision to end its signature "Steel Horse Alley" activity nearby and move the event to Great Lakes Downs in Fruitport Charter Township.
Scott said the traffic dynamics in downtown had also changed, with patterns going "around the city versus coming through the city." "It doesn't generate a whole lot of customers down there," he said.
Scott said JAAR saw the opening of the new Muskegon Farmers Market as a "huge opportunity," but was later disappointed upon learning the bazaar featured hot food options.
Whistle Punk Pizza, which recently opened a standalone eatery on Third Street, is among the food vendors and is known to serve a popular breakfast pizza."

Clickbaiting Misinformation: Your Wifi Will Kill You - NOT

Clickbaiting Misinformation: Your Wifi Will Kill You - NOT - Hit & Run : Reason.com:
The New York CBS affiliate is running a story about a woman who hooked up wifi in her apartment and began to have headaches, body flushing, and "brain fog." The story is unfortunately at the top of the Drudge Reporttoday.

The first questions might be why did she wait until 2015 to set up wifi and why has she never apparently experienced symptoms while sipping lattes at Starbucks? 
But never mind. 
In any case, the CBS report goes on to cite electromagnetic hypersensivity "researcher" David Carpenter. From CBS:

Dr. David Carpenter, an Environmental Scientist and expert on wi-fi’s effects said the scientific link between wi-fi and health is clearly emerging.

“There is a body of evidence that is strong. it’s not 100 percent understood, but it’s strong evidence that this is a real syndrome that causes real harm to real people,” he said.

Dr. Carpenter said it’s a significant problem for about 5 percent of the population, many of them have no idea that wi-fi is to blame.

“They walk around feeling ill and they don’t know what to do about it,” he said.

Other doctors counter that the evidence connecting wi-fi to illness just isn’t there.

“It’s a psychological phenomenon,” neuropsychologist Dr. William Barr said.

Dr. Barr said some people may have symptoms, but what causes them is something else altogether. He said the power of suggestion may play a role.

Power of suggestion? 
Well, yes. 
For example, this 2013 study in the Journal of Psychosomatic Research reports the amusing results of an experiment in which 150 subjects listened to a TV story about the adverse health effects of wifi. 
The researchers then "exposed" the subjects to a sham wifi signal for 15 minutes.  
More than half the subjects then reported symptoms that they attributed to the sham exposure. 
The higher participants scored on a psychological anxiety scale, the more likely they were to report symptoms....

“And the president, standing in front of the UN and lecturing the United States of America about a video,” Beck added in an agonized tone. “It had nothing to do with the video! They were running guns.”
Beck said Hillary Clinton learned from her husband to deny wrongdoing until the people no longer care, but she added an element of indignation to it.
“The fact is we had four dead Americans!” Clinton said at a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing. “Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night who decided they’d go kill some Americans?”

“Or is it because you were running guns to Syrians against the law?” Beck demanded."

Oregon to Test Pay-per-Mile Idea as Replacement for Gas Tax

Oregon to Test Pay-per-Mile Idea as Replacement for Gas Tax - Breitbart
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Oregon is about to embark on a first-in-the-nation program that aims to charge car owners not for the fuel they use, but for the miles they drive.

The program is meant to help the state raise more revenue to pay for road and bridge projects at a time when money generated from gasoline taxes are declining across the country, in part, because of greater fuel efficiency and the increasing popularity of fuel-efficient, hybrid and electric cars.

Starting July 1, up to 5,000 volunteers in Oregon can sign up to drive with devices that collect data on how much they have driven and where. The volunteers will agree to pay 1.5 cents for each mile traveled on public roads within Oregon, instead of the tax now added when filling up at the pump.

Some electric and hybrid car owners, however, say the new tax would be unfair to them and would discourage purchasing of green vehicles.

“This program targets hybrid and electric vehicles, so it’s discriminatory,” said Patrick Connor, a Beaverton resident who has been driving an electric car since 2007...

Two Kinds of Bribes

Two Kinds of Bribes | The American Spectator
Francis Bacon, the essayist, great philosopher, and Lord Chancellor of England under King James I, when impeached by the House of Commons for taking bribes as a judge, confessed to his crimes but offered this mitigating explanation: “Yes, I took bribes, but I didn’t let them influence my decision.” 

...At this point we need to make a distinction between two kinds of bribes, which may be called (for want of better names) particular bribes and general bribes. 
A particular bribe is the kind described in the immediately preceding paragraph, that is, a particular payment to a government official for a particular favor. 
A general bribe is a gift to a governmental official that lacks the criminal element of specificity. 
You make the gift as an inducement to the official to give you some not-yet-specified favor in the future, or as an appreciation for some not-to-be-mentioned favor the official gave you in the past. 

Hillary and Bill have received tens of millions of dollars of general bribes disguised as “speaking fees.” 
In the history of disguises, a long history (it goes back at least to the time Satan disguised himself as a snake in the Garden of Eden), rarely has a disguise been less likely to deceive anyone. 
You might almost say that these speaking fees were so transparent that they were bribes disguised as bribes.

If Hillary and Bill got paid for their speeches on the basis of merit, those speeches must have been far and away the greatest ever given in the history of speeches.
For they had a far great dollar value than the Funeral Oration of Pericles or Cicero’s anti-Cataline speeches.
The typical Clinton speech, to judge by its dollar value, throws Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address and his Second Inaugural into the shade.

Of course the Clinton bribes are general bribes, not particular bribes. 
They are inducements to Hillary, in the event she becomes president, to serve the not-yet-specified interests of the bribe-givers. 
And since general bribes are not criminal offenses, Hillary and Bill can say there is nothing wrong with taking these bribes — on the theory that anything that is not criminal is morally okay.

Hillary’s defenders can point out that the entire American system of campaign contributions is — at least when the contributions are really big contributions — a system of general bribery.
And so if Hillary is guilty of taking general bribes, so is every other major politician in both political parties.
True enough.
But this argument doesn’t show that Hillary is not corrupt.
It shows that everybody is corrupt.

But the Clinton corruption is far worse than average. 
For one thing, the Clintons get bribed on a bigger scale than everybody else. 
More important, the typical general bribe of an American politician goes into his/her campaign fund. 
The Clinton “speaking fee” bribes go directly into the Clinton personal pockets. 

They make the Clintons part of the “one percent” that Hillary will be campaigning against. It’s as if Henry VIII were to campaign against divorce and over-eating.

"Bloomberg Politics recently gathered a group of Iowa Democrats to discuss former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s viability as a presidential candidate. The group seemed pretty unanimous that Clinton is Democrats’ best chance to keep the White House in 2016.

However, the tone of the discussion immediately changed when host Mark Halperin asked them to name one thing Clinton accomplished while she was secretary of state."

More Countries Caught Manipulating Their Climate Data

More Countries Caught Manipulating Their Climate Data | The Daily Caller:
"Weather agencies in Australia, Paraguay and Switzerland may be manipulating temperature data to create a sharper warming trend than is present in the raw data — a practice that has come under scrutiny in recent months.
Most recently, Dr. H. Sterling Burnett with the Heartland Institute detailed how the Swiss Meteorological Service adjusted its climate data “to show greater warming than actually measured by its temperature instruments.”
...But even with the data tampering, Sterling noted that “there has been an 18-year-pause in rising temperatures, even with data- tampering.”
“Even with fudged data, governments have been unable to hide the fact winters in Switzerland and in Central Europe have become colder over the past 20 years, defying predictions of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and other climate alarmists,” according to Sterling.
The Swiss affair, however, is not the first instance of data “homogenization” catalogued by scientists and researchers who are skeptical of man-made global warming.
In January, skeptic blogger Paul Homewood documented how NASA has “homogenized” temperature data across Paraguay to create a warming trend that doesn’t exist in the raw data.
...Before that, the Australian Bureau of Meteorology (ABM) was forced to admit it adjusts temperatures recorded at all weather stations across the country. Aussie journalists had been critical of ABM for being secretive about its data adjustments.
“Almost all the alterations resulted in higher temperatures being reported for the present and lower numbers for the past–with the higher numbers being used to demonstrate a historical warming trend–than the numbers that were actually recorded,” wrote Sterling.
“Downward homogenizations in recent years were rare...
