Morning Greatness: Almost Every American Blames the Media for Political Strife - American Greatness

"Everyone blames the media for political strife

A new Gallup poll finds that 84% of Americans say the media is biased.

The study from Gallup and the Knight Foundation shows that a whopping 86 percent of Americans believe media outlets lean one way or another politically, with 49 percent saying there’s “a great deal” of bias while 37 percent say “a fair amount.”

A majority of Americans, 56 percent, say their go-to news source has some form of “bias,” with 20 percent acknowledging a “great deal” of bias at their preferred outlet while 36 percent saying “a fair amount” of bias is present.

...But here’s the kicker: 84% say “the media is to blame for political division in this country.” 

And four out of five respondents said the media is “trying to persuade people to adopt a certain viewpoint.” 

There’s a word for that: propaganda!

Is this accidental?...Read all.

Democratic Party sets rules for criticizing Joe Biden's VP pick Kamala Harris - Washington Times

Democratic Party sets rules for criticizing Joe Biden's VP pick Kamala Harris - Washington Times

• Hillary Clinton and Valerie Jarrett operatives sign a missive that warns what media message must be

"Media organizations have just been warned by the Democratic Party machine that they better be very, very careful with how they cover Joe Biden’s vice presidential choice — just revealed to be Kamala Harris.
Any criticism of the expected woman will be considered racist and sexist, we are told.

...An actual memo went out from an ad hoc group of Democratic operatives (pretending to be advocates for women) to media organizations with orders on how to proceed with their coverage. 

...The implication of the memo was any critical coverage deemed unfair (and all would be deemed so) will be declared racist and/or sexist...Read all.

"What's happening today is partly a consequence of our failure to take stuff like this seriously. 

People in the libertarian world spent decades navel gazing and writing papers nobody read instead of learning how to craft persuasive arguments and communicate with people in engaging ways through modern media.
And it's not just an issue of having the tools to *respond* to videos like this.
We should not have had to be reactionary. 

Instead we should have been creating the content socialists felt the need to respond to."

'It's over': New EVIDENCE supports allegations of Ilhan Omar's 'extensive spree' of felonies - TheBlaze:

"It's over," Steinberg told Glenn. "There's really nothing left. It's all ... the publicly available documentation that anyone would need to be convinced that, for eight years, [Omar] married her brother to commit immigration fraud. And this marriage fraud also was in the service of education fraud/student loan fraud. And along the line, we have evidence, that she filed at least two years of fraudulent tax returns, possibly eight [years]. We have evidence that she perjured herself eight times during her 2017 divorce from this man. And along the way, of course, we know she was living in public housing. We also know she was likely receiving subsidized child care.

Brainwashing our students...with our tax dollars!---US colleges are telling students to read this book, so we found out why

US colleges are telling students to read this book, so we found out why

• Many college students are being required to read "How To Be an Antiracist" as classes resume.
• The author looks to provide readers with a clear understanding of racist and antiracist definitions.
• In doing so, he defends affirmative action, upholds feminism, and slams capitalism.

"...“We know how to be racist. We know how to pretend to be not racist. Now let’s know how to be antiracist,” Kendi, whose book skyrocketed to the top of virtually every bestselling book chart in the wake of recent race protests and riots, writes in the 2019 nonfiction piece.
Each chapter of the book is dedicated to defining a specific type of racism, offering “lucid definitions of racism/antiracism, racist/antiracist policies, racist/antiracist ideas, racist/antiracist people.”
Accordingly, Kendi begins by stating that “the only remedy to racist discrimination is antiracist discrimination.
The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination. 
The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination.”...Read all.

Don't Know Much About History | Chronicles
"...The left, I said, has made sure that a sense of pervasive oppression is all most young Americans know about the past. 
The young would not necessarily view history the way we do, but in knowing it better, they would realize that present arrangements were not inevitable or even necessarily desirable. 
Above all they should know that history is political. 
George Orwell was right: “Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.”
In recent decades the left has used its growing cultural power to paint the darkest possible picture of the history of our country and our civilization. 
This became apparent as the protests, triggered by the horrific, filmed death of George Floyd, devolved first into riots and then into an incipient Maoist-style cultural revolution. 
In place after place, rioters targeted statues, monuments, and other commemorations of American and Western history. Statues of Christopher Columbus were toppled or vandalized in several cities, as were statues of Confederate leaders.
Most politicians were all too eager to see such statues go...Read all.

The UWS is falling apart, and lefties seem too woke to care
"On a return visit this weekend to the Upper West Side neighborhood where I’ve lived for more than a quarter of a century, the fear in the air was palpable.
The population seemed to be reduced by about half.
New Yorkers steered around each other on the sidewalks, some of them walking in the street to avoid passing near a stranger.
A lady declined to ride the elevator with me and my children.
People are especially terrified of the subway, whose ridership is down 80 percent from normal levels.
Friday night, at a time when there would ordinarily be 50 or more people riding on any given car of the 1 train, there were about seven.
Downtown was morose, grim, broken.
Graffiti (the anarchists’ symbol and “ACAB,” for “All Cops Are Bastards”) was much in evidence.
Mask compliance is almost universal on the Upper West Side: easily 90 percent...Read all.
