How Dumb Are Reporters? [Updated] | Power Line
How Dumb Are Reporters? [Updated] | Power Line
Years ago, I had a lot of fun with the New York Times Corrections section, which documented the fact, day after day, that the paper’s reporters and editors had little knowledge of mathematics, science, literature or history. The gaffes that appeared in the Times were stunning to anyone with a halfway-decent education.
I have been off that beat for a while, but our reporters’ educational deficiencies continue to amaze. Thus we have NBC’s Andrea Mitchell, who tried to one-up Ted Cruz. Bad decision. Cruz described the Democrats’ farcical impeachment proceeding as “like Shakespeare, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.” Mitchell sought to correct Cruz:

Hmmm. The Trump-hating media/the left/RINOs assure us that Trump's tweets actually hurt Trump. Soooo...why would they ban them?-----"SHUT UP,” THEY EXPLAINED:
Instapundit--"SHUT UP,” THEY EXPLAINED:
"Twitter confirms Trump’s ban is permanent, even if he runs again in 2024.
Trump tweeted his way to the White House once, and Jack Dorsey and the rest of the antisocial media mafia are for damned sure not going to let that happen again.--Posted by
With Work Stopped, 7 Things I Saw at Border Wall
With Work Stopped, 7 Things I Saw at Border Wall:
Construction of the wall along the U.S.-Mexico border has stopped under President Joe Biden’s order issued Jan. 20, the day of his inauguration.
The Daily Signal traveled to a portion of the southern border Jan. 28 and 29 with nine House Republicans, including Rep. Andy Biggs of Arizona, chairman of the House Freedom Caucus.
The congressional delegation visited stretches along the border wall in Nogales as well as in Cochise County, Arizona, where construction of the wall not only has ended but equipment sits unused.
Here are seven things I saw while representing The Daily Signal on the trip.

"Gina Carano will not be returning to The Mandalorian. Carano has been fired by Lucasfilm / Disney and the Star Wars universe following more inflammatory comments on social media...
"Gina Carano is not currently employed by Lucasfilm and there are no plans for her to be in the future," a Lucasfilm spokesperson said in a statement.
"Nevertheless, her social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities are abhorrent and unacceptable."
Today #FireGinaCarano was trending on Twitter after she posted a story on Instagram comparing conservatives or Republicans to victims of the Holocaust.

In the past few months Carano has also gotten attention for being anti-mask, spreading misinformation about the election, and posting about QAnon.
Previous comments made by Carano may have lost her a Mandalorian spin-off.

Killing the Republic - Trump As Tiberius Gracchus -
Killing the Republic - Trump As Tiberius Gracchus -
"Tiberius Gracchus was a Roman politician and official in the Second Century BC....a member of the populares, a faction that sided with the plebian – the common people – against the conservative aristocratic patricians who had traditionally held power in Rome.
...Gracchus was dead as were a great many of his followers.
So was the Roman Republic.
...The oligarchs who killed Gracchus did not call themselves murderers.
They claimed they were defending Rome against a demagogue and saving the Republic from the mob.
All they were really doing was preserving their own power.
It has been over 2100 years since Gracchus was assassinated in Rome.
Another assassination – this one of Donald Trump – is currently underway in Washington, D.C.
The men and women participating may not be carrying clubs.
They are every bit as ruthless.
Donald Trump did not incite a mob to storm Capitol Hill.
He did not lead an insurrection.
He did not advocate violence.
He did something infinitely worse.
He threatened the ruling class of this nation.
...As President...he was the first man since at least Ross Perot who actually spoke for them not the Uni-Party, Big Tech and the bureaucratic mandarins in Washington, D.C.
And that is exactly why Trump must “die.”
That is why defeating him at the polls was not enough.
What is at stake is the continued existence of the oligarchy that controls modern America...Read all.

Millions to be Jobless as Biden Packs Labor Force with Foreign Workers
Millions to be Jobless as Biden Packs Labor Force with Foreign Workers
Millions of Americans are projected to remain jobless for the next three to four years, according to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), though President Joe Biden is looking to fill American jobs with foreign workers...
The CBO analysis projects that while the unemployment rate, which hides the number of total Americans out of the workforce, will return to an average of about four percent between 2024 and 2025. Biden, himself, admitted on camera that the U.S. would not be at “full employment” until 2031.
“That’s not hyperbole. That’s a fact,” Biden said.
Before then, millions of Americans are projected to remain jobless though that has not kept the Biden administration from pursuing a labor policy that floods the United States labor market with millions of illegal aliens, foreign visa workers, and green card-holders...Read all.

Afterward, Kallman offered a parting shot at Whitmer.
"If a person protests certain issues, the governor will ignore her own orders and walk with you," he said, referring to Whitmer's participation in at least one BLM protest. "But if a person protests the governor, she will prosecute you and attempt to destroy your business."

Chaffetz Wonders if Democrats' 'Manipulated Video' Violated Rules:
Former Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) raised a pointed question about the deceptively edited video House impeachment managers played during the first day of the Senate impeachment trial, pointing to page 34 of House Rules, which focuses on “dissemination by electronic means, including by social media, of any image, video, or audio file that has been distorted or manipulated with the intent to mislead the public.”

The impeachment trial against former President Donald Trump is slated to begin on Feb. 9. Trump is being charged for "willfully inciting violence against the Government of the United States." Many media pundits and Democrats have claimed that Trump's 70-minute speech at the Ellipse outside the White House on Jan. 6 "incited" the storming of the U.S. Capitol building and the subsequent riot.
