They ALL lie!-----IS THE NEW YORK TIMES A LIBERAL NEWSPAPER? OF COURSE IT IS:
[Lauren Wolfe] argues that there is no way to be totally neutral as a reporter.
‘As journalists, we can all use what appears to be a ‘neutral voice,’ but that doesn’t mean our implicit bias isn’t guiding our choice of sources, or even what stories we decide to cover,’ she explains.
‘Pretending that we’re all able to be constantly and utterly objective just feels absurd to me. Instead, I’ve always believed it is better to be open about my views on the issues I cover, which for a long time have been war and international human rights. And yes,
I often do write with an agenda—with an eye toward creating change,’ Wolfe added.
That’s fine — as long as you, and/or your publisher disclose your biases. Fortunately, the gray lady did just that in 2004.--Posted by

How the Democrats fell for Mussolini - UnHerd

Why progressive women want to date men who act conservative
"My friend Mark, 36, is a “catch” by many New York City standards.
- He’s good-looking, highly educated, and a talented photographer.
- He’s also progressive and participates in protests and gives to left-leaning causes. And Mark is looking for love. He wants to get married and have kids.
- In a liberal city like New York, swimming with single women wishing they weren’t, one could assume Mark wouldn’t have a problem finding a mate. And while he dates and recently had a couple of short-lived relationships, Mark remains single. He’s trying to understand why.
- “I’m really open-minded and cool about gender stuff on dates, but I always feel like I’m walking on eggshells,” Mark told me. “If I pay for dinner, it signals I don’t value my date as my equal so I’m super casual about it all. If she wants to pay or split it or whatever, that’s fine with me.”

YES!!-----A brilliant Twitter thread perfectly explains what drives today’s conservatives
"Darryl Cooper, aka MartyrMade, is a researcher, writer, and podcaster who has put together one of the most brilliant Twitter threads you will ever read. Over the course of 35 tweets, he examines fact after fact from the last five years to explain why conservatives – the people who used to believe in our government, in law enforcement, in the election process – have become cynical, disillusioned, and prone to accepting conspiracy theories to explain the manifest breakdowns in the American system.
It’s a brilliant analysis, one so good that Tucker Carlson read almost the entire thread on his show.
Since I find it hard to read long Twitter threads, I’ve put the entire text, verbatim, into prose form. You can read the thread here, in the original tweets. Frankly, I’m a little surprised the thread is still up because its scathing truths should frighten outlets like Twitter...Read all!!!
The real story about that Gaza death toll - by Melanie Phillips - Melanie Phillips
The media's malign fictions feed murderous hysteria against Israel
In the recent hostilities between Israel and its attackers in Gaza, a prime Israel-bashing meme was — as ever — the falsehood that the Israeli forces were killing a huge number of Gaza’s civilians.
- In vain did defenders of Israel point out that Hamas deliberately sited its missiles and other weaponry in and among apartment buildings, schools and hospitals in order to maximise civilian casualties of Israeli air strikes and thus defame Israel as a wanton aggressor.
- In vain was it pointed out that Israel goes to lengths deemed unthinkable by any other armed forces in the world to avoid the loss of enemy civilian life, including issuing residents of targeted buildings with evacuation warnings by text, phone calls or “knock on the roof” harmless missile strikes to tell anyone in there to get out.
- None of these facts stopped the relentless flow of claims that the majority of those killed by Israeli missile attacks in May’s Operation Guardian of the Walls were defenceless civilians.
- Now, however, the evidence from the updated casualty figures in that operation reveals that, relative to Israel’s massive bombardment of Gaza with some 1500 strikes, the proportion of civilian deaths was astonishingly small...Read all.

NSA's spying on Tucker Carlson is an attack on all Americans - Washington Times
Tucker Carlson and you and I can say whatever we want about the government and it cannot legally or constitutionally chill or prevent that. If it could, then our rights are just empty claims.Why have we reposed the Constitution for safekeeping into the hands of those who subvert it?
