"James Watson—with whom, I should say, I have some slight personal acquaintance—is the world-famous, Nobel-prize-sharing geneticist who in 1953 co-discovered the structure of DNA. 
He went on to run Cold Spring Harbor lab near where I live on Long Island. 
After forty years of that, the lab sidelined him in 2007 for remarks he made about Africa and about blacks in general:

All our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as ours whereas all the testing says not really…There's a natural desire that all human beings should be equal [but] people who have to deal with black employees find this not true.

Fury at DNA pioneer's theory: Africans are less intelligent than Westerners, By Cahal Milmo, Independent, October 17,  2007

In this new PBS documentary Watson doubled down:

There's a difference on the average between blacks and whites on IQ tests. I would say the difference is, it's genetic.

Enter the weasels. 
Leading the weasel pack was science reporter Amy Harmon at the New York Times.[ James Watson Won’t Stop Talking About Race, January 1, 2019] 
Ms. Harmon had no difficulty bringing forth properly credentialed weasels to support her accusations of thoughtcrime against Watson: NIH Director Francis Collins [Email him]joined in with quite a blatant lie, as I noted in my piece two weeks ago.

...The black-white IQ gap is one of the most stable and best-supported facts in the human sciences. 
Its causes aren't definitively known, but that they arise from the laws of population genetics is a perfectly plausible hypothesis.

That's what scientists do, bring forth plausible hypotheses for other scientists to test. 

Sometimes rigorous testing disproves the hypothesis, which is then discarded..."

Bruce Ohr: FBI, DOJ Knew Dossier was Dirty from the Beginning

Bruce Ohr: FBI, DOJ Knew Dossier was Dirty from the Beginning:

Virtually everyone at the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Justice Department involved in the FBI's counterintelligence probe of candidate Donald Trump knew from the beginning that the investigation, dubbed "Crossfire Hurricane," was based on shaky opposition research compiled by a Trump-hating former British spy and funded by Hillary Clinton’s campaign.

Remember that the Ministry of Truth in "1984" used the "telescreen" to disseminate "truth" to the citizens.-----Fans of Best of the Web Today

Fans of Best of the Web Today--Michael Smith

"Remember that the Ministry of Truth in "1984" used the "telescreen" to disseminate "truth" to the citizens. 

That's what were are being fed on the TV today, the edited, cropped, staged and scripted versions of the truth.
Two times in the past 72 hours, major media has feverishly reported stories that so perfectly fit the preferred narrative, they were just too good to check...and they were proven false shortly after they were injected in to the bloodstream of public consciousness.
They have forgotten what Ken Layne, an early Internet journalist, said in 2001:
"It’s 2001, and we can Fact Check your ass. 

And you, like many in the Hate America movement, are no longer able to dress your wretched ‘reporting’ in fiction. 

We have computers. 

It is not difficult to Find You Out, dig?"
The traditional media can't be trusted. 

Usually stuff like this is like an iceberg, only 10% of it is visible. Just imagine what else they broadcast that is "safety sealed for our protection".
Instapundit quotes Jim Treacher saying, 

"Modern journalism is all about deciding which facts the public shouldn't know because they might reflect badly on Democrats" and he is dead on target.
I know we have a lot of nutball fake sites on the internet but imagine what the institutional media could get away with if the Internet didn't exist.
Thanks, Al Gore!"

It's the hats!

The Immorality of the Open Borders PartyThe American Spectator

The Immorality of the Open Borders PartyThe American Spectator

• The Democrats prioritize fake rights over justice.

“A wall is an immorality between countries,” Nancy Pelosi said the other day.
The New York Times recently ran a piece entitled “There is Nothing Wrong with Open Borders.” Democrats across the country routinely call for the abolition of ICE and the spread of sanctuary cities.
Here and there Democrats may dissent from the platform of open borders, but it is clear that the ideological core of the party favors it.
Top officials at the DNC, such as Keith Ellison, walk around in T-shirts emblazoned with calls for open borders.
...If the Republicans are the America First party, the Democrats increasingly resemble the America Last party, fighting not to preserve a stable, secure, and orderly government for Americans but to sustain a fantasy against common sense that prioritizes the demands of foreigners.
Where is the morality in that?
It is simply injustice to one’s own citizens dressed up as “humanitarianism” — a policy as unjust as parents who, in determining the security of their home, give greater consideration to strangers than their own children..."

Nathan Phillips, the Native American man at the center of the controversy involving Covington Catholic High School students who were unfairly smeared by the media, is raising money with the help of a major big-money left-wing operation, and has a history of appearing in the press claiming to be a victim of anti-Native racism.
...The Native Youth Leadership Alliance (NYLA) is a non-profit organization that is funded by the same far-left power players who are often involved in bankrolling leftist causes. The organization’s funding partners include the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, and the Social Justice Fund Northwest."

New York Imam: Wife-Beating Is Permissible…But Only To Hurt Her Dignity (VIDEO) | Creeping Sharia

New York Imam: Wife-Beating Is Permissible…But Only To Hurt Her Dignity (VIDEO) | Creeping Sharia:

"...During a December 9, 2018 lecture in the Muslim Center of New York in Flushing, Queens, Sheikh Yaser Nadeem Al-Wajdi discussed wife-beating in Islam and said that it is only permissible under very rare circumstances, such as 

• when a woman is being disloyal, and her husband doesn’t want to seek separation 
• or Islamic legal action for the sake of the children.

In such situations, Sheikh Al-Wajdi said, the husband must first admonish his wife verbally, and then he must leave the conjugal bed. 

After these steps, he may strike her using a miswak (dental twig) in a fashion that is not hard and that is meant to hurt her dignity..."

"...Second Weasel Atrocity: Republican leaders in the House of Representatives just removed congressman Steve King from his posts on the House Judiciary Committee and the House Agricultural Committee. 

...In the Senate, at the same time, GOP Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told Rep. King to "find another line of work," while Mitt Romney told King he should resign his seat.
This all followed a single remark Steve King allegedly made in a January 10th interview with the New York Times:

White nationalist, white supremacist, Western civilization—how did that language become offensive?[Before Trump, Steve King Set the Agenda for the Wall and Anti-Immigrant Politics, By Trip Gabriel, NYT, January 10, 2019]

Steve King insists that the last six words ("how did that language become offensive?") applied only to the previous two, "Western civilization." 

The way the New York Times punctuated it, though, it looked as if they covered "white nationalist" and "white supremacist" as well.

Incredibly, and significantly, it appears that no recording exists..."

ROGER KIMBALL: Radical evil, and the online lynching of a kid from Kentucky. 
Will journalists apologize if their portrayal of the Covington students vs Indian Elder incident turns out to have been wildly wrong?
Total non-sequitur of a question. 
When is the DNC-MSM ever wrong?
UPDATE (FROM GLENN): When do they ever apologize? (Except to offended lefties, that is).
But some better people are apologizing:



Maybe the reason journalists assume that James O’Keefe’s videos are deceptively edited is that deceptive editing is the ordinary course of business for them.

ANOTHER UPDATE (FROM GLENN): More good people apologize:



This guy hasn’t apologized yet, though. People on the right need to be more skeptical of this kind of thing, rather than rushing to jump on the “we’re better than that” (by which they really mean “I’m better than that”) bandwagon. Lefties rely on that to give momentum to their hit pieces. Instead, hold back and wait for facts to develop. Often — possibly more often than not — the facts will show things to be different than they first appeared.

MORE (FROM GLENN):



Also, I see that NRO’s big dump on the Covington boys now returns a Page Not Found. Why doesn’t it return an apology for jumping the gun?

Or maybe it should just go to this Kyle Smith piece: Nathan Phillips Lied. The Media Bought It. Including NRO. But the media didn’t just buy it. They were co-conspirators.

Plus, from the comments: “Anyone who thinks these recent attacks on these Catholic boys and on the Knights of Columbus aren’t geared to the next Supreme Court opening is kidding themselves.” 
Stand up to bigotry: Support Amy Coney Barrett!

Also from the comments: “Amazing that this story occurred just 24 hrs after the BuzzFeed/Cohen fiasco with its obligatory non-stop MSM impeach-o-rama. Gellman amnesia at its finest. And when you see the Catholic hierarchy rush to throw these innocent kids to the wolves, you begin to understand the dimensions & persistence of the Church’s pedophile crisis. They are not the faithful & reliable stewards of our children they claim to be. CYA & justice.”

NRO needs a full, sincere apology here, and better behavior in the future. I mean, otherwise what do they bring to the table? CNN will already call people on the right bigots for free. NRO piled on the people they should have been protecting, out of a cowardly reflex to assume the worst and isolate the people the media were attacking. They should have looked into the story first, rather than relying on the word of people they should have known were untrustworthy. It was just two days ago that CNN was hyping the Buzzfeed “scoop.” Gateway Pundit is all over this story — and more creditably than NRO.

MORE STILL (FROM GLENN): An Apology From Rich Lowry of NRO: “I deleted my original tweet and we also took down a strongly worded post by my colleague Nick Frankovich that relied on the incomplete video. It’s another reminder — even for an old hand like me — that it’s best not to make snap judgments and to wait for all sides of a controversy to have a chance to be heard.”

You can’t trust what the likes of CNN and Buzzfeed say about people on the right. You absolutely need to do your own due diligence before piling on.

And for the record, here’s the archive version of the now-deleted NRO piece by Nicholas Frankovich The Covington Students Might as Well Have Just Spit on the Cross.

Newt Gingrich: FBI, media give Feinstein a pass for her spy scandal, but attack Trump with no justification | Fox News:

Consider the FBI’s multilayered attack on Trump compared to its dramatically different treatment of Feinstein after the bureau concluded that her driver and San Francisco office staffer of 20 years had been spying for the Chinese government.
The spying involving Feinstein wasn’t reported by any news media organizations for five years –which meant the FBI didn’t feel the need to leak it. Even when this security breach was reported, it was only mentioned in passing by Politico Magazine in a story published last July 27 about extensive Chinese-espionage in Silicon Valley.
