really they are inferring that cbs nbc and abc are not going to put on air the jan 6 hearings. to even be on the fence about it.

if they do not that is a absolute to a right wing owned media.

Like many, if not most, Americans, you probably remember watching in horror as insurrectionists attempted a violent coup on January 6, 2021 that left 5 people dead, and hundreds more injured.

We remember the nooses and guillotines erected on the lawn, paramilitary teams with zip ties entering the Capitol building, Trump supporters rifling through Nancy Pelosi's office and House chambers, and how close violent extremists were to Mike Pence and members of Congress.

We remember it because broadcast news rightfully covered the violent, racist mob for hours. These networks knew that the public had a right to witness the day’s horrific events with our own eyes.

Every one of us has a right to be informed about what happened on January 6th, 2021 – and to participate in any calls for accountability. The House Select Committee that has spent nearly a year investigating the attack will expose every facet of the assault against our democracy and Constitution. We need broadcast news networks to once again prioritize the public interest.

Sign the petition: ABC, CBS, NBC, and other broadcast networks must televise the January 6th House Select Committee Hearings.

ADD YOUR NAME

The Capitol siege was not simply a one-off event. The far-right extremists who still have not backed down from their belief that the election was stolen intend to keep attempting to overturn our democratic system until they succeed. MAGA spin doctors have used their echo chambers to rewrite history and soften the public images of traitors to our nation.

The 2022 midterms are barreling forward. Every single state has to contend with Big Lie candidates, and determine whether we'll allow more traitors and extremists to hold public office. A strong democracy needs an informed public. And especially today – when our political climate is marked by disinformation and distractions – the only way to cut through the noise is with the absolute, unvarnished truth.

Sign the petition: ABC, CBS, NBC, and other broadcast networks must televise the January 6th House Select Committee Hearings.

ADD YOUR NAME

Keep fighting,
Monique Teal, Daily Kos

wow oh wow, can you imagine the front pages of the media if a dem with an accounting degree could not do high school math... this truly is right wing math... I know the right wingers will not understand what is wrong with this math.

Nikki Haley's attempt to attack Biden backfires spectacularly and people "can't get over the stupidity"


Quote:
Former Gov. Nikki Haley graduated with an accounting degree from Clemson University, but she may want to take a few refresher courses if she ever hopes to balance any books.

The Republican politician was attempting to slam President Biden over inflation, an issue facing economies around the world. It didn’t go so well.

Haley posted a list of grocery items commonly found at 4th of July barbecues, like watermelon, hotdogs, bread, soda, condiments and ice cream.

Related: Nikki Haley roasted after talking about potential 2024 run for president

Titled “Joe Biden‘s Inconvenience Store” and posted with the hashtag #Bidenflation, the list featured the percentages each item has gone up in price due to inflation. Then those percentages were added up, claiming American families are paying 67% more for the groceries.

Except… that’s not how math works.

For example, if you found a cute pair of sunglasses for 20% off and a hat for 15% off, you did not, in fact, save 35% off the total price.

Haley has since deleted the tweet (definitely the right move), but not before screenshots started making the rounds on social media.

Here’s what folks are saying:

new ultra right wing management tanking CNN on purpose

https://www.msn.com/en-us/tv/news/cnn-employees-are-reportedly-freaking-out-over-bad-ratings/ar-AAZhVmy?ocid=winp2sv1plus&cvid=60c4e5923352477cbbc84f2ce78f0683


CNN Employees Are Reportedly ‘Freaking Out’ Over Bad Ratings


Quote:
A CNN insider complained employees are “freaking out” by tanking ratings as the network seeks to attract Republican viewers amid a change in leadership.

New CNN president Chris Licht has attempted to pivot the network away from the partisan programming direction encouraged by former network head Jeff Zucker.

Licht has reportedly vowed to oust network talent who are unable or unwilling to adhere to the direction he wants to take CNN.

CNN’s new boss was praised by Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav Tuesday. Zaslav told Variety the network is reinventing itself to be a place for all. He said,

I think Chris is doing a great job pivoting CNN… Journalism first. America needs a news network where everybody can come and be heard; Republicans, Democrats. I think you’re seeing more of that at CNN. I think it’s the greatest news brand in the world with the greatest journalists. And we’re going to lean into that. We’re not going to look at the ratings and, in the long run, it’s going to be worth more.

Ratings for the network hit a low not seen since the year 2000 two weeks ago.

In response to Zaslav’s comments, a person described as a “well-placed source” told the New York Post staffers are concerned.

“The problem is we are not a neutral country,” the person said. “The ratings are getting worse because they are taking out all the bells and whistles. CNN’s ratings are as bad as local news ratings.”

“New management is not freaking out but everyone else at CNN is,” the source also said. “They want to fix the shows first, but they don’t realize the shows and ratings are connected.”

Ex-Twitter employee to Jan. 6 panel: Twitter relished being Trump's favorite social media platform


Quote:
Twitter may be perceived as an enemy by conservatives who fault the social media platform for banning former President Donald Trump after the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, but a former Twitter employee testified Tuesday that the company in fact enjoyed being Trump’s preferred medium of communicating with his followers.

In previously recorded testimony played during the seventh hearing of the House committee investigating Jan. 6, the former Twitter staffer said the company “relished in the knowledge that they were also the favorite and most used service of the former President and enjoyed having that sort of power within the social media ecosystem.”

“If Donald Trump were any other Twitter user, he would have been suspended a very long time ago,” the anonymous employee added.

That comment came within the context of a hearing in which Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., detailed how Trump used Twitter to summon an army of potentially violent followers to storm the seat of the American government.

right wing media does not put the facts out, they love their lemmings to be ignorant. If the media was liberal it would be all over, the facts.

Good morning. The debate over inflation often treats it as a uniquely American problem. It’s not.


Quote:
Worldwide problems
Inflation has dominated the news about America’s economy in recent months as prices for food, gas and other goods have increased faster than they have in four decades.

But inflation is a global phenomenon right now — and the U.S. has actually fared better than other countries in recent months. In June, consumer prices in the U.S. increased 9.1 percent over the previous year; they increased 9.6 percent across the E.U. in the same time period.

GOP Sen. Hawley running from 'his' Jan. 6 mob is about far more than his humiliation


Quote:
New video evidence from the January 6th Committee revealed Republican Senator Josh Hawley running from rioters after his fist salute outside the Capitol. MSNBC’s Ari Melber reports on the backlash to Hawley’s Jan. 6 actions, and lessons from the Pharcyde song “Running” (“can’t keep running away… can’t keep running away”). Daily Show co-creator Lizz Winstead joins on the scandal.

Fox News Stops Covering Hillary Spying on Trump Story After Spending All Week Attacking Media For Ignoring It

Quote:
Anyone watching Fox News this week was told that Hillary Clinton’s campaign had been caught spying on former President Donald Trump. This was reported across many Fox News programs as fact, with some hosts adding exotic frills to the story. More reputable news outlets were quick to pour cold water on the assertion. Some even called out Fox News for being either stupid or willfully misinforming their viewers.

The evidence for Fox News’s breathless and repeated “worse than Watergate” claim was a late Friday filing from Special Counsel John Durham that focused on one-time Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussman.

A good example of Fox’s sensationalized coverage were these comments from Jesse Watters, made on Monday:

Durham’s documents show that Hillary Clinton hired people who hacked into Trump’s home and office computers before and during his presidency, and planted evidence that he colluded with Russia.

Yeah. You heard that right. Hillary broke into a presidential candidate’s computer server and a sitting president’s computer server, spying on them. There, her hackers planted evidence, fabricated evidence connecting Trump to Russia, then fed that doctored material to the feds and the media.

Durham’s filing did not show this – at all. What’s more, as New York Times reporter Charlie Savage pointed out, the right-wing media narrative surrounding the filing was “mostly wrong or old news.” Indeed, the Times had reported on it last year.

This didn’t keep Fox News from continuing to insist a scandal was afoot. The network even had the temerity to call out the rest of the media for ignoring this alleged bombshell: Fox News media report Howard Kurtz called out his competitors for not covering the story, though it was never made clear what exactly the story was. Oops.

But late Thursday, the story took another turn, as Durham responded to Sussman’s filing to dismiss the case, and added some clarity to the misreporting.

Savage wrote about the new filing, saying Durham “distanced himself on Thursday from false reports by right-wing news outlets that a motion he recently filed said Hillary Clinton’s campaign had paid to spy on Trump White House servers.”

The key statement from Durham’s most recent filing reads:

If third parties or members of the media have overstated, understated or otherwise misinterpreted facts contained in the government’s motion, that does not in any way undermine the valid reasons for the government’s inclusion of this information.

That statement was read in full by Bret Baier on Special Report Thursday night in advance of a remarkably muted panel discussion. Since then, the Fox News insistence that Clinton had been caught spying on Trump has nearly completely abated. That’s a rather stunning turn from the obsessive, nearly wall-to-wall coverage this non-story received over the past week.

In the past six days, John Durham was mentioned 219 times on Fox News, according to TVEyes. But as of 11 a.m. today. his name was mentioned only once by Steve Doocy on Fox & Friends, and it was in the context of Hillary Clinton being asked a question by a reporter.

So what happened? Mediaite reached out to Fox News to ask if the network no longer felt the bombshell that Hillary Clinton spied on Trump was newsworthy, or if they no longer believe that it’s true. Fox News has not replied.

In a column published earlier this week, I asked how real journalists could compete with a network such as Fox News that was so comfortable reporting falsehoods. The fact that the network has apparently ceased covering a story that they got so unbelievably wrong, without any public statement acknowledging it, just proves the point I made in that column.

What an incredibly embarrassing moment for Fox News.

This is an opinion piece. The views expressed in this article are those of just the author.

gee why hasn't the media mentioned this. this was a posted question by a righty winger and a reply by a tech person...

Why have the mainstream media sat on the Biden laptop story even *after* admitting they know it's real? This is worse than Watergate by orders of magnitude?
Quote:
Lets try a couple facts.

It was illegal for the technician to examine the hard drive. The laptop was password protected (all computers are password protected) and it is ILLEGAL to purposely defeat the security on someone’s computer. A mechanic’s lien does not give the mechanic the right to examine a password protected hard drive.

so anything the tech found on the hard drive is unusable by law enforcement since the information was gained illegally.


The FBI also can not defeat the security on a computer WITHOUT A COURT ORDER. Can anyone point to the court order giving the FBI the right to inspect the computer? (Everyone has seen the court order allowing the FBI to search Trump’s home, where is the court order for searching Hunter’s laptop?)
No search warrant? Then nothing the FBI might have found on the hard drive is admissible in court.
Furthermore, the FBI knows the drives security was breached (or at least, the tech says he breached the drive’s security) so there is no longer any proof that things are the hard drive were put there by Hunter.
