Low-Octane Gaslighting – CNN
Isn't this made worse based on how highly esteemed she is said to be?
We recently covered the deeply disturbing report by CNN insinuating that Israel Defense Forces (IDF) left behind hundreds of bodies buried in a mass grave at the Nassir Medical Complex. This, despite it not only being known to be inaccurate and, in the same report, one of CNN's people at the scene confirmed the bodies had been buried by Gaza residents ahead of the IDF arriving a month later.
Even as all of this was previously known, Christiane Amanpour arrives to further give the false story that these bodies were "discovered" at the scene – regardless that her own network had already detailed the false nature of this claim.
“We just want to give him a dignified burial”.

Anti-Social Media – MSNBC
At some point Chris, not posting something would be a net gain for you.
Suffice it to say that Chris Hayes is REALLY bothered by the authorities busting up the illegal and antisemitic protests on college campuses. He made what could be called an inartful comment about police coming onto campuses and replicating the infamous fiasco at Kent State a couple of generations ago. After deleting that post, he stated he had been "angrily glib" and posted in error. His follow-up attempts were hardly any better.
While needing to ignore the ugly statements and outright hate coming from these protests, Chris tipped his hand about his desire to have these protests become successful.

His obliviousness patently on display, Hayes does not appear to realize that he supports the issues to be resolved which involves kicking Jews off campus, eliminating Israel, and having a global intifada take place. This is according to the voices from the supposedly "peaceful" protests.
First Amendment Strike Force – COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY
Is this when we get the lecture about the threat to our democracy…or nah?!
Here is a detail that has been playing out on a number of campuses in these protests: In a scene straight out of the disastrous protests seen at Missouri State a few years ago, the press is being barred from entering the illegal encampments staked out on the college grounds.
This seems counterintuitive, as one would expect protesters to want their message to be heard. But making this more obtuse is that Columbia Journalism School is regarded as one of the most respected, and yet here it is preventing freedom of the press on its own campus.
Right now at Columbia: faculty members formed a chain to keep journalists out of the encampment. pic.twitter.com/2mJPisuVst

News Avoidance Syndrome – VARIOUS OUTLETS
The manipulation of the Official White House Record continues with no pushback.
The Biden administration continues to twist and alter the official transcript as it becomes more needed to mask and shield President Joe's fumbling and embarrassing himself verbally, and the press continues to be just fine with this lie.
In the latest, the president lost another wrestling match with the teleprompter when he read off the coaching suggestions on the screen. When he read what was meant to be an applause line he instead said aloud "(PAUSE)."
When the transcript from the White House was released, it altered this to now read "Inaudible," even though it was clearly heard what he had done.

Pulitzer Prize Nomination-Political Cartoons – NEW YORK MAGAZINE
Did she turn in her scratch pad trying to get her pens to work...?
For the Trump trial this week, New York Mag has one of the few courtroom sketch artists on site, and it is a rather disturbing tableau being displayed. Not to say the court proceedings are that ghastly.
Despite that, Olivia Nuzzi declares the works of artist Isabelle Brourman to be "amazing." Frankly, if these images were turned in at a school, the mental health counselor might be called in to address some concerns.
