News Avoidance Syndrome – CTV NEWS
It becomes more aggravating to watch as the media complex continues to shy away from calling terrorism and the resulting anti-Semitism what it is. Now, in Canada, we see a continuation of the practice, as their press corps has been among those outlets refusing to call the Hamas attacks "terrorism" despite fulfilling that definition.
In this report about a Canadian peace activist who had been killed in the initial Hamas attack, CTV News was content to sell this story as Vivian Silver being one person in Israel who went "missing" and later "died." As the revised story states, she was actually murdered, and it took this long because those butchers rendered her so badly that her remains needed to be positively identified.

Demo-lition Project – JEZEBEL
- We would like to say, "We tried to warn you," but they are too busy trying to silence us.
It was a mild surprise last week when the announcement was made that the feminist website Jezebel would be shut down and its staff laid off. The owners, G/O Media, have been working all year to turn around the fortunes and to offer the site for sale. What has become revealed is that the main problem has been a drop in advertising, something made worse by the controversial content of the site.
This essentially means that the aggressive efforts over the years from the left to drive off advertisers from undesirable outlets – Townhall Media sites among those – has led to advertisers being leery about ALL sites with emotionally charged content:
Jezebel was told “brand safety,” the fact that advertisers don’t want to be next to the type of content Jezebel was publishing, was “one of the biggest factors” that led G/O to stop publishing the site
So, the very tactics used to target right-of-center outlets have metastasized and are now affecting left-wing sites as well.

DNC PR Firm – JOHN HARWOOD
- We don't even know where he is these days, but this was too rich…
A little over a year ago, John Harwood was shown the door at CNN for being too much of a Biden cheerleader. As his recent post here shows, he has not deviated from that pom-pom-shaking position.
If you ever want to see the definition of "delusion" on display, just pull up this entry from John.
Biden needs expert political guidance. voters are unhappy. Trump could win despite his flagrant criminality and deranged mental state

journalists need to better convey 2 realities:
--the US economy is doing well, not poorly
--Biden at 80 is handling the job effectively right now
Reporting on the Mirror – DAILY WIRE
- We figured this was coming – the popcorn has been prepared.
Over the past few weeks, it has been perplexing to watch Candace Owens take decidedly anti-Israel positions, and it seemed only a matter of time before the main voice of Daily Wire, Ben Shapiro, would step up and confront her positions. Well…it has happened, and, as expected, Ben did not hold back.
Well here’s a welcome surprise.@benshapiro speaks up, publicly calling out Candace Owens for her too cute by half anti-Semitism as “disgraceful.”

It has been seen that recently Owens has taken Daily Wire off of her Xitter bio.
Artisanally-Crafted Narratives – USA TODAY
- Maybe they should issue games for the conservative customers…if any remain.
It is with some amusement that people are beginning to notice that at USA Today, there is a new arena where leftist activism is springing up with regularity. Readers and users of social media have begun sharing examples they are spotting of hyper-woke entries cropping up in the crossword puzzles and other games offered up by the Gannett newspaper.
One person listed out a few curious entries on its crossword puzzle recently.

Our favorite so far has been the clue Using plus-size models without offering plus-sized clothing, with the answer being "CURVE WASHING."
You know they have gone full-woke when one clue, literally, was "Umbrella term for non-allosexual people."
"Riffed from the Headlines" is Townhall's daily VIP feature with coverage of the deeply flawed aspects of journalism in the nation, where Brad Slager looks to bring accountability to the mishaps, malaprops, misdeeds, manipulations, malpractice, and manufactured narratives in mainstream media.
