Pre-Written Field Reports – NBC NEWS

  • Showing zero curiosity about a fresh new phrase.

At last night's GOP debate, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis dropped a phrase about "Pale pastels," a term he has used in his stump speeches. NBC News reporter Ali Vitali heard him say this and criticized his use as attacking the clothing of others.

Bring up in your mind any time you have heard or read a journalist being condescending to Americans in any capacity because this is Ms. Vitali displaying a very narrow field of historical knowledge because DeSantis brings up this phrase on occasion as a nod to a speech from President Reagan, something several people were more than willing to assist this reporter in researching.

Artisanally-crafted Narratives – NBC NEWS

  • Well, they knew what he really meant, so they ran with that.

As there is plenty of speculation surrounding a passenger plane losing its door midflight, leading to information about the hiring policies of Boeing and the airline focusing on wokeness, Elon Musk weighed in – and NBC News chimed in on his comment.

The outlet claimed he criticized the hiring of non-white employees and had civil rights groups decrying his comment – except he did not mention race at all; he merely stated that people should be hired by merit. The news site was community-noted over this duplicity.

Hoax & Change - VARIOUS OUTLETS

  • The attempt at admission and accountability in the press becomes a definition of futility.

Vivek Ramaswamy did it again. At a campaign stop in Ohio, he challenged the assembled press on whether any of them were willing to admit to past instances of the news media being wildly incorrect in their narratives. He asked the reporters how many would admit to the errors that were the Russian Collusion storyline, the Wuhan lab leak story, or the veracity of Hunter Biden's laptop. Of the group members, only one raised his hand – a reporter from the New York Post, the originator of the laptop story.

It placed on full display the unwillingness of the press to be honest about themselves, which shows how little they care about being honest with Americans.

Blue-anon – POLITICO

  • When denying reality is the real conspiracy theory.

For years now, the authorities and the Democrats have worked hard to keep the infamous Epstein List from being released to the public, and now we can add Politico to the list of deniers.

In pure deflection mode, Catherine Kim comes out with this attempt to classify the list in a similar category as QAnon and Pizzagate, straining to make this a forgetting crackpot theory that is of interest only to those deplorable, MAGA wing-nuts. Yes, only kooks are opposed to pedophilia and child trafficking, we are instructed to believe.

Reporting on the Mirror – ESPN

The Athletic has a massive story where ESPN has been contacted by the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences that the network needed to return over 30 Emmy Awards that had been granted to on-air talent. An investigation discovered that over a span of seven years, ESPN had skirted Emmy rules by submitting false names in production categories in order for the network to win trophies for its talent.

Most of the fraud involved the Saturday flagship show "College Game Day," and executives had orchestrated this scam so it could grant the awards to their on-air personalities.
