Race to the Bottom – (formerly) CNN
Someone so full of himself who never looks in the mirror.
Don Lemon continues his "Oblivious: The Tour" appearances following his fiasco of an interview with Elon Musk which led to his show being pulled from the platform. So far, he has appeared on CNN and been interviewed by People Magazine, and now, he is continuing to embarrass himself further with repeated shows on YouTube.
For his latest, he had Kara Swisher on his show to continue to discuss the trainwreck interview. The man proves incapable of performing any introspection, now alluding that the problems with things with Musk could be the result of Musk either being racist or homophobic.

News Avoidance Syndrome – VARIOUS OUTLETS
As the controversy over the illegal immigration issue continues to confound the press, there are more examples of how out of focus this all has become. By taking this to the depth of not even being permitted to call the invading arrivals "illegals," actual illegal activity is invalidated. Frequently, we get served stories of immigrants committing serious crimes only to be turned loose. This has now exposed the agenda.
In Chicago, an illegal immigrant has been repeatedly arrested – one time while exiting a courthouse for a prior offense – and still let go. This has led to him committing a hate crime shooting, but it has led to the press turning their collective backs on the story. This individual opened fire on a trans woman after shouting intolerant language, and nobody seems particularly interested in reporting on the story.
This is a stark example of the type of violence trans activists frequently discuss, but the fact that it would impugn the character of immigrants means the story is ignored outright.

Presentation Paradox – THE ATLANTIC
The utopian society of rats, shootings, panhandling, and anti-social behavior sounds like a dream.
At The Atlantic, Qian Julie Wang attempts to paint a picture of New York City that seems to only exist in Nora Ephron films. She tries to tell us how city citizens love riding the subway and regard the experience to be a spiritually fulfilling experience shared with neighbors.
Keep in mind, this is in response to Governor Kathy Hochul seeing the need to call in the National Guard to bring order to the "Lord Of The Flies" atmosphere.
Best of all, Wang provides a list of the very disturbing activity experienced in the tubes beneath the city.
These two tableaus occur within the same piece from @QianJulieWang .

- Subways in NY present a beatific communal experience all residents savor and seek out.

Legalized Press-titution – WASHINGTON POST
One of the more desperate revisions of the Biden presidency is that stumbling Joe has his slurring, meandering, lie-filled and incomprehensible speech excused away as being a stutter. The man has never exhibited such a problem before, but this is what the press has been intent to sell us as an explanation.
The comedy is that now – after making his alleged stutter a focal point – Biden's unofficial biographer, Matt Viser, comes out to express dismay that Biden's stutter has become a campaign topic. Going so far as to refer to the non-existent malady as his "speech impediment" and his "disability":
The election may ultimately be decided by sweeping issues like the economy, immigration, abortion and democracy. But the early phase has also been marked by a discussion, in ways both crass and subtle, of a far more personal topic — Biden’s stutter. That back-and-forth reflects the candidates’ sharply differing views of disability and struggle, and their role in a divided political culture that can reward ridicule more than acceptance.

DNC PR Firm – GOOGLE
- Altering search results to fit the narrative.
After this weekend's exposure of the media complex all working together to paint Donald Trump as calling for violence when he used the term "bloodbath," it became a widespread embarrassment when it was so roundly debunked that he was not only discussing the effects in the auto industry but using an economic term so commonplace that it appears in the dictionary.
So, Google came up with a way of bailing out the press and still having Trump labeled as a violent extremist: The search engine altered the dictionary definition returns when searching the word on Google.
HOLY SHlT. Google just quietly changed its search results for "bloodbath definition" pic.twitter.com/3AnPCetQpv
