Blue-Anon – CBS NEWS
Did anyone at the network even read their own report first?!
This one really borders on the unbelievable. Sheer malpractice of the highest order.
In the wake of the dual hurricanes hitting the Gulf Coast of Florida and moving into North Carolina, the press has been full of outrage about perceived instances of misinformation. It has been bordering on a fixation.
Then today comes misinformation of the highest order from CBS News. In a deeply irresponsible report that has been repeated across the news outlets, the network claims that the North Carolina National Guard detailed that FEMA relief teams are being prevented from servicing those in distress due to roving bands of militia targeting the workers.
Then comes this completely disqualifying statement in the very same report:
Recommended
The North Carolina National Guard told CBS News in a statement on Monday that it had "no reports of our soldiers or airmen encountering any armed militia, any threats and any type of combatants. We are continuing to serve all those counties in need of our assistance."
Abject lies. It turns out there was a lone individual making the empty claim, and he has been arrested. This is a new low across the media landscape.
FEMA says its disaster assistance teams will be at fixed locations after National Guard troops reportedly encountered armed militia who said they were "hunting FEMA." https://t.co/HPuq8BnwHs

Democrat Custodial Services – ABC NEWS
It would appear there is an acceptable amount of gang takeovers before it counts as happening.
There is a tactic of desperation in the news industry that a narrative that needs to be shut down is proven "incorrect" because it is declared to barely be happening. Case in point: When the topic of late-term abortions in the ninth month is brought up, the press calls this FALSE by declaring these are rare instances. Sure, in number this is accurate, but it still means it takes place and that the Democrats support it taking place.
In a similar fashion, we see Martha Raddatz, filling in for George Stephanopoulos on Sunday's "This Week," sparring with J.D. Vance on the issue of immigration, specifically the story of Venezuelan gangs taking over apartment complexes in Colorado. Raddatz became very bothered by this fact and delivered possibly the most mentally impacted argument, made in order to maintain the narrative: It's only a handful of apartment complexes that have become overrun by these immigrant gangs!
Raddatz: "The incidents were limited to a handful of apartment complexes... A handful!"@JDVance: "Do you hear yourself? Only a handful of apartment complexes were taken over by Venezuelan gangs and Donald Trump is the problem and not Kamala Harris' open border?"

Both Kinds of Standards – NBC NEWS
Remember back when asking for this kind of medical proof was deemed intolerant and "ageism"?
In another Sunday show beatdown, Speaker Mike Johnson sat in with Kristen Welker on "Meet the Press." Firstly, among the topics to come up was Donald Trump's health, and Welker attempted the tired trick of dropping a truth grenade on a subject before blithely moving on to a new topic. She attempts to suggest Trump began the FEMA program funding immigrants' housing needs, and Johnson was having none of it. He pointed out this was a new and separate program, whereby Trump only allocated $30 million for some assistance while Biden's new FEMA initiative began with $150 million his first year and ballooned to over $1 billion spent in 2023-24.
But Welker then persisted in Trump releasing his medical records, including his cholesterol results. That is something at the top of every voter's mind: They need to know which candidate has the lower triglyceride counts before they can confidently cast their ballots!
What this insistence by Welker avoids is how in the first half of this year the press was adamantly against finding out about Joe Biden's health, going in the other direction and declaring that anyone who dared ask about his health was a hateful conspiracy kook.
Kristen Welker tried to humiliate Speaker Johnson and she ran into an absolute buzzsaw.

All politics aside, it's glorious to see a smug journalist cut down to size like this 👏 pic.twitter.com/4eYG1rB5W0
Presentation Paradox – THE NEW YORK TIMES
The New York Times came out with a hit piece claiming that Fox News host Rachel Campos-Duffy delivered misinformation in the form of claiming 80,000 immigrant children have been lost in the HHS system, and now this has developed into a false talking point on Donald Trump's campaign trail.
It is then with amazement that the paper comes forward to essentially say the problem is worse. What is at issue for The Times is that the word "lost" is somehow incorrect; they just cannot locate the kids, which…is…somehow…different?!
The New York Times reported last year that the office, which checks on the children via phone calls, was unable to reach 85,000 children, or about a third of cases, in 2021 and 2022. The Times did not report that the children were “lost,” but that they were more susceptible to exploitative and illegal working conditions.

News Avoidance Syndrome – VARIOUS OUTLETS
Cannot even keep the narratives straight after one week.
Let's recall all the way back in the distant past of – seven days ago. This was when "60 Minutes" was going to broadcast its traditional interview with the presidential candidates, and the big advance coverage in the press was how Donald Trump turned down the request to sit with the program. He was mocked and condemned over the decision.
Well, there is another news outlet that does the very same type of candidate interviews for a presidential election – Time Magazine. This year, it has been seen that Kamala Harris is refusing to sit with the magazine, but unlike Trump – who spurned CBS News over its lying during his past visit – Harris has no dark history with Time, so there is no valid explanation.
There is also no media outrage over her avoidance to be seen.
Despite multiple requests, TIME has not been granted an interview with Kamala Harris—unlike every other Presidential candidate. We believe in transparency and publish each interview in full. Why isn’t the Vice President engaging with the public on the same level? #TrustMatters…
