BlueAnon – ABC NEWS
Do they not have timestamps at your network?
The trial of Laken Riley has concluded, and the illegal immigrant who killed her has been convicted – which means the pro-Biden, anti-border-security media are conflicted. Many outlets have been straining to avoid the immigration aspect of this trial or resort to the tired ploy of noting how Republicans are politicizing the story.
At ABC News, reporter Ike Ejiochi literally strains credulity as he attempts to excuse Joe Biden's lax border policies while shifting the blame to Donald Trump for this murder. How?
Ejiochi brings up the Senate border bill that was stalled out and never passed, as he ignores Biden's stripping down of at least a dozen Trump's border policies when he came into office.
Oh, and one other detail – RILEY WAS KILLED TWO YEARS PRIOR TO THE SENATE BILL BEING DRAFTED.
This is Ike Ejiochi claiming Trump is responsible for Laken Riley’s death because he helped stifle the Senate border bill.

The Senate bill was drawn years after Riley’s death, so this is complete journalism malpractice. pic.twitter.com/LY5CtMCX8r
Gilded Reframe – THE DAILY MAIL
I dunno…it seems the guy may have accomplished something more in the last few decades.
Have you noticed the pattern in the press about the various Trump appointees for his Cabinet? Beyond the obvious outrage at his picks, the press has this need to ignore the qualifications any may possess. We have said how it is rather precious that television personalities are disregarding television personalities as wholly unqualified, but this is becoming pathological. Just some examples:
- Incoming "Border Czar" Tom Homan was a border patrol supervisor and director of ICE = "Fox News commentator"
- Susie Wiles was the winning campaign manager and the first woman ever picked as WH Chief Of Staf = "Threat to democracy"
- Secretary of Defense appointee Pete Hegseth has served in the military for decades as a decorated war vet = "TV Host"
- Department of Homeland Security appointee Kristi Noem is a governor and former Congresswoman = "Dog killer"
Add to this list: Sean Duffy. The longtime member of Congress was previously a prosecutor and served as a district attorney. But none of this counts, according to the Daily Mail. No, some 30-plus years ago he appeared on MTV's "The Real World: Boston," and was a typical collegiate party animal and philanderer, so he should be disqualified.

Reporting on the Mirror – MSNBC (for now)
There are still tremors being felt in the hallways of MSNBC as the official word came down that Comcast-Universal intends to spin off into a separate entity the cable channels division. We have speculated on how much this would impact the connections between NBC News and its cable sibling. It is starting to appear that the network news entity might consider itself smeared by the association, so now we see it could be a severing of ties.
Brian Steinberg of Variety is reporting that the move to separate the channels is ongoing now and that the cable news channel may be required to drop the last three letters from its name and go through a complete rebranding.

Low-Octane Gaslighting – MSNBC
All the more reason for NBC to turn tail and leave them behind.
Another defamation suit appears to be moving forward in the press, this one regarding former Robert Mueller attorney and current MSNBC legal analyst Andrew Weissman. He is being sued by former Trump lawyer Stefan Passantino over claims that Weissman made on his Xitter account that Passantino had coached January 6 star witness Cassidy Hutchinson to lie under oath to the committee.
Weissman appears to base this off of reports on CNN that claimed sources connected to the J6 Committee detailed that Passantino guided Hutchinson to manipulate her testimony. The former White House aid fired the lawyer and later testified in prime time with her outlandish stories of Trump and the Secret Service.

Anti-Social Media – BLUESKY
Ah, a return to the golden era of biased censorship!
As more journalists make a big deal out of going to Bluesky and forsaking Xitter, they tend to avoid mentioning key factors:
Despite claims of it dying, Xitter is growing rapidly and advertisers are returning, as it sports about a 40/1 ratio of monthly users.
Bluesky is a censorship-happy platform.
The users at Bluesky are blocking, reporting, and attacking each other with seemingly more energy than on Xitter.
All that said, it is a hive of intolerant "Karens" and about as fun as fire ants dumped in your britches.
So naturally, Taylor Lorenz is raving about how the place is like Twitter, circa five years ago.
This site really does feel like 2019 Twitter in a good way
