Low-Octane Gaslighting – NBC 6 NEWS, MIAMI
Elon Musk, Repo Man, will kill the environment?
We have a hysteria-flood warning due to a hot air front arriving from an activist weatherman man system.
Channel 6 weather warrior John Morales has a dire warning for the upcoming storm season: Elon Musk will be responsible for any hurricane deaths! That is essentially the message from the Miami meteorologist who has announced that his ability to predict storm path has become hampered because of cuts imposed by DOGE.
Morales states that six years ago he would have been able to be deeply accurate, but because of changes, “I am not sure that I can do that this year because of the cuts, the gutting, the sledgehammer attack on science in general,” Morales said.
Apparently, Musk came in and collected all of their monitoring equipment and wiped clean all of their modeling software, in dastardly fashion!

Anti-Social Media – CNN
A prediction based on a non-existent track record, we see.
It should not be something to teach, but journalists who make predictions based off of previously unproven projections is a recipe for failure. And embarrassment. But this reality did not deter New York Times reporter Lulu Garcia-Navarro as she was a guest on a CNN panel to discuss the Trump-Musk feud that boiled up. The journalist predicted that this new division that emerged will possibly lead to the demise of Elon Musk:
“I think this is bad for Musk. I am — if you look at the history around the world of authoritarians breaking up with their oligarch buddies, those oligarch buddies don‘t end up in a good place. They either end up impoverished, imprisoned, or dead. I’m not saying that that’s going to happen to Elon Musk here, but the power is with the government.”
What we are witnessing is a journalist operating from the standpoint that the mythical dystopian promises they made about Donald Trump are already entrenched reality.
For this scenario to hold up, we first have to buy into the media canard that Donald Trump is a murderous authoritarian, despite the lack of examples of his doing this; but since they have convinced themselves he is already at this level, Trump is to be assigned the guilt of those past oppressors.
CNN is having a normal one. New York Times reporter Lulu Garcia-Navarro takes part in a panel this morning and suggests @realDonaldTrump might have @elonmusk killed or imprisoned.

Nah, trying to kill or imprison people you disagree with is a leftist thing. pic.twitter.com/z9LeLowexB
Artisanally-Crafted Narratives – WASHINGTON POST
Fears about what may happen to be used to accuse guilt over what is suspected to take place.
“For many” the mood is altered.
“Some” policies from Trump have dampened the mood.
“A number of countries have issued travel warnings.”
These, and many other vague warning signs, are pointed to regarding the World Pride celebration event to be held in D.C. But, as expected, most of this is rooted in mostly emotional reactions. As an example, what violence or other threats against the LGBT𝜋 community have taken place to warrant a travel warning? Yet we are supposed to take these tremulous reactions as a sign of serious threats:
At the same time “the executive orders that were directly targeting our community and other marginalized communities created feelings of despair, of anger, of ‘what country am I living in?’”
As another indicator of how this piece is not operating from a standpoint of reality, this talk of “marginalized communities” is defied by the fact that not only is this the start of Pride MONTH, but these “underrepresented” groups have numerous other signifying dates that occupy well north of half of the entire calendar year.
The message from the District to LGBTQ+ residents and visitors has been a cheery and unequivocal, “We want you here.”

But for many in the LGBTQ+ community, the election of Donald Trump and his return to the presidency has altered the mood for WorldPride. https://t.co/WKcZLfyljv
Matching Media Memorandum – USA TODAY
That thing they confirmed for weeks is now something to be debated.
Joining the ranks of media outlets suddenly calling into question the idea that Joe Biden was mentally falling off is USA Today.
Trump orders investigation of Joe Biden's alleged 'cognitive decline' and use of autopen https://t.co/koldHbTSB9
— USA TODAY (@USATODAY) June 5, 2025
For weeks, the press had been affirming that Joe Biden had severe mental challenges made evident, all resulting from the revelations in the book “Original Sin.” But then the moment the Trump White House announced it would be looking into the operations of the previous administration, we now have a wave of outlets reverting to their past denials, and now his cognitive decline is something “alleged.”
Prose & Contradiction – KTLA CHANNEL 5, LOS ANGELES
You just had to know there was more to this story.
With each one of the martyr stories we see emerging in the media regarding the deportations (something we rarely heard bout during the Biden and Obama deportations), there is a pattern of sympathetic reporting with crucial omissions of mitigating details.
In the latest we hear of a dastardly deportation of a fourth grader at the hands of Tom Homan’s “oppressive” ICE enforcement.
Federal officials confirmed that a Southern California fourth grader who was detained by immigration officials will be deported.https://t.co/GIN9vxfP63

And then, right on cue, we later find out there are valid reasons to be seen in this case. It turns out that the boy and his father came into the country illegally and had a court order to be returned, and lost their appeal as well – which means they went through due process. Now why would these specifics be left out of the reporting?!
Headline of course leaves out that the boy and his dad are Hondurans who illegally crossed the border in 2021 & were ordered to return to Honduras by a judge in 2022. The father appealed, and his appeal was rejected. They failed to leave the US, & will now be deported together https://t.co/A5tBUlku07

Pulitzer Prize Nomination – ABC NEWS
Is this a SCOOP, BREAKING, or an EXCLUSIVE?
With the divorce that seems to have taken place between President Trump and Elon Musk, many questions have been created, but we are not sure that anyone was unsure where J.D. Vance would come to rest on the matter.
Apparently at ABC News, they felt it was somehow notable that the Vice President would come out and declare that he is on Team Trump. Thank you, dear journalists, for this revealing report.
Vice Pres. J.D. Vance has expressed his support for the president amid the public dispute between Donald Trump and Musk.https://t.co/lan0EOvr6Z
