Pulitzer Prize Nomination – THE ATLANTIC
When their equivalency amounts to zero in the formula.
Thomas Chatterton Williams rides in with a mentally-stunted thinkpiece where he has the stones to compare the Charlie Kirk assassination and the aftermath to the George Floyd death and the BLM summer.
It does not need to be explained how this is so asinine. Chatterton Williams cannot even see the lack of violent outrage that was on display in 2020 as an indicator of how he is so in error, but how his editors did not hit the PAUSE button on this reflects on the whole magazine.
"Just as the left used [George] Floyd’s death to justify and hasten all manner of political ends, the right is invoking [Charlie] Kirk’s name to advance illiberal aims and silence opponents," @thomaschattwill writes: https://t.co/fUp7TlzRRy

Reporting on the Mirror – HOLLYWOOD
You are all standing together, fine. Will you actually DO something?
The issue of censorship, once a rock-solid position held in Hollywood, has become a fluid concept. For example, they are today willing to alter finished movies in order to appease the communist censors so they can get films shown in China.
A larger group of artists has come out in support of the regeneration of a McCarthy-era organization, The Committee for the First Amendment. This is a response to the “censorship” that has affected Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, and more. Well over 500 names have bravely signed on to the letter put out by this reconstituted group. What does this letter declare they will do?
Well…nothing. They just proclaim they will stand together and decry censorship, concerning two names currently on the air, saying whatever they want.

First Amendment Strike Force – AMAZON
Where are the censor scolds in Hollywood over this move?!
It would seem that Amazon Prime has a standard where it does not want to display any promotional materials for movies that display weaponry. We think? This proves a curious stance from the studio that has produced military-based offerings like “The Terminal List” and “Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan.”
It has been shown that on the collection of James Bond movies offered on the platform, they have erased the display of a gun on all the key art for each film.
Here’s all of them. Yikes. pic.twitter.com/Iv4LIhxM1F

Both Kinds of Standards – CNN
“Where do people get these ideas?” asks the outlet delivering those ideas.
Joe Concha delivers the best visual on the conflict of the government shutdown, the Democrats wanting illegals to get health coverage, and the press covering for the Dems.
This display sums up the entire issue quite efficiently.

Body Checking the Fact-Checkers – CNN
Danny should check on Jake!
The suddenly energized truth detector at CNN, Daniel Dale, has sprung into action this week, slamming the president. In one instance, he takes issue with the matter of Democrats wanting illegals to get health care. He was on with Jake Tapper to decry claims being made about the Democrats' proposal during the shutdown.
Lastly and in true pants-on-fire fashion, CNN’s Jake Tapper and Daniel Dale play word games to smear Republicans as liars for claiming Democrats want to give illegal immigrants health care, insisting they’re not illegal because the Biden administration gave them “permission to be… pic.twitter.com/5WA9XlwOYj

Yet, Jake—on the very same broadcast—laid out how the very thing they were dismissing as false was, in fact, taking place.

Gilded Reframe – MSNBC
There’s that word again, tripping them up on their narrative.
One-time conservative and longtime mailman’s son, John Kasich, was on the soon-to-be repackaged MSNBC, trying to lecture the Trump administration. John was trying to deliver a paternal message that all of these acts of alleged aggression toward opponents would one day rear back and bite conservatives.
One problem, though, with this lecture: John was addressing what he called Trump’s acts of “retribution.” Mr. Kasich seemed incapable of grasping that the use of that word means that it is, in fact, Democrats who should be regretting their actions directed at Trump and being used on them today.
A day will come when Democrats return to power in Washington and Republicans are likely to regret the kinds of divisive tactics and retribution the American people are seeing from their government these days. pic.twitter.com/0ZXuQ5qt0O
