Democratic Custodial Services – THE NEW YORK TIMES
Since not everything she said was a mess, it cannot be deemed a disaster.
The Munich Security Conference was the usual gaggle of elitists gathering in a manner that would make proper-thinking people clutch their wallets and await which Bill of Rights numbers would be erased. Many Democrats made appearances in a bid to burnish their electability for 2028, and Democratic Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez (NY-14) did just the opposite. Among her flaming embarrassments:
She stated our "attack" on Venezuela was on a nation south of the Equator.
She tried to shame Secretary of State Marco Rubio for saying cowboys came from Spain, and stated Mexico was the source, ignorant that horses were introduced to North America by Christopher Columbus and Hernán Cortés.
Then there was this absolute fiasco:
To borrow from Howard Jones, her aspirations were in the clouds but her hopes went down the drain.

AOC went to Munich to audition for a POTUS run and demonstrate she is more than a dim-witted barmaid who read the CliffsNotes for the Marx-Engels Reader.

So with this impressive display of incompetence, what does The New York Times say about her performance? Mostly great, with just a few "shaky" moments where she had "a few stumbles."
Please…
NY TIMES: “She had some slight stumbles.”

Democratic Custodial Services – BLOOMBERG
Getting yourselves primed for the Kamala 2.0 Campaign, we see.
Joining in on the cleanup efforts was Bloomberg, and with this, we see how the press will manage if AOC becomes a 2028 candidate: They will revise and rewrite whatever is needed to make her look fabulous.
The outlet tried to say she spoke out against the politically powerful and elites, as she was speaking TO those very people hanging on her every word. And in the moments when she was not marvelously incorrect, she spouted empty nonsense in true Kamala fashion as the Euro elites were full of applause, and Bloomberg hailed her visit a success.

Race to the Bottom – ABC NEWS
Jon comes out in favor of the wrong people; we have to guess.
Kristi Noem recently gave a presser, and she mentioned the efforts to clean up our voter rolls and ensure that actual citizens are casting votes. She used the phrase "the right people" to reference certified voters, and this caught the attention of deep-thinking journalist Jonathan Karl. His reaction to this quote had him hearing those so-called dog whistles, and he needed a fainting couch upon hearing those words.
“… the right people voting, electing the right leaders …”

Pathological Media Amnesia – THE NEW YORK TIMES
Now granted, this opinion was before the pandemic, so basically it doesn't count.
Another journo getting his underoos in a twist over race was Peter Baker of The Times. He heard some testimony of Jeremy Carl, who is up for a State Department position, and he dared to say some things about whites becoming a diminished demographic in this country.
White House stands by State Department nominee who complains that "white Americans are increasingly second-class citizens," warns of "white erasure" and says "the Jews love to see themselves as oppressed." @CAMcGrady https://t.co/n6Xk0WltJ0

Peter seems rather bothered about this. Peter, therefore, would also be bothered by the report that whites are a shrinking demographic in the country, as reported previously by…Peter Baker.
Without fail, you will always find tweets like this from journalists who write things like that.

Stealth Story Evolution – ABC NEWS
If this figure sounds wasteful, we have a city in the Midwest you guys should check out.
ABC News has really hit on the best opposition to ICE: It has come up with a figure of what it is costing us to deport individuals.
$40 million.
Now, let's place that supposedly ghastly sum beside the billions of dollars in fraud being exposed just in the city of Minneapolis, which the bulk of the news industry is refusing to cover. After being shamed for this stunted approach, the network deleted its post.
That’s it?! $40 million?!
— Oilfield Rando (@Oilfield_Rando) February 14, 2026
Hell, they gave the Kennedy Center TWICE that amount just for COVID!!
The BBB cut $27 BILLION in scam grants to communist protest orgs.
$40 million? Lol. Lmao. https://t.co/n5EhVVcVqk
Border-line Obsession – CBS News, Austin
Another 20/80 video clip was used to alter the storyline.
During yet another dose of conflict with officials over immigration detentions, the local Texas station takes the bleating from a 17-year-old who claims that police nearly tear-gassed her for no reason while protesting actions.
Greenlee Martinez, 17, said she was threatened with a taser during an ICE walkout protest in Round Rock. CBS has reached out to the Austin Police Department for a statement.https://t.co/2oD37DP10h pic.twitter.com/U2SeEO5Ws1
— CBS Austin (@cbsaustin) February 13, 2026
Yet the station conveniently cut the video of the experience, omitting the portion where she was directly confrontational with the cops, who would not have been blamed had they given her a serving of the pepper spray.
Here’s the video of Greenlee getting in the face of cops and making contact with them…

You conveniently left that out of your reporting.
It took me 90 seconds to find it…. You’re intentionally trying to make her look like a victim when she isn’t.
