Packing the Supreme Court, and the Lamest Media Hit Job Ever

The New York Times’s latest attempt at a manufactured scandal — that a few years ago, a Supreme Court Justice’s wife flew a flag upside down — is among the most desperate election-year media ploys ever seen. It’s obvious what this non-story is about: the corporate journalists are attempting to conjure up a pretense for the Supreme Court to be “reformed,” which, in this case, usually involves adding five or more new seats and immediately filling them with far-left ideologues. Nobody’s buying it, because we know the media’s thoughts on the Supreme Court. As soon as Trump started nominating judges, they began questioning the court’s legitimacy and arguing that perhaps something needed to change. Here’s how they’ve talked about it over the past year:     Journalism during an election year is like playoff hockey. Convinced that democracy itself its on the line, the narrative pushers have grown bolder and more shameless with their political hackery. At this point, sheer volume of nonsense has reached a point where one struggles to keep track of all their shenanigans. Does anyone even remember how last week, during the final day of jury deliberation in Trump’s New York trial, a slew of mainstream news publications suddenly started blasting our phones with alerts proclaiming that a tape existed of the former President using a racial slur? It was only a week ago. What was that about? Why is literally nobody talking about it anymore? Where did all the media interest go? Kind of weird how it all completely evaporated the second Trump was found guilty. It’s almost like these outlets knew they were publishing fake news. That brings us to The Times’s latest non-story. Does anyone really believe the American news media, with all their criticism of America, flouting of norms, and scorn for tradition, are actually upset at the supposed mishandling of an American flag? It’s not like it was a pride flag. Perhaps aware of their weak pretense, they tried to punch up their story with a new scandalous detail: the Alitos were also seen flying the “Appeal to Heaven” flag on one of their properties. You know, that flag commissioned centuries ago by George Washington. Apparently we’re meant to pretend it’s a symbol of January 6 or racism or something now. Of course, the facts didn’t line up for that one either, and it became clear that history would have to be revised in order for democracy to be saved. Wikipedia made some stealth edits to its page about the flag, but then it came out that the deepest blue cesspit of a city in all of America, San Francisco, had been flying the flag outside its city hall for years. The local government tried to keep the narrative alive by quietly taking down the flag, but at that point everyone with an IQ above room temperature already had stopped paying attention to this fake scandal. The journalists officially are out of control. Look forward to the next insane ploy as election day approaches. We’ll be here to cover it.

11 Obscure Things that Outnumber CNN's Prime Time Viewership

By now, you’ve probably heard the sad news: CNN’s ratings are in the toilet. Despite a decent daytime bump from the ongoing Trump trials, the network’s prime time numbers last week dropped to a three-decade low of 83,000 viewers among the vaunted 25-54 year-old demographic. To illustrate just how low those ratings truly are, we put together a list of weird and esoteric things that are more numerous than CNN’s prime time key demo viewers. 1) Competitive Rubik’s Cube solvers registered with the World Cube Association. The World Cube Association is a volunteer-led 501(c)(3) organization at the heart of the “speedcubing” world. They host a surprising amount of tournaments every year, as well as a biennial world championship. In total, the WCA has over 200,000 registered competitors. 2) Professional psychics working in America. There are 96,000 of them. Please note that professional is not a synonym for competent. Incidentally, CNN employs hundreds of professional journalists. 3) People with heterochromia in the United States. There are more than 200,000 people in the U.S. whose left and right eyes are different colors. This means you’re more than twice as likely to know somebody with this rare condition as you are to have a friend or family member between 25 and 54 who watches CNN on weeknights. Now think about how many people you know with heterochromia. Yeah. 4) Participants in a 1988 conga line in Miami. This one didn’t sound real to us, but the source is none other than the Guinness Book of World Records. On the fateful day of March 13, 1988, a whopping 119,986 people gathered in Miami for some weird record-breaking fun. 5) Once-critically endangered wild Bighorn Sheep living in North America. The exact figure is the subject of debate, but according to the American Wild Sheep Foundation, the wild bighorn sheep population has climbed to a respectable 85,000 in recent years, from a low of just 25,000 in 1977. That’s a big W for the conservationists, and a pretty wild L for CNN. 6) Attendees of a women’s volleyball match in Nebraska last year. In August of last year, a regular season NCAA women’s volleyball match between Omaha and Nebraska attracted more than 92,000 spectators. The event broke the world record for highest attendance of any women’s sporting event. 7) Registered bicycle rickshaws in New Delhi. Less than 20 percent of rickshaw operators in India’s capital actually have legal government permits to operate. Nonetheless, that still leaves us with 99,000 licensed bicycle rickshaws. 8) Tennis balls thrown out per day in the U.S. To be fair, there are actually hundreds of thousands of tennis balls thrown away every day in America alone. But it’s still a pretty funny statistic. 9) Annual breast reduction patients in America. Mind you, this figure doesn’t include elective mastectomies. But apparently about 90,000 women every year choose to shrink (but keep) their breasts. 10) Female professional forklift operators. Just under eight percent of licensed forklift operators in the U.S. are women. But that fraction still represents approximately 127,000 hardhat-clad ladies operating heavy machinery. 11) Subscribers to a youtube channel called “Justin Y” which has never uploaded a single video. Justin Y currently boasts 784,000 subscribers. Even if only half of those subscribers are between 25 and 54, that still means that watching nothing is several times more appealing than watching CNN during primetime.

The Biden Lies the Liberal Media Want You to Forget

As the 2024 election approaches, the left-wing corporate media have lost all interest in President Biden’s frequent lies about his life and career. In the past, these journalists have paid brief attention to the one of President’s latest tall tales, but rarely have they ever bothered to revisit them when the moment has passed. No matter how frequently Biden may lie, the media refuse to see a pattern. As NewsBusters executive editor Tim Graham has noted, prominent Biden fact-checkers spend a great deal of time disputing negative claims about Biden, yet they show little interest in fact-checking the man himself. Thanks to this favoritism, the President has gotten away with telling a host of utterly false or unproven stories about his own life. Some of these stories are less than a month old, while others have popped up multiple times throughout Biden’s decades-long political career. See for yourself how many of these fibs the media would prefer we all conveniently forget:  

Media Panic that Pro-Hamas Campus Protests May Hurt Biden, 'Like 1968'

After weeks of defending pro-hams campus protests, the media are now panicking that those same protests might hurt biden’s re-election chances. In the past week, a slew of political commentators have written articles comparing the current situation on college campuses to the anti-war protests of 1968, and warning that a summer of radical leftism may clinch the 2024 election for Donald Trump. CNN’s Jake Tapper put it best during the April 29 edition of The Lead: When you look at these protests, these images, when you see the controversies about the ones that have an antisemitic element, and on and on, just like what you’re seeing on the side of your screen right now. Do you think to yourself... “Wow, this is a real in-kind contribution to Donald Trump.” The corporate media are certainly aware that these protests are unpopular. But rather than condemn them outright, their focus is instead on what that means for their preferred Presidential candidate. Watch:
