I figured we needed a thread specifically about the media.

There was a very big correction recently by the Washington Post.


That story was supposedly "independently confirmed" by CNN, NBC News, USA Today, ABC News, & PBS News Hour. How could they all have gotten the quote wrong if they actually independently confirmed the story?






Why do all the errors always go in one political direction and not closer to 50/50?

we all know how biased PBS and NPR can be. Puts Fox and OAN to shame
================================================
Firebrand congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, is demanding hearings and wants to haul the leadership of NPR and PBS to The Hill for hearings over their alleged "blatantly ideological and partisan coverage."

The "Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency," which Greene oversees, announced its intended review of PBS and NPR in a letter it sent on Monday to the heads of the broadcasters, according to Mediaite.

“The Subcommittee is concerned by Public Broadcasting Service’s (PBS) blatantly ideological and partisan coverage and looks forward to your participation in our upcoming hearing,” read the letter sent to PBS. “The Subcommittee seeks to better understand PBS’s position on providing Americans with accurate information. Please provide the Subcommittee with your availability to testify.”

The letters ask the heads of the broadcasters to find time to testify before the House Oversight Committee. It took particular issue with PBS implying that Tesla and X CEO Elon Musk made a "Nazi salute," on the day of Donald Trump’s inauguration.

“Recently, PBS implied that Mr. Elon Musk made a fascist salute while addressing an inaugural celebration hours after President Donald Trump was sworn into office. The characterization was clearly false. According to the Anti-Defamation League, a group that focuses on combating antisemitism,” the letter says.............

Fox News brought everyday ‘Trump voters’ on as guests. They’re actually GOP activists

One of the guests told The Independent that Fox News did not ask him about his past political campaigns during his recent conversations with the network, adding that he’d appeared on the channel in the past and first came in contact with Fox a couple of years ago.

The Washington Post pulled out of running a $115,000 front and back page advert that called for President Donald Trump to “fire” Elon Musk, his Department of Government Efficiency head, according to a new report.

Members of Congress, political pundits and the public have watched the world’s richest man and his non-official advisory body, DOGE, tear through various government departments, as he attempts to slash bureaucracy and cut $2 trillion in federal spending.

Advocacy group Common Cause, in collaboration with the Southern Poverty Law Center Action Fund, signed an agreement for a scathing anti-Musk wrap advert for Tuesday’s edition of the newspaper, as well as a full page inside the paper, according to The Hill.

The newspaper containing the “Fire Elon Musk” wrap was meant to be delivered to subscribers at Congress, the Pentagon and the White House, per the outlet.……

No money was exchanged as the advert didn’t run, she added.

Solomón questioned whether it was the relationship between Jeff Bezos, who attended Trump’s inauguration last month, and the president which meant the advert was pulled from the almost 150-year-old newspaper of record.

“Is it because we’re critical of what’s happening with Elon Musk? Is it only ok to run things inThe Post now that won’t anger the president or won’t have him calling Jeff Bezos asking why this was allowed?,” she continued.…..

‘Who’s running this country: Donald Trump or Elon Musk,’ reads the advert, which was intended for Tuesday’s edition of the newspaper

A Texas TV station removed a clip that showed footage of Nazi book burning in a report on a local school district decision after outraged Republicans intervened.

Houston’s KPRC - owned by Graham Media Group - aired a report last week on Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District’s removal of chapters from textbooks about vaccines, climate change and diversity.

The changes were “quietly implemented” last year, according to the network.

Introducing his report to the camera, journalist Joel Eisenbaum opened a textbook and tore out some of the pages to illustrate the story. “Book banning, in one form or another, goes back a long time,” he said, as the footage was cut with clips of Nazis burning books. “And now it's fashionable again, at least in some of our school districts,” Eisenbaum continued.

Republicans responded with fury and accused KPRC of branding GOP school board members as “Nazis.”

“KPRC in Houston is attacking Republican school board members in CyFair, calling them Nazis—all because they dare to prioritize reading, math, and science over leftist indoctrination,” Rep. Wesley Hunt wrote in a post on X, and suggested that the network was motivated by “election interference.”

“For the record: these texts were removed over a year ago, so why is this a ‘story’ now? Because there’s an election upcoming! It sounds like election interference to me.”

GOP Senator Paul Bettencourt added: “Channel 2 in an editorial compared the @CyFairISD ISD trustees in images to Nazis buring books, which is outlandish propaganda! Having elected School ISD trustees taking out DEI references out of textbooks, etc... doesn't mean licensed media can do this without question.”…….

They hate being called out for what they really are..

 

[TampaJoe]

Today being called a Nazi by the left is no longer that big a deal. That card has been played soooooo many times it is now meaningless. Now it’s like then little boy who cries “wolf”. That label has been so carelessly thrown around and over used that any conservative who hasn’t been labeled a Nazi or a racist bigot or a white extremist by the “left” probably doesn’t get out of the house.

It is the ultimate example of false equivalency. I would think anyone who knows anything about the rise and fall of Nazism would know the difference. But it’s a scare tactic used by politicians who have nothing better to offer than the politics of fear.

JMHO

Modern-day Nazis and white supremacists exist and they support the GOP. Why would you want to be associated with a party that racists and hatemongers look at and think, "Yeah, those are my people"?

Modern-day Nazis and white supremacists exist and they support the GOP. Why would you want to be associated with a party that racists and hatemongers look at and think, "Yeah, those are my people"?

That is why I am not a member of either party. The hate and intolerance and fear mongering from the left is just as intense.
