Emotional rifts from the Washington Post staff led to mass cancellations and they are now in a panic

After the announcement that the Washington Post was not officially endorsing a candidate (although we can make the choice based on the outpouring of positive “Kamala Koverage”), there was a total revolt among the staff. Some writers and editors have quit, and many are meowing on social media about what this insult to journalism means for the good of our country or some other kind of nonsense.

What’s hilarious is that they never realized that their emotional breakdown on social media would spark an uprising from the readers, and now many realize what they’ve caused, and it’s grim. Well done, you self-righteous bastards.

Report on the mirror –WASHINGTON POST

The ongoing crisis at the Washington Post, resulting from the paper’s failure to endorse a candidate for the practice of nonpartisanship, has been the cause of outcry among the WaPo staff for days. There have been layoffs and all kinds of criticism has been leveled at their employers – and this has led to unforeseen circumstances.

Readers have canceled their subscriptions in response, noting that the same reporters are now waving their arms and begging people not to do this because it will harm their condition. The most unconscious example comes from Caroline Kitchener, who discovered the folly of their outrage when she learned that her own mother had canceled her subscription.

As a solution to the denial of WaPo’s endorsement, a brave soul from the newspaper came forward to release a column in full support of Kamala Harris. Given the ridiculousness of the Kamala Harris campaign, it seems fitting that this support most appropriately comes from the humor columnist.

Presentation paradox – THE NEW YORK TIMES

Maureen Dowd looked at some internal polls and made a discovery: 60% of women vote for Kamala Harris, and 60% of men vote for Trump. Then Dowd drew a humorous conclusion: Those men who don’t vote for Harris are poisonous animals.

It’s always funny to see how the media spends years demonizing a group and later acts angry when that group doesn’t enthusiastically support a cause. White people are inherently racist but unwilling to cough up money for reparations, they have harassed Christians for years but can’t understand the opposition to abortion, they tell women to do it and support men in women’s sports, and so it goes on. Now those sexist men (surprisingly) won’t support a Democrat after that party spent a generation attacking masculinity.

In determining the best course of action for Kamala’s challenge, we note that Dowd does not see a problem with the way women vote, but that these men’s identical voting of their own kind is a problem. So what’s her best method for attracting guys to the K-Hive? By insulting them!

Cartoonish macho posturing / Trump’s boastful, bullying and abusive / Shrinking male primacy / Trump exploits the crisis among Gen Z men, a crisis driven by loneliness, Covid isolation, economic insecurity, a lack of purpose / Trump is phallocentric

Yes…you can already imagine the guys rushing to cast a vote for Kamala right now!

Pre-written field reports –CNN

Things got a little controversial on CNN when Jake Tapper brought in JD Vance, and his guest didn’t follow Jake’s rules of taking all the criticism without question!

Instead, Vance had the nerve — rather than swallowing Tapper’s accusatory rants — to actually backtrack on CNN’s previous record of pushing false claims about Russian collusion and the Hunter Biden laptop . But then Vance delivered the punch that really upset Tapper.

While the host insisted that they had to cover Trump’s controversial comments because he doesn’t discuss topics like the economy, Vance set him straight, explaining that both Trump and himself talk about the economy almost every day. Watch how Tapper is confronted with hard truths and becomes quite unbalanced as a result.

  • “Okay, so that thing we did weeks ago that everyone is still mad about? We’re going to do it again and we want everyone to watch.”

Three weeks ago, ’60 Minutes’ became embroiled in a controversy of its own making by editing the Kamala Harris interview and exposing how it works to improve her image. Last week, Norah O’Donnell showed great partisanship on several evenings when she opened coverage of the campaign by saying Harris did great things for her cause but leaned critically toward Trump over his appearances and comments. Afterwards, Norah went to Houston to broadcast live from Kamala’s meeting with Beyoncé.

After all this, the network had the means to promote the fact that O’Donnell would be interviewing Harris, as if at this point anyone but the already converted would be interested. Few were actually interested, it seems, as there hasn’t been much media attention to what was said during this interview.

Body checks the fact checkers – POLICE FACT

So Kamala dared to mention immigration during his campaign, and this one is quite astonishing. She boasts that they have reduced immigration by more than 50%! Annnnnd, here comes PolitiFact right behind her to give a glowing, all-green TRUE rating.

One thing is not given: the common trademark use of “needs more context” or “certain details are missing” as is so often used to distort a conservative’s statement of fact to HALF TRUE, or lower. So let’s join in the practice!

Here we see no mention of how this “accurate” number is achieved, compared to the alarming number of border encounters this administration has allowed into the country. Last year there were record numbers of these arrivals, so yes – if you start at those unacceptable levels, today it is “lower”:

In September, the last month with available data and the end of fiscal year 2024, there were about 54,000 encounters. That’s a drop of 78%, or more than half, according to data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
