'...I don’t think that’s harmful'

Even at a time when our nation is deeply divided‚ Americans of all political stripes can agree we don’t like political elites trying to tell us what to do. It is fundamentally un-American. But Ranked-Choice Voting (RCV) is exactly that – an attempt by liberal elites to quash the voices of political opponents they consider […]

Internal liberal outrage boiled over into an on-air struggle session on Meet the Press. NBC just hired Ronna McDaniel immediately after she was removed as Republican National Committee leader‚ and so moderator Kristen Welker punched away at McDaniel for 20 minutes‚ and when that was finished‚ they had a roundtable about the horror of NBC's hiring‚ combined with this awkward interview‚ which was scheduled before the personnel move.  Everyone on set seemed blissfully unaware of how it looked to the public when NBC was negotiating with White House press secretary Jen Psaki about a position while she was still at the White House. No one's ever complained in a Sunday morning meltdown. Former host Chuck Todd began the internal decompression with a fulsome apology:  TODD: Look‚ let me deal with the elephant in the room. I think our bosses owe you an apology for putting you in this situation because I don't know what to believe. She is now a paid contributor by NBC News. I have no idea whether any answer she gave to you was because she didn't want to mess up her contract. She wants us to believe that she was speaking for the RNC when the RNC was paying for it. So she has – she has credibility issues that she still has to deal with. Is she speaking for herself or is she speaking on behalf of who's paying her? Once at the RNC she did say that‚"Hey‚ I'm speaking for the party." I get that. That's part of the job. So what about here? I will say this. I think your interview did a good job of exposing I think many of the contradictions. And‚ look‚ there's a reason why there's a lot of journalists at NBC News uncomfortable with this because many of our professional dealings with the RNC over the last six years have been met with gaslighting‚ have been met with character assassination. So it is – ‚ you know‚ that's where you begin here. And so when NBC made the decision to give her NBC News' credibility you've got to ask yourself‚ "What does she bring NBC News?" And when we make deals like this‚ and I've been at this company a long time‚ you're doing it for access‚ access to audience. Todd concluded by again praising Welker's grilling: "I think you did everything you could do. You got put into an impossible situation‚ booking this interview‚ and then all of a sudden the rug's pulled out from under you. You find out she's being paid to show up. That’s – that’s unfortunate for this program‚ but I am glad you did the best that you could‚ and that's why the three of us are on here‚ to try to bolster that editorial independence." They're so deep inside a Democrat bubble they have no idea half of America starts pointing and laughing when they talk about "editorial independence." NBC‚ the network that had Kennedy offspring Maria Shriver as a reporter for years‚ and then hired Chelsea Clinton as a reporter (and she'd never been a reporter).  Kimberly Atkins Stohr seconded Todd's emotion: “So her credibility is completely shot. So I have to do what Maya Angelou said‚ I believe what they do and not anything that she said today. And in that I know that she habitually lied‚ she habitually joined Trump in attacking the press – members of the press‚ including this network‚ in a way that put journalists at risk‚ in danger.” Stephen Hayes of The Dispatch‚ an anti-Trump website‚ began with the obvious point about conservative criticism: "if you've read some of the criticism of NBC that has come since the announcement it is very clear that some of the critics just don't want to be confronted with Republican voices or conservative arguments. So there is that. And that's bad. We should want to have a robust exchange between people who believe different things.” Then Hayes agreed with the anti-Trump feelings: “But I agree with what's been said here. I mean‚ that's not what Ronna McDaniel is doing. That's not what she's been doing. And she has huge credibility problems‚ not because she's been a partisan spinner on behalf of the Republican Party‚ but because she not only presided but directed‚ drove‚ the Q-Anonization of the Republican Party during her tenure.” Hayes failed to put Psaki's hiring on the table. It concluded with Todd bizarrely claiming he always cared about "ideological diversity" on his show. He did?? TODD: Look‚ it is important for this network and for always to have a wide aperture‚ okay‚ and covering voters that have disparate beliefs. Having ideological diversity on this panel is something I prided myself on. We take – you and I both took plenty of grief when you have ideological and political diversity. I think all of us in mainstream media do a terrible job sometimes of geographic diversity and all this stuff. But I sort of call into question and sometimes people think they understand the politics of this country when they're sort of in a very‚ very‚ very blue city. You know‚ this is a Washington operative who I don't think is going to bring the network what they think it wants to bring to the network. I understand the motivation‚ but this execution I think was poor. Then Welker turned to a liberal-bubble interview with former Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer‚ where she wanted to know all about preserving abortion rights and putting Trump in jail. If it's Sunday‚ it's a liberal bubble on Meet the Press. 

President Joe Biden peddled a hoax that former President Donald Trump advised Americans to inject bleach into themselves to combat COVID-19 – a falsehood that has previously been debunked‚ including by left-leaning fact-checkers. Biden was joined last week by former President Barack Obama and former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi during a fundraising event in Houston‚ Texas. Biden said in the heavily filtered campaign video‚ "Just a few days ago‚ [Donald Trump] asked a famous question in one of his rallies: Are you better off today than you were four years ago?" The 81-year-old continued‚ "Well‚ Donald‚ I'm glad you asked that question‚ man. I hope everyone in the country takes a moment to think back what it was like in March of 2020."Biden then resurfaced the falsity that had already been debunked. "Remember when he said inject bleach? I think he must've done it‚" Biden claimed. — (@) Biden was referencing a White House press conference in April 2020.William Bryan – a former senior official at the Department of Homeland Security who performed the duties of the undersecretary for science and technology – presented a non-peer-reviewed study that showed how disinfectants and sunlight could kill COVID on non-porous surfaces. Trump asked Bryan if the disinfectants‚ such as UV light‚ could be utilized internally to fight coronavirus. Trump stated:Thank you very much. So I asked Bill a question that probably some of you are thinking of‚ if you’re totally into that world‚ which I find to be very interesting. So‚ supposing we hit the body with a tremendous — whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light — and I think you said that that hasn’t been checked‚ but you’re going to test it. And then I said‚ supposing you brought the light inside the body‚ which you can do either through the skin or in some other way‚ and I think you said you’re going to test that too. It sounds interesting.Right. And then I see the disinfectant‚ where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that‚ by injection inside or almost a cleaning. Because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. So it would be interesting to check that. So‚ that‚ you’re going to have to use medical doctors with. But it sounds — it sounds interesting to me.So we’ll see. But the whole concept of the light‚ the way it kills it in one minute‚ that’s — that’s pretty powerful.Trump does not mention the word "bleach‚" and doesn't advise Americans to ingest chemical cleaners as a COVID cure. Even left-leaning fact-checkers debunked the bleach hoax. AllSides – a publication that rates the media bias of news outlets – declared that PolitiFact leans left. AllSides proclaimed PolitiFact has a bias that "moderately aligns with liberal‚ progressive‚ or left-wing thought and/or policy agendas."PolitiFact declared in July 2020: "No‚ Trump didn’t tell Americans infected with the coronavirus to drink bleach."When asked about Biden's comments‚ a Trump spokesperson told Newsweek‚ "Crooked Joe Biden continues to show how mentally unfit he is to be president every single day." — (@) Last week‚ the corporate media concocted a hoax by taking a Trump comment out of context to seemingly make it appear as if the former president was calling for political violence if he was to lose the 2024 presidential election. As Blaze News previously reported‚ Trump used the word "bloodbath" in reference to the U.S. auto industry suffering if Biden was re-elected. However‚ the legacy media seemingly purposely misconstrued his words to make it appear he was calling for political violence. Like Blaze News?

A brutal mountain lion attack took the life of a 21-year-old California man‚ and left his younger with "traumatic injuries‚" according to authorities. Two brothers – ages 18 and 21 – were reportedly antler shed hunting in Georgetown‚ California. A mountain lion attacked the pair in the wilderness of the remote area of Northern California on Saturday afternoon. During the vicious mountain lion attack‚ the brothers were separated in the area about 40 miles northeast of Sacramento.The younger brother called 911 at 1:13 p.m. to report the animal attack‚ according to the El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office.Around 1:46 p.m.‚ deputies began searching the area for the brothers. Deputies and paramedics located the older brother and encountered the mountain lion that was crouched next to the 21-year-old California man on the ground‚ according to authorities. Law enforcement officers reportedly fired shots "scaring the mountain lion off so they could render aid" to the man on the ground. Sadly‚ the older brother had succumbed to his injuries from the mountain lion attack and was already dead by the time emergency crews were able to get to the man. The 18-year-old brother suffered “traumatic injuries” to his face and was transported to a local hospital for treatment‚ the El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office stated. Authorities did not reveal the name of the man mauled to death in the animal attack or the younger brother who was injured. Wardens from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and the El Dorado County Trapper were summoned to locate the mountain lion involved in the fatal attack. The mountain lion was located and animal agency agents "dispatched it‚" according to officials. Mountain lion attacks on humans are extremely rare. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has reported 13 mountain lion attacks in the state since 2004. There has only been one fatal mountain lion attack in that time period‚ which happened in 2004. A 35-year-old male was killed by a mountain lion in the Whiting Ranch Regional Park. There have only been three fatal mountain lion attacks on humans in California since 1994‚ according to the agency.Like Blaze News?
