Hypocrisy on Full Display: Same Media That Tore Into Elon Musk Ignore When Mamdani Does Exact Same Thing

This is truly stunning and so sad… A Swiss Ski Resort caught fire and the fire started to spread rapidly. Instead of immediately fleeing for safety, many people stuck around to film it and 40 people perished from the fire. Watch here: The footage of the Swiss ski resort fire is actually terrifying AF. The fact that some people are so desensitized to actual danger, and would rather film it and sing and dance around the fire, rather than leave ASAP or do something about it, though? Sheeeesh. 40 people gone,… pic.twitter.com/CDcKlEkg1i — Phoeni? 2A (@Phoenix2A_1980s) January 2, 2026 Many are blaming this on Social Media and the desire to record and post everything to Instagram: The social media era has erased 200,000 years of evolution. Instead of recognizing the danger and feeling the instinct for survival, they pulled out their phones for the Gram.pic.twitter.com/rJVxXG9SCm — John LeFevre (@JohnLeFevre) January 2, 2026 Different view here: a bar at a swiss ski resort catches fire. rather than run or respond, the patrons stand around dancing under it and filming it for instagram. as a result, 40 people who could have reached safety died because they seem, quite literally, to have forgotten that danger is real. i… pic.twitter.com/RgrYAhDgm1 — el gato malo (@boriquagato) January 2, 2026 Longer video here: With 40 people confirmed dead, this is a massive tragedy and one that seems like it could and should have been very avoidable. But there is one bright light. Listen as this woman describes an absolute miracle: NEW: Woman in the Swiss ski bar fire says she witnessed a miracle, says the flames completely avoided her friend, who sat down with a cross in his hand when he became trapped. “A friend of mine couldn’t get out, and he just sat down and held his cross in his hand.” “The fire… pic.twitter.com/U0rUOBG8tB — Collin Rugg (@CollinRugg) January 2, 2026 English Full Translation: I have a friend of mine, it’s exactly the same. He couldn’t get out and he just sat down and he held his cross in his hand and the fire just dodged him. The fire just didn’t touch him, the fire was just all around him, but not on him. And he survived fortunately, he managed to leave and he broke a window to be able to escape. But for me, if that’s why I’m here tonight, it’s because I just want to thank the Lord for having saved me. And I would also just ask to save my friends who are reported missing because it’s horrible, because I miss them. I don’t want to lose any more people because I’ve already lost people and we’re still looking for some and I don’t want to. Because I’ve already been so afraid, afraid for myself, afraid for my girlfriends, afraid for everyone inside. I have friends in the hospital, I have friends everywhere.

History has proven, repeatedly, that Marxism is a parasitic and devouring beast that pretends to be your friend until it eats you. In theory and practice, Socialism and Communism have never produced prosperity. Because Marxist ideology values redistribution more than productivity and control more than freedom, it always leads to misery and death. Irrational and destructive […] The post Intentional Evil, Oblivious, Sheeple, or Suicidal Empathy? appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

Ahead of Tony Dokoupil's first night anchoring the CBS Evening News on Monday, CBS released a video of Dokoupil making promises to the audience about how he’ll serve them. He’s admitting the networks have a trust problem, acknowledging he has heard people lament coverage of certain stories, such as Russiagate, Hunter Biden's laptop and COVID lockdowns. "The point is that, on too many stories, the press has missed the story," Dokoupil said. "Because we've taken into account the perspective of advocates and not the average American. Or we put too much weight in the analysis of academics or elites and not enough on you." Dokoupil insisted he’s been one of the “average Americans” on this, that the news didn’t reflect his life experience. "On too many stories, the press has missed the story. Because we've taken into account the perspective of advocates and not the average American. Or we put too much weight in the analysis of academics or elites, and not enough on you." That changes now. The new CBS Evening News… pic.twitter.com/NKdvRJjYCS — CBS Evening News (@CBSEveningNews) January 1, 2026 There were some big promises made:  "You come first, not advertisers, not politicians, not corporate interests. And yes, that does include the corporate owners of CBS….I report for you, which means I tell you what I know, when I know it and how I know it. And when I get it wrong, I'll tell you that too. It also means I'm going to talk to everybody and hold everyone in public life to the very same standard. After all, I became a journalist to talk to people. I love talking to people about what works in this country, what doesn't, and not only what should change, but the good ideas that should never change. I think telling the truth is one of them," Dokoupil said. "I'm Tony Dokoupil, the anchor of the CBS Evening News. Hold me to it." It would be unusual for a network anchor to admit they've been inaccurate on anything. It would be even rarer to "hold everyone in public life to the very same standard." The Left cannot abide that. It would mean holding the Democrats as accountable as Trump, and he could start with their Hitler smears.  Professor Larry Sabato took to X to X-emplify the elitist leftist fury at these promises from Team Bari Weiss:  Absolutely! You wouldn't want "academics and elites" who have actually studied a subject to outweigh the off-the-cuff opinions of village idiots. This is how we're seeing the resurgence of measles, and the widespread belief in almost non-existent vote fraud, among many other great leaps backward in the Trump era. Cronkite would be so very proud of you. A rebuttal came from radio host Hugh Hewitt:  Good for Tony Dokoupil. The statement is more than two minutes long but those three sentences totaling 32 words makes for a succinct mission statement as well as a standard on which judgments about his promise can be made going forward. The old saying —trust is gained in ounces and lost in pounds— has applied to legacy media for years now, and the consequence is legacy media’s shattered reputation for truth-telling (much less for candid admissions of error), and the audience numbers show it.... if Tony delivers the actual news —true and objectively told stories built on facts, unbiased in presentation and not delivered in service of an agenda— he can help rebuild the brand of one legacy program, one which could become important again. I believe good folks of the left and the right and those smack in the center have a natural hunger for real “news.” Dokoupol’s pledge is a start. Keeping it is the hard part.

Minnesota officials have less than one week to provide the Trump administration with information about providers and parents who receive federal child care funds or risk losing potentially millions of dollars in federal funding, state officials said Friday.
