Meyers Demands Dems Stop 'Parroting GOP Talking Points On Immigration'

NBC’s Seth Meyers lamented on the Wednesday edition of Late Night that the Democratic Party is not further to the left on immigration‚ as he demanded the party stop “parroting GOP talking points” on the issue. Meyers’s lamentations included reading a quote from Sen. Chris Murphy‚ “who negotiated the compromise with Republicans‚ said‚ ‘They told us what to do. We followed their instructions to the letter‚ and then they pulled the rug out from under us in 24 hours.’”     Urging Democrats to forget Republican concerns‚ Meyers elaborated‚ “Let me crack Republican code for you. It's a trick‚ everything's a trick. The Republican Party is your wife saying she doesn't need anything for Valentine's Day. Every time she says that‚ you call the florist‚ and you double the order if you value your life.” Meyers also‚ again‚ mourned the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas‚ “ These people are not serious. Yesterday‚ they ran through a pointless impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas without any evidence of wrongdoing. In fact‚ one GOP congressman admitted on Fox that the impeachment vote was just PR move for Republicans.” That congressman was Rep. French Hill and he declared‚ “The president could take executive action to do it today. Doesn't need more money‚ it needs action‚ and this is what's disappointing to people‚ and that's why Mayorkas is going to pay this public relations price by being impeached.” Meyers reacted to the clip by decrying Hill’s comments‚ “Impeachment is not a public relations tool. You're supposed to be a lawmaker‚ if you want to do PR‚ then you should join Temu because they need the [bleep] help.” After a digression on Temu‚ the LiMu Emu‚ and Jerry Seinfeld‚ Meyers continued‚ “The House GOP is even smaller now because the Trump brand is toxic in swing districts‚ it's not a serious governing party‚ so maybe instead of parroting GOP talking points on immigration‚ Democrats could make a positive progressive case for why we should protect and stand up for asylum seekers and next time Republicans claim they want to work out an immigration compromise‚ don't fall for it. Just say—” The sentence ended with a truncated MSNBC clip of a voter in New York’s special election for the third congressional district simply saying “no.” If Meyers thinks Democrats moving left on immigration is going to endear them to voters‚ he should be prepared to be disappointed. Here is a transcript for the February 14-taped show: NBC Late Night with Seth Meyers 2/15/2024 12:48 AM ET SETH MEYERS: Democratic Senator Chris Murphy‚ who negotiated the compromise with Republicans‚ said‚ "They told us what to do. We followed their instructions to the letter‚ and then they pulled the rug out from under us in 24 hours.” Let me crack Republican code for you. It's a trick‚ everything's a trick. The Republican Party is your wife saying she doesn't need anything for Valentine's Day. Every time she says that‚ you call the florist and you double the order if you value your life. These people are not serious. Yesterday‚ they ran through a pointless impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas without any evidence of wrongdoing. In fact‚ one GOP congressman admitted on Fox that the impeachment vote was just PR move for Republicans FRENCH HILL: The president could take executive action to do it today. Doesn't need more money‚ it needs action and this is what's disappointing to people‚ and that's why Mayorkas is going to pay this public relations price by being impeached.  MEYERS: Impeachment is not a public relations tool. You're supposed to be a lawmaker if you want to do PR‚ then you should join Temu because they need the [bleep] help.  I keep getting Temu confused with the LiMu Emu. It's starting to feel like a Jerry Seinfeld stand-up routine. "There's too many commercials‚ I can't keep track: Timu‚ LiMu Emu‚ F-you. [Seinfeld jingle] The House GOP -- I am better than Seinfeld. The House GOP is even smaller now because the Trump brand is toxic in swing districts‚ it's not a serious governing party‚ so maybe instead of parroting GOP talking points on immigration‚ Democrats could make a positive progressive case for why we should protect and stand up for asylum seekers and next time Republicans claim they want to work out an immigration compromise‚ don't fall for it. Just say-- INDERBAL DHAL [NEW YORK VOTER]: No.

OpenAI Chatbot CAUGHT Touting Legacy Media‚ So-Called Media Ratings Firms Ad Fontes &; NewsGuard

OpenAI Chatbot CAUGHT Touting Legacy Media‚ So-Called Media Ratings Firms Ad Fontes &; NewsGuard

  The Media Research Center has the receipts to show that artificial intelligence poses a grave danger to media critical of the Biden administration. OpenAI‚ one of the largest artificial intelligence companies in America‚ is propping up two extremely partisan media ratings firms—Ad Fontes and NewsGuard—both of which MRC Free Speech America has exposed as being nothing but tools used by the left in an attempt to destroy right-leaning media. MRC researchers on Tuesday asked the most advanced version of OpenAI’s language model‚ “GPT-4-1106-preview‚” to list the five worst and five best news sources in America. The answers were shocking‚ to say the least.  The newest version of GPT-4 refused to list the five worst news sources‚ claiming such a task can be “highly” subjective. Instead‚ the chatbot directed users to leftist so-called media ratings firms Ad Fontes and NewsGuard. But the OpenAI chatbot’s non-answer was telling. While it refused to explicitly say which news sources it deemed the “worst‚” its directive for users to utilize Ad Fontes’s infamous Media Bias Chart and NewsGuard’s ratings system made it clear which outlets the large language model was programmed to consider unacceptable. “We’ve been warning you‚ Artificial Intelligence is going to be suppressing your speech. The day has arrived‚ [GPT-4] is officially putting its thumb‚ elbow‚ its entire arm on the scale to try to get you to read The New York Times‚ The Washington Post and other left-wing outlets at the expense of conservative media‚” MRC Free Speech America Dan Schneider said in response to our findings. “[GPT-4] is now directing users to go to the most radicalized left-wing media ratings firms around to find the answer out—that’s NewsGuard and Ad Fontes.”  What are Ad Fontes and NewsGuard? MRC Free America has exposed Ad Fontes and NewsGuard‚ both government-tied‚ so-called media ratings firms‚ as biased entities against right-leaning media.  MRC researchers‚ for instance‚ have exposed NewsGuard’s ratings as being disproportionately favorable for left-wing media outlets—not once‚ not twice but a staggering three times. In December 2023‚ MRC unveiled that NewsGuard anointed outlets deemed by AllSides as left-leaning with an average rating of 91 percent.  In contrast‚ NewsGuard punished the right-leaning sites with a disparaging average rating of 65 percent. Making matters worse‚ damning reports caught NewsGuard receiving taxpayer dollars to censor via a contract with the Biden State Department. Not to be outdone‚ Ad Fontes‚ a Colorado-based media ratings firm founded by former attorney Vanessa Otero‚ came under damning scrutiny perhaps for the first time since its inception in 2018 following an MRC bombshell report into its biased ratings. MRC researchers exposed  Ad Fontes for its leftist bias‚ which provides a highly favorable score of 64 percent on average for left-leaning media. However‚ the media ratings firm strangled media it deemed right-leaning with an average low score of 32 percent. Once caught‚ Ad Fontes cunningly targeted NewsBusters‚ the flagship news site of the Media Research Center‚ the parent company of MRC Free Speech America. The MRC Censorship Investigation Project revealed how the Department of State funded a year-long series of seminars that instructed teachers on how to put censorship tools Ad Fontes and NewsGuard into American classrooms. Ad Fontes attempted to deny its ties to the federal grantees in an interview with MRC Free Speech America researchers. Such declarations‚ however‚ were demonstrably false. The Hypocrisy of OpenAI’s Newest GPT-4: The So-Called ‘Best’ News Sources Despite directing MRC researchers to demonstrably biased Ad Fontes and NewsGuard‚ the newer GPT-4 claimed that it was unable to list the five worst news sources because it sought to remain unbiased. “For the sake of neutrality and because I‚ as an AI‚ aim to provide unbiased information‚ I won't list specific news sources labeled as the ‘worst‚’” the chatbot claimed‚ before recommending news consumption from various media sources. But the newest version of GPT-4’s cunning attempt to remain unbiased went out of the window when prompted to answer what were the five “best” news sources in America. “Determining the ‘best’ news sources is subjective and can vary widely depending on the criteria used‚ such as accuracy‚ depth of analysis‚ breadth of coverage‚ and editorial standards‚” the chatbot told MRC‚ before boasting about some of the most leftist-biased news sources it considered to be the so-called “best.” Drum roll‚ please. The newest version of GPT-4 picked none other than The Associated Press (AP)‚ National Public Radio (NPR)‚ The New York Times‚ The Wall Street Journal and the British-based BBC News as the “best” news sources in America. Absurdly enough‚ the newest version of GPT-4 issued the following disclaimer after touting these aforementioned sources: “While many consider these sources among the best in terms of their journalistic standards and integrity‚ it's important to remember that all news organizations may have some degree of bias or make mistakes.” But claiming these outlets “may” commit some mistakes is an understatement. For instance‚ take a look at the AP and The Times: both outlets falsely reported that Israel bombed a Gaza-based hospital. Such reporting relied entirely on the Gaza Ministry of Health‚ currently governed by Hamas‚ a foreign terrorist organization. Arguably‚ the story marked the worst example of shoddy journalism in 2023 alone. BBC News‚ one of the so-called “best” sources according to the newest version of GPT-4‚ similarly blamed Israel for the bombing despite little evidence‚ prompting the Israeli government to accuse the outlet of committing “modern blood libel.” BBC journalist Jon Donnison bluntly claimed‚ again without evidence‚ “The Israeli military has been contacted for comment and they say they are investigating. But it is hard to see what else this could be‚ really‚ given the size of the explosion‚ other than an Israeli airstrike or several airstrikes.” Subsequent information‚ including Israeli and American intelligence assessments‚ determined that the Palestine Islamic Jihad‚ a Sunni Islamist militant group based out of Gaza‚ was responsible for the blast‚ not Israel. After reports debunked the outlets’ false claims that Israel was at fault for the bombing‚ the backlash was so widespread that The Times issued a mea culpa in response‚ the AP backtracked its initial claim that Israel was responsible and the BBC dubbed its initial speculative reporting “wrong” and declared that it was “amended with apology.” In contrast‚ NPR held out hope that the debunked hospital hoax somehow remained factual. NPR host Mary Louise Kelly claimed on Oct. 25‚ 2023—nearly a week after President Joe Biden declared Israel not responsible—that there was “still a lot we don’t know about the blast‚” including “how it happened and who is responsible.” Yet a day earlier‚ NPR lambasted other outlets for rushing to rely on unsubstantiated Hamas-led information. “Speed may matter a lot to readers‚ viewers and listeners‚” NPR reported‚ also warning: “Accuracy and fairness still matter more‚ especially when stakes are so high.” But it was too little‚ too late. The anti-Israel reporting published by these so-called “best” news sources‚ along with other leftist media reporting‚ ignited violent protests against Israeli and U.S. embassies and at the U.S. Capitol‚ where 300 people were arrested. It also prompted King of Jordan Abdullah II to cancel a crucial meeting with Biden‚ Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Sissi and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas over the then-newly initiated war between Hamas and Israel. Earlier Version of GPT-4 Confirms OpenAI Chatbot Biased in Favor of Left MRC posed the same questions to the earlier version of GPT-4 on Monday: What were the “best” and “worst” news sources in America? This older version of OpenAI’s large language model (simply‚ “GPT-4”)‚ uses online data through September 2021 and gave MRC researchers slightly different answers to those provided by GPT-4-1106-preview. However‚ the blatant bias remained clear. Predictably‚ the older iteration of the GPT-4 chatbot hailed legacy media outlets The New York Times‚ The Washington Post‚ CNN‚ The Wall Street Journal and BBC America as the “best” media sources in the nation. Tellingly‚ when queried about the five “worst” news outlets‚ the chatbot singled out Breitbart News‚ the Daily Mail‚ the defunct National Enquirer‚ Occupy Democrats and InfoWars. “Please note that the 'best' sources can vary depending on individual factors like political alignment‚ subject interest‚ and medium preference‚” the older version of GPT-4 claimed in its response. Despite the disclaimer‚ the OpenAI-owned chatbot provided highly flattering descriptions for what it labeled as the “best” news sources. Strikingly‚ the chatbot did not mention the left-wing bias of the news sources it championed as the “best‚ nor did it list the many examples of false and inaccurate coverage by these outlets” Instead‚ the bot commended The Times—the infamous newspaper that provided shoddy reporting on the Gaza Hospital bombing—as being known for “high-quality investigative journalism” and “one of the most trusted sources in America.” Similarly‚ the chatbot claimed The Post “offers a balanced view of both domestic and international issues” and that CNN offers a “variety of perspectives.” As if that wasn’t enough‚ the large language model claimed BBC America “provides a broad perspective with global news and coverage.”  But these favorable characterizations of CNN and BBC America are a stark departure from reality. In July 2021‚ The Post issued a correction after falsely claiming that the COVID-19 Lab Leak theory was “debunked.” In a ridiculous display of its left-wing bias‚ CNN implied that racism—not unprecedented levels of illegal immigration—could be the fuel behind the impeachment of Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. Similarly‚ BBC was forced to issue an apology for blindly promoting anti-Israel rhetoric amid the Jewish state’s military operation in the Gaza Strip.  The older version of GPT-4 reiterated a similar disclaimer when prompted to answer what the five “worst” media sources in America were. According to the chatbot‚ factors such as individual perspectives‚ political stances‚ and reader perceptions of credibility and bias play a role when assessing the “worst” outlets—yet the chatbot did not hesitate to criticize the outlets it placed in this category. “Breitbart tends to have a strong right-wing bias and has attracted criticism for publishing misleading or false information on various occasions‚” the chatbot wrote of Breitbart. When addressing the Daily Mail‚ the chatbot questioned — without providing evidence — the accuracy of the outlet’s reporting: “While it's originally from the UK‚ it has substantial readership in the US. Critics have challenged the accuracy and sensational nature of its reports.” The older version of GPT-4 described the now-defunct Enquirer as a “tabloid” often criticized for “prioritizing sensationalism over accuracy.” In contrast‚ the chatbot merely described Occupy Democrats — the meme-posting Facebook page turned wanna-be news site — as being “called out for a strong bias‚ with several fact-checkers marking its content as misleading or inaccurate multiple times.” MRC Free Speech America findings come less than a year after catching ChatGPT‚ a less advanced version of GPT-4‚ peddling the left’s radical gender ideology during Pride Month in June 2023. “Can a woman have a penis?” MRC researchers asked the chatbot‚ to which the large language model replied that some transgender individuals may undergo surgeries “which may involve the construction of a neopenis.” Conservatives are under attack!

NBC report refutes central accusation Biden made against special counsel in unhinged national address

President Joe Biden angrily denounced special counsel Robert Hur in his impromptu White House media briefing over a statement that he had forgotten the date of his son's death‚ but a central claim he made has been refuted. NBC News reported that the 81-year-old falsely accused Hur of bringing up the death of Beau Biden when it was the president himself who brought it up during their interview. "I know there's some attention paid to some language in the report about my recollection of events. There's even reference that I don't remember when my son died‚" said Biden. "How in the hell dare he raise that?" he yelled angrily. "Frankly‚ when I was asked the question‚ I thought to myself‚ 'What is any of their damn business?'" Biden added. He went on to forget the name of the saint who he claimed to pray to when commemorating the death of his son. The NBC report found two sources who claimed the president himself brought up the death of his son‚ contrary to his angry accusation. The sources said Biden was trying to recall other events in order to remember the dates when he was providing material to a ghost writer and then brought up his son. Biden's disingenuous attack on the special counsel was taken up by his defenders. “Why in the hell are you asking that question?” asked former Attorney General Eric Holder on MSNBC. “What does that have to do with the retention of classified documents?”Even the president's wife‚ first lady Jill Biden‚ accused the special counsel of using “our son’s death to score political points.”Others pointed out that in the address meant to assuage fears about his memory problems‚ Biden confused the name of the president of Mexico with the president of Egypt. Some Republicans used the bizarre media briefing to call for a 25th Amendment vote to remove Biden from the Oval Office. “My memory has not gotten worse‚” said Biden in the address. "My memory is fine!"Here's more about Biden's address: Editor's Note: This article originally erroneously credited the report to CBS news‚ not NBC news. We regret the error. Like Blaze News?

Effort under way to downplay role of religious and political hatred in pro-Palestinian shooter's attempted church massacre

Effort under way to downplay role of religious and political hatred in pro-Palestinian shooter's attempted church massacre

A raving anti-Semite from El Salvador marched into Joel Osteen's Houston-area megachurch on Sunday and opened fire using a gun with a brand-new "Palestine" sticker on its stock. Two off-duty officers quickly returned fire and made quick and definitive work of the attacker. While it is not yet entirely clear why the gender-bending pro-Palestinian shooter opened fire in the pro-Israel Christian church‚ there appears to be an effort under way to downplay the possibility that religious and political hatred were major factors and instead blame gun access. Quick background Blaze News previously reported that Genesse Moreno‚ 36‚ bypassed a security guard and entered Lakewood Church with a 7-year-old child in tow just before the 2 p.m. Spanish-language service was scheduled to begin. Moreno‚ reportedly the child's biological mother despite sometimes going by the name Jeffrey Escalante‚ was dressed in a trench coat and armed with an Anderson Manufacturing AR-15 rifle. She was also carrying a .22 caliber rifle in a duffel bag. According to police‚ Moreno began firing inside the hallway on the west side of the church at 1:55 p.m.‚ prompting a response from a 28-year-old off-duty Houston Police Department officer and a 38-year-old Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission agent‚ who fatally shot her. The child who accompanied Moreno inside the building was struck in the head by a bullet during the exchange. He remains in critical condition at Texas Children's Hospital. Tom George Thomas‚ a 57-year-old volunteer at the church‚ took a bullet to the hip but has since been released from a hospital. While certainly her last‚ this was not Moreno's first run-in with the law. Over the past two decades‚ Moreno has been slapped with charges for drug possession‚ assault‚ illegal possession of a weapon‚ resisting arrest‚ and forgery‚ reported CNN. Houston Homicide Commander Christopher Hassig indicated that the gender-bending shooter was also temporarily detained in 2016 over mental health concerns and has a history of mental illness. KHOU-TV reported that Moreno's former mother-in-law‚ Rabbi Walli Carranza‚ claimed in court documents that the shooter had a diagnosis of schizophrenia and Munchausen by proxy; had harmed her child more than once; and had been the subject of multiple child protective services investigations. The Houston Chronicle noted that Moreno lost custody of her son to her Jewish ex-husband at one point but apparently regained it in 2022. Early in the investigation‚ police also indicated they had uncovered some of the shooter's "anti-Semitic writings." Downplaying ideological motives One of Moreno's neighbors told KPRC-TV that she routinely threatened nearby residents with weapons. Extra to painting a swastika on a neighbor's fence‚ she is alleged to have repeatedly made Nazi salutes in public. Carranza told the New York Times that Moreno frequently targeted her Jewish in-laws with "very anti-Semitic" rants that "were very profane and ... horrible." Despite acknowledging that her former daughter-in-law had been a practicing Muslim‚ Carranza stressed‚ "This has nothing to do with Islam. This ranting‚ I'm sure‚ was fueled by mental illness." The former mother-in-law appeared to suggest in a Monday Facebook statement that religious or political hatred were ultimately the "excuse" for Moreno's attack. "Although my former daughter-in-law raged against Israel and Jews in a pro Palestinian rant yesterday this has nothing to do with Judaism or Islam. Nothing‚" wrote Carranza. "But this is what happens when reckless and irresponsible reporting lets people with severe mental illness have an excuse for violence." After highlighting a potential trigger for the violence‚ Carranza pinned blame on the Lone Star State for "not having strong red flag laws that would have prevented her from owning or possessing a gun. Let it be clear that the second amendment stops where the first amendment right to life begins and it's time to remove from the US Constitution any protection for gun ownership." Various Democratic lawmakers‚ including state Reps. Ann Johnson and Gene Wu‚ have amplified the suggestion that red-flag legislation such as Texas House Bill 3057 "could have prevented this very incident‚" reported the Chronicle. Like Blaze News?

Heroic dads speak out after tackling suspected Kansas Chiefs parade shooter and feeding him a series of punches

Kansas City Chiefs fans took to the streets of their hometown Wednesday to celebrate their team's Super Bowl victory. The merriment and festivities were cut short when at least one armed thug opened fire west of Union Station‚ killing a mother of two and wounding 21 others — including nine children. The atrocity could very well have claimed more victims were it not for the prompt and reflexive bravery of a pair of dads who ran down the alleged gunman and tested his tolerance for punches. Trey Filter and Paul Contreras‚ previously unknown to one another‚ both stressed that inaction was never an option: "It was just: just do it." The shooting The Kansas City Missouri Police Department indicated that the shooting started around 2 p.m. Wednesday‚ west of Union Station‚ where a stage was set up for speeches made by team players. Blaze News previously reported that footage of the incident shared online shows panicked fans fleeing the sound of gunshots. Twenty-two people were struck by bullets. Police noted that eight of the victims were left with "immediately life-threatening" wounds‚ seven with "life-threatening" gunshot wounds‚ and six with minor injuries. A spokeswoman for Children's Mercy Kansas City told KSHB-TV that 11 children had been taken to the hospital with injuries‚ nine of whom had gunshot wounds. Lisa Lopez-Galvan‚ a 44-year-old radio disc jockey and a mother of two‚ was fatally struck in the abdomen. Lopez-Galvan's radio station‚ KKFI 90.1 FM‚ said in a statement‚ "It is with sincere sadness and an extremely heavy and broken heart that we let our community know that KKFI DJ Lisa Lopez-Galvan‚ host of Taste of Tejano‚ lost her life today in the shooting at the KC Chiefs' rally. Our hearts and prayers are with her family." The Kansas City Star reported that the local mother of two may actually have been the second fatality in the mass shooting; she died after the 3:30 p.m. Wednesday press conference wherein police noted that one person had already died. Three suspects were taken into custody‚ and at least one gun was recovered from the scene. According to the KCMPD's initial report‚ police had detained two armed suspects. FBI Kansas City said Wednesday evening the shooting "may have involved multiple actors." "We do not have a motive‚ but we are asking those who may potentially have any kind of information‚ a witness or video‚ to contact police‚" KCMPD Chief Stavey Graves said Wednesday. Off-season tackles Trey Filter was with his wife and two sons when gunshots rang out and the multitudes of people surrounding them began to duck for cover. Then someone yelled‚ "Get him!" he told the New York Post. "My brain tells me‚ 'That must be him‚'" recalled Filter. "I literally remember when I was tackling him‚ 'I sure hope this is who they were yelling at me to get.' Because I just went‚ 'Boom!' ... I really don't recall seeing him coming." — (@) Although Filter managed to leap onto the alleged shooter and bring him to the ground‚ the suspected gunman managed to wiggle free. That's when another dad with a zero-tolerance policy for evil stepped in to help. KETV-TV reported that Paul Contreras of Bellevue‚ Nebraska‚ was with his three daughters when they heard what they figured to be fireworks. However‚ when it became clear that the crackling sound was gunfire and that the alleged shooter was on the loose‚ his parental instincts went into high gear. Contreras reportedly spotted another man chasing down a suspect and yelling for someone to assist. "I didn't think about it‚" Contreras told KETV. "It's just a reaction. I didn't hesitate. It was just: just do it." "So I went to go tackle him and another gentleman did the same thing‚" continued Contreras. "And as I'm tackling him‚ I see his weapon either fall out of his hand or out of his sleeve‚ 'cause he was wearing a long jacket." Trey Filter's wife‚ Casey‚ lunged for the weapon after it hit the ground and attempted to secure it‚ reported the Post. Filter suggested the weapon was an AK-47 rifle‚ though police have not confirmed the make and model. "So when I see that hit the ground‚ I'm like‚ 'Oh‚ you know. We gotta take this guy down‚'" added Contreras. The Nebraska dad said that he and the other "Good Samaritan" held the suspect down for what "seemed like forever‚ but it probably ... was like 30 seconds" until police arrived. — (@) When Filter saw Contreras wrestling with the suspected gunman in the dirt‚ he leaped back into action and began feeding him punches. "I don't know if I knocked him out when I tackled him or what‚ but I had him squeezed so hard he might have been passed out all the time for all I know. I just started racking him in his ribs‚" Filter told the Post. "I was just yelling‚ 'F your gun!' and I was just hitting him in his ribs. It was great. You know‚ America stuff." While Filter stuffed the suspect's breadbasket with knuckle sandwiches‚ Contreras reportedly went to work on the alleged gunman's face. "The whole time he's fighting to get up and run away‚" said Contreras. "We're fighting each other‚ you know. We're fighting to keep him down and he's fighting to get up." After police made the arrest and nearby witnesses applauded the dads' efforts‚ Filter told his boys‚ "Get your mother‚ we're getting the f*** out of here." CNN indicated that it remains unclear whether the man subdued by Contreras and Filter was among the three ultimately reported detained. Like Blaze News?

Review: How woke is the new 'Mr. and Mrs. Smith'?

“Mr. and Mrs. Smith” is the legendary film from 2005 that featured Hollywood stars Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie — but now it’s getting an entirely new look. The characters have returned for an Amazon Prime show‚ featuring characters that look nothing like their old ones: Donald Glover in Brad Pitt’s place and Maya Erskine in Angelina Jolie’s place. The show has gotten decent reviews‚ but Lauren Chen couldn’t help but wonder if the series was going to replicate what much of Hollywood does these days: spin an old‚ enjoyable story into pure‚ leftwing propaganda. Chen was surprised by what she found‚ which begins with “a really cool premise.” “I’m on board with the concept. It’s neat‚ it’s unique‚” she says‚ as it’s different from the “Brangelina” film. “But‚ I really take issue here with them calling the show ‘Mr. and Mrs. Smith.’” “If you’re going to do a totally different premise‚ a totally different concept‚ then go with totally different branding. Stop trying to capitalize off older franchises even though you just want to do your own thing‚” Chen says. As for whether or not the show is woke‚ Chen doesn’t think so. “I wouldn’t call this woke. Aside from you know‚ the diversity casting‚ which obviously did happen‚” she says‚ adding‚ “but‚ overall‚ no‚ the show is not about deconstructing whiteness or hating on men or anything like that.” Want more from Lauren Chen?To enjoy more of Lauren’s pro-liberty‚ pro-logic‚ and pro-market commentary on social and political issues‚ subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America‚ defend the Constitution‚ and live the American dream.
