Newsweek is not even bothering to disguise much their left-of-Castro politics and barely dusts a layer of “accuracy” to cover for they cheerleading of the Democrats.
Ms. Owens was “captured” on a recording praising Hitler according to the Left, only to be revealed that it was an edited version of what she had said with a question removed. She was not happy when Senator Lieu (the same one with a donor who appears to be some sort of serial killer) played the recording and then did not bother to give her a chance to respond. It took Senator Reschenthaler to give her a chance and then, fireworks! So in a very roundabout way, Ms. Owens defended herself from the “Hitler comments” question and the President was right on congratulate her, but that was not what the headline tried to convey: “Trump defends Hitler Groupie”
The erosion of trusts in the Media was brought up by themselves when they could not understand they no longer controlled the access of information to the public. Yes, they are loud and yes, they have reach, but amazingly they get to die in the medium to short run because other sources can be accessed and the “news” they published fully examined and criticized if untrue.
I don’t feel bad that newspapers are collapsing and journalists can be found slinging coffee at your local shop. I do not feel bad for the eternally money-losing news divisions of TV networks that have to depend on the ratings of a Sit-Com to have a budget. I believe both will disappear within 20 years if changes are not made, changes that are not complicated but hard to implement and begin with one simple idea: Respect your consumers.
Black folks, please take note: this is how Democrat politicians see you. Toe the line= “Good (pejoritive)” . Think your own thoughts= “HITLER! ”
It’s Godwin’s Law, in Meatspace. On
And, where is “intersectionality” (whatever the F THAT is!), When we want/need it?
Remember back when if you lied you “died”. Now you get a nobel peace prize. Fuk em. I dont think it will take 20 years at the rate they lie and smear.
Point of correction: “Donald Trump Jr.” is not the President of the United States. The President did not praise Ms. Owens’ defense of her comment, deliberately taken out of context by Rep. Lieu. His son did.
Now that that’s out the way, Ms. Owens handled herself well in that hearing, and gave the Democrats a proper chewing out. Up until Rep. Reschenthaler (another point of correction: he’s a Representative, not a Senator) gave her a chance to respond, the hearing was reminiscent of the 2016 GOP primary debates, hosted by Leftist media.
Question after question was various iterations of, “Candidate Trump said [x]. How do you respond to that?”, with almost no questions directed to Trump himself. Two-Minutes’ Hate after Two-Minutes’ Hate, for two and a half hours. (IIRC, Trump was only asked three or four questions directly. Almost everything else was an anti-Trump dog-pile.)
Leftists playing or quoting out-of-context or selectively-edited comments and asking everyone else for reaction, but not giving the person a chance to respond themselves, is not a new smear tactic.
“Rep. Rashida Tlaib, meanwhile, told MSNBC that Omar’s words were taken out of context. “They do that all the time, especially women of color, they take our words out of context because they’re afraid because we speak truth, we speak truth to power,” Tlaib said.”
Yet none of them came to support Owens. It’s only racism when ‘they’ do it.
