There was much upheaval this past week in the press as they picked and chose what stories they wanted to focus on. They appeared to find relief in anything that might distract them from the Charlie Kirk assassination, so Jimmy Kimmel was an excitable option, and then there was the need to reclassify the evidence of the Dallas ICE facility shooting, and then the melodrama of a government shutdown also reared up.
Then there was the built-in comedy with the outrage over the James Comey indictment. So many are reporting this is an act of retribution, or revenge by President Trump, yet they do not dare address what that revenge would be about.
THE CONTENDERS
ABC News – The network brought back Jimmy Kimmel, launching a week of incessant and pedantic news coverage. On GMA, George Stephanopoulos berated Marco Rubio over USAID cuts that are supposedly starving foreign children. In coverage of the looming government shutdown, David Muir gave Democrats plenty of coverage, yet no Republicans were quoted.
New York Times – In a lengthy editorial, the paper repeated the long-disproven canard that you cannot yell “fire” in a crowded theater. This stunted take is made worse because it came from the editorial board. There was a sympathetic piece on a book author whose appearance was cancelled, as they ignored her virulent anti-Jewish comments, sparking the decision.
CNN – Jake Tapper was on with NBC late-night host Seth Meyers and said he never saw silencing efforts like he's seeing with Trump from a president before; it stands as another story he missed during the Biden years. Kasie Hunt claimed she is not in the practice of making political statements. Stelter thought it was a brilliant take to say that after seven days of full-bore media promotions, Jimmy Kimmel was more popular than a week earlier. CNN noted in a Chyron that Trump was seeking revenge, calling it extraordinary when the use of revenge indicated it had taken place previously.
NBC News – The network instigated outrage with a false claim that ICE agents were using a 5-year-old child as bait to detain the father. On “Meet the Press,” they tried to sell how the actions of the four-time-indicted President Trump are “extraordinary.” The network kept blowing smoke about the motivations of the Dallas ICE sniper.
THE WINNER
MSNBC
More than just disturbing coverage, the soon-to-be-renamed news network earned its recognition with the sheer volume of mentally-impacted offerings.
Kamala Harris was on with Rachel Maddow, and the avowed gay hostess seemed fine with the former vice president explaining why she did not choose a gay running mate.
The neutered Chris Murphy was brought on to decry the Comey indictment, implying that this is all novel activity from the DOJ.
On one panel, they tried to instigate a rebellion inside the DOJ over actions involving a man who has not been there for eight years.
Scar-Joe also called Comey a “martyr.”
Ken Dilanian tried to gaslight by saying Biden had no involvement in the four Trump indictments.
The network’s FBI expert tried to say the ICE sniper writing on bullets matches a white supremacist, from six years ago, in another country; this being the fourth Leftist to do so this year had to be ignored.
Katy Tur brought on Julia Ainsley, who suggested ICE agents are in more danger for wearing masks.
In a desperate dose of drama, the network brought on the public radio hostess Maria Hinojosa of "Latino USA" to declare immigrant youths in Chicago are comparable to Holocaust victim Anne Frank, describing them as “Anita Francos”.
On MSNBC, "Public" radio host Maria Hinojosa compares ICE to the Nazi murderers of Anne Frank. Chicago has little "Anita Francos" that are afraid to come out of their homes.... pic.twitter.com/Y06r49kfo9
