I keep hoping to see a realignment and move back toward ethics and integrity in journalism. Media plays a pivotal role in our society and they must forge a path back toward some version of impartiality and objectivity. People are tuning out and that is terrible for everyone in a country.

You know it is bad when CNN just decides to concoct its own narrative regardless of what the facts actually are.

Such a blatant obvious lie. No one with any amount of journalistic integrity would do this.  Go to 3:40 to see the discussion on the barefaced dishonesty featured on CNN.

Just look at the ‘evolution’ of how this news article is frame. Let’s start with the original.

Hmm, does that seem like an objective analysis and portrayal of what was said? Community notes on X got a hold of the hatchet job and suddenly the original tweet was deleted and replaced with this:

Well, doesn’t that headline evoke a different reaction.

Here is the original quote:

Hmmm.   Now think for yourself and try and think of way to make an honest headline – then think of a way to make the headline reflect negatively on a candidate whose politics you happen to dislike.

I’m questioning what is being taught in the ethics of journalism classes because the original example seems pretty much as far away from objective, unbiased reporting one can get.

 

Oh hey, the icing on the cake:

Legacy media really needs to find a way back to honest reporting.

We need a media we can put more trust in.  Let’s start with this.

 

The gap between North American media and media based in the middle east seems to be enormous. The glaring differences in detail and accuracy is of great concern to anyone who values ans accurate picture of what is happening with Israel and its opponents. If you have time, listen to the full podcast, it is well worth it.

How Israel is thinking about Kamala vs. Trump:

“BW: How is Israel looking at the present state of American politics? Who does it want to win the election?

HRG: It’s an election. It’s not about Israel, and it’s not about Gaza. You want to end the Gaza war? You want to prevent a war in Lebanon? You want to end the terrible civil war in Yemen and bring the forces to the table in Yemen that have starved 85,000 children to death and devastated that country? You want to fix the Middle East? It’s about Iran and it’s only about Iran. And it will only ever be about Iran. And until you solve Iran, nations will continue to be demolished. And America has to do that.

Everything I have seen from Democrats says they cannot, will not, don’t know how. They don’t have a vocabulary of foreign policy that allows them to seriously take up that challenge.

I wish I could say that the Republicans do. Some Republicans do. Will the Republicans in power in a new Trump administration know how to do any of that? I have no idea.

But on Iran, the Democrats have failed.

There are these quotes from Obama from back in 2015 that lifting sanctions will not cause Iran to become a dominant power in the region. If there’s any power in the region that is dominant in any way today, it’s Iran. So Obama’s own predictions about his own policies have proven completely incorrect.

Everybody’s lives in the Middle East depend on ending the Iranian regime’s crusade that has so far conquered and destroyed or is in some state of demolishing four different Arab countries and wants to destroy my country and says so publicly and will not stop until somebody stops it. And if America doesn’t have a policy on that—and Democrats do not—then America is part of the problem.”
