Jeffrey Epstein’s haunting of ABC
We no longer have Jeffrey Epstein around due to his highly coincidental and suspicious suicide, or as Hillary calls it, Tuesday house cleaning. We do, though, have the ghost of Epstein materializing at least weekly.
ABC Studios felt his presence most recently.
ABC’s Amy Robach spoke frankly about an unaired story on Epstein that she helped develop. The news piece included connections to Bill Clinton and adventures involving the Lolita Express and Orgy Island.
“It was going to be impactful. Even more so than our seven-part series on Trump’s selfish approach to ice cream scoops”, she recounted when discussing how ABC News killed the story in 2015.
In their defense, ABC stated that
“not all of the reporting met our standards to air. There wasn’t even any video evidence, DNA, polygraph corroboration, confession, or live occurrence at a Super Bowl halftime show.”
ABC also pointed out how busy they were in 2015. “Our priority at the time was a collaborative retrospective with The Weinstein Company on Roman Polansky’s creative genius.”
Following this explanation, Robach appeared to have had a recent head trauma incident. When asked about the 2015 events, she responded: “who’s this Epstein you keep speaking of?”
If it was about standards, one would expect a consistent approach to all ABC reporting. Hence the word “standard.” Say for instance, how they chose to cover the Epstein/Clinton connection compared to Brett Kavanaugh’s coverage during the combined Supreme Court hearings and witch-burning rituals.
A cursory review of ABC’s almost 7000 news items on Kavanaugh, revealed standards as flexible as the personalities of James McAvoy’s “Split” character.
Each accuser’s indictments were thoroughly documented as ABC took the country through five of Dante’s nine levels of purgatory, otherwise known as open hearings.
To give you an idea of how serious they were about standards during those hearings, here’s an actual ABC headline:
Witches to ‘hex’ Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh; exorcists pray in response
In the end, though, that witch hunt did result in the discovery of witches.
Al-Baghdadi is dead and the media aren’t feeling well either
A quick scan of the headlines will tell you everything you need to know about the mainstream media’s reaction to al-Baghdadi’s death. Journalists woke up Sunday morning to a pending major Trump announcement planned for 9:00am. Hopes were high as they began praying for a sudden Trump resignation, or perhaps a recording of Trump singing “You Are My Sunshine” to Putin, or maybe the discovery of a Trump diary written when he was 13.
Unfortunately for our single-minded media elites, the announcement was about the raid and subsequent death of al-Baghdadi. Adam Schiff was inconsolable from within his impeachment bunker, otherwise known as the Schiff Sieve. Nancy Pelosi offered her encouragement by bulging her eyeballs out a couple of additional centimeters and yelling “Fly my pretties! Find that dark lining around this silver cloud!”
With those marching orders, here are a few of the actual headlines that emerged during Sunday afternoon.
From Newsweek:
From CNN:
The 41 most shocking lines from Donald Trump’s Baghdadi announcement
From USA Today:
Donald Trump withheld details of ISIS raid from Nancy Pelosi, other congressional Democrats
From NBC:
The killing of al-Baghdadi is a win Trump needed, but the credit could be fleeting
With the sub-headline:
Analysis: The ISIS leader is hardly a household name, as was Osama bin Laden.
[A quick note to NBC, if you feel the need to qualify who’s a household name and who isn’t, you might be trying too hard.]
From the Washington Post:
The Post proceeded to play with other headlines like an undecided squirrel plays in the street. First they described al-Baghdadi as “Islamic State’s terrorist-in-chief.” This had to be changed because Obama would never use the word “terrorist.” Then al-Baghdadi was an “austere religious scholar.” This, though, made him sound like faculty at Bob Jones University instead of the embodiment of evil. The Post compromised on “extremist leader of the Islamic state.” The squirrel survived but not without injuring its credibility.
The best headline of the day comes from the Daily Wire. “OOPS: ‘Saturday Night Live’ skit has terrorist thanking Trump for ‘Bringing Jobs Back to ISIS’ — just after U.S. forces had killed ISIS leader”
The media may be intentionally biased but the unintentional bonus was seeing Saturday Night Live funny again, although only momentarily.
Apologies please
Comey expecting an apology after his integrity collapse was like John Wilkes Booth expecting Ford’s Theatre to apologize because the balcony was too high. We scoured historical records to come up with the greatest examples of ego-driven apology requests, or at least those as we recalled them:
- Hillary voters and their apology request from the pharmaceutical companies for not finding a cure for the embarrassing itch of TDS.
- Harvey Weinstein’s request for an apology from Hollywood actresses for taking advantage of his connections.
- Never-Trumpers need an apology from the DNC for putting up such a horrible presidential candidate to run against Trump.
- Bill Clinton’s need for an apology from the U.S. House for his impeachment. It was perjury. It’s not like he was weaponizing the government against another candidate.
- Hillary needs an apology from EVERYONE for ruining her presidential coronation. Perhaps someday we’ll write a four part post in tabular form listing each of those who owe her an apology and the reasons why.
- Jeffrey Epstein needs an apology from MADP (Mothers Against Drunk Perverts) for wanting chaperones on the Lolita Express.
- U.S. Rep. Hank Johnson needs an apology from God for building Guam so it could tip over.
- Obama needs an apology from Biden for running for president and helping to ruin BO’s legacy.
Meet the next boogeyman – a recession
A recession may well indeed be looming over the horizon… or maybe it isn’t… or maybe it is… Or maybe whatever story we get from biased politicians and biased media will include deeply embedded exaggeration, hyperbole or down-right lies to the point of making it impossible to determine what’s reality.
One thing to know for certain, politicians like to scare us because there are only two things that scare them:
- Bad news for citizens while a politician is holding office
- Good news for citizens while a politician is trying to get into office
Which means
- bad news is someone else’s good news
- bad news gets the attention
- politicians live on bad news
Ipso facto, expect to be told
“this is the most important election in our lifetime because a vote for the other candidate will lead to (fill in the blank) , all elderly being (fill in the blank) , the wholesale slaughter of (fill in the blank) and The Purge.”
So the next time you hear that all polar bears will soon spontaneously combust or we’re being invaded by axe wielding maniacal border crossers, consider the source.
We have many more personal things to worry about like shirts that constrict at the armpit. Don’t judge, it’s a thing, look it up.
NY Times: All the print bias that fits
Like Nevada’s Chicken Ranch (which doesn’t sell chicken, wink wink), the New York Times is displaying flexibility that should be greatly appreciated by its customers. A recent Times front page headline “Trump Urges Unity vs. Racism” after Trump urged unity versus racism, caused the type of outrage we haven’t seen since Toys ‘R Us stopped selling Che Guevara action figures.
The outcry was so dramatic from several of the Democrat presidential candidates as well as members of Congress and others within the liberal elite that the Times was forced to take action and return to instilling opinion even on the front page, even in front page headlines and even in their motto “All the print bias that fits” or something like that.
Damage control was accomplished with a headline change to “Assailing Hate but not Guns”, distribution of Trump voodoo dolls during the annual elephant dismemberment ritual and sacrificing a Times intern. These noble actions, however, were met with some skepticism, but all is, apparently, forgiven. Their front row table at the annual White House Correspondence Dinner remains secure, for now.
