CNN Publishes Single-Source Claim on Russia Investigation, Then Disappears It, Then Finally Retracts;
Forbids Reporters From Running Any Russia Story Without Permission, Promises "Discipline"
Before getting to that, Camille Paglia said last week that the Democrat Party had broken journalism, and that it would take "decades" to heal the wounds.
It would take decades to recover if they ever self-critiqued and self-corrected, which they're psychologically incapable of doing."It's obscene," she said. "It's outrageous, OK? It shows that the Democrats are nothing now but words and fantasy and hallucination and Hollywood. There’s no journalism left. What’s happened to The New York Times? What's happened to the major networks? It's an outrage." "I'm a professor of media studies, in addition to a professor of humanities, OK?" she continued. "And I think it's absolutely grotesque the way my party has destroyed journalism. Right now, it is going to take decades to recover from this atrocity that's going on where the news media have turned themselves over to the most childish fraternity, kind of buffoonish behavior.”Now on to the newest CNN #FakeNews: CNN reported, on the basis of a single anonymous source, that a Trump associate did business with Russia, and that he's now the target of a criminal probe. They then retracted. First, they seem to have done so without acknowledging the retraction, just deleting all mentions of the story in their Twitter fed and nuking links to it. But after Buzzfeed asked where the story went to, they issued a note stating it had been retracted, and failed to even meet CNN's Like Whatever Man exacting editorial standards for Russia reporting. If you can imagine such a thing.
CNN claimed Senate investigators are looking into whether or not Scaramucci discussed lifting sanctions with Kirill Dmitriev, the chief executive of the $10-billion Russian Direct Investment Fund, in a meeting just four days before President Donald Trump’s inauguration. “CNN.com published a story connecting Anthony Scaramucci with investigations into the Russian Direct Investment Fund,” CNN said in its editor’s note, “That story did not meet CNN’s editorial standards and has been retracted. Links to the story have been disabled. CNN apologizes to Mr. Scaramucci.”Given that CNN is actually apologizing, and nuking the story from orbit, I have to guess that this story didn't just fail to meet their "editorial standards," whatever those might turn out to be when discovered, but was objectively and perhaps actionably false. CNN is now forcing reporters to pre-clear all "Russia-related" stories by high ranking editors before publishing anywhere -- including social media -- and promising "discipline" over this error:
Over the weekend, CNN's executives busied themselves with a new process for reporting on Russia, Buzzfeed later learned. According to an internal memo, all reporting from CNN on that topic will have to get specific approval from executives before appearing on any of their platforms. Jon Passantino's source says that disciplinary action will also be forthcoming over last week’s debacle...When a report is so fake that even CNN is panicking over it-- well, that's CNN showing us what it really is. A hotbed of conspiracy theorists and vulgar partisans.

Well think about it. 8 years ago is a lifetime to a young reporter. That's before they even started college. Their whole professional life, that's how you do the job: The White House writes up a nice piece for you or tells you how to interpret things, and you go write what you're given.
There are people whose entire career as a journalist consist of this exact system. I suspect its been going on even longer than that, going back at least to 2006. The party writes the press release, the New York Times puts out their version, and everyone follows suit.

Of course they're screaming mad. They see the Trump administration agenda gaining traction, R's winning special elections, and the Russia story not only falling apart but boomeranging on them.
The only thing they have left is to embarrass Spicer/Trump and the daily briefing by asking loaded partisan cheap shot questions to make them look bad.
Trump said "screw that, nix the video press conference", playing asymmetrical warfare with the MSM.
To listen them protest that they can't possibly ask a question unless it's on TV and recorded is laughable and the only proof one needs to show how corrupt the press has become.

the briefing. FBN had the audio.
Yes, because they made sport of it, trying to see who could "burn" Spicer the most. And like good lil' propagandists, SNL started making skits about it.
Not having these televised returns returns some of the seriousness to it, which Acosta apparently doesn't want.

When the story first came out I saw people alerting the guy to it and his response was not worried about it at all it's a lie and CNN is about to discover they libeled me.
Given that this was retracted at like 11:50 p.m. on a Friday night (I'm not really exaggerating about that) and that CNN is flatly refusing to discuss how the story was published and how and why it was retracted and is slamming down hard on the rest of the Russia Russia Russia stuff, methinks that the final terms of the settlement agreement, particularly the number of zeroes, are still being worked out.
Oh how I heart Paglia. I mean, she's crazy, which is what I love about her, but she's just an old Italian broad whose field was barren yonks ago.
I really really really want her to write the book about the various stone structures around Southeastern PA she's been investigating and believes are Native American monuments and geoglyphs. Sure, she's nigh to 100% overreading her evidence but it will be interesting indeed.

Half the journalists are imbecilic hacks, and get most of their stories by rewriting the press releases that cross their desk. If they ever had an original story, they would not know what to do with it.
How many stories do you see from known BS sources like the "Center for Science in the Public Interest?" The hacks monger scare stories about how coconut oil will kill millions. They are mocked, refuted, but still get national stories from their own press releases.

I will admit that when CNN first started, it was so novel that during climactic news events, even a good many Right leaning people would stay tuned in all day and night, in order to watch it.
CNN started the tradition for conservatives on its news panel shows to go one of two ways:
1. Beautiful Loser, who gets pummeled by all the liberals on the panel, or
2. Obvious Ogre, who would drool and grunt and be demonized as the One To Hate. Pat Buchanan was frequently hired for the Obvious Ogre position.

BREAKING from 1991
I'm standing in front of a baby formula factory the evil fascist president Bush just bombed because he is an evil fascist.
Already Iraqi mothers are asking me how they will feed their babies. Well, actually, the Iraqi government didn't let me talk with any moms...but they tell me that is the case...so we know it is a fact!

This was discussed on FBN this morning with a BJ Clinton reporter. That guy said that these little side interviews (either in the press room or in the hallways?) were NEVER on camera interviews until the press decided to become jackals for the Bush administration. That they wanted them on camera so that they could then parse the person's facial expressions, body language, whether he stopped in mid sentence(obviously lying), etc. He pretty much shrugged and said the current press needs to get over it, that it has nothing to do with the 1st amendment as the statements are STILL being written down and published. That the television guys are the ones that hate this because they are losing filler for the 24/7 news programming.

http://nypost.com/2017/06/24/ inside-the-shadowy-intelligence-firm-behind-the-trump-dossier/
Sketchy firm behind Trump dossier is stalling investigators
"What is the company hiding? Fusion GPS describes itself as a “research and strategic intelligence firm” founded by “three former Wall Street Journal investigative reporters.” But congressional sources say it’s actually an opposition-research group for Democrats, and the founders, who are more political activists than journalists, have a pro-Hillary Clinton, anti-Trump agenda."

The U.S. Air Force and more recently the U.S. Marine Corps have identified Raytheons GBU-49 as the quickest way to give the F-35 the ability to prosecute moving targets. Currently, the F-35s ability to strike moving targets is somewhat limited, requiring the pilot to manually direct a GBU-12 to its destination.

It never believes the studies that demonstrate that something is not harmful . It always believes the studies that show sugar is dangerous, fat is a killer, and every food corporation is out to kill it's customers.
I DO , however, like the back page that is titled Food Porn. Some of the specials that are created at chain restaurants are out of the range of sense regarding the caloric count. However, anyone with two brain cells should realize that four burger patties covered with cheese, sauce, bacon, mayonnaise and four slices of buttered toasted thick slice bread is going to pack on the calories. Along with half a pound of fries covered in cheese. LOL.
Typical entrees they feature run 2100 calories, not including a drink. Don't forget the 1500 calorie dessert,....

Hitchcock, or one of his followers, also mentioned that the characters in the narrative care about the McGuffin, but the audience doesn't. So it is here: everyday sensible Americans don't care about this "Russian Hacking" or impeachment business. Only the characters, the pols and the media, do.

As you start digging into The Dossier (random irrelevant facts spinkled on pure whackjobbery to lend credence) or The Chart (A bunch of lines between businessmen and politicians that actually looks like the relationship between any group of businessmen and politicians from major economic centers), or whatever, the narrative just falls apart.
And then you run into Maxine Waters With Underwear on her Head shouting IPEACH, IPEACH and you hallucinate that Oscar the grouch is fronting for Apple's new iPeach by throwing fruit at people and then Big Bird drives by in a convertible El Dorado singing "They see me rolling..." and then you wake up in a pool of your own sweat.

I mean aside from "hey, you jackwagon, I voted for him, Russia didn't make me do it"
I mean that the Russia Hacker story has fallen apart, then been changed, over and over. Trump is being investigated, no he's not. They hacked the voting machines, no that's not possible. They were in charge of fake news, no, all the fake news is coming from you guys about Russians.
And the more they get shot down, the louder the press gets about Russian hacking. Its like some kind of mental illness: the more wrong and discredited you are, the louder you get.

Several years ago one of the channels had a four pm broadcast and was reduced to reading #hottake tweets on air.
Most of the local news is rah rah crap for the city and the rest seems to be health articles printed off the internet. The female anchor does a voice over recording for it and the play it later during the newscast.
It's pathetic crap, really. There's absolutely no use for them. They're not covering the city council or anything important. God knows how many people are filling their pockets at City Hall. It's not like the paper is doing anything either. That rag, which shrinks by the year, is full of AP reprints, days old editorials, and the rest is millennial shitlibs writing about restaurants and gays.

Well, my first thought is always "the enemy of my enemy is my friend."
And that certainly explains it to some extent.
However.. on the gay/lesbian side, perhaps there is a lot of subconscious self hatred. Not really sure how it would be psychologically defined, however "aligning with individuals who want to k*ll you" just isn't normal.
This also holds true for feminists, the half naked slut celebraters who are aligning with Islam, while Islam wants them to live in the house, in a garbage bag without external genitalia.

From SCOTUS:
As for entities, the relationship must be formal, documented, and formed
in the ordinary course, rather than for the purpose of evading EO -2.
The students from the designated countries who have been admit- ted to
the University of Hawaii have such a relationship with an American
entity. So too would a worker who accepted an offer of employment from
an American company or a lecturer invited to address an American
audience. Not so someone who enters into a relationship sim- ply to
avoid 2(c): For example, a nonprofit group devoted to immigration
issues may not contact foreign nationals from the designated countries,
add them to client lists, and then secure their entry by claiming injury
from their exclusion.

I thought at first that it was a sarcastic counter-protester, but no -- that is his sincere sentiment.
I assume they believe reports about Muslims throwing gays off rooftops are lies. Mind you I assume their Muslim killers might be up to buggering them first.

My brother WHO TOTALLY EXISTS and sister in law are here to visit this week. They were supposed to get in from CA (via AZ where they stopped to see her family) some vague time today.
The following happened:
Called Dad around 3:30 to see what was going on. Was told they were supposed to get in around 3:30. I said hey that's now and he was all oh huh well your mom's at the bank something about a check and she'll call you and he hung up on me. Okie dokie.
Mommy just called. I asked when they were arriving and she said they were there. Okay. Then I asked if they wanted me to stop over for dinner. This should be a yes or no answer, right?
Yeah. That took 10 minutes including oh do you have to stay the rest of the day and me well it's 4:10 now so yes also I'm the only one here and then well I haven't started dinner yet and I finally started yelling YES OR NO DO YOU WANT ME TO STOP FOR DINNER YES OR NO and Mommy all small voice "don't yell at me" and my asshole brother yelling in the background DON'T YELL AT HER.
Grrrrr. He's here 45 minutes and I'm already slipping out of Favorite Child position. *plots and seethes*

The best part about the penny per OUNCE Crook County Tax? SNAP Is Exempt! 900,000 poor people in Cook County pay no Soda Tax. Only the taxpayers will pay more taxes.
Expect Grocery Store sales to collapse. Lots of jobs lost, net taxes are about the same as all the county sales tax is lost.

It's because Democrats generally are constitutionally incapable of handling money. Hell, the DNC is in hock up to its eyeballs.
However much money a Democrat gets, he spend 120% of that. It's true not only of Dem politicians (God knows), but also true of a lot of Dem supporters.
They always think they've got an income problem, and never consider that maybe they've got a spending problem. Also an emotional maturity/ character problem that prevents them from ever denying themselves immediate gratification.

So, have some news to report.
Sales "job" was $9 an hour with 10% commision after $250. Didn't even ask about average commission, since the guy admitted sales are really irregular.
Basically a $9 an hour job. Which is way under the new informal miminum wage of $15.
That sort of sales job is probably great for a college student.

People in Trump's Whitehouse are public figures too.
What's different is that MSM has creates lots of evidence of "actual malice," which is usually hard for public figures to prove.
Also, Trump won't care if he doesn't win actual money damages. Most plaintiffs can't afford to drop a million just to prove their honor.

You heard it here first: they will come up with a solution (involving, of course, higher taxes) around, say, 9 p.m. on Friday and ram it through even if they have to stop the clock (literally) to do it. It's happened before; in 1988 a bill to build a new White Sox stadium at taxpayer expense (because the team's owner was going to move them to St. Pete otherwise) was brought to the floor so close to a midnight deadline that the clock in the legislative chamber was, literally, stopped at several minutes to midnight to insure that the bill passed "on time".

The CBO, during those budget surplus years, projected that in 10 years the entire federal debt would be gone, and Uncle would be running perpetual surpluses.
Wizard of Smart Alan Greenspan, Fed Chairman, was worried about it. If Uncle had no debt, the Fed's primary monetary policy instrument, Ts, would no longer exist, and they would have to come up with something else.
He was really concerned about it at the time.

I will admit that things are very stressful right now due to health issues with my dad and Mommy, bless her, is really stressed about it but, as a family, we're not high drama at all.
Though what is going to be hard is that my brother and sil haven't seen my parents (or me) in around a year and my dad's health has deteriorated drastically. So that'll be fun.

I feel that. Most of my family only saw dad once, maybe twice out of the year due to geographic distribution, so they didn't have a good feel for how things were as things went. (Turns out it was sudden for everyone, but that's the way it goes.) Eldest brother (being closer) managed to drop in a few times, but middle brother...I'm not sure he ever really grokked how things were.
Which makes the perspectives interesting, but I can deal with that. I knew how it would be. Not that it helped.
Here's hoping it's smoother for you and yours as time goes on.

I would go along with this if I thought there was a scintilla of a chance that the blame would fall on the left. There isn't.
The media will be reporting 7 x 24 that healthcare died under Republican watch. It won't be true and it would be satisfying to watch Obamacare crumble but Republican ultimately would be blamed and if the Dems get control, single payer here we come.

12% positive on Obamacare Lite, last time I looked. Winning!
============
In a nutshell, this is the problem. They do things to get make their lobbyist's happy. Not to win elections. They really don't care that much about not winning elections. The GOPe.

Yeah if play the way we've been playing...We have change the rules, change the language, change the narrative, and grow a pair.
Because backing this shitty plan which will NOT lower premiums nor open up care will be as bad as Fredocare and then we will Shirely get the blame...Might as well go out with all guns blazing

Um, nothing that hasn't been happening for decades. What the hell is wrong with you? For a supposedly strongly "independent" Democrat, you're apparently just not that bright. Your registered party's proxies have been sabotaging America for generations.

I don't know if you listen to comedians or not but if you have pandora , put your earphones in and pull up Kathy Madigan.

Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii) on Monday called conservative Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch, Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas "the three horsemen of the apocalypse" waiting for a fourth justice to join their ranks.

An interesting concept, if a tad outside my experience. I was always the oldest child, but never the favorite. Even when I was the only child I'm sure my parents liked the next door neighbor's kids better.

no. that message was ambiguous. was the message to Dorothy to surrender? (surrender, Dorothy)? or a message to OZ to surrender Dorothy?
commas matter.
