The Morning Rant

During the Rathergate scandal of 2004, a side discussion was generated over journalistic standards are and how strict they should be, and CBS producer Mary Mapes said something I thought was really flaky, and naturally I can't find the exact quote now. But, iirc, she was responding to the idea that journalists should assume the story is false unless it can be verified as true, and she said "no, that's not the standard at all" and then went on to claim that they could just print stuff they thought was good, and it should be considered true until proven otherwise.

In other words, she was taking what I had always assumed how journalism was supposed to work and standing it on its head. I was quite astonished when she just came right out and said it. Of course, I had always suspected that's what they were doing, but it was if Mapes was saying "Fact checking? We don' need no stinking fact checking!"

As Chris Taylor commented on Twitter a few days ago:

News "fact checkers" are the worst problem with news today. No, not for the reason you think. They're a problem because that's supposed to happen BEFORE you go to print, not after.

See, in the past, grizzled, tough editors would stop crap news from going through, force rewrites, and block anything that couldn't be substantiated or proven outside rumors and the writer's own claims.

Now the process is reversed: the news fires off crap then someone goes through it to find the facts and claims to see how valid they are later. Which almost always is narrowed to "things I don't like seeing in print" while other claims are left unvetted.

As I said, I was shocked at Mapes' candid admission, but nowadays? Everybody knows that sort of thing is pretty much SOP. In fact, it has even acquired a name of its own, "journalisming" which encompasses not only inadequate (or non-existent) but also the overuse of "anonymous" sources. And then when the story turns out to be a load of crap (like that Atlantic story a few weeks ago that claimed Trump referred to soldiers as 'suckers' and 'losers'), nothing ever happens, and everybody just moves on. I thought it used to be that if an anonymous source fed crap, that invalidated the anonymity agreement and the source could get publicly identified. If *I* were a journalist that wrote a story bases on an anonymous tip that turned out to be crap, I'd (a) not use the source ever again, because they just demonstrated that they're not trustworthy and (b) write a follow-up article apologizing for my poor judgment which led to erroneous reporting and either publicly naming the source or writing "I know who it was and I'll never use him again."

The media has pretty much burned through any and all of its moral capital, or good will, or whatever you might want to call it so that whenever they include phrases in a news story such as

--an anonymous source/whistleblower
--a source close to the situation
--a source close to President Trump
--sources say

...they no longer are entitled to be given any benefit of the doubt whatsoever. In fact, we should assume the opposite: any time there is not a source willing to go on the record to corroborate whatever story they're trying to sell, you can conclude that they're lying. Somewhere along the line, some of that hard fact-checking I mentioned earlier hasn't been done, and the ~~reporter~~ journalismist is cutting corners by attempting to fill in the blanks with his own pre-conceived ideas of what he wants to be true.

With a pandemic sweeping the country and a crucial election just around the country, it's a pity we don't have a functioning media to keep us informed. We could've used one right now.

AoSHQ Weekly Prayer List

Please submit any prayer requests to “Annie’s Stew” at apaslo atsign hotmail dot com.

Prayer Requests:
Special Prayer: Remember in your prayers the 'rons and 'ettes who are dealing with depression and also with anxiety caused by the upcoming election. Always remember that our God reigns no matter who is president.
9/30 – Coelacanth requests prayers for his son Cameron, for Godliness and clarity of thought and heart and purpose.
10/19 Update – Coelacanth sends thanks – they have seen a couple of small breakthroughs this last week.
9/30 – lurking grandma asks for prayers for her family, for strength and solace. Her son-in-law died at 36 years old, from Covid 19 and co-morbidities. He left 4 children and 3 step-children still at home.
9/30 – A dad requests prayers for his son, David, who is currently employed by Disney World and may be furloughed soon. He needs prayers for help.
10/7 – Lee Also requests prayers for her good friend who needs a lung transplant. He’s been on the list for a while, but it’s getting to the point where he needs it sooner than later. She also would like prayers for the family of the person whose untimely death will give life to her friend. They have lost someone they love. But their generosity will help her friend.
10/15 – Pooky’s Girl reports that Pooky will not get the part-time job he applied for, but he is volunteering for their church and Pookette’s school. They should be okay financially, but it is nerve-wracking. Also, next Friday, they will be doing a home study to get approved for their adoption license. The last meeting didn’t go very well, but they are moving forward after almost a year of delays. Prayers for peace, calm, and patience would be appreciated.
10/21 – Muley, the Duchess requests prayers for her late husband’s mother, ho is being taken out by bone cancer at 91. For peace and fortitude. She hasn’t seen any family since March.

For Healing:
9/2 – Katya, the designated driver requests prayers for her stage 3 triple negative breast cancer. She is 2 chemo treatments in. She is doing well with side effects.
9/23 Update – Katya, the designated driver, sends word that her 4th chemo treatment was 9/24. She will have an ultrasound in about 2 weeks to see how things are progressing. Or hopefully, regressing. The plan is for her to follow up with the next round of chemo, surgery after that, then radiation. Her side effects have been very minor compared to most people. She sends her thanks to the Horde.
10/16 Update – Katya, the designated driver sends an update that her treatments are still going well, and so far, no problems. She also requests prayers for her mom, who has Covid. She is being treated in the nursing facility where she lives. She is very tired and has no appetite and is on oxygen.
10/27 Update – Katya, the designated driver sent word that her mother passed away yesterday. She and her brother were able to visit a few times over the weekend. Her mother was aware of them and seemed to know them. She slipped away quietly.
9/23 – Dr_No requests continued prayers for his daughter Megan. She had surgery for cancer earlier, and now has had the 2nd of 12 FOLFOX chemo treatments for her Stage III-C cancer. It’s been rough – fatigue, weight loss, cold sensitivity, jaw pain. She’s losing an average of 6.5 pounds per week now and has lost approximately 25 pounds since her surgery and beginning chemo. Her attitude is terrific despite what she’s going through, but it’ll be a rough slog between now and January.
10/8 Update – Megan was admitted to the hospital for bi-lateral pulmonary embolisms. Luckily, the embolisms responded to treatment. Dr_No says thanks again for sending words up for Megan!
9/24 – THE Lonebadger requests prayers for Dad, who had an episode of unknown origin while getting out of bed and he became unresponsive. Dad is in intensive care and on a ventilator.
10/7 – MrObvious requests prayers for an old friend from college, who has extremely aggressive Stage 4, Grade 3 Colo-rectal cancer. She’s been through extensive tests since then and the common thread of discussion is “whether to even attempt surgery or go straight to hospice”.
10/13 – Former ‘ette Miss Marple is in an Indianapolis hospital. I believe Hrothgar saw the information, and he said he will provide updates when he finds out anything specific.
10/14 – vmom requests prayers for her friend Denise, who is recovering from a stroke.
10/21 – Lady in Black requests prayers for her stepmom, who fought breast cancer 7 years ago, and now it’s back. She will be having surgery for a double mastectomy, followed by chemo. She’d appreciated any prayers to help her get through this surgery and contain this cancer.
10/24 – Kerncon requests prayers for his wife. His wife is currently in the ICU following a massive kidney infection, which resulted in the removal of one of them. She is currently stable and slowly recovering. They hope to be able to get her out of ICU in the next few days. Her remaining kidney hasn’t resumed functioning, and it could take weeks to recover, if at all. Please keep them in your prayers for a swift recovery, and for regaining full function to her remaining kidney.

For submission guidelines and other relevant info, please contact Annie's Stew, who is managing the prayer list. You can contact her at apaslo at-sign hotmail dot com.

Monday Who Dis: I had originally intended to pair John Stamos (actor and occasional Beach Boys drummer) with his counterpart on the original Full House series, Lori Loughlin. She's pretty enough but not spectacular. Then I discovered he got married in 2018 to Caitlin McHugh, who doesn't have much of a CV, but wow, is she gorgeous. So I thought she'd make a better choice.

41 I read a good article about this the other day, but I can't remember who wrote it or where it was.

The problem with journalism emerged in the late 60s/early 70s and was called "New Journalism" at the time. Reporting went from "who / what / when / where?" to pushing a narrative. It was no longer about observing, the journalist was now an active participant.

There was no longer any interest in the truth, this kind of journalist just shows up, finds a few data points to corroborate the story he wants to tell, takes a picture or two, and jets off.

Was that a prayer actually addressed to a deity. It has the form of a prayer without addressing a being. or was it just her wishes?.

I doubt R vs. Wade will be overturned. If it is, abortions will come under state control and someone wouldn't have enough money to go to some state nearby which allows for abortion?. And nobody died from lack of coverage under Obamacare or a delay of testing or treatments because of Covid?.

I tend to think these kinds of "prayers" may rebound to the person who shared them. Why didn't she just pray for a change of heart for ACB if that's what she felt?

family. On Thanksgiving everyone drew a name to buy a modest gift for
and we opened our present on Christmas eve together after singing
carols. The dinner is a chili feed, not sure how that tradition started
but its good and filling on a winter's night.

Posted by: Nervous Ned at October 28, 2020 11:25 AM (4Eo4+)

==========

Indications are that that's not the case.

Looking at NC, both Reps and Dems are increasing at almost the same rate, indicating that the pattern from previous elections of a larger Republican turnout on election day will hold. Combine that will several poll results that show that far more Republican super likely voters (those who've voted in 4/4 of the last general elections) are waiting to vote than Democrats, and you've got a recipe for what seems to be the same election day blowout from Republicans as normal.

Democrats use the weeks of early voting to get their most loyal to vote.

Republicans, this year, have used it to get their least likely to vote.

This ain't going to be very close.

172 I was watching video of the news coverage of RFK's assassination, as it happened. Howard K. Smith of ABC made the statement about not wanting to speculate, not wanting to report things that might just be rumor, using the same phrase a couple times (don't remember the exact wording).

Then proceeded to speculate wildly over the next 6 or so hours. No, I didn't watch the whole 6 hours.

Among the things they got wrong early on was repeating a video they had of the room where all of Kennedy's supporters were milling about, and among the noises heard were one loudish banging sound, and two louding banging noises about a minute later.

Smith kept saying those were the gunshots.

Except, no, that's not possible. There were at LEAST 8 shots fired, in rapid succession.

Anyhoo, I won't go further here. The point being, this notion that the news people are out to get it right is bunk. It's always been bunk, and it's only more obvious now, because the internet lets us see things for ourselves. Sometimes.

It's even stupider than that. Jean claimed he attacked her, a stupid story that died instantly. Trump said it was stupid because he never even met her. Jean is suing him for defamation because she came up with a picture of her standing a person or two away from him in a crowd, years ago. She claims Trump lied because obviously he should remember every person who ever stood near him in every crowd for the last 30 years of his life in New York City.

192 Well let's run the numbers. There are about 3,000 abortions a day in the USA on average, God help us. Of those abortions, it is estimated that 36% of all abortions in the USA are black children (while blacks make up around 12% of the population). That works out to around 1080 helpless, innocent black babies a day on average being murdered, or in the 301 days since January 1, just over 325,000 black babies murdered with legal sanction.

220 The problem with journalism emerged in the late 60s/early 70s and was
called "New Journalism" at the time. Reporting went from "who / what /
when / where?" to pushing a narrative. It was no longer about
observing, the journalist was now an active participant.

There was no longer any interest in the truth, this kind of
journalist just shows up, finds a few data points to corroborate the
story he wants to tell, takes a picture or two, and jets off.

This is precisely how Democracy dies.

Posted by: Xipe Totec-MAGAfauna at October 28, 2020 11:37 AM (o2MD2)

233 Thanks for the point about the dissolution of journalistic standards. I'd add three points of my own:

First, one big difference between journalism of the past and that of the present is that newspapers had lead times to delay and review stories. Television and the Internet don't: they go directly from "journalist" to airwaves. And given that pretty much all publications nowadays are printed television, the TV standard reigns.

Second, there used to be rival news organizations, with differing points of view, that would act as checks on each other. When I was growing up in Chicago in the 1960s, there were four daily papers: the conservative Tribune, the tabloid Sun-Times, the liberal Daily News, and Hearst's American. Each had its own point of view, and each would happily trumpet mistakes in a rival paper. Nowadays, all journalists are members of a single fraternity, and all present pretty much the same leftist point of view: the rivalries and cross-checking are gone.

Which leads me to my third point: that "objectivity" has been the death of journalism. That may sound counter-intuitive, but my point is that a truly objective, truly detached presentation of facts and events is not humanly possible: Everybody has a world-view, everybody sees events through the lens of that world-view, and everybody's presentation of events is tempered by that world-view. To deny this is to deny human nature. A notion of "objectivity", however, does just that: it claims that there is a single, true, "objective" set of facts for every event, and a story must be judged by how closely it hews to that single, "objective" POV. However, this produces not objectivity, but conformity: given that the hard-left POV is declared to be the one immutable "objective" truth, reporting is judged by the degree to which it adheres to that POV. Communist "journalism" was notorious for this; and, I'm afraid, so is American journalism these days as well.

These abuses have been incubating for a long time. I remember a piece that journalist Joseph Kraft wrote in "Commentary" back in the 1970s, in which he likened the media in America to an occupying army: an alien entity imposing it will on a cowed, terrorized population. And it's gotten much, much worse since then.

1. If you work for the New York Times, ask your co-workers for the relevant facts.

2. If you work for the Washington Post, ask your co-workers for the relevant facts.

3. If you work for any other Media organization, or are an independent journalist, check the NYT or WaPo for the relevant facts.

Notes for 3:
a. For news articles, look for facts on a topic only in the headline and first two paragraphs.

b. Opinion items and Columns are excellent sources of facts to use for fact-checking.

This is how this works, after the bullshit SC ruling is overturned, due to it not BEING a matter for the SC to consider.

1. Keep your legs closed.
2. If you can't keep your legs closed, used readily available birth control.
3. If that fails, and you want to kill your baby, go to a state that will IMMEDIATELY legalize abortion once it's overturned by the SC.
D. Have the baby.

279 Elsewhere someone asked what we could do to reduce the need for abortions and frankly, we've done everything that would have driven a desperate young woman to the back alley or a coat hanger.

We have ubiquitous "sex ed" and everyone knows where babies come from.

We have easily available contraception.

There is NO social stigma to having a baby without a husband. It ranks up there with bad fashion sense or a really unfortunate hair cut.

There is NO social stigma to the child born.

There is NO social stigma attached to being adopted.

You're not even going to be kicked out of high school (even if you have to go to an "alternative" campus).

There are assistance programs and welfare available.

There are programs to pay for college or other vocational training for single mothers.

Yeah, having a baby at a bad time with an unfortunate choice of baby-daddy will still SUCK but the notion that it means life-risking desperation is idiotic. And none of these pro-choice crusaders getting so emotional over it all for even a moment think that THEY would be so stupid. They just think that other women are really just too dumb to function.

Giving this more thought than it probably deserves, but the description is self-contradictory. A clone is genetically identical, while a mutant is genetically altered. So once it is a mutant, it can no longer be considered a clone.

3. If that fails, and you want to kill your baby, go to a state that will IMMEDIATELY legalize abortion once it's overturned by the SC.
D. Have the baby.

337 Texas Supreme Court has shot down the challenge to Abbot's order to limit Ballot Collection boxes to one per county. They pointed out that, as Abbott had said, you can also mail your ballot in, and there are postboxes all over the place. So it's foolish to say that this limits access.

I think I see where the pro-Biden pollsters are getting their claim that Biden is actually ahead in Texas. Harris County (Houston) has been a very strong Democrat party area. In 2016, there were 1.3 million votes cast in Harris County, total. So far, there have been 1.15 million votes cast early in Harris County. They assume that means there is a huge increase in Democrat votes - even though they have nothing to go on other than those raw numbers, as far as I can tell.

A lot of men don't "have it all" either, as that implies a level of talent and ambition that most people just don't have. Look at Joe Biden...a great political career, but neglected his family and sold out his country. It's always a matter of choices and consequences.

I have an acquittance involved in D politics in NH. One night while drinking (and him not knowing my political views) he bragged about bribing college kids with beer to get them to vote, and coaching them that they didn't need a NH ID to vote, and to claim they live full time on campus. And he also talked about "well, you know, anyone could vote in NH. No way to verify if they live here or not or even what their real name is. Why do you think turnout is always so much higher in the areas that border VT and MA then in the interior of the state?"

So yeah, I assume this stuff has been going on forever. And again, this isn't some like high ranking political insider, this guy was just a volunteer.

370 "And then when the story turns out to be a load of crap (like that Atlantic
story a few weeks ago that claimed Trump referred to soldiers as
'suckers' and 'losers'), nothing ever happens, and everybody just moves
on."

Obama made Mockingbird Media legal in 2012. The law that allowed Voice of America to produce (mostly true) "propaganda" in foreign countries was revised to allow our government (IC) to covertly run PsyOps via Media. This (I'd guess) made the Fusion GPS type payments to Media Stars legal, payments to promote agitprop (for DeepState) as Real News.

That fits with Trump calling it Fake News, but it is a coordinated PsyOp with DeepState, not just biased reporting. We mostly knew this, but the law legalizing it has been ignored. I think it is significant ... it proves intent at the highest levels, to subvert our news (as part of the sedition/coup).

You know what the origin of the word "outlaw" is? Its not someone who operates outside the law.

Its someone who is outside the protections of the law. Someone who has been declared to not be protected by legal ramifications. You could do anything you wanted to them, and its not illegal.

Outlaw meant "fair game for everyone to prey on and kill."

Some women do "have it all". Justice Barrett has a family and a sensational career, so does Diana Ross, for example. The idea that stupid Stevie Nicks had to kill her child for her career is just that...stupid.

A lot of men don't "have it all" either, as that implies a level of talent and ambition that most people just don't have. Look at Joe Biden...a great political career, but neglected his family and sold out his country. It's always a matter of choices and consequences.

I think NH requires a photo ID now to vote. Not necessarily a NH ID, but at least an ID an affidavit saying the person intends to become a NH citizen within the next 30 days.

Something like that, I forget the details. But might be enough to dissuade some of the more atrocious voter fraud.

However, UNH is holding in person classes, so there will still be college kids there. Watch the votes in Durham and Dover, that's where most of the UNH kids live.

There might be that many who have tested positive with it. Maybe.

But then there's the little secret that few are talking about. The fact that this year there are 95% fewer cases of the seasonal flu than on average. Where did those all go? Is it that we're all being so careful with hand sanitizer and all that crap that we're defeating a virus?

Or is it that a ton of cases of Wuhan Flu are actually the common cold, but are being misdiagnosed by processing the trace DNA 40 doublings (that's several hundred thousand times) to get enough data to analyze?

417 41 I read a good article about this the other day, but I can't remember who wrote it or where it was.

The problem with journalism emerged in the late 60s/early 70s and was called "New Journalism" at the time. Reporting went from "who / what / when / where?" to pushing a narrative. It was no longer about observing, the journalist was now an active participant.

There was no longer any interest in the truth, this kind of journalist just shows up, finds a few data points to corroborate the story he wants to tell, takes a picture or two, and jets off.
Posted by: Cato, Collectivism Delenda Est, Post-Apocalyptic Scourge of the Seas at October 28, 2020 11:17 AM (/Uewv)

I agree with this, but it doesn't mean to me that New Journalism was garbage.

The pioneers of New Journalism, like Hunter S Thompson, Tom Wolfe and George Plimpton, were giants. Huge talents, and interesting insights - NJ probably wouldn't have taken off if it were based on lesser lights.

The problem is the same as what happens in any entrepreneurial enterprise. The first generation are the pioneers, the second are the caretakers, and the third are the squanderers.

We're probably in generation #4 right now.

428 this is from that "legalizing Mocking Media propaganda" article. They flood us with their False Narrative, still ongoing. It shouyld be declassified ... which talking heads were paid by Fusion GPS to lie for Hillary?

"Systematically omitting relevant information from the public forum, tailoring narratives and messaging in the guise of legitimate news, redundant scripting across networks, and disallowing nearly all critical debate or analysis, is classic communications manipulation, strategically designed as part of a larger behavior modification agenda.

This is hardly new.

Sophisticated behavior-science methodologies has been in play through media for decades. When you react with far more emotion than reason to news items, without stopping to question any part of that item, you've been successfully triggered into a highly specific, predetermined response -- a conditioned response.

Triggering itself is a primary means of conditioning, with lots of proven behavior science to inform it."

Freakish size is really the key for most football and basketball players.

That was brought home to me a few years ago when one of the local community college basketball teams was number one in the country for whatever their division was.

Both teams were outstanding basketball players- j3-point shots, free throws, ball handling, team play, the works.

Except they were short.

So, of course, no dunking.

And any good six foot plus monster in the NBA could've swatted away all of their shots without breaking a sweat.

So, if basketball got them into college on a scholarship, well, good for them.

But, after college basketball was never going to be anything but a weekend hobby.

Still, for most players that's what school sports are.

Very few 4-year degrees seem worth it to me, to be honest.

Same with advanced degrees. Like is a law degree or medical degree really worth it? I think most people who go in to those fields would have been high earners in other fields that require way less education.

For example, many coders make six figure salaries, and can do a 6-month online boot camp for $20k.

Now, they won't start at a 6 figure income, but they'll also be able to start their career with very little debt when they're 18-19, not in their late 20's like people with MD's or JD's. I'd be curious to see if someone could run the numbers on that and see if it's actually worth the extra time / expense / debt / headache to get an advanced degree in this day and age.

Apparently it is true to say that the main difference is in the reporting of cause of death. U.S. is basically calling any death of anyone with a positive Covid test, as being caused by the Covids.

Pretty much everywhere else in the world, it's at the discretion of the doctor writing the report, to determine if the "cause of death" is the person's catastrophic heart failure or cancer or whatever other condition it was that was the main REASON the person died.

This isn't even really a question, that's how this is happening.

585 Yeah, but how do you catch that?

The first step is to subpoena voter rolls from the state, and start in the hundreds of precincts in big cities where more people are registered to vote than actual voting age humans living there. Then you start doing comparisons between registrations and valid voters, and track down where and who did those registrations. You bust the losers and flip the to attack the organizations.

Its not exactly rocket science.

What did Joe Biden and President Xi talk about during 25 hours of private dinners?

https://tinyurl.com/y29s3mjl

Snip~

The National Pulse submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request in response to Biden boasting he had "spent more time in private meetings with Xi Jinping than any world leader."

The private meetings, involving only Biden, Xi and an interpreter, potentially warrant investigation in light of his family inking billion-dollar contracts with Chinese Communist Party-owned enterprises.

The State Department, however, responded to a response time inquiry by placing the estimated completion date at April 5th, 2023 - more than halfway into a potential Biden presidency. That's over 300 days closer to election day for 2024 than 2020.

I had a good friend about my age, when I went off to College, he didn't care about that sort of thing, he decided to work as a roofer, a job he'd learned to do. He worked really hard at it for the first 5 or 6 years, got really good. He was also good at numbers, and scheduling, and didn't have any personal problems to drag him down. (drugs, etc) Other roofers who knew him asked him to take over their scheduling, banking, and tax compliance duties, since he could do that. Quickly turned into him having 5 or 6 roofers working for him as contractors, while he did all the office stuff. Got bigger over the years, not long ago sold out.

He's about 60 years old, he's retired, he's got a net worth in the neighborhood of $10 million with no debt. He now does whatever he wants to do for the rest of this life.

I'm beginning to believe that news was never like that. It's always been reckless sensational clickbait. The "grizzled tough editor" shtick is an old-timey meme from the same kind of folks who lionized Woodward & Bernstein. There may have been one or two good editors somewhere in the business, in some bygone era, but most of it is fishwrap.
