The Free Beacon: Nearly 100% of "Fact"-Checkers' Political Donations Went to the Political Party They Always Claim Is Honest and Accurate
Nearly 100 percent of political donations from self-identified fact checkers--including those whose employers claim journalistic neutrality--go to Democrats, a Washington Free Beacon analysis of federal campaign finance disclosures found. The Free Beacon reviewed political donations over the past four election cycles from those who identified their occupation as "fact checker." $22,580 of the $22,683 in political donations that came from self-identified fact checkers during that time--a whopping 99.5 percent--went to Democrats and liberal groups. Only three of the fact checker donations made during that period went to Republicans. Top recipients include socialist Vermont senator Bernie Sanders, who during the seven-year period received ten times more fact checker money than every Republican combined. The findings contradict claims of neutrality from top fact-checking operations. Fact checkers for the New York Times and Reuters, for example, contributed to President Joe Biden, failed South Carolina Democratic Senate candidate Jaime Harrison, and liberal Massachusetts senator Elizabeth Warren's presidential campaign. The Times fact checker, Cecilia Nowell, contributed three times to Warren's failed presidential bid from 2019 to 2020 and still accepts "fact-checking assignments" from the outlet on a freelance basis, according to her LinkedIn. Reuters, meanwhile, from 2020 to 2021 employed Carrie Monahan, daughter of veteran journalist Katie Couric, as a "fact check producer." Monahan during that time contributed to Biden, Harrison, and Georgia Democratic senator Jon Ossoff. Both the Times and Reuters say they approach fact checking in an unbiased and balanced manner. Those organizations and others, however, have a long history of botched fact checks on high-profile conservatives. In a 2020 fact check, for instance, the Times accused Arkansas senator Tom Cotton of flirting with conspiracy theories when the Republican suggested that COVID-19 may have originated in a Chinese research lab. Federal investigations have since corroborated the lab leak theory Cotton promoted. Fact checkers working for Facebook, meanwhile, last year erroneously designated as misinformation a Free Beacon report on Biden's Department of Health and Human Services, which was set to fund the distribution of safe smoking kits with crack pipes. Facebook's fact checker, Lead Stories, kept the piece in place even after the Free Beacon proved that federally-funded harm reduction organizations distributed crack pipes.There are a lot more "fact" checkers now, too -- quite a few new names in the game you might not know -- due to the explosion of (state-funded) growth in the Censorship-Industrial Complex, more and more bitter-ender leftists have gotten jobs OWNING THE CONS as part of the "neutral and objective" "anti-disinformation" industry. The Free Beacon searches for the donations of these "fact" checkers too, and finds the "anti-disinformation" propagandists donate nearly 100% to the Democrats.

And that much spending leads to both corruption, and Government believing its the master, not the servant.

Journalism had always been partisan. The reporter goes out and gets The Facts and writes them up... and then the Editor decided which facts worked for their paper's platform and what they were agitating for or against.
Which is fine. You'll never have a 100% objective Editor no matter how hard you try, which is why you don't have one State News Agency, you have dozens of rag tag muckrakers all peddling their own little worldviews instead.

Yup. It's why have old newspaper names with the words "Independent" or "Republican" or "Democrat" in their titles. Everything is biased, but you can see multiple biases based on who the paper aligns with.
The problem isn't bias as such, the problem is the monoculture in the press. There are none of those competing allegiances or world-views on display, there is only *one.*

Couple are being interviewed to become members of the church. The husband confesses that he once was overcome with lust when his wife was bent over the freezer and took here right there, and asked if he would be kicked out of the church for that.

Husband says, "Well I ask, becuase they kicked us out of Vons".

All Goedel showed was that you can't bootstrap the natural numbers out of nothing. Any set of axioms that can completely define a natural number system will lead to a system that contains at least one self-contradiction. It's not philosophy. It's not even really mathematics. It's meta-mathematics. More to do with how you define things than What Truth Is.

That was the US impression during WWII. Both the Germans and the Japanese considered themselves near-god like - The Nazis signed on to the "master race" theology, while the Japanese served their "god emperor" unto the death. Government at the service of theology is a very potent thing. No one considered Mussolini anywhere near god-like and he was deposed in 1943.

Yup. And our press is worse than the Soviet press.
Someone buried in the bowels of Pravda or Izvestia was not there by choice. Somebody - a janitor, a press operator, someone - was there because he was compelled to be there by his tyrannical government. Work for Pravda or go to Gulag. That one man makes their outfits better than ours.
Because this is not so in our propaganda complex. Every single person working within that complex is there by his own free choice and without coercion.

BTW, Bongino had a pretty interesting take on the latest non-bombshell "bombshell" stories (if true, the story of the millennium if not all time) regarding the feral government and UFOs & aliens: given that trust in government and the media is now at an all-time low, perhaps they figured it was a good time to actually spill the beans -- figuring that nobody would pay attention or believe it.

Perhaps. I think it was his adventure in the Balkans, though. He got bogged down in the Balkans and Hitler had to go bail him out of the mess to secure resources and keep Italy from being defeated so early. That delayed the invasion of the USSR, and that delay might have cost Hitler the entire war when all was said and done.
Now without the Ethiopia misadventure, would Mussolini have been able to take care of the Balkans on his own? I dunno. I don't have a time machine.

It's good because it shows the planet still has a lot of heat. And that heat promotes volcanoes which makes more continental material...which washes into the ocean and is subducted under again.
It's what keeps the river mouths to the ocean from plugging up and flooding inland.

I remember a thought experiment (maybe Einstein?) about what would a light wave appear as if you were traveling next to it and able to observe it.
I believe he imagined an oscillating particle, which gave him an insight into the duality of matter (as particles) and energy (as waves). Perhaps the origin of his E=Mc**2 pursuit?

JUST IN - Blinken repeated that the United States does not support the independence of Taiwan and stood by its stance of maintaining the status quo
||But Blinken said the United States was “clear-eyed about the challenges” posed by China — after the growing rivalry was identified by President Joe Biden’s administration as the greatest potential threat.
“We have no illusions about the challenges of managing this relationship. There are many issues on which we profoundly — even vehemently — disagree,” Blinken said.
China has pointed to Taiwan as a main area of disagreement. Beijing claims the self-governing democracy, which buys weapons from Washington, and has not ruled out using force to seize the island.
Blinken repeated that the United States does not support the independence of Taiwan and stood by its stance of maintaining the status quo.
“At the same time, we and many others have deep concerns about some of the provocative actions that China has taken in recent years going back to 2016,” Blinken said.|| sock link

New Jersey public school students will be the first in the country required to learn about climate change while in the classroom starting this school year.
"Climate change is becoming a real reality," New Jersey first lady Tammy Murphy, who spearheaded the initiative, told "ABC News Live" on Thursday.
The new standards were adopted by the state's board of education in 2020, but because of the pandemic, the roll out was halted, giving educators and districts more time to prepare the lesson plans for all students in grades K-12.

“But climate change is a huge swindle. It’s a method of extracting money out of the people’s pockets, and they are supposed to feel good about it. The feeling good now ends at the end of the month when they see there’s no longer any buying power, when the restaurants close, when the airline trips can no longer be booked,” says Princess Gloria. “And what’s good is that the Greens have come out and been very open about this agenda: We may no longer travel, we should eat only certain things, we may not heat. It’s going to be worse than [communist] East Germany.”
