Reporter Who Dared to Ask Woke Prophet Ta-Nehisi Coates Offers "Regrets" For Committing Unauthorized Journalism at "Teary" Racial Bullying Struggle Session

This is fine. CBS "News" has laid down the law that no woke Marxist of a brown skin tone can ever, ever be challenged on his racism and antisemitism.

As John Nolte pointed out: There are zero "reporters" speaking up for this actual reporter. Jan Crawford did, but that was in an internal CBS staff conference, meant to be private.

Jake Tapper, brave defender of Democrats and "reporters" (but I repeat myself)?

Absolutely silent.

"CBS Mornings" co-host Tony Dokoupil told staffers during an emotional meeting that he "regretted" putting them in a difficult position amid the brewing scandal at the network over his grilling of an anti-Israel author, The Post has learned.
The embattled anchor spoke at Tuesday's staff-only meeting -- which was not attended by co-hosts Gayle King and Nate Burleson -- a day after being reprimanded by CBS brass for his fiery sit-down with Ta-Nehsi Coates, a source with knowledge said.
"Tony said he regretted putting his colleagues in that position especially the ones overseas and in danger," the insider told The Post.

Are you shitting me? That's the pretext for this racial struggle session? That he was putting fake reporters in danger in Gaza by doing real reporting in America?

This is the cover story.

Wow, this is corrupt. They literally do nothing but lie.

"There were tears. [People were] very upset," the source continued, adding that staffers are "divided" on the Israel-Palestinian conflict and were "troubled" by how Dokoupil challenged Coates last week.

So that's the real story -- the wokies were upset that any of their hard left pro-terrorist dogma was challenged.

So what's this bullshit about "putting reporters overseas in danger"?

And if reporters really are in danger because a reporter in America asks a question about Hamas's terrorism -- doesn't that mean that Coates' claim that Hamas are the good guys is a lie?

Dokoupil, however, didn't back down from his incisive questioning of Coates about his new book during the 11:30 a.m. meeting, which was led by "CBS Mornings" executive producer Shawna Thomas, sources said.
A second source said that some black staffers who attended the meeting were critical that Burleson and King have remained tight-lipped about the matter.
...
Dokoupil did not return requests for comment.
CBS News declined to comment.
In the days leading up to Tuesday's meeting, the source said that "CBS Mornings" staffers complained to network top brass about the journalist's treatment of Coates, who was promoting his latest book, "The Message."
The book condemns what he called Israeli "apartheid" in its administration of the territories captured in the Six-Day War of 1967.
Dokoupil, a convert to Judaism whose ex-wife lives in Israel along with their two children, took issue with Coates, saying that the book "would not be out of place in the backpack of an extremist" due to its characterization of Israel.

So, that's something that can put people's lives in danger -- a racially incendiary tract calling Jews filthy oppressors and calling for their overthrow.

But that danger is a good danger.

The possibility that a Gaza stringer might somehow be put in danger by questioning of this tract? Oh, that is an intolerable peril that we cannot abide.

During a staff meeting Monday -- on the one-year anniversary of the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attack that killed 1,400 in Israel -- CBS News boss Wendy McMahon and president of content development, Adrienne Roark called out Dokoupil for bringing his "bias" to the interview, adding that it did not live up to the network's editorial standards, according to reports from Puck News and Bari Weiss' Free Press.

Isn't it sweet that CBS "News" finally admits that some reporters have "bias" and unfairly grill interview subjects they disagree with politically?

But that never happens with strident leftwingers like Norah O'Donnell and Margaret Brennan, of course. They're not biased when they break the rules of the debate to pester JD Vance with fake "fact" checks.

No, reporters only show bias when they grill a Woke Black Prophet of Hate.

Very relatedly: Trump demands that the propaganda organization CBS "News" release the full, unedited interview with Kamala Harris, and not just the clips they've edited and polished to give Kamala the Hero Edit.

[W]hen the full interview aired Monday night, the Trump campaign noted that much of Harris's incoherence had been conveniently edited out. Leavitt's statement was scathing, accusing CBS of protecting Harris by removing embarrassing moments:
"On Sunday, 60 Minutes teased Kamala's highly-anticipated sit-down interview with one of her worst word salads to date, which received significant criticism on social media. During the full interview on Monday evening, the word salad was deceptively edited to lessen Kamala's idiotic response. Why did 60 Minutes choose not to air Kamala's full word salad, and what else did they choose not to air? The American people deserve the full, unedited transcript from Kamala's sit-down interview. We call upon 60 Minutes and CBS to release it. What do they, and Kamala, have to hide?"

What reason can CBS "News" have to not freely offer this? This is the first interview she's given where she was asked questions alone. It's critical information about the election that voters need and do not have.

To withhold the interview is, yes, election interference.

57 "Election interference" joins the list of non-things or terms for non-things that contaminates what's left of the language. It's not quite as bad as "hate crime" (an outrageous, fundamentally invalid and poisonous concept that nonetheless has been fully ingested and accepted by those who actually loathe everything the concept embodies), but the pattern is similar.

I dunno, are there actual statutes at the state or federal level that use the phrase? Would think most of it is covered by other, long-standing, normal concepts and phrases like fraud, electioneering, unreported donation, etc etc.

Yeah yeah just like "hate crime" it's now part of the vernacular, so like screaming at the sky to object to it. But especially when it comes to media, "bias" or "distortion" - with lots of flavor adjectives and adverbs - seems to cover what's being talked about.

75 The 2024 Presidential Election Really Isn't That Close

The bottom line is that what was once considered statistical analysis has now devolved into something little better than educated guessing. How to "weight" answers to create an accurate picture of the electorate has never been dicier.

...if allowance is made for the fact that the Democrats carry California and New York (82 electoral votes) by almost 5 million more votes than the Republicans comfortably carry Texas, Florida, and Tennessee (81 electoral votes), Trump is leading by about 8 million votes in the other 45 states.

Most of the swing states are close but Trump is almost always underestimated, and he does have the momentum. ...the Democratic presidential candidate is someone about whom two-thirds of Americans were embarrassed as vice president two months ago. And she is just as hapless as her outgoing president without a teleprompter and without the excuse of age that should be accorded to Mr. Biden. This should not be a close election and only the Democratic stranglehold on the morally bankrupt majority of the national political press make it seem close.

96 FEMA Administrator Blames "Misinformation" for Her Failure

Has anybody ever seen a FEMA administrator whine more than Deanne Criswell? Much of her FEMA funds have been inappropriately used not for natural disasters but for aiding millions of illegal aliens imported by the Biden-Harris administration. So now that FEMA has come up short in the wake of Hurricane Helene (and soon Hurricane Milton) she whines that those pointing out that FEMA funds have been used for illegals are guilty of "misinformation." Unfortunately for her, it was FEMA itself that bragged about using much of its funds for illegals.

154 Biden seems to keep trolling Harris, demonstrating that she's an empty vessel

Harris complained that DeSantis wouldn't take her call. It appears he was busy talking to the president.

Keen observers concluded on the basis of the timing and phrasing of the post that Biden, who just weeks ago donned a red Trump 2024 hat, is "just trolling Kamala at this point."

Charles Cooke, senior editor at the National Review, noted, "Harris under the bus."

One user quipped, "He's def voting for Trump."

DeSantis' call with Biden amounts to another messaging defeat for the Harris campaign, which is desperate for Harris to take starring roles before the election.

170 FEMA, like any other federal agency has their own constituents they look out for. You know who they are, because they're not "you."

It's on full display in NC now and will be in FL later. The only difference is a Republican governor in one state isn't likely to put up with their bullshit. But FEMA will try... oh yes, they will drag their heels and do the very minimum possible... that sort of "trying."

171 Yeah, the ticket-splitting stuff is mind boggling in many cases. OH the most head-shaking one (if true, of course). It's always true that Senate and gubernatorial races have their own peculiar dynamics in many cases (in reverse, why popular and "successful" governors are often flops on the presidential/national level). NV another one. GOP challenger being given up for dead already, when incumbent is a typical non-entity Dem seat warmer.

Of course NV is IL without trees or water, in terms of elections - one unbelievably corrupt county runs the state (they may have had the *most* outlandishly insecure/corrupt/likely stolen election in 2020, yet it's virtually unknown and never discussed).

You do not win by losing.

The GOPe tried this in the House. In 2018 Paul Ryan encourages many of his loyal backbenchers to resign instead of run again. This made the GOP weaker overall to spite Trump, but it also made the GOPe weaker within the caucus, tossing out their own allies, making them a smaller part of the overall makeup.

This crescendoed to the point where Matt Gaetz could unseat the sitting Speaker of the House last year in a vote of no-confidence that actually worked.

Now, the McCarthy's replacement got turned right fast because of donor pressure, but it doesn't change the fact that the GOPe massively weakened itself by trying to win by losing.

The McCain faction has been seemingly doing the same thing in AZ, losing as much as possible to try and retrench, which just makes them weaker.

McCarthy was the best Speaker since Newt, too.

The Speakership just attracts those who generally suck.

I assume it's because the primary job of Speaker is to be front man to the largest of party donors. So, the first conversation Johnson got was, "We do not give a shit what you want. If you don't do what we say, we cut off 9 figures of funding. You are a fucking weasel, you will squeal like a pig upon command, and you are less than dirt. Fuck you. Go fuck your own face."

Our area went something like 85% Trump last time around. Voting shenanigans aren't really a problem.

If I were going to keep an eye on voting issues in Maricopa county, I'd be taking a real close look at Mesa. I still can't believe the so-called "R" mayor of Mesa endorsed Kamala.

246 Blue on blue: Teamsters President Sean O'Brien: Democratic Party Is "Bought And Paid For By Big Tech Companies"

SEAN O'BRIEN, TEAMSTERS PRESIDENT: I'll be honest with you, I'm a Democrat, but they have f*cked us over for the last 40 years. Not all of them -- but for once, we are standing up as a union. I'm probably the only one right now saying, WTF have you done for us? And I'm getting attacked from the left.

Since I've been in office, two-and-a-half years, we've given the Democratic machine $15.7 million. We've given Republicans about $340,000 -- truth be told. People say the Democratic Party is the party of the working people. They're bought and paid for by Big Tech -- those Big Tech companies.

You've got the Republicans, who are now saying, we want to be the working-class party. You've got a great opportunity now to do that. And the Democrats, if 60% of our members aren't supporting you, the system's broken and you need to fix it.

247 Wisconsin's Senate race between incumbent Democratic Sen. Tammy Baldwin and Republican businessman Eric Hovde was reclassified as a "toss-up" by a major election forecaster on Tuesday, less than a month to Election Day. Baldwin has been viewed as favored in the Badger State, which remains viewed as a toss-up in the presidential race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump. But the Cook Political Report reclassified it from "Lean Democrat" to a "toss-up" after their latest poll showed her lead shrink to only two points, within the margin of error.

271 The McCain faction has been seemingly doing the same thing in AZ, losing as much as possible to try and retrench, which just makes them weaker.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison
========
My best guess is that the same dynamic exists in GA as it does AZ. Developers and agriculture want cheap labor from illegals, money is made via human trafficking and from money laundering of drug/trafficking money, and there is a large central city that benefits from all that crap. That is where GOPe entrenches itself via big donor money.

McCain was corrupt from the time he first entered office and suddenly turned the lemon of being bought by the S&L industry into a virtuous crusade to take money out of politics (opposing money of course). But like a dog returns to vomit, McCain promptly set up an Institute so that sweet donor cash could buy play for pay and throwing the 2008 election probably brought in even more money and recognition for his entire nasty clan. His current wife abused drugs and apparently benefitted tremendously via finances from her 'charity' to the extent she had to quit. McCain is and should be viewed as the GOP version of Joe Biden. Voters in both states should be ashamed.

Split-ticket voting is decreasing over time, probably only influenced heavily by local matters (Robinson in NC seems to be an example of this).

But in general, the populace seems to becoming increasingly partisan in voting preference.

Which is why it seems reasonable to doubt such huge disparities between Trump's numbers and, say, Lake's. Will there be a difference? Probably. Will it be 10 points? Probably not. Could it be 5 points? Sure.

I would be very careful with some of those assumptions. The House majority is small and the seats that put Republicans over the edge were in places like NY and CA. Those states have weaponized the electoral process to their advantage and those moves directly impact only the Republicans, putting them at a disadvantage. Some of those races were decided by small margins. Meaning they will be easier to steal as opposed to the presidential race. Democrats feel the presidency slipping, so they will do anything to try and keep a foot in power. They know better than anyone that gaining the House will put a major dent in the agenda most Americans want. I would surmise they are very dangerous and have no limits when the type of extinction they are potentially facing is on the board.

319 I had a boss in the mid-2000s who subscribed to both the Atlantic and the Economist, and would give her old copies to me once she and her husband were done reading them. Both were solid publications then. Both in the shitter now.

The Economist is now the newsletter for the World Economic Forum.

Its funny, a channel I watch for world/Ukraine news, the Duran often quotes the Economist...for war planning information they drop. Never for economic news, or not often. Seems to be neocon central.

320 Harris Attempts To Blame Trump For FEMA Hurricane Relief Failures

“He really lacks empathy...”

321 Stu vote 3rd party. Leaving a ballot line blank is inviting a corrupt poll worker to fill it in with their preference.

Course I live in a corrupted state that stupidly went to mail in and drop off balloting. Probably less opportunity for cheating by "fixing this empty ballot line." in a lot of other places.

322 They know better than anyone that gaining the House will put a major dent in the agenda most Americans want. I would surmise they are very dangerous and have no limits when the type of extinction they are potentially facing is on the board.

Didn't work in 2016 for them, and their position is a lot worse now.

Evelyn Rothschild who was a good friend to Ghislaine and Robert Maxwell had his scrunt wife take over the Economist (Lynn Forester) which promptly set it on the path to ruin for the same reasons that Missus Steve Jobs did for the Atlantic. Woke social positioning disguising the fact that neither woman had much in the way of accomplishments but gobs of money to buy social status and promote their idiotic woke garbage.

327 Harris Attempts To Blame Trump For FEMA Hurricane Relief Failures

I'd say this an attempt at projection.

Trump, in his personal dealings, oozes empathy.

Harris, if she has any, is directed to groups.

329 Starting with Obama, the Democratic Party was ‘Bought And Paid For By Planned Parenthood.’
Dobbs seems to have left PP gasping.

Teamsters: Democratic Party Is ‘Bought And Paid For By Big Tech Companies.’
You must say the 'Big Tech Companies' have gotten the future of nuclear energy looking up after decades in the wilderness thanks to AI. All in less than a year. And notice the environmental lobby complaining ... crickets
