The best way to rate the media is to take it all with a huge grain of salt



12/28/23: Update to yesterday's post:

You may have heard of the website called Political Wire. It's authored by one Taegan Goddard. Looking a bit at this fellow would give the appearance that is a reliable source of information. Not to knock this Goddard fellow, but one would want to give pause to the credentials he claims. Sure, he was educated at the "best" institutions, and has accolades about being the "best" political site out there. One should ask, especially these days, about how much weight these credentials should actually have.

You've got the Harvard scandal at the moment, with respect to the DEI political initiatives. Evidently, credentials can be obtained that way, but how useful would the credentials be if that system has been corrupted?

One story they had on this website was about the "insurrection" narrative that the "credentialed" press keeps pushing out there. The way the comments went on that site would indicate that the readers are primarily of the opinion that it was an insurrection. Never mind the evidence that is accumulating that it wasn't not only not an insurrection, but could have been a set up in order to install Biden as POTUS, while at the same time, disqualifying Trump from ever holding office again.

The facts have been suppressed for three years. The House Select committee held a Star Chamber, and the public was not convinced. However, the matter rages on. Of course, the Colorado Supreme Court weighed in and disqualified Trump on the basis of the alleged insurrection, which hasn't even been charged, must less reached a conviction.

Now the matter goes to the US Supreme Court. One has to wonder how far the rot has progressed. Especially in Washington DC. Can the SCOTUS come up with the correct decision, or will it fumble the issue yet again? If the Court had intervened in the election controversy itself, perhaps much of this could have been avoided. The situation is not entirely encouraging.

end update, the original post is directly below:



I can swear I saw this article on Ground News, but now I can't find it. Anyway, I wanted to see how Ground News rated the article embedded down below. Since I cannot find it, I'll rate it as a fraud. Trump wrote that she called him and was crying on the phone call, not that he was mocking her while she was crying at the funeral. She was thanking him for how well he treated her husband.

Obviously the article below is a political hit, and it is a lie. The Dems cannot win an honest campaign.

Normally I don't write responses to this stuff, but it does show how people can be turned against the guy for supposedly doing stuff that he doesn't do. There is plenty of news articles out that the probably rate this article as having some sort of factual basis to it. The Democrats want to run this campaign directly on anti-Trump propaganda. Not on Biden's record.
