Do you have two different sets of rules for Democrats and Republicans? That’s on vivid display in American news media presently. It’s on display among our elected leaders, in both parties too. Are moral clarity and consistency just old-fashioned notions?
First up, let’s look at CNN and Jake Tapper:
Now that Biden shuffled off the political stage, it’s safe for big name liberal journalists to write “shocking” details about how serious Biden’s cognitive decline was. This requires us to play along and pretend selective amnesia. These liberal journalist frauds aggressively ran Dem spin narratives to help cover-up Biden’s cognitive decline. They worked to discredit right-wing media reporting on Biden’s cognitive decline while Biden was in office.
Now that it’s politically safe, some of them are trying to cash in penning books on what they actively covered up. Their liberal media friends are yapping up this old news, as if this is some bombshell reporting. This reporting mattered when Biden was in office and liberal media ran Dem spin ops – like calling right-wing reporting “cheap fakes”… Guess we can all see who the real “cheap fakes” are now.
One can only wonder if, at this late date, Tapper cracked the mystery into this CNN story from July 2024, Parkinson’s specialist met with Biden’s physician at the White House earlier this year, records show. :
“Dr. Kevin Cannard, a neurologist at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, met with White House physician Dr. Kevin O’Connor at the White House in mid-January, according to White House visitor logs.”
“Cannard has visited the White House three times this year, according to the visitor logs: A January 17 meeting with O’Connor, and with another staffer on January 26 and March 28. Cannard has visited the White House at least eight times over the past year, according to the logs, beginning late July 2023 and ending with the March 28 meeting. Only the January 17 meeting lists O’Connor as the person who was visited.”
This same discredited liberal news media crowd now want to breathlessly report on Trump’s questionable behavior and potential corruption. And yes, there is Trump questionable behavior and potential corruption, but the liberal news media has zero credibility left.
Trump’s on a splashy Middle East tour with mega-wealthy US business leaders and grabbing headlines, as the Saudis and Qataris strike huge deals with some big American companies. Along with the deals, Trump’s being feted like he’s the King of the World, because the Saudis and Qataris know how to cater to Trump’s ego – lot of flash, lots of gold and the Qatari government wants to gift Trump with a $400 million plane that Trump wants to use as Air Force One. Aside from the massive security concerns with the POTUS flying around in a plane coming from a country, that is a major sponsor of terrorism, there’s no getting around that this is a bribe from the Qatari government. Trump wanting to accept this gift tells the entire world what his asking price is. Trump can try to spin this into it’s a gift to the American people or to the Air Force, but it’s a gift specifically picked to appeal to Trump’s ego – nothing else and it’s totally inappropriate for him to accept this plane. Qatar has allowed Hamas leaders to live in their country and has aided and abetted Islamist terrorism.
When it comes to double standards, Hillary Clinton chimed in on X to express her outrage about the Qatari plane offer, only to have her hypocrisy pointed out:
So, next let’s look at right-wing news media and it’s easy to find criticism about the liberal media years late reporting on Biden’s cognitive decline, but you won’t find much in the way of honest discussion about Trump’s actions. FOX News is a 24/7 Trump cheerleading channel. Most of the right-wing media and pundit class go quiet rather than criticize Trump, as do Republicans in Congress. If any of them dare counter Trump’s policy on anything, the MAGA pundit crowd quickly charges forth with their pitchforks, amid rallying cries that that Congressman or Senator needs to be banished from the GOP in their next primary. The MAGA GOP doesn’t want an inclusive party that allows differing views. They want everyone to blindly go along with whatever Trump decrees right now and when Trump changes his mind two hours from now, they’re supposed to pretend he never made the previous decree and just go with the new Trump decree.
There are some independent news media organizations, but none of them have a huge reach that they can effectively counter the still raging spin information war in America. Liberal (formerly called mainstream or legacy) media lost credibility running the Dem spin information war since the 1990s and Trump defeated them by winning the election in 2024, It was their own dishonesty and hypocrisy that destroyed their credibility.
Right-wing media and pundits currently dominate the spin information war in America-and it’s as thoroughly corrupt and dishonest as the decades of Dem-run spin information war. In the meantime, American media is ripe for hostile foreign information operations to exploit our serious information void caused by unchecked political and media corruption.
We’re watching one major political party in America and their media allies trying to rebuild from the ashes, when their epic corruption fueled by their spin information war burned their credibility to the ground. The MAGA GOP is on a Trump high and right-wing-media and pundits climbed aboard the turbo-charged MAGA spin information war. The MAGA crash will come too, I suspect, and then they’ll sound just like the Dems and liberal media sound now – like total hypocrites and frauds.
That’s our political and media information ecosystem on both sides – corrupt and shameless partisan hacks, who lie to the American people 24/7.
