Diary of disturbing disinformation and dangerous delusions This claim: “The problem we’ve got is that we have to depend upon the media to deliver [our message].” — Rep. Jim Clyburn, Friday We say: The only identifiable message coming from the Democratic Party since 2015 has been “orange man bad,” and mainstream press outlets have been enthusiastically delivering that nonstop.
In fact, the media seem to operate as nothing but a delivery service for Democrat messaging . Own up to the real problem, Dems. Americans have heard your message; they’re just not interested.
This appeal: “I would like to call upon [the European Parliament] to stand firm against another autocracy: The United States of America.” — Nina Jankowicz, Tuesday We say : Look who’s talking! Under President Biden, Jankowicz briefly led the short-lived Disinformation Governance Board, an office tucked into Homeland Security that promised to tell Americans what was fact and what was “disinformation.” That’s a tactic right from the autocrat’s playbook.
Worse, Jankowicz chose to make this breathless plea at a hearing on threats from Russia, a virtual autocracy itself. The gall. This statement: “Anyone who is not prepared to stand up and fight for the Constitution doesn’t deserve to lead.
” — Sen. Chris Van Hollen, Sunday We say: Unbelievable. Van Hollen had absolutely zilch to say about standing up for the Constitution when President Biden violated it by allowing millions of unvetted illegal migrants into the country.
Now that President Trump is following immigration law and booting them, Van Hollen is rushing to El Salvador to hold photo ops with alleged MS-13 members and bloviating about what a constitutional defender he is. This headline: “Exclusive: Cops Writing 15% of Their Red Light Tix to Cyclists, Who are Just 2% of Road Users” — Streetsblog NYC, Friday We say: Hmmmmm. This piece implies cops are tougher on two-wheeled riders than on car drivers, a typical lefty slant.
But a better explanation may be that cyclists and e-bike riders ignore traffic laws at a much higher rate than drivers. For confirmation, just ask any New York pedestrian who’s nearly been run down by a bike on a sidewalk. — Compiled by The Post Editorial Board.
