Generation Failure

OK , boomer .
I hate to make generalizations , but it 's time to admit it : Your generation and the generation you raised are failures .
The generation that gave birth to you sacrificed personal comfort , defeated fascism , held the line against red fascism , conquered polio , fought ( and beat ) Jim Crow , built the greatest economy and a broad-based prosperity unlike anything the world had ever known , and did it all to honor its ( and our ) forebears .
For this it earned the sobriquet The Greatest Generation .
Today @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , political and otherwise – have forgotten about free speech and free discussion .
Media barons who control discourse in our country on a scale never before imagined openly censor information they dislike without a second thought to bedrock traditional values such as free speech .
Meanwhile , the majority of the minions – us – living under these barons crave nothing more than `` safety '' from the discomfort of confronting discordant views or having to think for ourselves .
In the name of safety , be it from disease or dis-ease @ @ @ @ @ @ @ values of Western civilization .
Fearing a virus that by all measures poses less of a risk to young people than numerous maladies endemic to society , we submit to a medical tyranny .
Like the ancient worshipers of Baal and Moloch , to placate an invisible terror we sacrifice our youngest .
The `` Me '' generation that opposed a never-ending war in Vietnam and the COINTELPRO abuses of the national security state now feeds sons and daughters to a military industrial complex that profits from endless wars around the world , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ operatives who subvert elected government .
The broad-based prosperity that distinguished America from other industrial societies has given way to a concentration of power and ownership previous generations would not tolerate .
That is another spectacular failure that can be chalked up to the current generation and its parents , and a crucial one .
Neither the outsourcing of American industry nor the gagging of free speech could have happened without the concentration of ownership of our country 's assets .
Small businesses have been crushed beneath big-box stores and their online equivalent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hire Third World slaves than buy and hire American .
Newspapers are as dead as the dodo , bled of their lifeblood – advertising revenue – by Google , Facebook and Twitter , the evil triplets who would now shape our thoughts to their liking .
Independent broadcasters and studios were snuffed out by the Telecommunications Act of 1996 , championed by Bill Clinton and Al Gore , the first boomers to reach the White House .
The boomers dreamed of a new electronic frontier where massive information power from personal computers and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ direct democracy .
The dreamers refuse to wake up ( are they paid to sleep ? )
and recognize these machines have enabled totalitarianism and groupthink on a scale previously unimaginable .
And it is not just in far off Communist China .
The social credit score system is alive and well in American with the likes of Zuckerberg and Dorsey imposing their code on what we can read and share and who can exchange money .
The hubris of the boomers ' children , our techno overlords , is unlimited .
Forsaking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ confidence in their own intelligence is unlimited .
They actually believe the machines they invent are more perfect than the crooked timber that invented them .
Are they ignorant of the old maxim Garbage In , Garbage Out ?
Like good progressive totalitarians who believe `` experts '' have made democracy obsolete , this generation places its faith in infallible technology , a Savior Machine .
The generation that railed against The Man and The Establishment is now marching in near total lockstep with its children to elect a manifestly corrupt politician .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ conglomerates as senator from the state of Delaware , headquarters and mail drop for some of the largest corporations in the world .
When his patrons wanted to buy labor in the slave market of Red China , Biden swung the auctioneer 's gavel .
And for all 47 years as senator and vice president , Biden traded on his office to enrich himself and his family .

Objective truth does n't matter to leftist journalists anymore .

That statement is completely false , and Cruz was n't about to let @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Except it 's false .

It 's quite amazing that a senior reporter for a widely known news organization can tweet out such an obvious lie with no apparent fear of repercussions .
Anyone who was watching the hearing Tuesday would have known that Cruz did , in fact , ask Barrett several questions about her judicial approach .
Even for those who did n't watch the hearing live , all it takes to disprove @ @ @ @ @ @ @ her children is a quick online search of Cruz 's questions .
Perhaps the most notable of his questions for Barrett was in regard to the need for free speech protections .
`` How about the free speech protections of the First Amendment ?
Why are those important ? ''
Sen. Cruz asked .
Barrett 's answer was incisive and confident , which is likely the reason why left-wing reporters like Peck want to pretend it never happened .
`` So that minority viewpoints ca n't be squashed .
So that it 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ popular views , '' Barrett responded .
`` You do n't really need the First Amendment if what you 're saying is something that everybody wants to hear .
You need it when people are trying to silence you . ''

None of this means that California should cease its efforts to reduce its carbon footprint. But it does mean that California must adopt a more effective, data-based policy for the following reasons:
First, by failing to take sweeping action to address the growing fire risk, the State is actually undermining its climate change goals. The 2018 fires alone released more than 45 million metric tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, producing over nine times the emissions that were reduced in 2017, according to Beacon Economics. This year’s record-breaking fires will further set back California’s efforts.
Second, California government has utterly failed to conduct any cost-benefit analysis in setting its green energy goals. A review of the legislative reports behind the 2018 legislation, requiring 60 percent of electricity to be derived from renewable energy resources by 2030 and setting a goal of achieving 100 percent renewable or zero-carbon electricity by 2045 reveals an utter lack of empirical analysis regarding the goals’ impact on energy reliability or electrical costs. As a result, electricity prices in California have increased five times as fast as the national average since 2011, affecting jobs and incomes.
Separately, the California Independent System Operator has warned the Public Utilities Commission that California risked energy shortages by shutting down traditional power plants in favor of solar power, which can generate 20-25 percent of the State’s supply, but which vanishes in the evening. That prediction came true this year when a prolonged heat wave resulted in rolling power outages. Yet, California advances its renewable energy goals without assuring energy reliability.
Third, our aging energy infrastructure can spark wildfires when stormy or windy conditions damage transmission lines. After all, the equipment that caused the Paradise fire was on a line built in 1921. However, diverting utilities’ resources to develop more expensive green energy sources has left them without sufficient resources to undertake the necessary, but massive, effort to harden their energy infrastructure.
This year’s record-breaking fire season demonstrates that the State needs to take a less doctrinaire and more pragmatic approach toward addressing climate change. This includes the following:

By contrast, in an average year, Florida’s state forest service authorizes 2.1 million acres of controlled fires, according to its agriculture department.

wnd--2020-10-16--That pesky enthusiasm gap

That pesky enthusiasm gap

I 'm sure you 'll be comforted to know Joe Biden is ahead in the polls .
Not just a little bit ahead either ; but way ahead .
Depending on which source you consult , Biden leads Trump by anywhere from 5 to 27 points .
Is n't that nice ?
The pollsters ignore Biden 's many gaffes , of which there are too many to list here .
( Biden wants a $ 15,000,000 minimum wage .
Biden says he 's running for the Senate … again .
Biden on Alzheimer 's : `` If we do not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the next 19 years , every single solitary bed that exists in the U.S. will be occupied by an Alzheimer 's patient . ''
You get the idea . )
The media also ignore and actively suppress Biden 's crime family connections , just like they did Hillary 's scandalous history .
The trouble with Biden 's solid lead and the media 's constant assurance that he 'll win the presidency is that pesky enthusiasm gap .
If only people did n't like Trump so much , Biden would be the clear winner @ @ @ @ @ @ @ again and again and again , Trump rallies are packed to the gills , with thousands standing in line for hours ( or days ) and thousands more turned away for lack of room .
Over 30,000 cars participated in a Latinos for Trump caravan in South Florida .
Meanwhile , Joe Biden 's Miami car parade had only 15 cars participate .
If people ca n't attend a Trump rally to show their support , they make their own .
Rush Limbaugh 's virtual rally was the biggest in radio history , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump car parades form everywhere , but especially in blue states – New Jersey , Illinois , Connecticut , Minnesota , California .
Enormous flotilla boat rallies ( called `` Trumptillas '' ) have sprung up in many areas across the nation , drawing in thousands of water enthusiasts to show their support for the president .
`` Even on the water , flags waved not only for Trump but for the police , for liberty , and for America , '' notes Ellie Bufkin with Townhall ( which includes some wonderful videos @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the media continue to say avid support of American values and the president is embodied only by a 'silent majority , ' throngs of Americans prove each week that they do not intend to be silent . ''
Trump is winning Latino voters .
Trump is winning LGBT voters .
Trump is winning elderly voters .
Trump is winning women voters .
Trump is winning black voters .
Trump is winning the # WalkAway voters .
Trump is gaining Asian voters .
Trump is winning with law enforcement .
Who 's left ?
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ n't even fill a socially distanced school classroom with supporters .
This past week Joe Biden and Kamala Harris had their first official joint campaign event , in Yuma , Arizona .
`` Nobody showed up , '' observed NOQ Report .
`` That 's not hyperbole .
There were n't hundreds or dozens or even a few supporters there .
They had literally ZERO fans come out . ''
But do n't worry ; Biden is ahead in the polls .
This is gaslighting , pure and simple .
The media are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of what our own eyes are telling us , and they expect us to believe what they say .
What accounts for this level of enthusiasm disparity ?
Why are so many people so enthusiastic about Trump and yawning over Biden ?
Quite simply , Trump is a constitutionalist and a businessman .
He 's not a politician .
Trump represents what America was meant to be by our Founding Fathers .
Biden represents what America has become , fulfilling the warnings of our Founding Fathers .
We 've heard tons of stories @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump .
But how many people out there supported Trump in 2016 but are now dumping him to vote for Biden/Harris ?
One ?
Two ?
It also illustrates the desperation of the mainstream media , whose polls do little more than confirm the bias of the pollsters .
Are we supposed to believe Biden will win ?
Yes – but only by cheating , folks .
Only by cheating .
`` With extremely low voter enthusiasm for Joe Biden , '' observes Mike Adams with NaturalNews , `` he can only 'win @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the votes , censoring conservative voices online , destroying mail-in ballots for Trump , encouraging dead people to vote Democrat , and so on .
… [ In ] a fair election , absent any cheating , Trump wins by a landslide .
But that 's why the lawless left is doubling down on their cheating this year , pulling out all the stops to suppress every Trump vote and rig as many fake , counterfeit votes for Biden as possible . ''
[ Emphasis in original . ]
The left is battling @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2016 , when the enthusiasm for Hillary was laughable in contrast to the enthusiasm for Trump .
Trump would regularly draw in 15,000 voters and turn away another 12,000 ; Hillary literally could not fill a gymnasium .
Yet after the election , the Associated Press had the gall to claim , `` Americans emphatically declared their anger at government Tuesday as they elected a political outsider who failed to generate much excitement but offered the prospect of change . ''
Failed to generate much excitement ?
Really ?
This `` failure '' @ @ @ @ @ @ @ anything , even bigger during this election than the last .
Hillary at least hit the campaign trail ; Biden has been hiding in his basement .
But do n't worry ; Biden is ahead in the polls .

Biden ahead in the polls ?
Do n't you believe it .

I'm sure you'll be comforted to know Joe Biden is ahead in the polls. Not just a little bit ahead either; but way ahead. Depending on which source you consult, Biden leads Trump by anywhere from 5 to 27 points. Isn't that nice?
The pollsters ignore Biden's many gaffes, of which there are too many to list here. (Biden wants a $15,000,000 minimum wage. Biden says he's running for the Senate … again. Biden on Alzheimer's: "If we do not find an answer to Alzheimer's within the next 19 years, every single solitary bed that exists in the U.S. will be occupied by an Alzheimer's patient." You get the idea.)
The media also ignore and actively suppress Biden's crime family connections, just like they did Hillary's scandalous history.
The trouble with Biden's solid lead and the media's constant assurance that he'll win the presidency is that pesky enthusiasm gap. If only people didn't like Trump so much, Biden would be the clear winner!
Over and over and over, again and again and again, Trump rallies are packed to the gills, with thousands standing in line for hours (or days) and thousands more turned away for lack of room. Over 30,000 cars participated in a Latinos for Trump caravan in South Florida. Meanwhile, Joe Biden's Miami car parade had only 15 cars participate.
TRENDING: Is this the 'Final Battle'?
If people can't attend a Trump rally to show their support, they make their own. Rush Limbaugh's virtual rally was the biggest in radio history, with approximately 50 million listeners. Huge Trump car parades form everywhere, but especially in blue states – New Jersey, Illinois, Connecticut, Minnesota, California. Enormous flotilla boat rallies (called "Trumptillas") have sprung up in many areas across the nation, drawing in thousands of water enthusiasts to show their support for the president.
"Even on the water, flags waved not only for Trump but for the police, for liberty, and for America," notes Ellie Bufkin with Townhall (which includes some wonderful videos of boat parades). "As the media continue to say avid support of American values and the president is embodied only by a 'silent majority,' throngs of Americans prove each week that they do not intend to be silent."
Trump is winning Latino voters. Trump is winning LGBT voters. Trump is winning elderly voters. Trump is winning women voters. Trump is winning black voters. Trump is winning the #WalkAway voters. Trump is gaining Asian voters. Trump is winning with law enforcement. Who's left? Antifa?
Biden, meanwhile, can't even fill a socially distanced school classroom with supporters. This past week Joe Biden and Kamala Harris had their first official joint campaign event, in Yuma, Arizona. "Nobody showed up," observed NOQ Report. "That's not hyperbole. There weren't hundreds or dozens or even a few supporters there. They had literally ZERO fans come out."
But don't worry; Biden is ahead in the polls.
This is gaslighting, pure and simple. The media are telling us something that runs directly opposite of what our own eyes are telling us, and they expect us to believe what they say.
What accounts for this level of enthusiasm disparity? Why are so many people so enthusiastic about Trump and yawning over Biden? Quite simply, Trump is a constitutionalist and a businessman. He's not a politician. Trump represents what America was meant to be by our Founding Fathers. Biden represents what America has become, fulfilling the warnings of our Founding Fathers.
We've heard tons of stories about people switching lifelong affiliations to support Trump. But how many people out there supported Trump in 2016 but are now dumping him to vote for Biden/Harris? One? Two?
It also illustrates the desperation of the mainstream media, whose polls do little more than confirm the bias of the pollsters.
Are we supposed to believe Biden will win? Yes – but only by cheating, folks. Only by cheating.
"With extremely low voter enthusiasm for Joe Biden," observes Mike Adams with NaturalNews, "he can only 'win' the election by cheating: Rigging the votes, censoring conservative voices online, destroying mail-in ballots for Trump, encouraging dead people to vote Democrat, and so on. … [In] a fair election, absent any cheating, Trump wins by a landslide. But that's why the lawless left is doubling down on their cheating this year, pulling out all the stops to suppress every Trump vote and rig as many fake, counterfeit votes for Biden as possible." [Emphasis in original.]
The left is battling the horrifying possibility of a repeat of 2016, when the enthusiasm for Hillary was laughable in contrast to the enthusiasm for Trump. Trump would regularly draw in 15,000 voters and turn away another 12,000; Hillary literally could not fill a gymnasium. Yet after the election, the Associated Press had the gall to claim, "Americans emphatically declared their anger at government Tuesday as they elected a political outsider who failed to generate much excitement but offered the prospect of change."
Failed to generate much excitement? Really?
This "failure" to generate much excitement is, if anything, even bigger during this election than the last. Hillary at least hit the campaign trail; Biden has been hiding in his basement.
But don't worry; Biden is ahead in the polls.
"The Democrat-media gang-up are truthfully and tragically unaware that their entire 2020 election strategy has already started to backfire on them," observes Judi McLeod in Canada Free Press. "Their hate spewing, name calling and attempted character-assassination of a duly elected president has, in the end, made him The Underdog. It's part of human nature that the masses love underdogs. Not only are the hundreds of thousands who line up to see their president, hundreds of boat and car parades a testament to that, but now Hillary's 'deplorables' are spontaneously chanting to Trump, 'We love you!'"
Over and over again, the left has dismissed Trump's influence, minimized his impact and mocked his message. It apparently never occurred to anyone to gauge the feelings of Flyover Country, that mysterious place full of ordinary working stiffs who have been living under onerous government overreach and taxation for decades. The elites should step outside their ivory towers once in a while. Flyover Country is pretty big.
Biden ahead in the polls? Don't you believe it.


wnd--2020-10-16--Jake Tapper & Tony Fauci gang up on Trump

How does Dr. Anthony Fauci still have a job ?
He 's part of the Inside-the-Beltway Deep State and has attempted to undermine the president since he was elevated to the position of Doctor COVID Know-it-All .
And here is just another example .
Many of us have seen clips of what Trump said at a recent rally – that he loves and appreciates the support he 's gotten so much that he wanted to go into the crowd and kiss everyone .
He added that he could do this because he is now immune from getting the coronavirus .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ him and invited the nation 's top `` expert '' on everything coronavirus , Dr. Fauci , to join Jake Tapper in the Trump bashing .
Still basking in the glow of his 15 minutes of fame , Fauci , I 'm sure , gladly accepted .
Tapper asked Fauci whether Trump was right to say he was immune .
Yet even before Fauci answered , the chyron across the bottom of the screen said , `` Trump Falsely Claims He 's immune , Defends White House Event . ''
Fauci answered , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The problem with the word immune , it means different things to different individuals . ''
No , Dr. Fauci , it does n't – not this time .
Not if you listened to what the president said immediately following his declaration .
Trump was actually quite clear , but evidently Tapper was n't interested in providing any context , and Fauci had no interest in asking for any .
Saint Fauci then added that it 's true the president is immune , but they do n't know for how long .
Now @ @ @ @ @ @ @ journalist , this would have been an opportunity to jump in and repeat what President Trump actually said – that he stated exactly what Fauci said .
Of course , a blind man could see that Tapper is the polar opposite of a real journalist .
And unbiased … please !
A real journalist would have played the entire segment and asked Fauci to merely confirm or debunk Trump 's declaration .
And by the entire segment , I mean all 16 seconds of it .
During the rally , Trump said , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ n't know for how long .
Some people say for life ; some people say for four months .
… '' You can watch it here .
The segment in question runs from 1:24 to 1:40 .
But Tapper is clearly not interested in the facts and the truth .
He and his network are wholly focused on inflicting damage to Trump , and do n't care what they have to do to the truth to achieve it .
Trump went on to do what a leader should – instill confidence , not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people .
During the rally , Trump confidently added that Americans can figure it out .
`` If you do n't feel good about going out – stay , relax .
You know the risk groups .
You know the older people .
… '' We all know that the president has a tendency toward the hyperbolic , but not this time .
Despite his usual blustery tone and mannerisms , what Trump said at this rally was factually correct in every way , while remaining uplifting .
So what was Tapper trying @ @ @ @ @ @ @ same thing they 've been doing since before the president was elected and exactly what the chyron stated – suggesting that Trump is a liar .
And Tapper was betting that no one in his sycophantic , Trump-hating audience watched the rally to know what the president said , including the useless Fauci .
Either way , Jake Tapper knows he has an ally in Dr. Fauci .
And Fauci continues to have no appreciation for the man , President Trump , who , in effect , made him a household name .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ still holds the position he does and why Trump has n't fired him .
For a man who build a television career on firing people , it 's a mystery to me that Fauci , this bureaucrat , has been spared the ax .

wnd--2020-10-16--Regardless of election result, we must  wage a 2nd revolution!

On Oct. 27 , 2020 , my latest book , `` It Takes a Revolution : Forget the Scandal Industry ! ''
goes on sale with all major booksellers .
As of today , it can be pre-ordered on the internet .
For sake of abbreviation , in this column , let 's call it `` Revolution ! ''
`` Revolution ! ''
is a sequel to my autobiography , `` Whores : Why and How I Came to Fight the Establishment !
, '' which was published 11 years ago .
The new book brings current the total collapse @ @ @ @ @ @ @ judicial branches of our federal government , particularly the judicial branch , and calls upon We the People to stop being entertained by the likes of Fox News , to get up off of the couch and get to work rescuing the nation from its near-fatal downward slide .
It is not enough that we wage a counterrevolution to vanquish the evil left , comprised of radicals of all races , ethnicities , colors , creeds and so-called religions ( so-called relates generally to Islam , as genuine religion does not advocate killing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on those who profess to be on our side but who in reality are not , and are instead traitors who are `` in it for themselves , '' not the American people .
Again , federal judges have become the epitome of this .
`` Revolution ! ''
is totally different from other books now on the market , mostly all designed to profit off of the current political season , leading up to the presidential and congressional elections on Nov. 3 , 2020 .
These books generally go through the chamber @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and , like Sean Hannity 's book `` Live Free or Die , '' offer up merely the `` solution '' of reelecting Donald Trump as president .
But to any intelligent person who understands truly what the nation is now facing , and will face in the short , medium and long terms , this falls far short and is much less than sufficient .
The Donald is not the be all and end all , even if he is able to pull off what most think is an uphill battle to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ no political messiah , but would be only a caretaker to temporarily ( for four years ) slightly arrest the onslaught of tyranny being waged by evil leftist forces , the Deep State embedded in our executive branch , the court jesters and criminals in Congress and last but hardly least our compromised federal judges , who are simply the modern-day equivalent of King George III 's cowardly yes-men on the Court of Saint James .
And even if Trump is fortunate enough to be reelected , it is likely that the generally @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the U.S. Senate and not regain control of the House of Representatives .
An even far worse scenario is for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris , his hate-filled pathologically lying witch of a vice presidential candidate , to take control of the presidency and vice presidency .
And let 's not forget that a total takeover of government would set loose the leftist if not Bolshevik animals in the streets of our cities and your hometown to plunder and destroy what little is left of our once-great and powerful country in the wake @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is thus a clarion call to legal arms to wage a second American revolution , before We the People are forced into using other means to put down the evil forces of the left and their comrades .
In addition to the use of citizens grand juries , I put forth other real-world solutions to accomplish our rebellion .
I do not want to give away the revolutionary store in this column , because I want you to read my book .
If you do , you will understand fully that what I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ implemented with all due speed , in the context of the mess that got us to the point of extinction .
Given my years toiling in the bowels of our so-called legal system , reforming and reigning in the federal judiciary must be at the top of our priorities .
In this context , `` Revolution ! ''
was inspired by the greatest of our Founding Fathers and presidents , Thomas Jefferson .
Here is my dedication , which basically says it all : '' 'It Takes a Revolution : Forget the Scandal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ most farsighted of Founding Fathers , Thomas Jefferson .
Jefferson 's superior intellect manifested itself in many ways , as a lawyer , writer , politician , architect , farmer , educator , and most particularly in his common-sense understanding of human nature .
He understood that the new republic would over time enter into another revolutionary state , thanks to the natural evolution of corruption in society .
He forecast that the 'blood of patriots ' would ( again ) inevitably have to be spilled , primarily as the result of a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Jefferson warned that if put in place by the framers of the Constitution , federal judges would become despots as they would be unelected by and thus not answerable to We the People .
This especially rings true today .
My book is thus a clarion call on ways to wage a peaceful revolution and try to avoid Jefferson 's prophecy , which may yet come to pass . ''
So , fellow patriots , first read my book `` Revolution ! ''
– and then let us convene in the place where @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , to reestablish a `` new capital there , '' with a government truly by and for the people , reaffirming our commitment to our Judeo-Christian roots , and get down to business before all finally slips way !
Go to www.freedomwatchusa.org to join our Justice League , sign up for our hard-hitting class actions against the Communist Chinese over COVID-19 and social media , to name just a few , and let 's get down to business !

wnd--2020-10-17--Establishment media buries Hunter Biden story with 9 Minutes, 47 Seconds of coverage over 2 days

As Twitter worked overtime this week to suppress the bombshell New York Post reporting about emails allegedly linking Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden to his son ’ s shady business dealings , network and cable news broadcasts cumulatively gave the story fewer than 10 minutes of air time over two days .
NewsBusters evaluated news coverage on Wednesday and Thursday from ABC News , CBS News and NBC News , and the results are about what you ’ d expect .
The legacy media outlets buried the Hunter Biden email story , as did their allies in left-wing cable news @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and Thursday , October 15 MRC analysts looked at the ABC , CBS , NBC evening and morning shows , plus ABC ’ s and NBC ’ s townhall events with Joe Biden and President Trump , as well as CNN and MSNBC ’ s coverage ( 6am through midnight ET ) .
Out of a total of 92 hours of news programming , there was less than 10 minutes ( 9 minutes , 47 seconds ) spent on the latest scandal involving Joe Biden ’ s son , or less than 0.2 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ NewsBusters reported .
The media watchdog noted that two networks , ABC and CNN , ignored the Biden story altogether .
“ NBC spent just 45 seconds on Hunter ’ s emails .
CBS led the broadcast networks with still a meager four minutes , 28 seconds , ” NewsBusters said .
According to the report , MSNBC “ spent the most amount of time on the latest Biden family scandal coming in with a still insignificant four minutes , 34 seconds of coverage during a 36-hour period.
” While much of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would go to such extreme lengths to keep a potentially damning story for Biden from being read , the establishment media was right on cue helping to ensure the story would die .
The establishment media , which you 'd think exists solely to cover huge stories , somehow didn ’ t find a credible report from one of the country ’ s largest newspapers connecting a presidential candidate to shady payments from foreign corporate entities to be newsworthy .
There is no surprise there .
Emails shared by the Post purport to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Burisma Holdings board adviser , which allegedly took place before Biden bragged about pressuring foreign government officials into firing Ukraine ’ s top prosecutor .
Biden ’ s campaign is actually attempting to cite Twitter ’ s suppression of the reporting as evidence it isn ’ t credible .
“ Twitter ’ s response to the actual article itself makes clear that these purported allegations are false and are not true , ” Biden spokesman Jamal Brown said Thursday .
Still , despite their best efforts , the establishment media , Big Tech @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t make the email story go away .

As Twitter worked overtime this week to suppress the bombshell New York Post reporting about emails allegedly linking Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden to his son’s shady business dealings, network and cable news broadcasts cumulatively gave the story fewer than 10 minutes of air time over two days.
Birds of a feather flock together.
NewsBusters evaluated news coverage on Wednesday and Thursday from ABC News, CBS News and NBC News, and the results are about what you’d expect.

The legacy media outlets buried the Hunter Biden email story, as did their allies in left-wing cable news.
“For Wednesday, October 14 and Thursday, October 15 MRC analysts looked at the ABC, CBS, NBC evening and morning shows, plus ABC’s and NBC’s townhall events with Joe Biden and President Trump, as well as CNN and MSNBC’s coverage (6am through midnight ET). Out of a total of 92 hours of news programming, there was less than 10 minutes (9 minutes, 47 seconds) spent on the latest scandal involving Joe Biden’s son, or less than 0.2% of the available airtime," NewsBusters reported.
The media watchdog noted that two networks, ABC and CNN, ignored the Biden story altogether.
“NBC spent just 45 seconds on Hunter’s emails. CBS led the broadcast networks with still a meager four minutes, 28 seconds,” NewsBusters said.
Want to know how much time @ABC, @NBCNews, and @CBSNews collectively gave the bombshell New York Post story reporting on Hunter Biden's corrupt business dealings? Just over 9 minutes out of 92 total hours. That's 0.2%. https://t.co/4k1El0hFNK — MediaResearchCenter (@theMRC) October 16, 2020
According to the report, MSNBC “spent the most amount of time on the latest Biden family scandal coming in with a still insignificant four minutes, 34 seconds of coverage during a 36-hour period.”
While much of the country expressed shock and dismay that Twitter would go to such extreme lengths to keep a potentially damning story for Biden from being read, the establishment media was right on cue helping to ensure the story would die.
The establishment media, which you'd think exists solely to cover huge stories, somehow didn’t find a credible report from one of the country’s largest newspapers connecting a presidential candidate to shady payments from foreign corporate entities to be newsworthy.
There is no surprise there.
Emails shared by the Post purport to link Biden to a meeting with a Burisma Holdings board adviser, which allegedly took place before Biden bragged about pressuring foreign government officials into firing Ukraine’s top prosecutor.
Biden’s campaign is actually attempting to cite Twitter’s suppression of the reporting as evidence it isn’t credible.
“Twitter’s response to the actual article itself makes clear that these purported allegations are false and are not true,” Biden spokesman Jamal Brown said Thursday.

Still, despite their best efforts, the establishment media, Big Tech and even Biden’s campaign can’t make the email story go away.

If you’re wondering why Joe Biden still won’t say whether he supports packing the U.S. Supreme Court if he’s elected president, it’s because he doesn’t have to. His Democratic Party has been actively transforming state courts into legislative backstops for years – and will undoubtedly pressure Biden to do the same to our nation’s high court, if given the chance.
In states across the country, where Democrats have failed to achieve their increasingly radical agenda at the ballot box, leftist groups have spent millions of dollars installing on state supreme courts liberal, activist judges, who are all too willing to legislate from the bench. In 2020, that means helping to elect Biden president by ignoring critical election security laws designed to protect against voter fraud.
TRENDING: Is this the 'Final Battle'?
Look no further than in battleground Pennsylvania, where Democrats in 2015 seized on turmoil created by three resignations from the state’s highest court and spent millions of dollars to win those seats for liberal judges. The Democratic Party, state and national labor unions, and billboard trial lawyers all chipped in, knowing the stakes – and the opportunities – were high.
The Republican State Leadership Committee led the fight to stop them in an election that would ultimately become the most expensive state judicial election at the time – a record $16.5 million was poured in by outside groups. Democrats recognized how useful a partisan, activist majority on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court would be for their policy agenda and political preferences for years to come.
The outcomes didn’t take long to pay off: This year, that same Democrat majority on the court used the Pennsylvania Constitution’s “Free and Equal Elections Clause” to ignore state law requiring absentee ballots be received by 8 p.m. on Election Day. The court adopted a politics-first interpretation of the law, allowing it to rewrite deadlines that it found inconvenient.
Instead of applying the “received by” deadline statute, a neutral, even-handed rule that applies to all Pennsylvania voters equally, the court created a rule requested by Democrats who believe this outcome benefits their party, and their candidate, politically. Under the Pennsylvania Supreme Court’s ruling, only absentee voters can cast valid votes after Election Day. In-person voters can’t.
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court’s ruling has been appealed by Republicans to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Biden’s Supreme Court shortlist is likely full of activist judges on state supreme courts who have ignored legislatively adopted rules, procedures, and deadlines when it was inconvenient for their politically preferred outcome.
Whether they come from Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Wisconsin, or Ohio, Democrats have been quietly electing partisan, activist judges to state supreme courts across this country. The Republican State Leadership Committee is the only national group fighting on this field in support of the rule of law.
“Elections have consequences.” That’s the refrain from winners in the game of power politics, from Barack Obama to Donald Trump. But we expect those elections to be run according to the rules, procedures and deadlines adopted by legislatures after sober consideration, not stripped of security provisions by partisan, activist judges.
Forgive us if we’re rightfully skeptical that Biden will stand up to the radical left when they ram through Congress an institution-crumbling, court-packing scheme.
