Diary of disturbing disinformation and harmful delusions
These slams:
“[Sen. Ted Cruz] needs to be knocked over the top, like, laborious.” — Rep. Jasmine Crockett, Sunday
We are saying: Crockett’s crew claims she was talking metaphorically however that she opposes precise violence.
But the Democratic congresswoman from Texas can’t cease uttering equally inflammatory outbursts.
Elon Musk must be “taken down.” It’s vital to “punch” Republicans. On Tuesday, video caught her attempting to grab a reporter’s cellphone from him. Some option to oppose violence!
This dodge:
“I don’t consider we’re politically biased.” — NPR CEO Katherine Maher, Wednesday
We are saying: Not biased? NPR pooh-poohed The Put up’s 1,000% correct 2020 scoop on Hunter Biden’s laptop computer and promoted the Russia Hoax.
It downplayed options of a COVID lab leak. Its DC editorial employees have had 87 registered Democrats and 0 Republicans.
Maher herself referred to as Donald Trump a “racist” and “sociopath.” However, nah, no bias there. . .
This assertion:
“[A woman’s] paycheck remains to be smaller than the one a person will get.” — Gov. Kathy Hochul, Tuesday
We are saying: This years-old gripe is supposed to counsel girls nonetheless face office discrimination.
But research have proven that different components (notably a girl’s function in caring for her youngsters) clarify almost the entire pay hole at the moment between women and men. Management for these, and the hole nearly utterly vanishes.
This declare:
“These modifications are actual.” — Columbia interim prez Katrina Armstrong, Tuesday
We are saying: To protect federal funding, Armstrong sought to reassure Staff Trump that Columbia was taking promised steps to combat campus antisemitism.
But she and different brass privately downplayed any modifications. The varsity was truly making “no modifications” to its masks coverage, she actually instructed college, nor was it inserting its Center East Research division beneath “receivership.”
Armstrong was clearly fudging the information — both to her college or (alas, extra possible) to Staff Trump and the general public. Despicable.
