But when reality unfortunately hits them between the eyes, things take a whole new sense of importance and now they believe they need to inform us how to deal with the circumstances and this is nothing new.

…
It makes one wonder why the American news media has been so careful as to not antagonize terrorists, despite the carnage they continue to inflict on the masses to this day. Do you think it had anything to do with the 2015 attack at the Charlie Hebdo magazine in Paris where the media was specifically targeted? They’re fairly agenda-driven when it comes to mass shooting incidents but when a disgruntled reader attacked a newsroom in Maryland, there was collective mourning that transcended their normal coverage of such events.

Not because it was an unfortunate incident, but because it happened to them.

As of this posting, over 1,100 people have died of COVID-19 in New York City alone but one person’s admitted contracting of the virus has stopped the presses.

The rest of the media is also reacting as expected when it comes to disseminating the bad news.

Those who’re sick and dying from the Wuhan flu are all important. This horrific attack on the nations of the world have all been equally victimized and no one person (outside of elected leaders who are coordinating the response) should be given added importance over another.

And then, I got sick and lost my ability to do my job. I was too sick to even continue the Instagram series from my bedroom. I was suddenly cut off from my purpose, and even isolated from my own husband, left to experience the virus firsthand all by myself. Like so many others.
— CNN’s Brooke Baldwin, 4/19/20

They always make sure to relate to “so many others” while they go on and on about how this now affects THEM.

But now that those who deem themselves more important than the rest of us are affected, the China virus is no longer just an event our self-anointed royalty can check-in from the relative seclusion from their consumers.

While this is a difficult time for everyone, it has been particularly tough on the famous. They have been upstaged by a virus. No one cares what they are wearing or who they are snogging any more; the world’s attention has been diverted by a headline-hogging pandemic. It seems as if some celebrities are starting to grapple with the realisation that they are not quite as important or beloved as they thought they were.

Suddenly it’s very real, the Monday morning quarterbacking will increase and the demands that President Trump and the Coronavirus Task Force amp-up their efforts to find a cure (the media and entertainment industry can and will access first) will crescendo.

We hope ALL who contract the virus recover as soon as possible.

New York Times columnist and CNN contributor Wajahat Ali and ex-GOP strategist Rick Wilson participated in a panel with Don Lemon on Saturday night. They were discussing the recent fight between Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and NPR’s Mary Louise Kelly. During an interview, Pompeo screamed at Kelly and demanded she locate Ukraine, the topic of the initial disagreement, on an unlabeled map.

While discussing the confrontation on CNN, Wilson pivoted the conversation to the president’s supporters and suggested that Trump supporters wouldn’t be able to find Ukraine on a map and that they would label being able to do so as a sign of elitism. Ali and Lemon laughed at Wilson, who used fake a southern accent to sound like a Trump supporter. Ali later chimed in with his own ridicule of Trump backers while Lemon laughed so hard he used a tissue to wipe tears from his eyes.

The written recap doesn’t do the segment in question justice….

If President Trump is so stupid, why is the economy at a historic high and unemployment for all demographics, illegal immigration at historic lows, we’re at relative peace with the world, and despite their best efforts (which would’ve melted the average Republican years ago), he’s STILL in office? How did his stupid supporters see this coming and vote for him despite the informed, intelligent warnings issued by intellectually-superior Democrats and their media? Could it be the president and his supporters are really the smart ones and the pundits are not?

Not if you see Trump supporters the way the liberal elite sees and portrays them.

Try listening to the Democrats line during any episode of CSPAN’s Washington Journal.

Now, that’s funny….

LEMON TWIST

Of course after the backlash, Don Lemon resorted to blame-shifting and the liberal standard That’s-not-who-I-am response. We must accept his… explanation.

New York Times columnist Wajahat Ali is portraying himself as the victim for cover….

Meanwhile, former CNN digital producer Steve Krakauer puts it all in proper perspective.

Sorry, liberals very, very seldom perform honest introspection when on why they lose. Just ask Hillary.

To his credit, “ex-GOP strategist” Rick Wilson is standing by his insults.

Rick Wilson was unapologetic when Cockburn contacted him for comment this morning.

‘Once again, the MAGA tough guy “fuck your feelings” crowd demonstrates that what really drives them is a grinding social anxiety fueled by a weaponized and monetized outrage machine,’ he said. ‘What set the White House off’ was really that ‘Trump hates being called out for his utter ignorance of the world; all the phony outrage at me is just Trump fundraising grifters milking the MAGA herd.’
— Spectator, 1/28/20

The CNN debacle was not an anomaly. It will happen again and again all the way up to Election Day and beyond.

The problem for a Don Lemon without integrity is that Democrats have used race as an election weapon for decades and their messages were clearly meant to invoke fear while their politicians took the same stance on illegal immigrants as Donald Trump. But as long as he doesn’t mention the Democrats’ previous message and inconvenient tactics, it’s like it never happened and that’s just how dishonest, nonobjective pundits like Lemon want it.

CNN’s Don Lemon is the latest, liberal Democrat Stepin Fetchit to push the race narrative and has gone as far as declaring the “biggest threat ” is the “white guy”.

All white people are racist… except the ones you know.
— Bob Parks mocking liberals, 2002

Okay, maybe not all white guys.

Had he worked for a traditional news entity with integrity, Lemon would not have been allowed to call the President of the United States and his supporters racist because Democrats have been far more blatant in their use of race for political gain. Lemon, like MSNBC’s Al Sharpton, knows he won’t be fired because he can play the gay-black discrimination card but since CNN is all-in against anything Donald Trump, anything goes.

Democrats and their media have made a big deal about removing Confederate statues and monuments while leaving out one inconvenient detail: the pro-slavery Confederates were Democrats and the anti-slavery Union were Republicans.

A detail NBC News stupidly assumed would go unnoticed.

It’s obvious why NBC News edited out President Trump’s comments on Ulysses S. Grant.

On April 9, 1865, Confederate General Robert Lee surrendered to Brigadier General Ulysses S. Grant at the Appomattox Court House in Virginia, effectively ending the Civil War. In January 1868, Republicans nominated Grant as their presidential candidate. In the general election, Grant won by an electoral margin of 214-80 and received more than 52 percent of the popular vote. At age 46, he became the youngest president-elect in U.S. history up to that time.

To be fair, NBC News is not the only media outlet that depends on their perceived ignorance of black people. CNN “Stepin Fetchit” Don Lemon is also doing everything he can and has guests on his show who bash anyone who makes the Democrat massah mad.

Kanye West is what happens when negroes don’t read, and now Donald Trump is going to use it and pervert it, and he’s going to have someone who can stand with him and take pictures.
— Bakari Sellers on “Tonight with Don Lemon”, 10/9/18

Using black people for political power they won’t share is nothing new.

Neither are unethical, deceptive edits at NBC News.

Like clockwork, the media continues to use black people and have made this about race.

WaPo: What makes President Trump casually dismiss black pain? White rage.
NY Daily News: We have to question whether fallen Sgt. La David Johnson’s race played a role in Trump’s disrespect
Guardian (UK): A fallen black soldier being disrespected? That’s not an aberration in America
Mic.com: Trump’s words to Sgt. La David Johnson’s widow echo a history of slights to black soldiers

On Monday night CNN’s Don Lemon took it upon himself to not only speak for all blacks, but self-upgraded himself to speak “for the entire country”.

The arrogance of Don Lemon was once again on full display as he not only assumed the moral authority to “speak for the entire country” but did so without knowing all the facts. Was he either with Myeshia Johnson in the limo or President Trump when the phone conversation occurred or is he just taking the word of a manipulative, attention-seeking black congresswoman? Isn’t it the responsibility of the media to get all the facts before pronouncing judgment?

Yes, but this is Don Lemon and this is CNN.

We didn’t have to get to this point but because of an “empty barrel” congresswoman who dragged a Gold Star widow into her narcissistic brand of politics, and it may just take having the recording of the conversation released; the only reason it may have not been to date is out of sensitivity to Mrs. Johnson but it may take the unfortunate shaming of many to bring this all to an abrupt end.

That didn’t last long.

Many websites are now jumping to the conclusion that the whole “emotional Clinton supporter” video segment during a Chicago #antiTrump protest was staged.

If anything, it was a series of timely yet suspicious coincidences….

Yeah, Ryan, you know I used to live there and I know that guy. That’s John Grkovic. He actually went to Africa with me as a cameraman.
— Don Lemon, CNN Tonight, 11/9/16

It turns out CNN anchor Don Lemon knew this “emotional Hillary Clinton supporter” named John Grkovic. Don and John have indeed worked together back in their WMAQ NBC Chicago days.

It turns out John Grkovic has also worked for CNN.

It would be premature to declare this yet another example of media deception and the media normally doesn’t admit to their shenanigans until the outcry is too great to ignore.

It could be as innocent as a CNN camera crew being out on the streets of Chicago during an #antiTrump protest and the reporter calling over a random person to speak with. It could also have been a situation where Mr. Grkovic recognized someone in the crew, said “Hi” to Don during a commercial break, and he was put on the air without his connection being revealed. You know, that matter of “disclosure” thing. Or he and CNN could have arranged this whole thing in order to get that “abolish that inconvenient Electoral College” thing out there; who knows?

But you have to admit, this is one helluva coincidence.
