The gold mine that is Berenson v. Twitter keeps spitting nuggets:
It wasn’t just the White House that was after me last year… my fellow members of the Fourth Estate were in touch with Twitter too. (It appears that at some point, Twitter’s Trust & Safety Team turned into the Dealing With Angry Karens Unit, and then it became the Easier To Switch Than Fight Division.)
Without further ado, here’s CNN’s one and only Oliver Darcy, complaining to Twitter in August 2021 that it was “promoting” me. Twitter was doing lots of things to me in August 2021; promoting wasn’t one:
And here’s Ashley Gold, a “tech and policy reporter” at Axios, more or less begging Twitter to jam me.
Ashley and Oliver appear to be firm believers in the ever-popular doctrine of “free speech is for me, not for thee”.
A recurrent theme of Glenn Greenwald's work is that those screaming loudest about stopping misinformation are in fact the ones spreading it the most. Though in their case, it'd more properly be called "regime propaganda."
Back in the day our kids all caught the "like" habit. We used to have "like alerts" and called it out every time they uttered it. Worked a treat, they even did it to each other. All still "like" free. Nowadays it just sounds so passe.
Like when I was a young man in the days of hippies, like they would like use like in every sentence also. I finally realized the reason was that their next word and thought came extra slowly. Apparently partially brain dead from excessive drug use and/or college indoctrinaton.
To the Metaverse and eating bugs and fake meat so that no zinc, no magnesium, no vitamin B complex and no healthy fats get into what ever is left of the brain considering a life with high levels of glyphosate, fluoride, aluminum, mercury and on and on. 😵💫
What is her IQ? Sad, but many graduated from our “esteem” universities and colleges and sound like this. Ever see when Fox goes on campus to ask opinions? They should do more segments to reveal how utterly stupid college students are these days. So embarrassing.
?? Hone means to sharpen or to make something more acute or effective. People use hone in to describe narrowing their focus. Or maybe you were just kidding? 🤷♀️
No, I'm not kidding. The mistake happens because "hone" sounds similar to "home", and has a similar, but different meaning than "home in". "Home in" means to zero in on something, as with a homing device (perhaps it comes from homing pigeon). The phrase "hone in" is used by mistake. Certainly, one can say "hone your skills" or "hone your focus", not to mention hone a knife edge, but to substitute it for "home" in the phrase "home in" is incorrect. Just look it up.
That's a good way to search for it. You may come upon this article delineating the usages. As it mentions near the end, some dictionaries are including the incorrect usages, which seems to happen more and more. Personally, I think dictionaries should hold the line as long as possible against incorrect and less precise usages. Perhaps including all these incorrect usages is part of the equity movement. Perhaps it fits into the larger theme of doublespeak.
No I don't have a PhD in language but I do you have an interest in grammar. In ninth grade I used go after school to discuss it with my hot twentysomething English teacher, Miss Ge_tner. Go ahead and revel in your misapprehension.
It’s not and hasn’t for a long while. My daughter will be 33 and I noticed that back in the 90’s. I tried to teach her as best I could. It was shocking at the time and still is now.
I was just going to write the same thing. Is she 12? Every English grammar and composition teacher she had from 6th grade onward should demand little Ashley retake every class.
That's like totally embarrassing and so not tubular...! ;-)
Alex, I love this stuff. I contributed to your lawsuit (although I expect the settlement more than covered your costs) but this kind of stuff is just gold. I hope you take on the administration and all the other bad actors and bring them all down. Censorship is at the top of the list of bad things the government (and others) can do because it affects all other endeavors.
Precisely - they had to understand that he had the financial support to continue his case. Once they understood that, they knew how damaging his case was and couldn't allow it to continue.
I think they'd rather turn the normally masculine boys, who are too masculine for their liking, into eunuchs. Hence the push to surgically and hormonally turn them into girls. The ones who aren't masculine enough may eventually get there on their own.
Regime court eunuchs! brilliant absolutely brilliant. I'm stealing it, calling it my own.. I will use it on all my friends that don't read this column, thank you.
You are right Alex, bluechecks, not journalists, not reporters. It demonstrates their elitism and that they are clearly on the blue team. It would be so much better for the country if they were on the white / neutral team.
It demonstrates their immaturity and inability to behave like actual adults. I hate when people refer to these clowns as “elite.” We need a new term. Most of them make less than $150K/ year in some of the most expensive cities and their lifestyles are still being supported by mommy and daddy. They are immature children trapped in adult bodies. There is nothing exceptional about them.
Elitist in their own minds only. I regard them as fragile and unable, much less unwilling, to make a compelling and persuasive argument. Yes, immature as you say and quite pathetic really. They are the playground bullies, the mean girls, the tattletales, the complete bores. Nobody wants to be their friend, so they lash out.
Journalists used to be blue collar. They used to challenge power. Those in power, smartly elevated them, so that they feel like equals to the powerful (they are not, but they think they are), so they carry water for the powerful.
I actually feel kind of sorry for them. There's nothing inside-no morals, no principles; just empty panting for approval from cyberspace and the so-called "powers that be". And lots more are being created right now in schools & expensive universities.
Don't know who made that mistake but they are not elite they are self absorbed
" Narcs" Narcissuses. I suppose that population flourished when kids stopped reading in school and played video games instead. No more Greek Mythology,Tolstoy etc. no other options to consider really. Just their Cliff Notes opinion.
School choice. It starts in the schools. It’s perpetuated by the schools. Mediocrity is celebrated in public schools while meritocracy promotes better outcomes.
My kid’s private Christian school of over 1,200 students charges about the same in tuition as our area public school system spends per student, but the private school doesn’t get the hundreds of millions from bonds the public schools get. That even extends to a program at my children’s school that is specifically for children with diagnosed learning disabilities.
My kid’s school has far more socioeconomic diversity, both directions, than the public schools my home is distracted for (my public school district is upper middle class elementary, and middle to upper middle class for middle and high school). Here are some comparisons inclusive of children with learning disabilities at my kid’s private Christian school compared to my neighborhood public schools - I’m comparing this way to control for socioeconomic bias for the entire public school distruct:
Elementary -
My kid’s school has a 100% grade level proficiency rate in reading, math, and science for all grades tested (3-5). They also attend weekly hands on STEM labs, and take classes in media, foreign language, technology, music, religion, and art.
My public elementary school shows grade level proficiency in 45% or fewer students in math, reading, and science (3rd-5th). The public school website for the district boast about how the school district still embraces “balanced literacy” despite literally 3+ decades of research showing “balanced literacy” actually results in high rates of illiteracy and is a pile of 💩.
Middle School -
My kid’s school has a 100% grade level proficiency or higher in reading, math, and science. 65% of 8th graders at my kids’ school qualify for Duke TIPS (which requires scoring 95% or higher on all standardized tests).
My public middle school has only 43% or fewer students who are grade level proficient in math, science, and reading. Only 3% of students at the middle school I’m distracted for qualify for Duke TIPS
High School -
My kids’ school shows 100% grade level proficiency for reading, science, and math. Algebra II, Statistics, and Calculus are minimum requirements for graduation. The school has a 100% graduation rate. The school has a 100% 4-year college acceptance rate, and 90% of students get into every single college/ university to which they apply to. 98% of the students who start 4-year degrees have graduated college within 5 years. Last year there was a 100% acceptance rate but only a 99% 4-year college attendance rate. The one student who opted out of attending college last year did so because he was making over $100K/ year before graduating high school with honors from a business he started when he was 14.
My district public high school, in the top 50% for the entire state of NC, has an AP academy, and has a 91% graduation rate. 42% of students are grade level proficient in math and 55% in reading. 46% attend college at a 4-year university or 2-year community college. After 6 years, 57% of those students have graduated with a 2 or 4 year degree.
We are failing our children as a country. More so everyday. It enables ego maniacs that also happen to be morons to push lie after lie after lie with zero accountability. It makes our country vulnerable to tyranny.
Unless we provide actual opportunities for children to get an education to obtain useful skills, and the confidence to think for themselves, we will not turn the ship around and send the narcissists back to their mommy’s basement where they belong.
I'm curious and would be grateful if you could share a few details. Do you know how many of those 8th graders came up through the elementary school? Or, alternatively, are admissions at the point at which most of those kids join highly selective? If those results aren't primarily a consequence of admitting only kids from the top of the bell curve (in terms of academic readiness), that's pretty impressive, and I'd love to get your advice on finding such a school.
We moved to a "really good" public school district a few years ago and are about ready to send our kiddo to elementary, but we're fearful of the effects of all the insane policies around covid (over for now, thankfully, but I bet they'll push the updated vax) and other politically religious stuff.
Amazing statistics! El gato Malo had a great school choice post. We are choosing a high school now and we are leaning towards leaving Catholic schools(breaks my heart), to attend a Christian school, because of the out comes and DEI and CRT.
We left Catholic too. It was rough. A former public school principal took over, implemented the crappy public school curriculums like “balanced literacy” and Eureka math. Then they let an 8th grader “transition” genders after “sudden onset gender dysphoria.” We couldn’t figure out why we’d keep paying for a public school with uniforms. The Christian school we moved them to is superior in every way. No comparison. With 3 months our only question is why we didn’t start where we are now!! We are incredibly grateful they were out if Catholic for Covid because it was a 💩 show at their old school. The Catholic schools run by the diocese still seem solid, but the parish based/ diocesan schools have gotten really hit or miss.
Take them out of the schools. As a mother of two now in their twenties, I could see the low quality in Canada and overseas, even at the prestigious IB schools… few teachers and professors of real value that taught critical thinking.
Sometimes the elite get sent to labor camps though, so for me I'll continue to call them the elite and keep my fingers crossed and my mouth in motion. Ya never know.
Well, in fairness, they are journalists like mRNA gene therapy is a vaccine, truth is hate speech, Fauci is science, Trudeau is a liberal free democracy, Islam is The Religion of Peace, January 6th was an insurrection, various "autonomous zones" like CHAD are not insurrections, and several other things which have literally been redefined, even in dictionaries in the past year or so to match the communist revolution via Habermass/Marcuse Discourse theory which is shaping our world.
Glad to see some smack backs to this twit and her "Look at me ! I got the 'rona and need to binge watch something !" posts. How nauseating. Her friends must be as deep as a kiddie pool.
It really amuses and frightens me those that use the term 'misinformation', I mean who are these people, usually unscientific non-medical, to determine what is fact or not, usually disputing known qualified respectable doctors and scientists, it is truly astonishing this has been allowed to progress.
most of the news and journalism isn't. it is propaganda, advocacy, political hackery. we must stop using outdated language like media, news, reporter, journalist etc. they harken back to times gone. from now on, the term is "shill."
Most of them appear to have zero interest in investigative reporting. For them, journalism is praxis in the Hegelian sense. Everything must advance the societal goal or it is to be ignored and repressed.
Investigative journalism is why I support Alex and two others on Substack. Most "journalists" just parrot what is handed to them and even then they cannot get it completely correct. I have written press releases for the WSJ and they even screw that up when all they had to do was copy it.
How do people on the Left live with the knowledge that most of what they believe is *exactly* what the very powerful, very influential, gatekeepers of modern media want them to believe? Don't they feel manipulated? Used? Looked down upon?
Pretty easy. Most authoritarian regimes are popular with the people who see or perceive the benefit of the regime policies to themselves. They are much more willing to forgive the “eclxcesses”
Mostly perceived “benefits” based on lies directed at gullible and uncritical masses. Castro’s followers got poverty. PolPot’s got a bullet to the head. Lenin’s got sent to the gulags that they ordered to be built. Mao’s starved to death in mass. Sure, they take everyone down with them, but replication if outcomes show us that beyond those directly in power the masses that follow get their lives destroyed as repayment.
The urban wokies here are getting lots of crime, more taxes, inflation, and uneducated children. And that’s just this far along. If the Democrats maintain control of congress this fall the center city urbanites are going to get all that plus the feeling of freezing this winter like their German buddies.
possibly...and they would richly deserve it. But for the most part the wokies feel they are insulated. Maybe even feel a little hip for living in a tough neighborhood. Criminals are predators, they go for the weak. Maybe a little property damage but that is an acceptable overhead for being on the right side of history.
But there is another group, one I very much observed when I lived on the north side of Chicago. The system might suck but if they can take advantage of the system to their benefit and if they know that they are doing better than the people they dont like who are being screwed by the authorities all is right in their cruel little world.
It's obvious why connected grifters and rent seekers, like Paul Pelosi and Hunter Biden and people in their orbit express the views they do (I'm not convinced they believe anything they say, though).
I'm talking about the true believers, the indebted-sociology-major-making-my-latte-with-the-"I f-ing love science"-buttons types. They're just complete suckers, don't they realize it?
These so-called journalists are like everyone else: TERRIFIED that they'll be wrong. But unlike the average private person, when "journalists" are wrong, they are PUBLICLY WRONG. They not only err, they PRINT, BROADCAST, and otherwise DISSEMINATE their errors. As if to say, "HEY LOOK AT THE WHOPPER THAT I SWALLOWED HOOK, LINE, & SINKER!"
Plus, journalists are lazy. It's just too easy to yack on the phone or send emails.
So I'm not surprised that the "journalists" rallied around the talking heads. Why on earth would they do some actual work? Like research? Like find alternative opinions?
Plus government bureaucrats are "famous." So "journalists" are very impressed--and "HEY! LOOK AT ME! I'M IMPORTANT! This clown with a fancy title TAKES MY PHONE CALLS and ANSWERS MY EMAILS."
They're lazy, phony, and narcissistic.
I know. I worked with them for 35 years.
Alex, keep digging. I'm sure you'll find more email exchanges like the ones you cited here.
These "journalists" (aka - professional political whores) have gotten so much wrong recently, it's unbelievable anyone would believe a word they say, print or otherwise. Guess people like to be lied to all the time.
A key Wall Street Journal Covid panic writer - Brianna Abbott - is all of about 25 years old. She had no background in medicine or science, but her articles appeared constantly on masking, vaccines, lockdowns (advocating of course). She cited proof like "experts have said...." repeating endlessly. I emailed her and pressed for data, she responded but provided none.
There wasn't a hint of skepticism or curiosity in her articles.
The WSJ editorial pages were more data driven and skeptical of public health officials, but the news section was pathetic and contributed to the panic for 2 years.
Once upon a time, if you didn't agree with someone else's opinion, and you felt strongly enough that they were wrong, you would debate them. Put your knowledge cards on the table and issue the challenge. But because we raised an entire generation of mindless pussies all they can do is beg social media platforms to make the bad man go away. Be it covid or climate change or any other weak sauce policy being pushed, it's the same playbook.
This is an extraordinary lesson, and the bottom line in it is that "journalists" are very very very angry that you're disagreeing with the government. Always remember that: The current crop of journalists believe that their job is to speak on behalf of power, and to reinforce official narratives. What a shit-eating way to live, but whatever. Never trust anything they say.
Alex you really are uncovering so much truth. You are a true warrior an amazing person who is fighting for truth. You are so effective the first to really make a difference.
One of the most disappointing aspects of all this has been the behavior of people who call themselves journalists. I was once president of the University of Michigan chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists and graduated with a degree in journalism. There were well-established professional standards for reporting that have obviously been abandoned. Back then, even accepting a free cup of coffee from a potential source was frowned upon. Very sad times now.
I too have a journo degree and am completely embarrassed by what it has turned into. I was taught to ALWAYS present all sides to a story and to NEVER put forth my own opinion. The good ‘ol days. <sigh>
We no longer have a free media. What we have now is an arm of the state doing it's bidding unless Trump or someone else they don't like is in office. I haven't watched Network news in 7 or more years. Why would I when I have Alex to read. We are in a sad state in this country and I have seen it all until now. I wonder when the Villagers will start to go after the monster(Govt). Until folks say enough we will continue down the Yellow Brick Road
With a few exceptions, clearly Alex, journalists live in a proverbial self licking ice cream cone of self adulation and admiration, while managing to hate actual "free speech" and just sloshing around in their own cesspool of excrement of their own making. (can you tell I've lost faith in most journalism?)
So many ugly but necessary discoveries coming out of the Berenson v. Twitter litigation. I am grateful for the few people like Alex Berenson who have had the guts to fight back and stand up for all of our rights.
Covid has been an incredible period of time in our society. Democrats/Liberals are now anti-free speech and pro Big Pharma. When I was growing up I had a shirt that said "Censorship Is UnAmerican." My conservative parents were not crazy about it. Fast forward to now and Liberals would hate that shirt.
Given that we all know today that it was you telling the truth and everyone else in WH & MSM that was spreading mis-information, I would contend they were more afraid of the truth than they were of COVID-19.
Can't it be both? I read somewhere, maybe here on the substack, that we should stop calling people elites and use a more appropriate term: parasites. So there are the parasites in government (doesn't have to be just the feds) and harmful bacteria that follow in their wake (MSM, social media).
So many of the professional fields are toast these days. Journalism, medicine, legal... they have all gone the way of greed and political bias supplanting professional codes of integrity. Frankly, the professional class as devolved into a mess of justified immorality.
Meanwhile those irredeemable deplorable blue-collar workers still go to church on Sunday and care for their neighbor.
What happened to this concept of free speech in America?:
"Those who created this country chose freedom. With all of its dangers. And do you know the riskiest part of that choice they made? They actually believed that we could be trusted to make up our own minds in the whirl of differing ideas. That we could be trusted to remain free, even when there were very, very seductive voices - taking advantage of our freedom of speech - who were trying to turn this country into the kind of place where the government could tell you what you can and cannot do."
- Nat Hentoff
I think these scumbags are all running for an amorphous cliff; we should define the slope.
So, what are the annual dues for The Committee to Suppress Real Journalism that these two support and did they get an autographed photo of Jack Dorsey to commemorate their fake respect for the 1st Amendment?
What it looks like is anti-competitive behavior. Two people in your field, competing with you for clicks and ad revenue and followers, asking a third party to deprive you of your right to free speech (which just so happens to be your platform for promoting your brand)? They got away with it because they accused you of offending Saint Corona; I wonder what would have happened if they had called you a racist, misogynist, climate change denier, etc.
Well Alex, between you, Robert Malone and Rand Paul it would seem the mis / dis / mal - information market is cornered. Bottle it and sell .. !! Seriously, what is hilarious is almost everything you all have said was labeled as wrong, turns out to be right. Yet there remains zero humility or reflection within the MSM, public health, government in general and especially big pharma. Why is that? Are these people really that stupid or maybe there is an alternate agenda at play here? Like reducing the global population to do a major economic, social and cultural reset? I'm not smart enough to know but whatever it is, I want no part of it. To survive, we must pray, plan, prepare and RESIST.
I posted this comment on your previous article, but it applies here as well. They might not like you or your reporting, but it is much bigger and more personal than that, imo.
*************************************
The media's silence about your case, the settlement with Twitter, and your reinstatement may be personal. You are certainly provocative and, at times, obnoxious. You are likely seen as a turncoat. And DJT has caused the media to lose its collective mind.
IMO, however, the silence about the "vaccines" in the mainstream media and social media is personal for them. The majority of them took multiple injections of the "vaccines". They convinced their family members and children to get them. They shunned family and friends who refused to be jabbed. They were proud and obnoxiously self-righteous about their decisions.
And they were wrong.
It took nearly a year for the Zeitgeist to accept the jabs didn't stop infection or transmission of the virus (even though Rochelle admitted the jabs didn't stop infection or transmission to Blitzer on CNN in early August 2021). They knew the rationale for the mandates (stopping the spread) was falsified before the first mandate was enacted.
IMO, they will never be able to admit that they've been injected multiple times...that they've pushed their children to be injected multiple times...with a ticking time bomb that may go off at any time for who knows how long. Once vaccinated, always vaccinated.
They cannot acknowledge that they screwed up.
They're too scared.
Cognitive dissonance has become a way of life.
Have you seen the Society of Actuaries Research Institute Group Life COVID-19 Mortality Survey Report (AUGUST | 2022) that Edward Dowd put up last week?
The "experts" know what is coming. They failed to jab us all, so there is a control group of sorts. The CDC quietly removed the claim that the mRNA and spike protein don't last long in the body. They are holding back data on all cause mortality.
The people who were their propagandists are compromised by personal choice and fear.
I learned in third grade that what was great about America is that our Constitution upheld Free Speech- Democrats were firm believers of this,...what changed? Anyone with minimal intelligence understands that Science is all about questioning a hyposthesis, experimenting, trying to prove a truth. To shut down anyone opposing Herr Fauci- who was wrong on almost everything ( I assume to cover his ass about being the reason Covid even happened) is NOT Science, it is a dictatorship, which is what , unfortunately, our government (and our supposedly free online "press") did for two years.
“What is really at issue is the right to report contemporary events truthfully or as truthfully as is consistent with the ignorance, bias and self-deception from which every observer necessarily suffers”
George Orwell
We are all capable of being wrong even when honestly believing something is true. Journalism has abandoned the pretense of truth and embraced ideology as unquestionable. The sad thing is they have embraced a hatred so powerful it justifies and encourages lying to obtain the nirvana they so fervently seek.
The majority have been biased since the 70s. I’d have empathy for you, however, you were blind to their biases and agendas while at the NYT/after, for far too long. And now that it’s aimed at you, you’re awakened.
Same, not to mention he was adamant that covid vaccines could be legally mandated, citing Jacobsen case (which I would argue is distinct from covid in numerous ways).
The extreme environmentalists have always had depopulation on their minds. "There are too many people on the planet that are wrecking the environment!!"I first encountered it at a Dartmouth debate camp in 1995. The attitude of the young lady was we need to "delife" you but not me!!
"Like, I don't even know which one to send you..."
Do all journalists write like middle school valley girls? Whatevs, gag me with a spoon, they're totally gross.
😂🤣
As if.....
A recurrent theme of Glenn Greenwald's work is that those screaming loudest about stopping misinformation are in fact the ones spreading it the most. Though in their case, it'd more properly be called "regime propaganda."
Sad and pathetic.
Maaaaaaany
How does someone write an email like that? The immature tone from a thirty year old professional is amazing.
sad and pathetic...because as I read this Ashley person, clearly she believes The Narrative
Well, perhaps she's not an INVESTIGATIVE journalist 🤣
I know, right?
Haha! So true. To actually write like that? A person might speak that way, but write...????
Just imagine how many times she must inject "like" into her speech.
I bet she can't get a sentence out without three or four at least.
Like pure ignorance.
For realz!
Ok, I gotta go here.... I’m sure in intimate settings she is ”Like, are you done? Like it’s my turn for the big O.”
Back in the day our kids all caught the "like" habit. We used to have "like alerts" and called it out every time they uttered it. Worked a treat, they even did it to each other. All still "like" free. Nowadays it just sounds so passe.
Like when I was a young man in the days of hippies, like they would like use like in every sentence also. I finally realized the reason was that their next word and thought came extra slowly. Apparently partially brain dead from excessive drug use and/or college indoctrinaton.
“OMG! Like, fer sure!”
You know she's an "uptalker"
And never going to make “fetch” happen.
This one time?...At band camp? 😁🤦♀️🤮
She thinks and writes in Twitter speak.
Like.......totally....... what’s the prob? 😂
She’s probably a 23 year old Spanish major fact checker. Even if she’s 36.
Oh my gaaahwd, what a totally rad post!
these people think they are law enforcement.
Honestly, this kind of behavior is destructive and abusive to innocent law abiding people
Yeah. Next ya know they'll be armed like the 87k new IRS agents.
Wonder who those agents are coming for?
Honestly, I don’t know how they could hire that many! As Bongino noted - that’s more than most military army’s not just here but in other countries.
How many mask Karen's were there? That's you answer. Those will be the people seeking those jobs.
There's plenty.
No doubt, but 87k of them! Hard to wrap my head around that!
I completely agree with you!
Because they're connected, not educated.
...connected to what though?? Seems like a lost of loose ends are flying around in their heads.
To the Metaverse and eating bugs and fake meat so that no zinc, no magnesium, no vitamin B complex and no healthy fats get into what ever is left of the brain considering a life with high levels of glyphosate, fluoride, aluminum, mercury and on and on. 😵💫
Connected by way of family, friendships formed at the "right" schools.
What is her IQ? Sad, but many graduated from our “esteem” universities and colleges and sound like this. Ever see when Fox goes on campus to ask opinions? They should do more segments to reveal how utterly stupid college students are these days. So embarrassing.
And they should ask the professors those questions as well! That would be telling!
Beat me to it by 2 hours. And you know it sounds like "leyyyke"
Yeah, she is like, totally, suffering from, like, Caroline Kennedy Syndrome. Like, totally you guys.
Prob a BWG who's jeli, obvi.
IMA learn a lotta new lingo from this thread.
Obvi!!
Tru dat.
Actual English grammar isn't taught any more.
Every once in a while I see someone use the correct phrase, "home in", instead of the ignorant version, "hone in".
?? Hone means to sharpen or to make something more acute or effective. People use hone in to describe narrowing their focus. Or maybe you were just kidding? 🤷♀️
No, I'm not kidding. The mistake happens because "hone" sounds similar to "home", and has a similar, but different meaning than "home in". "Home in" means to zero in on something, as with a homing device (perhaps it comes from homing pigeon). The phrase "hone in" is used by mistake. Certainly, one can say "hone your skills" or "hone your focus", not to mention hone a knife edge, but to substitute it for "home" in the phrase "home in" is incorrect. Just look it up.
Hmmm... Did not know that. I'm gonna have to hone in on the answer to this one to find out for sure.
That's a good way to search for it. You may come upon this article delineating the usages. As it mentions near the end, some dictionaries are including the incorrect usages, which seems to happen more and more. Personally, I think dictionaries should hold the line as long as possible against incorrect and less precise usages. Perhaps including all these incorrect usages is part of the equity movement. Perhaps it fits into the larger theme of doublespeak.
https://www.dictionary.com/e/hone-in-vs-home-in/
Sounds like you must have a PhD in Language Arts? I'll stick with my own vocabulum.
No I don't have a PhD in language but I do you have an interest in grammar. In ninth grade I used go after school to discuss it with my hot twentysomething English teacher, Miss Ge_tner. Go ahead and revel in your misapprehension.
Or someone who knows that certain foods may appeal to a certain "palate", as opposed to "palette".
It’s not and hasn’t for a long while. My daughter will be 33 and I noticed that back in the 90’s. I tried to teach her as best I could. It was shocking at the time and still is now.
I was just going to write the same thing. Is she 12? Every English grammar and composition teacher she had from 6th grade onward should demand little Ashley retake every class.
That's like totally embarrassing and so not tubular...! ;-)
Hah! Brilliant! Excuse me: “Totes awesome!”
They're mostly girls and homosexuals, demographically speaking. Such is their speech pattern.
Alex, I love this stuff. I contributed to your lawsuit (although I expect the settlement more than covered your costs) but this kind of stuff is just gold. I hope you take on the administration and all the other bad actors and bring them all down. Censorship is at the top of the list of bad things the government (and others) can do because it affects all other endeavors.
Go get'em.
Without the donations, he may never have gotten the settlement, though, so I'm sure he appreciates it.
Precisely - they had to understand that he had the financial support to continue his case. Once they understood that, they knew how damaging his case was and couldn't allow it to continue.
You hit the nail on the head with that one.
Whatever help my donation may have been, these peeks behind the slime covered curtain are a nice little dividend.
So did I! And I'm ready to do it again...!
Hell yes! Name 'em and shame 'em And if they have no shame, may they learn some the hard way.
They are not journalists, they are regime court eunuchs https://yuribezmenov.substack.com/p/how-to-groom-commissars
They certainly support turning little boys who aren’t masculine enough for their liking into eunuchs!!!!!
I think they'd rather turn the normally masculine boys, who are too masculine for their liking, into eunuchs. Hence the push to surgically and hormonally turn them into girls. The ones who aren't masculine enough may eventually get there on their own.
Using “regime court eunuchs”. Thanks
ding ding ding
Regime court eunuchs! brilliant absolutely brilliant. I'm stealing it, calling it my own.. I will use it on all my friends that don't read this column, thank you.
Although (if I may be partisan for a moment), we used to just call men like that Democrats. (Sadly, there are a few RINOS, too...)
Not just unAmerican, these journalists are anti-American. Disgusting, but not surprising.
You are right Alex, bluechecks, not journalists, not reporters. It demonstrates their elitism and that they are clearly on the blue team. It would be so much better for the country if they were on the white / neutral team.
It demonstrates their immaturity and inability to behave like actual adults. I hate when people refer to these clowns as “elite.” We need a new term. Most of them make less than $150K/ year in some of the most expensive cities and their lifestyles are still being supported by mommy and daddy. They are immature children trapped in adult bodies. There is nothing exceptional about them.
Elitist in their own minds only. I regard them as fragile and unable, much less unwilling, to make a compelling and persuasive argument. Yes, immature as you say and quite pathetic really. They are the playground bullies, the mean girls, the tattletales, the complete bores. Nobody wants to be their friend, so they lash out.
Overeducated, useless people. Probably have gender studies degrees.
Journalists used to be blue collar. They used to challenge power. Those in power, smartly elevated them, so that they feel like equals to the powerful (they are not, but they think they are), so they carry water for the powerful.
I knew someone that used to say "educated beyond your intelligence"
Good one! I wouldn't say they are educate, though. Most of them have teflon brains when it comes to learning.
I actually feel kind of sorry for them. There's nothing inside-no morals, no principles; just empty panting for approval from cyberspace and the so-called "powers that be". And lots more are being created right now in schools & expensive universities.
Absolutely NCmom,
Don't know who made that mistake but they are not elite they are self absorbed
" Narcs" Narcissuses. I suppose that population flourished when kids stopped reading in school and played video games instead. No more Greek Mythology,Tolstoy etc. no other options to consider really. Just their Cliff Notes opinion.
They had to be told what to think.
How are we going to recover?
School choice. It starts in the schools. It’s perpetuated by the schools. Mediocrity is celebrated in public schools while meritocracy promotes better outcomes.
My kid’s private Christian school of over 1,200 students charges about the same in tuition as our area public school system spends per student, but the private school doesn’t get the hundreds of millions from bonds the public schools get. That even extends to a program at my children’s school that is specifically for children with diagnosed learning disabilities.
My kid’s school has far more socioeconomic diversity, both directions, than the public schools my home is distracted for (my public school district is upper middle class elementary, and middle to upper middle class for middle and high school). Here are some comparisons inclusive of children with learning disabilities at my kid’s private Christian school compared to my neighborhood public schools - I’m comparing this way to control for socioeconomic bias for the entire public school distruct:
Elementary -
My kid’s school has a 100% grade level proficiency rate in reading, math, and science for all grades tested (3-5). They also attend weekly hands on STEM labs, and take classes in media, foreign language, technology, music, religion, and art.
My public elementary school shows grade level proficiency in 45% or fewer students in math, reading, and science (3rd-5th). The public school website for the district boast about how the school district still embraces “balanced literacy” despite literally 3+ decades of research showing “balanced literacy” actually results in high rates of illiteracy and is a pile of 💩.
Middle School -
My kid’s school has a 100% grade level proficiency or higher in reading, math, and science. 65% of 8th graders at my kids’ school qualify for Duke TIPS (which requires scoring 95% or higher on all standardized tests).
My public middle school has only 43% or fewer students who are grade level proficient in math, science, and reading. Only 3% of students at the middle school I’m distracted for qualify for Duke TIPS
High School -
My kids’ school shows 100% grade level proficiency for reading, science, and math. Algebra II, Statistics, and Calculus are minimum requirements for graduation. The school has a 100% graduation rate. The school has a 100% 4-year college acceptance rate, and 90% of students get into every single college/ university to which they apply to. 98% of the students who start 4-year degrees have graduated college within 5 years. Last year there was a 100% acceptance rate but only a 99% 4-year college attendance rate. The one student who opted out of attending college last year did so because he was making over $100K/ year before graduating high school with honors from a business he started when he was 14.
My district public high school, in the top 50% for the entire state of NC, has an AP academy, and has a 91% graduation rate. 42% of students are grade level proficient in math and 55% in reading. 46% attend college at a 4-year university or 2-year community college. After 6 years, 57% of those students have graduated with a 2 or 4 year degree.
We are failing our children as a country. More so everyday. It enables ego maniacs that also happen to be morons to push lie after lie after lie with zero accountability. It makes our country vulnerable to tyranny.
Unless we provide actual opportunities for children to get an education to obtain useful skills, and the confidence to think for themselves, we will not turn the ship around and send the narcissists back to their mommy’s basement where they belong.
I'm curious and would be grateful if you could share a few details. Do you know how many of those 8th graders came up through the elementary school? Or, alternatively, are admissions at the point at which most of those kids join highly selective? If those results aren't primarily a consequence of admitting only kids from the top of the bell curve (in terms of academic readiness), that's pretty impressive, and I'd love to get your advice on finding such a school.
We moved to a "really good" public school district a few years ago and are about ready to send our kiddo to elementary, but we're fearful of the effects of all the insane policies around covid (over for now, thankfully, but I bet they'll push the updated vax) and other politically religious stuff.
Amazing statistics! El gato Malo had a great school choice post. We are choosing a high school now and we are leaning towards leaving Catholic schools(breaks my heart), to attend a Christian school, because of the out comes and DEI and CRT.
We left Catholic too. It was rough. A former public school principal took over, implemented the crappy public school curriculums like “balanced literacy” and Eureka math. Then they let an 8th grader “transition” genders after “sudden onset gender dysphoria.” We couldn’t figure out why we’d keep paying for a public school with uniforms. The Christian school we moved them to is superior in every way. No comparison. With 3 months our only question is why we didn’t start where we are now!! We are incredibly grateful they were out if Catholic for Covid because it was a 💩 show at their old school. The Catholic schools run by the diocese still seem solid, but the parish based/ diocesan schools have gotten really hit or miss.
I have to say that the Elite Catholic girls high school in our town went super woke. I think that maybe less true of "middle class" Catholic ed.
Take them out of the schools. As a mother of two now in their twenties, I could see the low quality in Canada and overseas, even at the prestigious IB schools… few teachers and professors of real value that taught critical thinking.
Frontal lobed challenged? We can call them FLCs for short.
Sometimes the elite get sent to labor camps though, so for me I'll continue to call them the elite and keep my fingers crossed and my mouth in motion. Ya never know.
How about effete? 1) lacking in wholesome vigor; degenerate; decadent:
2) exhausted of vigor or energy; worn out:
3) unable to produce; sterile.
Ashley Gold and Oliver Darcy are not journalists.
Well, in fairness, they are journalists like mRNA gene therapy is a vaccine, truth is hate speech, Fauci is science, Trudeau is a liberal free democracy, Islam is The Religion of Peace, January 6th was an insurrection, various "autonomous zones" like CHAD are not insurrections, and several other things which have literally been redefined, even in dictionaries in the past year or so to match the communist revolution via Habermass/Marcuse Discourse theory which is shaping our world.
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=vladtepesblog/ifyrogmm&utm_source=studio
Outstanding. Love it. These folks don't realize that Geo Orwell's 1984 was not a "how-to" manual.
The really evil ones DO understand that, and use it that way anyway
More like the movie Idiocracy has become a documentary, I think!
Or like how Jill Biden is a "Doctor".
Ha!
"Well, in fairness, they are journalists like mRNA gene therapy is a vaccine, ..." . . . like Lia Thomas is a woman.
Another big one is "safe", redefined by The Science long ago.
Normal people still think of safe in absolute terms. But The Science uses the term in relative terms, which they decide the constraints for.
I think he means in the sense of NAICS or SIC codes, not in the sense of whether they live up to the job title.
Journalismists
All Knowing Ashley Gold has Covid rn, joining V’d & sick trend. Tyrants learn the hard way 🤷♀️
https://twitter.com/ashleyrgold/status/1559539884448251904?s=21&t=1O3514oZa7ZYfaDGk8o_Yg
Glad to see some smack backs to this twit and her "Look at me ! I got the 'rona and need to binge watch something !" posts. How nauseating. Her friends must be as deep as a kiddie pool.
Well that confirms the valley girl thing
She's "like the First Lady". Yeah, pretty much.
Oops. Looks like she made her account private, probably because of all you big meanies. I hope you're happy with yourselves!!!
It really amuses and frightens me those that use the term 'misinformation', I mean who are these people, usually unscientific non-medical, to determine what is fact or not, usually disputing known qualified respectable doctors and scientists, it is truly astonishing this has been allowed to progress.
This has really gotten so out-of-hand......
The qualified respected scientists and doctors were squashed in the same way Twitter attacked Alex.
most of the news and journalism isn't. it is propaganda, advocacy, political hackery. we must stop using outdated language like media, news, reporter, journalist etc. they harken back to times gone. from now on, the term is "shill."
I use 'presstitutes', but worry about the negative connotation bleeding over to prostitutes.
Most of them appear to have zero interest in investigative reporting. For them, journalism is praxis in the Hegelian sense. Everything must advance the societal goal or it is to be ignored and repressed.
Investigative journalism is why I support Alex and two others on Substack. Most "journalists" just parrot what is handed to them and even then they cannot get it completely correct. I have written press releases for the WSJ and they even screw that up when all they had to do was copy it.
Disgraceful.
How do people on the Left live with the knowledge that most of what they believe is *exactly* what the very powerful, very influential, gatekeepers of modern media want them to believe? Don't they feel manipulated? Used? Looked down upon?
Pretty easy. Most authoritarian regimes are popular with the people who see or perceive the benefit of the regime policies to themselves. They are much more willing to forgive the “eclxcesses”
Mostly perceived “benefits” based on lies directed at gullible and uncritical masses. Castro’s followers got poverty. PolPot’s got a bullet to the head. Lenin’s got sent to the gulags that they ordered to be built. Mao’s starved to death in mass. Sure, they take everyone down with them, but replication if outcomes show us that beyond those directly in power the masses that follow get their lives destroyed as repayment.
The urban wokies here are getting lots of crime, more taxes, inflation, and uneducated children. And that’s just this far along. If the Democrats maintain control of congress this fall the center city urbanites are going to get all that plus the feeling of freezing this winter like their German buddies.
possibly...and they would richly deserve it. But for the most part the wokies feel they are insulated. Maybe even feel a little hip for living in a tough neighborhood. Criminals are predators, they go for the weak. Maybe a little property damage but that is an acceptable overhead for being on the right side of history.
But there is another group, one I very much observed when I lived on the north side of Chicago. The system might suck but if they can take advantage of the system to their benefit and if they know that they are doing better than the people they dont like who are being screwed by the authorities all is right in their cruel little world.
It's obvious why connected grifters and rent seekers, like Paul Pelosi and Hunter Biden and people in their orbit express the views they do (I'm not convinced they believe anything they say, though).
I'm talking about the true believers, the indebted-sociology-major-making-my-latte-with-the-"I f-ing love science"-buttons types. They're just complete suckers, don't they realize it?
It's a class war!
These so-called journalists are like everyone else: TERRIFIED that they'll be wrong. But unlike the average private person, when "journalists" are wrong, they are PUBLICLY WRONG. They not only err, they PRINT, BROADCAST, and otherwise DISSEMINATE their errors. As if to say, "HEY LOOK AT THE WHOPPER THAT I SWALLOWED HOOK, LINE, & SINKER!"
Plus, journalists are lazy. It's just too easy to yack on the phone or send emails.
So I'm not surprised that the "journalists" rallied around the talking heads. Why on earth would they do some actual work? Like research? Like find alternative opinions?
Plus government bureaucrats are "famous." So "journalists" are very impressed--and "HEY! LOOK AT ME! I'M IMPORTANT! This clown with a fancy title TAKES MY PHONE CALLS and ANSWERS MY EMAILS."
They're lazy, phony, and narcissistic.
I know. I worked with them for 35 years.
Alex, keep digging. I'm sure you'll find more email exchanges like the ones you cited here.
These "journalists" (aka - professional political whores) have gotten so much wrong recently, it's unbelievable anyone would believe a word they say, print or otherwise. Guess people like to be lied to all the time.
The more that comes out, the more appalling it becomes. The corporate fourth estate is basically dead. Please keep on trucking Alex.
A key Wall Street Journal Covid panic writer - Brianna Abbott - is all of about 25 years old. She had no background in medicine or science, but her articles appeared constantly on masking, vaccines, lockdowns (advocating of course). She cited proof like "experts have said...." repeating endlessly. I emailed her and pressed for data, she responded but provided none.
There wasn't a hint of skepticism or curiosity in her articles.
The WSJ editorial pages were more data driven and skeptical of public health officials, but the news section was pathetic and contributed to the panic for 2 years.
Once upon a time, if you didn't agree with someone else's opinion, and you felt strongly enough that they were wrong, you would debate them. Put your knowledge cards on the table and issue the challenge. But because we raised an entire generation of mindless pussies all they can do is beg social media platforms to make the bad man go away. Be it covid or climate change or any other weak sauce policy being pushed, it's the same playbook.
All Knowing Ashley Gold 6 mins into team Berenson: “tweets are protected” 🤣
Yep. Noticed that. She has to throw up the protective bubble to keep those WrongThinkers out.
"All animals are equal, although some animals are more equal than others."
This is an extraordinary lesson, and the bottom line in it is that "journalists" are very very very angry that you're disagreeing with the government. Always remember that: The current crop of journalists believe that their job is to speak on behalf of power, and to reinforce official narratives. What a shit-eating way to live, but whatever. Never trust anything they say.
Alex you really are uncovering so much truth. You are a true warrior an amazing person who is fighting for truth. You are so effective the first to really make a difference.
One of the most disappointing aspects of all this has been the behavior of people who call themselves journalists. I was once president of the University of Michigan chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists and graduated with a degree in journalism. There were well-established professional standards for reporting that have obviously been abandoned. Back then, even accepting a free cup of coffee from a potential source was frowned upon. Very sad times now.
Doctors and journalists haven't exactly covered themselves in glory the last 2.5 years, have they?
Politicians haven't changed, much, though...
I too have a journo degree and am completely embarrassed by what it has turned into. I was taught to ALWAYS present all sides to a story and to NEVER put forth my own opinion. The good ‘ol days. <sigh>
We no longer have a free media. What we have now is an arm of the state doing it's bidding unless Trump or someone else they don't like is in office. I haven't watched Network news in 7 or more years. Why would I when I have Alex to read. We are in a sad state in this country and I have seen it all until now. I wonder when the Villagers will start to go after the monster(Govt). Until folks say enough we will continue down the Yellow Brick Road
The presstitutes have been captured for a long time. The real journalists are on places like this.
"Journalism is an action, not a profession."
Excuse me for blowing up your email? How often do journalists email Twitter? Are they behind most accounts being censored?
With a few exceptions, clearly Alex, journalists live in a proverbial self licking ice cream cone of self adulation and admiration, while managing to hate actual "free speech" and just sloshing around in their own cesspool of excrement of their own making. (can you tell I've lost faith in most journalism?)
RG you win the internet today. For this post and having the same initials!...:)
Thanks brother!
So many ugly but necessary discoveries coming out of the Berenson v. Twitter litigation. I am grateful for the few people like Alex Berenson who have had the guts to fight back and stand up for all of our rights.
Covid has been an incredible period of time in our society. Democrats/Liberals are now anti-free speech and pro Big Pharma. When I was growing up I had a shirt that said "Censorship Is UnAmerican." My conservative parents were not crazy about it. Fast forward to now and Liberals would hate that shirt.
Given that we all know today that it was you telling the truth and everyone else in WH & MSM that was spreading mis-information, I would contend they were more afraid of the truth than they were of COVID-19.
In the US, and much of the western world, the Fourth Estate acts more like the Fifth Column
We skipped socialism and went straight to Totalitarianism.
Can't it be both? I read somewhere, maybe here on the substack, that we should stop calling people elites and use a more appropriate term: parasites. So there are the parasites in government (doesn't have to be just the feds) and harmful bacteria that follow in their wake (MSM, social media).
Nice! I agree. But if you compare the definitions you will see that the media is captured in the later.
I would say the media is not only captured; they are actually the tail wagging the dog...know what I mean?
It's a feedback loop between the Elites and the bureaucratic set. It's dangerous.
We The People need to tell these profligate parasites who has the POWER!
"Just wondering, could you please, shut up this heretic who is refuting what we believe."
They're not journalists. They're useful idiots without mirrors.
So many of the professional fields are toast these days. Journalism, medicine, legal... they have all gone the way of greed and political bias supplanting professional codes of integrity. Frankly, the professional class as devolved into a mess of justified immorality.
Meanwhile those irredeemable deplorable blue-collar workers still go to church on Sunday and care for their neighbor.
Little Marxist scumbags begging twitter to destroy their competition for capitalistic gains.
Show em' who's boss Alex!
I feel like this is the tip of the iceberg?!
What happened to this concept of free speech in America?:
"Those who created this country chose freedom. With all of its dangers. And do you know the riskiest part of that choice they made? They actually believed that we could be trusted to make up our own minds in the whirl of differing ideas. That we could be trusted to remain free, even when there were very, very seductive voices - taking advantage of our freedom of speech - who were trying to turn this country into the kind of place where the government could tell you what you can and cannot do."
- Nat Hentoff
I think these scumbags are all running for an amorphous cliff; we should define the slope.
They're falling; we should push.
So, what are the annual dues for The Committee to Suppress Real Journalism that these two support and did they get an autographed photo of Jack Dorsey to commemorate their fake respect for the 1st Amendment?
What it looks like is anti-competitive behavior. Two people in your field, competing with you for clicks and ad revenue and followers, asking a third party to deprive you of your right to free speech (which just so happens to be your platform for promoting your brand)? They got away with it because they accused you of offending Saint Corona; I wonder what would have happened if they had called you a racist, misogynist, climate change denier, etc.
To be frank, I've never heard of these fascists!!
Me neither.
Well Alex, between you, Robert Malone and Rand Paul it would seem the mis / dis / mal - information market is cornered. Bottle it and sell .. !! Seriously, what is hilarious is almost everything you all have said was labeled as wrong, turns out to be right. Yet there remains zero humility or reflection within the MSM, public health, government in general and especially big pharma. Why is that? Are these people really that stupid or maybe there is an alternate agenda at play here? Like reducing the global population to do a major economic, social and cultural reset? I'm not smart enough to know but whatever it is, I want no part of it. To survive, we must pray, plan, prepare and RESIST.
I posted this comment on your previous article, but it applies here as well. They might not like you or your reporting, but it is much bigger and more personal than that, imo.
*************************************
The media's silence about your case, the settlement with Twitter, and your reinstatement may be personal. You are certainly provocative and, at times, obnoxious. You are likely seen as a turncoat. And DJT has caused the media to lose its collective mind.
IMO, however, the silence about the "vaccines" in the mainstream media and social media is personal for them. The majority of them took multiple injections of the "vaccines". They convinced their family members and children to get them. They shunned family and friends who refused to be jabbed. They were proud and obnoxiously self-righteous about their decisions.
And they were wrong.
It took nearly a year for the Zeitgeist to accept the jabs didn't stop infection or transmission of the virus (even though Rochelle admitted the jabs didn't stop infection or transmission to Blitzer on CNN in early August 2021). They knew the rationale for the mandates (stopping the spread) was falsified before the first mandate was enacted.
https://twitter.com/CDCDirector/status/1423747756590514176?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1423747756590514176%7Ctwgr%5E8033c8411055e69aa8c7d12ae2d20ee156411008%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitchy.com%2Fgregp-3534%2F2021%2F08%2F06%2Fdr-walensky-but-what-the-vaccines-cant-do-anymore-is-prevent-transmission%2F
IMO, they will never be able to admit that they've been injected multiple times...that they've pushed their children to be injected multiple times...with a ticking time bomb that may go off at any time for who knows how long. Once vaccinated, always vaccinated.
They cannot acknowledge that they screwed up.
They're too scared.
Cognitive dissonance has become a way of life.
Have you seen the Society of Actuaries Research Institute Group Life COVID-19 Mortality Survey Report (AUGUST | 2022) that Edward Dowd put up last week?
https://gettr.com/post/p1n3gqw221b
The "experts" know what is coming. They failed to jab us all, so there is a control group of sorts. The CDC quietly removed the claim that the mRNA and spike protein don't last long in the body. They are holding back data on all cause mortality.
The people who were their propagandists are compromised by personal choice and fear.
I learned in third grade that what was great about America is that our Constitution upheld Free Speech- Democrats were firm believers of this,...what changed? Anyone with minimal intelligence understands that Science is all about questioning a hyposthesis, experimenting, trying to prove a truth. To shut down anyone opposing Herr Fauci- who was wrong on almost everything ( I assume to cover his ass about being the reason Covid even happened) is NOT Science, it is a dictatorship, which is what , unfortunately, our government (and our supposedly free online "press") did for two years.
“What is really at issue is the right to report contemporary events truthfully or as truthfully as is consistent with the ignorance, bias and self-deception from which every observer necessarily suffers”
George Orwell
We are all capable of being wrong even when honestly believing something is true. Journalism has abandoned the pretense of truth and embraced ideology as unquestionable. The sad thing is they have embraced a hatred so powerful it justifies and encourages lying to obtain the nirvana they so fervently seek.
These people would fit right in behind the Iron Curtain of old. Spying and telling on their neighbors. Sickening.
The emporer has no clothes … in real life. 😂
It would be so much fun if you sued them into personal bankruptcy.
18 USC section 241 makes it a crime to conspire to violate someone’s constitutional rights.
courage ...freedom....truth....God.....like, let's totally make them cool again.
Shut up peasant! Repeat after me, “Safe and effective.”
Wow! The media suppressing free-speech! Sad, but also unlawful as anti-competitive and a restraint on free-enterprise!
The DNC or current admin…(whoever that is) was likely paying the jurnos to complain to Twitter just as they were paying the media to promote the jabs.
The majority have been biased since the 70s. I’d have empathy for you, however, you were blind to their biases and agendas while at the NYT/after, for far too long. And now that it’s aimed at you, you’re awakened.
The left is the master of manipulation and misinformation. Perhaps they should all be banned.
Dershowitz is clearly the original version of a liberal. In other words, he’s a dinosaur. I do enjoy listening to him and I will
likely buy his book. I do wonder about his skeletons however.
Same, not to mention he was adamant that covid vaccines could be legally mandated, citing Jacobsen case (which I would argue is distinct from covid in numerous ways).
The extreme environmentalists have always had depopulation on their minds. "There are too many people on the planet that are wrecking the environment!!"I first encountered it at a Dartmouth debate camp in 1995. The attitude of the young lady was we need to "delife" you but not me!!
