Scroll down and you will see the Candace Owens video scrubbed.
10 hours ago I posted a vid that showed ABC News reporting on Trump's slaughter of our Kurdish allies. It would be revealed that the live footage had actually been lifted off of YouTube of all places and originated at a firing range in Kentucky. That video has also been scrubbed.
I don't know what was going on in Kentucky but they had some serious after dark fire power.
Being that the last vid got deleted, I will try with a slight variation on the same theme.

Bye Bye Shepherd Smith
There are two kinds of people who hate Fox News. Those who have never watched the network and those that have. Put me in the latter category.
I vehemently reject the notion that Fox News presented an alternative viewpoint to the mainstream media. Will few exceptions, they parroted the mainstreamers and they largely promoted the same agenda. My rough estimate is that 80% of their programming in 2016 was either Pro-Hillary or Anti-Trump.
My list of grievances, criticisms and corrections with and of Fox News is long and life is short. So let's leave Brett Baier and The Five and Outnumbered and the endless manifestations of Greg Gutfeld and the whole dork parade of overpaid buffoons aside and focus on but one overpaid buffoon: Shepherd Smith.
For 23 years Shepherd Smith has had 10 hours a week to speak falsely and rest assured, he took full advantage of the opportunities presented. That is 10x the time Janine Pirro is given. It is twice as much time as Tucker Carlson is allotted. Next to the early bird fluff news peeps, Shepherd had more screen time than anyone.
Smith was the face and the soul of Fox news. For 23 years he badmouthed Republicans, conservatives, tea-partiers, Trump Nation and any other non-Democrat. Falsity, half-truth, willful omission of significant detail, character assassination...Smith was a journalist's journalist. He could outpropagandize CNN in 1/3 the time.
When I heard recently that Shepherd Smith got canned, I was pleased. Fox News is not salvageable in my view but if they want to redeem themselves, this is a good start.
Following the Smith bye-bye, Project Veritas is releasing some great CNN hidden camera work. On the same day, ABC News is caught using footage taken at a Kentucky gun range to prosecute Trump's latest atrocity, his alleged genocide of the Kurdish people. I live for moments like this.
Bye bye Shepherd. Go count your money. Go write your memoirs. Go live the good life. But go! Go! Please go!
Life is good.

Henry John Kerner: The King of Cover-ups.
I know nothing about the life of Sundance from Conservstive Treehouse. I think he is male because I have others refer to him using a masculine pronoun. These days, that might not mean anything.
Don't know his real name or his age or his locale. Don't know Sundance's likes or dislikes or his favorite Kardashian. What I do know is that Sundance is one of the best investigative reporters in the world, bar none.
Sundance's latest revelation is the common denominator in four wihitewashed GOP investigations. This is a chilling reminder of just how deep-rooted the ruling class ("deep state"if you prefer) gas become. Republican firebrands were no match for Kerner and he thwarted their best efforts at every turn.
Takeaways:
1. Once more, the MSM lies through omission.
2. The deep state is deeper than we can imagine.
3. We can never trust anyone loyal to the DC Mafia.
4. We need to impose a deep state scorched earth policy pronto.

This is a chilling reminder of just how deep-rooted the ruling class ("deep state"if you prefer) gas become. Republican firebrands were no match for Kerner and he thwarted their best efforts at every turn.
The same John McCain staffer who told the IRS to weaponize their database to target Tea Party groups, was intimately involved in Fast-and-Furious, Benghazi, IRS and now -under the Trump administration- “Spygate”.
If you wanted to control or cover-up a DC scandal where would you need to be? What position(s) would you need to control? A) the witnesses, and the investigators. In essence, deep inside the agencies or committees doing the investigation. That’s exactly the functionality where Henry John Kerner comes in.
Sundance credits Judicial Watch for outing Henry John Kerner. Judicial Watch is a one-trick pony who uses the Freedom of Information Act to find out more than CNN?AP/CBS/ABC/NBC/NPR, et al, will ever reveal. Calling them a one-trick pony is not an insult. Rather, it says a great deal about what can be achieved on a shoestring budget if one is committed to truth. CNN?AP/CBS/ABC/NBC/NPR, et al, with their deep pockets and legions of employees, could do a much better job than Judicial Watch, BUT THEY CHOOSE NOT TO.Takeaways:
1. Once more, the MSM lies through omission.
2. The deep state is deeper than we can imagine.
3. We can never trust anyone loyal to the DC Mafia.
4. We need to impose a deep state scorched earth policy pronto.

When Did The News Become the news?
Maybe it was always thus. Maybe the news media and the news were always Clark Kent and Superman but they at least wore glasses and pretended to be separate and distinct characters.
Maybe the Cronkites and the Bradlees and the Sulzbergers were not essentially different from their descendants, but they at least pretended to be reporters. Maybe they were just a little more suave, a little more subtle, a little more sophisticated. None of them ever proclaimed, "I am Kal-El and I come from the planet Krypton!" Maybe they were just good at keeping secrets to themselves.
Can we pinpoint when the News became the news? I cannot do so but I can tell you it was a fairly recent phenomenon. If I were pressed to give an immediate answer I would say that holes appeared in the dike during the Reagan Administration and the dam broke in 2008. At any rate, the dam did break and the fourth estate flooded all those other estates as well.
Sometimes a snap shot tells the story better than a video. The ever-insightful, always profound, always truthful Daniel Greenfield offers a revelation that succinctly captures the state of American news media.
But this time the media wasn’t just manufacturing a messaging consensus through its echo chamber. Instead it was directly involved in a conspiracy that eavesdropped on the political opposition and that is attempting to overturn the results of the 2016 election using not only dirty tricks, but the government.
Media smears are nothing new. Media coups are a whole other thing.
James Clapper, Obama’s Director of National Intelligence, allegedly coordinated with CNN. And then took a job at CNN. Clapper isn’t alone. Obama’s CIA boss, John Brennan, is over at NBC News. Josh Campbell, Comey's assistant, is at CNN. The three arms of the Deep State offer interchangeable employment. Much as Fusion GPS was paying the wifeof a top DOJ official to investigate Trump.
This is what organizational integration looks like. And that’s what a Deep State looks like.
CIA or CNN? Who can tell the difference?
The investigation of the investigation has made it very clear that top CIA and FBI people were coordinating with the media. When CNN knows what’s going on at the FBI, that’s a leak. But when the FBI knows what’s going on at CNN, that’s close coordination.
Spygate depended on close coordination between Clinton’s people, the media and Obama’s intel folks. But it was the media that lubricated the alliance of the Democrat Deep State behind the coup.

David Horowitz: Charlottesville Is Fake News
What "Unite the Right" actually demonstrated was that the assortment of neo-Nazis, pro-Confederates, and assorted yahoos gathered under the banner of the "Alt-Right" is actually a negligible group.
This supposed national show of strength actually attracted all of 500 people.
Compare that to the tens of the thousands who can readily be marshaled by two violent groups of the left — Black Lives Matter and Antifa — and you get an idea of how marginal "white supremacists" are to America's political and cultural life.
Yet "white supremacy" and its evils became the centerpiece of all the fake news reporting on the event, including all the ludicrous attacks on the president for not condemning enough a bogeyman the whole nation condemns, and that no one but a risible fringe supports.
Talk about virtue signaling!

Russiagate Is Now Officially The World's Stupidest Conspiracy
It's Official! The sanctioning body of Stupid Conspiracy Theories in conjunction with the Post Obotomy Syndrome Board Of Directors in accordance with Akashic Broken Records has decreed that the "PUTIN STOLE THE ELECTION FROM HILLARY BECAUSE DONALD TRUMP HAS COOTIES" narrative is the stupidest conspiracy theory in the history of Planet Earth.
The incoherent Russian Hacking jibberish surpasses Flat Earthism, Fake Moon Landing and the unsinkable 9/11 Inside Job as the silliest pile of nothingness ever assembled. Unlike the other spaghetti logic memes, Russian Hacking has been promoted by most media outlets, as well as the US Senate and the US Department of Justice. Never before have we seen the inventing, the embracing and the promotion of unfounded claims by institutions once held in high regard by most of the public.
Never has America witnessed the widespread promotion of deliberate stupidity by the highest echelons of society. NEVER!!! The fringe has grown respectable and the respectable proudly display their dunce caps. Overt idiocy is now a badge of social status.
Some of my best friends are 9/11 Truthers and I disagree with their viewpoint but I have respect for them. On the other hand, none of us should ever respect the "No fire but lots of smoke" morons who obstruct government and pollute our airways. I agree with Lionel. The Truthers are owed an apology.

Scandal Rocks The Fourth Estate: Schieffer Caught Normalizing The President
If you want to win the argument for the proliferation of gross media bias and you only have 1:15 to do so, I recommend the following video.
We thought Bob Schieffer had retired but like a case of herpes, he just keeps coming back. The normalizing charge could get him blacklisted, however.
Hat tip to Fire Andrea Mitchell.
WILL SCHIEFFER GET PROBATION?

MSM Cranks Up The Volume As Old Scandals Resurface
What if bank robbers coordinated their efforts so that they all committed their crimes on Tuesday @ 1:47 PM EST? There are roughly 5,000 US bank robberies per year. Some robbers commit multiple crimes but even if there were only 1K simultaneous bank jobs or 20 per state, many, if not most, of the thieves would not be apprehended. The nefarious choreography would short the system.
Such was the Obama Administration. They flooded the zone with scandal. For brevity sake, we cannot recite all the sins and crimes of a diabolical regime. Even if we place the Obama State Department on a different shelf--the unsecured server, unencrypted messaging, illegal devices, pay for play/play for pay, destruction of evidence, nuclear secrets to name but a few crimes against America--we lay witness to the most gangrenous assembly of human action our republic has ever endured.
Domestic spying, IRS harassment, bureaucratic weaponization, nukes for ayatollahs...we get past the criminal and we can see social destruction on a scale and scope we thought impossible. Rational discourse died during the Obama Administration. Barack and his mindless minions killed it. The Administration corrupted the news media beyond repair and the primacy of truth died in the process. Even pop culture soured during the Obama years. Again, brevity prevents a reading of the entire list of casualties but we will return to the subject later.
Let's examine a few scandals that recently resurfaced. Leading the charge is the cold-blooded murder of Seth Rich. This blog first reported Seth Rich's murder August 7, 2016 and most recently revisited the subject on April 8 of this year. Here is a smattering of Seth Rich material covered at this lowly blog:
1. Is There An Actuary In The House?
2. Assange Does Not Quite Say...
3. Assange Reward
Recently, it was revealed that Seth Rich exchanged 44,000 emails with Wikileaks, not exactly a surprise. As this story was heating up, we were served the bullshit saga of Trump feeding the Russkies confidential intel in the Oval Office. Then we learned of a Comey memo that remains invisible. Turn up the volume!
Shifting gears, I was surprised to see a favorite link site connect to a pre-election National Review video concerning President Obama's use of a private email to correspond with his State Department.
NATIONAL REVIEW OCTOBER 1, 2016
Why would an up-to-the-minute link site call our attention to this video now? Again, given the multitude of crimes and the constancy of scandal that characterized the past 8 years, maybe the linkmeisters had finally gotten around to sort through the toxic debris and hold obvious crimes to public illumination. Oh look, here comes another Putin/Comey story! Divert thine eyes, peasant!
Leastly, and lastly only for brevity sake, we come to the corruption of pop culture via the collaborative action between the DNC and has-been comedians. Stephen Colbert used a crude reference to define Donald Trump's relationship with Vladimir Putin. I am not opposed to bawdy humor but I am of the strong opinion that the referenced action better describes Colbert's relationship to John Podesta. How did it taste Stevie? Will you be joining your Podaddy for a slice at Comet Pizza? Such a lovely couple, aren't they?
I digress. Recently, I saw multiple links to Wikileak's revelations that Colbert corresponded with John Podesta and asked for feedback on his show. This is so so so Soviet Union but why is this relatively trivial matter surfacing once more? Probably because it was given short shrift on the first few cycles. Now that we are once more made aware of the Democrat$ and their faithful prostitutes, rest assured we will again be hit by anti-Trump fairy tales emanating from "The Washington Post" or New York Times".
Nothing to see here, folks. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. Don't read the fine print...Hey look! More Russians!

Understatement? 89% Of Trump News Coverage Is Negative
As President Trump approaches the end of his first 100 days in office, he has received by far the most hostile press treatment of any incoming American president, with the broadcast networks punishing him with coverage that has been 89% negative. The networks largely ignored important national priorities such as jobs and the fight against ISIS, in favor of a news agenda that has been dominated by anti-Trump controversies and which closely matches what would be expected from an opposition party.

Is Scott Pelley The King Of Fake News?
PELLEYNOCCIO
Perhaps not realizing that this would become a sensitive subject, "The New York Times" reported on this travesty (and probable multiple felonies) in 2015.
Perhaps not realizing that this would become a sensitive subject, "The New York Times" reported on this travesty (and probable multiple felonies) in 2015.
The headline on the website Pravda trumpeted President Vladimir V. Putin’s latest coup, its nationalistic fervor recalling an era when its precursor served as the official mouthpiece of the Kremlin: “Russian Nuclear Energy Conquers the World.”
The article, in January 2013, detailed how the Russian atomic energy agency, Rosatom, had taken over a Canadian company with uranium-mining stakes stretching from Central Asia to the American West. The deal made Rosatom one of the world’s largest uranium producers and brought Mr. Putin closer to his goal of controlling much of the global uranium supply chain.
But the untold story behind that story is one that involves not just the Russian president, but also a former American president and a woman who would like to be the next one.
At the heart of the tale are several men, leaders of the Canadian mining industry, who have been major donors to the charitable endeavors of former President Bill Clinton and his family. Members of that group built, financed and eventually sold off to the Russians a company that would become known as Uranium One.
But Pelley’s bold assertion is highly misleading. It wasn’t Hillary who was alleged to have been paid for the Uranium, it was her husband and the family foundation. And there was not one, but two credible sources who found those connections.
As many would remember, these assertions were brought up in the book Clinton Cash, which was written by Peter Schweizer. One of his earlier books, Throw Them All Out, opened the nation’s eyes to how members of Congress take advantage of their insider knowledge and position to enrich themselves. The book was so successful that Congress was forced to pass bill limited that ability, even though they later removed it.
Scott Pelley is a chronic, habitual and malicious liar (and a bad liar at that). To borrow from his predecessor, "And that's the way it is."

Brace Yourself For The Media Counter-Attack
In 2008, Spike Lee appeared on a TV show (was it "Morning Joe"?) to pronounce the significance of Barack Obama's arrival BB: Before Barack. AB: After Barack.
What seemed like brain dead blather would turn out to be strangely prophetic. Barack Obama changed America and not in a positive way. The change Obama promised would be destruction such as we had not thought possible.
Barack Obama's one lasting accomplishment is the extinction of civil discourse. He did this largely by co-opting corrupt and corrupting and further-corruptible news media. Make no doubt about it, these were not Vestal Virgins that were defiled. These were whores with price tags and shrewd agents. Obama paid the tab and to this day, he still weaponizes the press.
The revelations that a sitting president engaged in an ongoing, open-ended surveillance of a political rival based on spurious evidence would--in an era not that long ago--result in shock, outrage and ultimately the turning of the screws of justice. That was Before Barack. After Barack the media loyalists work overtime to spin the scandal in favor of the most corrupt president this country ever produced.
False news is now the norm. We have already addressed the bogus Putin Stole The Election From Hillary narrative. In another era a real reporter like Peter Schweizer would shut their lying mouths:
Bill and Hillary Clinton received large sums of money directly and indirectly from Russian officials while Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State. Bill Clinton was paid a cool $500,000 (well above his normal fee) for a speech in Moscow in 2010. Who footed the bill? An investment firm in Moscow called Renaissance Capital, which boasts deep ties to Russian intelligence. The Clinton Foundation itself took money from Russian officials and Putin-connected oligarchs. They also took donations from:
Viktor Vekselberg, a Putin confidant who gave through his company, Renova Group
Andrey Vavilov, a former Russian government official who was Chairman of SuperOx, a research company that was part of the “nuclear Cluster” at the Russian government’s Skolkovo research facility
Elena Baturina, the wife of the former Mayor of Moscow, who apparently gave them money through JSC Inteco, an entity that she controls
Then there is the glaring fact that the Clinton Foundation also scored $145 million in donations from nine shareholders in a Canadian uranium company called Uranium One that was sold to the Russian government in 2010. The deal required the approval of several federal government agencies, including Hillary Clinton’s State Department. The deal allowed Rosatom, the Russian State Nuclear Agency, to buy assets that amounted to 20 percent of American uranium. Rosatom, by the way controls the Russian nuclear arsenal.
Equally troubling: some of those donations were hidden and not disclosed by the Clintons. President Obama required the Clinton Foundation to disclose all contributions as a condition of Hillary Clinton becoming Secretary of State. But that did not happen. The only reason the hidden donations ever came to light is because we uncovered them by combing through Canadian tax records.
Obama has ushered in an era of post-factualism. They tell us that Jeff Sessions perjured himself when clearly he did no such thing.
We are told that Sessions needs to recuse himself from investigating Russian influence and then told that his recusal is an admission of guilt.
We are told that Obama's spying on Trump could only have resulted from probable cause and therefore Trump is guilty of unending criminality.
We are told that President Trump has served up unfounded claims that President Obama spied on him and we click to other sites that lay out detailed timelines for the "investigation."
Many of us thought the Obama-IRS scandal would be a high water mark in a tsunami of corruption. We also thought the Susan Rice Benghazi string of falsehoods might unravel what really went on at that backwater consulate. No and no. We cannot assign all the credit to Anderson Cooper and "The New York Times" but let's hope Barry and Hillary both sent them fruit baskets. The cover-ups could not have happened without you, Coop.
Ya'all ready for some spin? The world might view members of the American news media as overpaid simpletons and lazy fabulists but they will work diligently to defend their overlords. Brace yourself for their counter-attack.

The "New York Times" Now Infamous Sensationalistic Headline
Trump Campaign Aides Had Repeated Contacts With Russian Intelligence
WASHINGTON — Phone records and intercepted calls show that members of Donald J. Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and other Trump associates had repeated contacts with senior Russian intelligence officials in the year before the election, according to four current and former American officials.
American law enforcement and intelligence agencies intercepted the communications around the same time they were discovering evidence that Russia was trying to disrupt the presidential election by hacking into the Democratic National Committee, three of the officials said. The intelligence agencies then sought to learn whether the Trump campaign was colluding with the Russians on the hacking or other efforts to influence the election.
The officials interviewed in recent weeks said that, so far, they had seen no evidence of such cooperation.

One More Fake News Standing Headline: Barack Obama Was A Popular President
There's actually two kinds of #FakeNews. The first occurs when CNN reports stuff that isn't true. The second is when CNN doesn't report stuff that should be reported, stuff that really is kind of noteworthy, stuff that they'd report if circumstances were different. Such as this article from Investors Business Daily, Here's One Poll The Press Doesn't Want You To See:
Gallup report that came out last Friday, which took a final look at the President Obama's popularity over his eight years in office.
That poll found that Obama's overall average approval rating was a dismal 47.9%.
Only three presidents scored worse than Obama since Gallup started doing these surveys in 1945: never-elected Gerald Ford (47.2%), one-termer Jimmy Carter (45.4%), and Harry Truman (45.4%).
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
By the way, how did 'W' do, compared with Obama?
Obama even did worse overall than Richard Nixon, whose average approval was 49%, and was less popular overall than George W. Bush, who got an average 49.4%.Alrighty then. So basically CNN has been lying to us all this time. Good to know.

Down Nausea Lane: Reviewing The Rise Of Obama's Sycophantic Press And The Death Of Objectivity
When Obama ran for President four years later, news reporters led the cheers. “It’s almost hard to remain objectivebecause it’s infectious, the energy, I think,” then-NBC reporter Lee Cowan confessed in an MSNBC.com video posted January 7, 2008. On CNN a few days later, Politico editor John Harris admitted: “A couple years ago, you would send a reporter out with Obama, and it was like they needed to go through detox when they came back — ‘Oh, he’s so impressive, he’s so charismatic,’ and we’re kind of like, ‘Down, boy.’”
As a candidate, the Associated Press celebrated Obama as “something special,” while as President-elect, the Washington Post drooled over his “chiseled pectorals,” on display during a vacation in Hawaii. As President, reporters touted his “prodigious talents,” his “amazing legislative agenda,” and his “huge achievements.” And as an individual, journalists fawned over Obama, calling him “one of our brightest presidents,” a “huge visionary,” “the perfect American,” “our national poet,” and “the most noble man who has ever lived in the White House.”
