AND THEY WONDER WHY FOLKS DON'T TRUST THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA...

How does a story like this make it past the once-serious editorial standards of the AP? Put simply, people like Terry Tang, who authored the story. To be clear, we don't fault Tang. She is just doing her job – literally. The AP hired her as a 'National race and ethnicity writer.' Her job is to find racism and pretend racism exists where it doesn't actually exist.

Meanwhile... those darned 'Canadians'...

-- "Yet another Canadian trucker, 31-year-old driver Amarjeet Singh Matharu, has been pinched by U.S. cops for hauling 550 pounds of cocaine worth a whopping $32 million on the street. American law enforcement have busted numerous Canadian truckers, including many from the GTA, in drug smuggling schemes." --

I'm so old, I remember when we opened doors for them...

-- "Later in the day, Montreal Police reported the woman's injuries were no longer considered life-threatening. Police say there is a language barrier and they still are unable to get more information about her, including her age." --

SMELL THAT 'PROFESSIONAL' JOURNALISM

-- "The Associated Press thought now would be a good time to bring up the history of the bridge’s namesake — 'Star-Spangled Banner' lyricist Francis Scott Key—and drag up his ties to slavery. Because what better time than in the aftermath of a horrific accident is there to try to make the story about racism when it has absolutely nothing to do with race? That’s our laughingstock national press today, folks." --

THE RACIST SHITHOLE WHERE SHE LIVES

-- "Patricia Jaggernauth, who is Guyanese and Jamaican, claims white colleagues were allowed to advance at Bell Media while she wasn’t — a situation that was detrimental to her health. Jaggernauth said she applied for countless positions over the years and was always turned down. 'I gave my everything to the company. Literally my blood, my sweat and my tears.'" --

SOMEBODY NEEDS TO HAVE THEIR BATTERIES CHANGED

-- "'I think that, to be very honest with you, I do believe that we should have rightly believed, but we certainly believe that certain issues are just settled. Certain issues are just settled,' Harris responded." --

First, they came for...

...the tuba player...

The Columbia University Marching Band will disband “unanimously and enthusiastically” due to “racism, cultural oppression, misogyny, and sexual harassment.”

Enthusiastically? Gotta confess... didn't see that coming.

“With this decision, the current Band attempts to take responsibility both for harm directly caused by present Band members and for injuries which occurred at other times in the Band's history.”

Think I'm gonna want a little more backstory on this one.

Wait... what?

TIME TRAVEL WITH ME: To 2008...

"At the time, Obama was a state senator, and according to Dershowitz, had he known Obama had posed with Farrakhan, he wouldn’t have supported him in his initial 2008 bid for the White House."

Farrakhan, Farrakhan... that sounds so familiar

“We’ll tear this goddamn country up! We going to die anyway. Let’s die for something,” Farrakhan told the crowd to roaring applause.

Smell the "professional" journalism

Remember, these are the folks you're getting your daily KungFlu innoculation from...

In Classical Rhetoric this is known as begging the question. And politically as priming the pump.

OTTAWA -- NDP aboriginal affairs critic Niki Ashton says if most murdered aboriginal women are killed by aboriginal men, that bolsters calls for a national inquiry to find out why.

How many under-employed bureaucrats and publicity-hungry politicians can dance on the head of a 50 million dollar Royal Commission? The NDP aims to find out.

Heads, Niki wins... tails, taxpayers lose.

...it's gotta be the white dudes, right?

Bernice Martial, Grand Chief of the Confederacy of Treaty Six Nations and also Alberta’s Cold Lake First Nation, said she is “appalled.” She believes the information is “inaccurate and untrue...”

If those numbers got you riled up, Bernice... you're gonna love this...

"The incarceration rate of aboriginal men is 11 times that of non-native men; of women, it is 250 times the rate for non-native women."

Hmmm... you think those numbers might have something to do with aboriginal women going missing?

Canada's national broadcaster nails it yet again... just what exactly is it about compassionate, intellectual Toron... wait a minute...

"Prosecutor Matt Miazga said George was shot five times in ten seconds with a .22 calibre Smith and Wesson handgun. He managed to make it across the street before collapsing. He died later in hospital."

And what about that Hogtown hell-raiser?

"Defense lawyer Nick Stooshinoff said that Noor, 24, is originally from Somalia and moved to Toronto as a youth. He says that Noor was out that night partying and did not intend to kill Macdonald George.

FROM THE COMMENTS: CBC misses the real story

Whaddaya have to do in the Great White North to actually be charged with murder?

"shot FIVE times...yet that is manslaughter???"

Apparently those Torontonians are a passionate people.

Airbrushing the Politburo

All that carefully crafted spin... surely you don't think any part of that is a happy accident...

Why would anyone enamored enough with an Obama administration they want to go work for do anything that might make a potential employer uncomfortable -- you know, like actually report on ObamaCare and the economy honestly, or dig into Benghazi and the IRS?

The media is left-wing and crusading enough without the potential of a cushy government job being held out as a carrot.

And don't think the Obama administration isn't doling out these jobs for a reason. What a wonderful message to send to the world of media: Don't go too far, don't burn a bridge, don't upset us too much and there just might be a lifeline off the sinking MSM ship.

Despite employing all the "media guerillas" to shape the message... Americans are starting to wise up...

"Americans' trust and confidence in the federal government's ability to solve problems internationally as well as domestically has fallen to historic lows this year."

Unfortunately, it's too late to do anything about the horrendous economic damage the Obamacrats have already wreaked on the land. You can only move forward... hopefully in a more responsible manner.

There is a message in here for Canadians. Will short memories and a craving for celebrity allow us to elect the son of the man who, over the course of his reign, increased the deficit by a factor of ten?

"I can imagine that some genes make it harder for me to resist doing something harmful, and some make it easier. So what? I still don't get to torture kittens, no matter what my genetic makeup is.

Just something to consider the next time some bloviating media moron trots out St Al Gore and the Church of Global Warming.

The West Wing has thus far brushed off suggestions Obama make a symbolic trip to the predominantly black, bankrupt city of Detroit — because “there’s not a goddam we can do right now to help them,” according to one Obama hand.

Just another story you won't see on the CBC.

COMPARE & CONTRAST:

Bob Dylan's "Blowin' in the Wind," written in 1962, hit No. 2 on the Billboard charts just before the crowd gathered in Washington. When the folk-music trio Peter, Paul and Mary sang the song for the 250,000 people in front of the Lincoln Memorial that day, it became an interracial anthem for change. The song itself drew inspiration from two others: The lyrics brought to mind Woody Guthrie's "Bound for Glory," which included an allegory about newspapers blowing down city streets, and its melody came from a slave protest song called "No More Auction Block."

Sam Cooke, the black gospel and rhythm-and-blues singer began performing the Dylan song immediately after the march. He had been working on a song about the hurt he felt as a black man living with racism yet also with hope for better times. In December 1963, Cooke recorded "A Change Is Gonna Come." The song became a hit on black radio, another anthem of yearning for a nation without racial rancor.

Now, half a century after the lyrical promise of that inspiring music and poetry, there is the inescapable and heartbreaking contrast with the malignant, self-aggrandizing rap songs that define today's most popular music.

In Jay-Z's current hit, "Holy Grail," he sings about "psycho bitches" and uses the n-word seven times while bragging that he is "Living the life . . . Illest [n-word] alive." Another top rapper, Lil Wayne, released a song in the spring with an obscenity in the title, using the n-word repeatedly and depicting himself as abusing "hoes" and "bitches."

Similar examples abound in the rap-music world and have persisted for years with scarcely any complaint from today's civil-rights leaders. Their failure to denounce these lyrics for the damage they do to poor and minority families—words celebrating tattooed thugs and sexually indiscriminate women as icons of "keeping it real"—is a sad reminder of how long it has been since the world heard the sweet music of the March on Washington.

Progress? Methinks not.

Sure, it's easy to ignore Fox news...

...but when one of Obama's biggest media cheerleaders stops sippin' the kool-ade...

Think about three recent presidential declarations. A few weeks back, the president appeared on CBS to claim that the secret FISA court is “transparent.” He then appeared on NBC to claim that “We don’t have a domestic spying program.” Then, as mentioned above, he held a press conference on Friday to suggest there was no evidence the NSA was “actually abusing” its power.

I guess it’s possible Obama has merely been “wrong” but has not been lying. But the implications of that would be just as bad — albeit in a different way — as if he were deliberately lying.

It would mean that he is making sweeping and wildly inaccurate statements without bothering to find out if they are actually true. Worse, for him merely to be wrong but not deliberately lying, it would mean that he didn’t know the most basic facts about how his own administration runs.

Not all unicorns and fairy dust after all.

Miller expressed regret for the agency’s decision to use a planted question to go public with the IRS’ practice of singling out conservative groups.

It was one in a series of missteps that have not only publicly marred the reputation of the IRS, but also called into question what the White House knew about the scandal and when they knew it.

UPDATE: Obama knew all about it...

...before the election...

On May 3, 2012. Marks gave what IRS officials described as a “presentation” to Miller describing her findings. Marks said the investigation had found significant problems in the review process and a substantial bias against conservative groups, Ahmad said. No written findings were produced as a result, the aide said, and it does not appear the internal review led to any disciplinary actions against IRS employees.

The video raises significant questions in the wake of reports that the Department of Homeland Security, headed by Janet Napolitano, recently purchased around 2,700 MRAP trucks that many believe are to be deployed to local law enforcement agencies around the country.

It is clear that the DHS does have fleets of armoured vehicles intended for use in the US.

Such stark activity with little to no background detail has prompted several Congressmen to ask the federal government for an explanation.
