I’m going to have a busy few weeks ahead, and to be honest, I’m getting kind of sick of typing out the commentary because as you’ve seen, it all follows the same pattern.
- Trump, Vance, RFK, or Shanahan speak for hours on podcasts, rallies, interviews. (While all this is going on, Harris does nothing because she’s “covered” by the 18 minutes she gave to CNN).
- Left-wing media picks one sentence to take out of context and writes attack pieces
- Mainstream media reports on the “news”, which usually is one of the following
- Social media spreading the lie
- The target of the attack defending himself against the lie
- Mainstream media interviewing people to get their opinion on the lie
- Google News aggregates stories from the Left-wing media and the mainstream media while blocking conservative media, painting a picture of a massive trend that was completely manufactured
- While all this goes on, real issues like the border, America’s intervention in foreign wars, chronic diseases in America, runaway inflation, corruption in government do not get discussed.
But I’ll continue to post these without commentary or maybe with very limited commentary, just so we can continue to keep a record of it. If you’re reading this, I hope you can continue to open people’s eyes.
Remember, I’m pulling these news stories up in Incognito mode with no cookies or personalized history, so this is what most of America is seeing day in, day out, 24 hours a day.

Notice how the videos that the Gold Star families filmed to defend Trump and criticize Harris has been almost completely memory-holed less than 48 hours later. There are scattered showers of journalism on the Harris side, but the Trump side continues to be one attack piece after another. Only an occasional one-off from Fox News or a British media outlet

Huge events going on in the world today. It’s revealed that six hostages have been killed by Hamas, including an American. Brazil’s leadership has all but called on open war on Elon Musk, an American citizen, and his companies. There are videos of disastrous appearances by Biden and Harris on the campaign trail, where Biden appeared to fumble on his words again, and Harris seemed especially…joyful. Speaker Johnson announced that the SAVE act would be tied to a spending bill. What is the MSM talking about? The usual minutiae.

One of the reasons I said I was going to be busy is that I just started a new job with a fantastic company. I got to meet some of my new colleagues and learn about the new business I’ll be supporting, which is totally exciting.
One thing this means, though, is that like most Americans I don’t have hours and hours to spend on X like I used to. At best, I can maybe take 20-30 minutes a night to catch up on the news.
This, of course, is what the mainstream media counts on. When I was growing up my parents would turn on the TV every night at 7 and listen to John Chancellor and David Brinkley. Others turned to Peter Jennings, Dan Rather, and Walter Cronkite. While most of them had their biases, they rarely let them show through. That’s how they earned America’s trust night in and night out.
That’s no longer the case, although most Americans continue to act as it is. They get their news from the home page of their Windows home screen which they never bothered to change. Or Google Discover. Or Apple News. All of which looks like this.

The “big news” tonight, which the mainstream media is no doubt salivating over, is Merrick Garland announcing the Department of Justice’s investigation into some right-leaning podcasters supposedly taking $10 million from Russia Today to “influence the US election”.
Sorry, but what the h-e-double hockey sticks has Google News been doing for all this time now?
There’s also been a school shooting in Georgia. Never mind that the kid has been monitored by the FBI for over a year. No, the news cycle will be flooded with guns, guns, guns and Russia, Russia, Russia.
By the way, have you noticed that there aren’t any reports of Harris “surging in the polls” for the last few days? I wonder why that is.
In the meantime, Donald Trump continues to five lengthy interviews detailing his policies, his plans, and his vision for America. Yesterday with Lex Fridman. Today with Sean Hannity. Crickets. Not even a mention in the mainstream media. Not even an attack piece about them. Just silence. And opinion piece after opinion piece disguised as news.

Russia’s Troll-in-Chief endorsed Kamala Harris today. While CNN saw it as a trolling attempt, notice how USA Today covers it. Their headline simply says “Vladimir Putin gets behind Kamala Harris for President. They count on low information Americans glancing at it and accepting that yet another world leader has jumped on the Harris bandwagon.
In other news it’s the usual lopsided balance. Harris get glowing reviews from 12 voters cherry-picked as if they’re representing 9 million registered voters in PA. MSNBC continues to talk about Liz Cheney days after her endorsement as if she were relevant. The Washington Post focuses on Trump supposedly “insulting” Jewish-American voters—completely omitting that the “insult” was questioning how Jewish supporters of Harris could overlook so many of their fellow supporters—and those within the Harris Administration—who favor Hamas over Israel. And of course, Politico has finally found the abortion angle to attack Trump and Newsweek is already salivating at the end of MAGA in the glorious new Harris regime.

Perhaps someone should teach NPR the words to the Frozen song “Let it Go” because they are STILL talking about the Arlington Hoax. The New York Times characterizes Trump’s defense of himself against the ludicrous E Jean Carroll case as him “trailing among women, lashing out at females”, and the Washington Post, CNN, and The Atlantic decide that instead of reporting on the actual news (that Trump’s sentencing has been postponed until after the Election), they’ll dredge up all the salacious allegations. CBS and Reuters, in the meantime, take time to remind everyone about Trump’s “hush money” case. The whole point? To paint a false picture of chaos and disarray within the Trump, while anyone who’s taken the time to watch Trump on the campaign trail will see him articulating policy after policy clearly and logically while Harris continues to cower in her virtual basement.
Harris, of course, doesn’t need to lift a finger. Despite still not announcing any policy decision, other than unbelievably reckless ideas like a tax on unrealized capital gains, CNBC and Reuters breathlessly announce that “eighty-eight corporate leaders” endorsed Harris, joining the “over 200 former Bush, McCain and Romney officials”. As with the “51 former intelligence agents” it’s all manufactured news.

Interestingly, Fox News, the outlet generally picked as the token pro-Trump voice, has a flurry of pro-Harris articles. Some people may view this as Fox doing the best job of trying to be “fair and balanced” while others may see it as the influence of deep state board members like Paul Ryan (most of us will remember how Fox News was strangely quick to call Arizona in 2020). The truth? Nobody knows. But another good reminder not to put all your eggs in one basket…or if you prefer, let the “Fox” guard the henhouse.
The lopsidedness of Google News continues. When Harris and Walz are questioned by Congress, they “face swarm of House GOP probes”. When Trump is questioned by the Executive Branch, he “dismisses warnings of Russian interference”. See the difference?
The Trump bashing continues. It’s becoming all too familiar. The New York Times warns that Trump is going to “Bend the Federal Government to His Will”. Politico telegraphs how Trump is going to “blow the debates, his best chance to regain ground” (notice the thinking past the sale?) NPR extols the great Dick Cheney (what?) for his brave stand in voting for Harris, while CBS News talks about how Nikki Haley is endorsing Trump plugging her nose. And as usual, no discussion of policy in Google News for Trump (except for a rare sighting of journalism from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel which somehow sneaked in).
