Anti-Trump Smear BACKFIRES On New York Times, Left AND Right Slam Newspaper. Reporters for the elite newspaper are outraged after discovering that conservatives are digging up old tweets and social media posts from New York Times reporters and embarrassing them. In response to this completely normal media reporting, the Times ran an anti-trump smear claiming that it was a loose network of Trump allies trying to discredit the press. Apparently they are completely oblivious to what journalism is. The NYT is not above scrutiny and they are subject to the same exposure as anyone else. However they are trying to frame it as a political hit against them for being intrepid and ethical journalists. Wrong This time the far left, left, center, and right have come out slamming the paper over their elitism. They seem to have a belief that they are better than the rest of us. Well, they aren't Recently the NYT was exposed for being biased against Trump in a leaked transcript of a private meeting where they seem to decide on targeting the president with a left wing smear. Now in the wake of a damaging past they are trying to paint their critics as Trump supporters. But in the end its just more fake news from the Times and everyone can see it. While the NYTimes does deserve credit for the work they do, we need to call out the increasing far left bias and activist journalism coming from these papers.

Far Leftists DEFEND Hong Kong Police, Call Protesters Far Right Fascists. The Hong Kong Protesters are demanding freedom of speech and the right to protest, among other things. From this there has been an escalation in clashes with police resulting in a viral photo and video showing police draw their arms against the protesters. While many in the US on the left and right condemned the shocking act, some far leftists have actually come to the defense of the police saying they were being attacked by a mob of far right fascists. Far left activists have increasingly begun to take the side of the communist party and police. This is party due to the fact that Hong Kong protesters use Pepe, Fly American Flags, Sing the US anthem, and have asked Donald Trump for help. While its important to stress that many on the left absolutely side with the protesters, it is even more important to note that those in the US waving communist flags have defended China and have actually engaged in similar behavior in the US. Its not necessarily a mirror image of the US, its basically the same thing. Pro communist activists in the US target pro freedom of speech activists here all the same. Both sides are worthy of criticism but in the end it seems that for some the issue is not about principle, freedoms, or opposing authoritarianism but in defending their "tribe" Support the show (http://timcast.com/donate) Learn more about your ad choices.

Leftist Journalist Admits Wokeness Is Just About Money And Clicks, Media Companies Purging Far Left. Amid the ongoing civil war in media between investors and woke journalists something amazing was published. A Former employee of a political sports website, Deadspin, admitted that the story here is not about idealistic journalists sticking to their integrity but in fact a staff that knows far left, woke, and social justice politics get more clicks than sports stories do. One would probably like to know, why does a sports website write about Trump, the Democrats, and social justice issues anyway? Well now we have our answer. Great Hill Partners bought the Gizmodo Media Group, which used to be led by Gawker. They now want the sports outlet Deadspin to "stick to sports" but the staff is convinced that woke outrage politics generates more traffic, and they are probably right. But in the long term we are seeing these companies collapse. perhaps the wokeness is a short term gain heading for a long term loss. Clicks and traffic is not an audience, its ragebait. A Company needs paying subscribers to continue existing and it seems the staff don't realize it. All they know is that politics plays better than sports. But if media companies wanted political content they could just launch a political website. Why have 7 political websites when you can just have one?

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Treated For Pancreatic Cancer, Liberals Fear Trump May Appoint THIRD SCOTUS Justice. Yesterday it was revealed that Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in July and was successfully treated at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer center in New York. In a statement it was said that she is clear and has no traces of the disease in her body. But nonetheless this is Justice Ginsburg's fourth bout with cancer and she was injured earlier in the year. Democrats, Liberals, and the far left are worried that if she passes before the 2020 election Trump may appoint not only a third Justice but maybe even a Fourth supreme court justice as Stephen Breyer is 81, though seemingly in good health. Even if Justice Ginsburg can make it past 2020 Trump is likely to be reelected, she and Breyer would need to make it past 2024 in order to get more liberal justices on the court.

Most American Don't Want Trump Impeached, Think Media Outlets Trying To Stop Trump. Several polls have already showed something similar, that most Americans don't want Trump to be impeached. Though most Democrats do, especially far left democrats, moderates sit at only around 39% in favor of impeachment. Interestingly the poll also found Trump had an approval rating of 40% but 59% did not want him impeached meaning that there are many people who do not approve of Trump but don't think he should be impeached. In another poll from Rasmussen we can see that 54% of voters think the media is just trying to stop Trump and they don't trust the news they hear. Which leads us to the big question. Outside of the people who don't trust media, do people think Trump's approval matters more than policy? The question we need to ask is is Trump's disapproval enough to stop his 2020 reelection or is the approval rating for Democrats worse? Will people be more likely to support an unpopular president if the Democratic parties policies are too far left? Support the show (http://timcast.com/donate) Learn more about your ad choices.

We Are Trapped In Trump World, The Media OBSESSION Is Carrying Him To 2020 Reelection. They say that the media provided Donald Trump with billions in free press during the 2016 presidential election. People ragged on the media for constantly talking about him essentially propelling him to victory. The media hasn't changed one bit. Everyday all I see is Trump Trump Trump everywhere. I started to realize that this is not normal, we are trapped in Trump World. He baits the press and they take it, he calls out the far left democrats and the media runs full speed. Even The Simpsons made a terrible segment with Trump and the far left "squad" which is exactly what Trump wanted. Donald Trump's mentions in the press on average are higher than the highest point of Obama's presidency. Democrats can try all they want but the media's obsession is once again providing him a path to 2020 reelection. He plays to their ego and they can't stop.

Facebook Audit Proves Bias Against Conservatives, Company Makes Changes. After several years of complains from conservatives about a biases from the platform Facebook has officially announced changes to assuage the concerns from right wing groups and conservatives. One change seems inconsequential but will allow certain conservatives groups to finally advertise on Facebook. In the end though Facebook is reluctant to admit the bias exists or existed and many in media seem to as well. But based on the fact that several staff have confirmed the bias, facebook initiated an external audit, and then agreed to make several changes to their staff and policies after complaints we can see there was a bias. Whether it was intentional or not is another issue. The audit however did upset many on the left and far left who for some reason refuse to believe all the evidence that has existed for the past three years. Strangely the story itself was broken by Gizmodo. In the story I also discuss the work of Dr. Robert Epstein as he was recently smeared by Hillary Clinton in her row with Donald Trump over google's pro left wing biases.

Democrat Threatens To Vote Trump 2020 Fearing Far Left Policies. In an Op-ed for the Courier Journal a man who says, in no uncertain terms, that Trump is a very bad man expresses his willingness to vote Trump 2020 due to the radical left and the far left push by Democrats. 2020 Democrats have increasingly embraced far left policy ideas that most Americans believe are bad. Moderates routinely express frustration with the ever expanding far left within the Democratic Party ranks. It seems that data supports the op-ed's general idea too. Moderates believe the democrats have gone to far left and it seems plausible then that others on the democrat side will vote republican come 2020. In response to the wave of news however we see a strong push by top Democrats to move back to the center. Unfortunately for them, progressives won't get behind a moderate and it seems that 2020 will be Bernie or Bust times twenty Support the show (http://timcast.com/donate) Learn more about your ad choices.

Trump's Victory Shattered The Democrats, They've Been Struggling Ever Since. Something had been brewing in the US for some time, the rise of the far left in the Democratic party predates Trump's victory. In fact, it may have led to his win when Bernie Sanders voters refused to support Hillary. But the night Trump won something happened, his victory was like a sledgehammer on the Democratic party creating cracks that are ever increasingly spiraling out further and further. We didn't see if at the time but the conversation had started. Bernie or Bust voters, the far left democrats, cost hillary clinton the election. Since then the far left and social justice narratives have become increasingly dominant. 2020 Democrats make absurd promises that most Americans disagree with. The narrative that is winning out is that in order to beat Trump we have to go further left and reject moderate and conservative Democrats. But it's the center that wins elections and Trump knows it. 2020 Democrats are embracing woke twitter rhetoric and its going to work much to the benefit of Trump in 2020. While polls do show Trump losing in almost every match-up the polls were wrong in 2016. Technically the polls weren't wrong, they just gave Trump a ridiculously low chance of winning and he won. But the general idea about the polls being wrong is that they shouldn't have favored Hillary. While Trump isn't the cause of the growing far left democrats he certainly helps it grow, and he does it on purpose. Trump knows that by pushing and promoting woke far left democrats and activists it will scare Americans into voting republican. Unfortunately for the US left, this means Democrats are playing into trump's hands and he will likely take 2020 in a landslide. Many Democrats know this and think impeachment is the only way to beat Trump but even this issue is too divisive. The moderate democrats and far left democrats are in a battle for the soul of the party and the far left is winning. Support the show (http://timcast.com/donate) Learn more about your ad choices.

Digital Media Tries To Purge Wokeness, Far Left Writers RESIGN In Outrage. A Top editor for a woke media outlet resigned amid controversy and a hit piece against their bosses. Great Hill Partners purchased the Gizmodo Media group recently and appears to be trying to remove overt politics from the sports website Deadspin. The Gizmodo union was outraged a few weeks ago when a survey appeared on the website asking readings what they disliked most about Deadpsin and politics was an option. Its a relevant question. Why would a sports website write about far left activist politics and woke social justice narratives? I don't care about the politics I care about the sports. Not only that but one of the main complaints from the far left activist journalists was that the parent company was hiring too many "white dudes." It seems their complaints were driven by ideology. This editorial rift seems to have resulted in the top editor's resignation but this comes just after we heard Gawker's relaunch was canceled. Gawker was set to relaunch as a different company but due to offensive tweets from the new boss two of the writers quit. They specifically cited the offensive posts. At least with these companies it seems that the people running the show know that sometimes getting woke means going broke and that getting rid of the wokeness will bring a path to success. One of the problems isn't necessarily the politics however, its the fact that almost every company is chasing the same narrative of wokeness and far left politics. This means every website is basically the same thing over and over. Eventually it gets boring. Support the show (http://timcast.com/donate) Learn more about your ad choices.
