Corporate Media Continues Scrubbing Negative Stories About Kamala Harris.

The Democratic Party’s allies in the corporate media continue their work attempting to scrub potentially damaging stories regarding Kamala Harris, the party’s now presumptive 2024 presidential nominee, following Joe Biden’s exit from the race. GovTrack, a website that allows users to examine Congressional voting records and the partisan lean of their elected officials, removed a reference to Harris’s voting record when she served as a Senator for California, which stated she had the furthest left record in the upper legislative body.

In their 2019 ratings, GovTrack listed then-Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA) as the most liberal member of the U.S. Senate. The rating was based on the amount of bipartisan legislation sponsored or cosponsored by each Senator. According to the website, however, it has now decided to remove its single-year ratings, claiming they are inadequate in capturing the partisan lean of lawmakers.

Despite the removal of Harris‘s 2019 rating as the most liberal U.S. Senator, the California Democrat’s tenure in the Senate still ranks as the sixth furthest on the ideological left among her party. Only Sens. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Cory Booker (D-NJ), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Ed Markey (D-MA), and Jeff Merkley (D-OR) have records further to the left among Democrats. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) rates as the most left-wing partisan among all Senators regardless of party affiliation.

The National Pulse previously reported that Axios attempted to blame former President Donald J. Trump‘s campaign for the perception that Harris was named as ‘border czar’ by Joe Biden.

However, in an Axios article published in 2021, the corporate news outlet itself referred to Harris as the Biden government’s “border czar.” The ongoing border crisis is seen as a critical weakness for Harris.

WATCH: CNN Refers to Viewers as ‘Our Voters’ in Cringeworthy Kamala Segment.

CNN‘s Jake Tapper revealingly referred to the network’s viewers as “our voters” in a Pravda-like segment talking up Vice President Kamala Harris‘s “appeal to Gen Z” on Monday. Harris, who turns 60 in October, has been aping the style of 31-year-old English singer Charlotte Aitchison, a.k.a. Charli XCX, on social media.

Charli XCX, a Millennial, had posted that “Kamala IS brat” on X (formerly Twitter). “For the record, I was tipped off about this, what I’m about to share with our voters, er, our viewers, rather, by my 16-year-old,” Tapper said of Harris “leaning into” being “brat.”

Jamie Gangel, who will shortly turn 70, explained that “brat” is “a cool thing” characterized by a particular shade of green. Gangel said Charli XCX defines “brat” as “You’re just that girl who is a little messy and likes to party and maybe says some dumb things sometimes.”

“So is the idea that we’re all kinda brat, and Vice President Harris is brat?” asked Tapper, 55. “I will aspire to be brat.”

Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, described the segment as the “cringiest thing I’ve seen in my life,” adding that Tapper’s reference to CNN viewers as “our voters” seemed Freudian.

Biden-Linked MeidasTouch Owner Refusing to Pay Staff, Editor Quits.

Los Angeles Magazine Editor-in-Chief Shirley Halperin has resigned after just over a year on the job amid reports the publication’s owners—Mark Geragos and Ben Meiselas—have failed to pay reporters, photographers, freelancers, and other vendors for their work. Meiselas co-founded the far-left, anti-Donald Trump MeidasTouch Network with his brothers Jordan and Brett, which has spread conspiracy theories regarding the former president and Republican lawmakers.

Responding to a report in The Wrap regarding Halperin’s resignation and the failure to pay staff and freelancers, the magazine offered a non-answer. “We are proud that Los Angeles Magazine will have a profitable year in a challenging media environment, and circulation is way up,” Christopher Gialanella, the president and publisher of Los Angeles Magazine, said, adding: “We will be announcing our new Editor-In-Chief in the next two weeks.”

‘NO REGARD FOR MEDIA INDUSTRY.’

Ben Meiselas and his law partner Mark Geragos purchased Los Angeles Magazine in 2022 for an estimated $6 million. At the time of the purchase, the magazine was an unprofitable venture. Under Meiselas and Geragos, the magazine has continued to hemorrhage cash.

According to The Wrap, Greg Gilman—the executive editor for the magazine’s website—departed the publication last month over the failure to pay freelancers and the “lack of vision and strategy by new owners.” Meiselas and Geragos are said to have “little or no regard for journalists and media industry.”

The National Pulse has reported extensively on Ben Meiselas and his brothers’ MeidasTouch operation. Ron Filipkowski, Editor-in-Chief of the far-left network, has likened his organization’s behavior on social media to criminal arson, “dropping a burning ember in a dry forest” and creating a “big blaze” of fake news within hours. MeidasTouch popularized the “bloodbath” hoax against Trump, and has been praised by the Biden-Harris regime as their “front lines.”

Disgraced attorney and perjuror Michael Cohen is a regular contributor to the far-left website, which has received funding from Epstein Island visitor Reid Hoffman and the scandal-ridden Lincoln Project.

Congressman Embarrasses CNN Fact Checker on Biden’s Electric Tanks.

Representative Mike Waltz (R-FL) called out CNN‘s fact-checker Daniel Dale during an appearance on the network this week at the Republican National Convention. Dale, in an earlier appearance, claimed that Waltz had lied during his speech when the Congressman accused Joe Biden of trying to convert U.S. military tanks to battery power.

“I do want to talk about Daniel Dale, the CNN lead fact-checker who directly got on air last night and spoke to my speech where I talked about Biden’s military and his misguided priorities,” the Congressman said during the broadcast. Adding context, the CNN anchor responded, “There was a CNN fact check of your speech. You mentioned at one point—and I want to get this right—you said that Biden was focused on building electric tanks.”

The CNN host noted that the electric tank claim comes from a U.S. Army climate strategy document—however, he insisted that Dale was correct and that the document only discussed making nontactical vehicles battery-powered. At this point, Rep. Waltz came with the receipts, citing numerous reports and testimony proving his assertion.

“Let me fact check your fact-checker,” the Florida Congressman said. He continued: “I have here Bloomberg reporting U.S. Army putting its electric tanks on hold because they have to further invest in and develop the battery technology. I have testimony with the Secretary of the Army on this issue. I have the budget where they’re investing in research and development on electric fighting vehicles in addition to the nontactical vehicles mentioned in that climate strategy.”

“So I would just suggest that Daniel Dale sit down with the chairman of the Readiness Committee who reviews and approves these budgets and has the testimony and has the actual facts before he questions someone’s credibility on national television,” Waltz concluded.

BlueAnon Takes Over: One-Third of Dems Believe Trump Assassination was Staged.

New data suggests a shocking number of Democrats have bought into the conspiracy theory that former President Donald J. Trump staged the July 13 assassination attempt against him. This conspiracy has been boosted by major left-wing media figures like MSNBC‘s Joy Reid.

According to the survey conducted by Morning Consult, one-third of Democrat respondents said they believe the assassination attempt was faked—despite incontrovertible evidence. BlueAnon, a play on the QAnon conspiracy theory from several years ago, has seen a concerning number of Democrats buy into conspiracies that Trump uses a body double, among other unfounded allegations.

While the QAnon conspiracy theorists were relatively few in number, it appears news networks like MSNBC have amplified BlueAnon conspiracies, leading to a large number of Democrats believing the assassination attempt was stated.

The National Pulse reported that MSNBC host Joy Reid has emerged as a leading figure encouraging the conspiracy theory. In a post video posted to social media, Reid claims to be ‘just asking questions’ as she posits that a bullet did not strike Trump and suggests that doctors and public officials are concealing the facts about his injuries.

Meanwhile, MSNBC was forced to pull its Monday episode of Morning Joe over concerns that hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski—along with their cavalcade of far-left guests—could engage in an unhinged reaction to the shooting. According to reports, the “decision was made to avoid a scenario in which one of the show’s stable of two dozen-plus guests might make an inappropriate comment on live television that could be used to assail the program and network as a whole.”

Russians Sentence WSJ Journalist Evan Gershkovich to 16 Years for Espionage.

Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich has been sentenced to 16 years in prison by a court in Yekaterinburg, Russia. The New Jersey-born reporter, whose parents are Jewish immigrants from the former Soviet Union, is accused of “collecting secret information” about a tank factory “under instructions from the CIA.” Still, little evidence of wrongdoing has been presented in public.

Gershkovich, the U.S. government, and the WSJ all deny the charges against him, with many suspecting he is a pawn in efforts by Russia to secure a prisoner swap. Joe Biden previously exchanged Brittney Griner, a U.S. basketball player the Russians arrested on a drug smuggling charge in 2022, for Viktor Bout, a Russian arms manufacturer and trader known as the ‘Merchant of Death.’

In an interview with Tucker Carlson, Russia’s President Vladimir Putin suggested that “an agreement can be reached” for a similar swap with Gershkovich.

“Evan’s wrongful detention has been an outrage since his unjust arrest 477 days ago, and it must end now,” commented Wall Street Journal publisher publisher Dow Jones. “Even as Russia orchestrates its shameful sham trial, we continue to do everything we can to push for Evan’s immediate release and to state unequivocally: Evan was doing his job as a journalist, and journalism is not a crime. Bring him home now.”

In May, former President Donald J. Trump pledged to secure Gershkovich’s release “almost immediately after the Election” while he is still President-elect.

Joy Reid Emerges As Lead BlueAnon Conspiracy Theorist on Attempted Trump Assassination.

Joy Reid, a far-left mainstay at MSNBC, has emerged as one of the leading BlueAnon conspiracy theorists regarding the attempted assassination of former President Donald J. Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13. In a video posted on social media, Reid—under the auspices of ‘just asking questions’—posits Trump may have been struck by glass and not a bullet.

The far-left political commentator has long been seen as a liability for MSNBC, given her penchant for racially charged language and spreading false information. However, Reid‘s newest rant may be a bridge too far, even for the Democrat-aligned news network.

“We still don’t know for sure whether Donald Trump was hit by a bullet, whether he was hit by glass fragments, whether he was hit by shrapnel—we don’t have those details,” Reid states in her video, going on to falsely claim that the public has no details from Trump’s attending physician at the Butler, Pennsylvania area hospital where he was treated.

“We know almost nothing,” the MSNBC host states before plunging deeper into her bizarre conspiracy theory: “Why don’t we know that much? We know that three people were shot, and one person was unfortunately killed at the rally. We don’t know where they were sitting or standing relative to him.”

Reid continues to spin her conspiracy theory, making unfounded claims about why Trump was held in place on the stage—ignoring Secret Service protocol that requires the evacuation route be secured prior to moving a protectee. She even acknowledges that Trump was only “allowed” to stand after his security detail determined the shooter was down.

“What is the actual injury to Donald Trump‘s ear that’s under that bandage,” she asks, implying the former president may be covering something up. In an effort to further cast doubt on what millions of Americans have now seen with their own eyes, Reid declares: “It’s weird, there doesn’t seem to be a whole lot of curiosity about it… it’s just a strange thing that I’ve noticed.”

Wanting to Be Buried Alongside Your Ancestors & Loved Ones Is White Nationalism: MSNBC.

In a new low, MSNBC and Netflix news personality Alex Wagner is accusing Republican vice presidential nominee Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH) of dropping an “Easter egg of white nationalism” during his acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention. Wagner lamented that Vance’s speech “was not the same red meat, sort of blood and soil nationalism that you might hear in, I don’t know, other parallel universe Republican conventions,” suggesting she intended to smear the candidate regardless of what he said.

“I do think there were some sort of Easter eggs of white nationalism in the speech,” Wagner argued—kicking off what can only be described as an unhinged rant. She continued: “One of the things that stuck out to me was when he started talking about what America is, he said that ‘America is not just an idea, it is a group of people with a shared history and a common future.'”

She claimed that Vance‘s reference to the “plot in eastern Kentucky, where his seven or six generations of his family are buried” was a white nationalist dog whistle.

RANTING ABOUT A BURIAL PLOT.

“And I sort of understand the idea of sharing the burial plot, but it also is, it reveals someone who believes that the history that the family should inherit, and indeed the history that should be determinative in the story of the Vance family, is the history of the eastern Kentucky Vances and not the Vances from San Diego, which is where his wife is from and where her Indian parents are from,” Wagner said.

She continued: “And I just think the construction of, of this notion reveals a lot about someone who fundamentally believes in the supremacy of whiteness and masculinity, and it’s couched in a sort of halcyon, you know, revisitation of his roots, but it is actually really revealing about what he thinks matters and who America is, and that America is a place for people with his shared Western background.”

The line that Wagner found so troubling in Vance‘s speech was a recollection of a heartfelt conversation with his wife: “Honey, I come with $120,000 worth of law school debt and a cemetery plot on a mountainside in eastern Kentucky.”

Joe Scarborough Demands Biden Advisors Intervene & End Campaign: ‘Not Going To End Well.’

MSNBC host Joe Scarborough is calling on those closest to Joe Biden to “do the right thing” and push the 81-year-old Democrat out of the 2024 presidential race. A close ally of Biden, Scarborough has until now defended the octogenarian career politician’s decision to push forward with his re-election bid despite plummeting support and concerns about his cognitive decline.

“You know, it’s really incumbent on people that are around Joe Biden to step up at this point and help the President. And help the man they love. And do the right thing,” Scarborough said during Thursday morning’s episode of Morning Joe. “This is not going to end well if it continues to drag out.”

The Congressman turned left-wing news host stopped short of directly telling Biden he needed to leave the race. Instead, Scarborough suggested that Biden’s re-election bid has been hampered by aides who exist in a “bubble” and are not telling the incumbent the truth about his failing campaign.

“The anger that I hear is not at Joe Biden. The anger I hear are at the people [sic] who are keeping him in a bubble,” Scarborough said. The MSNBC host added: “That’s not just the anger from inside Congress. That is anger from inside the political, his own political camp, and it is widespread.”

As recently as March, the talk show host was insisting, “This version of Biden, intellectually, analytically, is the best Biden ever.”

Monday’s episode of Morning Joe was pulled amidst fears from MSNBC executives that Scarborough and co-host Mika Brzezinski —or their regular guests—could say something “inappropriate” about the assassination attempt against Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday.

When they returned, the seething couple threatened to quit the network if they are benched in the same way again.

Wife of WaPo Columnist Who Accused Trump of Being a Russian Asset Has Been Charged as a Foreign Agent.

Sue Mi Terry, a former senior official with the White House National Security Council and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) analyst, has been arrested and charged with acting as an agent of the South Korean government. According to federal prosecutors, Terry has been indicted for failing to register as a foreign agent and conspiracy to violate the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA).

Federal prosecutors allege the woman clandestinely promoted South Korean interests in the U.S. government in exchange for luxury handbags from Louis Vuitton and other high-end items. Terry is the wife of Washington Post columnist Max Boot—a prominent neoconservative and critic of former President Donald J. Trump.

In 2019, Boot published a column listing 18 reasons why he believed that Trump could be a Russian foreign asset. Among the reasons, the Washington Post columnist repeated the widely disproved Russia collusion hoax. Additionally, Boot insinuated that those around Trump may have been influenced by the Russians, including through business ties and gifts.

South Korean intelligence agents plied Boot’s wife, Sue Mi Terry, with luxury gifts in exchange for handing over information pertinent to the Asian nation’s interests and providing introductions to key U.S. officials. According to prosecutors, she received a  $2,950 Bottega Veneta handbag, a $3,450 Louis Vuitton handbag, a $2,845 Dolce & Gabbana coat, and multiple trips to top-tier restaurants. In addition, her policy program focusing on South Korean affairs received over $37,000 in funding from South Korean intelligence operations.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) indicates Terry began serving the interests of the South Korean government in 2013—just after she left Barack Obama‘s White House. Consequently, this means that Boot made false accusations against Trump while his wife was allegedly working as a foreign agent against the interests of the United States.
