Media Bias
This British “journalist” just proved why no one takes them seriously anymore
It’s bad enough that the American media feels the need to lecture us about things they don’t understand.
Now it seems the rest of the world’s media mavens find it necessary to do it too.
But this British “journalist” just proved why no one takes them seriously anymore.
On the one hand you really can’t blame them.
The British aren’t really known for their knowledge of American culture. After all, it was their lack of understanding American individualism that cost them the colonies in the first place.
And they’ve never quite understood the United States and our passion for self defense and protecting our families and our nation.
Even when it means heading “over there” to protect Britain from Nazi Germany.
The British inability to understand American culture is almost as famous as their inability to cook.
And nowhere is this more evident than in their total lack of the ability to grasp the American gun culture-the American passion for our Constitutional Right to keep and bear arms.
So it shouldn’t come as a big surprise when a BBC “journalist” in what he thought was a clever attack on that culture ended up with poached egg on his face.
The British media personality fell flat on his face and instead faced swift mockery and ridicule after trying to bash the United States for our ease of gun and ammo sales.
BBC reporter Pádraig Belton tweeted out that he couldn’t find an adapter for his laptop at a Walmart but they were selling rifles and ammunition.
The problem is he then showed a picture of …BB guns!

You know, the kind of toy guns most 6, 7, or 8 year-old kids play with.
The kind of “guns” that might leave a mark if you get shot with one real close up.
The kind of “weapons” that probably wouldn’t even stop a column of Redcoats (I said probably).
As you can imagine, the responses to our friend from across the pond were hilarious.
“OMG Walmart sells BB guns that shoot tiny pellets almost powerful enough to bruise a squirrel,” read one response.
Another popular response with more than 8,000 likes was, “First, those are BB guns. Second, our guns are the reason we don’t bow to a queen.”
“I truly thought this was satire. OMG! How do they let you be a journalist? More importantly, how have you not seen the Christmas Story?!? It’s literally a toy,” another critic weighed in.
Not surprisingly, the reporter did not respond to any of the thousands of replies, almost all of which mocked him.
Maybe he shot his eye out.

WATCH: Jen Psaki uttered five words in her MSNBC debut that had everyone spitting out their coffee
Jen Psaki has officially moved from paid Joe Biden spokeswoman to “objective” journalist.
This is standard operating procedure for the establishment press.
But Jen Psaki uttered five words in her MSNBC debut that had everyone spitting out their coffee.
Former White House Press Secretary has transitioned from getting paid by the taxpayers to lie for Joe Biden to getting paid by MSNBC to lie for Biden.
The relationship between Democratic politicians and the so-called mainstream media is truly incestuous.
At the last White House Correspondents’ Dinner, comedian Trevor Noah joked, “Congratulations to Jen on your big career change. But, you know, moving to MSNBC is going to be a big switch-up for you because right now your current job is to make the Biden administration look as good as possible, you know, at all costs. Now you’re gonna be at MSNBC and you’re gonna have to—you’ll be fine, actually.”
In the launch for her poorly named MSNBC show Inside with Jen Psaki, the former White House press secretary took a shot at Republicans fighting back in the culture war.
Psaki tweeted, “Let your woke flag fly” in an attempt to drum up interest in her monologue.
Psaki argued, “For Republicans, wokeness is Public Enemy number one…By the sound of it, there is simply no greater threat to American liberty; whether or not they believe it, they clearly think it’s a winning message ahead of 2024. And it makes you think, are they on to something? Should I be freaking out about how right-wing Republicans are co-opting woke and wokeism? My gut here is no; you don’t need to be too worried about their war on woke because the Republican crusade against wokeness may not be as potent of a campaign issue as they may hope.”

Psaki’s entire premise fell flat.
If voters weren’t concerned about wokeness, Glenn Youngkin would not have won the gubernatorial race in Virginia against former governor and Democrat Party boss Terry McAuliffe.
Parents have rallied to school boards across the country to protest neo-Marxist garbage like critical race theory and postmodernist garbage like radical gender theory.
The Democrats are clearly concerned about the war on “woke” because they are desperately attempting to reframe the argument.
But it’s too late.
Left-wing insanity now has an identifiable name, and that name is woke.
Leftists thrive off moving in silence and using nonsensical terms and concepts.
Now that their craziness has been exposed and given a name, the Democrats are scrambling to change the narrative.

Joy Reid dropped jaws with this move for a journalist who attacked Ron DeSantis and discovered the consequences
MSNBC’s war on Ron DeSantis continues apace.
Joy Reid has arguably been the network’s most dutiful crusader against the Florida Governor.
But Reid dropped jaws with this move for a journalist who attacked Ron DeSantis and discovered there are consequences for his actions.
Axios reporter Ben Montgomery spoke truth to power when he labeled a DeSantis administration press release “propaganda,” or at least he did so according to the people deeply ensconced in a left-wing echo chamber.
After Montgomery’s unprofessional outburst, he was let go by Axios, and now he’s being regarded as a hero of the journalist class.
Axios’ perspective looks like they had reason to let him go, and did, because he just refused to do his job.
Nevertheless, MSNBC host Joy Reid decided to invite Montgomery to appear on her program “The ReidOut” to speak about the “injustice” against him.
Reid asked, “There is a bullying aspect and a lot of trolling. They do a lot of Twitter trolling. They tried to bully my dear friend and colleague Andrea Mitchell for asking a question not even to DeSantis, to the Vice President, Kamala Harris. Did you experience, before this, any kind of bullying behavior from the DeSantis camp?”
First, Andrea Mitchell was forced to apologize because she said Florida was banning the teaching of slavery.
Pushing back on that narrative is not “trolling.”
And neither Axios nor Mitchell’s employers at NBC News would ever be accused of being pro-DeSantis.
Montgomery responded, “I’m not writing about them every day. I’m not digging deep, in other words. So yeah, but this was propaganda and it was a waste of my time. That’s ultimately what I was saying to them. It’s wasting my time and it’s done in a clear vein of propaganda. This is objectionably propaganda.”
This was arguably Montgomery admitting that he refused to do his job.
Many self-proclaimed “journalists” in the legacy media have made whole careers doing little more than write-ups on press releases from administrations left and right.
But somehow Montgomery is now a martyr for essentially quiet-quitting from a left-wing outlet.
Montgomery continued, “I want to do right by my readers. And so when this wastes my time and it’s just propaganda, I feel like I have a right to say so. And I feel like what Axios did to me has a chilling effect on the entire news media. It’s a very sad thing.”
This is truly absurd.
If Montgomery thought it was propaganda, he could’ve written about it, done some actual investigative journalism, and enlightened readers with anything he uncovered.
But evidently he couldn’t or wouldn’t.
Instead, he chose to play the victim card, and there could be a financial incentive.
Montgomery added, “I was talking to my agent today about whether there was a book in this, and maybe there is. Maybe it’s time that somebody isn’t afraid to stand up to DeSantis, write a true biography of him. So I might be the guy to do that we’ll see.”
And there it is.
Montgomery refused to do his job, and now he’s attempting to parlay that into a book deal.

This Hunter Biden confrontation finally has the legacy news networks interested in the First Son’s legal drama
No First Son’s drama has ever provided the legacy media with as much fodder as Hunter Biden’s has.
But now Hunter really has their blood up.
Because this Hunter Biden confrontation finally got the legacy news networks interested in the First Son’s drama.
When a bombshell report came out about a laptop containing all kinds of compromising information on Hunter Biden—and by extension Joe Biden—members of the corporate-controlled media, including legacy broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC), circled their wagons to protect the Democrat in 2020’s Presidential election.
The story was effectively suppressed enough to help get Joe Biden elected with one poll showing 17% of those who voted for him would not if they had known about details regarding Hunter Biden’s sketchy business deals.
While major outlets have been forced to admit that the Hunter Biden “laptop from hell” story is accurate, they’re still doing their best to prop up the Biden family despite evidence Hunter Biden’s “business deals” apparently revolved around selling access to his politically connected father.
Their latest move is to cheer on Hunter Biden’s lawsuit against a Delaware computer repair shop owner.
The shop owner, John Paul Mac Isaac, says Hunter Biden dropped of three MacBook laptops for repair.
Only one could be salvaged, but 90 days later Hunter Biden still hadn’t returned to pick up his computer.
Since Isaac apparently wasn’t provided with correct contact information when Hunter dropped off the computers—no surprise since the First Son was clearly drunk at the time—he searched for email addresses on the computer in hopes of getting in touch with the owner.
And he found way more than he bargained for.
Recognizing the importance to national security, Isaac contacted the FBI then eventually members of Congress and others to ensure the laptop, which amounted to a landmine worth of evidence against the Biden Family, was being taken seriously.
Now, Isaac is being sued by Hunter Biden for “defamation”—a charge that shouldn’t have a chance of standing considering that the law is always supposed to side with truth.
The latest filing in that lawsuit brought with it one phenomenal “pants of fire” moment with ABC’s Lucien Bruggeman reporting that Hunter Biden is taking an “increasingly offensive legal tack” in a case that “until recently…largely avoided public confrontations about his business dealings.”
Bruggeman went on to falsely claim that the computer shop owner “emerged as a central figure in the drama surrounding Hunter Biden’s laptop in the waning days of the 2020 Presidential campaign, when images, emails, and text messages allegedly belonging to Hunter Biden emerged in public and galvanized the national conversation as voters took to the polls.”
Of course, that isn’t even close to true.
The corporate-controlled media studiously ignored the laptop story in late 2020 even as their friends in Big Tech aggressively censored anyone who tried to share it.
Bruggeman also noted that “ABC News has not reviewed nor verified the contents of the laptop or hard drive.”
That last statement was the most truthful part of the whole article.
Other networks, including CBS and NBC, have finally admitted that the story about Hunter Biden’s laptop published by the New York Post in 2020 was legitimate.
But ABC News remains loyal to the Biden regime acting more like the President’s press office rather than a legitimate news organization.
And the more supposed journalists choose to align themselves with the crooked First Son, the more likely they’ll go down with him in disgrace.
