Lefty Journo Publishes Iran-Hacked Vance Dossier, Gets Booted by Twitter

Fox News media reporter Joseph Wulfsohn found a confessional tone among liberal national reporters at the Texas Tribune Festival in Austin as they assessed how they under-covered President Biden’s age and cognitive decline. [Photo by Wulfsohn] The September 7 panel included Peter Baker of The New York Times, Laura Barron-Lopez of PBS, Jonathan Lemire of Politico and MSNBC, and David Smith of The Guardian (U.K.). Baker called Biden's age a "hard issue" to cover, but suggested journalists broadly need to do some "soul-searching" on how they handled it after the election. He claimed the Times had presented this issue, but when they did, “The editors, our writers got massive complaints from the White House about it. The campaign took after the reporters who did focus on this. And yet it was our responsibility to do so." Team Biden’s “massive complaints” surely worked for quite a while, even after special counsel Robert Hur said he wouldn’t indict Biden for possessing classified documents because a jury would find him to be “an elderly man with a poor memory.” Baker added: "I can sit down and make the case that we did too little about it. I can make the case we did too much. I can play it either way. But the truth is, it's an important issue. And President Biden himself said it was a legitimate issue. And when he was asked about this, his answer was, ‘Well, watch me.’ Well, people did ultimately. And that, of course, came back to haunt him in a severe way in June," at the disastrous CNN debate. Smith conceded the possibility of bias: "There was perhaps, even on an unconscious level, the notion that if you focus so much on Joe Biden's age, you are somehow helping Donald Trump." "We weren't relentlessly covering, the way some of my peers were, Biden's age necessarily, even all the way up until the debate," Barrón-López said. "It is and was a valid question. Many times when I was on the trail, even before the debate, voters would bring it up. Almost every single voter I spoke to would bring it up, even if they were planning to vote for President Biden. Compared to now, I definitely think that Donald Trump's age could be covered more by the press." Smith asserted, "the further you were away from Washington… the clearer you can see the problem," telling the panel how his fellow British colleagues at The Guardian were saying "What on earth are the Democrats playing at here? The nominee is too old! Why is he the nominee?" "And then the closer you got to Washington, the White House in particular, the more caveats, the more ambiguous it became," Smith said. "You had all sorts of people - Democratic insiders and White House officials playing this down… It took a while for Washington to catch up and in a sense, the media as well." Lemire called the issue of Biden's age a "persistent story line" and suggested Biden brought it upon himself after he previously suggested during the 2020 campaign that he would be a transitional one-term president," saying it "couldn't be avoided." "I think that even though that led to the, shall we say, unhappiness of some of the MSNBC's viewing public who felt like, ‘Hey, why are you focusing on this? It shouldn’t matter. He's doing a great job.' And I think our job is to simply call it like we see it," Lemire said. Wulfsohn didn't mention that Lemire was sitting there at the table when his morning bro Joe Scarborough responded to the age questions jn March with a profane tirade: "I'm about to tell you the truth. And F-you if you can't handle the truth. This version of Biden intellectually, analytically, is the best Biden ever."

We have previously defined “Trumpwashing” as the Regime Media’s established practice of willfully sitting on a story until such a time as it can be reported in a Trump-adverse angle. Case in point: Springfield, Ohio, which the media didn’t care about until after the second presidential debate. The media are now trying to Trumpwash Aurora, Colorado. The Regime Media have been notoriously silent about the activities of violent transnational gang Tren de Aragua (TdA) in the Denver suburb. Or anywhere else, for that matter. As we’ve noted, Univision and Telemundo have consistently been the only national over-the-air newscasts to cover TdA. Until now. Watch this weird Trumpwashing of Aurora in its entirety, as aired on the NBC Nightly News on Wednesday, September 26th, 2024 (click “expand” to view full transcript): TOM LLAMAS: We are back now with another American city in the center of a firestorm over immigration. Former President Trump has claimed Aurora, Colorado, is being overrun by Venezuelan gangs. We sent Gabe Gutierrez there to find out if it's true. GABE GUTIERREZ: This video of armed men roaming an apartment complex in Aurora went viral. It was captured by Cindy Romero's security camera. CINDY ROMERO: This was terrifying. And I don’t wish it on anybody. GUTIERREZ: She says the nightly violence forced her to move, and she showed us the bullet holes in her car. ROMERO: It was never meant to be political when I released it, of course. It was meant to bring awareness so the people in my building could get help. GUTIERREZ: Her videos thrust Colorado's third largest city into the national spotlight, prompting former President Trump to repeatedly rail against Venezuelan migrants here, including today. TRUMP: They're going in with guns that are beyond even military scope and they're taking over apartment buildings and they're literally taking over those towns. GUTIERREZ: Trump and his allies have highlighted a Venezuelan prison gang: Tren de Aragua, or TdA. Homeland Security officials tell NBC News they have more than 100 criminal investigations nationwide into TdA, including for sex trafficking and shooting police officers, calling TdA “the next MS-13”, a violent gang from el Salvador. But police in Aurora stress the gang is not overrunning their city, and that it's unclear whether the gang is responsible for any violent incidents at three apartment complexes, one of which has been shut down. Immigrant Carlos Orizgoti lives in another.  (IN SPANISH): Do you believe the story has been exaggerated? CRLOS ORIZGOTI (IN SPANISH): Yes. Yes. GUTIERREZ: He tells us the story has been exaggerated for political reasons and that most Venezuelans are here to work.  MIKE COFFMAN: I want the former president to come because I want to show him the city. I want to show him that the narrative is not accurate by any stretch of the imagination. GUTIERREZ: Mike Coffman is Aurora's mayor.  You're a Republican. COFFMAN: Correct. GUTIERREZ: You're a Donald Trump supporter. COFFMAN: I'm going to vote for the president. GUTIERREZ: But you don't agree with him on this particular narrative. COFFMAN: No. GUTIERREZ: We asked the mayor whether he regretted saying it first, the apartments had fallen to the gang. He says he does not. Because he was going off police reports he’d been given at the time. Tom. LLAMAS: All right, Gabe Gutierrez for us tonight. Gabe, we thank you for that. It is worth repeating that, save Univision and Telemundo in defense of their business interests, no one in the Regime Media was interested in reporting on TdA.  Think about it: the story is Chernobyl-level toxic to the presidential aspirations of Kamala Harris; proof evident of the current administration’s failures on border policy. Each new report would expose viewers to the idea that the Biden Administration threw open the border and allowed tens of millions of illegal migrants into the country with no vetting.  And so it is that Tren de Aragua in Aurora, which has been the subject of significant reporting, draws Regime Media silence until such a time as there is a Trump rhetorical exaggeration of some sort that can be cited as the factual basis for “targeting” of some sort. Correspondent Gabe Gutierrez performs the Trumpwashing, with each of the now-standard elements: the local who is freaked out that her citizen reporting went viral, the migrant saying no such thing is happening, and the concerned local official.  A major story that is detrimental to Democrats in power, sat on until a Trump-negative angle can be concocted. If it weren’t for Regime Media, we’d have none at all.

The X platform was criticized heavily after the company temporarily suspended an independent journalist for publishing a private document allegedly hacked from the Trump campaign and leaked by Iran. Ken Klippenstein posted the 271-page document to his Substack account on Thursday. 'I’m just not a believer of the news media as an arm of the government.' Many believed Klippenstein was then suspended from X because he had posted the sensitive documents, but a statement from the company provided a different reason for the action. “Ken Klippenstein was temporarily suspended for violating our rules on posting unredacted private personal information, specifically Sen. Vance’s physical addresses and the majority of his Social Security number,” the statement said. The document included the vetting investigation into Vance by the Trump campaign and reportedly had embarrassing and private information about the senator from Ohio. Klippenstein said he posted the documents because they were of "keen public interest" during an election campaign. “I’m just not a believer of the news media as an arm of the government, doing its work combatting foreign influence,” he added. “Nor should it be a gatekeeper of what the public should know.” Both Politico and the Washington Post had said they received the documents from an anonymous source via emails in July, but they refused to publish them. “These documents were obtained illegally from foreign sources hostile to the United States, intended to interfere with the 2024 election and sow chaos throughout our Democratic process," said Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung at the time. On Wednesday, Trump revealed that intelligence officials had briefed him on alleged efforts from the Iran regime to assassinate him. "Big threats on my life by Iran. The entire U.S. Military is watching and waiting. Moves were already made by Iran that didn’t work out, but they will try again," he wrote on social media. "An attack on a former President is a Death Wish for the attacker!" he added.Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox.

Security video captured a man bizarrely spitting on an 11-year-old walking to school and then groping the girl while pretending to help her clean the spit from her shirt, police said. 'This is the M.O. of a sexual predator. This is a parent's worst nightmare.' The incident unfolded near 71st Street and 54st Avenue in Maspeth in the Bronx borough of New York City on Friday at about 8 a.m., according to the NYPD. Video shows the man walk toward the girl and then casually spit out his drink onto her. He pretends it was an accident and then reaches out to clean the mess before groping the girl's backside, according to police. Police said that the same man used the same ploy to attempt to sexually assault a 12-year-old moments later. "Predatorial, dangerous, and common denominator: young girls going to school," said NYPD Chief John Chell to WNBC-TV. "This is the M.O. of a sexual predator. This is a parent's worst nightmare."The girl was treated at a hospital and is expected to be okay. The NYPD later announced the arrest of a suspect identified as 27-year-old Kadeem Laguerre of Brooklyn. He was arrested and booked on a charge of first-degree sexual assault. Police are asking for anyone with additional information in the case to contact them. Video of the bizarre incident can be viewed on the news report from WNBC on YouTube. Like Blaze News?
