I’ve heard two interviews with Mr. Rindsberg and he makes a strong case for the paper being untrustworthy in many important areas and outright lying to support a preferred narrative throughout its history.

The reviews are worth a read, but this one outlines some of the major events the book addresses:

The Times has been wrong about so many important stories. Or they tell great stories, they’re just not true. The Holocaust, Ukrainian Famine, Hitler, Castro, Ngo Dinh Diem, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. So how are we supposed to believe the NYT on Trump, Biden, and Global Warming? This book carefully documents the background info on the NYT’s past misinformation, which very much resemble what we’re seeing from them today. Well written, too.

While—AND THIS IS THE CRUX—feeling ENTIRELY JUSTIFIED in so doing.

This cannot be stressed enough.

(It’s as though the Sanders “incident” was their Munich Pact…. It gave them, they most certainly felt, the “green light”…and they then decided to continue the criminal subterfuge with Russiagate, with the stolen election the icing on the toxic cake.)

And people talk about Putin….
…without realizing that “Biden” and Putin are essentially two peas in a pod.

File under: “What is TRUTH?”

However, this will do.

Make no mistake, the DNC admitting to having the right to rig the 2016 democratic primary is just the tip of the iceberg. f this goes to trial, America will see even more of the dark underbelly that is the American election process.

Why am I not surprised that it did NOT go to full trial.

2017 September

Over the past year, there has been a group of Bernie Sander’s supporters fighting a class action lawsuit against the Democratic National Committee (DNC), alleging that the DNC had committed fraud by taking donations in a “rigged” primary battle. Part of the lawsuit claimed that the DNC illegally favored Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton over Sanders and were in violation of the DNC charter as a result.

The judge assumed that the allegations were true but dismissed the case on the grounds that the supporters who felt defrauded should redress their grievances through “the ballot box” — by voting out DNC leadership in internal elections. It was revealed by WikiLeaks emails from the DNC hack that under the guidance of the now scandal-ridden former chairperson of the DNC, Deborah Wasserman Schultz, the party leadership had shown high levels of favourability towards Hillary Clinton and that they quashed the campaign of Bernie Sanders to make sure she won the nomination.
…
The DNC representatives argued that there was no right to have a fair and open primary and that they could simply have chosen the candidates as a committee and given that candidate to the people,

Appeals were still in process 2 years ago; no idea what happened after that.

The suit showed that not only did the Democratic Party view its own bias as protected by the First Amendment, but that it also considers its chartered promise of impartiality the equivalent of the kind of political campaign promise that political figures make and break on a routine basis. In a response brief, DNC representatives claimed that the DNC had no established fiduciary duty “to the Plaintiffs or the classes of donors and registered voters they seek to represent.”

Defense counsel also claimed that Sanders supporters knew the process was rigged.
…
As Jared Beck recognized in his book “What Happened to Bernie Sanders,” the outcome of the legal proceedings in the DNC Fraud Lawsuit should not overshadow the value of what has already transpired in the suit’s litigation process. Beck writes: “Because the case was dismissed on preliminary grounds and well before proceeding to the merits – and because appellate courts rarely reverse cases – it is unlikely that my client’s claims will ever be tried before a jury.”

The sentiments expressed by the party’s own defense counsel indicate that the DNC sees the democratic process in its nomination procedure as meaningless, with the real decisions determined by party insiders. Establishment media has hardly held them to account. DNC cheerleaders in the corporate press have not only ignored the fraud perpetrated by the DNC in 2016, but some have argued that “Too Much Democracy is Bad for Democracy.”

Drowned in the white noise of constant Covid-19 coverage, the latest development in the DNC Fraud Lawsuit is critical not only in terms of understanding a snapshot of election history, but in providing clarity regarding current and future presidential elections.

From Senator Joe Biden’s primary victories in states where he failed to so much as open a campaign office, to consistent disparities in exit poll data compared with official vote-counts that repeatedly favored Biden in the official result, the DNC Fraud Lawsuit stands as pivotal evidence of the DNC’s real attitude towards its donors and primary voters.

Regardless of the legal outcome in this case, the proceedings have already served as invaluable evidence of the rot in the democratic system in the United States.

Good place to slip in this story of a “liberal left” sort of changer, a former NYT employee and reporter at other outlets, plus one of her posts directly on point.
She’s not Red-pilled yet and ready to register as a Republican, but at least she’s willing to call out her former colleagues.

It reminded me of another classic, The New York Times headline from last year: “The number of people with the virus who died in the US passes 300,000.” The story did not tell me the number of people with eyeballs who died, but it’s probably more than 300,000 so I’m wondering when we are going to start a crusade to protect us from those fiendish orbs which almost all people who die are found to have.

For contrast, The New York Times used this phrasing, in 1991, about AIDS deaths: “Last year, 31,196 Americans died of AIDS.”

And that, children, is how we used to do it, before the lying liars took over.

2021 April

Like most people in their 40’s, my life has been marked by ups and downs and personal and professional defeats. But more unusually, mine are entwined with the world’s most famous brand in news and one of its most damaging scandals.

That scandal is just one of many scandals detailed in a new book by American author and essayist Ashley Rindsberg, The Gray Lady Winked. The book dives into the overlooked history of misdeeds and misrepresentations by The New York Times in its writing, as journalists like to say, the first draft of history. A mutual friend put Ashley in touch and he sent me advance copy of the book in late 2020, a year in which my own view of the paper had shifted dramatically from admiration and implicit trust to shocked dismay.

This is is an essay that details my disillusionment with the Times as well as my personal experiences at the place: a sad story in three parts.

Given that the “Democratic” Party has openly, legally, and unquestionably acked that they are, in no sense, required to be even in the least manner “democratic”, and the massive noise of crickets that followed, this is about as likely as they finally getting outraged about that NOW.

Bidet receiving the largest number of popular votes ever… argues otherwise. Proof positive that they can ‘elect’… anyone.

Of course one of those cretins may be less unlikable than Kamala Harris, I really don’t know. To me it’d be like choosing between falling off a ladder or playing tetherball with a hive of africanized bees.

Neither is Willie’s ho’.

It wouldn’t surprise me if Gov. Stacey Abrams (D-Diabetes) competed quite well in a Democratic Party donnybrook. We shall see.

The fanfare before the anointment of the Kamala!

And with another turn or two of the screw, the K can be discarded in favor of the Pelosi, who can lead the screeching Progressives into their oh-so-permanent triumph despite loss of the Congress.
