TREASON !!!1!!11!1!!!1!1!!1

Somebody at the Fair 'n' Balanced Network is in line for those free tickets on the unheated cattle train to Siberia! Here's the morning's lead story:
In addition to such naked heresy, note this addition in the reporter's own voice:
 
The Trump administration, in its first three years, ramped up military spending and cut taxes, two priorities for the president that worked in conjunction to increase the deficit even as it made cuts elsewhere in the budget. The attitude toward the deficit under his administration is out of character for a Republican president, especially after Republicans of the early 2010s raised hell over increases in government spending during the Obama administration.


Shall we see how long this one survives in the top position?

None dare call it a party

So if you'd been hearing today that no American has been convicted of treason since the 1940s, you might have found yourself what "aid and comfort" looked like in the good old days. Well, apparently sort of like giving a party for an escaped Luftwaffe aviator who had made his way south from captivity near Toronto convinced he could expect a kind reception in Motown. The clever paint job -- "German" in "German restaurant" was painted over sometime after Pearl Harbor, per the cutline -- apparently didn't throw the law off track.

Below is the front after FDR commuted restaurateur Max Stephan's death sentence. The secondary stories are almost as interesting as the leads: above, a Mystery Death as Fr. Coughlin's weekly fishwrap was being investigated; below, a follow on the 1943 Detroit riots.

On what planet ...

... with how many backward-rotating methane-fed suns, does the editor of the, you know, New York Times become "NYT Jill"?

Oh, right. The strange world of the Murdoch redtop! These are from the spring 2004 stash:

TV Henry is broke
TV Kiefer injured in bar fight
TV Carol sees spot where skydive daughter died
TV Chris is new Dr Who


In other words, The Drudge Report* isn't just the sort of place where stories reflecting gender equity issues get headlines that, you know, exemplify gender equity issues. It's also the sort of place that bows to foreign headline dialects, and that's just flat-out un-American. (Not to mention the claim quotes.)

When, when will Drudge and the New York Post be held to account for their traitorous headlines? Only you have the answer, America!

* If you get the "war" bit, you read far too much paranoid media for your own good and should take a vacation.
