So like Koch/Newsweek’s The Debate podcast, Off The Press seems intent to present both sides of the political spectrum, so long as they’re both criticizing liberals.
A few links later, it linked to an AP story ( syndicated to Yahoo ) about climate and clean energy not being in the bipartisan/Exxon’s infrastructure bill, under a “unfilled promises” section. Oh really? The best stories, from all political angles? Well let’s just pop over to Off The Press and see what we have.Īh, well in the top-left column is an “IRONY ALERT” that refers to Reuters and the Associated Press (which is so mainstream their style guide is basically the entire industry’s standard) as “liberal news outlets” in a link to TownHall. That will be the sole mission of Off the Press.”Ĭurl wants to create something “consumers can trust”, and said that “its perspective will be mainly conservative” but still, “will include coverage from all political angles.” The columnist, Joseph Curl, told his (still) employer of his new venture, “the internet needs an editor to cull the very best stories and present them on a single site. Unfortunately, this isn’t even the newest attempt by the right to pass itself off as mainstream and find ways to bypass the fact-checking in mainstream media.Īccording to a story at The Washington Times yesterday, a columnist for the Washington Times is starting a news aggregator website to rival Drudge.
#Daily kos stupid liberas professional
It turns out that in addition to being an editor at Newsweek, Hammer is a lawyer for the “Internet Accountability Project” (dedicated to pushing the lie that social media is too mean to conservatives) and a fellow at the far-right Edmund Burke Foundation, which is basically the Dutch version of Heritage or Heartland.įeel free to listen to the podcast or read the transcript for the details, but the short version is: Hammer is a die-hard professional conservative, and his co-host on the left is Batya Ungar-Sargon, who Hammer describes as “an anti-woke liberal.” So, The Debate appears set up to have conservatives who hate liberals on one hand, and liberals who hate liberals on the other. Somehow, they both "agree violently" that "people are losing faith in the American elite and the institutions that harbor them." (We guess if anyone knows about the elite ruling class selling out America, it's the people who sold themselves out to the elite!)Īnd that was our assessment before finding a Heritage foundation podcast with Newsweek’s opinion editor and The Debate producer, Josh Hammer, recorded at the conservative-troll-farm Turning Point USA’s in-person summer summit in Tampa.
It's called " The Debate " and they're very obviously just doing outrage-bait to generate controversy with topics on guns, voting rights, cancel culture, pot, #MeToo, and our favorite, whether "the ruling class" has "sold America out." That one features a guest who's former CIA and another from the Koch-funded AEI. Their latest effort appears to be a new podcast, from which Goldstone and Taylor’s pieces were excerpted. They were bought by a shady cult a few years ago and have since started turning more fully to rightwing conspiracy mongering.
Why would Newsweek publish obvious disinformation from a career liar? First, because Newsweek now is not the Newsweek you likely remember.
