Quotations from Chairman Maher;
Katherine Maher has a golden résumé, with stints and affiliations at UNICEF, the Atlantic Council, the World Economic Forum, the State Department, Stanford University, and the Council on Foreign Relations. She was chief executive officer and executive director of the Wikimedia Foundation. And, as of last month, she is CEO of National Public Radio. […]
What you notice first about Maher’s public speech are the buzzwords and phrases: “structural privilege,” “epistemic emergency,” “transit justice,” “non-binary people,” “late-stage capitalism,” “cis white mobility privilege,” “the politics of representation,” “folx.” She supported Black Lives Matter from its earliest days. She compares driving cars with smoking cigarettes. She is very concerned about “toxic masculinity.”
On every topic, Maher adopts the fashionable language of left-wing academic theory and uses it as social currency, even when her efforts veer into self-parody. She never explains, never provides new interpretation—she just repeats the phrases, in search of affirmation and, when the time is right, a promotion.
Maher understands the game: America’s elite institutions reward loyalty to the narrative. Those who repeat the words move up; those who don’t move out.
Let her explain more clearly: “Our reverence for the truth might be a distraction that’s getting in the way of finding common ground and getting things done.”
“Authorities have repeatedly declined to state the religion of the alleged attacker”
“Despite the media’s ill wishes, the priest is expected to make a full recovery”.

I’m offering three examples of widely followed stories where I believe we faltered. Our coverage is out there in the public domain. Anyone can read or listen for themselves and make their own judgment. But to truly understand how independent journalism suffered at NPR, you need to step inside the organization.

“Hi this is Beth Reinhard I’m a reporter with the Washington Post. I’m so sorry to bother you. I guess I’m trying to reach probably your spouse [redacted] and I wasn’t sure if I had the right number and I guess I don’t but if you could pass this message to him I would be super grateful,” the voicemail transcript obtained by the Daily Caller reads. “I’m working on a story about, profile, of Tim Sheehy, who knew your husband at the Naval Academy, and we just wanted to know, hoping to talk to him about his experience.”
O’Keefe: Inside The Federal Reserve
Hidden Camera captures Principal Economist @federalreserve talking about Jerome Powell’s legacy as “somebody who held the line against like, Trump.” The influential agency responsible for maintaining a stable monetary system appears to not just be establishing interest rates, but to be setting policies for desired social outcomes.

Putting Their Thumb On The Scale
Globe and Mail- Federal officials asked Facebook to take down false allegations about Trudeau
The country’s top civil servant directed bureaucrats to ask Facebook to remove a “false and inflammatory” story about Prime Minister Justin Trudeau during the 2019 election campaign, but did not make a similar request of WeChat, which spread false information about Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole and MP Kenny Chiu in the 2021 election, the public inquiry into foreign interference heard Friday.

Please: “stop adopting people as mascots”
…last week, a constellation of online right influencers all began in unison to practically cream over a young black gentleman called Coleman Hughes, who — judging by his various TV hits promoting his new book — really, really wants you to know that 1) he’s only voted for Democrats (including Biden), 2) that he’s a “political independent” (albeit one that has only voted for Democrats), and 3) that he’s a CNN contributor who also writes for Bari Weiss. On these points he is insistent.
Yet in an exchange with Sunny Hostin on “The View,” Hughes very capably and very effectively rebuffed what we’ve most of us come to expect as the typical racialist ambush, one leveled at nearly every black public figure who meets the legacy media having challenged the left’s racial orthodoxy — which sadly, is more and more becoming an overt return to racial essentialism.
It was a fine performance by Mr Hughes, to be sure. But this is “The View,” home to some of the dumbest women on planet earth.

Potemkin Presidency: She with a script, he with a teleprompter
Former ESPN host Sage Steele revealed that her 2021 interview with President Biden was “scripted” by network executives.
In an interview with Fox News Digital, Steele recalled the “structured” nature of the pre-taped interview, so much so that her ESPN bosses handed her a “script” to go off of.
“That was an interesting experience in its own right because it was so structured,” Steele said. “And I was told, ‘You will say every word that we write out, you will not deviate from the script and go.’”

Court proceedings for a number of those involved with the Coutts Freedom Convoy protest will be resuming soon; pre-trial hearings for Tony Olienick and Chris Carbert resume on March 18, and the trial of Marco Van Huigenbos, who had become the de-facto representative of the protesters at Coutts, and a number of his co-accused, get under way on April 2.
Pre-trial hearings for Van Huigenbos and Co. wrapped up recently, and some interesting responses from the Crown to defense applications took place.

Things You’ll Never See On The CBC
Is it true that @OmarYKhan, a @CBCNews employee earning $216,000 per year deleted this post claiming how @JustinTrudeau’s $10 daycare saved him over $10,000 last year?
That seems kind of scuzzy.

A Few Covid Truth Bombs
On the most recent episode of their podcast, Adam Carolla and Dr. Drew Pinsky discuss what facts authorities knew very early in 2020 but chose not to act upon. Instead, their decisions to be dishonest about the facts, caused irreparable harm to children across the Western World. Have any of them ever been charged with anything for these actions or even suffered professionally. You know the answer. Sadly, you already know the answer.
