Trump vows to boycott ‘Fake News’ networks after Democrats bar Fox from hosting 2020 debates

CAP

US President Donald Trump is threatening to boycott mainstream media by refusing to appear on their airwaves during the 2020 debates, after Democrats said they’d bar Fox News from hosting its own debates.

Trump declared he wouldn’t participate in debates hosted by “Fake News Networks” during the 2020 campaign season, in retaliation for Democrats’ announcement they would refuse to allow Fox News to moderate any of their party’s debates.

The Democratic National Committee declared Fox News would not “serve as a media partner” for any of its candidates’ debates in 2020 following a New Yorker report detailing an “inappropriate relationship” between the Trump administration and Fox.

“The network is not in a position to host a fair and neutral debate for our candidates,” DNC chairman Tom Perez said in a statement released to media on Wednesday.

While this show of defiance is not new – the DNC made the same choice in 2016, claiming Fox’s conservative bias would prevent them from getting a fair shake – the New Yorker report goes one step further, claiming Fox is “the closest we’ve come to having state TV,” quoting an “expert on presidential studies”…whatever that is.

According to the New Yorker, the late Fox News founder Roger Ailes had tipped Trump off to debate questions; the president’s frequent Fox News appearances and his hiring of multiple former Fox News personalities (including Heather Nauert as State Department spokesperson and Bill Shine as White House communications director) are held up as proof of – you guessed it – still more collusion.

Even his detractors know Trump is ratings gold, and if he actually follows through on his tweet and refuses to appear in debates moderated by non-Fox networks, the executives will most likely be howling with outrage, even (especially) those who hate him.

Then again, Trump needs attention at least as badly as CNN needs ratings, some pointed out.

Trump’s supporters reliably cheered the move,

Breakup of EU ‘can’t be ruled out’ if Brussels tries to enforce pro-immigration policies – Orban

CAP

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has said that a breakup of the European Union cannot be ruled out if one part of the bloc tries to impose pro-immigration policies on another.

Quoted on the Hungarian government’s website, Orban said he could see a danger of fragmentation within the European Union.

“If we are left alone and they do not force islamisation on us, Europe can continue to live as the club of free nations,“ Orban said, but added that if Brussels forces Hungary “to accept the UN migration pact or the European Commission’s decisions so as to make us fit their own Western concessive policies, a breakup [of the EU] cannot be ruled out.”

Orban has repeatedly butted heads with the EU over his reluctance to open Hungary’s borders to refugees, denouncing “Muslim invaders” and saying that no country should be forced to adopt imposed immigration policies or adhere to quotas set in Brussels.

ANOTHER LIBERAL HATE HOAX? THIS TIME AOC WAS THE ALLEGED TARGET

Another Liberal Hate Hoax? This Time AOC Was The Alleged Target

Leftist reporter claims to have seen anti-AOC graffiti but provides no evidence

 | Infowars.com – MARCH 6, 2019

In what could be the latest example of a left-wing, fake hate report, Mother Jones D.C. bureau chief David Corn claims to have found “obscene anti-AOC graffiti in a bathroom stall at the Phoenix airport.”

CAP

The liberal reporter failed to document the alleged vandalism for proof, writing, “I’m not going to post a picture of it.”

Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport’s official Twitter page commented on Corn’s post and asked for a location so their maintenance team could solve the issue.

CAP

Corn eventually responded, saying he took a United flight to Houston around noon and that the bathroom was near that flight’s gate.

CAP

However, after checking all restrooms in the area, the Sky Harbor facilities team didn’t find anything.

CAP

It’s not beyond the realm of possibility that Corn could have made up the entire incident as we’ve seen the left engage in a multitude of phony political attacks over the past few years.

Just today, the Western Journal published an article highlighting 18 falsely reported hate crimes blamed on Trump supporters.

In fact, most reported “hate crimes” since President Trump was elected have been proven to be hoaxes.

Anti-SJWs Launch “Alita Challenge” To Boycott Man-Hating Captain Marvel

By Tyler Durden

The backlash against Captain Marvel has reached a boiling point ahead of Friday’s premiere, after star Brie Larson slammed the number of white male movie critics reviewing her films – while others have taken issue with the feminist marketing campaign behind Marvel’s “big feminist movie.”

The ensuing flood of complaints against both Larson and Marvel Studios resulted in a 28% drop in box office projections, while popular movie review site Rotten Tomatoes made site-wide changes, removing their “Want To See” feature from the website.

Larson’s “Social Justice Warrior” (SJW) supporters have branded the backlash as a classic case of misogyny; men who simply can’t stand a strong female lead in a superhero movie – however this analysis falls short in light of the overwhelming popularity of hollywood productions such as the Resident Evil, Alien and Kick Ass franchises, not to mention the Hunger Games, the Fifth Element – and of course, badass heroine Sarah Connor from the Terminator series.

Enter the “Alita Challenge”

Combating the SJWs is a new social media campaign created by comic fans who just want to watch an agenda-free action movie. Dubbed the “Alita Challenge” and operating under the hashtag #AlitaChallenge, moviegoers are encouraged to ditch Friday’s premiere of Captain Marvel and instead see Alita: Battle Angel – an adaptation of the popular Japanese cyberpunk manga series which features a female lead, yet doesn’t include a “girl-power” agenda or feminist marketing. What’s more, while Alita star Rosa Salazar is no fan of President Trump, she hasn’t denounced 30% of the US population.

In describing the Alita Challenge, OANN‘s Jack Posobiec explains that Disney, which owns Marvel, has been cramming “SJW bullcrap” down people’s throats – noting they “did it to Star Wars,” and the Avengers – and now they’re doing it with Captain Marvel.

“We’re going to stop giving money to people who hate us,” says Posobiec, who wants movie studios to leave their politics at the door.

The #AlitaChallenge isn’t the first challenge to the toxic femininity surrounding Captain Marvel – as conservative actor James Woods tweeted on Sunday: “When you have a choice, pick a movie where the studio doesn’t hate half its audience…”

CAP

Many have also noted that Rotten Tomatoes professional critics have widely panned Alita despite an incredibly high audience score, while giving Captain Marvel rave reviews.

CAP

Perhaps it should also be noted that the Hollywood Reporter said Captain Marvel is “Mundane” and “marked by unimaginative plotting, cut-rate villains, a bland visual style and a lack of elan in every department.”

Of course, the Hollywood Reporter‘s Todd McCarthy is a white male… and may not be looking for a “her-o”

Trailers for both movies can be seen below. Of note, Alita‘s has 129,000 thumbs up vs. 5,700 thumbs down, while Captain Marvel has 1 million thumbs up vs. 93,000 thumbs down.

Tlaib Boasts She’ll Introduce Legislation By End Of March To Impeach Trump

“This is an emergency for many of us.”

By Hank Berrien

On Wednesday morning, Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), who yelled to a cheering crowd in January on her first night as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives “we’re gonna impeach the mother***er” about President Trump, announced that by the end of March she will introduce legislation to impeach the president.

Tlaib blustered, “We saw record turnout in an election year, where people wanted to elect a jury that would begin the impeachment proceedings to Donald Trump. We want to work on these economic justice issues, racial justice issues and everything. But guess what? There is a wall there, and a constitutional crisis that is not going to [let us] do our jobs as American Congress members to push a lot of these agendas forward,” according to The Hill.

Bragging about the new Democratic members of Congress, Tlaib added, “This is the largest class since Watergate. This is a class — a diverse class — that comes … with a sense of urgency to act. To act to hold corporations accountable, to act in holding President Trump accountable, to act to really try to see real reforms, even within our congressional process. This is an emergency for many of us.”

On the night after she joined the House of Representatives, Tlaib cried, “People love you and you win. And when your son looks at you and says, ‘Momma, look you won. Bullies don’t win.’ And I said, ‘Baby, they don’t, because we’re gonna go in there and we’re gonna impeach the mother***er.’”

The week she was inducted into the House, Tlaib published an op-ed in the Detroit Free Press calling for Trump’s impeachment. She wrote:

President Donald Trump is a direct and serious threat to our country. On an almost daily basis, he attacks our Constitution, our democracy, the rule of law and the people who are in this country. His conduct has created a constitutional crisis that we must confront now …

We already have overwhelming evidence that the president has committed impeachable offenses, including, just to name a few: obstructing justice; violating the emoluments clause; abusing the pardon power; directing or seeking to direct law enforcement to prosecute political adversaries for improper purposes; advocating illegal violence and undermining equal protection of the laws; ordering the cruel and unconstitutional imprisonment of children and their families at the southern border; and conspiring to illegally influence the 2016 election through a series of hush money payments …

We are also now hearing the dangerous claim that initiating impeachment proceedings against this president is politically unwise and that, instead, the focus should now shift to holding the president accountable via the 2020 election. Such a claim places partisan gamesmanship over our country and our most vulnerable at this perilous moment in our nation’s history. Members of Congress have a sworn duty to preserve our Constitution. Leaving a lawless president in office for political points would be abandoning that duty …

This is not just about Donald Trump. This is about all of us. What should we be as a nation? Who should we be as a people? In the face of this constitutional crisis, we must rise. We must rise to defend our Constitution, to defend our democracy, and to defend that bedrock principle that no one is above the law, not even the President of the United States. Each passing day brings more pain for the people most directly hurt by this president, and these are days we simply cannot get back. The time for impeachment proceedings is now.

Tlaib is not the first House Democrat to pursue impeaching Trump. Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA) has introduced articles of impeachment; Rep. Al Green (D-TX) has promised to reintroduce a motion to impeach the president.

Dems won’t let FOXNEWS host debate…

See the source image

By Reid Wilson

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) said Wednesday it would not permit Fox News to host a presidential primary debate, citing an explosive story this week alleging deep ties between the conservative network and President Trump’s inner circle.

In a statement, DNC Chairman Tom Perez said he had held conversations with Fox News about potentially allowing the network to host a primary debate. But he said the story, published in The New Yorker, caused him to end conversations with the network.
“Recent reporting in The New Yorker on the inappropriate relationship between President Trump, his administration and FOX News has led me to conclude that the network is not in a position to host a fair and neutral debate for our candidates. Therefore, FOX News will not serve as a media partner for the 2020 Democratic primary debates,” Perez said in the statement.
The Washington Post first reported the DNC’s decision to exclude Fox News.
The DNC has already announced they will hold as many as 12 debates during the primary contest, including six this year. The first debates are scheduled for June, on NBC, MSNBC and Telemundo, and July, hosted by CNN.
Fox News had been lobbying to get its own debate, and Perez had considered partnering with the conservative outlet.
In a statement, Fox News senior vice president and Managing Editor Bill Sammon said the network hoped the DNC would reconsider, citing the network’s journalists Chris Wallace, Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum, “all of whom embody the ultimate journalistic integrity and professionalism.”
“They’re the best debate team in the business and they offer candidates an important opportunity to make their case to the largest TV news audience in America, which includes many persuadable voters,” Sammon said in an emailed statement.
“I believe that a key pathway to victory is to continue to expand our electorate and reach all voters. That is why I have made it a priority to talk to a broad array of potential media partners, including FOX News,” Perez said.
The New Yorker article, by correspondent Jane Mayer, detailed deep ties between Fox News and the Trump White House.
Former Fox executive Bill Shine is now the White House communications director, and Mayer reported on allegations that former Fox News chief Roger Ailes had given Trump a heads-up about potential questions he would face in a 2016 primary debate.
After leaving Fox News amidst a sexual harassment scandal, Ailes — who has since died — advised the Trump campaign.
Fox News has not hosted a Democratic presidential debate for several election cycles. In 2016, the DNC partnered with Fox News on a primary debate in San Francisco, though that event was later canceled.
