THIS JUST IN! DOO-DOO SANTIS AND HIS MASTER PLAN TO WIN!

BULLY BOY PRESS CEDRIC'S BIG MIX  -- THE KOOL AID TABLE  

AROUND THE COUNTRY TODAY, PEOPLE CELEBRATED JUNETEENTH AND THE END OF SLAVERY IN THEIR OWN WAY.  SOME GATHERED WITH FAMILY, FOR EXAMPLE.  DOO-DOO RON RON HAD HIS OWN WAY: BY CALLING FOR FORT LIBERTY TO BE RENAMED FORT BRAGG AFTER THE DISGUSTING OFFICER THAT FOUGHT FOR SLAVERY AND AGAINST THE UNION.



REACHED FOR COMMENT, DOO-DOO TOLD THESE REPORTERS, MUST CREDIT BULLY BOY PRESS CEDRIC'S BIG MIX, "I AM AN AMERICAN CITIZEN IN 2023.  OF COURSE I SUPPORT SLAVERY.  WHAT DO YOU THINK WAS BEHIND MY EFFORTS TO END AFRICAN-AMERICAN STUDIES IN FLORIDA?  I HATE ALL PEOPLE BUT I HATE AFRICAN-AMERICANS AND LGBTQ+ PEOPLE MOST OF ALL."

IS THAT A WINNING STRATEGY WHEN YOU WANT TO BE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES?

"JONATHAN TURLEY TOLD ME IT WAS," DOO-DOO EXPLAINED.  "TURLEY AND ME ARE SO TIGHT.  TWO MEN COULDN'T BE CLOSER WITHOUT SLEEPING TOGETHER.  HE IS OUR SECRET WEAPON.  HE CAME OVER TO OUR SIDE LONG, LONG AGO.  CHRISTY TODD WHITMAN RECRUITED HIM AND WE HAVE THE VIDEOS TO BOTH PROVE IT AND TO KEEP HIM IN LINE.  I AM RUNNING ON THE PROMISE TO HITLARIZE AMERICA AND JONATHN TURLEY IS MY ADVISOR, HE IS MY HEINRICH HIMMLER."



FROM THE TCI WIRE:

Okay, let's note Paul Rudnick and then we'll return for the climatic closing where we explain Chris Hedges' latest bit of journalistic malpractice.



Chris Hedges.  Chrissy Lynn.  "Why does it matter that he lied about Iraq?"   An e-mailer asked that.

Honestly, I think the answer is that it doesn't matter to you.  

Why that is, you'll have to ask yourself.  I don't know you.  And seriously doubt that I'd want to at this point.

Over a million Iraqis are dead because of an illegal war.  I don't fake ass.  I'm not Tulsi Gabbard lying to Joe Rogan and then revealing her real colors on the debate stage when she's finally standing next to Joe Biden and can call him out but chooses not to and goes even further by excusing his vote for the Iraq War and then spending the following days repeating that excuse to anyone who will put her on camera.  With that face -- she might consider a chemical peel -- she's never going to get many chances to be on air.  FOX "NEWS" needs her so they ignore her cult membership and the fact that the cult is extremely anti-Christian.  Remember that the next time FOX tries to pose as though they're devoted church goers.

Over a million Iraqis are dead.  



In the desert sun
Every step that you take could be the final one
In the burning heat
Hanging on the edge of destruction, oh
You can't stop the pain of your children crying out in your head
Oh, they always said that the living would envy the dead




Tina Turner singing her hit "One Of The Living" written by Holly Knight.

And it's the truth.  The dead are the luckier ones of the two, they're gone.  It's their children and friends and family that are left behind to suffer the loss.



Or they don't matter as much as your need to fan-boy Chrissy Lynn?  "Friend of the show," Katie Halper calls him.  Do journalism ethics not matter to Katie Halper?


His lies are not to be overlooked.  

For example, look at the following which he wrote last week:



I have known Cornel for many years. We drove together, leaving at 3:00 am from our homes in Princeton, New Jersey, to attend the trial at Fort Meade of U.S. Army whistleblower Chelsea Manning. I was in the visitors room at the prison in Frackville, Pennsylvania, as Cornel gripped the shoulders of the political prisoner Mumia Abu-Jamal and told him “You have Frederick Douglass in you, brother!” Tears streamed down Mumia’s face. Cornel and I held a People’s Hearing of Goldman Sachs in Zuccotti Park during the Occupy movement where those who were evicted and bankrupted by big banks testified against the heartlessness and greed of corporate capitalism. We have spoken together at rallies in support of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement against the Israeli-apartheid state. We walked three miles on a sweltering July day in Philadelphia with thousands of homeless people to the Wells Fargo Center during the 2016 Democratic National Convention, because housing is a human right. 

I was with Cornel when Bernie Sanders delegates, disgusted by the machinations of the Democratic National Committee against their candidate and his endorsement of Hillary Clinton, walked out of the convention. Cornel turned to me and said presciently, “Bernie lost his political moment.” 

We have taught classes together in East Jersey State Prison. We have spoken on stages at universities where Cornel has demanded reparations for Black people and called for a guaranteed income for all citizens. I have heard him denounce the prison industrial complex as “a crime against humanity.” I have listened to him call for  universal health care, canceling student debt, free university education, freedom for Julian Assange and heard him thunder against those who deny women access to abortion.

Cornel officiated, along with the theologian Dr. James Cone, at my ordination as a Presbyterian minister. We spoke, and wept, at James’ funeral in 2018 at Riverside Church. James wrote that we must stand, no matter the cost, with the crucified of the earth. 


  


Check my math but I believe the column that's from is 30 paragraphs long.  Those are the only paragraphs in the column -- about Cornel West being the People's Party's presidential nominee where Chris talks about knowing Cornel.  And the comments are from "when we spoke about his decision" on that car ride he mentioned in the above excerpt.



Do you see the problem?

Maybe not.  But it's a lie.  It's a full on lie.  When Chrissy published his lies, he thought he could get away with it.  I mean the garbage we just quoted from SCHEER POST -- but actually, he thought he could get away with it at THE NEW YORK TIMES as well.  He got away with it at THE TIMES.  It was years before Jack Fairweather at MOTHER JONES and FAIR's COUNTERSPIN noted Chrissy's Iraq lies.  Then it was circle the wagon and protect the creep.

Which is why everyone knows Judith Miller's name today but no one knows Chris Hedges in regards to pimping a war on Iraq.  Judith Miller wasn't the co-author of the piece Dick Cheney waved around on MEET THE PRESS -- Chrissy was.

Chrissy lies.  It's a pattern he cannot break.

And he lied at SCHEER POST.  Oh, he shared how they were friends and all the times they did this and that.

So people think he told the truth about Cornel and about the nomination.  They think he did.  But he lied.

And he might have gotten away with it if the nomination from The People's Party hadn't blown up in Cornel's face. 

We noted it yesterday, refer to that interview with BLACK POWER MEDIA.  Stream it.
[Video added below for those who had trouble finding it on their own.]






Then go back and read Chrissy Lynn's lies.  Grasp that Chrissy is just a detached observer in his 'report' on the news.

But the reality is that it's Chris who recruited Cornel for that nomination.

It's Chris who planned to be his running mate -- but Chris' wife said no at the last minute.

That's not in the 'report,' is it?

A backroom deal took place and Chrissy, in 'reporting' on the news, leaves all that out.

Again, he didn't expect to get caught or, rather, outed.  He thought he'd get away with lying yet again.  What happened though was Cornel made a huge mistake -- huge -- and wasn't ready to sink with the ship by himself.  Or, if we're being charitable, maybe he just saw Chrissy as a life preserver.

Floatation device or not, Chrissy lied.  If he'd done that at THE NEW YORK TIMES, he would have been fired on the spot.  If this column had been published by THE NEW YORK TIMES when he worked there, he would be fired.  Not warned.  Not written up.  Fired.

You do not get away, as a journalist, with writing about a campaign that you instigated when you're not revealing that detail.

Why didn't he?

Is it somehow damaging?

Doesn't let him present himself as just an observer, no, but he flat out lied.

Robert Scheer is a huge disappointment and has been to most on the left since at least the mid-seventies -- which is why when THE LOS ANGELES TIMES dumped him, no other paper came forward.  Then he had TRUTH DIG until he didn't.  Now he has SCHEER POST -- however much longer that lasts.   It shouldn't last a day more since it won't correct Chrissy's lies -- there will be no needed note such as :"We were disappointed to learn -- after publishing this column -- that Mr. Hedges was actually active in seeking and securing the presidential nomination for Cornel West.  At SCHEER POST, we take disclosure seriously and would never knowingly attempt to deceive our readers."

Oh, well, Chris survived his plagiarism scandal, he'll probably survive this as well.


My favorite quote in that article about Chris plagiarized for a piece on poverty that he submitted to HARPER'S?  The HARPER'S fact checker explaining, "Hedges not only used another journalist’s quotes, but he used them in first-person scenes, claiming he himself gathered the quotes. It was one of the worst things I’d ever seen as a fact-checker at the magazine. And it was endemic throughout the piece."


Remember that when you're reading Chrissy Lynn or when you see him on a YOUTUBE program.  Remember that he's a liar.  Not just Iraq, not just Cornel but a serial liar in print.  Over and over.
