Journalism Isn’t About ‘Unity’: The Complete Domination of Pornography
From the Left: Journalism Isn’t About ‘Unity’
“Building consensus might be the role of a politician, but it’s not mine,” declared Matt Taibbi from Racket News during his congressional testimony this week. He targeted John Kerry’s remarks at the World Economic Forum, where Kerry lamented that “‘it’s really hard to govern’ due to people ‘self-selecting’ their news sources.” “What’s next? Letting people ‘think for themselves’?” He noted that many Americans are outraged upon discovering over $400 million funneled to an organization named Internews, whose leader has suggested that journalism should strive for unity on ideas like the COVID-19 vaccine’s effectiveness. However, Taibbi argued, “the press doesn’t exist to promote ‘unity’ or political agendas.” “That’s propaganda, not journalism.”
Culture Critic: The Complete Takeover of Pornography
A Super Bowl advertisement for breast cancer awareness featuring an “up-close parade of gleaming, creamy jiggling breasts” indicates that “the total pornification of culture is complete,” warns Valerie Stivers at UnHerd. “Porn is unstoppable.” Female audiences are captivated by Romantasy, a genre that frequently veers into explicit descriptions of penetrations and orgasms. Young men now consume “rap music” that is heavily sexualized and devoid of substance. The ultimate outcome of the sexual revolution has been the commodification of sex, which is now a recreational activity. The result? “A loneliness epidemic,” along with a “generation of oversexualized teenagers” who are “having less sex” and an alarming rise in porn addiction and erectile dysfunction among young men.
Foreign Desk: Starmer Poses a Threat to the U.S.
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s proposal to transfer control of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius “poses significant strategic risks for the U.S.,” cautions Dominic Green at The Wall Street Journal. The Chagos Islands host a pivotal UK-U.S. air and naval base termed the “Footprint of Freedom.” Notably, “Mauritius has friendly ties with China,” which could seize this opportunity to increase military presence in Chagos, deploying surveillance systems and anti-aircraft weaponry. Starmer and the Labour Party “are effectively surrendering on America’s behalf” — “this is not indicative of a trustworthy government.” The agreement originated from a Joe Biden initiative, also part of a “decolonization” agenda imposed on the UK by an international court. President Trump should firmly oppose this and remind “Labour of where Britain’s interests truly lie.”
From the Right: A Maestro of Corruption
National Review’s Jeffrey Blehar remarks that the recent conviction of Mike Madigan, previously America’s “longest-serving state legislative leader,” comes “far too late for the citizens of Illinois who endured 40 years of his influence.” Labeling Madigan as merely a humble legislator with a modest salary is “utter nonsense,” especially considering he was the founding partner of his own law firm, Madigan & Getzendanner, which conveniently provided expensive tax-policy advice and ‘lobbying’ services to clients. “For 40 years, Mike Madigan was essentially the face of Illinois politics — the man through whom everything had to flow”; thus, the “nexus for bribery, fraud, and extortion is evident.” While he may not have entirely transformed “the state of Illinois into a colossal pay-to-play Democratic governance scheme,” he “brought it to its ultimate culmination.”
Education Beat: Our Schools Have Failed
“When William graduated from high school in 2024 in Clarksville, Tennessee, he was unable to read the words on his diploma,” reports Frannie Block from The Free Press. “This is why William decided to sue his school district.” A federal appeals court has sided with him. “Teachers knew of the issue but did nothing to rectify it,” yet he received “high marks in his classwork throughout his entire four years of high school, despite their awareness of his illiteracy.” It’s no surprise that “national standardized tests illustrate that American students’ reading and math proficiency is at a three-decade low” due to grade inflation. Kudos to this student: His “lawsuit sheds light on how this situation affects some of our nation’s most vulnerable students.”
