No matter how violent or profane, the news is the news, and that’s what White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany tried to show to White House Press Corps reporters in her press briefing today.

“Fox News cut away on Friday from a White House briefing when Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany showed footage of violent demonstrations in Portland, Oregon, because the video included images of profane graffiti on a federal courthouse. “(Breitbart, July 24, 2020)

Many folk are used to the signature graffiti left on federal buildings by Black Lives Matter, Antifa and are in fact sickened by it.

“We were not expecting that video, and our management here at Fox News has decided we will pull away from that at this time,” said anchor Harris Faulkner. (Breitbart)

“Faulkner returned to airing the briefing once McEnany started taking questions from the press corps. At the end of the hour, Faulkner said the network had not been aware McEnany planned to show the video. Faulkner suggested she preferred to be given a heads up for violent and profane content.”

Since when did news networks presume the rights to heads up for violent and profane content from videos shown at White House press briefings?

Aren’t most protests, claimed by the Democrats to be “peaceful”, violent and profane?

What’s “peaceful” about protests where innocent people are abused and where businesses are destroyed?

What happened to a major network like Fox News’ ability to bleep out profanity?

Why couldn’t Fox simply have cut away from the offensive graffiti on display and continue on with the coverage of the profanity on video by talking over it?

Surely it wasn’t to keep Ms. McEnany from making her point to White House reporters?

“Democrats have maintained that the riots in Portland were “peaceful protests.” Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti claimed Thursday that the rioters in Portland represented “the best of our democratic ideals.” (Breitbart)

“Protesters in the video loudly shouted expletives, and one protester even expressed her wish that police officers would die.” (Washington Examiner, July 24, 2020)

Today wasn’t the first Fox News cut away from something they did not seem to want to report.

Just a little more than a week ago, Fox News host Neil Cavuto used the cut away tactic:

“Thursday, Fox News host Neil Cavuto cut away during a speech by President Donald Trump on deregulation to fact-check his claims that former President Barack Obama had enacted “job-destroying regulations.” (Breitbart) (Canada Free Press, July 16, 2020)

“Cavuto said, “I do want to clarify a couple of things he said, that no president in history has cut regulations as much as he has. That is true. I think he might have mischaracterized the regulations that were added under Barack Obama — they were largely financial related. You might recall we had this little thing called the financial meltdown, and much of those regulations were geared to preventing banks from ever investing in things like risky mortgage securities, pooling them, selling them off.”

“He continued, “The unemployment rate did, under Barack Obama, go down from a high of 10% to around 4.7%. President Trump, of course, sent that even lower, eventually getting us down to a 3.5% unemployment rate. But I didn’t want to leave you with the impression that during those eight years when Obama first came into office, and we were bleeding about a million jobs a month that that was standard fare and that characterized the whole eight years.”

“He added, “It was not a disaster under Barack Obama. Not only did the Dow essentially triple during his tenure, but whether you want to call the increase regulations and other things that police financial companies, as a bane to our existence, those companies did very well. Americans did very, very well. So I just want to put that in some context here.”

Reporting on the violence of the protesters in Portland is part of the job for any news outlet.

Cutting away is not telling it like it is.

As Canada Free Press cartoonist Dag Barkely points out about the latest Fox News cutaway:

“The (Fox News) management felt you’re not allowed to see the truth of what is really happening.“

White House Briefing with Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany

Education took a drastic twist with the turn of the century. In the works for decades, the very definition of education underwent major overhaul, completing the transformation of teaching into indoctrination.

Education majors watched how programs that once imparted methods of teaching subject matter to pupils refocused on implementation of redefined language – words and phrases corrupted over time to condition thought processes instead of encouraging an exchange of ideas. Retooled teacher training stressed class management techniques (crowd control) and appeasing students and/or parents to avoid litigation. Teaching straightforward content such as math, history, grammar, spelling, etc. got lost in the shuffle.

The steady change in language to suit institutional programming has been wildly successful. Easily influenced non-binary Generation Z (or whatever the ‘newspeak’ has designated 20 to 30-somethings) have had their minds so challenged by educational standards (otherwise referred to as brainwashing) that the level of personal confusion has created a zombie-like herd of social destroyers.

They are the conditioned mobs roaming the streets of progressive-run cities – Seattle, Portland, Minneapolis, Chicago, New York, etc. – fire-bombing businesses, despising law enforcement, stealing property, and demolishing municipal infrastructure to create filth-ridden social anarchy that looks askance at murder.

How did America, of all nations, reach this crossroad? By redefining ‘education’ to makeover public schools and colleges into radical training centers. The fruits of sixty years of communist-leaning academic programming is tearing down what liberty built, replacing orderly freedom with catastrophic chaos.

Destructive education is now embedded in colleges and universities, both public and private. No academic discipline has been immune from the implementation of Marxist precepts under the expansion of teachers’ unions over the last century.

The rugged individualism that built America’s greatness (so detested by communist educators that are now in the majority at learning institutions) has taken a beating even in the business sector. Business programs have been undermined by collectivist thought, converting capitalism into marketing – otherwise understood to be the promotion of acceptable social behaviors. As far as most colleges are concerned, capitalism is dead and commerce must conform to social justice ‘norms.’

Corporations have abandoned established business practices by jumping on the bandwagon, either openly funding the anarchist Black Lives Matter or routing funds through secondary organizations like the ACLU, NAACP, African American Leadership Forum or Equal Justice Initiative. How some of these organizations utilize the funds is clear as mud because rhetoric is the byword in a post-Covid-19 commercial world. It is the word commentators use in place of the less genteel term shortened into the initials B.S.

Hundreds of millions of dollars are being allocated by corporations believing that by underwriting divisive social justice groups they are promoting commerce. They are, in fact, undermining their freedom to create wealth by supporting non-profits that create administrative programs that do little more than make minority members think something is being changed to promote minority success.

It is how marketing has permeated every aspect of commerce, beginning with business and social education. Establishment educators now teach rhetoric as an accepted component of business curricula, demonstrated by the syllabus for a core class at BYU.

There are two prongs to the ‘devolution’ of the American business model that is being relentlessly implemented in this election year. First is the misrepresentation of the Wuhan virus “pandemic.

Mark Levin broadcast taped comments of Ron Klain in 2009 on CSPAN at the Biological Attacks and Pandemics Forum (a Biden staffer at the time and later Obama’s Ebola Response team coordinator), clearly stating “We did every possible thing wrong,” regarding the 2009 outbreak of Swine flu. “60 million Americans got H1N1” when the epidemic was swept under the rug by discontinuing flu testing. And what did Obama do? Absolutely nothing. No lock-downs, no masks, no social distancing, no school closures and the United States survived without a problem. (Mark Levin Show, July 16, 2020 approximately at the 49-minute mark.)

Compare the 60 million number to the 3.5 million cases worldwide. The overreaction now is an attempt to destabilize the government making it ripe for a democrat takeover, under which comes the second prong attack:

It’s the  Marxist-directed destruction of cities under the guise of social justice that amounts to the dual spread of misery by targeting so-called white privilege. But it’s not the white population that’s suffering most under the incendiary, violent rioting. It’s the small minority-owned businesses and big box stores that are being looted and burned. The purpose appears to be clear – target small business that can’t recover without government assistance, and take out the major commercial centers that cater to minority communities, leaving them without goods and services. Yet major corporations are funding the groups bent on destroying them.

Through it all, blame is directed at white privilege to divide communities and plummet commercial districts and inner cities into engineered poverty. Along with this scheme is the promotion of a ‘defund the police’ movement in an attempt to create a disgruntled, angry minority population that the anarchists believe will form a backlash against law and civil order.

What the resistance hadn’t expected is how their plan is backfiring as more city dwellers of every color are crying out for more police presence to protect them from the lawlessness and murder being promulgated right outside their front doors.

While teachers’ unions are suing Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for expecting them to return to school and do their jobs, black community members and preachers like Bevelyn Beatty are taking their message to the streets, literally. Supporting law and order and the re-opening of businesses and schools, courageous individuals are painting over anti-social Black Lives Matter graffiti to make the point that America is composed of people of every color, creed and faith and they’re past ready to open for business and resume free enterprise.
