Rachel Maddow and Her Co-Stars Made ‘Verifiably False’ Statements About a Doctor They Called the ‘Uterus Collector.’ Now His $30 Million Lawsuit Is Headed For Trial.

NBCUniversal is headed for trial after a judge ruled in favor of a Georgia doctor who MSNBC’s biggest stars accused of performing “mass hysterectomies” on women at a Trump-era immigration facility in Georgia. The judge ruled that Rachel Maddow, Nicolle Wallace, and Chris Hayes made “verifiably false” statements about the doctor, who is suing NBC for $30 million.

The discovery process in the lawsuit, which has received little attention, has drawn back the curtain on the inner workings of MSNBC, revealing how the liberal cable network works hand in hand with NBC News, which seeks to portray itself as nonpartisan. NBCUniversal’s standards department reviewed and approved the reporting on the Georgia doctor, before it was published on NBCNews.com and then broadcast on MSNBC programs. The NBC News correspondents, Jacob Soboroff and Julia Ainsley, worked closely with a standards executive during their reporting. Soboroff is also an MSNBC correspondent.

Furthermore, Maddow—who was deposed for the lawsuit—and Hayes were personally involved in the off-camera vetting and editorial conversations around the segment to an extent that can be unusual for on-camera hosts.

Maddow is reportedly paid about $30 million a year by NBCUniversal to host her show one evening a week and work on longer-range projects. 

In her ruling last month, the judge, Lisa Godbey Wood of the Southern District of Georgia,  found that Maddow, Hayes, and Wallace made 39 “verifiably false” allegations about Mahendra Amin, a gynecologist who treated detainees at a Georgia Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility. 

A nurse at the facility had made a whistleblower complaint alleging that Amin was performing “mass hysterectomies,” many of which were medically unnecessary, and that he was known as “the uterus collector.” The nurse’s claims, which she admitted were based on hearsay, were later found to be false.

“In the end, we are left with this: NBC investigated the whistleblower letter’s accusations; that investigation did not corroborate the accusations and even undermined some; NBC republished the letter’s accusations anyway,” Wood wrote in a scathing 108-page ruling on June 26. She ordered a jury trial to determine if MSNBC engaged in “actual malice,” the standard to determine defamation.

We Were “Deceived & Gaslit For Years”, All In The Name Of “Democracy”; Then “Poof”, It Collapsed Overnight

The Editor at Large for the Wall Street Journal, Gerry Baker, says: ‘We’ve been “gaslit’ and deceived” – for years – “all in the name of ‘democracy’”. That deceit “collapsed” with the Presidential debate, Thursday’.

“Until the world saw the truth … [against] the ‘misinformation’ … the fiction of Mr. Biden’s competence … suggests they [the Democrats] evidently thought they could get away with promoting it. [Yet] by perpetuating that fiction they were also revealing their contempt for the voters and for democracy itself”.

Baker continues:

“Biden succeeded because he made toeing the party line his life’s work. Like all politicians whose egos dwarf their talents, he ascended the greasy pole by slavishly following his party wherever it led … Finally—in the ultimate act of partisan servility, he became Barack Obama’s vice president, the summit of achievement for those incapable, yet loyal: the apex position for the consummate ‘yes man’”.

“But then, just as he was ready to drift into a comfortable and well-deserved obscurity, his party needed a front man … They sought a loyal and reliable figurehead, a flag of convenience, under which they could sail the progressive vessel into the deepest reaches of American life — on a mission to advance statism, climate extremism and self-lacerating wokery. There was no more loyal and convenient vehicle than Joe”.

If so, then who actually has been ‘pulling America’s strings’ these past years?

“You [the Democratic machine] don’t get to deceive, dissemble and gaslight us for years about how this man was both brilliantly competent at the job and a healing force for national unity – and now tell us, when your deception is uncovered, that it’s ‘bedtime for Bonzo’ – thanks for your service, and let’s move on”, Baker warns.

“[Now] it is going horribly wrong. Much of his party has no use for him anymore … in a remarkably cynical act of bait-and-switch, [they are trying to] swap him out for someone more useful to their cause. Part of me thinks they shouldn’t be allowed to get away with it. I find myself in the odd position of wanting to root for poor mumbling Joe … It’s tempting to say to the Democratic machine frantically mobilizing against him: You don’t get to do this. You don’t get to deceive, dissemble and gaslight us for years”.

Something significant has snapped within ‘the system’. It is always tempting to situate such events in ‘immediate time’, but even Baker seems to allude to a longer cycle of gaslighting and deception – one that only now has suddenly burst into open view.

Chaos Erupts During White House Press Briefing Over Biden-Parkinson’s Questions

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre got into a heated exchange with multiple reporters, where she declined to answer why a Parkinson’s specialist had been to the White House at least nine times in the past year.

Jean-Pierre admitted that Biden had seen a neurologist three times during his presidency as part of his annual physical, but then began to demur when asked for specifics about the visitor logs.

“Ed, I also said to you for security reasons, we cannot share names. We cannot share names,” she told CBS News senior White House correspondent Ed O’Keefe, who said she should be able to answer questions regarding Biden’s health.

“You cannot share names of others he would’ve met with, but you can share names in regards if someone came here in regards to the president,” O’Keefe shot back.

“We cannot share names of specialists broadly. From a dermatologist to a neurologist. We cannot share names,” she replied. “There are security reasons—Ed, I hear you. I cannot from here confirm any of that because we have to keep their privacy. I think they would appreciate that too.”

ABC News Pundits React in Horror to Biden Interview With Stephanopoulos: ‘Aging is Not Like a Broken Bone – It Doesn’t Get Better’

Joe Biden did his much talked about interview with George Stephanopoulos on ABC News tonight and it was a worst case scenario for Democrats.

While Biden did not make any flubs that would force him out of the race, he still came across as old, feeble and out of touch with the reality of the election, meaning that he is just as weak a candidate as he was yesterday and he is not dropping out. Democrats are stuck with him.

After the interview was over, Stephanopoulos went to his fellow ABC News pundits for comment.

The looks on their faces said it all. Look at this. They look like they’re at a funeral.

AP Slammed Over Bizarre Report Calling Biden ‘Sharp and Focused’ But Also ‘Confused and Forgetful’

The Associated Press (AP) faced intense criticism after publishing a Wednesday report stating that 81-year-old Joe Biden is “often sharp and focused” but also “confused and forgetful.” 

This report followed Biden’s disastrous debate performance last week against Donald Trump.

Five AP reporters contributed to the article titled, “Biden at 81: Often sharp and focused but sometimes confused and forgetful,” which drew significant backlash online. 

The article title itself ignited reactions from many users. “It’s real,” the Post Millenial’s Libby Emmons wrote on X, accompanied with a screenshot of the report.

“His Hand Feels Cool, Eerily Cool. That’s Why They Said He Was 40% Dead” — Democrats and the White House Have Been Hiding Joe Biden’s Cognitive Decline

Cenk Uygur commented on Olivia Nuzzi’s bombshell report about the White House hiding Biden’s cognitive decline.

Nuzzi’s piece, “The Conspiracy of Silence to Protect Joe Biden. The president’s mental decline was like a dark family secret for many elite supporters,” is the first honest report on Joe Biden’s cognitive decline.

The legacy media lied to the American public for years, knowing Joe Biden was suffering from severe dementia. Now they are finally coming clean.

But behind the scenes, powerful elites and well-connected people knew that the current Joe Biden was a husk of his former self. They even played guessing games to decide how dead he was.

Hilarious: Brian Stelter Deletes ‘Joke’ Post About Biden’s Decline After Leftists Savage Him

As the media circus around Joe Biden’s cognitive decline rages on, former CNN clown Brian Stelter found himself the target of angry leftists merely for posting how it didn’t look great that Biden signed a law to help treat Parkinson’s disease and was bragging about it.

Here’s what Stelter posted, screenshotted because he has since deleted it.

This seemingly insignificant observation made already despondent Biden supporters  irate.

The Emperor Has No Clothes: The Tragic Reality Of Biden’s Presidency And The Culprits Behind The Deception 

The tale of the emperor’s new clothes, penned by Hans Christian Andersen, is a cautionary story that highlights the dangers of deception and the folly of unquestioning obedience to authority. The story’s central theme is the collective blindness of a nation to the truth, perpetuated by a desire to maintain the status quo and avoid challenging those in power. In an eerie parallel to this classic fable, the current state of American politics resembles a similar scenario, where the emperor, in this case, President Joe Biden, is exposed as a figurehead incapable of fulfilling the duties of his office. The media, the President’s cabinet and spouse, and the American public, particularly those afflicted by Trump derangement syndrome, have all played a role in perpetuating this farce, with disastrous consequences for the nation. 

Biden’s Poor Debate Performance: The First Warning Signs 

The initial signs of President Biden’s mental decline were evident during the presidential debates in 2020. His performance was lackluster, marked by frequent verbal gaffes, memory lapses, and a general inability to articulate his policies and vision for America. Despite these glaring deficiencies, the mainstream media chose to ignore or downplay these concerning signs, instead focusing on ridiculing and demonizing then-President Donald Trump. This blind allegiance to a particular political agenda and the relentless pursuit of a specific narrative led many to overlook the troubling signals that should have raised alarm bells about Biden’s fitness for office. 

Jill Biden’s Complicity in Hiding the President’s Condition 

As Biden’s mental faculties continued to deteriorate, his wife, Jill Biden, played a crucial role in concealing the severity of his condition from the public. The first lady went to great lengths to shield her husband from scrutiny, often intervening during interviews or public appearances to correct his mistakes or redirect the conversation. This pattern of behavior was an apparent attempt to mask the President’s cognitive decline, further perpetuating the myth that he was a capable leader. 

The Mainstream Media’s Culpability and the Biden Cabinet’s Deception 

The mainstream media, long known for its left-leaning bias, played a pivotal role in propping up the false image of a competent and capable President Biden. Instead of fulfilling their responsibility to hold the President accountable and scrutinize his actions and policies, the media chose to disregard the obvious signs of Biden’s mental decline. This dereliction of duty enabled the President’s cabinet, a group of individuals with their own political agendas, to capitalize on Biden’s diminished state to advance their nefarious policies. 

These policies, which include open border immigration, the dismantling of America’s energy independence, and the erosion of individual freedoms, have wreaked havoc on the nation, causing economic instability, social unrest, and a general sense of despair among the American populace. The Biden cabinet’s ability to manipulate a mentally incapacitated president to further their own interests is a clear indication of the corruption that has infiltrated the highest levels of American government.

Why Didn’t the Media Notice Joe Biden’s ‘Jet Lag’ Sooner?

Addressing questions from reporters at the White House on Wednesday, Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre once again attributed President Joe Biden’s disastrous debate performance to jet lag following travel and a cold.

“He had a schedule that was rigorous, the travel he had to do, going from Italy all the way to the west coast,” said Jean-Pierre. “I think, that can have a toll on anyone, whether you’re 20 or 80.”

Most people don’t get to travel in as much relative comfort as the president of the United States—there’s a bed on Air Force One, after all—but yes, it’s true that travel can be exhausting. To be clear, however, the debate took place a full 12 days after Biden had returned from his trip. Moreover, the fact that the President of the United States is such a demanding job is precisely why voters are so worried about Biden’s advanced age.

The reporters in the room, to their credit, were unimpressed by Jean-Pierre’s attempt to spin the situation and pressed her to address the public’s mounting concerns about Biden’s fitness for office. Several elected Democrats and prominent spokespersons for the party, including Julián Castro and Tim Ryan, have called on Biden to drop out. The Atlantic, The Chicago Tribune, The New York Times, and several of its columnists think he should exit the race. And most importantly, support for Biden is cratering: 74 percent of overall voters now say he is too old to be president, and former President Donald Trump has widened his lead substantially. Vice President Kamala Harris now polls two points better against Trump than Biden does, though Trump is still ahead of her.

But why did it take so long for the mainstream media to pursue this line of inquiry, even as evidence of Biden’s cognitive decline became increasingly obvious? Well before the debate, the American people have consistently expressed a high degree of concern about the president’s ability to serve a second term. Polls dating back to February found that a majority of Democrats and three-quarters of overall voters had serious qualms.

Covid Vaccine Injuries Go Mainstream in Australia

Propaganda narratives shift slowly over time to absorb aspects of undeniable reality, whilst minimising damage to the interests of those benefiting from the big lie.

First, the Covid vaccines were safe and effective, and we were set to experience a pandemic of the unvaccinated. Get vaccinated to protect your community!

Next, the shots were safe and effective, but with rare side-effects, mostly mild. Still, the benefits outweighed the risks. Get vaccinated to protect your healthcare system!

In the latest narrative update, experts say all the shots except AstraZeneca’s are safe and effective, and they admit that vaccine injuries can be life-ruining, though still very rare. But Covid is worse. Get vaccinated to protect against Long Covid!

In an ‘After Covid’ Spotlight special on commercial media channel 7NEWS over the weekend, a panel of experts reflected on Australia’s Covid response. Tellingly, vaccine safety (or rather, lack thereof) occupied 17 out of a total 53 minutes, more than a quarter of the airtime.
