Flashback 2012: Andrew Breitbart Declares War On CNN & New York Times

Flashback 2012: Andrew Breitbart Declares War On CNN & New York Times | Video | RealClearPolitics:
"In footage that came to light as a part of the 2012 documentary 'Hating Breitbart,' the right wing populist website's co-founder Andrew Breitbart explains his plan to attack and destroy the mainstream media, specifically CNN and the New York Times.
"The media class is the wall that we have to climb over in order for our voices to be heard," he said. "Once our voices are heard, then Democracy will happen."

Breitbart passed away suddenly in March 2012 at age 43. Stephen K. Bannon, who took over Breitbart's news website after his death, is now the top assistant to the president.
"My goal is to destroy the New York Times and CNN," Breitbart said in the video. "And not just them."
"That they would take our criticism and our acting as their checks and balances --the fifth estate on the fourth estate-- that they would correct themselves and become better citizens."
"They've chose not to go that route and I really believe and I'm committed to the destruction of the old media guard... and its a very good business model." Breitbart said. "I believe that from that something better will come."
"The media class is the wall that we have to climb over in order for our voices to be heard," he concludes. "Once our voices are heard, then Democracy will happen."

The "Day Without A Woman" Strike Details Are Out, And Here Are 3 Ways To Participate
"After the Women's Marches across the country and the world last month, many wondered what the next step would be in the resistance. 
In early February, the organizers of the Women's March announced they would stand with the grassroots organizers putting together a one-day strike on March 8, 2017 called "A Day Without A Woman." 
Although we've known about the date for a little over a week now, few details were available about the strike itself. 
On Thursday, though, the Women's March organizers announced the  "Day Without A Woman" strike details. 
There are three fairly simple ways to get involved and make an impact, so read on for how you can participate in the strike.

SOURCE: Women's March on Twitter

The Women's March website suggests three ways to participate in the strike:

1. Women take the day off work — whether you are paid or unpaid.
2. Refrain from shopping for the day — or if you must shop, choose small, women- and minority-owned businesses.
3. Wear red in solidarity with those participating in and supporting the strike.

FAKE NEWS ATTACK!-----DaTechguy Meets Students TBS & Fake news at Donald Trump’s CPAC 2017 Speech

DaTechguy Meets Students TBS & Fake news at Donald Trump’s CPAC 2017 Speech – Da Tech Guy Blog:
"...As I was trying to type in what the President said as he said it a young man came up to me and kneeled between me and the Yahoo people who were set up to my left in the aisle (I was in the end seat) and sought my attention.
I immediately noticed that he had a badge that said TBS. 
This seemed a tad odd to me since TBS is basically a re-run station with the exception of a few original comedies. 
I concluded that he must be from the Samantha Bee show as it to my knowledge was the only thing resembling news on the network (although for my money “resembling” is overstating the matter).
He then asked me what I thought was one of the oddest questions about a computer I’d ever heard inquiring if my laptop included the game solitaire.
Being old enough to remember the introduction of the commercial laptop and knowing that every laptop for the last 20 years included solitaire I thought the question foolish, but I wondered why he would ask so I answered:
"Well my wife bought me it for Christmas so I really don’t know but I imagine so.”
He then asked the question that made everything clear:
“Could you bring it up, we want a shot of someone playing solitaire during Donald Trump’s speech.”
My initial answer reaction was innocence
“But that would be dishonest.”
...and then anger saying something like: Are you seriously asking me to stage something dishonest so you can report fake news?
He walked away but I was suddenly very angry. 
I understand that I dress rather eccentrically so he might have figured this guy was a fellow traveler but the very idea that he would ask me to help him do something dishonest and dishonorable to create fake news to hit the President. 
Nor did the irony that this happened just a few minutes after President Trump hit the media for staging stuff fail to hit me.
I was mad and updated my open post thus:..."

Left Hypocrisy: Russia, Partner Under Obama, Is Now an Enemy | National Review

Left Hypocrisy: Russia, Partner Under Obama, Is Now an Enemy | National Review:

"Bear in mind that President Obama and his team brokered side deals with the Russians (and Iranians, for that matter) that resulted in enormous advantage for them and loss for us — during his entire presidency.

For instance, in 2009 President Obama surreptitiously sent a letter to the Russians, offering to cancel plans to install a missile-defense site in Poland and corresponding radar apparatus in the Czech Republic. These would have provided an additional layer of protection for the United States and its allies from Iranian long-range missiles."
