Remember the Kid Who Used to Tattle to the Teacher?

NBC News Supplies YouTube a List of Videos to Delete & Channels to Demonetize [More]

They're leaving no stone unturned in their fanatical obsession to destroy voices that don't amplify theirs.

Nodding and laughing, the "Authorized Journalist" comes across as understanding and accomodating, doesn't he? The reason I typically decline to speak with agents of the DSM is that my default assumption is they're out to destroy sources they disagree with, not protect them.

UPDATE - And no sooner do I get done posting the above than this comes in:

The New York Times Is Protected by Freedom of the Press. So Is James O'Keefe. The newspaper wrongly implies that press freedom is limited to "real" journalists. [More]

That's why I call 'em The Newsraper of Record.

The Least Trusted Names in News

 What is most striking about this weapon is that — like the campaign to agitate for more censorship — it is led by journalists. It is the corporate media that most aggressively insists that those who are independent, those who are outsiders, those who do not submit to their institutional structures are not real journalists the way they are, and thus are not entitled to the protections of the First Amendment. [More]

You don't say...

Authorized Journalists...

Real Reporters...

Fourth Estate Fifth Columnists...

The DSM by any other name...

And if you correctly label them Lügenpresse they'll use their mass media platforms to cancel you for being a Nazi...

UPDATE- And it looks like us #justabloggers aren't the only ones in the crosshairs:

MSNBC Columnist Calls on TV Providers to Axe Fox News from Cable Packages Over Tucker Carlson's Show [More]

Dean obeyed Allah.

Accredited Real Reporters

 She had to shut down the conversation, and the questioner was promptly the target of the government control agents. [More]

I know the feeling.

It prompted me to start using the term "Authorized Journalists," then Fourth Estate Fifth Columnists and the DSM, and we've seen how we can count on them.

Buckeye State Citizens May Be Allowed to Speak and Read without Proof of Proficiency!

 Ohio House committee passes bill allowing for concealed carry of guns without training [More]

The scare tactics start in the headline. So naturally, the "Authorized Journalists" spent a good portion of the article telling everyone why that's a bad idea.

The proof will be on the floor votes and then if DeWine reverts to form.

Authorized Subsidized Journalists

 House Dems Propose $1 Billion in Subsidies for Local Newspapers - Lawmakers hope tax credits will revive industry as trust in media plummets [More]

I can't think of anything that would make me trust their political objectivity more than depending on Democrats for handouts.

And sorry, "conservative" outlets -- our "independent fact-checkers" say you people are a bunch of fake news Nazis so you're not eligible -- which is the excuse we'll use to do an end-run around accusations of First Amendment-violating censorship.

Do You Come from a Land Down Under?

 The ability for federal agents to delete, copy, and modify citizens' online accounts is now within the "legal" realm. The government can impersonate its citizens, while using online accounts, to achieve tasks they deem worthy. [More]

But don't worry, "journalists," that is, the authorized ones, have some special considerations. 

For now.

They've "evolved" here from Authorized Journalists to Fourth Estate Fifth Columnists to the DSM.

News You Can Wipe With

Biden’s White House Considering Banning Conservative Media from Press Briefings - Briefings could be restricted to mainstream media? [More]

You know, "Authorized Journalists"...

Correcting the Record

GRNC lawsuit against Wake County sheriff continues [More]

Evidently, the ace "Authorized Journalists" at CBS 17 Raleigh don't know the difference between a TRO and a lawsuit...

Also, here are GRNC's voting recommendations.

An Unauthorized Journalist

In explaining the ban, Pritzker said Jacobson had forfeited her status as a reporter by “taking an extreme position,” adding: “It’s not the way you act, it’s not the way your colleagues in the media act who are reporters. That is not a reporter. She represents a talk show that has a particular point of view. We allowed her to ask questions because once upon a time she was a reporter. But she proved that she is no longer a reporter.” [More]

And naturally, the guy with the political power gets to be the one to decide which viewpoints are acceptable and which journalists are authorized, just like the Founding Fathers intended.

We're the Only Ones Technically Challenged Enough

[More]

If this doesn't convince you that police are better trained and more knowledgeable about guns than mere "civilians." and should, therefore, be the "Only Ones" with guns, I don't know what will.

Although a case could be made that "Authorized Journalists" and college newspaper staffs also qualify...

We're the Only Ones Approving Enough

Chamblee’s police conduct policies state that officers may not leave guns in unattended, parked vehicles. Records show the chief reviewed the policy on take-home vehicles and signed off on it March 24, just two days before the break-ins. [More]

Thank goodness none of the firearms were "patrol rifles," which would have created a dilemma for the Authorized Journalists on what to call them.

Who Better to Decide than a Democrat Apparatchik?

But Peterson, judge for the U.S. District Court Western District, decided that the MacIver Institute is simply a think tank, not a news organization, with an “idealogical mission.” [More]

Not that an Obama appointee has an ideological mission of his own (and somebody tell Townhall it's "James D." not "William"...

Government-"Authorized Journalists"...

What could go wrong?

About the Milwaukee Killings

It's been hours and we still haven't been told who the killer is?  No doubt any social media accounts will be shut down before we do, meaning we will be entirely dependent on "authorities" and "Authorized Journalists" for information and unable to find any dots for connecting on our own.

Another American Innovation They Can Steal

It’s good to see that the Chinese have figured out how to win arguments in the U.S. Just denounce any inconvenient observations as “racist.” [More]

Shoot, our own commies have been using that for years.

And our "Authorized Journalists" certainly are a courageous lot, aren't they?

Something Else for the 'Authorized Journalists" to Ignore

"White Powder" Pete in Africa for 42 months with Strzok doing what where? [More]

Interesting documentation thread these folks have put together...

It would take a bit of sufficiently-funded investigative journalism to validate and bring things into focus.

Good thing they're not "real reporters." You could destroy your career going off message like this.

Meanwhile, Over in 'The True North, Strong and Free'...

Trudeau Minister Proposes Forcing News Websites to Have Govt Licence [More]

You know, "Authorized Journalists."

What do you expect from a people whose Charter of Rights and Freedoms was signed into law by the frickin' queen?  My favorite part, under "Exceptions":

Precluding all the freedoms and forming the basis of the Charter, the very first section, known as limitations clause, allows governments to justify certain infringements of Charter rights. 

That lets that side-saddling son of an adulteress and (ostensibly) a cuck (although my money's on Fidel, despite the denials) to infringe to his brown-faced heart's content.

The Gospel of Trayvon

“The Gospel of Trayvon” is the fiction into which black Americans have been indoctrinated for almost eight years. [More]

A-yup.

Not to worry-- Mary Sanchez, an "Authorized Journalists" with real reach, tells us the "documentarian, also questionable ... is pimping a new book and a movie..."

Hey, why come up with documented facts when you can just smear and get paid for it?

When 'Authorized Journalists' and 'Only Ones' Collide

“I am deeply disturbed by how some sheriffs have handled a routine request for public information from a respected and established news outlet. As a result, they have put our journalists in personal danger for their own political gain. “It is a journalist’s job to investigate trends, and we do not intend on publishing personal information of private citizens. Unfortunately, the sheriffs sought to play up distrust in media when it became clear that they cannot deny access to public information.” [More]

How does that "endanger" anyone, Audrey? Like gun owners who try to obey "the law" are the problem? Belief in which, of course, is part of the plan...

The real outrage here isn't even that "permits" are so selectively "authorized"-- although if her paper wants to do something useful, they could demonstrate the bias.

The real outrage here is that "permits" to exercise a right exist at all.
