Elon Musk and Donald Trump at the moment are dramatically at odds, and nobody is happier than the left-wing press. Time journal’s giddy headline was “The Musk-Trump Implosion Can Be Seen From House.” ABC “comic” Jimmy Kimmel in contrast his thrill to being a child at Christmas.
The New York Occasions as we speak mentioned Trump and Musk “retook the White Home, slashed the federal authorities, and reshaped U.S. alliances…Yesterday, that relationship imploded in public. Maybe, for 2 mercurial billionaires with giant personalities and little tolerance for dissent, it was inevitable.”
On CNN, New York Times podcaster Lulu Garcia-Navarro claimed “in case you take a look at the historical past all over the world of authoritarians breaking apart with their oligarch buddies, these oligarch buddies do not find yourself in a superb place. They both find yourself impoverished, imprisoned, or lifeless.”
This week pundits in contrast Elon’s DOGE efforts to the mass murders of Stalin and Mao, together with “The View.” NewsBusters Affiliate Editor Nick Fondacaro explains the craziness. Sunny Hostin claimed (with none proof) that “his cutbacks on medical analysis value the lives – for the overseas assist, value 300,000 lives principally kids. That is the injury that Elon Musk did.”
On PBS, David Brooks shamelessly smeared the Tesla titan, who’s “most likely,” er “semi-responsible” for mass homicide:
There are mass murderers on the planet, Pol Pot, Mao Zedong, Stalin. We do not have anyone on the checklist from America. And I do not assume it is the identical as committing the form of genocide they did. However by taking away that company and being not less than semi-responsible for the deaths of most likely, by the tip of this, a whole bunch of 1000’s of thousands and thousands of individuals, that is Elon Musk’s legacy.
Nick additionally wrote up Whoopi Goldberg’s weird declare that Gov. Wes Moore of Maryland — who liberals appear to assume is Obama 2.0 — is not being thought of as a presidential candidate as a result of blacks cannot get elected president. On this case, Sunny Hostin reminded her we did that twice.
Then there’s the defamation beat, the place CNN national-security reporter Alex Marquardt immediately introduced he was leaving CNN, 4 months after his maliciously sloppy reporting on Zachary Younger as a “black market” legal value CNN thousands and thousands. Ex-CNNer Oliver Darcy reported Marquardt was canned. Nick can be following a possible defamation case in Buffalo because it unfolds on considered one of his favourite podcasts.
There’s all this, and the truth that PolitiFact is horrible at “truth checking” and would not appropriate anybody smearing Musk as a mass-murderer. Benefit from the podcast under, or wherever you take heed to podcasts.
