"Little" (in mind) Holman Jenkins Jr. (he whose bellowing twaddle dwarfs his actual mental range), again can't help himself as he bellows in his barks in his latest WSJ op-ed screed (Happy Days Again For TV News?) that:
"Comcast did one shrewd thing. In previously getting rid
of CNBC and MSNBC, it wisely stripped the NBC brand from the disreputable
liberal propaganda channel (renamed MSNOW) while leaving its name on the
business channel."
Adding:
"Of course, in better days Comcast never would have let its brand be devalued by MSNBC in the first place."
Seriously, you demented twit? How about FOX News, currently gaslighting Americans before their very eyes, i.e. regarding the 'pristine' reflecting pool, and Trump never falling asleep on the job despite all the evidence, i.e.
But this is all part of little Holman's shtick which he's now been doing so often he can no longer distinguish reality from psychotic fantasy even when he isn't binging on magic mushrooms. And as for stark, open propaganda Holman himself takes the cake. Among the most grievous deliberately denying in one nutso column from 2020 ('Disinfecting Journalistic Ethics', WSJ, May 6, p. A13) that Dotard ever stated people ought to consider 'disinfectant' (injecting it) to cure Covid. Holman yapped:
It was a reporter in the audience who asked an accompanying official, 'The President mentioned the idea of cleaners, like bleach and isopropyl alcohol. There's no scenario then that that could be injected into a person is there?
But the little liar probably never counted on savvy readers going back and checking the actual news segments, e.g.

How many different ways can that be interpreted anyway? Is a "reporter" asking a leading question or is Trump popping off on his own? Oh wait, it gets even more choice. To further obscure the issue Jenkins writes:
"The Poynter Institute's PolitiFact website kindly summarized: 'The briefing transcript shows that Trump did not say people should inject themselves with bleach or alcohol. He was asking officials whether they could be used in potential cures."
But this again is all part of Holman's time -tested gaslighting shtick: to shave words and meanings around the edge to make the lies appear to be facts. Then assume few of his readers will check his trwaddle. He also did it when he claimed in a Mar. 22-23 WSJ column ( 'CBS Kicks The UFO Habit', p. A13) the Nimitz pilots were actually chasing actually chasing a 46' Chinese drone, not a genuine UFO (seen by Cmdr. David Frav0r as an incredibly high velocity craft), e.g. his House testimony - given under oath (unlike Jenkins' blabbery):
Jenkins Jr. then claimed the 60 Minutes original report on the Nimitz UAP sightings, i.e.
Navy pilots describe encounters with UFOs
was "retracted" by CBS’ 60 Minutes correspondent Bill Whitaker:
“who states plainly the Pentagon did little to dispel speculation these images taken with night vision equipment were not UFOs but ship’s log identification as drones. At the time and the Navy suspected they came from a Hong Kong flagged freighter sailing nearby."
Hitler’s brilliant propaganda minister, Joseph Goebbels, famously told the Fuhrer, “Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth.” Donald Trump and the MAGA faction of the Republican Party have taken Goebbels’ advice to heart, and it’s going to make this fall’s election one like we’ve never seen before.
Already they’ve been lying so often and so effectively that nearly all Republicans, and majorities or near-majorities of Americans, believe:
— the GOP lie that we’re in a recession (we’re in better shape, in most ways, than any time since the 1960s and inflation last month was zero while Ronald Reagan never got it below 4.1% in his entire eight years);
— Republican lies about crime being up (it’s down dramatically since Trump);
— their lies that “Democrats want elective abortion up to the moment of birth” (none have ever said that);
— Trump’s lie that the 2020 election was “stolen” from Trump by “voter fraud”;
— GOP lies that the southern border is “wide open”;
— the Republican lie that Social Security is on the verge of bankruptcy and must be saved by privatization or benefits cuts;
— their vicious lie that queer people are pedophiles targeting America’s schoolchildren; and
— their NRA lie that more and more deadly guns will keep our kids safe.
