Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, six twenty one. Now, so it turns out
that the New York Times had nothing to cover when
Captain Plagiarizer was was in the White House. But now
that Donald Trump has returned, here we go, let's ramp
up the fact checks. Elizabeth Ames, Fox News contributor joining
us this morning.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Good morning, Elizabeth, good morning, Thank you for having me.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Yeah, quite an interesting editorial that the Times ran saying
here's what we're going to do. Now.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
What changed, Well, actually what change is that Trump is
back in the White House. But I think that their
tone has changed just a bit, you know, the Kamala
debacle said they can't really you know, approach this like
Trumps selection was a freak occurrence, and they can't also
(00:44):
take the sort of the Hitler you know, the Hitler route,
because Kamala's failure showed them that you can't keep you know,
talking about Trump is Hitler. However, you can fact check them, like,
you know, continually, and that's what they are saying that
they're doing. But of course fact checking is a total
(01:04):
rust for just trying to discredit. And they ran this
article several days ago saying that they're going to promise
to fact check everything he says, which, of course, fact
checking is in the eye of the beholder. And they had,
you know, questions from viewers, from readers, and they ask
the questions were hilarious. I mean, the article was very long,
(01:28):
inadvertently hilarious. One of the questions was, you know, why
can't The Times use words such as propaganda or lies
more frequently when reporting on Trump? And their answer was
basically that they didn't like the word lie, but they
preferred falsehood and false statement. Okay, so this was what
you were I mean, basically, the Times is writing for
(01:50):
readers in the bluest of blue states, and that's what
their editorial content reflects. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
And what's strange about it, Elizabeth, is they're not a
shame to say that they're willing to write I mean,
I remember, you know, going back to the nineteen eighties
when Michael Jordan was at the height of his popularity
and people in the black community wanted to know why
he wouldn't advocate for more, you know, black issues, and
he said, because Republicans buy sneakers too. The Times is
willing to write off any conservatives or any Republicans or
(02:17):
any Trump supporters that might be interested in picking up
one of the papers are subscribing.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Yes, it's really quite amazing. I mean everything that they
that they say about Trump and Musk has a negative
tone and it implies that something sinister is going on.
I mean, in that article they mentioned about, well, we're
going to talk about how Trump and Musk are upending
the government, as if that's terrible right away, there's no
acknowledgment that there's need, that there's a need for a
(02:44):
look at what money is being spent on, and that
is something that everybody agrees upon. If you look at
the general public, it's a bipartisan consensus that the government,
you know, that there's waste. There's there really is waste,
and that just doesn't get reported. Everything today, the big
theme at the top of the front page was that,
(03:05):
you know, Musk is is now hiding his mistakes on
his website, you know, hiding them now so that it's
not like there are actual, you know, positive accomplishments, that
no mention of his positive cuts and accomplishments, things that
we no longer need, but that he's hiding his mistakes.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Yeah, that's that's exactly right. And then you know, to
really bring it home, we have to look back and
talk about what happened over the previous four years. Joe
Biden was a notorious liar. I mean, like it was
a bodily function. He was a plagiarizer. He lied about
everything at the start of his political career, including what
he did in law school and how many degrees he
had and what his rank was, and all of these
(03:45):
kinds of things about his mental and physical and cognitive
decline over the course of the last four years. They
lied about that, and they never once. It didn't appear
anyway I have any interest in talking about the quote
unquote falsehood's coming from the Biden regime.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Yes, they tiptoed towards it in a couple of articles,
but they basically, uh, you know, reported it as just
he's a little bit folksy and he wants to connect
with his with with his audience by you know, telling
colorful stories and touch But you know, they really this
is really the biggest scandal in our political history. The
(04:23):
the you know, the disguising or the avoiding of talking
about his decline, which was there from the start. I mean,
I once had a conversation with people who said his
who knew his friends and they were concerned about him
when he was first elected, and this never got reported
by the New York Times. So I think that's really
quite shocking. Now there is just to be you know,
(04:46):
just to be fair. There is a discussion to be
had about Trump's policies right now. There is a discussion,
and all criticism does not mean it's politically motivated and wrong.
But what they're what they've done, they've discredited themselves. I
mean the whole fact checking idea, which you know, there's
a million fact checking sites out there, and every left
(05:07):
leaning you know, website has them, but they all are
really not fact checking. They're basically meant to discredit the right. Now,
someone told me yesterday that, and you know, I really
don't watch and read the mainstream media as much as
I used to, but somebody told me yesterday that, you know,
people like Lester hold A now routinely saying Trump said
(05:30):
without proof, Musk said, without proof, that's become you know,
a mantra, like it's on their fact it's on their
style sheet. And that's quite disturbing and upsetting.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Really, Yeah, the bias is just as bad as it
ever was. But you're right, they're trying to count it
a little bit and trying to put a bit of
a better face on it. Elizabeth Ames, Fox News contributor
and author. Thank you for the analysis. Elizabeth, have a
great day.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
