This really ruffled some feathers.

On Tuesday, President Trump paid a visit to Nashville, Tennessee, where he gave a speech at a campaign rally in support of U.S. Rep. Marsha Blackburn for her candidacy for the U.S. Senate.

However, the reason the event has become so newsworthy has nothing to do with anything the president said, and everything to do with a young boy who had a message for a New York Times reporter.

This is actually pretty funny.

During the rally, New York Times reporter and CNN analyst Julie Davis claimed that she noticed a young boy who had a message for her and the rest of the media:

Depressing sight at Trump rally in Nashville: adorable young boy, probly about my son's age, pointing iPhone at me & other reporters & snapping pix while screaming "FAKE NEWS!" A child who will grow up believing a free & fair press is the enemy, a bad thing, to be mocked & hated

Davis’ colleague, New York Times reporter Jeremy Peters, quickly added fodder to the young boy’s perception of the media by claiming that Trump was “infecting” children.

This is appalling. That Trump has coarsened political speech is one thing. But infecting and corrupting children is something no one should abide. https://t.co/SOoTw5fXBA

Reactions to the boy were fairly mixed, with liberals on Twitter expressing typical fake outrage and disgust, while the right mocked Davis and others over making such a big deal out of the incident:

He doesn't believe a "free and fair" press is. He's talking about YOU guys. https://t.co/oPws5TThQY

You rightly deserve to be mocked by Americans of ANY age.

Exactly because you have NOTHING to do with a “free and fair” press.

You are the epitome of the agenda-drive ideological hack.

And as such @realDonaldTrump is right. You are the Enemy of our Republic and it’s values. https://t.co/OqpceI8Uxk

You work for CNN, was he wrong? https://t.co/sajQt56jfG

Smart kid. He knows the press abandoned being either fair or free, or anything but fake, a long time ago. https://t.co/PHWGSO7ba1

Wrong

He will grow up thinking a free & fair press is a wonderful thing

But you work for @nytimes
& sadly, you don't make the cut https://t.co/0j1dHuNBMi

This child wouldn’t be taught a negative view of the media if such claims weren’t firmly grounded in truth and reality.

CNN and many other major left-wing news outlets have forsaken the whole concept of journalistic integrity and have moved from objectively presenting both sides of an argument and allowing people to decide for themselves, to completely spoon feeding people what to think and believe.

It’s never been the duty of the press to force a particular worldview down the intellectual gullet of news consumers .It’s always been to educate and inform, nothing else. Unfortunately, we’ve gotten very far away from the guiding principles of our great republic over the last two decades.

Let’s hope that when this boy is an adult, his generation is able to clean up the horrific mess the current generation is leaving behind.

Businesses Should Require Vax Proof from Customers, Says NIH Director

This is simply unconscionable.

There have long been fears that this sort of discrimination was on the horizon, as the willingly unvaccinated become second-class citizens right here in the United States. With only about half of the US population fully vaccinated, (and largely by their own accord), herd immunity looks to be some time away yet. Nearly 20% more of the population will need to wind up with COVID antibodies in order for public health officials to consider the pandemic to be waning, and a maximum pressure campaign is taking shape throughout a number of levels of government. During an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper, Dr. Frances Collins used his position as the Director of the National Institutes of Health to pressure businesses around the nation to enact strict vaccine-proof restrictions. Anchor Jake Tapper said, “Some businesses are going a step further and requiring proof of vaccinations not just for employees, but even for customers in some cases. Audience members for broadway plays and musicals need to be vaccinated. Some bars in San Francisco and D.C. are requiring proof of vaccinations. Do you think as a public health measure it would be good for more businesses to require vaccine credentials in order to have vaccinated customers?” His answer was astonishing. Collins said, “As a public health person who wants to see this pandemic end, yes. I think anything we can do to encourage reluctant folks to get vaccinated because they’ll want to be part of these public events, that’s a good thing. I’m delighted to see employers like Disney and Walmart coming out and asking their staff to be vaccinated. I’m glad to see the president has said all federal employees. I oversee NIH. With 40,000 people need to get vaccinated or if they’re not to get regular testing which is inconvenient. All of…

Unrepentant YouTube Decides to Suspend Mainstream News Channel Over ‘Misinformation’

The barons of the Information Revolution are no less corrupt than those of the Industrial Revolution before them.

There are concerns that the barons of the Information Revolution, much like the barons of the Industrial Revolution, are exploiting their content producers at an unsustainable clip, and creating a very dangerous bottleneck in the world of free speech. Given just how much of the internet’s traffic flows through just a few sites, it is imperative that we keep a keen eye on what platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube are doing. They are the new gatekeepers of nearly the entire breadth of current information, and if they were to choose to keep us in the dark on any particular issue, it would be quite easy for them to do so. That’s why the latest news from YouTube is so terrifying. YouTube said Sunday it had barred Sky News Australia from uploading new content for one week, citing concerns about Covid-19 misinformation. The move comes after a review of posts uploaded by the Rupert Murdoch-owned TV channel, which has a substantial online presence. “We have clear and established Covid-19 medical misinformation policies… to prevent the spread of Covid-19 misinformation that could cause real-world harm,” a YouTube statement said. With 1.86 million YouTube subscribers, the channel — which is owned by a subsidiary of Murdoch’s News Corp — has a conservative following well beyond Australia. The mainstream media and the mainstream social networks haven’t always gotten their COVD info right, either, which makes their declarations regarding “misinformation” all the more laughable. Early on in the pandemic, these platforms pushed back against the possibility that the virus itself may have been a part of some sort of lab leak, even going so far as to censor any such discussion. Over a year later, and as health experts began to suggest this yes, this was truly a possibility, the premature nature of…
