Katherine Maher is the new CEO of National Public Radio. She unironically writes “folx” instead of “folks” to show her allyship. She tweets that she does not sit in First Class but walks to the “back of the bus” in solidarity with others. She’s a regular Rosa Parx — so relatable to others at a time when the media is less and less relatable and more and more a clique of progressive whites and the black voices the white progressives choose to elevate to make themselves feel good.
Let’s be honest. Nickol Hannah-Jones and Ibrim Kendi are not bright people. They are, however, the chosen black voices who give absolution to white progressives by helping those white progressives otherize large swaths of America. We’re talking about progressives who elevated Robin DiAngelo, a white huckster who serves as race whisperer for people who write words like “folx” and “Latinx.” We’re talking about white progressives who replaced the white male CEO of NPR with a white female CEO of NPR who tweets about her white privilege. In fact, the lily-white taxpayer-funded organization has not had black leadership since 1998. They have instead had a series of white leaders who preen about their allyship with the non-white community.
Katherine Miller’s rise is not in a vacuum.
At the Hamas-supporting Washington Post, the newspaper has decided to write sypathetic profiles of terrorist sympathizers. The Post, in its latest effort to sympathize with terrorist supporters, has attacked a Twitter account called “Stop Antisemitism” for exposing antisemites. Literally, the Post highlighted as a “victim” a woman who tore down Israeli hostage posters in Chicago.
Nothing says sympathetic victim like a vandal intent on tearing down posters of Israeli hostages captured by Hamas. “They criticized Israel. This Twitter account upended their lives,” reads the actual headline.
You cannot make this up. The caption for the lead photo reads, “Celine Khalife, 25, at the street post in Chicago where she was videotaped tearing down a poster of Israeli hostages.” In other words, she was not criticizing Israel. She had engaged in an act of sabotage against a poster exposing Hamas’s atrocities.
But the pro-Hamas Washington Post treats her as a victim. Increasingly, if Israel intends to take out Hamas, they need to deal with the Washington Post.
At the New York Times, it is now acceptable for anti-American terrorists to pen op-eds against the United States. However, a sitting United States Senator cannot write an op-ed reflecting the views of a majority of Americans if his views trigger the wokes at the New York Times.
Over at NBC, they’re fine working with anti-semite Joy Reid, who blasted Wolf Blitzer of CNN for supposedly being a mouthpiece of Israel, but RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel was a bridge too far.
A media that will elevate Rosa Parx to head taxpayer-funded NPR while blackballing a U.S. Senator and sympathizing with Hamas supporters is a media in a bubble badly in need of bursting.
But the bubble will not burst.
Instead, more and more Americans will drift off to find news elsewhere. The media will claim, as they did when bloggers exposed Dan Rather’s fraud over the Bush National Guard memo, that others cannot be trusted. In fact, they are doing that now with screams about disinformation and misinformation.
Unfortunately, so much of the mainstream press pushes their own disinformation in the form of progressive narratives that leave out inconvenient facts. They claim tearing down posters of victims is “criticizing Israel.” They have alienated and discredited themselves.
Katherine “Rosa Parx” Maher and the white progressives now unapologetically control so much of the mainstream press that the rest of America hasn’t freed up seats at the front of the bus, they’ve just gotten off the bus, tuned out, and turned off.
Frankly, the American press corps lacks the capacity for introspection and is dying by its own hand.
But at least they’ll have their cis-gendered white privilege allyship with oppressed he, him, her, and zer to keep their social climb going.
