Drew’s Receipts: Discrediting Whistleblowers

The ​Media Strikes Again

The media ⁣were ⁢at it⁢ again​ this week, and I have the receipts to prove ‌it.

1. NOW/THEN:

Two⁢ veteran IRS ​officials testified before ‌Congress that⁢ the Justice ⁢Department interfered in their probe of the⁢ president’s son. After‍ celebrating whistleblowers in the Trump administration—does Alexander Vindman​ ring a bell?—now​ we have “so-called whistleblowers” and ‌a ‌press accusing them of “insubordination.”

2. WHAT’S RACIST TODAY:

“Mass shootings in major metropolitan⁣ areas in‌ the United States disproportionately affect Black people, and structural ​racism​ may play a ​role, according to ‍a‍ study published in the journal ⁤JAMA Surgery,” CNN reported.

The researchers, to whose study CNN does not provide a link, do not appear to have looked at the race of the perpetrators of these‌ urban crimes. No,⁤ they ​define structural racism ⁢as “the⁣ normalized and legitimized range of policies,​ practices, and attitudes​ that routinely produce cumulative and chronic ⁢adverse outcomes for people of color.” Welcome to academia.

Anyhow, I ⁢bet Democrats will be concerned⁣ when they learn‌ that the Democratic stronghold⁣ of Chicago “had the​ greatest number” of⁢ these racist mass shootings ​in the ⁢time period​ studied, “which led to 97 deaths and 583 ​injuries.”

3. THE CLIMATE FILES:

The New York Times was⁢ dissatisfied with a visit to ⁢a Miami beach. The paper’s headline: “In‌ Florida, Swimmers Brave an Ocean That Feels Like Steamy Syrup.”

But beachgoers didn’t seem ‍to pick up ⁤on ⁣what they were putting down.

“I like it‌ warm,”⁢ one told the paper.

“This is as close‍ as America gets to paradise,”​ said another.

4.​ FETTERMAN WATCH:

A Time magazine cover story tells “the untold story of John Fetterman’s battle ⁤with ⁢depression” that we’ve been hearing for months.

Ever ⁢since ‌Fetterman emerged from a​ six-week hospitalization for severe⁢ depression, he has been more than a ​first-term Democratic senator from Pennsylvania. He’s an icon and advocate ‍for the⁣ mentally ill.

It’s an ‍update ⁢of Fetterman’s selfappointed role—following his ‌stroke on the ⁢campaign ⁤trail last year—as champion ⁤of⁣ the ‌physically disabled.‍ Never mind that he still struggles to speak or⁢ understand simple sentences. Or that he now admits that continuing to ⁢campaign after the stroke led​ to his hospitalization for⁢ depression.

“While⁣ he knows many see⁤ him as diminished or disabled, he believes what⁣ he’s been through has made him stronger: wiser, more thoughtful, more appreciative,” wrote Time‘s Molly Ball. “What he wants now, he‌ says, is ‌to be the‌ voice that might⁤ have⁣ pulled him out of the darkness.”

5.‌ FAIR AND ​BALANCED:

A giggly CNN ‍chased special ⁢counsel and anti-Trump icon Jack Smith into a ‍Washington, D.C., Subway restaurant.

Journalists appear to have learned ⁤nothing from the last time⁣ they⁢ came ⁣on too strong to⁢ a special counsel.

Finally, check out⁢ my colleague Andrew Stiles’s‍ fact check ​of Politico Playbook’s assertion that CNN is “a mainstream, nonpartisan media outlet.”

Verdict: ⁣Mostly peaceful pants ⁢on fire
