NPR Ignores Gender Dimorphism When Commenting on Transgender Sports

NPR Tweet today: "The international governing body for track and field will ban trans women athletes from elite women's competitions, citing a priority for fairness over inclusion despite limited scientific evidence of physical advantage."

I'm "sure" that NPR reporters fact-checked the above claim with the NPR Science Department before publishing its Tweet  . . .

More seriously, what about the images below, which clearly demonstrate dimorphism between the two sexes?

And I also notice that NPR did not interview any of the many female athletes who have been deprived of awards, scholarships and competition slots because male-bodied competitors were allowed to compete. Nor do they mention, for instance, that the U.S. Woman's National soccer team sometimes gets ready for competition by playing games against high school boys. Nor do they mention that in 1998, the 203rd ranked male tennis player, Karsten Braasch, beat Serena Williams and Venus Williams in back-to-back matches.

My intent in writing this is to belittle NPR. I am a big fan of female sports and I want to preserve them as female sports featuring the finest female athletes.

Earth-Shaking Congressional Testimony of Former Head of the CDC Mostly Ignored by Corporate Media

Where are the bold headlines in the corporate media when the former Director of the CDC, Dr. Robert Redfield, testifies that: A) Gain of Function Research has not ever created any life-saving vaccines or therapeutics, B) Gain of Function Research probably caused the COVID pandemic, and C) there are no tangible benefits to Gain of Function Research?

As Saager Enjeti notes, it is "madness" that this testimony has failed to generate big headlines or to result in dramatic new restrictions on this type of research. In the meantime, Anthony Fauci did his damndest to hide that this research was going on and that he was responsible for funding it. Nothing about this testimony from CNN, MSNBC, NPR or WaPo. NYT does mention Redfield's testimony, but buries the lede.

Why I Focus on Problems with Left-Leaning “News” Media

On FB, a reader criticized me for not criticizing the problems with FOX News. My response:

The faux journalism of FOX already gets lots of attention from many quarters. How many times do I need to agree with you that FOX is the PR wing for the Republican Party? That's exactly what FOX is. Anyone attempting to get real news solely from FOX is getting a ton of propaganda, along with some real news. What I do on FB is not my day job. I focus on stories that are NOT being well-covered, including the fact that people who are looking toward NYT/WP/CNN/MSNBC/NPR as their long-trusted sources of news are often getting propaganda for the DNC, assisted by the U.S. law enforcement/spy state (FBI/CIA/DHS etc).

I've never claimed to quantify how bad FOX is compared to the left-leaning news, but for several years I have covered many dozens of incidents from which I can confidently conclude that the "news" on both the left and the right is deplorable, often demonstrably false, presenting one false consensus after another and intentionally not-curious about major evidence in order to try to get certain people elected and not others. The "news" on both the right and the left often consists of brazen attempts to manipulative the public, as though we are infants who are not capable of thinking for ourselves. What I am discussing is not trivial. It is ruining our country, betraying the vision of the Founders of the United States.

Jim, when Joe Biden promises to make Nord Stream inoperable, a sophisticated operation blows it up--an act of war--then, the WH celebrates, then claims "Russia" blew up its own infrastructure, Seymour Hersh offers details on how Biden ordered the operation and a month later the left-leaning news media reports that Ukraine did it--while burying the lede about Joe Biden's solemn promise, are you confident that your favorite team of "journalists" are simply reporting the news? BTW, have you EVER criticized these left-leaning corporate media outfits? In your opinion, have they done a good job telling you what is going on regarding politically-charged stories? If you claim they have, how do you know this? Do you read independent journalists? Do you read right-leaning journalists? I do this constantly, even though I often disagree with all of the above.

NYT Finally Mentions Seymour Hersh Article About the U.S. Destroying the Nord Stream Pipeline

The "news."

NYT finally mentions Seymour Hersh's investigative article that made a strong case that the U.S. destroyed the Nord Stream Pipeline. Laughingly, the NYT:

A) relies on "intelligence" by "U.S. Officials,"

B) lacks any meaningful details, instead serving as a stenographer for the WH in suggesting that "pro-Ukrainian" group was responsible, and

C) Barely mentions Hersh's investigation, intentionally suppressing the many details offered by Hersh and failing to follow up on any of the numerous leads offered by Hersh.

All of this nonsense could be made palatable if the NYT merely adopted a new mission statement: "We are dedicated to making shit up to get Biden re-elected."

Evidence Showing Anthony Fauci’s Corruption Piles Up; Left-Leaning Corporate Media Continues to be Silent

There is now overwhelming evidence that Anthony Fauci

A) was responsible for funding the experiments that created COVID

B) misled the public on the lab origin of COVID,

C) funded and edited a paper to mislead the public, and

D) engaged in corruption to require doctors and researchers to cover up for his own responsibility.

All of this should be the biggest story in every news outlet, but you will be informed about these disclosures, including Fauci's intimate involvement in creating this shamefully corrupt research paper, in NYT, WaPo, NPR, MSNBC or CNN. None of these are respectable news organizations. They do the same thing on the left as FOX does on the right. At least FOX admits that it was created for the purpose of getting its favorite politicians elected.

Excerpt from Yesterday's NYP article on Fauci's corrupt article:

Former White House chief medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci repeatedly dismissed concerns that the COVID-19 pandemic began with a lab leak in Wuhan, China — after he commissioned a paper to “disprove” the theory, according to newly released emails.

The House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic released evidence Sunday that Fauci ordered, helped to edit, and gave final approval to a paper titled “The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2,” which was published on Feb. 17, 2020. Exactly two months later, Fauci used that same publication to wave away concerns that the virus might have come from a Chinese facility.

For those who are still skeptical, follow the links in this overview article,"Newly-released Emails Show Fauci Commissioned the 2020 Study Used to Disprove the Lab Leak Theory." Here is an excerpt:

But ironically, if he’d been forthright about what he knew and when he knew it and informed government officials that the NIH had been using American taxpayer dollars to fund the kind of exceedingly sketchy research at the WIV from which covid likely originated, it’s unlikely Fauci would’ve faced any real consequences (not that he will now). After all, even though he was the one to fund the research, and even though he effectively ignored the U.S. moratorium on gain-of-function experimentation by outsourcing it to arguably the shadiest and least trustworthy country in the world, and even though the Department of State had specifically warned that safety standards in specifically that lab were woefully insufficient and that such negligence could very well prove disastrous in the not too distant future,3 it’s not as if Fauci or any other American for that matter allowed the virus to escape. It was China. And I imagine that Fauci wouldn’t have found much difficulty in getting people to place blame on one of our staunchest adversaries.

But it’s clear that Fauci is obsessed with his legacy, which he was trying to protect. Now, however, not only is that legacy tarnished, but he’s been repeatedly exposed as a liar.

Here again it must be highlighted how the mainstream media failed to give any coverage at all to the fact that the individual in charge of our pandemic response just so happened to have very troubling ties to the lab from which covid could very well have originated. Instead, they lionized him. When it became clear that Fauci wasn’t especially fond of Trump, Democrats and their media handmaidens rallied to portray him as a symbol of authority, an expert whose public standing was integral to our continued health and safety, a valiant foil to the bad orange man and his mean tweets and his lack of respect for The Science™.

One more excerpt, this one from "Collapse of the COVID Truth Regime":

While mainstream media outlets pushed a propagandistic narrative to build popular acceptance of radical and unprecedented measures, government agencies pressured social media companies like Twitter and Facebook to suppress analysis from skeptics. From the lab leak hypothesis, to natural immunity, to mask mandates, much of this analysis has turned out to be entirely legitimate. By skewing the scientific debate, social media “content moderators” allowed state-sponsored misinformation to proliferate unchecked. Three years later, the alarming trend of non-COVID excess mortality in Western countries is an indictment of the COVID response and the censorship that accompanied it. If the job of public health officials was to minimize harm, ongoing excess mortality after the peak of COVID is evidence of failure.

As this failure becomes undeniable, we are witnessing the collapse of much of the censorship campaign that helped shield authorities from criticism. Under Elon Musk, Twitter ended its COVID “misinformation” policy and reinstated many banned accounts. The “Twitter files” and the Missouri v. Biden lawsuit have revealed that the White House, the CDC, and even Pfizer were all involved in a coordinated, systematic silencing of dissent around COVID policies and vaccines.
