The World’s Most Blunt Headlines On Donald Trump’s Comeback
The image of President-elect Donald Trump graced dozens of newspaper front pages worldwide on Thursday following his decisive 2024 election victory over Vice President Kamala Harris. Many headlines riffed on Trump’s “incredible” political comeback, his landslide win or on the term “rehired,” a reference to his “you’re fired” catchphrase from his “Apprentice” reality TV show. ​Some, though, were more pointed.
Australia’s The Age printed a “Shining”-referencing headline, “Here’s Donny!” “He is a man guilty of 34 felonies, twice impeached, accused of racism, misogyny and inciting a riot. But Donald J. Trump has secured a second term as president of the United States of America,” the sub-headline read. (Huffpost 11/7/24) READ MORE>>>>>

​AllSides Technologies Inc. is an American company that estimates the perceived political bias of content on online written news outlets. AllSides presents different versions of similar news stories from sources it rates as being on the political right, left, and center, with a mission to show readers news outside their filter bubble and expose media bias. AllSides is the brainchild of John Gable who has been the company's CEO and primary owner since its first iteration.
Should you trust media bias charts?
Impartial journalism is an impossible ideal. That is, at least, according to Julie Mastrine. “Unbiased news doesn’t exist. Everyone has a bias: everyday people and journalists. And that’s OK,” Mastrine said. But it’s not OK for news organizations to hide those biases, she said. “We can be manipulated into (a biased outlet’s) point of view and not able to evaluate it critically and objectively and understand where it’s coming from,” said Mastrine, marketing director for AllSides, a media literacy company focused on “freeing people from filter bubbles.”

Laura Loomer accuses magazine of using 1950s stock photo to push for Trump assassination
Laura Loomer, the pro-Trump right-wing activist whose history of unhinged behavior even worries some of her fellow MAGA devotees, posted a bizarre new conspiracy theory accusing The Atlantic magazine of sending subliminal messages to assassinate former President Donald Trump. In particular, Loomer says that a recent Atlantic article about the rapid decline of both inflation and crime over the last year is actually a call to murder Trump given that it features stock photos of a bullet hole shot through a piece of glass and a fistful of dollar bills that happen to contain the numbers 4 and 5, which Loomer believes is code for the 45th president.  (Brad Reed/Raw Story 1/22/24) READ MORE>>>>>
Did Alex Soros Really Call for Trump's Assassination?
Activist Laura Loomer (yeah, I know) gave a further explanation of her theory: since the $10 bill facing the viewer is the old-fashioned kind which has "will pay to the bearer on demand" on the bottom, which the treasury replaced with "In God We Trust" in 1963, the year JFK was assassinated, it means that a reward will be offered to the person insane enough to carry out an assassination attempt on Trump.  Additionally, since the $5 bill has Abraham Lincoln on it (assassinated), the $20 has Andrew Jackson (survived an attempt), and the $10 has Alexander Hamilton (killed in a duel with Aaron Burr), the implication is more apparent, according to the conspiracy theory.

-“Journalism largely consists in saying "Lord Jones is dead" to people who never knew Lord Jones was alive.”  ― G.K. Chesterton
​“So much for Objective Journalism. Don't bother to look for it here--not under any byline of mine; or anyone else I can think of. With the possible exception of things like box scores, race results, and stock market tabulations, there is no such thing as Objective Journalism. The phrase itself is a pompous contradiction in terms.”― Hunter S. Thompson, Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72
“People sometimes imagine that just because they have access to so many newspapers, radio and TV channels, they will get an infinity of different opinions. Then they discover that things are just the opposite: the power of these loudspeakers only amplifies the opinion prevalent at a certain time, to the point where it covers any other opinion.”   ― Amin Maalouf, The First Century After Beatrice
​“Heartless gossips pose as professional press, they get a few quotes and run with the story like Seabiscuit to the finish line. They’re nothing more than conmen, salesmen, pitchmen, pompous men professing to be of public service—and they have the freedom to do so. There’s no price to pay.”  ― Pamela L Hamilton, Lady Be Good Lib/E: The Life and Times of Dorothy Hale
