Shutdown Ferrets, Terrorist Frets, and… Menstrual Bets??? – RedState

It's time for a new round of nominations for vile news nonsense! In recognition of the efforts of the unprofessional press, journalistic laziness and well-deserved ridicule in the media, we are nominating these efforts for year-end awards. To honor the legacy of investigative and investigative journalism, we created the Golden Remington Awards. Our trophy pays tribute to those long-ago days when hard-working hackers practiced real journalism and wrote messages on those hefty word-spinning devices.





On a regular basis, we round up some of the most disparate examples of journalism, nominating them for the unwanted ignominy of “winning” our unimpressive Remmy Award. At the end of the year we recognize the greats by collecting examples in several categories and judiciously selecting the most worthy performances.

Here are the latest nominees for THE REMMYS.

Outstanding International Reporting

We wouldn't assume that a major newspaper would have any sympathy for Hamas terrorists. Instead, to qualify for a legitimate nomination, we choose to show you.

When news of a peace agreement in the war between Israel and Hamas broke, one of the vital components was the return of the remaining hostages. The Times, of course, couldn't handle this dose of good news that reflected well on President Trump or Israel, and they needed to see how it affected the Palestinian side of the equation. Rasgon felt the need to take a critical look at this deal as it applied to Hamas. The newspaper is actually concerned that there is a real risk in the negotiations… for a terrorist organization.

Outstanding explanatory reporting

Moreover, this floundering network is incapable of looking favorably on President Trump. As news of the peace agreement began to emerge, primetime anchor Chris Hayes arrived with a quixotic interpretation of what was happening.





You see, it's completely wrong to give President Trump credit for this – Trump is being blamed for… not completing the peace deal that Joe Biden negotiated?! Surrrrrrr Chris, of course.

Outstanding Article Writing

It has long been established that when it comes to a reported environmental crisis, there are two consistent realities: anything that results from climate change is entirely negative, and anything that can be blamed for contributing to climate change will be.

From the latest, stunted report on what will kill us all, we learn that we have a group of people we can blame for causing this inevitable disaster. Ms. Moniuszko tells us that inhalers pose a serious threat to humanity because they contain greenhouse gases, and with tens of millions prescribed each year, that equates to the same level of pollutants as half a million cars emitting exhaust fumes. So yes, asthmatics are killing the planet!

Outstanding Investigative Journalism

HuffPo's White House correspondent got into a verbal spat with Caroline Leavitt via text messages. After Leavitt asked the White House press secretary numerous questions via direct messages, he dared to insult Mr. Date's professionalism.





He responded to this with a post long thread on Xitterfor some reason detailing his entire career. Among the advantages he listed on his resume was that he was at one time assigned to cover the Ted Bundy trial in Florida. Through his fearless reporting and his inherent powers of deduction, Mr. Date assured everyone that he was able to conclude that the man accused of serially killing several fellow students was not a nice person.

Outstanding national reporting

As the government shutdown continues, the press is doing everything it can to portray it as the worst act committed against the nation. However, we suspect they may be running out of sympathetic stories based on the CBS report.

There is always a need to find the groups that will be most affected by events such as the closure of government services, as an emotional response is needed to provoke the necessary outrage. However, we don't think you're going to generate too much sympathy by telling us about the plight of black-footed ferrets due to this closure.





Outstanding Sports Reporting

It wouldn't be a normal month without some emotional reaction from the WNBA. Not to say this is all unfounded, but for a league desperate for positive PR and audience growth, there seems to be a lot of controversy coming from their area.

We saw sex toys thrown onto the court during games, alleged racial accusations this definitely won't workand the game was stopped when one player lost my wig in the middle of the game. Now to add to the list of complaints is a report from the world of sports gambling.

Wired reports that bettors on WNBA games have been found to make betting decisions based on the players' estimated menstrual cycles.

The huge growth of sports gambling means some are betting on games (and players' periods) that experts warn is not only pseudoscientific, but also sexist.

Outstanding Political Cartoons

Given all the talk over the past few months about dangerous rhetoric and how it contributes to political violence in this country, one would expect that the press that complains about such rhetoric would work to cool the outrage. Not so in Utah.





In this sensitive environment, it seems a little blind for a news outlet to promote images of a world leader carrying a chainsaw to American farmers. It's impossible to present this as anything other than when you use a direct reference to a classic slasher film in the title of this feature.

Outstanding Editorials

It's always understandable when an activist writer sees a social inequality that affects them personally and uses that perceived insult to make a point on the issue. Understandable, we say, because they can't help themselves. But what makes this attempt particularly impressive is that writer Holcomb sees what most would consider normal behavior, and she spends over 3,000 words talking about being wronged. So what made this journalist so angry?

Men are ready to once again pay attention to attractive women.

That's it. But she sees this return of open recognition of beautiful and fit women as a social scourge that is seeping into our culture, and bemoans the abandonment of body positivity (TRANSLATION: glorifying those who are massively overweight).





Making this bleat even more special, Holcomb critiques the return to weight loss, fitness and improving your fitness on CNN digital's HEALTH & WELLNESS section.


Editor's note: The mainstream media continues to distort, propagandize, spread, and lie about President Trump, his administration, and conservatives.
