Nick Arama with our friends at RedState took a blowtorch Sunday to longtime liberal journalist Katie Couric’s hissy fit last week over liberal legacy media outlets losing permanent office space at the Pentagon, noting saner corners of the internet weren’t falling for her “ridiculous hyperventilation.”
In reaction to the Pentagon informing NBC, The New York Times, taxpayer-funded NPR, and Politico they were being booted from their unspoken saved cubbies booted for Breitbart, the New York Post, One America News Network, and far-left HuffPo, Couric said this in an X post: “Wow. This is how news becomes propaganda. It’s begun. Pay attention.”
Arama hit the nail on the head that it’s not censorship or “propaganda,” but rather “giving other media the chance to use the spaces on a rotational basis, and not just having them used by the favored few.”
Noting the liberal outlets are still allowed to show up and cover the Pentagon like everyone else, Arama explained the real issue isn’t access, but liberal media types losing “their special status,” adding:
But when you see how she manipulates facts just in her reaction to this simple-to-understand story, you know how ridiculous what she says is. Does she really think that people are just going to fall for this spin? Liberal media types are so upset that legacy media is tanking, that no one believes them anymore, and that new media is on the rise. People just aren’t falling for it anymore.
Citing the years-long Russian collusion hubbub, Arama astutely made the point we would at NewsBusters that, along with her decades-long career in bias, one of her worst blemishes (to be charitable) was her 2016 admission that she had doctored an interview with the Virginia Citizens Defense League (VCDL) for her anti-Second Amendment documentary, Under the Gun.
