The most clear explanation for why there is faith in mediaThe lowest point in five decadesThese days what goes through news reporting is a lot is incredible – Sometimes Intentionally,
But an equally reliable, although low-discsed, principle for trust gaps: The news industry is pervading without creeping.
For example, in the weekend of July 4, take a deadly flood smog, self-serving coverage in mid-Texas. About120 peopleHe has lost his life from five counties. In a better time, such a natural disaster will be completed with a serious news and somber analysis.
Today is not the case. Instead, the news of a deadly flood “stated-u-sos” and a mountain of biased finger-signs, as the press members race each other to blame their favorite political goals. Texas officials had not yet started their dead to fix their dead, before the press members started to guess that the Budget of the Trump Administration had increased the death toll, the toll of death, their eagerness to add a fatal event with administrative reforms often with a lonant entry that they had no idea if they were associated.
On July 5, since efforts to overcome the bodies from flood waters started in Bayana, CNN’s Juliet Kayem said that an issue that should be addressed is “Donald Trump and Doga’s effort has done what has done and questioned for the national weather service. [the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration], [Did] Those cuts mean that the team no longer has experience, or is it not enough of them? ,
The National Weather Service Office in New Braunfales, whose forecasts Austin, San Antonio, and covered the surrounding areas, “were additional employees on duty during storms,” intense. Nevertheless, these on-the-ridden comments did nothing to calm the media’s enthusiasm to tie the floods in the White House.
On July 6, ABC News Anchor George staphyopolos He said that he heard that “there was a lack of important staff in the National Weather Services offices in the region,” a clear implication is that the recent budget cut of the White House contributed to the disaster. The ABC anchor then converted the microphone to the former National Economic Council Director Larry Summers, who recently killed the budget cut “in ten years, kill 100,000 people.”
He said, “It is two thousand days of death like we have seen in Texas later this week,” he said, doing mathematics a little wrong. “In my 70 years, I was never embarrassed for my country on fourth July.”
The same morning, CNN anchor Dana Bash said he heard that “two Texas are involved in forecasting and warning about floods on the Gwadalup River in National Meteorological Services offices, remembering some prominent staff members.”
“Do you have any indication whether those or other cuts helped play a role in the fact that people in the flood sector were not prepared and certainly not evacuated?” He asked Rape-Jokine Castro (D-Texas) in a follow-up.
These and similar questions are mostly irresponsible speculation. In fact for unwanted stuff, we turn to CNN Senior White House reporter Betsy Klein, who said on Sunday, stating that recent budget cuts actually contributed to the toll of death.
“I want to indicate two additional things because we continue to track this federal response,” he said. “Number one is that the President criticizes the Federal Emergency Management Agency FEMA deeply.”
“Separately,” Klein said, “the proposed financial year 2026 budget of the Trump administration, which is already following it, provides large -scale cuts to some weather research laboratories that are important to forecast such extreme weather events. [NOAA] Also the National Weather Service. ,
Klein further demonstrated his disregard for those facts when he followed it with a note of clarification: “It is really known at this level very soon [the cuts] This notification effort had any effect. … The storm that caused situations for this flash flood was completely unprecedented, really unprecedented. ,
When we are on the subject of clarification and Edanda, National Meteorological Meteorologist Jason Roonan confirmed the Associated Press on July 6 that the new Braunfales office was additional employees on duty for floods, as is ideal for such weather events.
“There were additional people here that night,” National Weather Service Meteorologist Jason Roonan told AP, “and it is distinctive in every weather service office – you are employees for an event and bring people on overtime and catch people.”
CBS Austin Meteorologist said, “National Meteorological Service released flood clock for Ker County for more than 12 hours,” said CBS Austin Meteorologist saidEvery tomaso“A flash flood warning for Hunt and Ingram was issued three hours before starting to climb at Guadalup. He did his work, and he did it well.”
whatever. Cursed details – We have a legend to sell!
Is it appropriate to say that we are taking action as a country so that we can basically reduce our readiness, reduce the ability to protect people and to warn people in front of such a disaster? “MSNBCRachel MadovAsked on Monday.
News in a small but equally disgusting corner of the media,Buffalo News Published a political cartoon this week, titled “Swept Ave”, which featured a drowning man in a red “maga” cap. The cartoon depicts the man’s (possibly) final words, which are: “Gov’T is the problem, not a solution.”
It is not clear whether the cartoonist, Adam Ziglis, felt the same contempt as 47 new Yorkers, who died during a five -day icy storm in the Buffalo region in 2022. He made fun of the politics of the principle of the victims, and Buffalo News certainly did nothing. When it comes to reporting and commentary, dead new Yorkers do not have the same abuse as dead texas. ,This is something of a trend, by the way,
On July 8, CNN’sKate BolduanRegarding the floods, “Big questions are being raised about warnings and which are also the effects of cuts. [that] The Trump administration was created for the National Weather Service. “However, he accepted in the next breath, there is no” no direct throne “between the two.
PBS anchorChristian aanpaurAsked a guest (his own husband) if he “what has done by President Trump with the same deduction in all executive orders, is comfortable to join?” He later stated that the Trump administration “has returned a lot in climate space … it is almost as someone said,” We are now sleeping in climate destruction. “
Meanwhile, British Parent newspaper“Just ask questions asking questions” did not bother to obscure his intentions, choosing to go straight to Jugular instead: “The deadly floods can be new as new as Trump has warned federal agencies, experts.” Do you catch him? Budget cuts now actually cause floods.
Unexpectedly,Climate change enthusiasmPasslustAs an opportunity to pursue your favorite stories on deadly floods.
“The flood of Texas was made worse by climate denying,” reads the titleBloombergMichael Bloomberg himself was given the Opinion Article.
For records, they are still pulling the bodies from water in Texas, but he already knows what happened. In related news, democratic officials, including Castro And the Senate Minority Leader Chak Shumar (DN.Y.), is demanding an inquiry whether the budget cut and the lack of alleged staff contributed to the overall death toll in Texas.
Imagine It is probably just a coincidence that major news organizations and their employees parrots the points of democrats, even at the point of absurd. Or maybe not.
And people wonder why some people now trust news media.
