Katie Couric’s RBG Coverup

The mainstream media’s credibility took another big hit this week. Katie Couric, the former co-host of NBC’s Today show, revealed in a new memoir that she chose not to air some controversial comments made to her five years ago by the sainted Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, involving RBG’s criticism of NFL players like Colin Kaepernick kneeling during the national anthem.

Couric says she was “conflicted” because she was a “big RBG fan,” so she only aired some of the harsh words RBG had for the football players refusing to stand for the national anthem. According to her story, after talking with New York Times columnist David Brooks, Couric concluded that Ginsburg—who was on the Supreme Court at the time—was “elderly and probably didn’t fully understand the question.” Couric confesses in her book that she “‘wanted to protect’ Ginsburg and felt that the issue of racial justice was a ‘blind spot’ for her.”

Couric’s revelation comes on the heels of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) being forced to apologize for altering a famous RBG quote. During her 1993 confirmation hearings, Ginsburg said, “The decision whether or not to bear a child is central to a woman’s life, to her well-being and dignity.” In keeping with today’s gender-neutral nomenclature, the group changed “woman” to a bracketed “[person’s]” and swapped the word “her” with a bracketed “[their].”

Fury as Tory Nick Timothy attacks police for attending 'politically-correct' Pride

A former Downing Street adviser has been slammed for mocking senior police officers for attending Pride celebrations.

Nick Timothy, who was one of Theresa May's Joint Chiefs of Staff, used Twitter to criticise a senior West Midlands Police officer for taking part in the parade celebrating LGBT rights in Birmingham.

He retweeted a short video showing the force's Chief Constable Dave Thompson and West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner Simon Foster in attendance at the parade wishing people a 'happy Pride'.

Mr Timothy said: "In Birmingham I’m proud to report that the complete eradication of crime means the police now play a purely ceremonial role for politically correct causes."

His comments, first reported by Birmingham Live, attracted ire from across the political spectrum, and sparked calls for his role as a board member of the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games to be reconsidered.

In response, the chief constable wrote: "Nick, I am disappointed at this response. I am proud to walk with my @WMPLGBTNetwork colleagues in @BirminghamPride on our day off work.
