TUESDAY: There is no cure for being human!

TUESDAY, JULY 29, 2025

Charlamagne crashes and burns: Yesterday, in this news report, the New York Times taught a lesson. 

It taught an (extremely obvious) journalism lesson. The lesson is extremely obvious. More accurately, it's extremely obvious to everyone except our flailing American journalists.

At issue was the latest baldly inappropriate behavior by the sitting president. While attempting to defend his own behavior, he had unloosed one of his standard unfounded allegations about somebody else.

Please talk about the other guy, the disordered chief executive said. Inevitably, one journalist after another rushed to place his unfounded allegation in print:

PRESIDENT TRUMP (7/28/25): For years, I wouldn't talk to Jeffrey Epstein. I wouldn't talk because he did something that was inappropriate. He hired help. And I said, "Don't ever do that again." He stole people that worked for me. 

I said, "Don't ever do that again." He did it again and I threw him out of the place, persona non grata. I threw him out and that was it. I'm glad I did, if you want to know the truth.

And by the way, I never went to the island, and Bill Clinton went there supposedly 28 times...

That's what the disordered man said. As he continued, he made a second unfounded statement about somebody else. As every sane person must know by now, this is the sort of thing he does on a regular basis.

Readers, how about it? Did Bill Clinton got to the island 28 times? 

As far as we know, there is no reason to believe that he ever went to the island at all! But then again, so what?

There is no cure for human! At Mediaite, three (3) different journalists rushed out posts which repeated the sitting president's statement, without making any mention of the fact that his statement was wholly unfounded and is almost certainly false.

It's hard to be much dumber than that. That said, we humans will try.

The New York Times wanted to report the bulk of what Trump had said. It didn't want to lend its imprimatur to an unfounded statement which is almost certainly false. 

It didn't want to pass the slander on! And so, its news report starts like this, headline included

Trump Says He Declined Epstein’s Invitation to Visit His Island: ‘I Never Had the Privilege of Going’

President Trump said on Monday that he had “never had the privilege” of visiting Jeffrey Epstein’s private Caribbean island because he had turned down an invitation from the financier.

As part of a continued effort by Mr. Trump to distract, deny and deflect from his long-running relationship with Mr. Epstein, the president vigorously denied that he had ever visited Mr. Epstein’s private islands in the Caribbean, while in the same breath baselessly accusing his predecessor, former President Bill Clinton, of visiting the islands, his latest bid at conspiracy deflection.

That's the way the news report started. The Times reported that Trump's assertion was "baseless" even before it said what the assertion was. It even offered an unflattering explanation for the baseless assertion by Trump.

For our money, we would have made a larger point about the sitting president's misconduct. That said, as it continued, the Times refused to report the specific number of visits the sitting president had baselessly alleged. 

It also went into more detail about the actual state of what is actually known about the matter at hand:

“I never went to the island, and Bill Clinton went there supposedly” a number of times, Mr. Trump said during a trip to Scotland. Mr. Epstein owned two islands in the U.S. Virgin Islands—Little St. James and Great St. James, where he entertained famous friends and allegedly trafficked underage girls for sex.

He continued, “I never had the privilege of going to his island, and I did turn it down, but a lot of people in Palm Beach were invited to his island. In one of my very good moments, I turned it down.”

Mr. Clinton has denied visiting the islands or having any knowledge of Mr. Epstein’s criminal behavior, and has said he wishes he had never met him. When asked about Mr. Trump’s accusations, an aide to Mr. Clinton pointed to that original denial, adding that it had been 20 years since Mr. Clinton had been in contact with Mr. Epstein.

In 2002, Mr. Clinton had flown on a private jet owned by Mr. Epstein as part of a visit to Africa—a trip which brought a flurry of media attention—but the former president has not been linked by prosecutors or officials to any of the criminal accusations against Mr. Epstein. 

In our view, even the Times didn't do enough in its refusal to honor the sitting president's latest misconduct. But three (3) employees of Mediaite simply reprinted Trump's accusation without making any attempt to note the fact that his claim is completely unfounded.

There is no cure for that. There's no known cure for human.

It wasn't just Mediaite, of course. As we (briefly) noted yesterday, other journalists at other sites rushed to provide the same service. 

Sad! You tend to think it isn't possible for people to go beyond some imagined level of Dumb. Then they get a chance to prove you wrong, and prove you wrong they will!

There's no cure for being human! This fact has also been proved by Charlamagne Tha God, with Mediaite pimping the dumbness around.

You simply can't get dumber than that foolishness from Tha God. For the background behind the silly but pointless painting in question, you can just click here.

(Charlamagne thinks the "liberal media" should be talking about that utterly pointless set of events! Simply put, there is no cure for instinctive reactions like that.)

As we've noted, the so-called "democratization of media" has created a hapless new world. It's a world in which this bromide now obtains:

Every rube a king!

In theory, it sounded like a good idea to create a world in which everyone would have access to high communication platforms. It sounded like a good idea because, dumb as We Tha Humans are, we didn't have the slightest idea who far our bad judgment would go.

There is no cure for being human! Given the communication structures which now exist, there also isn't any obvious way out of this ongoing mess.

President Trump had made his latest bogus claim. He does this all day long.

Our geniuses knew what they should do. Our geniuses spread it all around. After that, Tha God came along and actually managed to top it!

For honor roll students only: By the way, fellow citizens, no:

You're not allowed to make something up, then stick "supposedly" in!
