One of many dangers inherent to Regime Media, versus performing reliable fact-based journalism, is that their Trump Derangement Syndrome drives them to say issues which might be simply debunkable or rapidly confirmed improper.
Take, for instance, CBS’s Chief White Home Correspondent Nancy Cordes. Throughout her report final week fretting the impact the pro-Hamas campus protests might need upon President Joe Biden’s reelection prospects, she threw in a 15-second non-sequitur accusing former President Donald Trump of constructing an “unfounded declare about campus demonstrators”- a fancier and extra succinct “with out proof”. We flagged it the time, and memorialized it by way of X in anticipation of the inevitable:

As we mentioned when overlaying her broader report:
Cordes’ shootdown of Trump’s assertion so early into the protest fallout is smug to the purpose of recklessness. All it takes is ONE paid international scholar/agitator to be able to make Cordes seem like a complete idiot.
Properly, you’ll by no means guess what inevitably occurred subsequent. It seems that there, in reality, are foreign-born outdoors agitators funded by outdoors organizations most charitably categorized as “woke philanthropy”. As Joe Simonson reported within the Washington Free Beacon:
A New York Metropolis nonprofit that acquired greater than $12 million from Goldman Sachs’ charitable arm inspired anti-Israel activists to re-create the violent protests of “the summer season of 2020,” simply hours earlier than rioters stormed and occupied a constructing on Columbia College’s campus.
Greater than 100 masked and keffiyeh-clad activists convened within the Individuals’s Discussion board’s Manhattan workplace Monday night to plan their subsequent strikes as anti-Israel protests attain a fever pitch throughout the nation. The assembly, which was scheduled to start out at 6:45 p.m., was delayed to offer protesters from Columbia time to make it downtown.
As soon as the Columbia protesters arrived, Individuals’s Discussion board govt director Manolo De Los Santos urged the group to “give Joe Biden a sizzling summer season” and “make it untenable for the politics of traditional to happen on this nation.” Los Santos praised Columbia college students for “decid[ing] that resistance is extra vital than negotiations,” and urged these assembled on the Individuals’s Discussion board to “assist our college students in order that the encampments can go for so long as they will.”
Sounds very outdoors agitation-y. Who funds The Individuals’s Discussion board, you ask? Properly:
The Individuals’s Discussion board’s operations are made doable largely by a $12 million donation from Goldman Sachs’s charitable arm. The supply of that cash is probably going Neville Roy Singham, a communist who has “lengthy admired Maoism.”
Singham, an American businessman who lives in China, reportedly helps finance the Chinese language Communist Get together’s “propaganda worldwide,” in keeping with the New York Instances. His spouse, Jodie Evans, is the chief of the activist group Code Pink. Beneath her management, the group has celebrated China as “a defender of the oppressed and a mannequin for financial progress with out slavery or warfare.”
So we now have woke-funded outdoors agitation. The place, would possibly one ask, was this gentleman born? Per The New York Publish:
Manolo De Los Santos, the 35-year-old chief of the Midtown-based nonprofit The Individuals’s Discussion board (TPF), got here to The Bronx from his native Dominican Republic at age 5 and has made a profession of spurring protests on the streets of New York Metropolis.
He first traveled to Cuba in 2006 and was there as not too long ago as March to demand an finish to the US blockade towards the socialist state which has been in place since 1962.
Properly, there you’ve got it. A foreign-born outdoors agitator funded by nonprofits. As an added bonus, he obtained himself arrested at a campus encampment final night time:
🚨BREAKING! A number of leaders of the ALL OUT FOR RAFAH march in NYC have been arrested by the NYPD whereas they led over a thousand pro-Palestine demonstrators within the streets of Manhattan. We is not going to stand for the intimidation of the NYPD. The extra they attempt to silence us the louder we… pic.twitter.com/DlAqq5ZXH7

Will Nancy Cordes retract her smear of Trump or problem an apology? Most likely not, as that might distract from her ongoing battle with ABC’s Mary Bruce for many Biden-sycophantic White Home correspondent. The price of being Regime Media is that, most of the time, you’re going to be made to look ridiculous.
