Kevin Spacey Claims To Have Flown with Esptein

Shunned actor Kevin Spacey has admitted in an interview with Piers Morgan that he flew on an airplane owned by the financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. In the interview the actor tearfully discussed his financial struggles, which he claimed had been caused by mounting legal fees following multiple sexual assault allegations.

Spacey insisted that he had no relationship with Epstein, and that he did not know at the time who he was or that he was flying on one of his planes. He also denied having known Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell despite being in the same room with her, and claimed that he traveled with the Clinton Foundation.

Commentators Pat Gray and Jeff Fisher dismissed the claims in Gray’s podcast; Jeff joked that being associated with the Clintons was “not much better” and Gray called Spacey’s claim that he knew neither Epstein nor Maxwell despite traveling on a plane with them “garbage”.

Though many public figures named in the Epstein files were only distantly connected or mentioned in conversation with the financier, former President Bill Clinton is among those named in more serious allegations. As documents unsealed in January 2024 revealed, witness Sarah Ransome claimed that the sex offender had kept sex tapes of Clinton as well as Prince Andrew and Richard Branson.

Spacey prompted further controversy when he came out as gay in response to the allegations. After being blacklisted by much of Hollywood, Spacey was acquitted in 2023 of sexually assaulting four men. Despite the verdict, the actor has since admitted to Morgan that he was “too handsy” in the past. Liam Neeson, Stephen Fry and Sharon Stone are among those calling for Spacey’s return to the screen following his acquittal.

In response to the allegations, the actor was sacked from his role on the House of Cards TV series after six seasons of the show, and edited out of the movie All the Money in the World. His replacement Christopher Plummer had to reshoot his scenes at the last minute. Spacey is famous for his roles in American Beauty, LA Confidential, the Usual Suspects and Se7en. His performance in American Beauty won him an Academy Award for best actor in 2000.

Fact Checkers Assemble to Assure American Public Biden Didn’t Poop His Pants

Oh lord. Being a writer for WokeSpy can make a person spiral into confusion. Are we writing about something real, about a parody, or about a parody of a parody?

It’s 2024, which means we have to ask if the president of the United States pooped his pants or not. As much as it irritates the woke media, it is (sadly) a legitimate question.

On the 80th anniversary of D-Day, the massive Allied invasion of Normandy during WWII, President Joe Biden joined other leaders to pay tribute to the soldiers who fought and died.

Unfortunately, Biden’s advanced age and difficulty was quite evident during the ceremony. When it came time to sit down on the stage, the president bent forward and appeared to be half-squatting for several seconds. He gave the appearance of not knowing where he was, and not knowing whether he was supposed to sit.

Roseanne Barr joined Benny Johnson’s podcast and she appears to be sold on the idea.

We at WokeSpy haven’t jumped on the “he pooped his pants” bandwagon that started immediately on the right. It’s much more likely that he was confused about where his chair might be. But fair is fair: you can make an argument that he might have. Sad as it may be, Biden’s obvious age-related difficulties are apparent to any observer.

The Daily Beast is big mad about it, and they blame all the joking and speculating on “MAGA trolls.”

“This video shows Biden did not—in fact—poop himself in France.” Oh, dear.

Some games are better sat out; this one is not going well for The Daily Beast on X. There are several humor accounts that reliably pop up with salty commentary on the politics of the day, and two of our favorites didn’t let us down. 

This user echoed Roseanne Barr’s joke linked above.

User “WokeGPT” ramped it up.

“AdamInHTownTX” inconveniently drew attention to First Lady Jill Biden’s needing to whisper instructions to the president before guiding him off the stage.

Grimly, we do have a president in obvious age-related decline, and lefties might worry a bit more about the fact that the rest of the world is laughing at us instead of trying to humor-police fed-up Americans.

Flashback: CNN Contradicts Their Own Reporting on Presidents and Gas Prices Within 10 Days

An election year means that the American public must be vigilant as to where they consume their news.

Across the nation, mainstream media corporations will carefully select what they report on for their readers and viewers. Left-wing publications will no doubt criticize Republican candidate Donald Trump, while conservative broadcasters will focus their efforts on the incapability of President Joe Biden.

CNN is no exception. Once nicknamed the “Clinton News Network” by Donald Trump, the corporation is notorious for its left-wing bias – perhaps best amusingly highlighted by the @DefiantLs account on X.

The account – which is dedicated to “exposing hypocrisy and making you smile” – shared two CNN Business articles published only ten days apart.

The first, published on November 9, 2021, is titled “Why Joe Biden can’t do much to ease gas prices”, with the article exploring further into contributing factors to rising oil prices at the time, with the purpose of downplaying any role Biden played in them.

Just ten days later, Jula Horowitz – the author of the aforementioned article – published a follow-up where readers were encouraged to “thank China and Joe Biden” for the subsequent drop in price.

As always, reporting is a “heads I win, tails you lose” game to the modern journalist.

Social media users responded to the post from June 5, 2024, with other examples of CNN’s intriguing perspective on reporting.

Others called for further scrutiny of the “partisan” mainstream media.

What’s your view on CNN? Do you still watch it? Feel free to let us know in the comments below.

Media Matters Meltdown: Far-Left Smear Machine Starts Laying Off Staff

The hard-left smear machine “Media Matters” is getting a taste of its own cancellation medicine, and its employees don’t like it one little bit. Media Matters presents itself as a watchdog over right-wing media and public figures, but acts more like a propaganda company dedicated to ruining their political opposition by any means necessary.

The company announced it had to lay off at least a dozen staff May 24, and it’s blaming that on X (Twitter) owner Elon Musk. Last fall Musk sued Media Matters, claiming the company deliberately made up a “report” to scare advertisers away from buying space on X. The suit accuses Media Matters of manipulating X’s algorithm to make it appear that mainstream advertisers spots were appearing next to “racist” or “Nazi” content from platform users, when in fact they were not.

My, how the worm has turned. Media Matters makes its money by dishonestly targeting conservative commentators to make them appear dangerous and insane. One of their favorites is Daily Wire host Matt Walsh, who jokingly calls himself a theocratic fascist dictator. Media Matters pretends to take his obviously sarcastic and satirical seriously. Here’s just a small sample :

The author, transgender writer Ari Drennen, is now (to the amusement of millions) among those also identifying as unemployed.

Some of Media Matters’ favorite targets are having great fun rubbing salt in the wound. The Babylon Bee’s Kyle Mann:

Musk himself couldn’t help but laugh too:

Another now-unemployed crusader, Media Matters’ chief anti-Israel and anti-Tucker Carlson voice Kat Abu, is having a very bad day too:

Last year Kat Abu was crowing about Fox News firing Tucker Carlson:

And it looks like the general public on X isn’t too sympathetic, either:

MSNBC Fishes For Clicks With Red Lobster Opinion Piece

When I write for this site, I usually look to debunk woke myths or highlight examples of extremism we feel you should be aware of.

This one, however, is the most absurd story I’ve ever seen. MSNBC contributor Robyn Autry claimed on May 19 that the Red Lobster bankruptcy proceedings would “hit Black communities differently,” at least demonstrating an impressive ability in racializing anything. Partially justifying the claim by pointing out a correlation between Black people and their consumption of fish, Autry went on to highlight Bill Darden’s integrationist policy when he opened his first Red Lobster in 1968 (which, of course, was required by law due to passing of the Civil Rights Act four years earlier).

Effectively, the article goes on to highlight how Red Lobster is popular among Black and Latino Americans, and pins its success and failures to the economic prospects of Black Americans. According to the author, “Black consumers are among the most loyal. Sure, we like fish and a good deal — Red Lobster represented something like the strip mall version of the beloved fish fry — but we like being treated equally even more.”

It’s worth noting that if a white person wrote an identical argument he’d be accused of racism for unfairly stereotyping black people. But once again, the only standards on the left are double standards.

The article was more worthy of mockery than a read, and the reactions were hilarious:

Former Biden Press Sec Jen Psaki Ridiculed For Claiming She’s A Journalist

Former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki was met with ridicule at her own book launch when claiming she was a journalist.

Psaki, who served as Biden’s spokesperson until May 2022, is currently promoting her new book titled “Say More.” It’s a launch which has seen a disastrous start after after she was forced to remove some information due to inaccuracies.

Since her departure from Biden administration, Psaki has fronted MSNBC coverage on Sunday mornings and Monday evenings, much to the dismay of her colleagues.

However, it appears not everyone is taking her new career seriously when questioned by Kara Swisher.

“You switched to journalism essentially. You think you’re a journalist?” asked Swisher.

“Yes,” replied Psaki, prompting laughter from the attending audience.

Social media users were quick to point out her connection to the Biden administration.

Others, meanwhile, were skeptical over her newfound passion.

Is Jen Psaki really a journalist? Or is she merely looking to stay in the spotlight? Let us know in the comments below.

Socialist Website Criticizes Walmart Over “Starvation Wages” – But Walmart Often Pays More Than They Do

Socialist propaganda website Jacobin was the subject of a hilarious community note on X when posting an article about Walmart’s first-quarter profits.

The site posted the article, titled “Walmart Is Still Putting Ebenezer Scrooge to Shame”, on Monday, May 20. It described the retailer as “infamous for its starvation wages”.

“The surge is a result of its strategic shift toward catering to affluent shoppers while its full-time workers continue to rely on Medicaid and food stamps,” the post added.

However, social media users were quick to point out the low rates of pay for Jacobin’s writers, who are only paid $0.07 per word.

This pay rate – for which writers are asked to complete at least 1,800 words – is at lower end of the pay scale for inexperienced, beginner writers. Alas, a worker at Walmart, who can enjoy additional company benefits, outearns the average writer in the Jacobin sweatshop when you account for the amount of research and editing it takes to complete a 1,800 word article.

Given the absurdity of the article, others questioned whether Jacobin’s pay rate is actually too generous!

Jacobin claims to be a “leading voice of the American left, offering socialist perspectives on politics, economics, and culture”. Its low payrate, at the very least, suggests it practices what it preaches.

Kennedy Family Snubs RFK Jr.

Thanksgiving dinner at the Kennedy Compound might be a little more contentious than usual this year.

Last week, 15 members of the storied Kennedy family publicly endorsed Joe Biden for President, snubbing their relation, independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. While there’s speculation as to what prompted them to come forward, common sense suggests that they fear RFK Jr. is going to siphon off a larger share of the vote from Biden than Donald Trump.

Most notable in the group was Kerry Kennedy, Robert’s sister. Oddly enough, she never mentioned her brother in her speech, instead targeting her attack at Donald Trump.

The announcement didn’t seem to move the needle much, however.

This comes as no real surprise to those who are paying attention. Instead, it just confirms that establishment Democrats are terrified of Kennedy, Jr taking votes away from Joe Biden in what is expected to be a very close presidential election.

Kennedy, Jr, an environmental attorney by trade, is quite liberal in many of his beliefs. He veered from the Democrat playbook in 2020, however, when he dared to raise questions about the COVID-19 vaccine.

Although it’s a long shot, just imagine the crow his family will have to eat should Kennedy, Jr pull off a victory in November. Walking into Thanksgiving dinner could look something like this…

Media Machines and Woke Extremism Bias: Navigating Information in the Age of Tyranny by the Minority

Woke extremist ideology makes the blood of many boil.

All too often there are news stories out of the mainstream media of the latest woke measure at a school in Michigan, a retailer in New Jersey, or a movie studio in Orlando. All receive proper criticism but the woke ideology seems to always achieve its goal: publicity.

When six corporations control 90% of the media in America, it’s hard for dissenting voices to be heard. Logic and reason simply doesn’t get bought from the mainstream media; woke extremism, however, flies off the proverbial shelves. A common misconception is that media outlets promote what they want you to know. In reality, the mainstream media promotes stories which it believes will “sell”, even if they do not agree with the content. If readers or viewers are engaging with a story through appraise or outrage, then it’s a success.

Publicity Rules

This suits the desperation of woke extremists to constantly remain relevant. They are dedicated adherents to the concept of “no such thing as bad publicity”; quite simply, they do not care what the response to their extremism is, they just want it to be the center of attention.

Of course, the responses vary from tentative praise to fierce criticism. However, when woke ideologies continually make headlines, journalists and broadcasters often spend more time focusing on attacking woke issues rather than promoting the interests of the vast majority of people.

The very nature of news media is partly responsible for this. In part because of the word “news” itself – if the same old things are happening, it cannot be considered “news.” Hence, woke extremists – so desperate to change anything and everything wherever it is possible – regularly feature within the mainstream media.

That is a very basic explanation, and popular issues stretch far beyond maintaining America as we know – or knew – it. Sadly, many voices are only called upon only to rebuff woke ideologies, leaving them little time to devote to issues which many are interested in.

Alternative Media

Fortunately, technological advancements now mean it’s easier than ever before for all viewpoints to be shared on a mass scale. Events since the turn of the decade have promoted a greater interest in popular ideas such as personal responsibility, objective reality, logic, and reason that offer an alternative to those who want to keep up to date on the news which interests them.

Two recent success stories suggest there is growing demand for current news reporting. In the United Kingdom, the launch of GB News in 2021 has offered an alternative to the centrist broadcast media landscape. Likewise, following his dismissal from Fox News and CNN, Tucker Carlson and Don Lemon have launched their own media companies, one doing traditional news and the other becoming the first western journalist to interview Russian President Vladimir Putin since his country’s invasion of Ukraine two years ago.

Perhaps the secret to success for new media is content over policy. Carlson was Fox’s top broadcaster until his dismissal, and his compelling interviews have scored over hundreds of millions of views on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter). GB News has drafted in politicians such as Brexit advocate Nigel Farage and former Prime Minister Boris Johnson to speak on important topics. Don Lemon has also pursued content that he now gets to curate himself instead of being beholden to a network’s agenda.

Ironically, the woke attack weapon of cancel culture is also it’s Achilles heal. Woke activists long to cancel anyone who attacks their ideology, and most broadcasters are no exception. The publicity from its own antics has turned people away from their ideology and had them return their focus on the foundations of their own existence, thus bringing popular viewpoints back into the spotlight. And that is some good news.
