Your Moral And Intellectual Superiors

Matt Taibbi;

The flow of information in the United States has become so politicized – bottlenecked by an increasingly brazen union of corporate press and tech platforms – that it’s become impossible for American audiences to see news about certain topics absent thickets of propagandistic contextualizing. Try to look up anything about Burisma, Joe Biden, or Hunter Biden in English, however, and you’re likely to be shown a pile of “fact-checks” and explainers ahead of the raw information. […]
 
As has been hinted at by several prominent journalists, controversies erupted within newsrooms across New York and Washington in the last week. Editors have been telling charges that any effort to determine whether or not the Biden laptop material is true, or to ask the Biden campaign to confirm or deny the story, will either not be allowed or put through heightened fact-checking procedures.
 

On the other hand, if you want to assert without any evidence at all that the New York Post story is Russian interference, you can essentially go straight into print.

  1. That’s what happens when the institutional left dominates the institutions. There is no media as we once understood the term. we only have 95%-plus leftist partisan functionaries acting as such now without even a pretense of neutrality or humility. The communist revolution we find ourselves engaged in today is not proletarian driven but institutional with fake mercenary proletarian street theatre as special effects choreography.

  2. At least in the US there is a robust conservative media presence (Fox, OAN, Federalist, Examiner, Daily Wire, Daily Caller, Blaze, Spectator, AmCon, Breitbart, Washington Times, etc.). In Canada, there is the Rebel and a couple of guys at the Toronto Sun.

  3. The media clowns gave each other Pulitzer Prizes for reporting, failing to research and promulgating a known hoax.
    Enough said. There are the enemy of truth and the American way, crony capitalists with favoured status with collectivists.

  4. In Canada under the Liberals and the Left, free speech is under attack and offerings on the internet will be subject to “Hate Speak” laws or “Fact Check Regulation” soon enough.
    The neo-Marxists will not allow it and they are in power now. Forever.

  5. This might help:
    Tucker Carlson’s show tonight will be devoted entirely to an interview with Tony Bobulinksi, the Biden family insider-turned-whistleblower whose explosive e-mails show that Joe Biden himself was deeply involved in Hunter’s foreign business dealings.
    Bobulinski will play recordings of Biden family operatives begging him to stay quiet and claiming Bobulinski’s revelations will bury the reputations of everyone involved in Hunter’s overseas deals.

  6. We’re moving closer to George Orwell’s 1984. Every. Single. Day.

    The scary thing is that the sheeple don’t even realize it. A few weeks ago I was talking to my daughter (she’s in her late 30’s) and I said something like, “Hope you’re not getting all your news from Facebook” and she said, “That’s where I get ALL my news.”

    We’re doomed.

    1. The scary thing is that the sheeple don’t even realize it.

      And even if they did, they probably don’t care. Worse yet, they might even rejoice. The government will take care of everything, so they don’t have to. All the free stuff they’ll receive, paid for out of Dear Leader’s own pocket. All the free time they’ll now have to create all that art.

      If sheeple bend forward far enough, they become rectal spelunkers.

  7. I love the way the media’s success is reflected in their bottom line.
    People do notice the half truths and propaganda,even though the “experts” insist they don’t,for evidence,all the legacy medias are spiralling into bankruptcy as most of the public are not willing to spend a dime on their “stories”.
    This eruption of self exposure,by the Pressitutes and their travelling companions is very timely.
    President Trump said fake newz and these “patriotic” idiots lined up to make it so.
    Focusing the public eye on their own shortcomings.
    The Tech Lords,are going all in on supporting the Demon Rats,seems they are truly ignorant of politic,power and human nature,for the people they are throwing their public away to support are the very people who will betray them,destroy them and smile while they do it.
    Of course it is now a race,between the public rejection of their services and the politicians regulating them into oblivion.
    Get woke go broke.

  8. Don’t know if I have posted this on SDA before, if so forgive the repetition.

    In about September of 2016 I typed two words into Google Search.

    “Hillary Lies”

    The first TWENTY-THREE pages were supposed lies ABOUT Hillary.

    Page 24 then examined some of the “lies” she allegedly told, all fact-checked by Snopes, AP etc as false.
