Within hours of the August 25, 2020, shootings in Kenosha, Wisconsin — not days, but hours — it was decreed as unquestioned fact in mainstream political and media circles that the shooter, Kyle Rittenhouse, was a "white supremacist.” Over the next fifteen months, up to and including his acquittal by a jury of his peers on all charges, this label was applied to him more times than one can count by corporate media outlets as though it were proven fact. Indeed, that Rittenhouse was a "white supremacist” was deemed so unquestionably true that questioning it was cast as evidence of one's own racist inclinations (defending a white supremacist).

Yet all along, there was never any substantial evidence, let alone convincing proof, that it was true. This fact is, or at least should be, an extraordinary, even scandalous, event: a 17-year-old was widely vilified as being a white supremacist by a union of national media and major politicians despite there being no evidence to support the accusation. Yet it took his acquittal by a jury who heard all the evidence and testimony for parts of the corporate press to finally summon the courage to point out that what had been Gospel about Rittenhouse for the last fifteen months was, in fact, utterly baseless.

Media's false fearmongering about Michigan
How-to debunk scarecrow articles and why the VAXXED should be in fear ...

Similar cookie cutter articles appear about other locations. They always are meant to blame the unvaccinated for the situation and to scare people into getting vaccinated.

The problem is that these articles are lies.

You can easily look at the situation and usually you can show that

the number of hospitalized Covid patients is similar to last year (despite “safe and effective” vaccines)

the number of non-Covid patients (usually sick vaccinated people) is about 20-30% higher than a year ago

shortage of staff is due to firings of unvaccinated workers

Look, I don't want to get my info from explicitly right-leaning publications but apparently if you want to know anything about that guy who mass murdered people at a parade last week, that's where you have to go.

The NYT stopped reporting on this story 5 days ago. Their last piece was an article that treated him as a hiccup in the efforts toward bail reform.

The Washington Post reported on this story for 2 days before they abandoned it.

That's, um...really weird, isn't it?
It's true, though: the two papers of record in the United States have more or less ignored this story, opting instead for sparse reportage on secondary aspects of the tragedy itself.

media outlets have been complicit in Dr. Fauci’s disastrous mismanagement of the pandemic — with 4.2% of the world’s population, America under Dr. Fauci’s regimen, racked up 20% of global COVID deaths.

CIA’s Extraordinary Role Influencing Liberal Media Outlets Daily Kos, The Daily Beast, Rolling Stone
Part 1 of a two-part series takes a deep dive into the history of the CIA’s central role in orchestrating news and editorial coverage in America’s most influential liberal national media outlets — and its continued hold today.

Not a single writer, or pundit, or CNN anchor, or MSNBC host, who pushed how grotesque this “attack” was will stare down the camera during one of their shows, and say “I was wrong — we need to be better.” They have had ample opportunity to do so.

The "Trusted News Initiative" is one of the mechanisms by which legacy media and Big tech act to close the "Overton Window" of acceptable political discourse.

This is a great example of intentional tactical actions by USG in collusion with private entities to restrict the Overton window regarding the discussion of the "lab leak" (ergo, gain of function engineering of this pathogen) by USG (DTRA, NIH) cooperating with the Wuhan lab.

Regarding the "Overton Window": Pharma, BigTech, legacy media and the government have succeeded in intentionally collapsing what is "allowable" political discourse. Freedom benefits from those who speak "radical" truths which help push it back open.

This is a deep strategic and tactical truth that broadcasters like Steve Bannon and Glen Beck understand. They are intentional media warriors that stand at the edge of allowable discourse and continually work to push the window open. This is their role in this passion play.
