The real problem here is the damn press and the internet giants. The press and these tech players act to manufacture and reinforce "consensus" around selected and approved narratives. And then this is being weaponized to attack dissenters including highly qualified physicians.

Can We Really Trust Vaccine Fact Checkers?

Maybe this was posted before, but it's good.

After weeks of explaining there was no Fake White House set, Factcheckers grudgingly admit it's a set, but it's only on the other side of the White House, which somehow makes it more ... explicable?

https://nypost.com/2021/10/07/president-biden-mocked-over-fake-white-house-set/

How can we tell where it really is? I don't think we can.

I think Steven Miller and Peter Navarro have said they've been in the room many times, it's a building next to the White House.

The rumor is that the WH is basically run by Klain, Jarrett, and Obama (remotely by consultation), and Biden is pretty much exiled out of the building.

https://www.foxnews.com/media/new-york-times-massive-correction-covid-hospitalizations-children

The New York Times issued a massive correction Thursday after the liberal newspaper severely misreported the number of COVID hospitalities among children in the United States by more than 800,000.

A report headlined "A New Vaccine Strategy for Children: Just One Dose, for Now," by science and health reporter Apoorva Mandavilli, was peppered with errors before major changes were made to the story. The Times initially reported "nearly 900,000 children have been hospitalized" with COVID since the pandemic began, when the factual data in the now-corrected version is that "more than 63,000 children were hospitalized with Covid-19 from August 2020 to October 2021."

So now we have Fox News kicking the NYT's pants with the truth.

A western citizen is being brainwashed much more than a soviet citizen ever was during the era of communist propaganda. In ideology, the main thing is not the ideas, but rather the mechanisms of their distribution. The might of the Western media, for example, is incomparably greater than that of the propaganda mechanisms of the Vatican when it was at the zenith of its power. And it is not only the cinema, literature, philosophy – all the levers of influence and mechanisms used in the promulgation of culture, in its broadest sense, work in this direction. At the slightest impulse all who work in this area respond with such consistency that it is hard not to think that all orders come from a single source of power.
As quoted in Alexander Zinoviev on Stalin and the dissolution of the USSR

And this from a guy who died in 2006.

https://spectatorworld.com/topic/whipping-up-a-crisis-border/

The wall between journalism and activism is badly corroded. Increasingly, journalists — particularly younger ones — see themselves as serving an ideological mission. I often think back to a late-2020 New York magazine article by Reeves Wiedeman about how this conflict has played out within the Times. During the paper’s internal brouhaha over a controversial op-ed piece the talented journalist and commentator Liz Bruenig uploaded a PDF of a John Rawls essay and argued to her colleagues in an online staff forum that it raised philosophically difficult questions about liberalism that require serious thought.

‘Philosophy schmosiphy,’ responded a researcher, whose avatar was the logo for the hamburger chain Jack in the Box. ‘We’re at a barricades moment in our history. You decide: which side are you on?’ Bruenig was subsequently poached by the Atlantic. I have no inside knowledge but I suspect there is a connection between this moment and her departure.

I can’t say for sure why The Daily botched the whip issue. I can say that ‘which side are you on?’ thinking is endemic in journalism right now, and it rears its head most perniciously when the ideological stakes are high. ‘Are we going to include that whipping thing because everyone says it’s true, or are we going to fact-check it?’

Who wants to be seen, in a business dominated by liberals, as the journalist who doesn’t take racism seriously, and ‘downplays’ the horror that everyone thinks they’ve seen? I’d offer a different version of Mr Jack in the Box’s Manichaean choice: are you an activist or a journalist? Which side are you on?

There are some APIs available to generate and publish articles on any topic in real time. I know someone who did it for some time. It looks like a real news paper and showed up at google news but far below the stack. All are generated including journalist pictures, names and content. The content generator needs some hints like sample content and bias etc. Its hard to believe the look and feel like any other major "news" paper.

MisdemeanorRebellionNoCoupForYou says

Bill Who?

I'm so goddamned happy to have lived long enough to see republicans hate Bill Kristol. He is such a terrible person. Neocons are so awful.

I just hated seeing any human being defending the Neocons 15 years ago. Then I was like "these people are stupid not to see how evil these people are" but today I'm just freaking happy people can see what I have been able to see for so long. They are just terrible people.

I view them in the same way as most "conservatives" would have viewed somebody to the FAR LEFT of Bernie Sanders.

CBS has been a leftist company... it will not change. They are deep into the swamp, and are stuck into the shit that has settled to the bottom. even if you drained the swamp, you will still see CBS in it like a beached whale.

It's great seeing THE "Conservative" Columnist Rubin with only less than half again the followers of Kurt Schlichter

Compare the relative exposure of the two. Rubin is on MSM fairly often; Kurt never. Rubin is in a "Paper of Record", WaPo, as a regular columnist; Schlichter writes for far smaller TownHall.

I'd bet at around 2/3 of Rubin's "Followers" are probably Bots and Paid South Asians, but almost all of Schlichter's are Genuine.

This goes back to the disappearance of commentary on most News Sites starting around 2014-2015. They want to disappear the True Consensus, and create a Fake Consensus.

They don't want to run articles on Transkids on Yahoo! or the Guardian and have 80-90% of the comments be negative, talking about child abuse, Munchausen's Disease, and Trans Empire.

We have entered the Substack era

Twenty years ago, Craigslist captured the classified ads that were the lifeblood of the newspaper business model. Ten years ago social media captured the remaining corporate ads that newspapers relied on. Newspapers shrunk, consolidated, and went bankrupt. They tried to move online, first as a free offering for paid print subscribers and then as an online only subscription model. But only a few newspapers are making it financially. Owning a newspaper is now like owning an NFL team or a racehorse — a hobby for billionaires like Jeff Bezos or Carlos Slim.

Cable news profited from the chaos of the Trump era but now that the Orange Man is gone, their fortunes are slumping as well. CNN and MSNBC no longer report the news, instead they just have a host plus a few guests discussing the reporting done by the NY Times. Television news is now wholly dependent on advertising from the pharmaceutical industry and their coverage reflects that.

So for the last two years the NY Times, Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC, the Atlantic, the Economist, New Yorker, etc. have lied to us every single day about the coronavirus pandemic. They committed mass murder by denigrating treatments that are safe, inexpensive, and effective. And they exaggerated the benefits and minimized the harms from coronavirus vaccines. The entire bourgeois news industry now works directly for the cartel.

For a while Twitter hosted a thriving conversation where a wide range of critical thinkers posted data and analysis that were better than anything in the mainstream press. But then Jack Dorsey went full Nazi and deplatformed anyone who questioned the Pharma narrative. And Zuckerberg gleefully implemented Stasi-like censorship on Facebook and Instagram because it fulfilled his totalitarian fantasies.

Now the conversation has moved over to Substack and it is extraordinary. The combination of no censorship plus a way for the best writers to monetize their work has led to a flourishing of original reporting and brilliant critique. I am grateful to everyone who has subscribed to my account since I launched a month ago and I am enjoying the intellectual freedom of writing on this site.

I subscribe to 25 accounts. Substack reader (still in beta) organizes posts chronologically in a newsfeed so that one can read them like a newspaper. I want to direct your attention to a handful of accounts that are better than anything in the mainstream press.

https://eugyppius.substack.com/p/a-brief-history-of-lockdowns-part-5fd

Mass containment cannot be enacted at the whims of medical bureaucrats. Not even in China. Nationwide house arrest requires vast popular support, and so it is unsurprising to find that lockdowns and Corona alarmism travel together.

In late January, as the WHO pondered whether to declare a public health emergency, social media filled with videos of people collapsing in the streets of Wuhan. In a curious pattern that we’ll see repeated over and over, these videos were immediately picked up by the press. The world has now witnessed almost 90 million Corona infections. Nowhere in the West has anyone experienced sudden, incapacitating Covid symptoms like these. What is more, all of these videos appeared on or just after 23 January, the exact day that the Chinese locked down Hubei province.

These videos were all fake. They strike us as farcical today, because we have been sold a very different Corona mythology. Our stories are more about how Corona will kill our grandparents, overwhelm our hospitals, reinfect the recovered, and cripple the healthy. They are part of a much different information campaign, and yet they belong to the same
general playbook: First, a government opts into mass containment. Then, alarming information fills the airwaves to justify the restrictions.




The iconic March 2020 cell-phone photograph by Emanuele di Terlizzi, of a military convoy in Bergamo transporting the corpses of Corona victims. One of many curious and well-timed pieces of viral internet content that served to further pandemic hysteria—lending it in an organic, authentic feel.

Wow, the outright fraud in the media is even worse than I suspected.

Yeah, that's not going to work.

It's quite obvious our news media is just propaganda. Their mistake was opening up comments in the first place. I learned more about what was going on in the world reading comments than I would ever get out of reading the article itself. I don't think I'm alone either. When comments disappeared, so did the readership.

In the infrastructure bill the government is pushing though is direct support for our "news" media.

It's always been blatant, people just couldn't accept it.

I watched the "news" media keep calling Ron Paul an "isolationist" and a "racist" for a very long time. I'm just happy more people can recognize what the media really is.

Back in the early naughts (I guess that's what they are) I was so fucking arrogant that I thought journalists didn't know enough about a situation to properly report on it, so I'd try to contact them to correct their "errors". I knew our media lied before sometimes, but I didn't think they ALL did.

They all did and they still all do. That is their job.

Hence the "Misleading" crap on Social Media... What I love about Misleading is that the censors aren't saying the fact is wrong, but the conclusion the writing is drawing from it is "unapproved" - it "leads away" from the Peddled Narrative.

The only result of this is to further destroy the credibility of the media for those that no longer trust it. What is outright censored, IS true. Flat Earther's aren't censored. People like Steve Pieczenik aren't censored. Who is obviously full of crap, but not censored, those are psyops, and not everybody in a psyop realizes they're part of it.

It's honestly a waste of your time to keep ahead of the BS coming from NBC and CBS. The primary point of "mainstream news" is propaganda but secondary, it's to waste your time.

The only reason we talk about transgendered bathrooms and transgendered kids, is because THEY constantly do. Have either of these issues effected you? My bet is they haven't. I am in Silicon Valley, and I remember hearing about BLM and Antifa constantly but it only effected me once in San Jose. It was really a small handful of people running around and making it impossible to drive through the city. I wouldn't say it was more than 100 people. For that, we had national coverage of them.

The media makes small things seem huge, and huge things seem small all the time. For example the "crowds" for Clinton versus "the few fanatics" that showed up for Trump. MSM isn't credible but it still drives the conversation - now mostly about what they are lying about. It doesn't occur to a whole lot of people they are entirely fabricating issues, but they are. They do it all the time. "White nationalist racism" is another example. Does anybody really know any white guy that's really racist?
