Something journalists refuse to report:

Nearly all the attacks on Asians are being perpetrated in large cities...NYC, SF, Atlanta, and Los Angeles...cities with massive homeless populations...by black homeless men.

I posted that on a local news article in the Facebook comments section. It got about 25 likes including several Asians. But literally zero reporting of that fact.

Another non news coverage I discovered. LA County homeless population is 65,000. City of Los Angeles homeless population is 41,000...2/3 of the total. Yet LA County is 10 million total population and city of LA is 4 million...40% of the total. If you look further, I’d bet anything that Long Beach and Santa Monica have another big chunk of the homeless. And furthermore the chronic homeless population in City of LA has exploded since 2013, coinciding with Eric Garcetti’s election as mayor.

However not one article...not one peep critical of Garcetti. Not anything in the news about City of LA’s failed policies. Garbagecetti just signed a budget with another billion dollars to throw at the homeless problem...$25k per homeless person.

WTF is going on here?!?!?!

Yet Another Media Tale -- Trump Tear-Gassed Protesters For a Church Photo Op -- Collapses

That the White House violently cleared Lafayette Park at Trump's behest was treated as unquestioned truth by most corporate media. Today it was revealed as a falsehood.

I suppose that's one way to stop voter fraud:

Stop a vote from ever happening!

The incident took place May 30 as organizers were collecting signatures to petition for the recall of the San Francisco school board.

There's nothing wrong with posting his opinion and quoting him, but they NEED to CLEARLY tell readers about the HUGE conflict of interest, but instead they clearly intentionally hid it, which is what makes this clearly military industrial complex corruption.

https://reclaimthenet.org/hong-kong-outlet-apple-daily-succumbs-to-the-wrath-of-the-ccp-shuts-down/

The Hong Kong-based pro-democracy news outlet Apple Daily has been forced to shut down after a police raid last week that saw five of its executives arrested. The paper had been under increased scrutiny since last year after the arrest of its owner and Beijing critic Jimmy Lai.

Apple Daily will distribute its last print edition on Thursday. The 26-year-old tabloid will also stop publishing online from midnight June 23, and its website will no longer be accessible from Saturday.

“Thank you to all our readers, subscribers and clients and Hong Kong for 26 years of immense love and support. Here we say goodbye, take care of yourselves,” Apple Daily said in a statement.

The outlet’s demise further raises concerns about freedom of the press, freedom of expression and other rights in the former British colony, which was handed back to Beijing in 1997 and its freedoms have increasingly suffered in China’s grip.

America is halfway to this unfortunate state already.

I’m genuinely surprised the CEO’s and VP’s of these media organizations…not to mention the reporters themselves….haven’t been physically assaulted. Their lies are so egregious that they ought to be considered traitors to the American people. If I was ever to meet one in real life I’d be very hard pressed not to jump on the person and just pummel away.

I’ve always wondered how these people live their lives. I know Chris Cuomo had a very public meltdown where he said he was tired of being yelled at and called a liar in punlic(not enough so to make him change though). I can’t imagine they socialize much or go out in public.

It’s very odd. Normal local media members mix with the hoi polloi. Jim Hill was a long time sports news guy in LA snd it was well known that he hung out at strip clubs, particularly Spearmint Rhino. A few others are very visible. But those guys aren’t really distorting the news. The sports writer from the LA Times for years…TJ Simmmers was an idiot, but he’d respond if you emailed him and again was a very public guy. But now, you never see LA Times reporters anywhere. They should be super visible in the South Bay where the LA Times is now located…and they aren’t. I really don’t understand how people live as hermits, but I think that’s exactly what the media members now do.

Since editors and reporters from outlets other than Fox News and OAN are criminally insane alien agents of the PRC, there is no reason not to shoot them in the face at will. Except that the courts and cops are controlled by Soros. Our only hope is that the next Jan 6 tour of the Capitol lasts for 100 years in which all reporters are dismembered and eaten by patriots' pets and Fox News and OAN take control of all media.

Are you kidding me? FOX is no better than the rest. Find that Weapons of Mass Destruction program in Iraq yet? FOX "news" claimed they did HUNDREDS of times. They are propagandists too.

You know who is in that fucking audience? Our nation's "top journalists". The reason they are LAUGHING is because they knew damned well the weapons of mass destruction program claims of the Bush administration were bullshit - they're laughing people were naive enough to ever fucking believe them. They are professional propagandists.

"Reporters" can no longer tell the difference between journalism and propaganda.

Of course they can.

They're not stupid, they are just propagandists, but it's not like they can be honest and just state outright they are producing propaganda. These people aren't making "mistakes", they are lying.

Media Malpractice in 2021

... In theory, the news media was supposed to inform us so we could be responsible members of a democracy. In fact, the media delivers click-bait sensationalism and 20+ minutes of commercials each hour. On top of that, we have a world of information in our pockets. That was supposed to leave us better informed. Instead, we’re fed corporate propaganda and told what we “need” to buy. I’ve watched the media create the false impression that gun owners in the United States are dangerous. Those media inconsistencies are easy to find.

One obvious example is that the MSM calls a gun a “patrol rifle” or a “personal defense weapon” when a government employee carries it, but they call the same piece of plastic, aluminum, and steel an assault weapon if it is in my wife’s hands. We’re told that a gun is completely ineffective to affect government behavior, and yet the same gun is “much too dangerous” to be left in the hands of honest civilians. It seems the media, and some government officials, want it both ways.

The media’s lies extend beyond the hardware and include the nature of gun owners themselves.

Yes, the media lies to us about who owns guns in the United States. I think I know why. The media stereotyped gun owners for years. They call us old-white-rednecks, yet most new gun owners are women and minorities. For obvious political reasons, the media doesn’t want us to know what today’s gun owners look like. Times change and the media doesn’t want minority women to know that they are the fastest-growing segment of the gun-owning population. In 2020 and 2021, more minority women are curious about guns as they see their friends become gun owners and take training. That is called a preference cascade. The media lies to us so we won’t know what is possible for us. ...

Mass media pummels us with horrific images after a mass murder. They seldom show us the mass murders that were stopped by armed civilians. The media never shows us the good news to the same extent as the bad. One reason is that the media has to sell outrage to capture our attention. The truth is too dull, and outrage is the only way we will sit through 20 minutes of advertisements an hour.

The media tells us about the robbery at the convenience store. The media seldom shows us the story of the armed store clerk who chased away the two robbers late at night by himself. The media should give us a sense of proportion. Instead, the media feeds us sensationalized headlines. Each year, we defend ourselves millions of times with a firearm while dozens of us become the victim in a mass murder. You’d never know that from the media coverage. The media doesn’t want us to know that most robbers would rather run than get shot. That story doesn’t fit the biased narrative that the media is trying to sell.

Media bias against honest gun owners is fueled by both the preferences of the advertisers and by the political bias of the news editors. We can blame a failure of imagination on their part. They can’t recognize when guns save lives. Our social elites simply can’t imagine defending themselves, so they are blind to it. Self-defense never happens according to their view of the world. When it comes to personal safety, that is what they pay the private security guards at their condo to take care of. That is why their office has a security guard at the front door. If you wanted protection, then you’d do what they do and live where they live.. or so they think.

Since they can’t imagine protecting themselves, they think guns ought to be outlawed. They can’t admit that licensed gun owners who concealed carry are more law-abiding and non-violent than the police. It is outside their experience, and we might as well tell them that gun owners are from the moon.

Before we gun owners feel special, the elites don’t know people who own a pickup truck either. The news is corrupted by the personal and corporate bias of the news organizations. That would be of academic interest, except the media’s bias is getting our children killed.

The media elites ignore that mass murders usually occur where guns are banned. Mass murderers deliberately attack us where you and I are disarmed. We are disarmed in “gun-free” zones because we obey the law. From the media point of view, more disarmed civilians mean more stories of mass murder and more commercials for auto insurance. What is worse is that there were over 80 copycat murder plots after the mass murder at the high school in Columbine, Colorado.

These murderers said, in effect,
“I want to have may face and my name in the news. I want everyone to know who I was.
“I want the same multi-million dollar publicity campaign that the media gave the last mass murderer.”

and the media was only too eager to give them what they wanted.
We had to coin a new term to describe this media phenomenon; it is called “celebrity murder-suicide”. The media lies to make money and they lie to feel good about themselves, when in fact, they help drive the mass murder that gets us killed.

Americans trust media the least, globally.

Gee, I wonder if it could have something to do with the continuous lying in American media.

Or maybe it's just the relentless and ridiculous level of partisan bias in American reporting.

Or maybe it was four years of tantrums and pants-wetting after the American people elected Trump to resist the collusion of the deep state with global corporations.

Maybe it's one of those. Or all of them.

My fellow Americans are waking up.

My enthusiasm to line up for an untold number of boosters as a young, healthy person is still pretty dang low because, well, the testing of scientific hypotheses and the data from the last 18 months.

That's not gonna stop the totally-real journalists at CNN from telling you what's what, even if it goes against the U.S. Surgeon General!
US Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy repeated that point Wednesday morning, telling CNN's Poppy Harlow, "People do not need to go out and get a booster shot."

https://www.jonathan-cook.net/blog/2021-07-30/craig-murrays-jailing-is-the-latest-move-in-the-battle-to-snuff-out-independent-journalism/

If you are an unapproved, uncredentialed journalist, you can be jailed, as Murray is being, on a similar legal basis to the imprisonment of someone who carries out a surgical operation without the necessary qualifications. But whereas the law against charlatan surgeons is there to protect the public, to stop unnecessary harm being inflicted on the sick, Lady Dorrian’s ruling will serve a very different purpose: to protect the state from the harm caused by the exposure of its secret or most malign practices by trouble-making, sceptical – and now largely independent – journalists.

Journalism is being corralled back into the exclusive control of the state and billionaire-owned corporations. It may not be surprising that corporate journalists, keen to hold on to their jobs, are consenting through their silence to this all-out assault on journalism and free speech. After all, this is a kind of protectionism – additional job security – for journalists employed by a corporate media that has no real intention to challenge the powerful.
