U.S. — After John Durham's newly released report confirmed the Trump-Russia collusion narrative was entirely fabricated, several notable media figures admitted they lied to the American people for 3 years but promised that they're totally telling the truth about everything else.

"I would never lie to the American people. Except for that one time. That doesn't count," said CBS News Anchor Scott Pelley. "Just look at how serious and trustworthy my face is. Look at my sincere gaze as I stare soulfully into the camera and deliver my prepared lines with the gravitas of a real truth-teller. Come on!"

"You can still trust us," agreed CNN Anchor and part-time anonymous message board foot model Jake Tapper. "Even though we divided the country in hatred and anger for three years to try to destroy Trump over a false narrative, and then continued to do so even after we found out it was fake, and then insulted the intelligence of everyone who was skeptical about what we were saying, it doesn't mean we would ever lie to you or anything."

Media-approved anonymous sources claim that 10 out of 10 media experts agree that in spite of the lies about Trump and Russia, Americans should still unquestionably believe every claim the media makes about Ukraine, COVID, domestic terrorism, the 2020 election, and who is a racist and who isn't.

At publishing time, Joy Reid also chimed in, saying everyone who doesn't agree with her is a racist.

In the early hours on Saturday, government-affiliated reporters labeled the Wagnerian dustup a Russian “Civil War.” The Atlantic ran one of my favorites of the headlines, which by no means was the only one:




Russia didn’t slide into Civil War very far! ...

The New York Times, which on Saturday ran no fewer than SEVEN separate top-of-fold stories celebrating Putin’s imminent fall, any second now, was reluctantly forced by the rough pace of current events to display a much more muted tone this morning:




Uh oh. I guess the Weekend Civil War didn’t really help Ukraine that much. The Times’ sub-headline, above, glumly admitted, “The Ukrainian Army is encountering an array of challenges.” An array! An “array of challenges” is even worse than just regular challenges.

If the Times admitted THAT, you know it’s got to be BAD. The best news that diligent Times reporters could scrape together was the alliterative headline suggesting “Ukraine COULD Capitalize on Chaos,” maybe, who knows, plus a 12-minute audio podcast where some talking head opined about “How the Wagner revolt challenges Putin’s power.”

But does it, though?

Now begins the great face-saving, the re-spinning, the narrative un-weaving, the shucking-and-jiving by all the corporate media reporters and expert shills who on Saturday ran with hot takes that the situation in Russia was REALLY SERIOUS and Putin was teetering on the brink of finally being deposed by the brave, democracy-loving, freedom-fighting Wagner forces (freedom fighters who were long labeled as war criminals, as of Thursday afternoon at least, but never mind, they would again be war criminals by late Sunday afternoon). ...

So, we’ll keep waiting to find some clarity, and in the meanwhile enjoy corporate media mocking itself.

Our media is a laughingstock. You literally can’t believe anything they say these days. I feel like we should apologize to the Russians for mocking their Soviet-era newspaper ‘Pravda’ back in the day. Now we know what it feels like.

Russian President Putin gave a speech yesterday about the uprising. As usual it was credible and coherent. Unlike someone else’s speeches, but I digress. I’ll link it (it’s not too long), not because I “love Putin” but because our corporate media won’t print a single word.

Honestly, it baffles me that, after building Putin up into the ONE REASON for this entire conflict, our media proceeds to black out everything the man has to say about it. How can they possibly justify that? If everything Putin says is a lie, expose him as a liar every time he talks. The media’s ONE JOB is to inform us about newsworthy events, not carefully curate the information we are exposed to so that we won’t think wrong.

It’s a time of war and the government-controlled media is deliberately deceiving us. That’s arguably treason. ...

I have a modest proposal. How about this? How about we end the era of the state secret. Maybe we need to decide, once and for all, that a huge undercover secret government military-industrial apparatus is antithetical to a ‘small-R’ republican form of government.

Look at it this way — we gave it a solid try, but it didn’t work out. Let’s move on.
