Media's Propaganda Exposed For All To See

      Today, there exists only a handful of major mainstream media networks, and they are all controlled by a very small group of corporations and it's mostly the Leftist elite that run them. Think about that: 90-95% of the information we see is given to us by them, and nobody else. But, perhaps the most alarming fact is that mainstream media networks are paid and used by the corporate, political, and intelligence world. They are sold stories, and present fake narratives on various global events to advance their agendas.

      It’s so easy for mainstream media to persuade the minds of the public. By simply making statements, with no sources or evidence cited (for the people to examine for themselves) and having government and ex-government officials back them, the masses consider it as fact. The best example is this whole Russian collusion propaganda campaign, where the US elite are blaming Russia for a rigged election that defeated their hand-picked candidate. 

 

      The Mueller report has destroyed that lie but rather than face the facts, after a momentary pause, the media chose to come back with spite. With egg still dripping from their faces the Democrat supporting media, (Democrats frequently fall back on the media to cover for their failures) had pinned their success in the 2020 election on the President being guilty, took matters further than their Russian propaganda ever did by inventing conspiracy theories about the attorney general, his assistants, and even “their own” Robert Mueller. They also pointed the finger at alternative media outlets who were reporting the facts with unbiased opinions, calling them fake news reporters.           

 

       For years corporate media has come under fire for their work with the world’s elite to provide slanted information that keeps Americans in the dark. They took matters much further this time with their Russian collusion propaganda. They have done this by network anchors offering breathless editorial declarations that are not supported by available facts, by promiscuously sharing absurdities dressed up as important revelations, and by having mainstream media figures use dishonestly imprecise language that propagates conspiracy theories.

        But these have been mere tools to ensure the truth does not come out but rather a narrative that fits the corporate elite’s agenda. In a recent interview former journalist Ted Koppel stated, “I’m terribly concerned that when you talk about the New York Times these days, when you talk about the Washington Post these days, we’re not talking about the New York Times of 50 years ago. We are not talking about the Washington Post of 50 years ago,” he said. “We’re talking about organizations that I believe have, in fact, decided as organizations that Donald J. Trump is bad for the United States.”

       For years we’ve relied on mainstream media, but more people are starting to realize that it cannot be trusted. The global corporate media has become a tool of deception and misinformation, and many still have yet to wake from our slumber and realize that this source of ‘information’ is simply an elite owned tool meant to push an agenda that has little to do with public interest. Propaganda is about presenting facts and information selectively so that the message elicits an emotional response. “We have things appearing on the front page of the New York Times right now that never would have appeared 50 years ago. Analysis, commentary (not news) on the front page,” said Koppel. “So his perception that the establishment press is out to get him…he’s not mistaken in that perception, and he’s not mistaken when so many of the liberal media, for example, described themselves as belonging to the Resistance.” 

 

       The resistance to what – America? - Rule of Law? - The Constitution? - A legitimate election result? Welcome to the world of Western mainstream media, where we are constantly given viewpoints that contradict. This is what the western media does: They create a lie, spread a lie, fail to check the lie and then deny that they were behind the lie. America’s “so-called” enemy, Vladamir Putin, called out Western propaganda, referring to mainstream media, again emphasizing that he would like to have “such a propaganda machine” there in Russia, and that they “have not even global mass media outlets of the likes of CNN, BBC and others.” Russia “simply does not have this kind of capability.”

 No, but the West does.
