The State Sponsored Media of America

• "All propaganda has to be popular and has to accommodate itself to the comprehension of the least intelligent of those whom it seeks to reach.” ~ Adolf Hitler 

 

      State sponsored media is when the state directly exercises control over editorial content like when White House press secretary Jen Psaki is working for MSNBC giving opinionated interviews on Leftist talk shows even as she stands at the lectern of the White House. Questions about this Psaki refused to answer.

      It is also Karine Jean-Pierre, Joe Biden's new White House Press Secretary, already has people raising questions over ethical concerns to do with her partner being a CNN commentator. Pierre, who took over for Jen Psaki on May 13th, is married to CNN anchor and national correspondent Suzanne Malveaux, who serves as a correspondent to the leftist network CNN. This is one of many examples of the corporate media LITERALLY in bed with the government it covers. 

      Just last year, also on CNN, a conflict of interest stemmed from the scandalous firing of CNN’s Chris Cuomo over his involvement in his brother, Democrat/Socialist Andrew Cuomo’s sexual harassment allegations.

      The term for people who lobby for Democrat policies in this clumsy of a manner is “Democrat activists in the propaganda field,” certainly not reporters, or journalists. They need to be treated as what they are.

      The media have abandoned all pretense of objectivity to become a pro bono ad agency for the progressive movement, infusing left-wing talking points into every issue, from the pandemic to the “cultural revolution.” The war in Ukraine has put the U.S. propaganda machine into overdrive. A machine that was outlawed in 1946.

      Americans who rely on these networks and publications to source their news are receiving so much editorializing that it is blatant propaganda. There is a complete lack of responsibility and ethics, and we need more journalists, on either side of the aisle, to step up. “Truth in journalism,” once a reporter’s credo, is now a relic of a bygone era.

      A free nation cannot long survive when its press takes sides. If forced to absorb the proclamations of these corrupt political actors, Americans should learn to identify the leftist talking points and assumptions in reporter questions and develop a reflexive suspicion toward them, without fail. Assume out of the gate that the narrative these leftists activists are pushing is not true.
