Editorialising is unprofessional. E.g. You never see a newspaper article saying that the Taliban are arseholes.
 

How to Disarm Propaganda – Mark Crispin Miller on #SolutionsWatch | The Corbett Report

www.corbettreport.com www.corbettreport.com

Can put it on 1.5 speed. They discuss ways to identify and dissect propaganda, as well as how to help others to see through common propaganda techniques.

"When you call someone a conspiracy theorist, they've lost the argument already. Becasue they really don't want us having, the argument, hearing the argument. They want us compliant, in lockstep compliant and credulous. Propaganda does not want an argument. Propaganda wants to move us at a sub rational level, to sway not persuade us.

Since the arrival of effective propaganda since WW1, the masters of propaganda have discovered a broad range of extremely sophisticated devices to affect us neurologically. They don't want us thinking, just jerking in response like a lot of zombies primarily controlled by fear and anger."

As public anger grew over gruesome and medically useless dog experiments funded by Fauci's agencies and budgets, his media allies came to the rescue with a pack of lies.

Live links in the thread.

What happened here is fascinating: Fauci's agencies have funded *thousands* of gruesome dog experiments. To discredit this, the WPost and others focused on *one*: a particularly hideous one where the researchers said they had NIAID $$, then retracted that when public anger grew:

But the indisputable reality is that Fauci has been overseeing these hideous experiments for years. He had his media allies accuse those of us reporting it of a disinformation campaign, while NIH director Francis Collins threatened *punishment* for those reporting on this.

That the US Govt abuses taxpayer funds to conduct morally reprehensible experiments on dogs is a major story. But now, so is the media's campaign to -- yet again -- accuse those doing accurate reporting of "disinformation," when the ones lying are them.

Here's the segment I did last night on Fox on how Facui's media allies like the WPost spent years praising @WhiteCoastWaste as a rare success story uniting left and right around a noble cause, but now are suddenly trashing them with lies to shield Fauci:

Documents Show Bill Gates Has Given $319 Million to Media Outlets.

https://www.organicconsumers.org/ne...ill-gates-has-given-319-million-media-outlets

Up until his recent messy divorce, Bill Gates enjoyed something of a free pass in corporate media. Generally presented as a kindly nerd who wants to save the world, the Microsoft co-founder was even unironically christened “Saint Bill” by The Guardian.

MintPress can reveal that the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) has made over $300 million worth of donations to fund media projects.

Recipients of this cash include many of America’s most important news outlets, including CNN, NBC, NPR, PBS and The Atlantic. Gates also sponsors a myriad of influential foreign organizations, including the BBC, The Guardian, The Financial Times and The Daily Telegraph in the United Kingdom; prominent European newspapers such as Le Monde (France), Der Spiegel (Germany) and El País (Spain); as well as big global broadcasters like Al-Jazeera.

The press are hardly going to be critical or delve too deeply into an individual who is a benefactor, I'm sure Bill wants nothing in return.

On another note does anyone find it strange that the Gates Foundation which is supposedly a benevolent charity funnels/donates money to media organisations?
 
An example of great reporting. The truth is coming out in the media slowly. Of course we will have posters deny this

Opinion | How Fauci and Collins Shut Down Covid Debate

They worked with the media to trash the Great Barrington Declaration.
www.wsj.com www.wsj.com

In public, Anthony Fauci and Francis Collins urge Americans to “follow the science.” In private, the two sainted public-health officials schemed to quash dissenting views from top scientists. That’s the troubling but fair conclusion from emails obtained recently via the Freedom of Information Act by the American Institute for Economic Research.

The tale unfolded in October 2020 after the launch of the Great Barrington Declaration against blanket pandemic lockdowns. They favored a policy of what they called “focused protection” of high-risk populations such as the elderly or those with medical conditions (currently 870,000 signatures including 60,000 physicians and scientists).

That didn’t please the lockdown consensus enforced by public-health officials and the press. Dr. Collins, the director of the National Institutes of Health until Sunday, sent an email on Oct. 8, 2020, to Dr. Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

“This proposal from the three fringe epidemiologists . . . seems to be getting a lot of attention – and even a co-signature from Nobel Prize winner Mike Leavitt at Stanford. There needs to be a quick and devastating published take down of its premises,” Dr. Collins wrote. “Is it underway?”

These researchers weren’t fringe and neither was their opposition to quarantining society. But in the panic over the virus, these two voices of science used their authority to stigmatize dissenters and crush debate. A week after his email, Dr. Collins spoke to the Washington Post about the Great Barrington Declaration. “This is a fringe component of epidemiology,” he said. “This is not mainstream science. It’s dangerous.” His message spread and the alternative strategy was dismissed in most precincts.

Dr. Fauci replied to Dr. Collins that the takedown was underway.

The emails suggest a feedback loop: The media cited Dr. Fauci as an unquestionable authority, and Dr. Fauci got his talking points from the media. Facebook censored mentions of the Great Barrington Declaration. This is how groupthink works.

On CBS last month, Dr. Fauci said Republicans who criticize him are “really criticizing science, because I represent science. That’s dangerous.”

He isn’t “science.” And it’s also dangerous for scientific officials to mobilize to quash dissent, without which it’s easy to make tragic mistakes. A scientific debate over pandemic policy was and still is in the public interest, especially during a once-in-a-century plague.

Focused protection of nursing homes and other high-risk populations remains the policy road not taken during the pandemic. Perhaps this strategy wouldn’t have prevailed if a debate had been allowed.

Rather than try to manipulate public opinion, the job of health officials is to offer their best scientific advice. They shouldn’t act like politicians or censors, and when they do, they squander the public’s trust.
