The World of MSM and Big Tech
Staying well informed with accurate information has become increasingly challenging, and also increasingly important in these current times. The main stream media and social media has devolved further into Orwellian levels of “thought police” like censorship. They appear to have collectively agreed to maintain a death-grip hold on certain narratives – which they do not like to have challenged. So called “fact checking” is most often not much more than propaganda enforcement. Fear mongering is also a tactic they seem addicted to, as confessed by a CNN director, who openly talks about CNN’s motivation for evoking as much fear as possible relating to the Covid-19 situation, in this clip.
Recent main stream media shenanigans:
CNN caught lying about Omicron deaths
NBC Outrageous Lies About Covid & Child Vax
NY Times Wildly Inflates COVID Numbers For Children
Media Fakes First Omicron Death
We have also all seen the Mockingbird nature of the main stream media networks, all parroting the exact same words of an agreed narrative. This one about the Easter Bunny is particularly amusing.
CNN dropped 68% in viewership in 2021, is a reflection of increasing distrust in CNN as a news source. CNN has also had a long term relationship with Pfizer. Pfizer has also been a sponsor of other mainstream media channels – as also illustrated in this video. Out of all the pharmaceutical companies, Pfizer has had the shadiest past, in paying various fines, including the largest single criminal fine in history. They and others, have already made billions of dollars in profits this past year, with the Covid jabs. It appears the failing effectiveness of the Covid jabs, now creating an ongoing need for boosters, is a familiar perpetuation of the profit-driven Pharma playbook. No wonder, given the extensive level of sponsorships of main stream media, by the Pharma mafia, that media “news” and stories get spun with their paymasters interests as a top priority.
Having already talked about Mikki Willis at some length in a previous blog post, this is a good talk between Mikki and Del Big Tree on the HighWire, about media bias, extreme spin and media lies.
Big Tech platforms Google and You Tube – which are the same company – have held a highly dominant position for a long time. For many people Google is the onramp to the information super-highway, with upwards of 90% of all on-line searches going through Google. Their original statement of “Don’t Be Evil” appears to have flipped significantly in the opposite direction. Robert Epstein a Harvard PhD, and former editor in chief of Psychology Today, launched a lengthy crusade against Google after having personal experience of Google’s divisive tactics. In 2019 he gave testimony before congress. This is another informative talk he has given.
Zach Voorhies, an ex-Google software engineer, blew the whistle on them in 2019, after discovering Google’s Blacklists, where they had terms like “cancer cures” on their black lists. Blacklisted terms would be built into their search algorithms, to censor these topics, in order to make the information difficult to find. False discrediting is another tactic they have employed, particularly more so in the past two years. By placing any of the fifty highly reputable doctor or scientist’s names, given in the acknowledgments at the beginning of Robert F Kenney Jr’s book, into a Google search, would likely show stories of concocted smears of these people.
Looking elsewhere
In order to stay healthy, shopping on the outside perimeter of regular grocery stores, and away from the center aisles containing processed foods, is generally a good idea. Similarly, moving away from the center stream of main stream media, and towards outer lying terrain of independent and alternative media sources, is where more objective and balanced information can be found.
One good news source I have found is SHARYL ATTKISSON’s work, whose reporting comes from a balanced and clear headed perspective. She spent many years as an award winning investigative journalist, working for news networks such as CNN and CBS. She eventually left, after she concluded that true investigative journalism had mostly ceased to exist in the main stream – and started up her own news platform. Her approach is to start from a skeptical position, when looking into a new story, particularly where specific popular statements have been made around a certain narrative. She does also strive to maintain an apolitical view and stance. Her Just the News website & Just The News Podcast
Sharyl’s podcasts can also be found on Spotify: Full Measure After Hours & The Sharyl Attkisson Podcast
A good sample podcast is: “Who are all the bad sources and why is the media still protecting them” – on Apple Play or Spotify
She has also written three book about the divisive tactics of the media world:
Slanted: “How the News Media Taught Us to Love Censorship and Hate Journalism”
The Smear: “How Shady Political Operatives and Fake News Control What You See, What You Think, and How You Vote”
Stonewalled: “My Fight for Truth Against the Forces of Obstruction, Intimidation, and Harassment in Obama’s Washington”
ELEVEN ALTERNATIVE INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM SOURCES are also given on Sharyl Attkisson’s site
THE EPOCH TIMES is another great resources for authentic well researched stories and news
The also have a channel a Television channel Epoch TV
JOE ROGAN’s show, called the The Joe Rogan Show has become an important platform, for his interviewing of various key people who have been censored for speaking the inconvenient truth. His live viewership has now significantly exceeded established news shows. A Jimmy Dore video about this.
The recent long form interviews Joe Rogan did with Dr. Peter McCullough and Dr. Robert Malone are regarded as being two of the most important shows he has done, in providing key revelations about Covid-19. I would highly encourage taking the time to watch both interviews.
Well known Canadian public speaker Jordan Peterson made a recent twitter post commenting on Joe Rogan’s ability as a host and interviewer.
Rogan has also been holding his ground well against detracting forces, and sued CNN in the Fall of 2021.
The tide is turning now, and web search platforms such Duck Duck Go are a much better option for sensitive searches. A number of video based platforms have increasingly been showing up – censorship free – such as: Brighteon, Brand New Tube, Rumble & Bitchute. They also work well, by placing names and phrases into their search field, to find video clips.
In the words of Sharyl Attkisson
