TRUMP TO DEPORT VIETNAMESE REFUGEES-THE ATLANTIC
FBI OBTAINS WIRETAP OF PUTIN ALLY MEETING WITH TRUMP JR-BUSINESS INSIDER
SEVEN YR OLD GIRL WHO DIED AT BORDER DID NOT RECEIVE MEDICAL CARE FOR 90 MINUTES-NBC NEWS
These are just a few of the headlines that have appeared in news outlets over the past couple of weeks. Not a single one of them are true. In fact if you read the entirety of these articles a pattern begins to emerge. A pattern that seems to be working to further the purposeful misinformation of the American public.
It afflicts us all. Just the other day I was snookered by a fake Waylon Jennings story. If a vigilant radio host and writer like myself can be bamboozled, just imagined how easy it is for the average John or Jane Q taxpayer?
Reporters, or wire services (I know, dating myself) are regurgitating what they are told to and or copying from. Editors keen on the knowledge that most Americans today have an MTV attention span will bury the truthful aspects of any story on the back page (again, dating myself). However, considering that actual 'print' news is fading fast and 'column inches' no longer apply Editors must employ a new tactic in the age of internet news.
I had an epiphany while reading the three articles I posted above. Even though I have known the slants and agendas of Leftist Media for most of my life and as much as I have mentioned on my show that the media openly lies to you it took me a bit to figure out HOW and WHY the American public is so easily mislead.
The How
Virtually every one of the three articles above follow the same formula. 1; The headline has nothing to do with the actual article. The headline is designed to grab you. Most readers just peruse headlines anyway. There is no want of opinions on social media based solely on a headline alone. 2; The article itself (lets break it up into 3rds) is designed to wear you out so you have no desire to finish reading it. The first 3rd just keeps repeating the narrative in various paragraphs only it mixes up the wording of the sentences. (ie; Trump Russian collusion, the ongoing investigation into Russian collusion, revelations into the ongoing Mueller investigation on collusion, etc, etc). After a few paragraphs the reader gets fed up and has had enough. Thus the reinforcement of a false narrative is firmly implanted in the reader's mind. 3; In the second 3rd the writer will quote sources backing up the first 3rd of the article or the headline itself. As we have seen most of these 'sources' are always 'anonymous' yet somehow deep within the Administration. They may actually quote a reliable source but even that quote is just some one's opinion. Toss in a prestigious title of that source, or claim they are an 'expert' and it lends the illusion of legitimacy. 4; The final 3rd will contain the actual facts of the story. In many case I have discovered the facts are at the very end of the article but by this time the reader has been convinced and has moved on never realizing the truth.
Politicians are masters at this formula. They are firmly aware the American public can be convinced of anything if the media says it is so. They are assured the vast majority will not do any kind of fact checking or research into any opposing information. Those that do are easily marginalized by a phalanx of media false narratives and driven agendas. This is why over 46% of Americans actually believe Trump colluded with the Russians to steal the 2016 election despite zero evidence.
In that fantastic press event with Pelosi and Schumer we saw exactly how manipulation of information is key to driving an agenda. Nancy claimed transparency but wanted the press out of the room. Chuck quoted WaPo as his go to source for the 'Pinocchios'.
That's like asking Bill Clinton how to behave on a date.
But Trump is far more intelligent than the two of them combined. Hell, my cat is far more intelligent than the two of them combined but I digress.
The standard Modus Operandi is to go before the media after the closed door meeting to spin the narrative as they wish. Trump sidelined them with a smack down live on national television. It was epic Trump!
Sensational headlines have been around ever since the birth of print media. Benjamin Franklin was very good at penning a title that drew in his readers. Headlines through history have even taken us to war. REMEMBER THE MAINE! JAPS BOMB PEARL HARBOR! Just to name a few. But at least these had a modicum of truth to them and the reader became somewhat informed. It was also a different time and people spent more time becoming more informed. That is no longer the case. Headlines today have nothing to do with the content.
The Why
During the roll out of Obamacare several media executives and anchors were summoned to the White House for a closed door meeting. There is no recording of that meeting but speculation was abound. In the weeks to follow it became apparent. The media was tasked to sell Obamacare to the public. Slick adds on social media and television popped up every day. Regardless of the fact that companies were going belly up because they could not compete with the new mandates, regardless that doctors dropped out by the hundreds, emergency rooms crowded with the uninsured and illegals (Joe Wilson was correct), premiums rising by 100%; the narrative was The Affordable Care Act is the panacea to solve our nation's healthcare woes.
Well, we all know how that turned out.
The purpose was to sell a shitty plan to a duped demographic. Who better to sell it than the very arbiters of mass misinformation? President Obama never thought of hiring Madison Avenue because he is a Socialist and he does not believe in Capitalism. Besides advertising companies are bound by the "truth in advertising laws". The media isn't. Media does NOT to tell you the truth. It tells you what to think.
It panders in groupthink. The methodology bolsters this and any deviation from that methodology is tantamount to heresy.
" IN A WORLD OF UNIVERSAL DECEIT TELLING THE TRUTH BECOMES A REVOLUTIONARY ACT". ORWELL
And ignorant we are. As I have said in a past blog people are relying more on personal feelings about issues rather than an objective analysis. While a constant objectivity leaves one heartless, a constant passionate interpretation leaves one an emotional basket case. But given the reduction of critical thinking required of an educated society that balance of passion and objective analysis has disappeared. Lack of understanding and knowledge reduces mankind to suspicion, doubt and constant negativity about everything.
The Kavanaugh Hearings were a perfect storm of emotions and misinformation. An entire media circus was created around a fake story. An entire nation was consumed by manufactured agit-prop from the screaming women clawing at the doors of the Supreme Court to the 15 minutes of fame "we believe survivors' nonsense.
Not one single aspect of that story was true.
But here is why media pushed the Blasey Ford story forward.
On the same day Sen. Feinstein whipped out a week old letter gathering dust in her top drawer of political tricks Lisa Page was before a closed door session of The House Judiciary Comm. testifying on the Russian Collusion hoax. She basically spilled the beans that the whole thing was made up. There was no evidence. But the FBI went ahead with the story anyways. In fact the real truth circled back to Hillary and that damned E-mail server!
"...Former FBI attorney Lisa Page has reportedly told a joint committee of the House of Representatives that when FBI counterintelligence official Peter Strzok texted her on May 19, 2017 saying there was “no big there there,” he meant there was no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. .."

Had this garnered the same media attention as the Kavanaugh Rape-gate scandal we would be discussing a much different topic here.
But it did not. It could not. It could not be allowed the same spotlight. It was counter to the narrative that Trump stole the election with the help of Putin. Page (and eventually Blasey Ford) would end up as 'useful idiots' used by Leftist media for its own purposes. The public being no wiser.

Christine Blasey Ford has since publicly stated the Kavanaugh accusation was entirely made up.
The Result
So you have multiple examples of completely false stories almost back to back since the Trump Inauguration. Approximately every ten days to two weeks a new story comes out with Trump being accused of... Oh hell, pick one.
What is fascinating is the ability of the media to convince an entire segment of society that no matter what they slooge out Leftists will swallow it down like a crack whore short on cash regardless of the facts. Even when the story is proven false, the damage is done and the narrative has been firmly implanted.
And the stories don't stop! Cohen, the Inauguration itself, Melania's Christmas decoration costs are now being investigated. Trump farted, the sun went behind a cloud during a press briefing.. Anything! Make anything stick!
Or, at least throw so much bullshit out there the stink alone will drive the public against him.
Nor is there any consistency. What is said by a news outlet a year ago will be polar opposite of what they say a year later. And the public believes whatever it is they are reading/hearing at that moment. It manifests itself everywhere. Coffee is bad for you, coffee is good for you, eggs cause cholesterol, eggs don't cause cholesterol, the planet is cooling, the planet is warming, etc, etc.
This is how you get people like this:

These people are never held accountable because Leftism demands an unwavering lock step to whatever the party line is at the time. Republicans are just as guilty. When pressed the stammering and back pedaling is really quite acrobatic at times.
"... Fox News’ Bret Baier asked Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) on Wednesday why he supported funding an $18-billion border wall in 2013 but is opposed to the $5-billion border wall President Trump has asked Congress to fund.... “I think border security is enormously important, but I think building a wall is a very costly and inefficient way to do that,” Sanders said. “And I’m not alone. I mean, many experts think that given the kind of technology that we have today, we can protect our southern border without building the wall and spending $5 billion.”
“Yes. And senator, in 2013 you voted for comprehensive immigration that included $18 billion for a wall in border security,” Baier interjected.
Baier then asked Sanders why the $5 billion is a nonstarter for him.
“Well, I’m saying that you have $5 billion as part of tens of billions more for a wall. What I’m saying right now, sometimes you vote for things that are part of a broad package,” Sanders said, before changing topics..."

Proving once again, politicians DO NOT read the legislation they pass. But that isn't the point. In 2013 every one who was ga-ga over Sanders were totally on board with anything he said and did. In 2016 everyone who was ga-ga over Sanders flocked to his campaign. In 2018 he can fumble the fucking ball on national television and no one gives a shit.
Consequences
The Boy Scouts of America (BSA) was inspired by and modeled on the Boy Scout Association, established by Baden-Powell in Britain in 1908.
"...Baden-Powell’s idea was that boys should organize themselves into small natural subgroups of six or seven under a boy leader—the patrol and patrol leader. Their training would consist of such things as tracking and reconnaissance, mapping, signaling, knotting, first aid, and all the skills that arise from camping and similar outdoor activities. To become a scout, a boy would promise to be loyal to his country, help other people, and in general obey the scout law, itself a simple code of chivalrous behaviour easily understood by the boy... " Encyclopedia Britannica
In 2018 BSA was filing bankruptcy.
Traditional American organizations, families, value systems, religious participation has practically collapsed. States are becoming 'sanctuaries' for illegal aliens with the elected officials jumping on board for their own political expediency. Everywhere you look churches are flying the rainbow flag of the gay community.
Society is polarized politically. The tangible hatred of our President is disturbingly omnipresent. The ability to convince 50% of voters to follow lockstep into the abyss of Socialism is secure despite the fact that Europe and Venezuela are collapsing under it. The #walkaway movement is growing and (like Islam) those that leave the fold are threatened, ostracized and ridiculed. In Europe mass protests have swept the continent with millions wearing yellow vest and demanding an end to high taxes, rule from Brussels and a return of Nationalism.
In the meantime media continues it's downward spiral of spin doubling down on the false narratives.
A few days ago Tucker Carlson was excoriated by the Left for his report on the migrants camped out in Tijuana. Twice he interviewed Genaro Lopez a Delegate from that city. The report centered around what actually was going on now that the migrants have arrived. As I have said on my show many times, the city is trashed. Piles of trash, people defecating in the streets, drunk and drugged out people and now homes and businesses are being robbed.
Not exactly the picture of immigration we are all told about is it?
And that is where media reared it's ugly head. The report painted a 'negative impression' of immigrants went the axiom. Tucker's use of the words, 'poorer' and 'dirtier' became the focus of the outrage. So, Tucker doubled down and interviewed Genaro Lopez again and to no one's surprise the situation in Tijuana has deteriorated. In fact Tucker mentioned an interesting website that is helping to tackle a problem that comes with unfettered illegal migration. The trash.
A project called Arizona Border Trash azbordertrash.gov documents the amount of trash left along the trails in the southwest desert.. The AZ Dept. of Environmental Quality estimates the average illegal deposits 6-8 lbs. of trash as they cross the AZ desert. This affects a very sensitive ecosystem and the consequences can be seen for hundreds of miles. This trail of trash can be found on private property as well as preservation areas held by the state or Federal Gov't.
It makes one wonder about the validity of the argument that building a wall will damage sensitive ecosystems or that it will cross private property.
Really?
I would gladly give my property for the wall if it would stop this madness.
Finally, as we near another Gov't shutdown the false narratives are being whipped up like a cotton candy machine with everybody lining up for a sample. The President has firmly said he will "own" this shutdown. Absolutely brilliant! Classic Donald J!
The Democrats have no idea they are being played. Sen. Schumer even said today (12/21), "..Mr. President, you will not get your wall..". Affectively, the Democrats have literally told the nation they do not want to keep the American public safe. They have abrogated the very Oath they take and the first rule of any elected official to protect the nation from all enemies foreign and domestic.
The false narrative is that support for the President is only 1/4 of the nation. His approval rating is holding steady at 45-48% (depending on what poll). His support of registered Republican women is at 93% with an overall Republican rating of 75%. If the Left wants to blame Rush Limbaugh as Trump's only go to source for advice and information he would be wise to do so. According to Pew Research and Media Research Center Limbaugh holds at 99% accuracy rate for his analysis. Are Leftists willing to say that an audience of 27 million listeners are delusional? Well, considering the 65 million who voted for Trump are a "basket of deplorables" I would say they are willing to. Is fulfilling as many promises Candidate Trump made being carried out an example of partisan ship? No. Trump is not a partisan. He isn't even a politician.
Ask yourself, when was the last time a Presidential Candidate actually followed through on their promises?
So, go ahead CNN, lie all you want.
Oh, and by the way Chucky? It is NOT the President's wall. It is our national security.
.... And That Is The Diatribe....
