Fake News!

 

Exposing the gaslighting.

The First Amendment states that the government shall make no law abridging the freedom of the press. It confers to the press a function vital to the defense of democracy. Our founders knew full well that a free press is essential to inform the people and to hold the powerful accountable. President Franklin D. Roosevelt (D) also realized this and said, “Freedom of the press is essential to the preservation of a democracy; but there is a difference between freedom and license. Editorialists who tell downright lies in order to advance their own agendas do more to discredit the press than all the censors in the world.” It is no longer just editorialists that take license with their reporting. Much of the mainstream media, and much of social media, have abandoned any obligation to champion the truth, instead choose to propagandize a leftist narrative. They engage in gaslighting the public with lies and innuendo to bolster their chosen narrative. In other words, they “report” only what they want you to hear and believe.

We need to trust what is reported from mainstream news sources. They have a responsibility to approach news reporting as would a fiduciary that puts the client’s interests first. Media has swung so far to the left that is almost comical when each network appears to be reading from the same script. Journalism requires impartiality and objectivity. Personal or political bias cannot influence reporting, either by omission or commission. Once journalism is unduly predisposed to create a narrative to further a personal or political end, all credibility is lost. Fake News is a reality and the lies they advance has indelibly damaged their integrity. Legacy media has lost any trust they may have had with the people they are charged to serve.

The incessant and deliberate negative reporting regarding President-elect Trump should have any semi-intelligent person questioning the veracity and sanity of those news outlets. Continual downplaying or ignoring any democrat misdeed or ethical issue is so readily apparent for those not afflicted with blind partisan ideology. The cover-up of Joe Biden’s mental decline has been borderline criminal. Boosting Kamala Harris as presumptive democrat Presidential nominee only weeks after questioning her ability to remain on the Biden/Harris ticket was staggeringly outrageous. Yet over 70 million fell for the lies and voted for her. “Truth is relative. Truth is what you can make the voter believe is the truth. If you're smart enough, truth is what you make the voter think it is. That's why I'm a Democrat. I can make the Democratic voters think whatever I want them to.” James Carville-democrat strategist. Softball interview after softball interview only revealed Harris’ utter lack of ability to articulate any policy initiative that would benefit the nation. Thankfully, a majority of voters recognized this, and Harris will fade into ignominy after January 20^th.

The First Amendment allows news organizations broad protections from retribution from the powerful when reporting the news. It also allows them to hide behind those protections. The Biden administration attempted to censor some of the major social media platforms by using a direct connection to the FBI. The FBI attempted to manipulate, what they deemed “misinformation” (anything conservative or Christian) by flagging those posts and requesting them to be removed. Most of those requests were complied with by the platforms. Additionally, a Ministry of Truth was actually in place before leaks about it caused its implementation to be “delayed”. Sound a bit like Nazi Germany? Sound like a direct affront to the First Amendment that charges the government to make no law abridging free speech? Sound like something out of George Orwell’s 1984 or Animal Farm?

Cronyism, subjectiveness, and deceitfulness currently are the calling cards of the legacy media. They loudly decry MAGA, Christianity, police, and traditional values. They support transgenderism, LGTBQ+, illegal immigration, and lawlessness. People are beginning to wake up and see that they are being used, and the people are rejecting the gaslighting. MSNBC will likely be reorganized or terminated after Comcast ended their relationship with that outlet. CNN is losing over 40% of its market share. CBS, ABC, and NBC are hemorrhaging viewers. The New York Times and Washington Post are losing $Millions. People are going elsewhere for their news, to outlets the legacy media decry as pushing misinformation. Well, maybe the alternate media is reporting what mainstream outlets should be reporting. If the legacy media fails to wake up, they will fail to survive. And that may not be a bad thing!

Truth, or Dare?

 

Time to get real

What once was a kid’s game has evolved into something it was never intended to be. No longer is this a game played among giggling young people, it has become a twisted reality as the Biden administration continues to blur the boundaries of governing and rank partisanship. This great nation, built upon the rule of law and the trustworthiness of a fair and impartial government, is failing its’ citizenry by abandoning the independence necessary to maintain a Constitutional Republic. Democrats that seized the majority in the House, Senate and the Presidency have determined that half of the country is a threat to their idea of democracy. With that determination, the full power and authority of federal law enforcement has been unleashed against those in which they disagree. What once was a government of, by and for the people, has turned the rule of law upside down, using it as a cudgel to strike at their political opponents. A willing and compliant media parrots Democrat talking points in unison, failing to uphold its’ responsibility to hold the powerful accountable, unless the powerful just happen to be Republican.

Our divider in chief, President Joseph R. Biden rails against half of the US population and declares them semi-fascists. Those that respect the law, support accepted societal norms, challenge the insane “wokeism” that is infiltrating education, the military and society in general stand accused by our President and Democrat leaders as malevolent and immoral, while they offer tacit support for violent Marxists like Antifa and Black Lives Matter. Riots, looting and burning throughout the summer of 2020 were viewed as mostly peaceful, seldom prosecuted and our current Vice-President Kamala Harris championed funding to bail out jailed rioters. While many of the January 6^th protesters should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, many have been languishing in prison for over a year, with their due process rights violated. No matter the crime, everyone must be afforded the Constitutional right to a speedy trial, access to appropriate legal representation and incarceration that is reasonable and humane.

Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, was reckless with real-time, classified and top-secret information, kept on an unsecure, non-government server. Congressional subpoenaed documents were deleted and destroyed. She was never prosecuted nor served with a search warrant. The Director of the FBI, James Comey, closed the investigation when he declared that no reasonable prosecutor would issue charges. Presidential records, kept under lock and key, guarded by Secret Service agents, necessitated the execution of an unprecedented search warrant at the home of former President Trump to retrieve documents held there since January 2021.

Hunter Biden left his lap-top computer at a Delaware computer repair shop. It contained evidence of potential criminal activity by the Biden family. The FBI seized the lap-top in 2019, but did no further investigation. The FBI not only ignored evidence; it sent agents to warn social media companies of a potential dump of Russian mis-information. When the New York Post obtained a copy of the hard-drive and reported on the troubling information, they were de-platformed from social media. Mainstream media refuted the validity of the report and 51 former national security officials denounced it as Russian propaganda. This quickly became the narrative of the mainstream media. 18 months later, the lap-top is verified as Hunter Biden’s, but again the media quickly buries the story.

There is building evidence of a troubling pattern of behavior by our government. Our nation’s judicial system cannot properly serve the citizens if it is biased. The rule of law guides the actions, determines whether a crime has been committed and adjudicates the process fairly and without prejudice. The government is again, picking winners and losers, but this time based solely upon political affiliation. Ignore a Democrat’s transgressions, throw the hammer at any Republican that offends their sensibilities. And, at all costs, keep Donald Trump from ever holding office again.

Truth is that the Democrat leaders are driving this nation off a cliff, not only economically, but by tearing apart the social fabric of our society. They will dismantle this nation in order to achieve their goal of a new liberal world order. Democrats are daring the public to stop this insanity. They believe that you cannot. You do have the power to begin to take back this nation when you cast your vote this November. Or will you stand by and allow the Democrats to fundamentally transform this nation?
