[Brian Peacock]

Oh, that kind of left. The not-right left.

[JimC]

Just the faintest tinge of pink. Mustn't frighten the punters...

The Cunt left.

Dr. Birx is impressive here. Fox, not so much.

[Brian Peacock]

Well, someone's still managing to keep up with their botox regime at least.

[Sean Hayden]

She's a judge Brian! A judge!

[JimC]

But how does she have time, in between cooking, cleaning and ironing?

The Murdoch media’s China coronavirus conspiracy has one aim: get Trump re-elected

News Corp is campaigning full-bore for the US president, with reports of a Wuhan lab ‘intelligence’ dossier being seeded across its empire

In liberal democracies, the integrity, impartiality and professionalism of intelligence agencies matters. That’s why it is essential that intelligence agencies remain aloof, not only from the political debates of the day, but also from the policy decisions that individual governments may take. The intelligence community’s core task is to provide brutally realistic analysis on the threat environments we face so that governments can then make the best-informed policy decisions possible to preserve our common security.

The failures of the intelligence community before the Iraq war, the gullibility of much of the western media, as well as the cynical manipulation of both by the political class of the day, provide us with a stark reminder of what can go radically wrong. On 8 September 2002 the New York Times published one of this century’s most consequential news articles. The front-page story, supplied by the Bush administration, claimed that Saddam Hussein had stepped up his quest for weapons of mass destruction by acquiring key components for a nuclear weapon. In the UK, the Blair government’s “dodgy dossier” compounded the error. John Howard did the same in Australia. The problem was that it just wasn’t true. These were over-egged stories designed to soften the public up for what would become a disastrous war.

=========/=======
China has much to answer for, including the ultimate origins of the virus. But if Trump’s claim in the Wuhan laboratory saga ultimately ends up being disproven, either by the Five Eyes or by US intelligence itself, then the irony is that the net political winner will be China. Remember the humiliation when no WMD were found in Iraq? Beijing would seek to exonerate itself as a result of egregious presidential overreach – once again aided and abetted by the Murdoch media. This is why the watchword of any sophisticated intelligence agency is caution in endorsing premature conclusions until all the facts are on the table.

Project Veritas exposed a news network faking a report about the pandemic by placing staff in the lines.

The hospital jumped forward and took the blame.

They screeched for weeks about the Stormy Daniels nonsense (how did that end for her, anyway?)

While ignoring NXIVM and it's network of...well, it sounds like a conspiracy theory when you say it out loud. But you guys all know about that cult, right?

The Grim Conclusions of the Largest-Ever Study of Fake News

Falsehoods almost always beat out the truth on Twitter, penetrating further, faster, and deeper into the social network than accurate information.

Is NXIVM fake news? The elite connections? The trafficking?

Or do you mean the 'Stormy Daniels' kind of fake news?
