Media Bias

[Brian Peacock]

Funny how you never complained about FOXNEWS' relationship with the Trump administration.

That was already covered pretty well.

Anderson Cooper fleeing questions about his 'news network' being publicly humiliated is more current, and more relevant, since they have more of the public respect than Fox.

Funny how you never mentioned anything about the PV expose, and what it contained. It's almost like you didn't want to know how bad CNN has been fucking you over, or which stories they told were specifically referenced in the expose as lies...

Project Veritas has caused the two to merge. Media has a conspiracy bias. On one side, they chant 'qanon conspiracy', on the other 'blueanon conspiracy'.

When they showed that CNN is pushing deliberate propaganda, via a 'bat-phone', the two worlds collided, and caused everyone with any sense to wonder where all the money went.

As is usually significant, during times of great wealth transfer.

I thought Brian did the thread merges around here.

relevant contributions also welcome.

Apparently non sequiturs are too.

More people watch Fox than CNN.

New York Post reporter quits citing pressure to write incorrect story about Kamala Harris

A reporter at Rupert Murdoch’s New York tabloid has resigned after she claimed she was forced to write an incorrect story about migrants and Kamala Harris.

The New York Post published a story on 23 April headlined “Kam on in”, which claimed that migrant children were being given a copy of the vice-president’s 2019 book, Superheroes Are Everywhere, as part of a welcome kit in Los Angeles.

Laura Italiano was credited with writing the story but on Tuesday she announced on Twitter that being told to write the “incorrect story” was her “breaking point” over working at the tabloid.

“Today I handed in my resignation to my editors at the New York Post,” she said. “The Kamala Harris story — an incorrect story I was ordered to write and which I failed to push back hard enough against — was my breaking point."...

Yeah but CNN.

All kittens from a bad litter, let's drown them all.

[Cunt]

Substack seems to have collected a bunch of the disaffected journalists and reporters.

Maybe something useful will come of it.

Not so long ago the blithering asshat Posobiec came up in a discussion here. There was mention of his confirmed unreliability as a source for information of any kind. Rather he has a record as a source of disinformation. He doesn't come up with all of it on his own though.

'Jack Posobiec Links to Russian Intelligence-Backed Website'

Posobiec repeatedly linked on Twitter to the obscure website “SouthFront,” which the U.S. Department of the Treasury named on April 15 in a statement explaining its enactment of sanctions on the Russian government, Hatewatch found. SouthFront, in turn, made posts promoting Posobiec. Southfront also cited Posobiec’s tweets in their posts, as they did in February when announcing that Senate Republicans acquitted President Trump on charges related to his role in the Jan. 6 insurrection. Posobiec has used Twitter to promote Russian intelligence-backed propaganda before, as when he served as a central figure in spreading a hack of Emmanuel Macron’s emails in May 2017, as Hatewatch has previously reported.

The Department of the Treasury put in place those sanctions in response to attempts to “influence the 2020 U.S. presidential election at the direction of the leadership of the Russian Government,” the statement noted. The government described the website Posobiec shared dozens of times as being operated by Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) in an attempt to appeal to Western audiences:

SouthFront is an online disinformation site registered in Russia that receives taskings from the FSB. It attempts to appeal to military enthusiasts, veterans, and conspiracy theorists, all while going to great lengths to hide its connections to Russian intelligence. In the aftermath of the 2020 U.S. presidential election, SouthFront sought to promote perceptions of voter fraud by publishing content alleging that such activity took place during the 2020 U.S. presidential election cycle.

Posobiec shared to Twitter the 28 links to SouthFront from November 2019 to August 2020, all while working for the low-standard news network OANN, Hatewatch found. The OANN correspondent shared SouthFront links related to such subjects as Iran, Syria, Libya and China. (The web traffic analysis company Alexa suggests that SouthFront.org pulls most of its traffic from posts about Syria and its surrounding region.) Posobiec also shared SouthFront links focused on the COVID-19 pandemic and at least one post on the site that mocked concerns about Russian disinformation. Posobiec frequently deletes posts with disinformation or hateful language from Twitter after they have gone viral, as he did in 2017 after promoting on that site a neo-fascist Polish political movement that in the 1930s bombed Jewish homes.

Youtube banned Trumps speech again. You guys are lucky they did it, too. Or you might have been ill-affected by his riotous words.
