Today, we see an alliance between corporate media and corporate tech titans to squelch debate, silence conservatives, and literally censor regular Americans, dissenting scientists, newspaper competitors, and even the president of the United States.
No longer even content with simply nitpicking and undermining debate, the fact checks on the United States' COVID vaccine timeline expose how outlets like NBC, The New York Times, and The Washington Post are willing to attack American dreams and aspirations to score political points.
"Trump's inaccurate coronavirus vaccine timeline," read a Washington Post headline that has since been updated to replace "Inaccurate" with "Accelerated." "Trump appears to be expediting the vaccine development process, misrepresenting how fast a vaccine will be available to the public in fighting the novel coronavirus," the article claimed, citing leftist media's unassailable hero, Dr. Anthony Fauci.
"As the United States and the rest of the world prepare for the novel coronavirus to continue spreading," they continued, "It's important to share factual information about the virus and methods to combat it." "This is misleading," The New York Times "Fact-checked" after the president said the companies the United States is working with are "Going to have vaccines, I think, relatively soon." "Fact check: Coronavirus vaccine could come this year, Trump says," reads an NBC headline.
More to the point, the above three articles aren't even checks on facts - they're checks on hopeful goals, they're checks on our national aspirations in the face of immense challenges, they're checks on what the corporate media and their expert friends think America is capable of achieving.
"This nation should commit itself to achieving the goal," one American president said in a 1961 address to a joint session of Congress: "Before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the Earth." That president was John F. Kennedy, and just eight years later President Richard Nixon joined the country in watching the Apollo 11 land safely on the moon.
Still, the differences here illustrate what many Americans have already come to believe about our corporate media: They hate President Donald Trump so much they were willing to undermine our country and our dreams to defeat him.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
Elections have consequences, so it is important that voters who want to save our democracy, should v
