Mainstream and Social Media 2

 

Everyone knows that the Mainstream and Social media and their far left wing reprobate pals are the real Irredeemable Deplorables, a term Hillary Clinton used to describe conservatives. Because conservatives hate everything that Marxist oriented left wing reprobates love. That lable fits Hillary to a tee. Anyway, this item focusses on the irredeemable deplorables working for Facebook, including Mark Zuckerberg. Quote: "There are very few things Big Tech loves more than censoring conservatives. They love your data. They love 12-day intermittent kale fasts at Burning Man to purify their energy chakras (or whatever). They love creepy “metaverse” demos where Mark Zuckerberg tries to pretend to be a human while donning VR gear to enter a virtual world so useless and vapid you get the feeling neo-Luddite media theorist Neil Postman was greatly understating things when he warned we were “amusing ourselves to death.” That’s really about it, though — and there’s not enough kale or VR headsets to keep the Silicon Valley crowd away from marginalizing conservative ideas. (We know that well here at The Western Journal, given Big Tech tries to starve us of ad revenue if we talk about controversial subjects. We’re not going to buckle, though — and you can help us bring America the truth by subscribing.) 

       Thus, we’re hardly surprised when we hear about someone getting temporarily bannedfrom Facebook for reposting a Ben Shapiro meme. A Joe Rogan quote? Heck, I’m starting an office pool to see who can come closest to how long it takes Spotify to fire the podcaster for cause — so it’s little wonder that repeating his words will end with a stint in Facebook jail. A Tucker Carlson video won’t just get you in Facebook jail, it’ll land you in solitary. Thomas Paine, though?  Just so we’re clear, we’re talking about that Thomas Paine. The one who wrote “Common Sense,” the pamphlet that helped turn public opinion against the British in the run-up to the American Revolution."     Alert: FB Is Punishing People Everywhere for Posting This 8-Word Thomas Paine Quote (westernjournal.com)

Finally, Facebook admits that they fact checkers are not fact checkers. They render their opinions about whether they think the facts are true or not. And, of course, they have never met a truthful statement they could not lable as false because the truth does not fit within their massive collection of false narratives. So, the moral of this piece is to never believe a Facebook fact checker's uniformed opinion. The same is most likely true for any left wing media outlet's fact checkers. The whole lot of them are dishonest left wing reprobates pushing the progressive democrat party's positions on any subject under the sun. Quote:"Facebook Claims Its Fact-Checks Are 'Opinion'. Facebook insists its "fact-checks" are "opinion" and not based on facts, says a veteran reporter who sued the company. John Stossel, a TV reporter for more than 50 years, recently sued Facebook, now known as Meta, for defamation. He said one of the social media giant's "fact-checkers," a group called Science Feedback, lied about him. He also said a Facebook fact-checker admitted that one of Stossel’s videos was red-flagged due to its "tone" — not because it contained false statements." Stossel said Facebook's lawyers responded to him in court and claimed the company's "fact-checks" are merely "opinion" and therefore immune from defamation. "Wait — Facebook's fact-checks are just 'opinion'?! I thought fact-checks are statements of fact," Stossel wrote in a column Monday for the New York Post. "That's how Facebook portrays them on its Web site: 'Each time a fact-checker rates a piece of content as false, Facebook significantly reduces the content’s distribution ... We ...  apply a warning label that links to the fact-checker’s article, disproving the claim.' "'Disproving.' Sure sounds like Facebook claims its labels are statements of fact." Stossel said Facebook's claims reminded him of TV hosts, who, when sued, employ an "opinion" defense. Then again, people such as Tucker Carlson and Rachel Maddow are known for giving opinions. One likely assumes Facebook fact-checks are based on facts. Stossel's lawsuit came after Facebook accused the reporter of saying something he didn't say. After making a video in which he said California’s wildfires were caused mostly by poor government management, Stossel said Facebook censored that as "misleading."

I believe this item is 100% true. Quote: "PROPAGANDA TRUMPS NEWS MORE THAN EVER. In what I believe to be political panic and desperation, Democrats and their media allies have concocted a false narrative in the hope of scaring the voters against the Republican Party in time for the 2022 midterm elections.  The bogus narrative claims that (1) the riot on Capitol Hill was an insurrection, and that leaders of the GOP are guilty of sedition, coup plotting and treason; (2) the fanciful insurrection is still going on; (3) those who do not believe the Democrat/media narrative are either complicit or ignorant cultists; (4) that former President Trump controls the entire Republican Party; and (5) that any Republican elected to office represents an existential threat to democracy and to the very survival of the American Republic. Whew!  That is a lot of bullstuff to swallow.  But either the left believes that the American people are hopelessly gullible, or they see it as the ONLY arrow in their political quiver — as they seem to be losing on issues, policies, competence and general popularity. We know that this propaganda campaign is the core of the Democrats 2022 election strategy because they say so.  It is not a secret.  According to top Democrats, they say that electing Republicans will lead to the end of democracy … period.  They do not point to a few who they may consider bad actors.  No.  No.  No.  They attack the Republican Party and Republican voters with the broadest of the broad-brush malicious accusations.  Media personalities say out loud that the GOP must be defeated at all levels – “crushed,” to quote their word. How the left-leaning media handles it is evidence of both the left’s desperation and that it IS a propaganda campaign.  If you analyze the news on the epicenter of corrupted and biased reporting, MSNBC, you will see the narrative played out hour-after-hour, day-after-day, week-after-week, month-after-month.  “Republicans are a threat to the Republic” is the bumper-sticker journalism of the day. 

       The media is using that first rule of propaganda – Joseph Goebbels’ suggestion that a lie will be believed if it is big and repeated … and repeated.  But Goebbels forgot Lincoln’s counterpoint that you cannot fool all the people all the time. And that is what seems to be happening to the Democrats’ false narrative.  Propaganda is always believed by strident partisans – proving the other part of Lincoln’s triplet, that you CAN fool some of the people all the time.  In a sense, we are seeing the end of Democrats fooling all the people some of the time.  That time is over. For the Democrats, their narrative-based strategy is a downward spiral.  The more they hammer the issue, the more the public turns away (e.g. Democrats losing elections, left-wing media ratings sliding, Biden poll numbers plunging) – and as a result they hammer the issue more.  The media – as the Democrats’ public voice – is trapped by their own obsession and dedication to the false narrative. Even as they have branded the GOP as the party of the “big lie,” Democrats and the left have offered up a whopper of their own.  Instead of coming to their senses and the canons of journalism ethics, a major portion of the Fourth Estate continue to play partisan propagandist."    Propaganda trumps news more than ever - The Punching Bag Post
