I read the Wall Street Journal recap of the protest a few minutes ago. It was disgusting, shocking misrepresentation of the truckers. But then again I expect nothing less from legacy media. Even so called conservative outlets are in lockstep on covid. There has never been a greater threat to the world than these mandates and policies.

I was watching the Fox News website to see how they would handle it. It took them a couple of days to even really acknowledge it, but their slant now seems to be generally supportive even if mostly ignoring it. I think the thing to realize is that this is taking place in Canada. The US legacy media ignores Canada as rule. It will be interesting to see what happens if this trucker protest spills over to the US.

If the American truckers would get up like Canada has, this would all end in one day.

They are organizing a convoy now. They had 140,000 members on Facebook but Facebook shut them down. They are trying to reorganize.

Why or why is "our" side continuing to use the resources of the fascist left? Why use GoFundMe (which was created to support leftist causes) or Facebook!?!?!?!?! Really? Why not givesendgo or GAB?

I donтАЩt love Gab, but IтАЩm glad itтАЩs out there. Before this I preferred GiveSendGo, but would use GoFundMe if I really liked the cause. For me itтАЩs now a line in the sand - if a fundraiser is being primarily conducted through GoFundMe I wonтАЩt be donating to the cause. Period.

I deleted Facebook and never had Twitter. My mental health rapidly improved starting about 6 weeks after I deleted (not deactivated, deleted). HavenтАЩt looked back once.

And that's the danger to the Davos crew. A class struggle in which the people who actually make things and do things band together to strike. If anything makes Klaus shit the bed, that is it.

Satan Klaus is having a bad year for sure. I think his Dream of Owning everything is collapsing. However, lets not rule out that for every reaction there is an equal opposite reaction, Satan Klaus has said in July 2021 that "we will have" a Cyber Pandemic where the Electricity and Net will be down "for months or years". This is the dude that wrote a book about The Great Reset and Covid 19 BEFORE the pandemic. Shit the bed indeed friend.

Certainly, there are any number of irons in the false-flag fire that will come down the road. Important, though, as I see it, to factor in time. The game for Teams Davos, like Team Brandon, is winding down and the final minutes are approaching. Not going to go well for the oligarchs and their servants.

Yuup, we are winning. Team Brandon and his Build Back Broken has not done well. He is causing damage, but I know of a LOT of Dems who have said they wont vote Dem anymore. Hopefully that sticks. And we can get rid of the RINOS.

Yes, apart from Tucker and Greg Gutfeld, they seem to want to make it all go away. Don't be fooled by FOX, they really are part of the elite. May this Freedom Movement spill over into the US!

The WSJ editorial board is conservative (-ish). The newsroom is not and hasn't been for twenty years or so.

Bash's avatar

That makes sense. I've exchanged emails with some of the journalists what I've found some of their covid coverage particularly egregious, and the push back I got was nonsensical. I felt like I was talking to a hysterical college kid

A lot of "reporters" at these prestige news agencies are foreign students/recent grads. They just write what they're told.

Wolf J Flywheel's avatar

At the new york times, the Editors literally do that. They tell the "reporters" what to go out and "find" and write about. Apparently its explicitly that way at the times whereas at other papers reporters have some voice in the matter.

I dropped WSJ after 50 years over Rebecca Ballhaus and the Russia hoax. I used to email her every day about her obvious lies but she never responded. The WSJ journos are woke warriors. WSJ is dead to me.

I dropped my subscription to the WSJ because of their coverage of the Iraq war. I switched to the FT, which did oppose the Iraq war. But since then the FT has become indistinguishable from the other papers, so I have dropped them too.

Oh much longer. The board and the newsroom probably had their most contentious split over Michael Milken in the 80s.

Correct. The news side is not hyperbolic like the WaPo and NYT but is liberal. Owned by NewsCorp, who owns Fox and NY post. All I care about is fair.

Read RFK Jr's book about Fauci and learn where all this really comes from. They've been drilling it for a long time and it goes DEEP.

These past few years have been nothing short of a coup against western democracy. And who's the best at staging coups? I'll give you three letters...

Sad stuff from the WSJ. I like some of their opinion pieces sometimes but an american elitist financial journal reporting about a populist revolt in Canada... probably not the place where we should look. In Canada the National Post has some good opinion articles about the convoy. No bashing, no misrepresentation. they are showing unbiased pictures of the protest as well. However to keep track of what's going on this is Rebel News all the way.

You seem surprised, but I guess one feels compelled to read/watch Corporate Media. Your choice. But they are nothing but shills for Big Pharma, Big Government and the status quo.

Casey Preston's avatar

ItтАЩs useful to look at headlines on Fox News and CNN to see what the corporate media feels is the best way to pander to the right and to the left. I suppose looking at headlines on the NYT and WSJ would also get you an idea of what pandering to the left and right elites might look like. Reading their stories actually requires giving them money, though, which seems a step too far.
