As a veteran, what the hell did I do to protect anyone’s freedoms? They spy on our phones, milch us for taxes, make kids wear masks, and make adults get jabs. FREEDOM my ass.
Maybe it's time to treat CNN and MSNBC for what they've become, tabloid media. And stop reporting on their fake news, just like we don't report what's on the front page of The National Enquirer.
They're already losing viewership. We need the algorithms to document that no one is clicking on, linking to, or mentioning anything that points to their website or social pages.
I see your point, Holly, and I definitely don’t want them to get any clicks/views, but I do believe it’s important to monitor what the propagandists are doing and calling them out on their hypocrisy and lies.
But if the propogandists have no listeners, will it matter what they say?
Look at it from their perspective, how best to keep attention coming their way (and ad revenue)? If they were middle of the road, or just slightly to one side, would they get as much attention?
Are some of their extreme statements playing to their critics (and Ad marketing numbers?)
Sometimes we need to assess whether what we are doing is because we feel compelled or we were manipulated into the act.
I appreciate the point you're making, and I think there's a lot of truth to it. People need to see corporate media for what they are, very much like gossip magazine. I would put Fox in that same group, as their reporting changes with who is in the White House. For example, if Trump was in the white house I don't think they would be reporting on the pandemic and vaccine in the way they are now.
The power of corporate television news is not just about how many people watch (viewership is thankfully declining). 1) they help set the narrative in crises, especially at the beginning of a crisis where visual images and repeated narratives are powerful propaganda. This lodges is in people's consciousness and belief systems, and spreads to those who don't watch. 2) CNN and MSNBC are part of all corporate media, which includes the smaller online (previously print media) like USA Today, Time magazine, Newsweek etc. The corporate narrative is repeated through all these corporate outlets. Thank goodness for substack, telegram, bitchute, rumble, signal ect!
I do agree, but unfortunately, the propagandists *do* still have far too many listeners, and exposing them for the perception-management puppeteers they are is what’s helping to turn people away from them. So if we can do that without generating clicks/views for them, that is the ideal.
Berenson's audience on his Substack isn't that much smaller than CNN's, especially when you consider that he has no institutional viewers and no traditional audience to lean on. He says he has about 200 thousand subscribers, and CNN has 600 or 700 thousand viewers.
Every veteran and loved one of a fallen soldier should pile on CNN until they suffocate from shame.

I know, Good Cat :-( As Smedley Butler discovered, war is a racket and soldiers are typically used as pawns to advance corporate agendas.
That said, your service was not for naught, and those of us who care about genuine freedom greatly appreciate your service!

Remember when people confused the barrage of Covid scoreboards sensing cases == deaths. They pushed fear and got it in spades.

Shame? What's that, would be their comment.
You know, I had the same thought after I wrote that 😏
Or figure out how to get max murder hornets into CNN hq
I like the way you think ;-)
Tracker jackers.
When they got to Stelter, I'd fire up the Scorpions' Love at First Sting.

You are the reigning DJ of the commentariat, libertate—you have the perfect music for every occasion 😎
Thanks M.
