Disinformation

Dr. Tom Woods has weighed in on the dis, mis, mal information charade.

Just when you think the media can’t get more stupid or contemptible, you get NBC’s Brandy Dadrozny telling readers today, “Disinformation poses an unprecedented threat to democracy in the United States in 2024, according to researchers, technologists and political scientists.”

It takes your breath away, does it not, the gall of these people?

They do nothing but mislead the public 24 hours a day, and they can pretend somebody else is to blame for “disinformation”?

The US regime lies to the public all the time, and yet the media never condemns it as a purveyor of “disinformation.”

When you and I speak uncomfortable or embarrassing truths, now that’s what these creeps consider “disinformation.”

Two years ago I reported on a CNN panel on disinformation held at the University of Chicago. At that event a freshman named Christopher Phillips stood up and identified the real source of disinformation:

You’ve all spoken extensively about FOX News being a purveyor of disinformation. But CNN is right up there with them. They pushed the Russian collusion hoax, they pushed the Jussie Smollett hoax, they smeared Justice Kavanaugh as a rapist, and they also smeared Nick Sandmann as a white supremacist. And yes, they dismissed the Hunter Biden laptop affair as pure Russian disinformation.

With mainstream corporate journalists becoming little more than apologists and cheerleaders for the regime, is it time to finally declare that the canon of journalistic ethics is dead or no longer operative?

All the mistakes of the mainstream media, and CNN in particular, seem to magically all go in one direction. Are we expected to believe that this is all just some sort of random coincidence, or is there something else behind it?

Boom.

Vivek Ramaswamy recently came up with a bunch of good examples of particularly egregious cases of media disinformation, among them:

  • Russia collusion
  • The Hunter Biden laptop story
  • The “very fine people” hoax (mischaracterization of Trump’s remarks after Charlottesville)
  • Bubba Wallace and the alleged “noose” in his garage stall (that turned out to be a garage door pull rope)
  • Jussie Smollett
  • Covington Catholic students
  • Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping plot
  • Steele dossier
  • Florida’s “don’t say gay” bill
  • Georgia integrity law (described preposterously as “the new Jim Crow”)
  • Duke lacrosse case
  • January 6th
  • “Mostly peaceful” BLM riots
  • Ivermectin as a horse dewormer
  • Trump’s alleged use of tear gas for Bible photo

It is time for the in-kind contributions of the media to the Democrats electoral prospects be recognized for just what they are.  Most of Big Media is just a propaganda arm of the Leftists running the country.
