The News Blackout Has Now Begun, 3474

Good morning, I’m still reporting on the coup.
The news blackout started at 11:48 a.m. on Jan. 20, 2021 and it is unknown how long it will continue, but at least as long as Joe Biden is President of the United States.
The coverage of his presidency will be similar to but worse than the coverage of his campaign, which you could call the “I see noth-ink” policy in honor of Sgt. Schultz of Hogan Heroes. But as we will discover no doubt in the first couple weeks of Biden’s residency in the White House, Sgt. Schultz is Sherlock Holmes when it comes to what the media will observe about the Biden administration.
In a move that even a few years ago would have been unthinkable, the Washington Post announced on Jan. 20, it was closing down its false claims desk.
It is so blatant! A republican president needs to have every word out of his mouth checked for accuracy. Almost anything Trump said about global warming, immigration, economic policy, national security policy, or any other hot button issue is deemed misleading, because the Washington Post disagreed with Trump about these issues and could find a different interpretation of what Trump said.
Economics is easy; all you have to use is a different set of figures and you can prove any economic statement is false. In proof of that, the liberal media has come up with economic figures that show the economy was robust under Obama. Those of us who managed to survive the Obama years don’t need to be told that is a false statement.
Also, the use of “experts” is over the top. Anyone who has been in journalism any length of time knows that you can find an expert to say whatever you want them to say. They don’t want money, they want fame. A couple of quotes in the Post and they figure they will become a regular on CNN.
But what is amazing is that the Washington Post, on day one, announced it would not be subjecting Biden to the same scrutiny as Trump. No rational human being thought they would, but it is still shocking that they would, on day one, admit that they are going to be treating Biden with kid gloves.
As far as the liberal media is concerned, Biden doesn’t make mistakes and everything he does is by definition the right thing to do.
The liberal media has been ignoring Biden’s many, many mistakes in speaking for over a year. It will be no trouble for them to continue to ignore things like words or phrases that don’t exist in the English language, or getting both the name and the department wrong for one of his cabinet secretaries.
If the liberal media doesn’t report it, then for a large swath of Americans who trust those news sources, it didn’t happen.
This morning, Maria Bartiromo and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, Glen Greenwald discussed press censorship.
[insert to: “… faith & Trust.”]
Well, you don’t have to a psychic to know that these people are working for – or beholding to – or in bed with – China. They have bought into the Chinese line that life is just great there if you are connected to the CCP and forget about this messy Republic thing. The idea of representative democracy is just a mythical, idealistic notion of a bygone era.
So, they will never admit that they were wrong because admitting error goes against the party line. They know they are wrong. The search for truth is no longer their goal. Only submission to the party line will get you somewhere in the New World Order.
So, rather than truthfully admit their mistakes …
[insert from: “…. Now at the point …” to “… or what the story is….”]
Maria is one of the very few American journalists who would dare to suggest such a thing. It bears repeating.
[insert from: “Because, I don’t know…” to : “… or did the Chinese write that?”]
Wow!! God bless you, Maria Bartiromo. That’s the only conclusion a good journalist who is searching for the truth, and has closely followed events of the last year can come to at this point, but how many are willing to say that out loud?
Almost none. With a few notable exceptions, the MSM is still a solid wall of leftist propaganda. It’s so bad that many, many Americans believe that the claims of election fraud were in fact “baseless” because there was no evidence of election fraud because that is what the liberal media has repeated over and over in news articles, editorials and columns.
They honestly have not heard and seen the thousands of signed affidavits, videos, and sworn testimony alleging election fraud. That, by definition, is evidence which even a court of law will accept.
Evidence is not proof, but the liberal media has repeatedly stated that there is no evidence when, in fact, there are piles of evidence. Most of the lawsuits brought were thrown out, not for lack of evidence, but for lack of standing, like the Texas lawsuit. That means these lawsuits didn’t even get to the evidence part. Why? Because if they did, the MSM would have had to cover it.
One point in The Washington Post’s favor, if Biden speaks publicly as often during his presidency as he did during his campaign, there really isn’t any need to have someone devoted to checking his facts, a part-timer working two hours a week is probably sufficient.
I'm still reporting from just outside the citadel of American freedom, good day.
