Observation. I think the MSM is beginning to shift its position.
3 anecdotes
1. A friend sent me an article about (the idiotic flaming liberal) Tom Friedman of the NYT being pro-wall. Not entirely, but still. Wow.
2. Listening to the radio on the way to church, NPR was airing a pro-wall, pro-border enforcement show. Or at least that’s what the snippet I heard sounded like.
3. Call in show on CSPAN. Independent voter called in and went on and on about how Trump was a buffoon and she had no respect for Trump, but then said that she agreed with him completely on whatever the issue was being discussed. (the wall, I think)
So here is what these things made me think about .....
Either the white hats are now in control of the media (or at least some elements of the media) or the derps have lost control. It could well be some combination of the two. I’d really prefer - particularly long term - that no one is controlling the media. That just trades one dictatorial group for a different group that I happen to like at the moment, but which eventually will become corrupted as it exerts ever more control.
Interesting that at least 2 of the 3 incidents were about building the wall and enforcing our border laws. Coincidence?
As a thought experiment, assume that Trump/Q controls the media. Are they going to immediately start printing/broadcasting rah-rah pro-Trump information? No, of course not. For so many reasons.
First of all, it would be incredibly obvious that something drastic happened. People would want to know why the sudden change and it would probably do more harm than good.
Second, the sheeple who have been spoon-fed a steady diet of derp propaganda would not be able to handle the sudden change. They would be confused, they’d get whiplash from being jerked so fast in a different direction. They wouldn’t be able to understand or absorb the information. Too much cognitive dissonance.
So a better plan would be to have “trusted” derp writers and broadcasters ease into this. They need to gradually point out things that both the left and the right can agree on and “grudgingly” admit that Trump might be doing something right. I don’t know how long it takes to condition people to change their minds or to free them from the “Stockholm Syndrome” of being hostage to the derp media, but I’ll be the Q team knows! Stockholm Syndrome takes a surprisingly short time to set in, so I’m guessing it ought to be just as fast to reverse it with the right treatment.
In Stockholm Syndrome, the victims defend their captors and a big factor is because they have become physically, psychologically, or emotionally dependent on the captors. Or all three. Plenty of sheeple are physically dependent on the derps - food stamps, welfare, affirmative action, jobs, ..... Even more have become psychologically and emotionally dependent. They get a steady diet of the derp media telling them that they are the good people because they agree with the derps and are not mean like the conservatives/Trump supporters. They definitely have a strong tribal bond and depend on the MSM to constantly reinforce and reassure them that they “think correctly”.
So the Q team needs to break that dependence. (Think for yourself! Do your own research!) Some of us were always independent. Some of us learned it from stumbling on to the Q drops and waking up. Some are going to need a little more of a push. And sadly, some will never catch on.
But I think there is hope for the vast majority, once they are presented with the truth. Maybe spoon fed a bit by the reformed MSM.
Truth is like the sun. It shines a light into dark places. It has a sanitizing effect. But too much all at once can hurt like hell.
I remember reading about 0b0la’s trip to Russia with the Senator dude and getting their passports taken for hours.
Putin knows 0bola is using a fraudulent name and identity.
Dennis Prager says hate the sin, have compassion for the sinner.
She is not assisting them .She supports stability.
Also troubling that you absolutely would not be able to tell whether they were chicken hawks or not. They all look like schoolboys when you see them. Except during Pride month I guess.
>>Observation. I think the MSM is beginning to shift its position.
Fascinating analysis. Really enjoyed it.
:) Good Girl :).
>>hate the sin, have compassion for the sinner
I will try to keep that in mind when reading the posts of bigots. I hate the bigotry, but will attempt to think more charitably of the bigots. Thank you for the thought.
“””Cletus, it’s pretty weird that you mention Lugar and he dies today - I’ll bet his name hasn’t been typed into these Q threads in at least 12 months, if ever...”””
I’d forgotten all about him until I saw him on the news this evening.
No idea how or if he fits into the puzzle.
In his writing, Skolnick references a (no longer operating) German journalism website, of which he is part. That website, found in archives (especially blog, americanreporter.wordpress.com) sources several short articles filed by reporter Nils Båhmer/Bellona.

I got a thread on you long ago when I looked this up.:)

Why isn't this front and center like the movement to ban guns was, right after the New Zealand mosque shootings?

Indiana has the second-highest child abuse rate in the nation, report says
Justin L. Mack, Indianapolis Star Published 11:04 a.m. ET April 1, 2019 | Updated 12:38 p.m. ET April 1, 2019
A new report from the Children’s Bureau of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services says that Indiana and our neighbor to the south have child abuse rates more than double the national average.
The federal agency’s latest Child Maltreatment report, which covers incidents reported and investigated in 2017, shows that there were 29,189 victims of child abuse in Indiana. That translates to a rate of 18.6 victims per 1,000 children.

Because liberals, for reasons I can’t even fathom, consider Muslims as a protected species. I’m just thrilled when countries do this absolutely sensible and rational act.

4. The MSM outlets are no longer receiving regular 4 am drops. The outlets actually must think and create original content.
Hmmmm...
Higher or lower on Pence’s watch?
By what percentage difference.
Interesting photo, that. One might rationalize that the Governor would, on certain occasions, interface with one of his states more influential cities.
