(CNN) Analysis: Pay attention to the propaganda, and other ways to cover an attempted coup in America
CNN via MSN ^ | 1/03/21 | Brian Stelter

Posted on 01/04/2021 1:38:13 AM PST by Libloather

Sunday showed how. With President Trump's anti-democratic conduct front and center, reporters and anchors used blunt language; challenged complicit politicians; and relied on primary source material, including Trump's own words from his damning call with Georgia election officials. CNN anchor Ana Cabrera called it a "Nixonian" recording of Trump sounding "like a mob boss." Carl Bernstein said it was evidence that Trump is trying to "instigate a coup." Dan Balz, writing for the front page of Monday's Washington Post, said "there are but 16 days left in President Trump's term, but there is no doubt that he will use all of his remaining time in office to inflict as much damage as he can on democracy - with members of a now-divided Republican Party acting as enablers."

The news coverage has to keep reiterating what is true -- that Joe Biden won the election. Trump's legal gambits have been laughed out of court. His voter fraud lies have been debunked. And he can't even keep his own story straight.

**SNIP**

Oliver Darcy writes: "Time and time again I find myself reading stories and watching news reports that leave out crucial info about Trump's efforts to subvert the election: That he has propaganda networks operating on his behalf. He has a handful of cable channels (Fox, OAN, Newsmax), websites (Gateway Pundit, Daily Wire, Breitbart), and talk radio hosts (Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, etc.) who prop up his conspiracy theories and share 'em with millions. Failing to mention that, and suggesting it is only Trump and his Republican allies lying to Americans, does a huge disservice to readers. Frankly, this propaganda machine is more powerful than the Republican lawmakers who are doing his bidding."

yet this ongoing attempted coup is still alive. Wikipedia doesn’t even mention Clinton/DNC paid Perkins Coie (now involved in the 2020 election)/who hired Fusion GPS/hired Steele/etc etc etc:

Wikipedia: Crossfire Hurricane (FBI investigation)
(THE CONSPIRACY THEORY) Crossfire Hurricane was the code name for the counterintelligence investigation undertaken by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) from July 31, 2016 to May 17, 2017 into links between Trump associates and Russian officials and “whether individuals associated with Donald Trump’s presidential campaign were coordinating, wittingly or unwittingly, with the Russian government’s efforts to interfere in the 2016 U.S. presidential election”. Trump was not personally under investigation until May 2017, when his firing of FBI director James Comey raised suspicions of obstruction of justice...

(SOME OF THE CONSPIRATORS) On January 5, 2017, FBI Director James Comey, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, CIA Director John Brennan, and NSA Director Mike Rogers briefed President Obama about an intelligence report on Russian interference in the 2016 election, which Obama had ordered in December. The discussion touched on the Steele Dossier and the relationship between incoming National Security Adviser Michael Flynn and Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak.[109] Following that briefing, President Obama met with Comey, Vice President Joseph Biden, National Security Adviser Susan Rice, and Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates. Rice documented the meeting two weeks later, on January 20, in an email she sent just before leaving the White House for the last time...

This is a specific form of propaganda. This idea of someone accusing one's opponent of the odious things one is doing to them was created by Dr. Joseph Goebbels and it is diabolically brilliant: turnspeak.

Trump's legal gambits have been laughed out of court.

No court has been willing to hear the evidence.

Over four years of this crap against Donald Trump. Well over twenty against the citizens of our great nation.

We see the pattern:
1) Lie your criminal ass off.
2) Broadcast it far and wide.
3) Get every deep state politician, actor, former military leader, favorite RINO, worst presidents ever, etc. to all sing the same song of feigned outrage on every media outlet/forum to try and give the lie validity.
4) Get your complicit fact-checkers to support the lie with your trumped up evidence.
5) Discredit any evidence put forward by anyone contradicting the lie with legitimate evidence and ruin them any way possible (preferably publicly and financially).
6) Get your corrupt judge of choice to force unconstitutional restrictions on any possible action or counter-action he may make.
7) Use tax payer funds to reward everyone involved.
8) Assume you’re awesome, untouchable, and ten steps ahead of the dumbest man on the planet even though you have failed every single time.
9) Arrogantly assume that he is not legally documenting every move you make to use against you in the greatest takedown of the most corrupt organization in human history.

Their last hurrah? We should know soon.

And yet the media will not say whether the actions Trump is taking is constitutional, which is the first clue that they are.

The group that has participated in at least TWO coup attempts again the lawfully elected President of the United States warns about a “coup” attempt in trying to get the truth out about a stolen election?

A so-called “news agency” that actively does all it can to quash news and instead has become the official spokesgroup of the CCP and their loyal puppet, Joe Biden.

If this were a work of fiction, nobody would believe how outlandish it is!

Typical mentally deranged liberals.

They try everything in their power, every ploy and scheme in their playbook, to get rid to the outsider Trump during his first fours years, yet he is so effective as president and so popular with the public, that he manages to win his second term in a landslide.

But not to be outdone, the democRATS steal the election through massive fraud and declare a sick, old, ineffective has been, Joe Biden, as president-elect.

And now that Trump is trying to take advantage of every last constitutional right and authority to regain his rightful win, the democRATS and RINOs claim their is no evidence of fraud and have the audacity to claim he is attempting the very coup that they just attempted in stealing the victory from him in the first place.

Can anyone spell P-R-O-J-E-C-T-I-O-N?
