Legacy Media's Latest Scripted Buzzword: "Escalation!!!" (video)
Rumble ^ | 4-28-25 | Staff

Posted on 04/29/2025 4:05:14 AM PDT by Strict9

this is a montage video of several talking heads in the media using their new buzzword: “Escalation.” It just goes to show that all of the mainstream media fools get the phone call or the email in the morning telling them what the news is that day, and exactly how to report it. They are too stupid to mix it up though, and so they read the script they are given word for word.

This started with Rush Limbaugh’s “gravitas” montage. During a nightly news cycle regarding President Bush, Rush highlighted a montage of about 50 reporters starting off their broadcasts wondering if Bush had the “gravitas” to be president. No one speaks latin unless your name is Soros/Schwartz and so it made it obvious that all of the media idiots literally read the same script. They don’t report, they don’t investigate or think for themselves, they regurgitate what they are ordered to that day by their master.

My favorite is when the Reverend Doctor Professor Al Sharpton says “Esculations.”

I have to say I completely ignore everything the media says.

I used to pay vague attention to see the lie of the day, but now I officially don’t care.

Everything they say and do is a lie.

And who can forget “nuanced”, and of course, everyone’s favorite overnight universal word—“duende”! I especially loved the work they all put into making it look like they were searching for just the right word, and being pleased that they personally discovered it. They all sounded like exactly what they are.

Great memory! And you are spot-on. That “gravitas” montage was indeed outstanding. We still don’t know how it happens!

They have destroyed this country with lies. I hate compromises of the Bill of Rights but every right has been infringed or adulterated except the freedom of the press. Maybe it is time to take a look at this option. A “truth” amendment would fix all this social engineering. It would be 100% positive and there would be absolutely no one harmed by it. The original intentions were to protect the right to share truth. Now it is being used to protect sharing lies and social engineering.

They like using legal/law enforcement terms to imply the opposition doing illegal things.

Is Hakeem Jeffries still saying ULTRA EXTREEM MAGA in every sentence or did he finally drop that nonsense I wonder.

These montages prove beyond any doubt how orchestrated the media has been for decades.

The rise of hundreds of podcasters and alternative media sources has overwhelmed the power of the legacy media, the audience for which has been shrinking particularly in this decade. Newspapers are trusted by 18% and distrusted by 48% of the population. Television news is trusted by 12% and distrusted by 56% of the population. These figures are as of 2024. In 1972, 68% of the public placed great trust in the media while only 6% distrusted it. With DOGE cutting off laundered funds going to these sources, the possibility that RFK, Jr. will end drug advertising on TV, thus ending Big Pharma ending their subsidizing the legacy media, and the possibility that PBS will finally be weaned off Federal funding, their ability of the traditional media to influence the public will be decreasing.

Unfortunately the Global New World Order Corporations like BlackRock will pick up the tab for continued propaganda and social engineering. There needs to be something set in stone to eliminate the opportunity altogether. Shut down their agendas. The press has killed more people than wars have. Lies from the Press has even been the root of every war ever started. Mandating truth can harm absolutely no one...

exactly, every week there’s a montage of the latest scripted buzzword, for decades. It tells me they all follow the exact same script.

The problem with censorship overturning the First Amendment is that the tools set up to do so will be used against conservatives and patriots. Look at the European nations and Canada, where traditionalists are routinely fined and jailed for politically incorrect speech. The ruling elite in France, Germany, Britain, and elsewhere, including here define truth as their "science" and "ethics". In America, the tech giants and the Biden Administration attempted to end conservative and rightist speech through deplatforming, banning, and shadow banning dissidents.

However, the overreach backfired, with conservatives and the alt-right finding new sources through alternative sources, through providers like Rumble. Discontent with the Deep State's overreach on COVID and the pushing of the DEI and LGBTQ agendas alienated a large portion of the population. When Elon Musk acquired Twitter/X, the tide turned decisively. The 2024 election is evidence of the turning tide. At this point, BlackRock and the media companies are on the defensive.

Do not discount the wisdom of the Founding Fathers in providing blanket protection for freedom of speech. If the level of protection were lowered to what we see in Europe and the Commonwealth nations, the Democrats will surely imprison conservative, libertarian, and other rightist spokesmen, all in the name of preventing "disinformation" or "hate speech".

I fully understand how it is “supposed to be”. But it is not...

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

Religion has been infringed and adulterated.

Free speech has been infringed and adulterated.

The right to assemble has been infringed and adulterated.

The right to petition Government has been infringed and adulterated.

All of the Bill of Rights has been infringed and adulterated.

That ONLY one that has not is Freedom of the Press. And because of this humanity has been enslaved by the Press. They are the very root of all the current mental illness and lack of morality in the world.

It is time to pay the piper like we have all had to do with all the other rights taken from us. In fact the Press helped to take them away. They should not have special unique immunity from this universal infringement either.

There is absolutely nothing negative about mandating a wrapper of truth in Media. It is their turn to be infringed in a positive way. And the precedent has already been set by the infringement of all the other rights. What is good for the Goose is good for the Gander. In no way are they a special class over the rest of us and our rights.

The right to lie should not be a right at all. It is not even a right supported by morality. Under no other circumstances or environments is the right to lie legally supported. Fraud and misrepresentation is a felony crime. Yet they are immune from criminal violations while the rest of us are not.

Another fact... They are already selectively infringing on the freedom of the Press. So why not force it to be universal across the board? No one gets a break, it should then be a one size fits all if they are going to infringe it.

If they refuse to bring the Press into check across the board then all our other rights should be restored in full by example. It is a time in our culture for one or the other... Put them in check or restore everything that has been infringed.

The Bee gets it right more often than not. The legacy media, not so much.
