” “Stories”, in and of themselves, do absolutely nothing.

Mediots, presstitutes, and propagandists repeat them (or not), expand them (or not), give them air time (or not) based on their agenda.

For 99.999% of MSM mediots, presstitutes and propagandists, the agenda is all marxism, all the time.”

Wrong. Mediots, presstitutes and propagandists only repeat stories that have legs. Sometimes, they’ll repeat a story with legs despite the fact that it is harmful to their agenda. For example, Al Gore’s tenants’ complaints about the deplorable conditions of their apartments, or Hillary Clinton’s failure to tip a waitress. Some stories have legs. Other stories don’t. The Mediots, presstitutes, etc., can’t just push their agenda, because they work for major corporations who sell things during the air time during which “news” is reported. So they must report a story with legs to keep the public from tuning in elsewhere, and they can’t report a story without legs, because that, too, will cause the public to tune in elsewhere. They can try to work their agenda into that template, but that template rules. As to what kind of story has legs and what doesn’t, there’s no reliable way of predicting it. But once it breaks, you can tell a story with legs from one that doesn’t very easily.

Wrong.

Stories don't "have legs".

"Mediots, presstitutes, and propagandists" use the propaganda phrase "this story has legs" to cover the fact that they are pursuing some stories, and not others, in order to further their marxist agenda.

Don't let them fool you.

Don't be their "useful idiot".
