It's all about the propaganda war

The past week brought further evidence of how deep and wide the propaganda war is on ordinary Americans. Trump supporters converged on Washington, D.C., last Saturday for the "Million MAGA March." The crowd was enormous, but – like so much else these days – it is nearly impossible to get accurate information about how many people were there. White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany tweeted out that it was "more than one MILLION" people, which seems highly unlikely. Yet, the major media – predictably – went in the opposite direction, downplaying the event to one that only thousands attended. How many thousands? Tens of thousands? Hundreds of thousands? Just eyeballing the crowds from the vantage points of the many overhead shots provided on social media and elsewhere, it looked like enough people to fill the largest college or NFL stadium and then some. You wouldn't know that from reading the articles.

It isn't just the numbers that the media manipulate; it's the motives.

The “news.”

Unprofessional, unethical and immoral.

Politically and ideologically biased.

Shallow.

Ignorant.

Rush to report with half baked “facts.”

Seldom give their correction or retractions the attention the original story got, if they make a correction at all.

Full of pop culture trash and advertising pretending to be “news.”

One sided (seldom gives both sides equal weight) on an issue that is contentious.

BUT!!! Demographically representative for the target audience they hope to speak to: older white males, Asians, blacks, Latinos, gays, feminist women.

It might just be an endless drivel of bullshit where even the weather or a bad flu is politicized and everyone says the exact same thing, but they can tell you the story with a face you can identify with.

The news now is US, and a few conservative web sites.

Use their social media against them if you can, if they ban you, get a different gmail and sign up again. And use the conservative alternatives Gab, MeWe and Parler.

And pick up the phone and call your friends, family and loved ones. Send them emails. Even if they ridicule and disown you the future of our country is at least a worth a try, right?

I spoke to a neighbor the other day, avid FOX watcher. She had no idea and was furious, now she is sending me stuff

This is war absolute all out war

This is the war for the United States of America to remain free

The enemy the leftist communist insurgency/Democrat party has stolen this election and we must defeat them and regain our control over the levers of power of this country

Right now this war must be won in the courts of law

Nothing else matters on the radio on TV only what is decided by the courts matters right now

Laura Hollis appears to be falling for the Pravda media’s “Show us the evidence!” taunt. The Trump legal team’s press conference addressed that yesterday.

I also need to point out that the matter at hand (i.e., widespread election fraud) is far more serious than the past “teasers” Hollis regrets were not followed up on.
