Despotism (Encyclopedia Britannica film, circa 1946)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaWSqboZr1w
“A community is low on a ‘Respect’ scale if common courtesy is withheld from large groups of people on account of their political attitudes.”

“...in a downright despotism opposition is dangerous whether the despotism is official or whether it is unofficial...”

“A community rates low on the ‘Information’ scale when the press, radio, and other channels of communication are controlled by only a few people and when citizens have to accept what they are told.”

“See how a community trains its teachers”
“...these students are being taught to accept uncritically whatever they are told. Questions are not encouraged.”

“And if books and newspapers and the radio [and facebook and youtube and...] are officially controlled the people will read and accept exactly what the few in control want them to. Government censorship is one form of control. The newspaper that breaks the government censorship rule can be suspended. It is also possible for newspapers and other lines of communication to be controlled by private interests...”

Democracy (Encyclopedia Britannica film, circa 1946)

“The newspapers of a real democracy meet these tests...”

Newspaper checks.
1. Balance of coverage
2. Disclosure of source
3. Competence of staff

It is Orwellian Ministry of Truth.

It is not hyperbole to call it totalitarianism.

Nothing we didn’t already know. CNN Sucks!

CNN is (deep)State sponsored media.

...who'we kidding.

...they all are.

George Orwell just did not realize that people would actually pay to be brain washed. That they would pay for TV channels that would deliberately lie to them.

Jame’s Okeefe is a modern day Paul Revere or Nathan Hale

Nathan Hale was ultimately hanged by the British.

I hope Okeefe is careful.

CCPNN is more like it.

"‘Climate change fear-mongering is next’"

And their moronic viewers will buy it...hook, line and lead sinker.

This guy and his team are good...real damn good!

CNN=crappy notso news.

[Yardstick]

You can already see the media shifting back to beating the climate change drum now that COVID is starting to wane.

This reminds me of Barney Fife going on the date with the reporter and saying all kinds of stuff to impress his date.

Except in this case I think the CNN person was telling the truth. But the fact that they set up Tinder dates reminds me of that.

Absolutely true and lots of us already know what CNN and the rest have been about.

That said, the 2020 election was rigged and stolen by enemies foreign and domestic, and the steal was aided and abetted by traitors on the left AND right before, during and after the rigged election.

China Joe and Side Ho Harris are not legal nor constitutional to be in the White House, and that is the sole reason for the National Guard and all of the razor wire. The Jan 6th event was planned and staged by the left for this purpose.

Donald J Trump remains the legal President of the United States. He won by a landslide - probably 85 million votes.

CNN did not get him out of office.

[PROCON]

Good job as usual, James but of course we already knew about CNN's bias.

Perhaps this will remove the veil from some folk's eyes.

How come “propaganda” is allowed when it clearly serves to disenfranchise voters?

probably something to do with the fact that neither taxpayers or voters have “standing” to sue
