EXPLAINED: ‘Breaking the News’ Reveals Tricks the Media Use to Contort Every Story to Fit Their Agenda
breitbart ^ | 8 Jun 2021 | HANNAH BLEAU

Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow’s Breaking the News: Exposing the Establishment Media’s Hidden Deals and Secret Corruption details the tricks the media use to contort every story to fit their fixed agenda— also known as the rules to properly decipher the New York Times. Establishment media outlets require something akin to a “secret decoder ring,” Marlow observes in his best-selling blockbuster, which recently landed on the New York Times, USA Today, Wall Street Journal, and Publishers Weekly bestseller lists. “What is written on the page (or spoken in a broadcast) is not always literal and can only be fully understood if you know how to break the code,” he writes, providing key examples and hacks, or a “cheat sheet,” of how people can better understand the how the establishment media operates and covers the news.

• An article’s “hero” should be anyone who advances the causes of globalism, wokeness, skepticism of America and its values, and/or political leftism.

• Additional unofficial “hero points” are added or subtracted based on the hero’s race, sex, sexual orientation, and/or socioeconomic status.

• Heroes get glamorous “hero shot” photographs when possible.

• Villains get unflattering photographs, or none at all.

The leftist media is the information warfare wing of the democrat party’s army while antifa and blm are the soldiers.

Minority thug criminals are reported as heroes

Or completely ignored

Depends on what agenda they are pushing

People who defend their lives are regarded as criminals

Especially if white, and men

Some if this stuff is soooo obvious.

Every photo of Trump the last four years shows him scowling. Every photo of Slow Joe shows him smiling.

I don’t need a cheat sheet anymore, but it’s a good idea for the newly diagnosed conservatives.

I think ‘grimace’ is closer to smiling, but I get your point. Remember the halos around Obama’s head?

They create non-profit orgs that have ‘members’ composed of people very close to news ‘journalists’, if not them themselves. I remember one; Progressive Media USA - it stated that its mission was (paraphrase) “to enable a clear and consistent message throughout media channels” (something to that effect). The ‘members’ were known pundits & political actors...they all ‘synchronize’ words, imagery, narrative, etc.. Notice they all use the same specific words and phrases at the same time?

After a bit of poking around:

https://www.thenation.com/authors/progressive-media-usa/

“Progressive Media USA is a non-profit organization working to bring about progressive change by informing the American people about the risks of conservative policies and leaders and by ensuring that progressive voices are heard in the public debate.”

https://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Progressive_Media_USA

“Progressive Media USA will create a permanent communications infrastructure to counter the right-wing message machine and amplify the progressive message across television, radio, print media and the Internet”

GEORGE SOROS funded

https://capitalresearch.org/article/soross-political-hit-man-brock-takes-aim-at-mccain/

“David Brock, the president and CEO of the George Soros-funded character assassination factory, Media Matters for America (MM), which euphemistically describes its mission as “comprehensively monitoring, analyzing, and correcting conservative misinformation in the U.S. media,” isn’t even pretending to be nonpartisan or fair anymore. Brock has assumed the chairmanship of Progressive Media USA (PMUSA) and in that role will spearhead “a four-month, $40 million media campaign centered on attacks on Sen. John McCain,” the Politico reports. “We’re a little behind where we need to be,” Brock said last week of the fledgling group’s fundraising following a Manhattan meeting with Soros, the left-wing philanthropist, and Paul Begala, the ubiquitous TV talking head and longtime Democratic Party operative. As a 501(c)(4) organization, PMUSA doesn’t have to disclose its donors, the article notes, adding that Brock said he will form a related 527 group, Progressive Media Action, so the campaign can take in donations from unions and other sources.”

...so same with Media Matters. Billions of Soros’ cash and dark money pours into these orgs and they collaborate on message and then disseminate it across the liberal media 24/7.
