Sharyl Attkisson talked to Matt Boyle Friday about current events and an extremely disturbing trend. Elites have become adept at controlling media narratives, going so far as to ostracize reporters who veer from a particular narrative: Its certainly happening here in the United States, said Attkisson.
Asked if American media appear to be aggressively pushing a particular narrative, specifically gun control in light of the recent terrorism in Orlando, Attkisson said:
I think theyve been pushing narratives a lot for the last couple of years in a way I havent seen five years ago ten years ago, for sure. Its almost like someones given a license at the top. It used to be done kind of subtly, but now its sort of encouraged. Its almost as if everybodys on the same page now. I think its inappropriate. I think that different views should be represented. It doesnt have to be 50-50 every time that every story has to be given equal time. But over time, different views should be heard, and we just dont hear that anymore.
I just got back from a conference in Russia, of all places, where global journalists gathered to talk about this as a trend globally, where government interests, corporate interests, special interests have learned how to use the news media,Attkisson said, how to use social media to control the narrative in ways, I think, more aggressively than has ever been done before.
As for reporters:
When they veer from the narrative thats trying to be established by whatever power that exists, theyre controversialized, theyre bullied, theyre driven out of the mainstream. Its a global trend. Whoever is trying to control the narrative has figured this out. Theyre applying similar techniques around the world, and its certainly happening here in the United States.

Hate to split hairs, but I'd say it's more like almost all journalists are MUCH, MUCH more comfortable making themselves available to BE used.
Correction of part of my reply—missing word.
Approved, licensed robber-socialists (including those in government-approved and connected services) have been subduing the kind of economy that could have supported them and prevented the impending defaults.
Took a few seconds but the word “presstitutes” finally came to mind.
(Had me wondering if that lady of the evening photo were Sharyl Attkisson...for a few seconds.)
Media propaganda streaming bump for later...
We are owned.

This really is the defining issue for the beginning of the 21st century. All of the other issues like terrorism, economics and others cannot be properly managed or understood because of the disinformation and agendas.
I despise 97% of the media.
As she said-—it used to be way more subtle (but with the dumbed down masses, it doesn’t have to be anymore). Now, the masses after several generations of being in our programming, indoctrination centers and children raised in front of programming screens (artificial “life”) away from Reality from cradle to grave....
....they have NO Common Sense-—NO understanding of history——NO Wisdom (ability to discern Good and Evil) ...
....because they have had repeated Lies (Diana West) about EVERYTHING-—lies and misinformation so they literally CANNOT “think”.....it is called “cognitive dissonance” what happens when Truth/God or Facts enter their Mind.
The Mind Control-—controls over half of the population now—all Bernie and Hillary “supporters” who can’t process a coherent thought in their mushy, dehumanized brains.
Spooky.
A Harvard study claims that Donald Trump has received 67% favorable media coverage. This was reported by Danny Westneat, a dumber-than-dumb columnist for the Seattle Times. Who but an insane person would believe such utter crap?
If one wants to work as a journalist, one follows the narrative. Not to follow the narrative would lead to sure unemployment. One does not do well opposing the wishes of his/her boss(es).
So very, very true.
Well said,
The West invented this mechanism of deception, China and old soviet Russia used a club, not so here, its much more subtle and we all get in line to receive it, set our clocks by it, tivo it or whatever its called now, we never miss an episode, where obvious things if left to our own judgement we would correctly discern and reject, but not so when the images tell us all to group-think differently, good is now evil.
TV, MSM using the ‘tower of babel’ internet, Twitter feeds, smartphone alerts and on-demand YouTube news, these are all the equivalent of the images that appear to move and speak and to be alive that John wrote about in the book of Revelation. Consider: how many of us have ever seen that obama creature in person, likely all we’ve ever seen were images, where the creators of these images all call the same tune telling us he is right and just and correct. This authority is empowered by Satan and used for his deception, this ability is something that has never been possible in this prophesied manner in all the 2000 years from John until today,
What is the end goal?
Where is this going?
To cast off the bonds of God and his ownership of this Earth as we’re shown in Psalm 2, to empower what the bible warns of for the last days, that beast government system which will rise up at the time of the end to enthrone Satan,
When this event occurs, the Court shown in Daniel Chapter 7 and in Revelation Chapters 5 thru 7 will go into session to adjudicate,
Many if not most in power serve this beast now today willingly, laying the foundation for a future ‘little horn’ that Daniel was shown would rise up out of 10 kingdoms,
“I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them; Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.” Daniel 7: 21-22
Sharyl is fantastic, my new favorite reporter! I’ve tried to record her Sunday shows, and my local idiot lamestream channel(KEYE 5 Austin-see BS) has destroyed her broadcast on multiple occasions with sports overruns. I think that their FCC license should be denied. I ardently despise network tv.
