“Food” for thought this morning via Emerald Robinson’s substack:

Fox News & Newsmax Took Biden Money To Push Deadly COVID Vaccines To Its Viewers
Corporate news outlets did not disclose the money they took to push dangerous drugs to their conservative audience

https://emeralddb3.substack.com/p/fox-news-and-newsmax-took-biden-money?s=r

From link (entire article so you don’t have to click):

Two days ago, Chris Pandolfo at Blaze Media revealed that his media organization had filed FOIA requests regarding the Biden Administration’s covert funding of the deadly new vaccines and the American corporate media. What they discovered will certainly shock you — and it’s a crucial story that our corrupt media will work hard to make the least covered and least discussed news story of the year.

What did Chris Pandolfo find? He discovered that nearly the entire corporate media took money from the Biden Administration to push the vaccines to their audiences without disclosing it. More importantly, so-called “conservative” media organizations took money from the Biden Administration to spin positive stories about deadly and ineffective vaccines to their conservative viwers who were right to be suspicious — and did not disclose it.

Fox News took the money and said nothing to its conservative viewers.

Newsmax took the money and said nothing to its conservative viewers.

In response to a FOIA request filed by TheBlaze, HHS revealed that it purchased advertising from major news networks including ABC, CBS, and NBC, as well as cable TV news stations Fox News, CNN, and MSNBC, legacy media publications including the New York Post, the Los Angeles Times, and the Washington Post, digital media companies like BuzzFeed News and Newsmax, and hundreds of local newspapers and TV stations. These outlets were collectively responsible for publishing countless articles and video segments regarding the vaccine that were nearly uniformly positive about the vaccine in terms of both its efficacy and safety.

That is the largest and most comprehensive breach of journalistic ethics that has ever occurred. Almost everybody took the money. Almost everybody lied about the vaccines (knowingly or unknowingly). Almost everybody refused to report anything negative about the vaccines — because they were paid to close their eyes. Almost everybody is implicated.

Now that the new COVID vaccines have been shown to be not only dangerous and ineffective but highly dangerous, the American public would naturally expect the American news media to do some investigation into the biggest medical experiment in the history of the world. That’s not going to happen. The American corporate media has been paid off by the Biden Administration, and so they’re running Ukraine war footage 24/7 in the hope that the American public will forget the last two years of media-manufactured COVID mania.

Let me add some personal details to the largest corporate media scandal of the year: I have been contacted by a whistleblower inside Newsmax who has confirmed the broad details of this story. That insider confirms: Newsmax executives agreed to take the money from Biden’s Health and Human Services (HHS) to push only positive coverage of the new COVID vaccines.

Let me add another personal detail: I was contacted by top Newsmax executives and told to halt any negative coverage of the vaccines in 2021. I was told that “it was problematic” for Newsmax. I was given some version of this warning multiple times by multiple executives. Obviously, I did not heed their advice.

Of course, almost everyone else employed in the corporate media did keep their mouths shut. I discussed the outright ban on negative vaccine coverage with other Newsmax producers and top anchors at the time, and they were aware that they could not provide negative coverage of the news vaccines without repercussions from the network. I was contacted by PR experts who worked with Newsmax and was told that medical experts and doctors who might say negative things about the new vaccines would not be booked as guests at all.

In other words, the Biden Administration’s money did not just pay for pro-vaccine advertising at outlets like Fox and Newsmax: it paid for an outright ban on any negative coverage. There’s a word for that kind of thing, and the word is: propaganda. Corporate news executives with no medical training and no expertise began to make ludicrous announcements that were basically blanket endorsements of the deadly and untested vaccines. Pandolfo decribes this propaganda:

Other publications, such as the Los Angeles Times, featured advice from experts on how readers could convince vaccine-hesitant people in their lives to change their minds. The Washington Post covered “the pro-vaccine messages people want to hear.” Newsmax has reported how the vaccines have “been demonstrated to be safe and effective” and “encouraged citizens, especially those at risk, to get immunized.”

HHS did not immediately respond when asked if the agency used taxpayer dollars to pay for people to be interviewed, or for a PR firm to place them in interviews with news outlets.

Newsmax CEO Chris Ruddy even wrote an op-ed to celebrate Joe Biden’s vaccine rollout and praise Biden’s high poll numbers. This op-ed was basically a personal plea for the American public to take medical advice from a news organization that was secretly taking money from the Biden Administration to say positive things about dangerous drugs. “At Newsmax, we have strongly advocated for the public to be vaccinated. The many medical experts who have appeared on our network have been near unanimous in support of the vaccine,” Ruddy said. “I myself have gotten the Pfizer vaccine. There’s no question in my mind, countless lives would have been saved if the vaccine was available earlier.”

Meanwhile, Fox News executive are continuing to enforce vaccinbe mandates with their own employees — even though the mandates have been halted by the courts. Fox is even offering $500 to any employee, right now, who proves they got the jab.

We have just lived through the most extensive propaganda campaign in the history of the world and it was paid for with taxpayer dollars. You paid for it. I paid for it. We will probably never know how much money was spent because, according to a source familiar with the FOIAs, the Biden Administration won’t release the amounts under their “trade secrets” exemption.

I’ve been telling people for the last two years that, when the truth comes out about the deadly COVID vaccines, it will topple the American corporate media.

Now you know what I was talking about.

Couple of comments here:

First of all, this is a “do not miss” interview with Edward Dowd, IMO. If you want to see the “why” in what he’s doing, it’s ear the end ... minute 56+

Next ... the last 2 years have made for “strange bedfellows” so to speak. I’m MAGA, a person of deep faith, very conservative, PRO-2A big time, anti-killing babies at ANY time. I believe there are men and women - period. I believe they each have a role to play. I do not consider myself a “feminist” although I think women have more to offer than being barefoot & in the kitchen; however, I think the greatest & most important job a woman (and man) can do is parent/raise their kids.

That being said, I have found some people on the “Left” that are reasonable, will actually “discuss” things, love this country and are patriots - not your usually TDS/demented, let’s-turn-America-socialists fascist types. In particular, Dr. Naomi Wolf & the DarkHorse podcasters Dr. Heather Heying & Dr. Brett Weinstein I have found are worth listening to - all of them (plus Dr. Malone & others) appear to be discovering that their political “home” seems to be shifting ‘right’ & not without some speed. When Dr. Wolf first appeared on War Room, I was thinking “what the heck is Steve doing talking to HER?” Boy, was I surprised and I’m eating humble pie where she’s concerned. Do I agree with everything these folks say? No I do not .... same as I don’t agree 100% with PDJT all the time either.

Anyway, here’s the interview Naomi did with Edward Dowd - I’ve heard most if not all of Ed’s interviews & this one is particularly in-depth:

Edward Dowd Explains Bombshell ‘Fraud’ Charge re Pfizer Hiding Deaths Data
https://rumble.com/vwfu7j-edward-dowd-explains-bombshell-fraud-charge-re-pfizer-hiding-deaths-data.html

PS - Pfizer whistle blower is ‘out’ & talking loudly - previously ‘gagged’ by court order due to a lawsuit. She currently has a Federal lawsuit going against her former employer Ventavia who ran clinical trials (where fraud occurred) for Pfizer. I believe Pfizer is named in the lawsuit as well. Her name is Brook Jackson. On GETTR, she is IamBrookJackson

Guest anchor Shannon Bream IS NOT THE ONE...

So far the best fill-in anchor was Dana Perino...

FoxNews needs to give Stephen Miller a try. The job required smart, quick, with a good memory and a framework to hang new information.

Here’s my final conclusion. I’m not “for” Russia. I’ll never be a fan of Putin. He’s out for only himself and a new dominant Russian empire. I’m not telling you to take Russia’s side. They are “bad guys.”

But I know if Soros is behind Ukraine, then Ukraine is also a “bad guy.” If Soros wants us involved, I know this war is not in America’s best interest. I know the media is feeding us a load of lies and propaganda- under Soros’ direction.

Yep. Settled it for me yesterday. Did some research based on verifiable links here on FR yesterday. I've been persuaded. As I suspected, there are no good guys in this, at least now I fully understand why.

Meanwhile the unionized commie teachers are at it again:
its a slow but steady takeover of kids with parents in the background if at all. its here:
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2022/03/in_wisconsin_a_fight_over_whether_children_belong_to_the_state_or_the_parents.html

In 1991, the European release of Zero Wing, a Sega video game, contained a now-classic badly translated phrase: “All your base are belong to us.” In the massive battle shaping up across America, public school districts are metaphorically carrying a banner saying “All your children are belong to us” in their battle against parents over children’s gender (not to mention racial issues). What’s happening in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, exemplifies this battle and can be summed up in a sentence from a staff training session: “[P]arents are not entitled to know their kids’ [gender] identities. That knowledge must be earned.”

That arrogant message came from a “professional development facilitator guide” that was used in the school district at a staff development session:

“Teachers are often straddling this complex situation. In ECASD, our priority is supporting the student,” the professional development facilitator guide states. Teachers were encouraged to “Talk amongst yourselves!”

The lesson — that teachers know better than parents about what is best for their kids — is not sitting well with some community members.
