The same technology that allows an incredible new level of free expression of our ideas also creates the potential for new levels of suppression and manipulation of information
The Joe Biden campaign and the media giants that try to pose as sole arbiters of reality are now, in a de facto way, pushing their propagandizing to a new level.
By quiet acceptance of the Biden assertion that he’ll tell us his views on court-packing and Supreme Court AFTER he is elected, his supportive media are in effect telling us that we should only question and vet non-Democrats because Democrats are the only and always acceptable political leaders, beyond questioning or criticizing.
Out of control media propagandists
We’re seeing the out of control media propagandists assuming on us a new level of trust for them, in their continuing efforts to have us all believe that the only “truth” is the Democrat-created and perpetrated “reality” they prepare for us.
Accompanying their believe-only-us approach to media is the corresponding implication that anything contrary to the dominant liberal media is fake news and derived from bogus conspiracy theories.
A growing number of disaffected journalists are leaving the Democrat-approved corporate media to find other ways, digitally (on social media and their own websites/portals) and in print.
That leaves a tremendous responsibility to the non-indoctrinated rest of us. While there will always be purveyors of false news we need to avoid, it’s important to support and promote the legitimate up-and-coming media that arose from a rejection of the Democrat propaganda approach to news and information as modeled by the New York Times, Washington Post (Amazon), CNN (AT&T), NBC family (Comcast), ABC/Disney/ESPN, and CBS owned networks.
And while multimillion dollar social media and online media corporations continue to try new and more effective ways to control (censor) what we see, we need to confront them and their biased manipulations whenever possible.
The same technology that allows an incredible new level of free expression of our ideas also creates the potential for new levels of suppression and manipulation of information by those who would misuse the technology. We must continue to resist those who would misuse it, and see that a free press and freedom of expression remain in our nation for many generations to come.
