“Gas Lighting” makes me think of people lighting their farts on fire 💨 and that is pretty much what the Micro Scrotum Media does…..get on TV and light their farts on fire thinking people will believe them and actually think it is worth watching.
I have said this before, I view the MSMs abuse of the narrative aka outright lying as a gift because it woke up the dragon inside me, and the thing up dragons is they are kinda grumpy if you wake them up then pissed off……..I can never go back to being blissfully ignorant and asleep.
I hoped others experience this rude awakening and by the way things look, others are definitely waking up and they are getting grumpy.
You're absolutely correct on everything, and you're metaphors and analogies are 100% spot on too, I love them!
MSM are 100% farting on fire and force everyone to smell their stench.
And yeah they woke the dragon insidee too, and the dragon will not go back to sleep now until he burned all their web of lies with his holy fire of truth!
Another thing with the sleeping dragons is that they're relatively harmless while asleep but once woken up, they could easily burn those who disturbed them, and I hope this exactly awaits MSM and DemoNrats - sleeping majority of our dragons would wake up and burn them! It's a year of the Dragon now in Chinese astrology by the way - a perfect time to unleash your inner dragon!
You're also correct that perhaps it's better for us that in their echo chambers they degraded to such unhinged and obvious lies. If they kept craftily mixing truth with lies like they had done before, they might still have fooled some big part of the public. But now - no way, and good.
I was born in the year of the dragon 🐉 …….you will like this…..a “Wood Dragon” to be exact.
One thing about dragons, you do not fuck with a dragon because they are relentless.
One specific thing that woke me up with the entire covid vaccine narrative was how they used fear…it was very visceral and people were so afraid…it was disturbing to see how it was affecting people. Here in Canada Dr Tam was so fucking blatant in her lying that it was hard to ignore and once they went from “get the first vaccine available” (admittedly I bought that line) to “get only mRNA vaccines and keep getting boosted every 3 months (yup they tried 3 months) I had to tap out and call bullshit……started actually looking into the medical mechanisms of those jabs (methyl pseudo uridine, frame shifting, IL10 and IGG4 production…..ect) I was fucking pissed…,,then friends started getting covid 2,3,4,5 times all boosted, then a friend (60) had a heart attack at work and died, then more people started getting terminal brain cancer…..and it just keeps on going.
I see it all and 100% know it is jab caused, others see nothing…..given time they will get nudged awake and boy will they be fucking mad.
Yeah, now I like you even more! But oh, since now it's also year of the Wood Green Dragon, you should have been born exactly 60 years ago? I know everything about you now then lol.
But yeah I was born in the year of the Fire Tiger, and Tigers are inborn rebels who reject any authority and injustice, and I have a fiery temper about it because I'm a Fire Tiger, which connects me to dragons lol.
And yeah COVID shit was a breaking point for me too. I could have tolerated TDS or Brexit hysteria still but with COVID they had crossed all the red lines.
Living in 'Leftist Shithole' UK here. Please can we have an exchange programme with the States? Leftists come and enjoy Marxist England and sane British people can move to the Land of the Free 🙏🏻
Sorry for my phrasing, didn't mean to insult British people and Britain, but current Lie bout regime is turning it into a shithole though sadly...
I think perhaps Trump victory might initiate this process actually - deranged Woketards would start moving to Canada and UK in droves while British and Canadian patriots might start relocating to US.
Though the better way is to defeat Trudolf and Liebour too like DemoNrats were defeated. After Trump victory Liebour and Trudolf are largely outliers.
I know Alex, I know. It's hard to see your beloved country totally sold off and trashed. It is becoming a third world shithole. Import the third world, become the third world. Most people here seem hypnotised by Marxist propaganda. I follow US politics and read a lot of American commentary and listen to podcasts and I'm totally in awe of the patriotism, common sense and sheer intelligence of the Americans I listen to and read. You honestly seem to have more perspective and grasp of reality over there. Sure, there are pockets of resistance here but everyone is poor and demoralised and hopeless. We have authoritarian government, a two tier justice system, a government goon squad for a police force - checking people's thinking and handing out speeding tickets instead of tackling crime. No one can afford anything - our energy costs are the highest in the world and the skies are invariably grey. The media pumps propaganda relentlessly. Taxes are insane and yet the roads are full of potholes and people wait years for urgent surgery. We have about 2 ships in the navy and the airforce doesn't want any white men to apply. Schools are indoctrination camps and universities are hotbeds of anti-semitism . Everything is broken. Litter and graffiti everywhere. The call to prayer from the mosques permeates every city centre. The churches are empty and the Archbishop of Canterbury was forced to resign because he covered up appalling child abuse. Our PM takes thousands of pounds in gifts - shamelessly, as do other members of the cabinet. They cover up their shady dealings and corruption with a complicit judiciary. They are destroying our landscape and wildlife with wind farms and solar arrays. Our food and everything else is imported. We make nothing. All our companies are owned by foreigners. Most of our land is owned by foreigners. We are disappearing fast.
My condolences. What you describe indeed does sound like totalitarian Orwellian dystopia, not modern liberal democracy.
But I wonder why it's so bad in UK and not as bad in US. I mean many things you described - lying propagandist media and corrupt politicians, Marxist indoctrination and pedo grooming in schools, rampant Antisemitism on campus, transing of kids, DEI agenda, etc. - all of it is present in US too. Moreover I believe all this shot came to UK and Europe from US actually. Yet US also developed a strong resistance to it while you were unable to do so, and I wonder why.
I think big part of it is that there are the whole red states in America which population largely retained its sanity while UK is far more centralized and there are no such thing as the whole conservative areas. But it's not just that because swing and even some blue states are waking up too as election had shown.
I think it's because American people ceased to believe mainstream media and started to listen to podcasts and read Substack authors more while Brits still largely rely on MSM. Another thing is that we have Trump and Republicans are at least somewhat real opposition despite corrupt RINOs while in UK Tories had become as corrupt globalist traitors as Liebour, do you don't have a meaningful opposition. Reform is hopeful but yet not enough.
Another point is Americans have guns and hence its harder to subjugate them when you don't. Also, US don't have as many Muslims as UK does, and it's important too.
And in general maybe due to American history Americans are more prone to grassroot resistance and also protests and riots. The Left had used it to their own end but now conservatives were finally able to reverse the trend and organize meaningful grassroot resistance.
Thanks! It's just my pathological curiosity I guess - I just can't leave the thing I don't understand but interested in until I get to the bottom of it. Most people usually cease trying when they don't get something straight away but I keep trying until I get to the bottom of it and develop atvleay some understanding of the issue at hand.
Good. Well I don't like even his writing though some his ideas (like little kids murdering adults in The Children of the Corn) look intriguing and promising, he didn't develop it well enough though IMO.
‘Hearts In Atlantis’ was more of a straight novel, it still had a supra-natural baseline but the gist was more romantic/nostalgia. Very readable with a kid being the protagonist.
I never thought about the Children of the Corn, I believe it was a short story (like Shawshank) and converted into a movie. After saying all that I have… spending any time with King would be awkward as he really is a goofball (IMO).
The MSM can be devastated by one thing, Money! Advertiser boycotts, just like they do the right.
A more effective way is to cut the cord. This works equally well for both sides of the political spectrum. Carriage fees from satellite and cable give the networks substantial funding. As their guaranteed funding goes down. Their voices will moderate to grab a larger market.
Just look now that Comcast is spinning off MSNBC and CNBC. Morning Joe went to meet with Trump, to broaden their audience. Rachel Maddow is taking a 5mil annual pay cut. Anderson Cooper will be facing a contract renewal in a year or two, pay cut or unemployment is coming if he doesn’t get more viewers. Fox current ratings are up, but if the ratings aren’t sustained you will see shifts in compensation there as well.
Free Market Forces Force The Snake Oil Sellers Out... Crackheads and Bad Crack Dealers can tell you all about it...Bad Crack News Peddlers shouldn't get to hang for so long...
These people are no longer journalists. What they are is paid off talk show hosts. Working for the communist regime. That's about all. Nothing like the real journalists that wanted to get the truth out and uncover corruptions. Talk shows need to be abolished by people STOP GIVING THEM ATTENTION.
Yes, the mass media lies because they can. And as long as they can, they will. But they don't care about profits as much as we think. They care more about their political agenda. The top left aren't really really stupid.
The people at CNN know that they could get a bigger audience if they lied less. The people at Disney know they could get a bigger audience if they went back to doing real entertainment instead of propaganda. But the people in charge of those institutions know that their leftist agenda is more important than money. The people who run Gillette and its ad department knew very well that the toxic masculinity ads cost them billions in profits. But nobody got fired.
As we try to take the leftist mass media down and replace it with the a right media, we need to keep that truth in our minds.
You do have a point but still, they do care of profits too. If they didn't, CNN wouldn't have been announcing massive layoffs and Comcast wouldn't have been selling MSNBC off. So, they don't only care of the agenda.
I rather think it's a balance between agenda and profit which matters. That is, Disney and CNN can allow certain profit loss for the sake of agenda but when it hits the critical number, they can't take it any longer and have to change their agenda too.
Also, it's a peer pressure and a fear to be an outlier. For example, some MSM outlets might not mind to change their agenda at this point but they're scared of being ostracized by their fellow journalists and losing their Leftist audience. So, if Comcast would set an example and sell MSNBC off indeed, it might set a precedent and many other outlets may follow this example.
All good points. No doubt the situation is complicated and different players have different motives and goals. Wouldn’t it be great if the whole mass media implodes? The left have depended on it for so long to carry all their water that they, the leftists, will themselves fall without it, I have no doubt.
Yeah, I agreed, and I'm looking forward to it. But with the rise of Substack and podcasts MSM had really become irrelevant even purely for practical reasons, even if they still were doing a good journalism. But since they aren't, they're hopefully doomed.
The Left should go down with them too - they had lost any touch with ordinary people, even their own voters. Woke college students and mentally ill trannies are the only demographics who still believe the Left, and they can't go far with those.
"... they had lost any touch with ordinary people, even their own voters..."
Exactly! I have argued many times (although no one seems to agree with me) that the by far the biggest reason for the success of the left in their Long March was their control of the mass media and their ability to create issues that they say require more and bigger government. If they lose that control of the mass media, they have nothing.
Well, it's not just media I'd say - it's also academy, NGOs and entertainment, and academy is actually am original pipeline from where all the Woke infection was spread elsewhere, but mainstream media definitely was the most influential head of the Leftist hydra.
I would include entertainment as part of the media, but, yes, academia and NGOs work for the left, as the Long March conquered them, and government itself, too. Leftists use them all.
We need to stop calling them journalists. There are no more Walter Cronkite or Barbara Walter's. I'm from an older generation who remembers journalists hadan Oath that they cherished respected and stood by. To call these people journalists is a disgrace to real truth tellers.
They also need to be thoroughly mocked, everywhere it is possible to do so. They probably won't allow anyone to ask them for examples of how Trump is the same as Hitler. I'd like to see their answers to that, but they won't provide any. So, in addition to your suggestions, I would say mock them and laugh at them. They may not care, but it will be amusing for the rest of us.
Good point, and also target them with fact-check and expose their lies like Elon Musk did on X witn Community notes. Use their own weapon against them.
MSNBC going down the tubes Boycotts don’t work over long term. What needs to happen is legal action under RICO or anti trust since they collude and conspire to deliver false information
Far left propaganda will still be around in some form because we have not very intelligent Americans that believe garbage. They still wear masks, think COVID is a "thing", the vax is safe and effective and Fauci is a true god. They think Trump is Hitler and is going to put black people back into chains and shove gays way back into the closet. They think that child pornography in schools is a great way to teach sex education to elementary students. As the saying goes "you can't fix stupid" and the left media whether MSNBC or this Youtube cretin "Destiny" take advantage of that fact.

You have assessed it accurately- 100% correct. I love your writing because you have great understanding and insight.

Most people usually cease trying when they don't get something straight away but I keep trying until I get to the bottom of it and develop atvleay some understanding of the issue at hand.
I like Stephen King’s writing but I buy every one of his books secondhand. King receives exactly $0 from my enjoyment.
Good. Well I don't like even his writing though some his ideas (like little kids murdering adults in The Children of the Corn) look intriguing and promising, he didn't develop it well enough though IMO.
‘Hearts In Atlantis’ was more of a straight novel, it still had a supra-natural baseline but the gist was more romantic/nostalgia. Very readable with a kid being the protagonist.

Didn't read Hearts In Atlantis. Was disappointed with The Stand though, and with teenage group sex in It.

Follow the money.
Yeah, I also said so - legal and financial penalties would do the job.
And Follow the Money is always a great advice!
Free Market Forces Force The Snake Oil Sellers Out... Crackheads and Bad Crack Dealers can tell you all about it...Bad Crack News Peddlers shouldn't get to hang for so long...
I heard that Comcast is putting MSNBC up for sale. This was from a recent report on FNC. If true, the meltdown may already be underway.
And perhaps Joe and Mika will be re-employed to clean bathrooms somewhere.
Do they really? Good news then, amen to that! My insights are coming true already then!
Your insights are why I follow you, Alex! 😊
Thank you, that's an honor!
I think the date is wrong for their death. It was when Covid started; and on their death bed pre 2015 in Canada for sure
What do u mean, COVID started in 2015?
Talking about the death of the Legacy Media with the Trudeau purchased media; Covid was a catalyst.
Oh yeah, agreed, same was in 2015-2016 with the rise of TDS in US and Brexit hysteria in UK.
These people are no longer journalists. What they are is paid off talk show hosts. Working for the communist regime. That's about all. Nothing like the real journalists that wanted to get the truth out and uncover corruptions. Talk shows need to be abolished by people STOP GIVING THEM ATTENTION.

MSNBC going down the tubes Boycotts don’t work over long term. What needs to happen is legal action under RICO or anti trust since they collude and conspire to deliver false information
Yeah I mentioned legal action too. Trump and RFK wanted to combat censorship at legal level as well.
But boycotts DO work though too if MSNBC ragpaper is finally going down indeed.
Yes....what is the fastest way to solve such a problem....make them no longer relevant.
Far left propaganda will still be around in some form because we have not very intelligent Americans that believe garbage.
