Media Collapse is Inevitable, and it's a Good Morning in America! Part VII, Fake News

It the Pravda Media didn't have fake news, it wouldn't have any news at all, and America would have blessed silence.

On Tuesday, February 25, 2025, Daniel Greenfield published this article, Media Still Doesn’t Understand That Nobody Trusts It, saying: 

“The White House Correspondents Association says the public can no longer trust pool reports now”

And the AP thought we trusted what came out of their media pool before this?  That's what happens when people live in an echo chamber of nitwits.  He goes on to show just how out of touch the media is noting that even Democrats have little trust in the Pravda media and concludes saying, "The media has yet to grasp the fundamental fact that the public, with complete justice, distrusts it." 

The reason the media lacks trust is because they've been caught lying.  The list of fake news items by the Pravda media, both print and electronic, is legion!  This list is just the tip of the iceberg, and the media has much to answer for.

Let's start with their lies regarding covid.  The media spewed out totally irrational and unfounded fears over a drug that's been on the market for human use for decades, calling it a "horse" drug, Ivermectin.  But now it's been confirmed what many of us believed from the beginning that Ivermectin successfully treats covid in spite of all the media's lies.  Lies all in order to support the tyranny the left imposed on the nation in an attempt to force everyone to get these ineffective false vaccines, here, here, and here.  How many people died unnecessarily for being deprived of Ivermectin? How many have died from the adverse reactions as a result of getting these shots?  The number is massive and will continue to grow, and will dwarf the Thalidomide scandal that shocked the world.  How many more will die or suffer negative physical consequences over the coming years as a result of taking these shot?  

The California wildfires show blatant mainstream media failure, but it was in reality the same old tactic they've been using forever.  Blame someone else other than the nitwit leftists who are responsible, and of course, it was Trump's fault, after all, Democrats are incapable of doing anything wrong, incompetent, or just downright stupid.  If you live in an alternative universe.  Later when the hysteria dies down, maybe they'll report the facts, buried on page ten in the newspapers, and a ten second statement on television.  Maybe! Make no mistake, if this was a Republican administration the media would have been ranting and screaming for their scalps everyday.   Well, hello Hollywood, it's the Democrats fault, and since all there Trump Derangement Syndrome rants have fails, they can't find enough fingers to point at each other.   Newsome blamed Bass, Bass blamed her fire chief, and yet they all knew about those risks and not only did nothing to minimize those risks, they deliberately maximized those risks with their policies.  And the media never noticed.

L.A. Councilwoman on Bass Firing Chief: We All Knew About Fire Risks, Budget Cuts ‘Led to Operational Impacts’

When a black is fired for any reason we know.... absolutely know..... it's racism, competence notwithstanding.  Why?  Because Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff was going to be fired because he was a committed racist who claims how hard his life was because he's black.  Yet he managed to become a four start general.  How many attain that rank?  Darned few.  How many whites or Asians attain that rank? Darned few.  Yet he managed to get there, so maybe being black is what got him promoted?  Waddayathink? 

 

The reason Brown was fired is because he was a racist. 

 

"Brown disgraced himself and his uniform during the Black Lives Matter race riots by releasing a video in which he “seemed to barely contain his rage” while ranting “that the ideals of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution ‘that I’ve sworn my adult life to support and defend’ have not always delivered ‘liberty and equality’ to all.” More disturbingly, he had signed his name to a report proposing quotas to make white male officers a minority......

 

Then we come to immigration, and it's clear as a bell to the media any effort at mass deportation of illegal migrants a racist purge.  How about they're being deported because they're criminals?   And no, Trump did not cancel the Tuskegee Airmen.

There's no end to their fakery, as in deception, fraud, cheating, lying, dissimulation, and dissembling.   Illinois Governor Pritzker, a real loon with an amazing lack of credibility to any sane person, was in support of the false claim by Chicago Public Schools (CPS) that ICE agents raided a school.  Reality?  "It wasn’t ICE. 

 

It was agents from the Secret Service investigating a threat at the school."  But hey, C'mon man, what do facts have to do with news?  

 

And what was the reaction to an Afghan stabbing in Michigan? Welcome more of the same.  Not outrage over the growing violence Muslims are bringing to America, nooooooo, the answer is we need more Muslims who come from violent and irrational societies that hate America, Christians, Jews, Democracy, and western civilization as a whole.  What could possibly go wrong?  As long as we understand none of that causes Muslim terrorism.   No sir, the real answer is it's being caused by MAGA induced toxic masculinity!   It's Trump's fault.  

Besides, it appears the media likes criminals.  Why else would they claim that Mexican drug cartels who are making billions selling illegal drugs, raping and killing women and children, things would be made worse if Trump uses special forces to go after them? What made it happen in the first place was Joe Biden's open borders policies, and the leftist Democrat prosecutors and judges who turned violent criminals loose. 

 

But the media knows it's really all Trump's fault.  Even though this has exploded over the last four years under Joe Biden, and Trump has only been back as President in a little over thirty days, it's still Trump's fault.  I mean....C'mon man, who can find fault with that kind logic?  

 

They went after Pete Hegseth like rabid dogs, repeating known lies, as GOP Sen. Bill Hagerty says, this isn't journalism, it's propaganda.  But why is anyone shocked?  The leftist media has been the stenographers for the Democrat party for over 100 years, but now the alternative media is ascendant, and it's all changing. The Pravda media with it's propaganda is in trouble.

 

Fear mongering is now, and has always been, the rule for the press.  If it bleeds it leads, and the New York Times, the, "all the news that's fit to print", newspaper oozes with fear mongering.  I really love the media's take on economics, and big government.  Did you know that if Trump dumps thousands of needless, expensive and incompetent government bureaucrats it will hurt the economy?  Interesting take from a group of people who because of implementation of the tyrannical schemes by the government regarding covid, over 20 million jobs were lost.  And they thought that was just fine and dandy.  

1.  Media disseminates fear porn over Trump’s federal downsizing February 24, 2025 by Jack Hellner Here is an absolutely unbelievable (yet humorous) story being spread by the media to scare the public.
2.  Trump restores oversight, and media decries ‘wrecking ball’ politics February 21, 2025 by Olivia Murray Yet, they were conspicuously silent as Biden and his cronies went nuclear.

Part and parcel of all the lies, obfuscation, logical fallacies, and misdirection by the media has been the fact checkers, who are upset that fact checkers are being being dumped by Zuckerberg.  As Roger Pielke Jr. states, Goodbye and Good Riddance to Meta Fact-Checking.  Of course not all feel that way.  PolitiFact, "a disgraced, fake, far-left, unofficial propaganda arm of the Democrat party, is already melting down over the bombshell news Tuesday that Facebook will no longer allow them or any of the media’s fake fact-checkers to censor and blacklist conservative opinions."

 

Trump has kicked out of his first cabinet meeting Reuters and HuffPost. Why? I have no idea, but I think this just an object lesson letting these big ego media types know who's in charge, but I wonder why any of the media is allowed in cabinet meetings.  To hear the whining from them you would think Trump is destroying the freedom of speech by sidelining the press how, where, who, and when he sees fit.   Yet he's answered seven times more questions than addle brained Joe Biden. And they could be understood.  

Imagine that!
