The LA Times Is Literally Testing Out Fake News to See How They Can Gaslight People Into Hating Donald Trump
The Liberty Daily ^ | 8/8/2022 | J.D. Rucker

Posted on 08/08/2022 7:56:28 AM PDT by Beave Meister

One of the funniest things to witness in corporate media is when they take themselves so seriously, that they don’t realize just how comical they actually are. The latest episode of “Corporate Media’s Trump Derangement Syndrome in Action” comes from the Los Angeles Times.

In a story titled, Here’s one factor that might peel Trump’s diehard supporters away, they tested out fake news stories purportedly published by either leftist Politico or right-leaning Breitbart. The stories about Trump were manufactured to see how Trump supporters would react to reading propaganda that painted him in a negative light.

Everything coming out of the far left RAT “media” these days are lies and fake news. I don’t believe a thing I read anymore. I scan over everything looking for tidbits of truth. I very seldom find any. It’s just the way the far left RATS are.

Time for Trumps lawyers to monitor this bs for defamation of character and slander.

This is why this 1888 political cartoon from Puck, an American political satire magazine, is still valid in 2022:

So, our Fourth Estate is actively experimenting with Mass Formation Psychosis.

There are no moral guardrails for Leftists.

There is nothing mainstream about the Ministry of Propaganda.

We need to start calling the fake news what it is.
Propaganda!

Dick Cheney should be in jail. He broke the law, Smith-Mundt act of 1948, when he and Bush used propaganda on the American public about Iraq. The law was ‘adjusted’ in 2013 in a bipartisan stealth move and signed by Obama so they could legally propagandize on our own soil.

The entire Jan. 6 fiasco is to cover the crimes of swamp rats like the Cheney’s, Bush’s, Obama’s and Bidens.

How did we come to inhabit a society in which the government itself continually carries out psyops against the populace including Donald Trump, the president?

Propaganda by the Biden Administration is LEGAL - Stealth 2013 law signed by Obama!

It's not psychosis, it's both Affinity and Authority Bias.

Basically, people tend to be drawn to things that are similar to them, e.g. leftists in cities tend to be friends with leftists in cities, and people tend to trust authority figures, e.g. The left laps up The NY Times.

All this study showed, was conservatives tend to trust Breitbart stories.

Breitbart's website has started becoming a little too sensational, and I've found enough errors or inconsistencies where I have to do my own fact checking. That said, Breitbart is waaaaay better than the reigning dung heaps that are American Thinker and Gateway Pundit.

The bottom line, is just because someone in authority says they are for Trump doesn't mean you should like them OR trust them. Being your own man or woman always wins the day.

Paraphrasing: The MSM continue to do what they’ve been doing for the last 5 years.

Their pathological hatred has made them mentally ill.

Get ready; the MSM and the Dems are going to try to take down America. The last thing they want is an election in November where the Conservatives will gain control. Dems have not slowed down their schemes and legislation to destroy the economy and are not worried about the Republicans taking control of the House and Senate. May be a surprise to even have an election in November.

As Trump has often said, “they’re not after me, they’re after you”

You must trust the LA Times and the MSM far more than I do.

This experimentation, while utilizing affinity and authority biases, is designed to a purpose: Gaslighting the American people into accepting socialist tyranny.

There is no need for The L.A. Times to benchmark other Fake News sources. I can save you the time. Lying about Donald Trump hasn't worked since 2015.
Those who didn't like him then, don't like him now. Pretty simple.
Trump / Noem 2024.

There’s a word for it - PROPAGANDA. The Nazi’s would be proud of these traitors.

I don't trust the LA Times or MSM at all. Parenthetically, didja ever notice how many MSM articles are posted on FR?

I also don't trust American Thinker or Gateway Pundit at all. They weaponize Affinity Bias, yet their failures at basic due diligence elevates the suspicion that they're leftist fronts designed to make Deplorables look stupid.

Breitbart gets it right more often than not, but not with enough authority where they get a pass.

Indeed, anyone armed with a browser can fact-check in 5 min. It's not hard work, but it it requires a dedication to self-preservation that is lacking in many circles nowadays.
