The media’s deluge of lies about the Rittenhouse case is a disturbing reminder that the corporate press lies about everything all the time.
As far as corporate media are concerned, the massacre in Waukesha, Wis., on Sunday was a “Christmas parade crash.”
That’s how the attack that killed six people and injured more than 60 others is being described by ABC News, CBS News, CNN, Newsweek and others. Not an intentional attack, not a massacre allegedly committed by a violent career criminal already facing multiple felony charges, but merely a crash. The New York Times is calling it a “tragedy.”

Here’s the thing. The next time you read an article in the New York Times or the Atlantic, watch a bit of breaking news on MSNBC or a panel on CNN, or hear a report on NPR, your default assumption should be that what you are reading, watching, or hearing is not true. Either it is an outright falsehood, a distortion of the facts, or not the whole story. That should be your posture toward literally every piece of news you consume from corporate media from now on.
There is ample justification for such a posture. It’s justified by every single major news story in recent years — the Russia collusion hoax, the origins of the pandemic, the Black Lives Matter riots, Hunter Biden’s laptop, the debate over Covid vaccines, the January 6 riot, and especially the Rittenhouse trial, to name just a few. Every one of these stories, and many more besides, were dishonestly reported by a corrupt media establishment that you should never trust again.

To the tune of the chorus to "Hitching a Ride":
Lies, lies, lies,
Nothing but lies.
Agree.
This has been my assumption since I was 16 years old. People would laugh at me, now I’m proven correct over and over.
Absolutely.
That’s pretty much my going-in position, for sure. Lies, obfuscation, misinformation, omission and total left bias. Government is good now to them because the left is in charge.
They are practiced at the art of deception.
Everything is BS until proven otherwise..................
No explanation was necessary.
They will tell certain truths if they think those truths advance The Agenda. Truths that threaten to derail The Agenda will be viciously lied about.
Only the lamestream media lies …. They are paid well for having sold their souls
They’re the gaslight media. They aren’t chartered to inform, they are chartered to persuade people of false things, for the benefit of certain elites. Also The Hill, the Washington Post, and dozens of other firms.
“The great misfortune of the twentieth Century is to have been the one in which the ideal of liberty was harnessed to the service of tyranny, the ideal of equality to the service of privilege, and all the aspirations and social forces included under the label of the "Left" enrolled in the service of impoverishment and enslavement. This immense imposture has falsified most of this century, partly through the faults of some of its greatest intellectuals. It has corrupted the language and action of politics down to tiny details of vocabulary, it has inverted the sense of morality and enthroned falsehood in the very center of human thought.”
The Flight From Truth: The Reign of Deceit in the Age of Information 1991, Random House Jean-Francois Revel
And here we are.
It is.
I was awakened about the mid 80’s. Every since then, the media was telling lies......
It may be too late for the Nation, but it won’t be too late for your daughters, I pray they come to you.
Absolutely correct.
The Beltway regulatory bureaucrats have their hooks into your job, Healthcare, kids schools, colleges, daycare, utilities, bank accounts, transportation, and even retail purchases, private land use, mortgage markets, retirement accounts, and internet activity.
Time to start the faux Metadata slight of hand. I see no other way out.
Yes, this has been my assumption for 7 years. I figured out in the 80’s that the Media was biased. But they used to be able to at least report facts. Now we can’t count on factual reporting at all.
All traced back to the Ford Pinto wired to explode with a push of the button, passed off as factual event. Ford should have dug in their heels and sued the network that did that. Now anyone can be a Ford Pinto or one of Fauci’s beagles at any time.
