...if it isn’t reported on CNN...it didn’t happen!


An interesting side note: We gave our dvd copy of Newsies to my daughter over ten years ago. We just got the blue ray version and watched it a few weeks ago.

At one point, the newsies are striking against the papers but they can get no traction because the papers are not covering it. Their friend who is a reporter for a small papers sez to them: “If the papers don’t report it, it didn’t happen.”

In the end the find an old printing press and print up thousands of one page copies of an article reporting the story. And the good guys win.

Today, that one page article’s equivalent is the internet blogs and other sites telling us what CNN and the NYT won’t.

It’s making a difference.

You’re quite correct, it is making a difference and it has made a big difference.

That’s why the Progressives, who I believe to be more like Fascists, will find ways to muzzle the internet blogs and independent news sites. They absolutely must and have to control the narrative! Its what they have. The narrative, the language used in that narrative and the double speak are their primary weapons.
