Sunday Was the Day When Real News Ceased to Exist
DBDailyUpdate ^ | David Blackmon

Posted on 01/21/2019 6:16:05 AM PST by EyesOfTX

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends)

The fake news appears to be undergoing a “quickening”, to borrow a phrase. As the fake journalists a the nation’s major media outlets carry out their increasingly frenzied efforts to carry water for the Democrats, the presence of anything remotely resembling real “news” reporting on the nation’s airwaves becomes little more than passing memories of a previous generation.

On Sunday, pretty much the entirety of the establishment news media focused almost exclusively on two stories that fake reporters had simply invented: a) the Buzzfeed report that claimed President Donald Trump had ordered his former attorney Michael Cohen to lie to congress and the Special Counsel’s office about a planned high-rise tower project in Moscow, and b) a completely manufactured story containing no news value whatsoever about some kids from a Catholic school on field trip to D.C. allegedly taunting an elderly Indian while wearing MAGA caps.

We talked here about the Buzzfeed fake story, which was debunked with 24 hours of its publication by the Special Counsel’s office itself, on Saturday. So no need to linger there any longer, other than to point out that he story’s author and a Buzzfeed editor were given free air time by CNN’s Brian Stelter to continue their outright libeling of a sitting POTUS on Sunday. I refuse to use the names of these killers of real news here just as I refuse to use the names of mass murderers, and for similar reasons.

This story about the “taunting” of the elderly American Indian man and the Catholic high school kids may well be the literal end of the final few clinging shreds of the thing the journalism profession used to refer to as “ethics.”

There is literally zero reason for this non-violent confrontation to have become a “news” story in the first place, other than the predominant news media’s hatred of and bias against President Trump and anyone who expresses their support of him. The entire thing was obviously staged, as the old man, banging a drum, basically assaulted a group of minors, some of whom he noticed were wearing red MAGA caps, inserting himself into their midst unprovoked and invading their personal space and taunting them until a couple of them began taunting back.

The entire video recording of the incident was several minutes long, yet the anti-Trump, anti-Catholic, and lets’ be honest, anti-American amen chorus in the fake mainstream news media focused all day long on just the few seconds in which one teen in particular responded back at the old jackass and made some nasty faces at him. Within minutes, the snippet of tape was up on CNN and MSNBC and being trumpeted by basically all of the despicable creeps who infest the hallways of those places as an example of how the bad Orange Man in the White House and private Catholic schools are turning the nation’s children into a pack of racist thugs.

Never one to be left out of a good old fake news frenzy, the New York Times weighed in within a couple of hours with a headline screaming “Boys in ‘Make America Great Again’ Hats Mob Native Elder at Indigenous Peoples’ March”. Breathtaking.

Later in the day, desperate to avoid being named in the libel lawsuits that are sure to come out of this, the fake editors at the fake newspaper issued a second headline that reads “Fuller Picture Emerges of Viral Video Between Native American Man and Catholic Students.”

Oh. You don’t say.

A better, more accurate headline published by a real, honest newspaper would have read something more like “Entirety of National News Media, Without Evidence, Knee Jerks to a False Portrayal of Meaningless Confrontation,” because that’s what actually happened.

The confrontation itself was meaningless and not in any way a real “news” story at all. Minor confrontations between agitators like the old man and people who are minding their own business take place all across America every day and no one puts them on the nightly news because they aren’t actually news.

But the fake news creeps in our fake news media jumped all over this one because of one simple fact: It could be falsely portrayed to fit into the their false narratives about the President and private Catholic schools, which they all detest. And so, they all, with one voice directed by Democrat Party talking points, dedicated an entire day to libeling a bunch of 15 and 16 year-old kids who had clearly been assaulted by an old man who was determined to provoke an incident.

If you don’t believe by now that the news-fakers at CNN, MSNBC, the New York Times, the Washington Post, the AP, CBS, ABC, NBC and all the rest of the grand pantheon of fake news outlets in America truly are the enemies of the people, then you really need to pay closer attention here, because you have lost touch with our reality in America today.

There is no such thing as real news anymore. It’s all just a narrative.

That is all.

I’ve quit watching all of it.

No Fox, nothing. No opinion either. No Hannity, no Tucker, no Laura, no late night blond babe who has Chris Stirewalt on every night for some reason. Nothing.

If I want news, it will come from the radio or the internet and nowhere else.

Everyone else is fired, and their position have been eliminated and will not be refilled.

Notice how 18 hours after the full video was available is the MSM reporting on it. Because they had to vet it of course. However, they did not have to vet the original reports.

Also how about some outrage by the virtue-signalling GOP-E that jumped on this story about the racist terms and abuse heaped by the Black Muslims, sorry, Black Israelites?

Well, these people were not very trustworthy either back in the day. Basically doing the DNC's work against Nixon and Agnew.

I’ve been watching a lot of Ben Shapiro, Jordan Peterson, Rubin, Milo, et al. on YouTube lately. They raise the political discourse MILES above where it’s at currently. I do wish they would formalize their extended group into an organization though.

Journalists are now activists with a massive stage, educated by anti-American socialists. If there were systematic investigations of media, corruption, blackmail, bribery, and payoffs would be revealed beyond anything we have ever seen.

I’m sickened to note that I know the full name of everyone in this picture without even struggling to recall like is normal at my age. Maybe that’s testament to how they dominated the air waves when I was growing up.

I also note that the lead CREEP was a graduate of my alma mater (UT Austin) and old dan lives in Texas or did! If he’s still here, I’ll support Abbott in deporting him.

Reminds me of the time Nanzi and a bunch of minority RATs went marching past a Tea Party protest. The narrative was already pre written and when the crowd failed to get ugly like they wanted they just lied and said they did anyway. Andrew Brietbart did such a good job of exposing the scam that I have little doubt that is why he conveniently died soon after.

On a happy note, they haven't been sent to re-education facilities.....yet.

Here is a video of the entire incident (starting at 1 hour 20 minutes of a 1 hour 46 minute recording), made by a group of 5 Black nationalists who were filming themselves shouting vulgar insults, at a distance, at the 100+ high school kids who were just standing at the Lincoln Memorial, waiting for their bus:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?=t3EC1_gcr34&feature=youtu.be

In other words, the 5 Blacks had been insulting and taunting the teenagers, who just shouted back at a distance of about 100 ft, and suddenly a guy with a drum walks right into the crowd, banging a drum in their faces. They did not know what was going on, and in the confusion some person decided to make up a trumped-up video.

Incidentally, the guy with a drum is a paid actor, know for having been involved in previous filming of provocative events. The entire thing was a propaganda setup.

Our mass media is literally no better then Nazi and Communist propaganda.

No that started during the campaign when Trump stated he wanted to deport all ten million illegals and their anchor babies. Thats also when the fbi hatched their plot to spy on Trump. Deportations are the key to all of this. Start mass deportations and you will flush out all the resistance

I agree. When I attended Arizona State University in the late 60s, I took a course in mass communications and journalism, ironically from the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism at ASU, in which we were told journalists and reporters were supposed to be "objective" in their jobs. Ha!

Fast-forward to today and "subjectivity" to the extreme is the media's calling card.

People like Blackmon, whom I usually like but disagree with this time, thinks the news died just this recent Sunday but, truth be told, objective news died a long time ago. It was just not as easy to see back when the likes of Walter Cronkite, Chet Huntley, David Brinkley, Edward R. Murrow, et. al. were the news and anchor stars of the day.

That's because they were are only source of news. Cronkite was a big liberal but because he basically had no competition as such, he was well-respected and believable. Little did we know.

With the advent of 24/7 cable TV news networks, the competition for "news" has increased to a point where it is not real news anymore. It is fake news, false reporting, fabricated stories, manipulated videos, etc. to match the agenda and narrative of the democRATS.

The American people have access to more information on the internet than ever before and they can see the fakery that the organized news networks and press have been hiding from them for decades.

One of the side advantages of Trump winning the presidency, is that he has mocked and trolled the media for their fake reporting. As a result, he has lured the cockroaches out into the sunlight where they expose themselves for the propaganda and publicity arms of the democRATS they actually are.

Personally, I stopped watching any TV news or reading any printed newspaper or magazine news several years ago, right after Trump won the Republican nomination. Because I could see that I was wasting my time absorbing falsehoods that this liberally-biased media was presenting to me as news.

So what you are saying is that we have the broadcast media of a totalitarian state, without bothering to have the totalitarian state first.

It used to be fear of physical harm was the tool that the totalitarians used to enforce compliance.

Now they enforce compliance by social shaming. Without needing to ship them to a labor camp.

For now.

The saddest aspect of the title of this story shows the writer does not understand that real news never existed. News is always biased in some way, from what is reported in the first place, how it is reported, what information is included and what information is purposely excluded.

Real news never existed and the internet has proven this to be true. Everyone thought Walter Cronkite was the most trusted name in news. Problem was no one fact checked him. Cronkite was a leftist and presented the news as a leftist. We now know this because we can independently fact check using other information sources.
