ransomnote: I found this video interview wide-ranging, informative and quite enjoyable to watch. In my opinion, Attkisson contributes comprehensive and detailed insights in an accessible manner not found elsewhere. The video is one hour in duration and worth every minute.

Rumble — “Virtually every piece of information that can be co-opted has been, whether it’s Wikipedia online, fact-checkers, the news,” says five-time Emmy Award-winning investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson. “This is all part of a very well-funded, well-organized landscape that dictates and slants the information they want us to have.”

Attkisson is the host of Full Measure and author of “Slanted: How the News Media Taught Us to Love Censorship and Hate Journalism.”

At the linked below, next to the date of the article, Dr. Mercola a link to a downloadable PDF of his excellent analysis of this interview. Mercola has asked that his articles not be posted to FR.

How Fact Checking Is Controlled and Faked (mercola.com)

I think Mercola will delete that link and with it, his PDF analysis in 11 hours, per his policy resulting from the persectuion he receives for his excellent work.

Fine interview,been doing all of it since the beginning of this disaster,first person who blew the whistle on Fauci and what,where and how this virus came about was Dr. Judy Mikovits.
Listened to her explaining all of it from the VERY beginning,before any shutdowns or anyone ever heard of this Corona virus,I saved the interview on my kindle, when I wanted to show my son the next day,it would not play.
Look at the Video Pandemic,lot of good info there.
One question not explored in all of this manipulation of this disaster is WHY!

For you to make the claim that “the fact checkers exposure (sic) her disinformation.”, you must provide an example of her disinformation that the “fact checkers” have “exposured”.

This is very good. You should all watch it. Try to speed it up, they speak a bit too slowly. But its good information.

No, but you can do your own research. She is notorious for giving anti-vaxxers exposure even when fact checkers have shown that the claims of those anti-vaxxers are spurious. For example, her support of vaccines cause autism proponents.

Those spreading the anti-vaxxer propaganda are the ones with issues.

And, I didn’t think you’d bother doing your own research.

You are not capable of making a coherent argument.

I will be making it a point to expose you and your ignorance.

biden proved the kung flu is a scam when he opened our southern border and spread over 2 million nondocumented invaders across our country during a supposed “global pandemic” while the centers for disease control and world health organization silently sit back and watch...

Any one who want’s to know how this works today
can read about how it worked before the internet.
Read Arnaud De Borchgrave’s The Spike.

I remember growing up and thinking the media was truthful
but then I remember when we thought doctors were the
high priests of medicine too.

Good book. I met him once at some conference back in the 1980s.
