"Our alphabet media are pure propaganda outlets, serving their corporate masters who are serving the deep state.

Treat them no differently than you would Russian RT, TASS or China People’s Daily for information. They will have a lot of true information, but a lot of untrue information as well. The key is the narrative they are promoting."

What really can the President do to make more people aware of this ruinous, nationally destructive media?

WHY isn't there an effort to create a new NEWS OUTLET with the honest news?

OANN is great, but they are not seen by many.

To: a little elbow grease

1946


“A community is low on a ‘Respect’ scale if common courtesy is withheld from large groups of people on account of their political attitudes.”

“...in a downright despotism opposition is dangerous whether the despotism is official or whether it is unofficial...”

“A community rates low on the ‘Information’ scale when the press, radio, and other channels of communication are controlled by only a few people and when citizens have to accept what they are told.”

“See how a community trains its teachers”
“...these students are being taught to accept uncritically whatever they are told. Questions are not encouraged.”

“And if books and newspapers and the radio [and facebook and youtube and...] are officially controlled the people will read and accept exactly what the few in control want them to. Government censorship is one form of control. The newspaper that breaks the government censorship rule can be suspended. It is also possible for newspapers and other lines of communication to be controlled by private interests...”

Democracy (Encyclopedia Britannica film, circa 1946)

“The newspapers of a real democracy meet these tests...”

Newspaper checks.
1. Balance of coverage
2. Disclosure of source
3. Competence of staff

Tweet. And tweet more.

The press squeal like stuck pigs every time that he takes a shot at them, so even people who don’t follow him on twitter get to hear what he says.
