Journalism is in crisis and so is democracy
One of the great eyeopeners of the current Covid 19 “crisis” for those of us who still care is the absolute lack of integrity of corporate mainstream media in all Western countries. There seems to be a determination to shape and mould the news to fit a narrative, regardless of …
When Thinking Becomes An Act of Rebellion
The New York Times recently took time out to ridicule people who questioned the official narrative about Covid-19. I am one of those people and I don’t give a flying frog’s leg for the NYT’s opinion. This is the same publication that clings to the Trump/Russia collusion delusion and has …
MSM dying by its own hand
Mainstream media stenographers masquerading as journalists have been furiously clinging to the belief that it was Russia that hacked the DNC server and distributed Hillary Clinton’s emails to WikiLeaks. This is despite the Forensic analysis conducted by the former technical director of the NSA William Binney and other technical experts …
Is your news simply a narrative?
Somebody once said that history is written by the winners. A similar saying could be applied to the news. In effect the news as reported by the mainstream legacy media is told by those that control the flow of information. It is very rare to get the full picture from …
Pathetic, Conflicted and Corrupted: Welcome to Fake News
Regular readers will know that I have a deep abiding mistrust of “mainstream” media, it’s sources and the narratives it runs. It wasn’t always that way. For much of my life I’ve had a deep respect for many news institutions. That respect has gradually ebbed away as the MSM has …
What Purpose Does Alex Jones Serve?
Who Is Alex Jones? I like Alex Jones – he makes me laugh is kind of like saying I buy Playboy for the articles. But Alex Jones does make me laugh. I suppose that could offend both his critics and his fans. Sorry – I can’t help it. I simply …
Disturbing Questions About the Independence of Mainstream Media
Aside from confirming the web of lies spun by the establishment, a series of apparently unconnected events, largely under reported by mainstream media raise some very disturbing questions. The events in question are -: Comical discredited “spook” Christopher Steele’s admission in a British court that the infamous Russian dossier used …
What is going on in Paris & why won’t the media show you?
Despite the media’s best efforts to ignore the situation, it is obvious that Emmanuel Macron is in deep shit and it is all of his own making. This arrogant little twerp who is alleged to have proclaimed himself to be Jupiter has lost the people of France and his reactionary …
Julian Assange, Barnaby Joyce & Australian Journalism Lessons in Hypocrisy & Courage
This morning I awoke to the sounds of an ABC(Australian Broadcasting Commission) journalist pontificating on the Barnaby Joyce “scandal.” Apparently, according to the breathless narrative, the Australian people hate a hypocrite and therefore, Joyce was fair game. The feeding frenzy around Joyce and his new found lover/staffer is set to …
Polarisation is Death
“Don’t just stand there polarise.” This was the catch phrase on a political cartoon that I saw when I was in Year 10. That simple cartoon has swum back in to my consciousness, as I’ve watched all political discourse dissipate under the influence of sharp polarisation across the world. It’s …
