Way back in 1999 a young Haley Joel Osment said “I see dead people”. (Snip)
I was suddenly reminded of the film when thinking about the way the mainstream media work and the odd way those of us not reliant on them now inhabit an entirely different reality to those of us who do get our understanding of the world purely from mainstream sources.
The mainstream media of course selectively report the news. They constantly try to focus attention in one direction, and divert attention from another direction. Everything they allow to be seen is filtered through a lens of perpetual and oppressive bias.

OMMISSION. The press has been doing that for decades against Conservatives but now, they are running the harris campaign for her while she hides. They did it for quid pro joe too but not as badly as they are now for her. It has been 3 weeks since the castle coup, and she has not been a press conference yet. And WHO is in charge now? joe and her are both in hiding even as the economy slides into recession or worse, and the world creeps toward WWIII!!

I get the author's incredulousness regarding the MSM's sins of omission. And not that I am asking for such to happen - but how has the MSM which near daily promotes immorality and perversion escaped the attention of Islamic terrorists? The rich and their political pawns are certainly in bed with the media at EVERY level of print , video, or tech. But has the ultra wealthy also bought off the Islamists?

When Dr. Ben Carson was a candidate for President he said that the media is always DIVERTING ATTENTION of the people away from gross corruption and incompetence to some other focus which he called "the next new 'shiny' object" so that real problems would not be dispassionately discussed.
Back in the 1990's radio host Marlin Maddoux published a book called "Free Speech or Propaganda-- How the media distorts the Truth". It can be found via the free Internet Archive website and it discusses how elitist, anti-America, filthy rich liberals who control the media feel they can dictate what real people are allowed to see and learn about. Now we find out that Hunter WAS influence peddling now that dear old Vegetable is about to serve out his retirement while in office.
Once one sensational ruse has run its course, another takes its place-- heard about Travis Kelce lately?

Spend a few seconds a day on Drudge, if you dare.
We've already got our first woman President.

The referenced article is a wonderful statement of the nature of the propaganda tool the lamestream media has become. I congratulate Mr Jupp for penning a masterpiece.

Yup, just look at what the MSM has been able to pull off here. The leader of the free world AND his family has completely vanished { POOF! } and NOBODY wonders if he's OK or asks what happened?
Just as troubling, however, is the fact that in the past 20, 30, or 40 YEARS we conservatives haven't been able to find a way to deal effectively with an out-of-control media. Why is that?

A great read - thanks for posting. is it true that cnn happened to be in Butler to cover their first Trump rally of the 2024 campaign season? The same way they happened to be loitering in front of Roger Stone's house in the early hours on that morning? Something is behind all of this, and it's not just a handful of rich, elite liberals. It's 100 years later, and we're moving toward becoming the USSR of the 21st century - the Union of democrat Socialist Republics, with our own new-and-improved Izvestia, Tass and Pravda.

Thank you, OP. An insightful article that deserves to be a Must Read. The observation that CNN attended the Trump rally in Butler, PA, after refusing to cover prior and subsequent rallies, if true, is astonishing and begs further investigation. Poster #2 also raises an excellent point.

A very excellent article. The movie reference was VERY effectively handled.
The cnn coverage of the butler rally being the first exception of its policy of not covering Trump rallies is curiouser and curiouser, especially in the context of the Roger Stone arrest as pointed out by #7.
The situation with the Bubble of Propaganda spun by the mainstream media is flabbergasting. Apparently not new; see, e.g., "The Emperor's New Clothes."

Instead, we get stories from the likes of Politico, reporting today that Trump misidentified a black man for another black man as being on a near fatal helicopter ride 30 years ago. OMG!

Re: CNN at Butler.
Yes, a major red flag. Also the presence of renowned photographer Douglas Mills. Script didn't go as planned, due to Divine intervention.

Cut out the long intro about media bias. Lead with the point of the article. The president was almost killed in a coup d’etat attempt. Media bias is a cliche, and any non-conservative will yawn when they hear those words. They are sheep with their heads buried in the sand, and won’t wake up if you try to be polite or use logic. They lack the ability to use logic. It’s a great article, but try shock nExt time. Logic is for grownups, we have to talk to them like we’re talking to a fifth grader.

Relative to the point #2 brought up concerning Islamic terrorist - there is a saying in the Arab world that carries particular weight: "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." The part they never tell you about their newly found "friend" is that once this friend disposes of their common enemy they in turn will be eliminated.

So let me get this straight:
-First Trump rally covered by CNN (CNN, who also 'just happened' to be at Roger Stone's house when the Feds raided/invaded him).
-First Trump rally attended "Also the presence of renowned photographer Douglas Mills" per #11.
-First Trump rally where the FIBbers had a counter-sniper (to cover the tracks, per Oswald in 1963?)
-Blatant (deliberate?) lack of planning with local cops, blatant (deliberate?) lack of communication with local cops. People in the audience shouting "He's On the Roof!" but somehow it NEVER got to USSS 'command'?
-USSS agency headed by a person selected by 'Doktor' (Ed.D) Jill Biden
-Sufficient USSS resources denied by then head (and also by today's head) of USSS.
-12 USSS agents covering 'Doktor' (Ed.D) Jill's indoor event not too far away, diverting a number of USSS agents from Trump's event.
-A number of USSS agents taking the day off "because they were overworked covering Trump's events".
-Shooter had (what- 3?) different 'encrypted' accounts active or conversations going... and the FIBber's can't manage to break into them? (They always seem to break encryption when the message revealed favors The Narrative!)
-Video (blurry, but visible) a dark shape in-and-out of visibility on top of the water tower, definitely not a 'shadow' that then was no longer visible after the shooting. (NOTE: Is there access via an internal ladder to the fitting/cupola on top of the water tower?)
-The Secret Service bigwigs are covering their backsides, as everyone in this HairSniffer administration does all the time.
-And of course, the Lamestreams (a.k.a. the Leftist Democ'RAT Pep Squad) poo-poohing anything that does not fit The Narrative.
It's looking more and more like the so-called 'conspiracy theories' may very well be true.
Will we ever find out the truth?
Based on the JFK assassination history, Probably not.
