If it wasn’t clear before, it should be clear for everybody now; the ideological divide going on around the world is here to stay. With the recent news that alternative media types like Alex Jones, Milo Yiannopoulos, and Laura Loomer were banned off of Instagram and Facebook for good, tech companies have really showed their … Continue reading It’s Time to Drop Social Media
Time Magazine decided to put out a cover depicting, to them at least, the epitomization of President Trump’s Zero Tolerance immigration policy. On it, a picture of a crying toddler is cropped out of its original context, and is instead looking up at a looming (if not playful) Trump, with the text, “Welcome to America” … Continue reading How the Time Magazine Immigration Cover is a Perfect Example of Fake News
In New York today, a crazed man from Uzbekistan drove into a pedestrian bike lane, killing 8 and injuring more. He continued to get out of his car armed with weapons, but was incapacitated by the police with a shot to the stomach. He's currently being treated before he can be questioned, but I really … Continue reading Media Lies Have Spread to the U.S.
Outside the news of hurricanes and Trump, the next largest news story of today was how Felix Kjellberg, better known by his online alias PewDiePie, slipped up and said the “N Word” on his gaming live stream. The young Swedish YouTuber is arguably the biggest online personality of the past decade, and has gotten his … Continue reading How Mainstream News is Trying to Damage Alternative Media
One of my favorite things about 2017 is that I can open up Twitter and see that the President of the United States has been either angrily tweeting or boldly bragging at 3 in the morning. I don’t understand the negative sentiment people have against the president and his constant Tweeting, as it's his constant … Continue reading President Donald Trump: Magician-in-Chief
Here’s the Brian Stelter Twitter thread I refer to later: https://twitter.com/brianstelter/status/880051302167924736 I read a fascinating Twitter thread yesterday where Brian Stelter, a journalist and correspondent at CNN, complained about what he called “anti-journalistic sentiment”. He claimed that criticism towards journalism is good, as long as it's constructive, but that most of the critiques being … Continue reading Is Journalism Worth Saving In 2017?
Here’s the viral video that came out today exposing CNN. Surprisingly made #1 Trending: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdP8TiKY8dE I’ve come to develop a philosophy in my life, due to something I’ve noticed about human psychology. “It doesn’t matter if you’re right, if everybody else is wrong.” A related philosophy is the notion of being so far ahead … Continue reading Why the Exposing of CNN Surprised Nobody
This is also why it's so powerful when Beata Szydło, the Polish PM, directly says to Merkel and the EU that they won’t capitulate to their desires, and that the safety of her people comes before the desires of authoritarian global elites. The statements alone are powerful, but look at the stats she has to back her policies up:
For a long time now the keepers of old media have been trying their best to sink their already failing businesses even further into the depths of irrelevance. Publications like the New York Times and Washington Post put out false headline after false headline, and misreport so often I immediately scroll to the bottom of every article to read the corrections. The personalities of failing network news like CNN and Fox have had one career killing scandal after another. Its to the point where our president can yell, “FAKE NEWS” at a reporter, and most of America laughs and agrees with him.
The irony here is that this blatant domestic terror attack did nothing for the political conversation in this nation. If Scalise’s armed security hadn’t been there, it's safe to say that most of those Republican congressmen would have been killed today. If the roles had been reversed, and the shooter was a Trump supporter firing on Democrats, we wouldn’t hear the end of this day. If this man hadn’t been a manipulated pawn, radicalized by leftist hate speech, we would have heard every Hollywood figurehead and pop star crying about gun regulation. Instead, we get none of that.
