1984: Thread

[grarpamp]

That the shadow elite have let so many of
their plans spill out into effect all at once all
around the world tells its messed up, and
since cards are always held in reserve, it
will likely get much more bizarre restrictive
and dangerous. Prepare and or fight back if you can.

Totally: the best way for a news outlet like @NPR to show they're not
beholden to the US government and are unbiased is to have the WH Press
Secretary rise to her feet in defense of NPR and heap praise on their
great reporting:

Truly independent outlets anger the state. They often end up where
Biden DOJ has put Assange, not showered with praise by WH Press
Secretary. When is the last time NPR did reporting that angered the
Biden WH, FBI, CIA, NSA, etc? NPR does this for CIA:
npr.org/2022/04/14/109290451…
In rare public speech, the CIA director spoke about the spy agency's
role in Ukraine

CIA Director Bill Burns made a rare public speech Thursday and talked
about the agency's role in Ukraine. Also, hundreds of suspected
Russian spies have been kicked out of embassies in Europe.

Here's a self-proclaimed "disinformation expert" affiliated with a DoD
program also leaping to NPR's defense. Scratch a self-proclaimed
"disinformation expert" and one finds USG ties. Note how many state
functionaries are vehemently defending NPR.

Wow, way to make this label meaningless. NPR is absolutely not even
comparable to propaganda outlets like RT & Sputnik, which have no
editorial independence. This is ridiculous and only helps actual
propaganda outlets blend in with legitimate news outlets.

LOL - I forgot about this. There's no industry more intrinsically
fraudulent than "disinformation experts." It's a scam expertise and so
of course it's filled with scam artists and grifters, many of whom are
lined up defending the über-independent NPR:

Was just reminded of some "disinformation" perpetuated by @RVAwonk:
when she bilked her Twitter followers out of $$$ for a trip to sunny
Hawaii to "investigate" Tulsi Gabbard. Still no word on how that trip
went. Hilariously, the GoFundMe page is still up

NPR has an article complaining that Twitter now characterizes it as
"US state-affiliated media." To prove that they are not, they cite the
fact that WH Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre today "defended NPR's
journalism." Strange choice. npr.org/2023/04/05/116815854…

Amazing: NPR, in trying to argue it's not-state affiliated, didn't
only cite the praise of the WH press secretary for its "journalism."
It also cited this bullshit self-proclaimed "disinformation expert"
who works in a program funded by the Pentagon:

Another day, another round of blatantly false information peddled by
"disinformation" experts. The Corporation for Public Broadcasting
publishes financial statements itemizing the "state-funding" it
receives and disperses to NPR. The money is literally appropriated by
Congress
Caroline Orr Bueno, Ph.D @RVAwonk

Just so we’re all clear: NPR is not state-funded nor do they take
editorial direction from the government. Less than 1% of NPR's annual
operating budget comes from government grants and other federal
agencies and departments. It’s publicly funded, not state-funded.

The main difference: had Lula done what they claimed, those would be
serious crimes. Even if Trump did everything alleged, it's not a
felony. A principal diferença: se Lula tivesse feito o que alegam,
seriam crimes graves. Mesmo que Trump tenha feito tudo, nem é um crime
grave.

There is no bullshit more transparent and theatrical than the pretense
that the 2 parties in DC are radically different and can't get along
on anything. Dem Congressman Tom @Malinowski used to work for Human

Victoria Nuland worked for the Clinton Admin, then served as Dick

for Biden. The only time she wasn't in power was under Trump.

Provided one stays within the boundaries of the key pieties of the
establishment wings of the two parties, then they are 100% fine and
acceptable. Pelosi and Schumer are as good as McConnell and Jeb Bush.
It's only those who question those, in either party, on whom war is
waged

My primary objection to the Trump indictment:
System Update @SystemUpdate_

“If you’re going to bring a case against a former president… You need
to make certain that you’re doing it in the most apolitical way
possible… only where there are serious charges... & a clear cut law
that you can claim has been violated. None of those is true in this
case.”

I posted an exchange I had with a reader-critic by email regarding his
critiques of my views on trans issues, which he says I very rarely
discuss. I took the opportunity to explain what those views actually
are. Note the civil debate among commenters:

The thing I most valued about digital-era journalism from my start was
the ability/need to interact with readers. Monologue-journalism died.
You can maintain civil debates even on the most inflammatory issues if
you confine it to those invested in the community (subscribers).

who last night said MSNBC would refuse to allow Trump to be heard
because she fears the cost of broadcasting lies:
