Witness this moment in time where many a present or former intel executive, agent, attorney, asset, ally, or wannabe hack who occupy the State Media space begin to screech in unison: Weird, Weird, Weird! Stooped over their cauldrons lodging nonsensical taunts towards J.D. Vance.
The cadence of the chant in haughty tones meant to deride and disparage ordinary citizens who originate from the wrong zip code, give more than they take, and retain worldviews insulated from the dark authoritarian bark of mindless programmed mows.
Weird, Weird, Weird! Another suspect Coda to: Russia, Russia, Russia!; and Laptop Russian Disinformation!
The programming requires a relativistic approach to easily observable fact. That the individual does not and must not see what they see or hear what they hear. Fact bent to serve the current messaging of the larger and lesser narratives of twisted powers.
To wit: Trump was not struck by a bullet in Pennsylvania
When the State Media repeats those or similar words enough it becomes fact to a percentage of the population. False becomes true. True becomes false. Lies. Deception.
When the head of a government agency repeats this known falsity or some version of it before Congress, the result is disinformation, complicity with State Media. Lies. Deception.
Tragically, we have neither the Federated Constitutional Republic nor the Free Press bequeathed to us by our forebearers. The Press, whom they intended with diverse viewpoints and opposing aims have long since succumbed to the Mockingbird. Accountability now lost.
Journalists intended to challenge waste, abuse, and corruption in the halls of power now repeat the fictions handed them from high places. They are agents of deceit. Plain and simple. No longer heroes of those without power. No longer champions of the people.
We remain hopeful nonetheless. Thanks to a rising alternative media we can embrace known fact, share analysis, learn, and respect differing opinion. Our alliances aren't ideological. R versus D or left versus right is absurd. That's something from the past. Perhaps someday, maybe soon, we will see the new free press reach maturity.
For now we observe, report, and opine upon the oddities of State Media. Whether we call them "Legacy Media," or the antiquated term "Mainstream News," they become more obsolete, self-referential, and obedient each day. A greedy caste of tethered puppets nattering in unison across a monochromatic screen. Corrupt. Sad. Very, very weird.
