Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts
“If the Trump-era FBI had executed search warrants inside the newsrooms of The New York Times and NBC News, we would be demanding evidence to prove it was legally justified. Yet virtually nothing has been provided to justify the FBI’s targeting of O’Keefe and his colleagues at Project Veritas, and the little that has been disclosed by way of justifying this makes no sense.” — Glenn Greenwald
Glenn Greenwald and Matt Taibbi are two of the last journalists. Both are leftwing inclined, and Greenwald is a homosexual. But when it comes down to who do you believe, I believe them. They have integrity, and truth matters to them. Both have been evicted from the publications that they made famous because they told truth that hurt “advertising,” that is, public relations money for supporting an agenda. Indeed, the only reason to read the Intercept was Greenwald, and the only reason to read Rollingstone was Taibbi. Neither lies in order to advance an agenda. Both are honest journalists, a rarity today.
Greenwald has pointed out again and again that journalists are at work destroying themselves. The fools agitate for censorship which stuffs gags in their own mouths. They insist that journalists who investigate and tell the truth are not real journalists but conspiracy theorists discrediting the official narrative. As dissidents from the official narrative are pronounced not to be real journalists, they do not have First Amendment protections and can be arrested on such far-fetched charges as Julian Assange as a Russian spy and as a rapist of women who do not claim to have been raped. It is journalists themselves, presstitutes as I call therm, who have defined journalists as only those who regurgitate the official narrative in the same way as did the Soviet press under Stalin.
Everyone who reads the New York Times, Washington Post, listens to NPR, CNN, MSNBC, BBC, and the rest of the official media is engaging in self-brainwashing, self-indoctrination. They are making themselves blind, stupid, and acceptable of tyranny.
In interviews with Russian journalists, I have stated that there is no one in American print, TV, or PBS “journalism” today that, when I was a Wall Street Journal editor, we would have considered hiring. What are called journalists today are not only devoid of substance, but also of integrity. They have no respect for truth and feel no obligation to report the truth. They simply preserve their jobs by lying for the agenda, whatever it is.
Here is Greenwald to tell you about the absence of principle in what passes for journalism in the dying and corrupt Western world: https://greenwald.substack.com/p/kyle-rittenhouse-project-veritas?token=eyJ1c2VyX2lkIjoyMzM4MTg3OCwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDQxMTA4MzQsIl8iOiJ3QlFyRCIsIm

In a sane world, Glenn and Matt would run under “above average” category.
In today’s world they are pretty good, but I wouldn’t trust them with my life – they’re still unrepenting leftists, after all.
The media is the enemy of the people. The day we realize that and begin to attack the media and its members as if it were our enemy, for their lies and deceit, is the day we begin to reclaim our once free nation. Lies and censorship should be answered with violence upon the people who support it.
Pres. DJT has been calling the media the enemy of the ppl for 6 yrs+.
I did not agree with everything he said, but he was 100% right about that. The media is the single greatest threat to liberty in America today.
The Rittenhouse trial/verdict/aftermath should have opened people’s eyes but they’re too invested in the cult of fear and the Regime’s agenda.
Media should never be trusted. How do you convince people to stop consuming it?
You don’t stop people from doing much of anything if that is what they want to do. Suffering will make people change course, ditto pain and privation, however, no one suffers physically from watching propaganda, not on the surface. Most people don’t understand propaganda, they follow blindly and they follow a cult leader talking head on the teevee most fervently. Recall the movie V where he kills the television celebrity?
CIA Director William Colby “The Central Intelligence Agency owns everyone of any significance in the major media”
Not just Western world, it’s almost the whole fucking world.
This Prosecutor deserves to be dis-bared. He should spend the rest of his life in a job where he wears a paper hat and asks people if they would like fries with their order…..
FL has has “Stand Your Ground” on the books for a long time.
Yes, they are conspiracy theorists…until a small amount of time goes by and they are proven correct.
Seems to be the narrative these days, all too often.
The title for this article should read, “I just stepped out from under my rock.”
Thanks capt obvi. Did you also know that the sky is blue?
At least you guys are letting the Covid nonsense occupy less of your lives and freeing up your thought-space, so you’re making some progress and are almost back up to pre-covid baseline, I suppose.
It’s a virus alright- a mental malware.
Get off the intellectual and cultural feedlots already. Free your mind- resist Zionist colonization in all its forms. The shitty, global “mono-culture” (see what I did there) will eat you alive if you don’t. Be a free thinker?…. Maybe?
Yeah.

Dig it! Off da Pope!
The media has always been a tool of political whoredom. It’s just that now they openly profess their alliance with tyranny, well leftist tyranny. They don’t much care for tyranny from the so-called Right.
