Your friends and family honestly believe that the Mainstream News "is not allowed to lie." That's why these same friends and family think you are an insane fucking moron for not believing what Mainstream News tells you.
They do not understand that propaganda was very quietly LEGALIZED IN THE UNITED STATES IN 2013. After that, the news outlets no longer "had" to tell the truth.
This is how MSM gets away with it.
Not too long ago the Rachel Maddow show was sued for lying and spreading garbage as "news." But the courts pointed to this 2013 ruling and said shows like that were not news, but "entertainment," and nothing changed. She's still on the air doing exactly the same thing.
This change was made very quietly in 2013. Who was in the White House as President of the United States in 2013?
If the normies ever do realize that this happened, and that we know about it but they do not - that could change an awful lot.
Show it to everyone you know and see what happens.
Here is one link, but this is easily researched. Anyone can find a link to a source they are willing to believe: https://citizentruth.org/government-allowed-use-propaganda/
They didn't have to prior to, they are corporations which are now considered PERSONS (corporations) under the law that was changed a long time ago allowing them "free speech" this was used previously by the pentagon in order to insert topics into the main stream news for decades! Propaganda being legalized only allowed them to do this in the light of day and allows government funded stories to be aired, where before they had to be paid in other ways, kick backs. Today they just cut a check. The taxpayers are paying for these stories!
Indeed, the fact these are corporations at all is a telling.
Citizen journalists are the way forward. No sponsorships.
Corporations having person hood at all is very alarming.
There is a way to allow advertising, which pays for media currently, that do not interfere with the media. I hope anyway. It would be nice for people doing the work to be able to make a check in a way that doesn't endanger the Republic.
There are lots of ways to earn income via citizen journalism, and it’s far more cost effective for companies to ‘advertise’.
The problem with the advertising machine today is it’s about buying ‘air time’ over state-sponsored media outlets, broadcast over tax-funded dollars (you and me), …
It’s like a very complex money laundering scheme.
The large majority of these Ad revenues go towards opex, and the ‘stars’ of these networks (anchors, .. they are brands in of themselves).
So then the race to be profitable is then about increase advertisement air-time.
So what you get then is this…
The Media/News is Really an Advertising business first, News second.
Now now, don't interfere with ODS. ;) Most here aren't ready for the "Obama is just a mid level puppet like Bush" redpill.
WHEN THOUGH!!!!!?????

I guess they are trying.... UGH!!
My morning sounds very similar to your morning...I, also said similar to my mother.
After I calmly explain it to her, she seems to get it and then goes right back to watching Newsmax and by tomorrow (when we talk again), she will repeating the same things..."I feel so sorry for what the Ukrainian people are going through because of madman Putin".
It's very frustrating talking to her these days.
Old habits you know.
Perhaps it’s a matter of redirection, replace Newsmax with something else.
X22 Report!?
Not sure how I started getting Newsmax emails but they were sending 3 a day with this Ukraine thing and I spammed them.
It may be their age, but they prefer to watch news images on tv rather than listen to a podcast on a laptop or phone.
I could try it and see what my parents think, but judging from their habits, I think the tv news wins for them.
I don't live with them, so not easy to monitor them as to what they watch.
Lol at the fact that we are now talking about monitoring what our parents watch on TV.
Sign of these times we are living through.
I convinced them not to get the shots, but now they are consuming too much news and are believing it all.
Lucky your Mom believes you about Covid propaganda. Mine still believes it. And the stuff about Ukraine. Fortunately, she agrees with me when I said stuff like: "We do not need a nuclear war. Give Putin an out" with reference to old Biblical laws about only sieging a city on 3 sides. (It's easier if they have a way to escape so their back isn't against the wall and they're in the Alamo)
But the gaps that are there.... she believed BLM never killed anyone. Never heard of David Dorn. Wasn't interested in researching him.
That was discussed a lot on the Q boards back in 2017...... the question that started it back then was “Why would DJT not try to nullify that change in the use of propaganda being banned in the USA but allowed for any non domestic issues..... but they still misused it, much like they did with. ‘5 Eyes’ agreement...... DJT did not renew the funding that Hussein gave with those changes.... if you remember there were a lot of job losses in the media at the time and many of us were posting about them losing their jobs needing to learn to code, just like they told the people losing their manufacturing jobs under Hussein ...... Big Tech censored us just saying those 3 words 😂😂......
So there’s plenty of interesting and informative theories there that are worth reading..

Biden infused the fake news outlets with $1B in fical year 2021 to push pro-Covid propaganda. Some of us already knew that because we read the Appropriations bill 90% of Congress didn't even bother reading, but this article breaks it down in further detail.

Trump is also calling for us to intervene in Ukraine. And still hasn't changed his stance on vaccines. His stubbornness in the face of fact is the canary in the coalmine, I think he's compromised.
100%.... actually what I've been thinking for a while is that he has been TELLING us not to trust him. That his hands are tied beyond a simple "let's make a deal" situation.. his family may be at stake. So by bulldozing the vaccine narrative at rallies in the face of booing (the ONLY part of his speeches that is rebuked), he's acknowledging that he HAS to say what he is saying. It's not from the heart.
Then consider that Putin invaded Ukraine and gave the deep state its war propaganda precisely when they needed him to, to cover up the death jab info and the convoy.
Smith-Mundt Modernization Act passed ~2012.
Allows State Department and CIA to operate within US borders to "facilitate information flow" previously prohibited by the ~1948 Smith-Mundt Act.
No Agenda has been reporting on it since basically when it was passed.
Explains the mass formation psychosis
Thank you for the actual source. I forgot what the act was called. OPs post would be 10x stronger with this detail.
Your welcome fren! Added as I was kinda surprised nobody had mentioned it yet.
It's kinda funny how most lib you'll encounter will agree straight away this was terrible and shouldn't have happened. Only for you to ask what news stories since they think have been influenced since then and their answer is basically "well they don't ACTUALLY do that it's just a law..."
Kinda like how they're all against wire-tapping. But if you criticize anyone they like for wire-tapping all of a sudden it's "what do you care, you're just a masturbator... they don't wanna watch you!"
Guess I'm preaching to choir lol just feeling ranty today....
Say it with me, COGNITIVE DISSONANCE
4-6% my ass more like 15-30%. They don’t want to wake up cause then they have to confront the fact that they were wrong. There is a reason pride is one of the 7 deadly sins.
I agree and it's hard to be tolerant with the normies. Sometimes I just want to scream why do you believe everything on the news? The sheeple have been spoon fed for so long they don't want to think!
It's been amazing to watch some wake up...NCSWIC!
They don't know HOW to think.
Absolutely correct fren! No cognitive skills.
Smith Mundt Modernization Act. That's what Obama used to legalize it.

All [Hussein] did was make it legal for U.S. officially State Sponsored propaganda. But, we've long been lied to by these MSM outlets since [they]'re inceptions. These outlets have long been peddling the NWO's bullshit, going back to Lincoln, maybe even further back.
All [Hussein] did was bring it out into the open. This is part of the reason why it looks and feels like these El'ites and Cabalists aren't trying to tell the truth anymore.
In the late 1990's there were 34-35 different media companies. Now we have 6 corporations that own everything. It's easy to send the talking points every morning to the mockingbird media, talking heads. The sheep hear the same narrative in the same words every day. The repetition is an important tool. Conditioning has made them very compliant.
Smith Mundt Modernization Act Repeal under Obama December 23rd around 11:14pm with empty halls as members were already inbound to loved ones so no one could object or discuss it.
This ruling allowing propaganda in 2013 by Obama must be reversed. It cannot stand.
Has it been legalized elsewhere though?
It's everywhere.
Other countries don't have a First Amendment so didn't need an act of Congress to follow suit.
It’s fluoride
Smith mundt modernization act. I use it all the time to wake up normies.
Now they can teach propaganda to school kids.
They were allowed to and lied long before 2013. This bill may have made things worse, but things were not above board before then either. Media has lied to varying degrees for as long as it has existed. It is definitely much worse now for sure, but was never perfect.
i am certain they were full of shit prior to that for quite a long time.
Propaganda has always been "legal", since time immemorial.
That was only part of it. That was when they made it legal to play, the Voice of America, which is a propaganda radio station that they used to play only on other countries.
Funny side note; tucker carlson who applied to join the CIA before becoming a "news" man is the son of a "news" man.b
That's right tuckers dad was also in the news buisness. He worked for, Voice of America, congresses I ne and only propoganda radio broadcast.
At any rate, in 2016 they lifted another ban on propaganda, right as Trump was campaigning and then becoming president. I rember it in the news over shadowed by all the craziness around the 2016 election.
I looked it up again a few months ago and found there was a few occasions since 2000 that they've been listening restrictions on that.
