Media Matters

[TorontoGold]

I can't believe there are literally zero posts in here about all the "conservative" podcasters and journalists who got exposed yesterday as being funded by Russia. Dunno if posted elsewhere:

Read about this last night. Seems like their opinion is

DNC funded media >>>>>>>>>> Russian funded media - in terms of what's worse

Oh, and Elon has a ton of Saudi money assisting in financing the Twitter purchase.

I guess people don't really hate the media enough?

A few podcasts is the same as as every
Major tv network and newspaper publication? Was the content coincidence and boosted or directed by RT advocates? Elon has advocated for free speech, which is different than the government regulated speech advocated for by Harris.

Major TV networks parroting the same ideas as the DNC is not even remotely the same as the Kremlin directing payments through an American media org to it's top Conservative content creators.

I didn't even mention Elon lol but yeah him being buddy buddy with Bolshevik Benny is funny.

Outside influence from Russia and China isn't going to stop. Our intelligence groups need a way to quickly identify and stop it.

Benny and Tim Pool are not “top” conservative content creators. Benny is a thoughtless parrot anyways and Tim Pool?! Seriously?

Foreign money is already here-

Group steers Swiss billionaire's money to liberal causes

The Berger Action Fund is a nondescript name for a group with a rather specific purpose: steering the wealth of a Swiss billionaire, Hansjörg Wyss, into the world of American politics and policy.

apnews.com

As a foreign national, Wyss is prohibited from donating to candidates or political committees. But his influence is still broadly felt through millions of dollars routed through a network of nonprofit groups that invest heavily in the Democratic ecosystem. Such groups don’t have to disclose the source of their funding — or many details about how they spend it.

Newly available tax documents show that his giving through the Berger Action Fund, which describes itself as advocating for “solutions to some of our world’s biggest problems,” swelled in 2021 to $72 million, cementing Wyss’ status as a Democratic-aligned megadonor.

lol Benny has more followers than James O'Keefe and Steven Crowder, he is a absolutely a top conservative content creator. Tim Pool runs one of the most well known conservative podcasts out there.

Thoughtless parrot LOL what does that make the people who have routinely posted his tweets here? They'd be pretty upset I'm sure.

2.5M follower for Benny, 2.1M for Pool, 1.5M for Rubin.

Bottom line is that Russia bought out a number of influencers and then paid them a ton of money to push talking points beneficial to them. Basic psy op, not particularly complicated or exotic.

 

[ab2cmiller]

Hopefully those three lose many of their followers. I don't run in those circles, and honestly don't think I've ever heard of Benny or Rubin. I've seen a few things from Pool. I don't think any of those three are often posted on IE, but I could be wrong.

So like Harry Sisson?

So what's this story about Marcellus Williams? Liberals are saying an innocent man was executed by the state of Missouri for a murder where a woman was stabbed 40 times. Conservatives are pointing out that he confessed to the murder twice, he was ID'd by family, but I'm seeing conflicting reports about DNA evidence on the murder weapon. Anybody found concrete information? It's been blowing up social media today.

There was unidentified male DNA on the murder weapon but it was contaminated because prosecutors handled it without gloves on.

From what I've read I'd lean towards Williams being guilty.

Not good dude.

So, will the free speech advocates call this election interference or

 

[TorontoGold]

I remember being told that this kind of language was a call to action to assassinate political rivals? Or is that different now? lmao

Just thought this was funny.

Forget all the silly exaggerated phony bs from the left about threats to democracy. THIS is a real threat to democracy: a press that has completely abandoned its responsibility to the American people to provide unbiased honest information, and instead become nothing more than a lying, manipulative propaganda arm of one party. This is how you end up in a totalitarian dystopia like Nazi Germany or the USSR with all the press spouting the party line instead of the truth.

Is it odd to say that between the CNN Biden/Trump debate, the ABC Harris/Trump debate, and the CBS Vance/Walz debate, the CNN one felt like the cleanest and least biased operation? I can only imagine if MSNBC had been given a shot. After ABC it felt only fitting they should have done one on FOX, but there was no way Harris or Biden would have the stones for that.

Really blows my mind why people have lost faith in the media.

Give Bill Whitaker some credit. He asked specific questions and when Harris started her word salad, he went back at her.

 

[NDVirginia19]

Trump proving himself right to skip 60 minutes. If they went through these lengths to make Kamala appear a non bumbling idiot, I’m sure they would have done whatever they could to make Trump appear as bad as they possibly could. Not to mention the network making Dokoupil go through a communist struggle session for daring to question Ta Nahisi Coates

 

[NDVirginia19]

Properly vetted questions by the race and culture department holy fucking shit 😂 what an embarrassment of an organization and an indictment on our entire media. How can you seriously think of yourself seriously as a journalist if some racial studies undergrad has to approve of your fucking questions. Lmao what a fucking joke, Mao would be impressed

 

[NDVirginia19]

Lmao they are doing everything they can to tank their credibility

 

[drayer54]

CBS is manipulating their preferred candidates interviews and manipulating stories for their narrative. This is the single biggest threat to democracy we have. Shameful

I'm pretty sure our last President was the first to acknowledge Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. I'm told he was illegitimate, even though election denial is a serious crime.

Election denial really is the most dangerous thing to our democracy..... but is still isn't even on the top 100 list of reasons I hate Hillary Clinton.

They’re not even saying to be silent about it being Israel’s capitol, they just want to lie about basic geography lmao

Dang, next thing you know they'll be lying about basic biology too.
