There’s nothing amazing about the fact that ABC’s native Captain Hammer wannabe uses clothespins to bite the neck of his flawless fire coat like a doll from a department store when he is covering destructive fires in Los Angeles. What’s shocking is that anyone would have expected anything else from David Muir.
If this is the primary you’re hearing of clothespin-gate, only observe this:
People do all kinds of stuff on television to look better for the cameras, most of which is unpersuasive. ( Please, never stop wearing makeup, Joy Behar. ) Yes, Muir’s little vanity makes him and his channel appear a little bit like a fraud when he plays dress-up and pins it to show off his glass figure. But that wasn’t the second or most clear idea.
The multimedia have their own goals, just like every other political force, and they tend to correlate with the Democratic Party’s objectives for the most part. For the vast majority of that great majority, the “news” is simply theatrical drama they deliver to advance their interests.
Hate Trump and want to turn your audience’s minds on him? Contact him “analysis” and yell at him on television about how he actually is Hitler and a danger to democracy. ( Just be prepared to appear on “literal Hitler’s” doorsteps to make amends after winning the election anyway. )
Trump’s look on the social scene was clarifying because it made editors so unhappy, they dropped the pretext of “objectivity”. The New York Times, The Washington Post, Columbia Journalism School, and the Pulitzer Prize Board are just a few examples of Margaret Sullivan’s accomplishments. In a “manifesto” she published in 2022, she argued that the internet had not shown sufficient hatred for Trump in the six years since he ran for office and needed to start making it more clear.
Remember the Russia collusion hoax for another illustration of how press outlets laundering fake news to enhance political goals. After Hillary Clinton’s plan paid for the spread of slanderous allegations about Trump and Russia, U.S. knowledge authorities obtained those allegations. The New York Times received the allegations in accordance with the FBI’s custom of leaking details to the press, whose writers were content to re-use them.
The falsified February 2017 article,” Trump Campaign Aides Had Repeated Contacts With Russian Intelligence,” and all the subsequent articles that repeated its content did what they were intended to do: give the impression of independent verification of the leaked sits about Trump so that the Democrats who created the hoax in the first place may continue to attack him despite the media’s coverage. The only exception to the exceptions in the corporate media ‘ willingness to join was an industry-disqualifying disappointment. It was a feedback loop.
One of the most complex “scandals” the media produced about Trump was the Russia hoax, but you could put a spear at a calendar of any of his four terms in office and most likely hit a day when the internet made up lies about him. When Trump suggested that Liz Cheney, a war bird, may attempt to fight her own foreign war at some point, the news quickly became clear that Trump was threatening to kill Cheney by firing club.
Kamala Harris ‘ entire campaign was manufactured by the internet, which covered her Chuck Taylors, her pleasure, and her child feelings. They magically produced polls that showed a significant bump in Harris ‘ race entry, which Harris ‘ own internal pollsters had never noticed.
That same organisation informed you that disinformation was being spread if someone challenged the dominant narrative regarding Covid-19 lockdowns, mask mandates, and vaccines. They said the fire were “mostly quiet” because of something George Floyd, and they stood in front of burning houses in middle America. They claimed Joe Biden was in charge of the nation.
By the way, David Muir’s own network was just forced to pay$ 15 million because one of its hosts allegedly insulted Trump by fabricating evidence that he had been held accountable for raping a woman.
When you read or hear something from one of the stores that supported those lies, and many others, you should question yourself why they might want you to learn for “news” and likely accept that until proven otherwise.
Chances are, what they’re selling is faker than David Muir’s Firefighter Barbie outfit.
