Yet another hard-hitting article from Druthers, the site I love and trust (and you should, too). Even though the Druthers Newspaper is based in Canada, nevertheless much of its content has global relevance, so I encourage the American as well European posters to check out the site.

For now, I will post a brief excerpt from an article titled "Mainstream Media is a Weapon". Basically it talks about how the mainstream media has been weaponized, and is now a force to brainwash the viewers, instead of informing them. This has been going on for many years now but it really came to a head during the pandemic.

______

Covid showed us that doing research has become necessary, if not crucial. Corporate media—local, national, and international—all pushed identical “news,” hammering the phrases “all scientists agree” and “safe and effective” which functioned to squash questions and doubt. As one protestor accurately put it, “Of course all scientists agree when you censor the ones who don’t.” As for “safe and effective,” pharmaceutical companies weren’t telling.

Blackout clauses were built into their contracts. Before American courts forced them to do so, vaccine makers didn’t have to provide any clinical trial data for 75 years! And they are legally protected from liability. How is this possible? Gun manufacturers can be sued for manufacturing defects but vaccine manufacturers cannot. Harming or killing consumers with spoiled food, a dangerous toy or even a car, is a serious crime, but harming or killing people with a vaccine isn’t?

People have begun collapsing and dying on camera. Professional athletes dropping on soccer fields, tennis pros dropping on the court, TV hosts falling out of the camera frame, lecturers toppling like trees, and performers staggering sideways and crumpling into a heap on stage, causing audiences to gasp, unsure if what they’re seeing is part of the performance. The young and healthy are dying, all-cause mortality numbers climbing, miscarriages increased, chronic disease increased, and alarming stats pouring in.

I am including only 3 paragraphs here because that's the maximum allowed by the rules, however, I can assure you that the rest of the article is so much more. I encourage you to check out the rest of the article at https://druthers.ca/mainstream-media-is-a-weapon/. If the link doesn't work, kindly go to Druthers.ca, then go to "Read" at the top. Then "By subject", then, "Censorship", and then look for the article titled "Mainstream media is a weapon".

You know, I have to say this whole Covid thing really made me question the credibility of edifices like the CDC and important public figures such as Fauci. I still remember their trying to change the definition of vaccine so that the covid "vaccines" would fit the definition of one. It also really made me question the trustworthiness of the mainstream media. And I still remember the big tech's various campaigns to get people to get vaxxed. I tried to say something on online forums, but I was silenced each time by moderators who took it upon themselves to censor their fellow citizens. I felt so alone and without a voice. I feel that something is deeply wrong but I can't put my finger on it.

Anyway, enough about me. Just throwing my opinion out there in order to attract better ones. Let's start discussing!

Nobody needs an article to tell us this. We've seen the media being used as a weapon.

Some people believe what they see and some will go to great lengths to deny what they see.

Thanks anyway.

'Mainstream media' is a group of businesses. They produce a product, you, and sell that product to their customers, advertisers. They are not a utility or public service.

I don't mean to be impolite, Tiny, but you need to be studying media history a bit more. You see, find out what got the U.S. into a war with Spain back before you were born, and then get back to us about troubles with media owners.

But I guess this post is sort of impolite, so I'll simply apologize.

But do study about the Maine accident. Down there in Cuba. It was an accident. And some folks in upper-management in the military and government knew it. I'm quite sure that Hearst fella knew, too. So did that Teddy fella who was all hot-to-trot to go shoot some human in a combat situation. Media weaponization back then led to real weapons being used with deadly results. And that Teddy fella rode that right into the White House.

From the article:

"Many people were turned into proto-Nazis who called for the quarantine and shunning of the unvaxxed; hysteria and hatred spread like black mould. Those who chose body autonomy over an untested, experimental drug had their lives turned into a nightmare. Canada was being marched into fascism—no food, no life, no school, no travel, no services, no gatherings. And the fans of MSM were happy to show their papers: proof of vax status wasn’t tyranny writ large, it was “doing the right thing."

That is spot-on, yet this forum is plumb full of the proto-Nazis, and as you've seen thus far, will not lower themselves to discussion, lol.

I don't think you are. You still deny that the mainstream media is being used as a weapon.
