IN SEARCH OF THE TRUTH
Major media in Idaho is a poison pill to truth
Skirting the minefield of public media debate
Pursuit of elected office can be like dancing in a minefield, unless you’re very friendly with those who plant the mines. Yep, working ‘with’ and not ‘against’ liberal government media is the secret to political success, or so it seems. In fact, no one is more expert in planting mines in the field of truth than the major media.
We’ve spoken with folks inside the media complex of a small state university, the local home of PBS [Public Television] and NPR [National Public Radio]. This media, as well as local newspaper and commercial radio, are virtually unchallenged in their mine laying expertise. These are targeted ‘mines’ aimed at anyone whose opinions, goals, and ideals don’t ‘fall in line’ with their own.
I might have called this article ‘a conspiracy theory’ were it not for unimpeachable sources within the government/university broadcast complex. Equally credible sources in the ‘progressive’ commercial television, radio, and print complex confirm those from within the university based tax payer funded media.
My source within local university, Ms. Doe, says, “We work in closed-door meetings and plot strategies to give ‘our’ candidates the edge in debates. Leaking questions to favoured people is a part of the process, but there is far more involved. In advance of the debates we’ll plant subtle ideas, seeds if you will, into local news commentary. These ‘seeds’ planted help to prejudice an audience before the actual debate or public forum even takes place.”
She went on to say, “If you want to keep your job, you fall in line and do as you’re told. These days, especially in the shadows of the Covid Crisis, a job in media is hard to get and harder to keep.”
An example would be pending televised debates for local and state offices. On the surface it would seem a terrific outreach to educate people on the issues. In accordance with media’s so-called ‘fairness practices’ assigned moderators ask a series of questions and allocate time for each candidate to answer and rebut. These moderators are mine layers.
On the surface, it would seem an ideal approach. It’s a shame it’s not! My sources have shown staff at the local university television/radio complex routinely leak supposedly confidential questions to their ‘candidates of choice’. Yes, there’s no doubt this is the case, as exposed when Donna Brazile leaked 2016 Presidential Debate questions to Hillary Clinton.
This practice of ‘leak-and-release’ isn’t solely reserved for national press events, but is far more prevalent in local markets such as Boise, Idaho or Salt Lake City, Utah … to name a few.
To combat this insidious practice we need ‘town criers’. We need folks interested in ‘fact not fiction’. We need people who will spread the word in whatever medium they have available such as ‘word-of-mouth’ and social media. The words of friends and relatives carry far more power than those of media talking heads and pundits of a prejudiced print.
It’s time to be a ‘town crier’ and do all you can to keep others aware and informed.
I’m Max, and that’s the way I see it!
P.S. Don't think for one moment that these sorts of shenanigans go on only with PBS and NPR affiliates [known for their leftist anti-American leanings] but know this sort of thing goes on wherever any media outlet has an agenda. Broadcast television and radio as well as social media, cable television, etc. largely have their fingers in the pie of truth and work in mysterious and often secretive ways to fight against truth, justice, and the American way.
