Gordon Dimmack - PropOrNot using Integrity Initiative data to smear independent journalists
ProporNot are back, and if you use the words Neocon, neoliberal, imperialist, Zionist, warmonger, or establishment then you may a Russian propagandist, according to them.
Yeah, Noah, Gordon Dimmack was quoting all these names in his other video about spooky Integrity Initiative, and I thought, wow, I've never heard of them, I'm going to have to check them out.
. Corporate media outlets today are so pathetic that we almost feel sorry for them. And this PropOrNot nonsense cannot help them.
The latest fake “bombshell” against Trump comes from the BuzzFeed News blog, which is notorious for fabricating fake “bombshells.”
Buzzfeed claimed that Trump committed an impeachable felony by ordering Michael Cohen to lie to Congress about a proposed Trump office tower in Moscow. Buzzfeed said this came directly from Mueller. CNN and almost all the other corporate news outlets spent a full day chattering about this latest “bombshell” until Mueller himself admitted that that it was a lie. And since Mueller is the god of Russia-gate, no one can dispute him.
Sad.
Just . . . sad.
This latest “bombshell” was on the front page of the print edition of the New York Times, but was buried on page 11 by the following day.
The pundits are all embarrassed. Jeffrey Toobin of CNN lamented that, “People will now think the news media are a bunch of leftist liars who are dying to get the president, and that we’re willing to lie to do it. This is a bad day for us.”
Actually it’s been a bad day for the corporate new outlets for decades. Now the liars will never know when their god, Mueller, will himself expose their lies.
My how the liars must long for the days before there was an Internet, when we had no way to fact-check their garbage.
CNN, which in 2014 gave its Journalist of the Year Award to the now-disgraced Claas Relotius of Der Spiegel (which should be renamed Die heutigen Lügen -- Today's Lies).
In 2017 the corporate news outlets in 47 countries awarded their European Press Prize to Claas Relotius, who later admitted that, “I have a problem with lying, and I need help.”
Despite all this, PropOrNot says that fake propaganda is truth, and that that alternative information sources are “fake propaganda.”
What a great resource of alternative news and opinion sites!
ReplyDeleteAnd you just have the to love the fact that PropOrNot is completely anonymous - there is no reference to ownership, authors, funds received, etc.
ReplyDeleteAlso Zero Hedge made the cut, makes MNE look like a poser.

PropOrNot says CNN is not fake news.
