Wouldn’t it be weird if Cheney (U -DC) was just working for the IC? Nah. Our elections are the most secure since ever! That’s what all the winners say everyone else is just tin foil hatting!

The media just takes planted stories from the IC. At this point does the DC media do anything on their own? Reporters sleeping with the Intel committee staff guy, sleeping with WH staff, leakers just giving them written articles, etc...They will cover for whomever feeding hem leaks.

Whole thing looks like the Lincoln Project and Pee Dossier in one. All the establishment agents in disguise.

No going back for the establishment media. The establishment trying to finish up what their hero Calhoun started and their media? Well...

The news is propaganda. As Jacques Ellul explained in Propaganda: The Formation of Men’s Attitudes:

“To the extent that propaganda is based on current news, it cannot permit time for thought or reflection. A man caught up in the news must remain on the surface of the event; he is carried along in the current, and can at no time take a respite to judge and appreciate; he can never stop to reflect. There is never any awareness-of himself, of his condition, of his society-for the man who lives by current events. Such a man never stops to investigate anyone point, any more than he will tie together a series of news events…Propaganda addresses itself to that man; like him, it can relate only to the most superficial aspect of a spectacular event, which alone can interest man and lead him to make a certain decision or adopt a certain attitude”
