How U.S. media lost the trust of the public
It&#x27;s clear that everything from NPR to Fox News is a propaganda machine - plain and simple.<p>Anyone who spends any time investigating any story will quickly find the truth.<p>Take the Capital&#x27;s mostly peaceful protest on January 6 (sarcasm), where the 7 people who died. Did you know the only two who died violently that day were protestors and many news agencies retracted the death of the police officer &quot;hit with a fire extinguisher&quot;?<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.breitbart.com&#x2F;the-media&#x2F;2021&#x2F;02&#x2F;23&#x2F;nolte-politifact-finally-admits-brian-sicknick-not-killed-by-fire-extinguisher&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.breitbart.com&#x2F;the-media&#x2F;2021&#x2F;02&#x2F;23&#x2F;nolte-politif...</a><p>Two people died from &quot;medial emergencies&quot; and don&#x27;t appear to have done anything besides attend trumps rally:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;nypost.com&#x2F;2021&#x2F;01&#x2F;07&#x2F;who-are-the-four-who-died-in-the-dc-protest-at-the-capitol&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;nypost.com&#x2F;2021&#x2F;01&#x2F;07&#x2F;who-are-the-four-who-died-in-t...</a><p>Officer Brian Sicknick died the following day and there have been arrests, supposedly he died of a stroke, but to-date no medical report has been released:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cnn.com&#x2F;2021&#x2F;03&#x2F;15&#x2F;politics&#x2F;brian-sicknick-capitol-riot-charges&#x2F;index.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cnn.com&#x2F;2021&#x2F;03&#x2F;15&#x2F;politics&#x2F;brian-sicknick-capit...</a><p>Estimates vary, but based on reporting on the ground, it appears there were at least 500,000 people there, so it&#x27;s not super surprising that there would be quite a few natural deaths.<p>Further, it has to be the only armed insurrection in history where the insurrectionists primarily left their weapons at home.<p>Not saying what was done was moral, correct, etc (it wasn&#x27;t), but after watching my own city burn in the BLM &quot;mostly peaceful protests&quot; I can&#x27;t help but recognize the unadulterated falsehoods being propagated.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;JoeConchaTV&#x2F;status&#x2F;1298863702272344064?s=20" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;JoeConchaTV&#x2F;status&#x2F;1298863702272344064?s...</a><p>Both are bad, both were riots, and all you have to do is look to see how bad it is. We don&#x27;t need to make the death count worse or ignore other riots &#x2F; crimes.<p>The general point, if the media would focus on reporting as opposed to pandering it would have trust. As the post points out, they&#x27;re trying to sell their narratives to increase viewership. However, as soon as people realize they&#x27;re being sold something, they forever lose that viewer.<p>I tend to trust journalists a bit more, such as Glenn Greenwald:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;GGreenwald" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;GGreenwald</a><p>They appear to be truly investigating.
