Maggie's FarmWe are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for. |

I doubt very seriously that media trust is low in the US. Because we have a robust First Amendment, you're free to seek out and to hear contrary opinions, you don't have to depend on the state-run media for the "truth" of things, it means "the media" doesn't mean The New York Times any more. I trust Maggie's Farm, I wouldn't wipe my butt with the Washington Post, does this mean I don't trust "the media"? No, it just means that I don't trust propaganda outfits, I still trust other forms of the media just fine.
FTA: But it wasn’t always this way. Back in 1976, in the days of anchors such as Walter Cronkite, John Chancellor, David Brinkley and Roger Mudd, nearly three-quarters of the country trusted the media, according to Gallup. Because there was no internet and no cable news channels, you trusted the garbage being shoveled at you because you had nothing to compare it with. It's funny that I was just reading a celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Pentagon Papers and how this was the news media's finest hour. Bull. Ellsberg was a commie who hated Nixon and the New York Times was a pack of commies who hated Nixon as well and that's the whole reason the Pentagon Papers got leaked and got published - to make Nixon look bad. Later, of course, Woodward and Bernstein did a hatchet job on Nixon with the help of "Deep Throat", an anonymous source they didn't bother to mention was a disgruntled federal employee with an axe to grind who hated Nixon. Any of this sound familiar? Anonymous leakers feeding stories to the press to make the President look bad and the press eagerly lapping it up because they're all in on making the President look bad as well? The difference is that nowadays the MSM isn't your only source of news. Compared to whom? Johnson and Kennedy had equivalent dirty politics or worse.
Attempting To Silence Your Opponents Is A Sign You Are Losing The Debate: This is obvious, except for the oblivious.
US just finished dead last among 46 countries in media trust — here's why: As I keep saying, I don't KNOW if the media is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Democrat Party, or it it's the other way round, but it's OBVIOUS that they are in CAHOOTS. Is The Entire Democratic Party Compromised By China? Hmmmmmmmmmmmm. Signs point to "YES". Confessions of a climate scientist...the global warming hypothesis is an unproven hypothesis.
Global Warming 33 Year Birthday a Celebration of Failures
https://wattsupwiththat.com/2021/06/30/global-warming-33-year-birthday-a-celebration-of-failures/ The democrats, and many top republicans, have deep roots with China. I seem to recall Algore mixed up with a financial scandal involving the Chinese while he was Vice President. Remember, Bill Clinton gave tooling/machining software to the Chinese for submarine propulsion. Under the Bush’s, China became a most favored trade partner. Obama’s political donation website, had the credit card data turned off, so foreigners could funnel money to his campaign.
Which Russian communist said that they will destroy America from the inside? Look what corporations are doing: Turning up the race/biology divisions to 11. We know that Hollywood is relying heavily on the China market for revenue. Look at the Federalist article and see for yourself how much corporate money is funneled to the democrats. These same corporations are lock step with CRT and LBGTQ etc. The message of both CRT and LBGTQ etc. is nothing more than divisive propaganda, designed to separate people. They claim it is all about choice, and love. They don’t allow choice, certainly not a choice of independent thinking. The communists have been working diligently for years to take over the schools. Now the first thing kids learn, as early as pre-school, is sexual ‘diversity’. When do kids learn the three R’s? First they learn that the three R’s are racist. What we should be teaching children is the evils of Marxism, and at the core of which, is divisive class warfare. America isn’t perfect, but it’s founding was based on the accumulation of political science. An amalgamation of centuries of good and bad governance. A system that was built with the liberty of the individual at its core. A system with checks and balances, so that the mob of the majority, could not stamp out the liberty of the individual. A system that did not allow for power to be focused on any one individual. The founders knew that people with power, could not be trusted. NSA Responds to Tucker Carlson Claim of Surveillance, The Generic and Very Political Non-Denial Should Alarm Everyone
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2021/06/30/nsa-responds-to-tucker-carlson-claim-of-surveillance-the-generic-and-very-political-non-denial-should-alarm-everyone/ re: Dems compromised by Chin
In other words, Democrats and Republicans are both being paid to ignore Chinese labor practices; it's just that the Democrats are better at it. The bill was nothing more than political posturing and, as usual, the Republicans are terrible at it. It's this type of poor chess play that makes it embarrassing to be a Republican. I don't care if we use China as cheap labor. Further, I think we should be committing economic warfare on them to an epic degree. Export capitalism, flood them with counterfeit money, sabotage with data for poor reverse-engineering, a space race, and an arms race that will bankrupt them. We should also fund Arab Muslims to bring jihad to the East. We could see the collapse of the CCP within a lifetime. "Rand Paul Blows Up Another Fauci Claim, This Time on the Delta Variant"
When are people going to wake up to the fact that every single thing said about this hoax has been pure bullshit? It is as authentic as Russia, Russia, Russia, validated by at least 17 intelligence agencies...and the Steele dossier...and a wild imagination needed to create a narrative for Mueller to investigate. Fauci is the new Steele dossier.
