The Media Are Agents of Propaganda; Years of anti-ICE propaganda helped lead to a deadly confrontation in Minneapolis.

“This woman lost her life because she was fully gripped by years of media indoctrination that told her that she’s living in 1930s Germany and interfering with ICE is akin to fighting Hitler’s Nazis.”

"Last Thursday, Vice President JD Vance joined a White House press briefing to discuss initiatives the Trump administration is taking to investigate the pervasive welfare fraud that has been discovered in Minnesota. He was inevitably asked questions about the death of Renee Good after she attempted to drive her SUV over an ICE agent in Minneapolis. Vance described the media coverage of the death as “disgraceful,” and followed up with this question: “You guys are meant to report the truth. How have you let yourselves become agents of propaganda?” The collective response of the “reporters” was to disregard the question, but the answer is vital to the future of the republic.

"In a letter to the British philosopher Richard Price, Thomas Jefferson observed that “wherever the people are well informed, they can be trusted with their own government.” Jefferson was, of course, an ardent advocate of a free press whose function would be to provide voters with accurate information about the government’s actions in order to assess the competence of their elected leaders.

Today’s corporate media have failed that test spectacularly.

"Consequently, it’s impossible to be “well informed” if you are among the millions of people who rely on the corporate media for news. This may be one of the reasons Renee Good was foolish enough to use her SUV to interfere with a law enforcement operation, ignore multiple commands by federal agents to exit the vehicle, and finally try to escape by ramming an ICE officer. That, despite the fictitious reports widely circulated by the corporate “news” media, is precisely what happened. This video, taken by the ICE officer she struck, clearly shows Good accelerating toward him before he fired on the SUV while trying to avoid being hit. This was just the latest example of a rapidly increasing number of vehicular attacks on ICE officers per the DHS:"... More...



"Perhaps, like me, you have some people in your life you love who vote Democrat.  And perhaps, also like me, you have agreed to disagree on political matters and just to avoid the subject of politics altogether.  If your Democrats are like mine, they’re not loons. They’re just misinformed or uninformed, but they are otherwise reasonable.  This is key:  they are otherwise reasonable." . . .More...
