Political & Media Bias – Engineering Ideological Manipulation

The only alternative is ‘Pay Television’ and a smaller list of right wing conservative platforms, 6 (USA), 1 (Australia).

The Left-Wing media have been engineering their enormous power for ideological manipulation of populations, to influence elections, to promote their policies and to dictate their demands onto the people that blindly accept whatever they claim without question, in essence, worshipping false messages over their own interpretation of the truth.

The wide availability of user-provided content in online social media, facilitates the aggregation of people around common interests, worldviews and narratives but the internet also allows for the rapid dissemination of intentionally untruthful and misleading claims that often elicit rapid alarmist social responses. In the USA, the Left-Wing progressive Democrat Party supported by Facebook, Twitter & Youtube perpetrated a regular stream of outright lies and deception, in plain sight of the world and continued to fabricate false evidence to sustain the duration of these messages that were intended to manipulate the population for the purpose of changing their voter preferences.

What is astonishing is that the mainstream media around the world further expanded the strength of this deception by accepting these false claims as being legitimate. In Australia, US politics, especially everything to do with President Trump, featured on television, print, on-line and on social media on a daily basis, effectively regurgitating these stories verbatim without ever questioning their validity. Eventually, most of the sensationalised stories were deemed to be Fake News, so gradually, one by one, the retractions started to come out with statements like “our sources were inaccurate”, confirming that they “misstated their quotes” and ‘Fact Checks’ restated what the truth actually was.

In contrast, in Australia, no such retractions have ever been made by the ABC, SBS or channels 7, 9 and Ten despite countless negative stories that they reported on from 2014 to the present day. This is because the collective media in Australia has no respect for its charter, is not accountable by law to present the truth and because journalists regard themselves as untouchable, privileged elitists that can say and do whatever they please without any consequences. What’s worse is that they are recognised and revered at the annual Media Federation Awards (MFA) which cover up any truth because justice is no longer held in high esteem as in prior decades – This is Media Corruption.

To identify bias by omission often requires research beyond the snippets included in daily news updates, which in reality only occurs in a small percentage of the population as most people don’t have the inclination or time to search for and understand any views that conflict with what they have read or heard, which by default, they accept as gospel.

Whilst books and studies have no credibility without footnotes or references, the TV/Print/Social Media machine often ask you to simply trust and believe them.  This can be the most damaging bias, especially when the media build a crisis, by sensationalising their claims and then refuse to report the facts that oppose their earlier reporting – Bad News Sells.

After applying Bias by Omission, ‘News Reports’ end up being nothing more than propaganda pieces for that ideology, leaving the viewer/reader without important facts about the subject, which then translates into misinformation and lies being spread into the broader community.  The facts that have been intentionally withheld from the news report are directly manipulating the naïve audience towards a conclusion that they may not have accepted if they had received a balanced submission of the facts and a comprehensive summary of all the information.

To support their manufactured claims, TV stations regularly extend their messaging by leveraging another Bias by Selection of Sources and including only experts and/or broadcast time that support Left-Wing views over those of the Conservative Right.  They’re introduced using phrases like “Experts Believe” or “Observers Say” or “Most People Believe” – the tried, tested and perfected methods used by the ABC, SBS, 7, 9 & Ten in Australia where the only alternative views available in Australia are from SKY News (Pay TV).

In the USA, the majority of media outlets choose stories that agree with the Progressive Agenda and completely ignore stories that don’t and that actually hurt the Left-Wing position.  One such example was evident following the attack on a U.S. diplomatic compound and a nearby CIA annex in the city of Benghazi, Libya, on September 11–12, 2012, which resulted in the deaths of four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador to Libya, the first violent death of a U.S. ambassador since 1988. The incident sparked controversy and ignited a political firestorm in the United States.

As the U.S. government began to investigate the incident, initial remarks from officials were vague and contradictory.

In the days following the attacks, officials in the Obama administration reported that the incident was related to demonstrations that same day that occurred outside the U.S. embassy in Cairo, after an Egyptian-American had produced and posted an anti-Islam video on YouTube, but, no evidence of similar protests in Benghazi could be substantiated.  During the House Benghazi Committee hearing it was found that Barrack Obama and Hillary Clinton lied repeatedly to the American people about the nature of and reasons for the 2012 terror attacks.  The Obama White House chose to deceive and intentionally mislead Americans rather than risk the public relations firestorm of admitting terrorists had struck Americans overseas, less than two months before Obama’s re-election day.

A comprehensive 800-page report scathingly apportioned blame to the Obama administration, finding that it lied about what caused the attacks which claimed the lives and that it put up roadblocks to impede the investigation by refusing to let key witnesses testify.  In addition, the existence of 100,000 emails and files which were saved onto Hillary Clinton’s home server, that only came to light because of the investigation but which were never investigated also hid the truth.

Fox News is the only media company that covered the story whilst the ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, completely buried it until well after Obama was re-elected.  However, when they eventually did cover the story, they used Bias by Omission to minimise the public’s knowledge and understanding as to the depth of Obama and Hillary’s lies.

Spin and personal bias are always introduced by a TV presenter’s comments, tone, body language, and interpretation of the events, use of sources and omission of details and facts.  The media’s power to label people is one of its most subtle, and potent mechanisms for introducing Bias by Spin.  Responsible conservatives are sometimes stigmatised as ‘Far Right’, ‘Ultra-Conservative’, or ‘Right-Wing Extremists’, whilst Radicals/Marxists, are called ‘Progressives’.

Up until the late 90’s, there used to be an unwritten law, a standard of excellence, a Journalistic integrity that instilled in  Reporters, Writers, and Program Editors that they would try to balance the overall presentation for an un-biased final report, emphasising certain aspects of a news story in the hope that other aspects would be ignored.  Since then, the massive global expansion of digital misinformation has become overwhelmingly pervasive in online social media.  To change this trend, algorithmic-driven solutions are regularly being developed by Google, Twitter, Facebook & Youtube.

These ‘solutions’ are controversial because they raise concerns about the free circulation of content which may be threatened and that the proposed algorithms may not be accurate or effective.  It also brings into question, the motives and biases of social media companies like Facebook, Twitter, Reddit and a host of others as they assume the responsibility of deciding what information is posted and what is suppressed by hiding behind algorithms that are engineered by individuals that can manipulate filters to suit their ideological (Left-Wing) agenda.

Whether a claim (either substantiated or not) is accepted by an individual, is strongly influenced by social norms and by the claim’s coherence with the individual’s belief system which translates to confirmation bias.  A number of cascade dynamics animate the flow of false information that generates false beliefs in an individual, which, once adopted, are rarely corrected.  The mainstream media, social media and print media with its Left-Wing Bias supported by Progressive politicians are collectively engineering ideological manipulation to coercively influence people’s mindsets and are not concerned with spreading lies in the pursuit of their objectives.

In April of 2019, a water-damaged MacBook Pro, belonging to Hunter Biden was dropped off for repair at a Delaware computer shop that the individual who dropped it off never returned to collect.  Three weeks before the US 2020 federal election, The New York Post revealed emails from Hunter Biden’s laptop that raised questions about his  father’s ties to his son’s foreign business ventures, including Burisma, a Ukrainian natural gas company linked to corruption.

Senate Republicans revealed the findings of their investigation into Hunter Biden’s overseas business dealings in September 2020, stating that the Barrack Hussein Obama administration ignored “glaring warning signs” when the then, Vice President’s son joined the board of Burisma despite the fact that he had no qualifications or energy experience.  Hunter Biden’s position with the energy company, which paid him just under $50,000 per month ($600,000 per annum) created an immediate conflict of interest because his father (Joe Biden) was involved in US policy with Ukraine.

When The New York Post published the first explosive story on the Hunter Biden emails, Facebook and Twitter took unprecedented actions to suppress it.  Facebook moved to suppress the Post article’s reach by not allowing users to share the story, even before an independent fact check could be performed.  Twitter suspended the accounts of the Trump campaign, the White House Press Secretary, and a Congressional Committee and locked The New York Post’s account as well as the accounts of 300,000 influential Twitter users and also demanded the newspaper delete six tweets that linked to the stories based on files from the abandoned laptop in order to regain its Twitter account access.  Facebook & Twitter colluded to suppress the story and help Joe Biden win the Presidency.

Twitter, Facebook and the media at large deliberately kept the Hunter Biden story out of the news. The laptop was seized by the FBI in December of 2020, even though it was brought to their attention in September, 2 months before the election. This is Clear Evidence that the FBI are biased and left-leaning in their charter of investigation because they suppressed the story and their investigation in support of the Democrats.

Neither Hunter nor Joe Biden have ever denied that the laptop or the information in it is not true or that the laptop was not theirs.  Investigators have since verified the emails and other information on the laptop by cross-referencing them with Tony Bobolinsky’s (former business partner of Hunter’s) from the three phones he handed over to the Wall Street Journal and the FBI.  Under the watchful gaze of the Biden administration, it is unlikely that the FBI will ever release information, no matter how corrupt the practices of Hunter Biden and the collusion with his father were whilst Joe Biden is President.  This example of corruption will be buried by the Democrats, the FBI and by the compliant media.

Refusing to cover the explosive Hunter Biden story in the lead-up to the election, mainstream media outlets ignored a devastating corruption scandal involving a major party candidate. Rather than cover the story as it developed, media outlets decided to characterise it as Russian propaganda, even though the Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe, the FBI, and the Department of Justice all rebutted that claim.

National Public Radio announced it would not cover the scandal, stating “We don’t want to waste our time on stories that are not really stories, and we don’t want to waste the listeners’ and readers’ time on stories that are just pure distractions,” This is an example of Media Bias by Suppression. This also highlights a Bias by Political Preference in that the same claim was not applied to President Trump, rather, he was attacked by the media from day 1 on everything.

At a Senate hearing weeks after The Post’s return to the site, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey stated “We recognise it as a mistake that we made, both in terms of the intention of the policy and also the enforcement action of not allowing people to share it publicly or privately”.  Jack Dorsey’s apology was worthless and of no consequence because he achieved his objective, motivated by his Left Wing preferences to support the Democrats, he successfully kept the story away from the public until just 6 days before the election thereby limiting the time for any investigation.

In the years following World War 2, there have been 8 unsuccessful attempts by world leaders, including 3 US Presidents, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton & George W Bush to achieve a peace deal in the Middle East, but it wasn’t until the 9^th attempt by the Trump administration on August 13^th 2020, that success was formally attained with the signing of an agreement declaring Israel and the United Arab Emirates would establish formal diplomatic ties.  Three more countries, Sudan, Morocco and Bahrain signed peace deals with Israel, in what many diplomats called the ‘Deal of the Century’.

Despite the historic nature of this agreement it hasn’t received the kind of coverage it deserved.  The lack of attention was most likely due to the reluctance of the mainstream media to give President Trump, his senior adviser and son-in-law Jarred Kushner and Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu any credit for advancing peace in the Middle East.

Most of these developments would have been considered impossible, pie-in-the-sky pipe dreams, especially without the involvement of the Palestinians. Yet they happened, and these historic diplomatic successes have brought Trump multiple Nobel Prize nominations but because of collective political and media bias will never be awarded to him.

According to an analysis from the Media Research Center (MRC), the network news outlets effectively buried these monumental achievements, dedicating only 9 minutes, 8 seconds to the historic peace deals over the course of 33 days.

CBS Evening News spent just over 2 minutes, on the Middle East deals. NBC Nightly News dedicated, under 3 minutes.  ABC’s World News Tonight stretched the news out to just over 4 minutes.  In light of the fact that President Joe Biden is cancelling and undoing as many of the Trump Administration’s achievements since taking office, it’s very likely that the historic Peace Deal will disintegrate prior to the end of Joe Biden’s first 4 year term in 2024.

Often, politicians and media companies will blatantly lie, twist and take information out of context and assert the notion that an ‘Anonymous Source’ that usually ends up being wrong, is used as the foundation of propagating deception on a gullible and unsuspecting public that naively accept lies easily and without question.

In the Edelman Trust Barometer 2021 survey, 56 to 59 per cent of people in 27 countries said journalists, governments and business leaders deliberately mislead people with false information, believing that news organisations are more concerned with promoting an ideology than informing the public. Trust in traditional media declined 8 points to 53 per cent and fell to 35 per cent in social media. CEO Richard Edelman commented: “media sources are seen as politicised and biased. The result is, increased divisiveness”.

In a review of media coverage, MRC viewed 1,007 evening news stories about the Trump White House on ABC, CBS and NBC from June 1^st to September 30^th 2018, approximately 32.7 hours of TV coverage.  What they found was, as Trump himself might say, sad: “Over the summer, the broadcast networks have continued to pound Donald Trump and his team with the most hostile coverage of a president in TV news history – 92% negative, vs. just 8% positive.”

Eventually, a tiny slither of highly questionable media stories are investigated and fact checked to validate or invalidate whether the claims or assertions made are truthful.  Unfortunately, the pursuit of truth is not the primary motivation of media outlets or left-wing governments, rather, it’s the dissemination of facts to promote sensationalist stories engineered for ideological manipulation – It’s all about the Votes.  Below are a few examples of where media outlets, caught lying, were forced to retract their deceitful stores:

When senior Obama intelligence officials leaked to CNN that they had briefed President-Elect Trump on the existence of the ‘Russian Dossier’ full of compromising claims about him, it was absolutely explosive.  It was claimed that classified documents presented by President Obama to President-Elect Trump included allegations that Russian operatives were said to have compromising personal and financial information about Mr. Trump.

The allegations were presented in a two-page synopsis that was appended to a report on Russian interference in the 2016 election. The allegations came, in part, from memos compiled by a former British Intelligence Operative, whose past work US intelligence officials considered credible. The FBI investigated the credibility and accuracy of these allegations, which were based primarily on information from Russian sources, but did not confirm many essential details in the memos about Mr. Trump.  The unlikely heroes of this story were the team at BuzzFeed.com, who published the actual dossier almost immediately after CNN’s story went live.

However, publishing the dossier revealed to everyone how unbelievably nonsensical it was. It didn’t make Trump look bad, it made the intelligence chiefs who claimed to be taking it seriously look like a bunch of amateurs.  The man who wrote it had paid sources for information using middlemen.  Allegations contained in the document were immediately disproven, such as one “collusion” claim about a meeting between a Trump attorney and a Russian official in Prague. The attorney had never visited Prague.

Following the BuzzFeed publication, the document included basic errors of fact, claims that were verifiably wrong, financially outlandish claims, sexually fraudulent claims, implausible political claims, and contradictory information on business deals.  The words “suggests,” “indicates,” “suspected,” “possibly”, “may,” “not conclusive,” and “possible” were not enough to stop hundreds of hours of coverage from the mainstream media.  This was blatant Bias & Collusion!

The official summary of the Muller report about alleged Russian collusion stated there was no clear evidence of it.  Trump support staff did not directly deal with the Russian government prior to the President’s inauguration and as such could not be incriminated in the conspiratorial notion that Trump might be a compromised foreign agent.

New York Times False Report that scientists were afraid of the Trump administration planning not to publish a climate-change study but the study had actually already been available to the public for seven months. In a correction, the New York Times lied, claiming that the report “was uploaded to a non-profit internet digital library in January but received little attention until it was published by the New York Times”.  This completely ignored the fact that the study had been previously reported on by the Washington Post.

A False Report surfaced saying what President Trump said about Charlottesville that there were good people on the white supremacists side. This was a blatant lie based on a doctored quote which was created to attack Trump and the Republican Party.  This is the actual and complete quote: “You had some very bad people in that group, but you also had people that were very fine people on both sides. You had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down of, to them, a very, very important statue and the renaming of a park from Robert E. Lee to another name…I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and White Nationalists because they should be condemned totally”.

Publications such as the New York Times, CNN, and Politico inaccurately portrayed conversations, the state of the president’s finances, his dealings with Russia and a variety of other facts about the president throughout his 4 year presidency.  Most notably, many media figures pushed the narrative that Trump and members of his campaign colluded with Russians to influence the 2016 election.  Special counsel Robert Mueller found no evidence supporting claims that Trump or his campaign colluded with Russians to influence the 2016 election. 

In December 2017, ABC News’s Brian Ross reported that presidential candidate Trump ordered then-national security adviser Michael Flynn to make contact with the Russians prior to his election. Ross’s anonymously sourced report sent the stock market tumbling. Subsequent reporting showed that it was Trump who asked Flynn to contact Russians collaborating on issues like ISIS. ABC News suspended Ross (but didn’t fire him).

During a May 2018 White House press briefing, Trump referred to MS-13 gang members as “animals” – a statement that the media quickly took out of context intentionally.  The New York Times, the Washington Post and ABC News all reported that Trump had called all asylum seekers animals, a False News story that quickly spread like wildfire.

Fact Check: Trump Called MS-13 Gang Members ‘Animals,’ Not Immigrants.

Media and politicians spread the False Story that Trump called the coronavirus a “hoax” in February 2020 that contributed to a surge of Covid-19 Hysteria.  The Daily Caller’s Check Your Fact traced this to a Politico headline reading “Trump rallies his base to treat coronavirus as a ‘hoax’”.  Multiple fact checks, such as The Associated Press, CNN, BBC and Annenberg Public Policy Center, have since confirmed that the president never called the coronavirus a “hoax.”

A False Report by CNN claiming then-White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci had ties to Russia.  Report retracted & 3 CNN staff members including Pulitzer-Prize nominee Thomas Frank, Assistant Managing Editor Eric Lichtblau, Pulitzer Prize winner and Lex Harris, Executive Editor in charge of investigations all resigned over the incident.

NBC & The New York Times (NYT) misstated that Rudolph W. Giuliani received a formal warning from the FBI about Russian disinformation.  The New York Times said in its correction posted at the bottom of the online story. “Mr. Giuliani did not receive such a so-called defensive briefing.” NBC, meanwhile, said it had corrected the “premise and headline” of its original story stating that its story “was based on a source familiar with the matter, but a second source now says the briefing was only prepared for Giuliani and not delivered to him.”

In March 2020, the mainstream media started attacking Trump and other Republicans for claiming that the COVID-19 Virus was released from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.  CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC, USA Today as well as a host of other Left Wing Media Outlets claimed back in March 2020 to have “debunked the lab rumour”.  Just 3 months into Joe Biden’s presidency, the same media are all stating that “scientific consensus has shifted.”  The narrative is changing, the Wall Street Journal, citing U.S. intelligence sources reported that three Wuhan researchers were hospitalised with Covid-like symptoms in November 2019, shortly before the first virus case was reported.  When Trump said it, he was lambasted by the media, now all of a sudden it’s plausible – This is Political & Media Bias working in unison.

In March 2021, 2 months into Joe Biden’s presidency, the left-wing media assassins, spread a news story claiming that President Trump urged Georgia’s chief elections investigator to find “dishonesty” that could help overturn the State’s election results, according to audio of a December 2020 phone call obtained from the Secretary of State’s office.  US media outlets including CNN, ABC News, NBC News and USA Today all subsequently claimed that they had “confirmed” The Washington Post’s reporting.  However, a newly surfaced recording, which had been deleted from Ms Watson’s device and was only recovered by officials responding to a freedom-of-information request – revealed the quotes attributed to President Trump, and relayed to media by an “anonymous source”, were false.

Two months after the bombshell story about a leaked Donald Trump phone call, the Washington Post that ran it made a stunning admission by retracting its previous claims.  The Washington Post added a lengthy correction to its original story, admitting that it “misquoted” Mr Trump based on “information provided by a source”.  “The recording revealed that The Post misquoted Trump’s comments on the call, based on information provided by a source. Trump did not tell the investigator to ‘find the fraud’ or say she would be ‘a national hero’ if she did so.

Instead, Trump urged the investigator to scrutinise ballots in Fulton County, Georgia, asserting she would find ‘dishonesty’ there.  CNN also issued a correction to its original story that included the same quotes, saying they came from “a source with knowledge of the call”.  “The story was updated following the discovery of an audio recording of the call.”

The false quotes were included in House Democrats’ impeachment brief.  The media and the Democrats tried to impeach President Trump based on misattributed quotes (more commonly referred to as Lies).  The only reason the correction was made is because the recording was released.  Trump said no such thing, more importantly, the correction also means that the House impeachment trial brief used to try President Trump for “Incitement of Insurrection” contains not one but at least two major falsehoods.  Those falsehoods are in the memorandum because House Impeachment Managers relied on leftist mainstream-media accounts of Trump’s actions and statements before and after the election to build their case.

Over the span of his 4 year presidency, Donald Trump endured, relentless attacks by the media, false accusations from Left-Wing Democrat politicians, attacks on his family, questions around his integrity, the world over and assertions that he was unfit to be President.  This is Evil intent by Politicians and the Media.  Following these claims, he was pressured into undertaking a cognitive test to assess his orientation, short-term memory, executive function, language abilities, attention and visuospatial ability, which he did and for which he achieved a perfect score of 30 out of 30.  The screening test is intended to assess mild cognitive impairment or early dementia.

Symptoms that would prompt giving someone the exam include patients repeating themselves, forgetting recent events multiple instances of forgetting details of topics and conversations.  All of the symptoms of which President Biden has displayed multiple times and that continue to be suppressed by the main stream media, yet there are multiple examples available for everyone to watch on YouTube.  Yet he hasn’t been pressured to undertake the test – This is Bias.

Left-Wing Governments & Media are engineering ideological constructs, often in an untruthful manner to influence viewers, readers and listeners opinions for the purpose of manipulating their political views that are ultimately intended to change their government voting preferences.  In recent years, there has been a very one-sided view, dominating the overwhelming majority of media outlets that restrict Conservative (right side of the political spectrum) opinions and ideology, by not presenting any balanced viewpoints, often denigrating Conservatives by hurling slurs like ‘Conspiracy Theorist’ or ‘White Supremist’ simply for having different views.

The collective media have intentionally positioned their stories to engineer ideological manipulation by convincing their audience to accept ‘their version of the truth’ and in doing so have deceived billions of people into breaking God’s Ninth (9^th) Commandment, “Thou Shalt Not Bear False Witness” (Exodus 20:16) multiple times over their lifetimes.

Journalists and Politicians the world over have been incessantly lying and deceiving humanity for many years, all in the pursuit of supporting their preferred political parties and laying claim to worldly objectives.  Herein is the foundation of their eventual demise, by prioritising their sinful and deceitful actions over Truth & Justice, they have committed themselves to Satan and their reward will be eternal damnation.  Enclosed below are some scripture extracts written 2-3,000 years ago intended to guide all of humanity in the pursuit of living together peacefully and without malice.

Revelation 21:8

But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”

 Proverbs 19:9

A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who breathes out lies will perish.

 Proverbs 6:16-19

There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers.

 John 8:43-47

Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to hear my word. You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies. But because I tell the truth, you do not believe me. Which one of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me? Whoever is of God hears the words of God. The reason why you do not hear them is that you are not of God.”

 James 1:26 ESV

If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person’s religion is worthless.

 John 3:16-21

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed.
