MONOKULTUR

Den nye Trump regering har foretaget en ændring i adgangen til Det Hvide Hus, så andre medier også fra internettets mange podcastere og influencere tilgodeses på pressemøder og sørge for at der sker en hvis rotation, så man undgår fraternitet, indspisthed og monopoler. Det lyder i danske medier, som her i MSN, således

I et træk, der har rystet pressekorpset, har Det Hvide Hus forhindret Reuters, Associated Press og andre prominente medier i at dække præsident Donald Trumps første kabinetsmøde i hans anden periode (via Reuters).

I stedet gives medieadgang nu selektivt til organisationer, der er mere på linje med administrationen, såsom Newsmax og The Blaze, mens mangeårige pressemedlemmer står over for eksklusion.

Administrationen retfærdiggør politikken som en nødvendig opdatering af pressens adgang i mindre rum som Det Ovale Kontor, hvilket tilsidesætter den traditionelle White House Correspondents’ Association’s rolle i at styre dækningen.

Problemet er ikke det selektive, men at det ikke er de etablerede medier der bestemmer og ‘styrer dækningen’. Miranda Devine har ikke meget tilovers for den reaktion i New York Post

The WHCA reacted to this savage diminution of its power with hyperbolic claims: “This move tears at the independence of a free press in the United States.”

No it doesn’t.

The WHCA is a private club that wants to keep control of the narrative, just like it did in the first Trump administration when derogatory stories about the president were amplified, hoaxes were treated like Pulitzer material and anything else was ignored.

Where was the WHCA when the Obama administration was spying on then-Fox reporter James Rosen’s email and phone records?

It acts like a cartel, ridiculing and ostracizing conservative voices.

Remember Chanel Rion from OANN?

The WHCA tried to banish her from the White House.

She had to bring her own folding deck chair and sit in the back of the briefing room.

Rachel Maddow is not the only leftist complaining about how hard she has to work for her $25 million now that Trump is back as a veritable scoop machine.

For Trump’s first 100 days, MSNBC has brought her back five days a week now instead of one, and she whines about “the chaotic cadence of there being no normal days.” Easier when Biden napped through his presidency.

It’s unlikely that any journalist not under the strict control of the narrative police would have ignored Biden’s obvious cognitive decline over the past four years and played along with the obvious ruse that all that ailed the oldest president in history was a childhood stutter.

MSNBC kører hårdt på DOGE, Department Of Government Efficiency, som de mener kun skaber kaos, med de voldsomme nedskæringer, der beskrives som en motorsav, hvor en skalpel er at foretrække. Ironisk nok, som Scott Adams pointerede, er MSNBC selv igang med voldsomme fyringsrunder, og man kunne passende spørge de fritstillede om de oplevede en form for orden i processen. Lederen af Demokraterne i Senatet, veteranen Chuck Schumer er også forfærdet over at statsansatte skal stå til regnskab for deres aktiviteter og sagde “No good business operator would take the slash and burn approach that DOGE is taking.” uden tanke på et Musk havde erhvervet sig Twitter og gjort det til en overskudsforretning efter at have skilt sig af med 75% af medarbejderne i løbet af et par uger.

På MSNBC er den racismespruttende vært Joy Reid således også blevet afskediget, og hun dukkede grædende frem på sin podcast og sagde at hun altid havde prøvet at gøre sit bedste når hun udskammede andre og krævede dem fyret for ikke at acceptere diversitets-programmer, vacciner eller bare for at være hvide mænd. Når man forlader meritter skal man ikke undre sig over at kvaliteten falder og kunderne falder fra. Så hvor skal man så skære, for at kunne vende den synkende skude? “It is also unnerving to see that on a network where we’ve got two non-white hosts in primetime, both of our non-white hosts in primetime are losing their shows…” som en anden af stationens markante værter, den ovenfor omtalte Rachel Maddow bemærkede “That feels indefensible and I do not defend it” – revolutionen æder sine egne børn.

Heller på CNN forstår man behovet for DOGE, skrev Beth Brelje i The Federalist, hvor sympatien blev lagt besynderligt hos stakkels CIA ansatte

In the piece, CNN warned, “As the CIA weighs staff cuts, current and former intelligence officials say that mass firings could offer a rich recruitment opportunity for foreign intelligence services — like China or Russia — who may seek to exploit financially vulnerable or resentful former employees.”

The piece goes on.

 “… on the CIA’s 7th floor — home to top leadership — some officers are also quietly discussing how mass firings and the buyouts already offered to staff risk creating a group of disgruntled former employees who might be motivated to take what they know to a foreign intelligence service.” (So “quietly,” apparently, that CNN could hear them, as Federalist Editor-in-Chief Mollie Hemingway pointed out.)

Is that a threat from the CIA? Is CNN reporting that Trump should keep everyone employed because, if he doesn’t, former CIA agents will spill U.S. secrets to our enemies? Apparently so.

But if that’s the case, these are exactly the employees who should be fired. Those with too little integrity to exit with grace should not be employed in jobs with access to sensitive information. The CIA employees CNN describes should not be trusted with any more secrets.

Det er således, pressen benægter ‘den dybe stat’, mens den svælger i at gøre den til et offer med en retfærdig kamp mod folkets regering. Det Hvide Hus Presseforening repræsenterer kun vigtige medier fordi den i forne tider, satte sig selv ind som ledvogter mellem præsidenten og folket og således blev vigtige ved at kontrollere dagsordenen og vinklingen og perceptionen af virkeligheden. Det var den der var helt tæt på den tidligere præsident Joe Biden og kunne se hans forfald for deres egne øjne og aldrig røbede det for folket. 

Billedet ovenfor, af den sammenbrudte præsident der kæmper med at forstå sin egen regerings ondsindede fadæse i Afghanistan, kan være ophavsretligt beskyttet af et eller andet ledvogtermedie White House Correspondents’ Association’ havde tilgodeset. Alle der var til stede tog det samme billede fra lidt forskellige vinkler, fordi kunsten ikke handler om at tage billedet, men blot at være til stede. Det var forretningsmodellen, som det amerikanske folk betalte.

“CNN’s Jake Tapper, who actively participated in the conspiracy to cover up Joe Biden’s obvious mental and physical decline, has a book coming out that promises to “take us behind closed doors and into private conversations between the heaviest of hitters, revealing how big the problem was and how many people knew about it.”” skrev John Nolte i Breitbart. “What is sad is that Tapper’s co-author is Alex Thompson, one of the only — if not the only — corporate media reporter who was willing to actively point to Biden’s decline before the infamous June of 2024 presidential debate.”

Hurtigt huskede internettet på Tappers mange løgne, især hans konfrontation med Laura Trump, Savanah Hernandez, som også Greg Gutfeld herunder, der kommer ind på den mærkelige forklaring medierne fandt, at Biden stammede som ung – alligevel lykkedes

Greg Gutfeld: Jake Tapper’s book on Biden is a little late

Tappers bog bygger på indsiders og den dårlige stemning i Det Hvide Hus, som pressen åbenbart er helt afhængige af, for at fortælle dem at Præsidenten var smeltet, hvad alle kunne se. I New York Post fortalte en tidligere medarbejder ved Bidens Hvide Hus, hvorledes det fungerede i al venskabelighed. “There are some things that are true, I mean, like the gaslighting” sagde Michael LaRosa frimodigt, “And I will use the term gaslighting because that’s what they were doing, the campaign, former colleagues.”

But behind the scenes, the Biden campaign was terrified of letting him fly solo, according to LaRosa.

“The president’s team was scared to death of impromptu, unscripted, unrehearsed, unpracticed, unchoreographed, anything, they couldn’t compete for the attention economy,” he said.

“They just couldn’t do it. They didn’t have any idea. And they didn’t have the vessel either in Biden, by the way, who would have done anything. He loves TV. He loves doing stuff. It was the orbit that did not trust their own candidate.

“Biden needed the press. When he needed them the most, they didn’t trust him, they gave him the back foot of the doubt and they put their foot on the gas and never took it off. And he was politically dead.”

Den slags holder ikke sig selv hemmeligt, der er nogle der skal trynes på plads, det er trods alt essensen af en totalitær tankegang. Lindy Li, tidligere fundraiser for Demokraterne, der forlod partiet desillusioneret efter valget, fortalte bevæget The Young Turks

In 2022, that’s when they really started lying about it, like gung ho aggressively lying about it. I  tried… I leaked to the press that they were. But you would be ostracised, you would be destroyed if you dared to say that Biden had cognitive decline. They just didn’t allow you to say it, you couldn’t even question it internally.

But that was all donors were talking about and all of us knew what was going on, it was like, the emperor had no close on, situation. And then we all had to pretend that Biden was something like God, this demigod who was magnanimous that he could do no wrong, and then he leaves and all the last days pardons his entire family.

It’s just so destructive to all of our institutions and it undermines any argument about Trump being corrupt, when you can just point to Biden doing the same thing essentially. So I’m just sick and tired of the blatant hypocrisy, the excommunication tactics, the fact that you can’t ask any questions… I tried to reform the party from within, but they wouldn’t have it. They banned me.

The first moment, I mean within a week of me asking questions, I was taking of all the lists. and at that time, i was just asking questions, I wasn’t even criticising, and they wouldn’t even hear it. It was just unbelievable that they were so quick to ostracise me just for raising questions, after I raised millions for them, after I organized, after I gave everything, I gave everything I had to the party…

“The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears” skrev George Orwell

It was their final, most essential command. His heart sank as he thought of the enormous power arrayed against him, the ease with which any Party intellectual would overthrow him in debate, the subtle arguments which he would not be able to understand, much less answer. And yet he was in the right! They were wrong and he was right.
