With the 2022 midterm elections only weeks away, American voters are rightly concerned the legacy press is willing to tip the scales on behalf of its favored candidates – once again.
In our ongoing series on the American media, we’ve discussed in detail the negative and in many cases, dangerous role the news industry has played in fomenting division, hatred, and in some cases violence. In this newsletter, America’s Future looks at the media’s culpability in what is essentially a sinister conspiracy to defraud the electorate.
For the most part, Americans expect a certain amount of partisanship from our supposedly independent press. The media has leaned liberal for decades and is therefore likely to back Democratic Party candidates. But that’s very different from what the media has done the last three elections. Together with federal law enforcement, crooked government officials, and corrupt D.C. operatives, America’s propaganda press has interfered in the exercise of our most precious right — the right to choose our own government in free and fair elections.
During the 2016 presidential election, the press took their political activism to a whole new level. To put the Democratic Party’s candidate in the White House, the legacy media joined forces with intelligence services, top government officials, and the Party candidate’s organization to peddle the false Russia collusion hoax deviously insisting that the Republican candidate was beholden to a foreign power.
In the 2018 midterms, the press continued pushing “Russia, Russia, Russia” to drive down support for Republican candidates, prolonged and amplified by a special counsel investigation. Though not fully revealed for five years, the glaring deception and First Amendment abuses by the Fourth Estate is likely the most remarkable reveal in modern American history.
Regarding the 2020 Presidential election, recent disclosures by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg demonstrate that federal law enforcement agencies provided social media with a pretext to censor reports of corrupt and illicit dealings of the Democratic Party’s candidate. Despite the utter lack of credible information or corroboration, federal agents and intel officials publicly promoted a drummed-up lie that evidence of the Democratic candidate and his family’s financial entanglements with foreign powers was “disinformation.” As we now know, the “laptop from hell” was authentic.
As for the 2022 vote, there’s already evidence of federal law enforcement and the propaganda press running interference for the Democratic Party — the raid on the former President’s home followed up with an assortment of leaks to the press alleging unlawful possession of secret government documents. All this malicious reporting just before the 2022 midterm is intended to dampen support for Donald Trump’s allies in House and Senate races and distract from the state of our union, now riddled with debilitating challenges like unbearable inflation, rampant violent crime rates, and a wide-open southern border to name a few.
See the playbook? Once you do, you can’t look away.
So, what can be done to counter the media’s propaganda and salacious efforts to interfere in our elections? The remedy, as always, rests with us, the American people. Go out and tell the truth. Tell your family, friends, and neighbors. Some, maybe many, don’t want to hear it, preferring to keep their eyes and ears closed to the frightening reality that the media intends to drag us into a one-party system of tyranny where our liberties are under constant threat. But don’t let that stop you. We have a job to do and America is counting on us.
Speak calmly, with confidence. Remember that you’re telling the truth not just to save the country, but also to stand up for the treasured freedoms and rights of those you love – your families, friends and communities, even if they don’t always see things your way. Speak truth with love and respect and remember that America’s Future invests its faith in the American people and our American way of life.
