The Media is the Greatest Enemy of a Free Press
When the White House fights the media cartel, it’s upholding a free press.

And the only people entitled to practice the First Amendment, according to the media, own the media. They don’t need to know basic grammar. They don’t need to have their facts right. They just need to be part of huge media conglomerates with left-wing politics whose mission is attacking conservatives.

What got Karem’s goat (and the goats of the rest of the media herd) was that Sanders had given the first question to Breitbart. And conservative sites are not entitled to the protections of the First Amendment.

A free press is crucial. And when the White House fights for a free press by diversifying the press corps, it’s upholding the spirit of a free press that the media cartel is fighting to kill.

The entire “Fake News” outcry that Karem and the rest of his “honorable” colleagues in the media are whining about began with a media plot to censor conservative sites on social media for “Fake News.”

...

The White House’s battle against the media cartel is the best defense of the First Amendment.

Americans, from the government to the streets, must make it clear that there is no fourth branch of government. Only when the media cartel has been broken, can a free press rise once again.

Ex-HuffPo Editor: News Based on Validating Millennial Biases on Social Media
July 1, 2017
Daniel Greenfield

An interesting observation from Hunter Stuart, a former Huffington Post reporter and editor, at the tail end of an extensive and interesting piece on anti-Israel bias in the media.

Stuart's observations of the entanglement between NGOs and foreign reporters, the pitfalls of trying to report on Hamas and the agenda behind anti-Israel reporting is interesting, but it's the ending that caught my eye.

...

Obviously this is one of the gags behind Clickhole. And it's an interesting phenomenon as a trend when it's overlaid on the campus situation.

The death of objectivity might be the biggest story of the age. And the phenomenon is to some extent generational. But the social media environment also enables it. If the goal is to get likes, it's much easier to do that by incentivizing sharing from motivated users than by trying to tell a larger story. Add in the #Resistance, the insistence that there is an urgent battle and that you're either with us or against us, and there's no room for objectivity or nuance. Just hit Republicans harder. Intersectionality creates a list of enemies and friends. Journalism becomes moral only through advocacy.

You're either an "ally" or oppressor.

CNN tried to ride the wave, the way that the Washington Post has been doing, but it crashed and burned by playing by the old rules. An the Huffington Post was one of the first to innovate this model. It's a real life clickhole, a content farm whose only purpose is to produce viral content at the lowest common denominator made to be shared by likeminded people. The Daily Show's tirades had much the same effect. And CNN Investigates, the unit at the center of the current Fake News scandal, had rolled in BuzzFeed's people. They weren't the source of the problem, but the phenomenon is revealing.

The progressive media will continue to lose the battle so long as they continue their current tactics.

PENCE 2020 AND THE 3 PHASES OF THE MEDIA'S FAKE NEWS TROLLING
August 7, 2017

Daniel Greenfield

1. The invention of the fake news Pence story had two purposes. A. to feed leftist 25th Amendment coup fantasies and B. to cause internal strife in the White House.

Once the media planted its fake news story, it could then...

2. Report on the reaction and run pieces discussing the denials. This gets more mileage out of the original fake news piece. While the denials make it seem as if the story has legs.

...

It's childish and yet it encapsulates the cheap trolling and the agendas behind it.
