Pravada and Izvestia

The media are enemies of the people. / July 17, 2021

Pravada (truth) and Izvestia (news) were two propagander organs that masqueraded as newspapers in the old Soviet Union.

Soviet citizens had a saying…

“There is no news in Pravda and no truth in Izvestia”.

I would contend that the New York Times and The Washington Post are the present contemporaries of those infamous broadsheets.

And practically all other major newspapers in the country follow their lead, all the way down to your local newspaper.

Of course it’s not just the dead tree media (a misnomer, as news’papers’ have given way to digital media). All broadcast media is exactly the same, even Fox news hasn’t escaped the progressive infection.

Fortunateley Fox news still retains a conservative group of journalist that still refuses to bend the knee to progressivism. People like Hannity, Carlson, Gutfeld, & Jeanine Pirro and others.

I’m sure there are certain Fox executives and journalist are gnashing their teeth, but if the idea of a business is to earn profit from advertising, and what you can charge for commerical time depends on ratings (viewership). Fox is #1 ! Surprise, suprise.
