"Journalism": Cutting out a rambling answer of an incompetent candidate and pasting in an answer she gave to a different question in order to make her look smarter, in order to help her win an election.
We already know that MSNBC's mission is to help the DNC. One of their executives admitted this to the hidden camera. Now we know the same about CBS. But based on my many posts tagged with "Narratives in Media," we already knew this.
a href="https://x.com/WashburneAlex/status/1843850212713890045">Alex Washburne lays it all out, step by step, in a tweet. Here is his summary:
Anthony Fauci overturned the moratorium on GOFROC, funded the group that wrote the blueprint for SARS-CoV-2, and then used his position as NIAID director to cast doubt on the lab origin theory by(i) pressuring authors to ghostwrite manuscripts claiming a lab origin is implausible
(ii) giving funding to those authors
(iii) advertising their work during official NIAID duties like briefing the American people
(iv) sending the paper in (i) to DoS COVID origins investigators who requested all info on NIAID funded work in Wuhan in 2019
(v) pushing the US to censor a lab origin as “disinformation”
(vi) lying under other about NIAID funding labs in Wuhan, and demonstrating a knowledge of this lie’s consequences by also lying about his connection with Ralph Baric.
Currently, we see a clear pattern of NIAID officials violating federal records laws, misleading to DoS investigators, lying to congress, and hiding their knowledge of risky research behind a thin veil of expertise that an expert like me can confidently see through. Why the lies, ghostwriting, FOIA abuses, perjury, and more?
On a more societal note, why is the media letting Fauci get away with this?

"BREAKING: @MSNBC Producer Admits MSNBC Is 'Doing All They Can to Help’ the Harris Campaign.
During an undercover date with an OMG journalist, Basel Hamdan ( @BaselYHamdan), a writer and producer for MSNBC’s show “Ayman,” (@AymanMSNBC ) was asked what the network has done to assist the Kamala Harris campaign. Hamdan revealed on hidden camera that “what her [Harris’s] message of the day is, is their message of the day,” as MSNBC actively pushes Harris’s narrative to help her win. He admitted that MSNBC is doing “all they can to help,” Harris get elected, with the network operating as an extension of the campaign.
He went on to say, "MSNBC is indistinguishable from the party," further highlighting their partisan agenda.
In discussing the relationships between the MSNBC hosts and Democratic politicians, Hamdan reveals, ”The anchor and the politician are just in total agreement about everything.” He adds, “If you watch an interview with a Democratic politician, they just finish each other's sentences.”
Hamdan also didn’t shy away from criticizing the network’s audience, stating, “They’ve made their viewers dumber over the years,” and explaining that MSNBC is “too cozy with Democratic politicians.”"
Many modern Americans think that the duty of a modern journalist is to make sure that Donald Trump doesn't win the upcoming election. Hamish McKenzie has a different idea that has nothing to do with picking sides in an election. Here's an excerpt:
Journalism is done in the public interest. It’s about finding and sharing the truth, as best it can be determined, and it is essential to a functioning democracy. A journalist’s job can be difficult, especially when it comes to reporting on public figures and those who aspire to high office. Such figures are willing to go to great lengths to hide unfavorable information, and their communications with the public are typically obscured by layers of spin, deflection, misdirection, and sometimes outright lies. These tactics are nonpartisan and have been deployed by candidates of all parties in all countries for time immemorial.Occasionally, though, some light gets through the cracks. Sometimes the journalist gets the story—and then so does the public.
The truth can arrive in many guises: an informant, a whistleblower, a leaked document, even stolen materials. In all cases, parties that don’t want that information to come to light will aggressively move to prevent its distribution. Often they will sow fear and doubt and resort to smearing the reporter. But in many cases, it’s this kind of reporting that is the most indispensable. Think of the New York Times and Washington Post’s coverage of the Pentagon Papers, based on stolen documents, that revealed that the U.S. government had secretly expanded its war in Vietnam; or the Abu Ghraib scandal, in which Seymour Hersh and CBS revealed the U.S. military’s torture and abuse of prisoners in Iraq; or Glenn Greenwald’s coverage for The Guardian exposing the widespread tapping of ordinary Americans’ phones, revealed by the documents leaked by Edward Snowden. It’s in these moments that journalism fulfills its highest calling: holding power to account.
It is the journalist’s burden to resist the pressures of antagonists in pursuit of the truth. At its best, this kind of journalism is a service to us all. Its practitioners need and deserve all the protections that their right to freedom of the press and freedom of expression can offer.
