What any administration highlights is probably important, but what they try to hide is usually more important. What don’t those in power want you to see and why? Finding that information and dragging it into the sunlight used to be what journalism at least pretended to be about. It isn’t anymore. They’ve gone from people claiming to “speak truth to power” to people who repeat whatever certain powerful people tell them to repeat. But you need to know what they aren’t showing you.
These Democrats in the media are desperate to hide from you the truth about the Biden family. That they have more LLCs than most small towns, yet they produce nothing, they offer no goods or services, and still have had millions upon millions of dollars filter through them. How? Why? We don’t know because the only people within earshot of the President would never even consider asking.
They don’t care, for example, that Joe Biden claims the $200,000 from his brother or the $50,000 check from his junkie son Hunter just happened to coincide with large sums of money coming to them from overseas entities for reasons no one can figure out. Joe said it was to replay loans, so the press dutifully repeated that and moved on, but why didn’t the White House provide proof of those loans?
If Joe got back $200,000 from his brother for a no-interest loan, there should be a record of Joe giving his brother $200,000, right? Of course. Same with Hunter’s “loan.” Yet, no proof has been forthcoming, nor has it been asked for. The entirety of the press has simply moved on. No questions asked.
It’s good to be a corrupt Democrat.
Hunter’s laptop is another example. Everyone knew it was his, but the president lied and the lie became what was presented as truth. No one questioned it. You had 51 sell-outs from the “intelligence” community join in the lie, likely for money – directly or indirectly – and face no consequences when their lie was exposed.
It was such an unbelievably stupid lie, too. Which is more believable: a junkie forgets to pick up something they dropped off for repairs because that’s what junkies do, or a foreign government created the most elaborate hoax ever, loading a laptop with thousands of doctored photos, videos, emails and text messages with enough truth to be believable, but not true at all, that they did it on speculation that a crusty old man might run for president one day?
The liberal narrative was always laughably absurd, but it won the day because the liberal media doesn’t exist to give people information, it exists to give people impressions and marching orders. It exists more to hide the truth than it does even to make a profit. Do you think either MSNBC or CNN is living up to their potential earnings or audience share by being the Goebbels wing of the DNC?
It's not just scandals, though, it is everything.
Take this report from this month’s jobs numbers from CNBC. The headline read, “U.S. payrolls increased by 216,000 in December, much better than expected.” Good news, right? Well, not if you read the story.
It opens, “The U.S. labor market closed out 2023 in strong shape as the pace of hiring was even more powerful than expected, the Labor Department reported Friday. December’s jobs report showed employers added 216,000 positions for the month while the unemployment rate held at 3.7%.” That’s all well and good, I guess, but if you keep reading you come to what should be a bigger story, and should add questions to everything you just read.
It continues, “Payroll growth showed a sizable gain from November’s downwardly revised 173,000. October also was revised lower, to 105,000 from 150,000, indicating a slightly less robust picture for growth in the fourth quarter.”
Wait, what? That’s a big “miss,” isn’t it? The jobs numbers for November were reported as being 199,000, that’s a “miss” of 26,000 jobs. For October, the over-reporting was 45,000 jobs. That’s a difference of 71,000 more jobs than really were created in just 2 months.
With that kind of miss, why would anyone believe December’s numbers, or at least not view them with some skepticism? They don’t because the story isn’t reported that way, the truth is obscured, at best, and simply lied about, at worst.
The Democratic Party, and therefore the media, does not want you to see the whole picture because it doesn’t help them. If you see the whole picture there’s a good chance it will lead to questions, and questions are dangerous to the left. Obedience is what they demand and foster, questioning is the antithesis of that. That’s why it doesn’t happen, and they why they try to destroy or discredit anyone who dare do it.
But you need to know what they don’t want you to know, you need to question everyone in power. And you should never trust anyone who discourages doing just that, starting with everyone who holds a press pass.
