There's More Than One Way to Shape a Narrative™

Hoaxes are the most obvious thing that the transnational elite use to shape The Narrative™, and they have the most powerful megaphone in world history with which to do it: the Pravda Media.

Decades of investment amounting to hundreds of billions of dollars, thousands of “journalists” and the backing of multi-billion dollar multinational corporations, and near ubiquity give the Pravda Media, even in its diminished state, enormous power to shape how people think.

Then there is the censorship complex, of course, and the bevy of “experts” attesting to things. “Experts say.” “51 Intelligence officials.” “97% of Scientists agree…” And so on.

But just as powerful as what the establishment says is what they don’t, or how they cover the things which have indeed happened but not quite how they say.

We saw that with the deportation of the MS-13 gang member to El Salvador. He was a “father,” not a gang leader. He had a protection order preventing deportation, not “he was an illegal alien ordered deported, just not the El Salvador.” You were given part of the story that made him look sympathetic, not the whole story. Because the whole story would make people shrug.

Did you deport a MS-13 gang member? Good. Are you worried he would be killed in El Salvador?

Oh well. Too bad for him. If the whole story were told the opinion of most people would be “wrong,” so the media didn’t tell the whole story. Yes, a mistake was made. Given how many mistakes the government makes every day this one ranks as #975765758 on my list of caring. How about fixing the trillion dollars of fraud bankrupting the country?

Networks Spend 10x More Time on Student Arrest Than Gang Leader Capture—That’s the liberal media for you..🤷🏻‍♂️ https://t.co/Ue8UrtKHn6

A great example of selective attention was presented by Newsbusters, who do a great job exposing Pravda.

You may recall that Kash Patel’s FBI has been on a roll, catching the most wanted criminals in America at an astounding rate (almost as if putting 1/5th of the FBI on the task of finding trespassers was a distraction from law enforcement), and that it captured a top MS-13 gang leader.

How much attention did that get?

Not much. 60 Minutes spent infinitely more time celebrating the use of German goon squads to track down memers in Germany than all the news media did on catching one of the most dangerous men in America.

On March 27 the Trump administration scored a big win with the Virginia arrest of a top MS-13 leader. The day before (March 26) alleged Hamas-supporter and Tufts University student Rumeysa Ozturk was picked up by ICE agents.

So which arrest did the leftist news outlets care more about? The arrest of the Turkish student Ozturk.

From March 26 (when the cables first started reporting on Ozturk’s arrest) through March 27 ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and MSNBC devoted a total of 119 minutes, 18 seconds to the Ozturk case, but just 11 minutes, 42 seconds to the MS-13 leader capture.

That’s ten times more coverage to Ozturk than the capture of MS-13 leader Henrry Josue Villatoro Santos.

In fact, ABC, CBS, NBC didn’t devote a single second to the violent terrorist gang leader’s arrest.

That’s right. The deportation of a man on a student visa warranted 10x the news coverage than given to the capture of a man who had led the campaign to terrorize Americans.

Both stories were driven by a Narrative that the transnational elite wanted pushed. Kindly foreign student whose only concern is finding the meaning of life and giving back to humanity vs meanie Orange Man gets deported. Good for the Narrative.

Violent criminal gang leader being captured? That mean Orange Man looks good and immigrants look bad, so bury it.

We see this all the time. I remember when The New York Times finally–after years of denial–admitted that the Hunter Biden laptop was real. It was buried so far into a story on his prosecution that about .01% of readers would ever see it. I forget the exact number of paragraphs into the story, but it was deeeeepppp.

How you report a story and how much you cover it matters just as much as whether you do. If you spend seconds on one story and tons of time on another, you know which one will have the impact. These are very conscious choices.

NPR didn’t cover the story because, in their words, it was a non-story. A distraction.

Perhaps the most insane NPR thing was when they tweeted out a graphic to quote their own managing editor to broadcast their decision to bury the Hunter Biden laptop story on the eve of the election because it was a “waste” of attention on “just pure distractions.” pic.twitter.com/oHCPSjdzt7
