Emerald Robinson The Right Way linked to an exposé of the Biden administration paying corporate media to lie about the safety of the COVID vaccines and to censor any negative dissent. That includes so-called conservative media, i.e., Fox and Newsmax. Ms. Robinson concludes by describing her personal experience:
. . . Let me add some personal details to
the largest corporate media scandal of the year: I have been contacted by a
whistleblower inside Newsmax who has confirmed the broad details of this story.
That insider confirms: Newsmax executives agreed to take the money from Biden’s
Health and Human Services (HHS) to push only positive coverage of the new COVID
vaccines.
Let me add another personal detail:
I was contacted by top Newsmax executives and told to halt any negative
coverage of the vaccines in 2021. I was told that “it was problematic” for
Newsmax. I was given some version of this warning multiple times by multiple
executives. Obviously, I did not heed their advice.
Of course, almost everyone else
employed in the corporate media did keep their mouths shut. I discussed the outright
ban on negative vaccine coverage with other Newsmax producers and top anchors
at the time, and they were aware that they could not provide negative coverage
of the news vaccines without repercussions from the network. I was contacted by
PR experts who worked with Newsmax and was told that medical experts and
doctors who might say negative things about the new vaccines would not be
booked as guests at all.
In other words, the Biden
Administration’s money did not just pay for pro-vaccine advertising at outlets
like Fox and Newsmax: it paid for an outright ban on any negative coverage.
There’s a word for that kind of thing, and the word is: propaganda. Corporate
news executives with no medical training and no expertise began to make
ludicrous announcements that were basically blanket endorsements of the deadly
and untested vaccines. [Chris] Pandolfo describes this propaganda:
Other publications, such as
the Los Angeles Times, featured
advice from experts on how readers could convince vaccine-hesitant people in
their lives to change their minds. The Washington
Post covered "the pro-vaccine messages people want to
hear." Newsmax has reported how the vaccines have "been demonstrated
to be safe and effective" and "encouraged citizens, especially those
at risk, to get immunized."
HHS did not immediately respond
when asked if the agency used taxpayer dollars to pay for people to be
interviewed, or for a PR firm to place them in interviews with news outlets.
...
We have just lived through the most
extensive propaganda campaign in the history of the world and it was paid for
with taxpayer dollars. You paid for it. I paid for it. We will probably never
know how much money was spent because, according to a source familiar with the
FOIAs, the Biden Administration won’t release the amounts under their “trade
secrets” exemption.
I’ve been telling people for the
last two years that, when the truth comes out about the deadly COVID vaccines,
it will topple the American corporate media.
Now you know what I was talking
about.
Full report is here.
But the lying corporate media is still un-toppled.
