Surprise! The Associated Press is Taking Money From Deep-Pocketed Leftwing Organizations to Write Stories That Those Deep-Pocketed Leftwing Organizations Want to See Printed to Advance Their Propaganda OperationsA long time ago, Lee Smith wrote about what I think he termed "the Arabization of the American Press." The Arab press, he wrote, was not really a free press, and certainly not an independent one. The Arab press is understood to be one in which propaganda is the main stock in trade, and facts, or alleged facts, are just incorporated into propaganda pieces to give age-old narratives a topical feel. Arab media outlets and Arab reporters are almost always working for a power faction, and not just based on ideological grounds, but for actual cash-money payment. There are very few stories that run in the Arab press that do not advance a faction's preferred propaganda narrative, and many stories are commissioned by a patron who wants to push out a certain narrative. When it was revealed that the political dirty tricks operatives at Fusion GPS were paying "real reporters" to "research" stories Fusion GPS' political patrons (which included foreign oligarchs like Oleg Deripaska), Lee Smith concluded that the American press was now becoming the Arab press. By the way, the media itself has shown zero curiosity about which reporters have a For Sale sign on them and are similarly writing up "research" for billionaires and political groups. For an industry that demands maximum disclosure for everyone else, they sure seem to want to keep their secrets about who's paying them off for hit-piece "research." There was not a peep of media consternation about the exposure that some of their alleged fellow Incorruptible High Priests of the Truth were taking money from foreign oligarchs to do "research." Which, by the way, almost certainly then became planted stories appearing in the media. A foreign oligarch is probably savvy enough to avoid saying "I am paying you to plant this story." He knows that a few members of the Incorruptible High Priesthood of the Truth would understand that as a gross violation that could get them blackballed. But if he says "I'll pay you $50,000 to do 'research' on Trump's empire for me, and then you own that research to do whatever you want to with it," well, the "researcher" can then write it up as a "news" article and get it published. He can say "no one demanded i publish it" -- yes, but they did pay you $50,000 to do a month's worth of work, which is now all conveniently sitting in your hard-drive, and can be sold again, this time to a leftwing media publisher. And why wouldn't you sell it that second time? You probably don't have much else to sell to newspapers and magazines because you just spent a month doing "research" for Oleg Deripaska; the "research" you did for him is almost all you have to sell to the media this month. So by this method of paying someone to basically write a hit-piece against a political opponent but then saying "I'm not telling you you now have to plant this story, but I'm telling you I give you permission to plant it, if you like," billionaires, Democrat front-groups, and foreign gangsters can pay the media to run stories that they have in fact commissioned. And now we find out that the AP has been running story after story commissioned by deep-pocketed leftwing foundations. Associated Press Coverage of Courts, Climate Bankrolled by Dozens of Left-Wing Foundations "Lucrative sponsorship agreements," eh? Chuck Ross:
The press isn't merely corrupt -- it's cash-money-in-an-envelope corrupt. By the way, one Lee Smith story on the cash-money corruption of the press is here. Weird that Jake Tapper has run zero stories on this scandal, huh? The media demands that everyone else disclose every possible conflict-of-interest and outside payment. But when it comes to their own Secret Payoffs, they have a different attitude entirely: | Recent Comments
