WHAT THE MEDIA BLACKOUT TELLS US ABOUT THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA
Donald Trump and his Campaign Team famously
developed the expression “Fake News” to comment on the left-liberal, blatant
bias of the US mainstream media.
In this country I think the mainstream media
are at least as biased as the US media.
For the last three years or more we have had
wall to wall and utterly shameless and blatant Remainer bias from the BBC and
all the other main broadcast channels on any topic relating to Brexit.
Charles Moore on last week’s Question Time
brilliantly exposed the BBC’s and Question Time’s bias against Leavers, whilst
the BBC’s Fiona Bruce desperately tried to shut him up!
The mainstream media’s bias however goes much
further than disproportionate coverage to include outright censorship of any
story which goes against their internationalist, left-liberal bias.
I think few stories illustrate this better
than the coverage of our case.
The English Democrats are bringing a High
Court case using the Judicial Review procedure to sue Theresa May and the
Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union (Case No. CO/1322/2019). We have a strong case that, according to law,
the United Kingdom left the European Union on the 29th March at the
expiry of our two year notice period which was given under Article 50 of the
Lisbon Treaty.
This case is therefore the only realistic
chance that we have of getting any real Brexit.
The media are falling over themselves to report displacement activity
that cannot make any difference. For
example, as I write this, they are falling over themselves to report about
Nigel Farage and his new Party. The safe
fact for the Remain supporting media is that however many MEPs Farage’s Party
wins it cannot make any difference whatsoever to whether we are in or out of
the EU or on what terms! Misdirecting
Leave support into that cul-de-sac is therefore useful for Remain.
I and numerous others whom I know of have
tried very hard to get the mainstream media to report about the case, but with
very little success.
This is of course also in stark contrast to
the massive and persistent reporting of the much less important constitutional
case brought by Gina Miller to require the Government to get an Act of
Parliament to permit it to serve the Article 50 Notice. That case, as I am sure anybody who listened
to any of the “news” output of the mainstream media, received literally massive
coverage because the Remainers in the media thought that it might derail
Brexit.
By contrast our case which may actually get a
Declaration that we are already Out of the European Union has only had the Mail
On-line do two items about it, both of which were top trending political news
stories on-line.
I have been informed that those in charge of
the Mail On-line were told by the Daily Mail’s new editor (who is a Remainer)
that they were to let the story drop.
The Express On-line also began to cover the
story, but again I understand they were told to drop the story by their new
owners from the Mirror Group.
Apart from those two media outlets there has
been, so far as I am aware, no other coverage at all.
Given the significance of this case I think we
can draw some important conclusions from this treatment.
The first is that despite the claims of the
mainstream media to report “News”, this claim is quite simply ‘fake news’. The so-called “News” which they report is
subordinate to their propaganda objective of furthering their internationalist,
left-liberal bias.
So, any of us that take our understanding of
what is going on in the world from the mainstream media is therefore running a
big risk that their awareness of news will be so tainted by this propaganda
objective that their understanding may well be led into fundamental errors
about what is going on.
This of course has important implications for
political policy and decision making because our politicians seem to take much
of their agenda from what appears in the mainstream media. No wonder they make such a mess of almost
every decision that they are involved in!
Also no wonder so many people are misled into
supporting displacement activity!
Another important point to consider is the
effectiveness of social media. Despite
not receiving any proper coverage by the mainstream media, we have still been
able raise over £80,000 toward the case.
That does enable us to carry on with the case with some confidence. However against that we have to set what
happened with the Gina Miller case where the fake news mainstream media furore
led to the funding of a case which cost over £1.2 million! Social Media therefore is helpful but does
not fully compensate us for being completely cut out of the mainstream media
reporting.
Last but not least, it also does need to be
noted that the Remainer cartel politicians like Yvette Cooper and Tom Watson
have been campaigning for social media access to be cut-off for all those who
oppose the current British Political Establishment cartel.
Our window of potential opportunity on social
media is therefore already being closed off, as the recent treatment of Tommy
Robinson so vividly demonstrates!
This of course means that it is urgent to find
ways to break through politically before the window of opportunity finally closes
on us!
