Margaret read the following .

The 11 principles of Nazi propaganda created by Goebbels:

1.- Principle of simplification and the single enemy. Adopt a single idea, a single Symbol; Individualize the adversary into a single enemy.

2.- Principle of the contagion method. Gather diverse adversaries into a single category or individual; The adversaries must be made up of an individual sum.

3.- Principle of transposition. Load on the opponent his own errors or defects, responding the attack with the attack. "If you can't deny the bad news, invent others that distract them."

4.- Principle of exaggeration and disfigurement. Turn any anecdote, however small, into a serious threat.

5.- Principle of popularization. “All propaganda must be popular, adapting its level to the least intelligent of the individuals to whom it is directed. The larger the mass to convince, the smaller the mental effort must be made. The receptive capacity of the masses is limited and their understanding poor; in addition, they have great facility to forget ”.

6.- Orchestration principle. "Propaganda must be limited to a small number of ideas and repeated tirelessly, presented over and over from different perspectives but always converging on the same concept. Without fissures or doubts ”. This is also where the famous phrase comes from: "If a lie is repeated enough, it eventually becomes true."

7.- Principle of renewal. New information and arguments must be constantly broadcast at such a rate that when the opponent responds the public is already interested in something else. The adversary's responses must never be able to counter the increasing level of accusations.

8.- Principle of plausibility. Construct arguments from various sources, through so-called balloon probes or fragmentary information.

9.- Principle of silencing. Silencing on issues on which there are no arguments and disguising the news that favors the adversary, also counterprogramming with the help of related media.

10.- Principle of transfusion. As a general rule, propaganda always operates from a pre-existing substrate, be it a national mythology or a complex of traditional hatreds and prejudices; it is about spreading arguments that can take root in primitive attitudes.

11.- Principle of unanimity. To convince many people that they think "like everyone else", creating the impression of unanimity.

The media’s misinformation machine is built to last — here’s why | Blaze Media

Despite cries for balance, the corporate left-wing media is unlikely to change, and conservatives can expect even more outrageous reporting after the Democrats’ rout at the ballot box.

www.theblaze.com

It’s all activism now​

Outlets like Maddow’s MSNBC essentially sell a “consumer product” to people, Taibbi notes. They offer viewers a “political safe space” that aligns with a specific political party. Media studies professor Andrey Mir explores this in his 2020 book “Postjournalism and the Death of Newspapers,” where he details how the media’s business model has changed in the post-internet era, altering how news is selected and reported.

Previously, leftist media analysts like Noam Chomsky argued that the establishment press skewed coverage to placate the wealthy elite (advertisers’ most coveted demographic). Now, the press skews coverage to cater to its activist readership. With advertisers moving to more efficient technologies like Facebook and Google — which control 80% of the advertising market — newspapers have turned to what Mir calls paid-up “members” and donors for revenue. These people, like everyone else, can read the news online for free but choose to give their money to outlets because they like what they say.

Treating such outlets as advocacy groups, Mir explains, means that only the largest publications — such as the New York Times and the Washington Post, the ones most capable of spreading the message — will attract support. What these “advocacy group members” are paying for, then, is not just to stay informed, but to push the outlet’s message and shape public opinion in the way they want it to be.

Previously beholden to corporate advertisers (again, Chomsky’s view), the legacy press is now dependent on the activists who fund it. As a result, daily story selection is driven by “the most resonating pressing social issues that could justify fundraising and stimulate readers to donate.” This process incentivizes journalism to “mutate into propaganda.” There is no fairness, balance, or impartiality — only straight advocacy for a hard-left agenda.

AP's Top 9 Style Guide Decisions That Enforce Far-Left Speech Codes

The Associated Press has come under fire for maintaining a style guide that enforces far-left speech codes on political debates.

www.breitbart.com

ONE: Warns against “all views” in transgender coverage: The guide says to “avoid false balance [by] giving a platform to unqualified claims or sources in the guise of balancing a story by including all views.”

“Do not use the term ‘transgenderism,’ which frames transgender identity as an ideology,” the guide demands.

TWO: Demands the use of “gender-affirming care”: The guide says to use the term to describe puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and gender-reassignment surgeries.

THREE: Opposes describing people by their biological sex: “Use the term sex assigned at birth instead of biological sex, birth gender, was identified at birth as, born a girl and the like,” the style guide states. “Avoid references to a transgender person being born a boy or girl, or phrasing like birth gender. Sex assigned at birth is the accurate terminology.”

“Since not all people fall under one of two categories for sex or gender — as in the cases of nonbinary and intersex people — avoid references to both, either or opposite sexes or genders,” according to the guide.

FOUR: Characterizes black people as “Black” people: “[W]hite people’s skin color plays into systemic inequalities and injustices, and we want our journalism to robustly explore those problems. But capitalizing the term white, as is done by white supremacists, risks subtly conveying legitimacy to such beliefs.”

FIVE: Reducing the use of the word “riot”: According to the style guide, “Focusing on rioting and property destruction rather than underlying grievance has been used in the past to stigmatize broad swaths of people protesting against lynching or police brutality or for racial justice, going back at least to the urban uprisings of the 1960s in the U.S.”

SIX: Downplaying the word “Hispanic”: “Hispanic refers to a person from — or whose ancestors were from — a Spanish-speaking land or culture. Latino, Latina, or Latinx are sometimes preferred. Follow the person’s preference. Use a more specific identification when possible, such as Cuban, Puerto Rican, or Mexican American.”

SEVEN: Disfavors use of “illegal immigrant”: The AP says, “Use illegal only to refer to an action, not a person: illegal immigration, but not illegal immigrant.” Acceptable “variations include living in or entering a country illegally or without legal permission. For people: immigrants lacking permanent legal status.”

EIGHT: Cancels the term “anchor babies”: The guide claims it is “a pejorative term in the U.S. for children who are born to noncitizen parents wanting to take advantage of birthright citizenship.”

NINE: Disfavors the phrases “catch and release” and “chain migration”: The guide says, “Chain migration” is “vague and may imply unfettered immigration,” while “catch and release” is a “misleading and dehumanizing term.”

The 11 principles of Nazi propaganda created by Goebbels:

1.- Principle of simplification and the single enemy. Adopt a single idea, a single Symbol; Individualize the adversary into a single enemy.

2.- Principle of the contagion method. Gather diverse adversaries into a single category or individual; The adversaries must be made up of an individual sum.

Nolte: Disgraced ’60 Minutes’ Misleads Viewers on USAID Staff Reductions

Sunday’s episode of the disgraced 60 Minutes worked overtime to mislead its gullible viewers about the recent layoffs at USAID.

www.breitbart.com

Future Massengill Spokesperson Scott Pelley

"Except.

Poor Kristina Drye and poor Adam Dubard are not USAID employees.

Granted, 60 Minutes doesn’t identify them as USAID employees, but there is no question the interview is rigged to make it sound as if they were. And nowhere in that clip or in the CBS News write-up are we told who they really are."

Stephen Miller to CNN’s Keilar: 'Why Are You Not Celebrating the Cuts?'

Tuesday on CNN's "News Central," Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller asked host Brianna Keilar why she was not "celebrating the cuts" made to the federal government by the Trump administration. | Clips

www.breitbart.com

Tuesday on CNN’s “News Central,” Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller asked host Brianna Keilar why she was not “celebrating the cuts” made to the federal government by the Trump administration.

Miller said, “The U.S. government has $36 trillion in debt. The interest payments on the debt exceed the national defense budget. The American people are exhausted and tired of watching their tax dollars be corruptly spent, abused, wasted and, in every sense robbed and stolen from them. This president, for the first time in history, is committed to restoring accountability at every level of the federal government. You may assert there’s no waste in the Pentagon. You may assert there’s no waste in Treasury.”

Keilar said, “Oh, Stephen, I’m not asserting — I don’t think anyone would assert that, Stephen.”

Miller said, “Then why are you not celebrating these cuts? If you agree there is waste, if you agree there is abuse, if you agree there is corruption, why are you not celebrating the cuts, the reforms that are being instituted!? Every day that no action is taken the entire salaries of American workers that are taxed disappear forever.”

Keilar said, “Stephen, let’s calm down.”

Miller said, “Well, you are clearly trying to debate me, and I will be as excited as I want to be about the fact that we are saving Americans billions of dollars, that we are ending the theft and waste and grift and corruption, that we are stopping American taxpayer dollars from subsidizing a rogue federal bureaucracy that has been relentlessly weaponized against the American people. You may not care about this issue. Your colleagues may not care about this issue.”

Wrong side of history sister.

MSNBC has canceled Joy Reid's evening show amid the network's plummeting ratings, according to a report.

Her final episode of The ReidOut is set for sometime this week, sources told The New York Times.


The 7 p.m. ET time slot will be replaced by a panel show co-hosted by Symone Sanders Townsend, Alicia Menendez and Michael Steele.

The shakeup comes from newly tapped MSNBC president Rebecca Kutler, who is looking to save the network from dismal ratings, according to Variety.

Amid a looming landscape of languishing cable and legacy news stations, MSNBC had their lowest-rated Januarys in history in the highly sought 25-54 demographic.

The statistic holds importance to advertisers due to the group's spending power and the fact that it pertains to both daytime and primetime.

MSNBC lagged to just 45,000 viewers during the day and just 63,000 during the peak hours of night - with the Maddow experiment seemingly failing.

Joy Reid's MSNBC show is CANCELED as ratings plummet

Man you guys are fast. They are rumored to replace one dumpster fire with another dumpster fire cast. The issue is deeper than Reid, and one the network has fostered which is a business model loser with unprofessional clowns.

Joy Reid's MSNBC show is CANCELED as ratings plummet​

Amid a looming landscape of languishing cable and legacy news stations, MSNBC had their lowest-rated Januarys in history in the highly sought 25-54 demographic.

During the hours of 8-11 p.m. ET, MSNBC barely managed an audience of 734,000, with CNN securing just 522,000.


Talking heads ranging from Jake Tapper to Joy Reid failed to stop the bleeding - as did a move from MSNBC that brought back Rachel Maddow to TV sets five times a week, at least for the first 100 days of the new administration.

MSNBC lagged to just 45,000 viewers during the day and just 63,000 during the peak hours of night - with the Maddow experiment seemingly failing.

In terms of percentages, though, the figures were even more alarming; MSNBC essentially lost nearly half of its 25-54 audience since this time last year, continuing a 65 percent slide seen since the election.

In primetime, the network's numbers are down 41 percent from 2024. When it came to programming delivered during the day, the percentage dip was the same.
