Hey, |
Ari here. |
Jeff Bezos is trying to "fix" The Washington Post. In a recent announcement, the Post's opinion section will now only publish pieces favoring "personal liberties and free markets." |
But he doesn't get it. |
He thinks the problem is the opinion section—as if tweaking a few editorials will somehow minimize the paper's extreme bias. |
But that was never the main problem. |
For the past decade, under Bezos's ownership, The Washington Post has still does: |
Pushed mass internet censorship—cheering on Big Tech's suppression of conservatives. Advocated for sex changes for minors—treating any opposition as hateful bigotry. Promoted DEI mandates and vaccine enforcement—demanding government control over workplaces and personal decisions. Helped spread the Russiagate hoax—a coordinated effort to sabotage Trump's first term. Smeared half the country—labeling conservatives as extremists just for voting a certain way.
|
|
And this wasn't just the opinion section—it was all done through the newsroom. |
The Playbook: How Newsrooms Rig the Narrative |
The mainstream press doesn't just report news. Newsrooms shape it. They push narratives, bury inconvenient facts, and manufacture public opinion under the guise of "objective journalism." |
Here's how it works: |
Deciding what gets covered (and what doesn't). Newsrooms set the agenda by highlighting certain stories while ignoring others entirely. If it doesn't fit their worldview, they downplay it—or erase it altogether. Controlling the language. They decide what words are "acceptable." Illegal aliens become "dreamers." Biological sex becomes "gender assigned at birth." Terrorists become "militants." Manipulating "experts" and sourcing. They selectively quote sources who reinforce the narrative they want to push, while dismissing or ignoring those who contradict it. Framing everything through ideology. Even when covering the same facts, they use slanted angles to push their preferred conclusions.
|
This is why simply "adjusting the opinion section" doesn't solve anything. The real problem is the newsroom itself—where activists in press badges control the stories Americans are allowed to see. |
Bezos Is Playing the Wrong Game |
Now, Bezos is trying to "rebalance" The Washington Post by shifting its editorial board. |
But as long as his newsroom is still packed with ideological operatives instead of real reporters, nothing will change. The real power isn't in the opinion section—it's in the so-called 'news.' |
Look At The Associated Press and The New York Times |
The Associated Press proves just how powerful a newsroom can be. It doesn't even have an opinion section—yet it dictates the narratives that shape the news you see every day. |
Its left-wing style guides are followed by thousands of outlets across the country, controlling how they report on everything from immigration to gender ideology. If the AP decides a term is "off-limits," it disappears. If they push a certain narrative, it spreads like wildfire. |
Then there's The New York Times. It pretends to offer balance by keeping an opinion section. But that's just for show. The real power is in its newsroom—the same newsroom that ruthlessly enforces its ideological agenda. |
During the George Floyd riots, some editors tried to bring in conservative voices to offer another perspective. The response? A newsroom mutiny. Reporters revolted, editors were forced out, and the message was clear: Dissent is not allowed. |
You're Only Getting Half the Story |
We expose the playbook—the tricks, the manipulation, the narratives they want you to believe. |
We do this seven days a week. |
Right now, you're on the preview plan—so you're only getting three days of our coverage. That means you're missing out on some of our best work—from geopolitics to Trump's shakeup of D.C. |
You're also missing out on The Daily Brief's premium features—where we expose the media hoaxes driving the news cycle and break down how every side spins the same story. |
Thousands of others have already stepped up. Almost all of them stay. Because they see the difference. They feel the impact. And they know what's at stake. |
If you don't have time — that's exactly why you need this. You're already consuming news—headlines, tweets, clips—but most of it is noise. We cut through that in minutes, delivering only what matters so you stay informed without the time sink. |
It's almost the end of February, and we're still behind on this month's goal to stay sustainable. |
We've built something honest here, but we can't keep doing this without you. |
We need your support to continue. Become a paid member today. |
You can start with a free trial, and nearly everyone who does stays because they don't find this level of coverage anywhere else. |
|
Grateful to have you here, |
Ari |
