Media

Media articles deliver critical analysis and commentary on mass media, legacy media, entertainment, censorship, propaganda, and disinformation — exposing narrative control, institutional failures, and threats to open dialogue and truth.

We cover key issues like mainstream bias, information wars (e.g., on vaccines, antidepressants, autism), legacy outlet declines (NY Times, Washington Post), Orwellian parallels, pandemic-era propaganda, fraud industrial complex, intellectual courage in dissent, and the defense of free press, independent journalism, and human dignity against centralized narratives.

All articles from Brownstone Institute are translated into multiple languages to reach global audiences, foster international resistance to propaganda, and support open, evidence-based discourse worldwide.

On the other side of the fourth wall, the confrontation between Lawson and Doc Tracy, played by former UCLA anesthesiologist, Dr. Christopher Rake, took place on December 6, 2021. Two days later on December 8, Lawson took to Twitter to condemn Rake and the medical freedom organization that produced the show, America’s Frontline Doctors, then went on a media blitz the following week, making appearances on CNN and MSNBC to characterize the confrontation as an attempt to intimidate and terrorize.

Facebook’s aim is not to make their users safe. Their aim is to make them feel they are safe, to prevent them from discovering challenging information, prevent them from thinking. They are the apostles of a new god, and his followers do not ask him to deliver them from evil, they ask him to deliver them from truth.

Did anyone really believe on the eve of the sixth lockdown that it would last only as announced? Or did we all suspect another lie? This is a much harder lesson to take – it opens up uncomfortable lines of enquiry such as “what else did /do they lie about?”  From there it is a short step to demanding that there be accountability for the lies – and further, that every future announcement is challenged.

Family members try to open dialogue only to be shut down. The stories are told but, for the most part, they aren’t being heard.

Newspapers, television, internet sites and social media have become merely instruments of manipulation at the service of elite interests. We have seen Twitter, Google, LinkedIn, YouTube, Facebook, and other commercial information companies which started out a mere decade or two ago with promises of independence and open media, end up as our censors in the past two years, enthusiastically adding their contributions to the long and bleak history of totalitarian deletions.

Branding a video description or a tweet as “misinformation” because contains condensed and generalised information, with a more detailed discussion in what follows, has nothing to do with checking facts. It’s just about creating strawmen, especially when the “fact-checker” even distorts the quoted headline to make it fit her narrative.
