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.

Woodward and Bernstein

Where’s the Woodward and Bernstein of the Covid Scandals?

When you stop and think about it, there’s no way a “Woodward and Bernstein” could tell the story of the Covid Scandal. There’s simply too many scandals that would have to be exposed. It would take an army of Woodward and Berstein’s to break the pieces down into individual, sub-scandal components.

Fauci lied

Fauci Fibbed on the Day Everything Changed

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

The entire mess began not just with a bad prediction but an outrageously bad falsehood – spoken in front of deeply ignorant and terrified politicians – one that was followed by an egregious demand that we get rid of normal social and market functioning. The consequences are for the ages. Fauci had his own masters and minions but it is impossible to avoid the reality that he bears primary responsibility as the voice of panic that shut down freedoms hard won over a millennium.

Disinformation, Censorship, and Information Warfare in the 21st Century

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

It’s morally, legally, and intellectually repugnant that federal officials in the United States have constructed a vast apparatus for censoring legal speech, bypassing the First Amendment—without informing the public—on the pretext that the activities of foreign regimes which have been deliberately permitted on our online platforms have gotten so out of control.

Bottom line: the government conspired

The Government Conspired with Big Tech to Infringe on Free Speech

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

Bottom line: the government conspired to remove valid public health messages and social media posts by myself & others, because they disagreed with the viewpoint which contradicted the federal government’s COVID-19 public health message and views.

What the Media Gets Wrong about Hospitals

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

The common thread among all of this coverage is that they all focus on the system, rather than the human. There’s this concept called “capacity” that we all somehow need to know about, and we all need to make decisions because of it. The entire concept is backwards. It’s a fundamentally utilitarian mindset that stems from a fundamental misrepresentation of how systems work, and an inverted moral philosophy that prioritizes systems over people. Hospitals were built for humankind, not humankind for the hospital.

How the EU Killed Elon Musk’s Twitter “Amnesty”

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

Note that Breton’s tweet and the introductory post to his Mastodon thread both indeed call on Musk to “significantly reinforce content moderation,” thus making clear that the Commission not only disapproves of the prospect of banned accounts being restored, but also of the relatively more laissez-faire attitude that Musk has thus far adopted toward current users.

The Absurdity of Lockdowners Who Support China’s Anti-Lockdown Protests

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

Xi Jinping sees the concepts of democracy and human rights as mere propaganda that western elites use to further their own self-interest. So long as they approve of a policy, then it’s not a human rights violation, but if they oppose it, then it is.

New Emails Chronicle Lab-Leak Coverup in Real Time

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

The picture is increasingly coming into focus. The Chinese Government, Fauci & Co and many within the U.S. intelligence community and biodefence network are covering up the origin of the virus and frustrating efforts to investigate it because they are themselves implicated in the research that likely created it and because they do not want biodefence research discredited.

Twitter Won’t Be Free Until Covid Dissidents Are

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

What about the non-celebrity accounts with tens of thousands instead of hundreds of thousands of followers? What about ordinary people? And especially, what about the hundreds (at least) of Covid dissidents banned for nothing more than telling the truth about some aspect of governments’ atrocious mishandling of the Covid-19 pandemic before that truth became popular and widely known?

Doc Tracy and the Case of the California Medical Misinformation Bill

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

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.
