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.

In fact, the great intellectual thought emerging from our times is coming from those opposing vaccine mandates and Covid fearmongering. These names run across the political spectrum, but those from the left are universally categorized by liberals as being “alt-right” or “fringe libertarian,” ensuring that they remain marginalized and carry whatever stigma goes along with being relegated to the internet.

“When you compare the destructive policies you are pursuing with the sane policies of some other countries — you can clearly see that the destruction you have caused has only added victims beyond the vulnerable to the virus. The economy you ruined, the unemployed you caused, and the children whose education you destroyed — they are the surplus victims as a result of your own actions only.”

These seemingly scientific slogans – flatten the curve, slow the spread, socially distance, track-and-trace – mask deeply dangerous policy ideas that can ruin life for everyone, and utterly destroy health and human liberty itself. The film is right: pandemic controls are an existential threat.

Reading the New York Times has always required a decoder ring. What this editorial tells me is that the ruling class that did this to this country and the world knows that it is on the losing side of history. They are scrambling fast to dial it back while preserving what they can of their dignity and credibility, both of which are mostly shot.

The first step should be to correct errors, a minimal obligation of all ethical journalism. A second step requires more balanced reporting about the pandemic by, for example, honestly reporting about the success of the pandemic strategies employed by Florida and the Scandinavian countries. The alternative is a continuing erosion of trust in medicine and public health.

If these rules are strenuously enforced, millions of videos, interviews, television shows, lectures, press conferences, and scientific presentations will disappear. Maybe tens of millions actually.
