Great article! This is the most dangerous trend in America (in a sea of dangerous trends). Personally I think the 'modernization' of Smith-Mundt was the catalyst, but perhaps it's been going on longer than that. But eventually we'll all realize what I've been saying for years now:
Journalism is an ACTION, not a profession.
The real journalists are here on Substack after being banished by the paid-off propaganda peddlers.
This is about controlling information. It’s little more than a thinly veiled attempt to pass off ideology as inflexible Holy Writ by stamping it with the imprimatur of propped up propagandists posing as “anti-disinformation” authorities who just so happen to be part of that monstrous messianic machine, the modern federal government.
Among the things people were censored for during the pandemic that proved to be 100% true: Schools should stay open, lockdowns have terrible consequences, mask mandates don't work, ivermectin isn't dangerous, the CDC manipulates data, seasonality is real, the vaccines cause heart issues, masking kids causes developmental problems.
And now those people are taking the line of "Just because you ended up being correct doesn't mean you were right" -- even though all of the data has agreed with us this entire time. They just couldn't be bothered to actually go see the data, so they listened to the journalist who only still had a show because Pharma was buying 75% of ads. What are the odds that guy is allowed to speak a bad word about the jabs? Roughly 0.
If our President and his family can sell our oil reserves to China and make millions on numerous scams over decades, as well as the criminal inside stock trading and open bribery by our Congress, and we as a Nation allow this open in your face criminal activity to be carried out......what do we expect? We as a Nation are at fault. If our Congressmen are honest men coming into office, our presemt system of government makes sure most are crooks before they leave office.
Journalist are taught in college that it is a profession of activism. This leads to goofy things like opposition to "the dangerous Trump vaccine" only to find that was a loser position and then pivot to touting the vax as a holy sacrament of wokeness. Never mind they had it right in the beginning, just memory hole it and keep promoting that vax till it literally kills them.
There was a time not too long ago when journalism was seen as a noble profession that looked out for the little guy and only ever had one bias, which was against power. Now it's all vice versa and journalists are basically vassals of the powerful.
I did love how all the 'racist historical statues must go' people never ever once said anything about the president who literally locked people into camps for being (or looking!) Japanese.
I'm sure you are correct that many journalists perform as activists. That, in itself, disqualifies it from being a profession. In my opinion, it has never been a profession, in the way that true professions practice their craft. Physicians, dentists, optometrists, lawyers (hard to believe), CPAs and a number of medically-related fields are true professions - they will have an oath that their actions will always be for the benefit of their patient/client. These are all advanced degrees. Who is the client of the journalist? It should honest and unbiased reporting to the public. irrespective of their own opinions.
Language is so important. If someone could spearhead a broad effort to stop referring to government controlled & compromised media outlets & employees as “journalists” and instead use the more accurate term” propagandist”, we can establish a beachhead on this issue. One can imagine a handy app that rates & identifies all media company companies & individuals based on their actual work product.
I love the voiceover! What a fantastic option so I can listen (read) while getting household duties done - my goodness are you writing and then recording what you wrote? I hope you find some rest now that you're back home, thank you for being ever-faithfully persevering in educating us.
I am in awe of Whitney Webb. Her breadth of knowledge and understanding of complicated events is top shelf stuff. I have both volumes of her book and expect to dive in very soon. She has a great podcast Unlimited Hangout, if you have not yet checked it out please do! Warning: you will never see the world in the same way again. And yet, thank you Whitney for all your hard work! I'm handing out a Pulitzer this year and it goes to you.
Same day CDC approved the clot shot for children's vax schedule, The LA Times treated us with an activist article blaming everyone and everything for the pandemic persistence: "Don't get cocky, COVID is poised to roar back" by Dipty S. Barot, LA Times, October 20th 2022
A long rant of an article pointing fingers at unboosted, unvaccinated and unmasked folks, even at Joe Biden lol. Shockingly, not a single word about vaccines that don't work, even when the aurhor is supposed to be a family care physician.
Halfway down the reading things started to make sense, when the "woke ideology" came up in full force holding the unbearable article together. It turns out the author and her parents are inmunocompromised, and since some victims (them) have more rights than other victims (the thousands and thousands of vaccine injured or killed) the WHOLE PLANET has to get the clot shot, repetitively. Just unbelievable hubris and callousness.
Love the "voiceover" Dr. Malone! Thank you so much. Glad you found Whitney Webb, she has been amazing these last 6 years. We need more like her. She is an amazing researcher and writer.
The first thing that came out of my husbands mouth while listening to this substack was “ They don’t censor pornography for its destructiveness. “ My husband is a criminal defense attorney and a majority of his case loads was sexual assaults , child porn, child molesters and more. 100% of his sex offender clients were addicted to pornography. They don’t censor this garbage which is a destruction of families. Yet obviously they have the capability to censor it if they can censor free speech.
It is our constitutional right as a US citizen the right to free speech.
Thank you Dr Malone and Dr Jill for speaking out for our rights as citizens of the USA.

Funny, a million years ago when I was learning the ropes, I was told that journalism was a profession of holding powerful people accountable.
How the times have changed.
There was a time not too long ago when journalism was seen as a noble profession that looked out for the little guy and only ever had one bias, which was against power. Now it's all vice versa and journalists are basically vassals of the powerful.
Not ALL powerful people. Still waiting for that to happen to Wilson, FDR, LBJ.........

I'm a fan of presstitute, myself.
Mockery seems like an effective way to come at it.
Matt Orfalea has done a few videos for Greenwald and Taibbi that are like wrecking balls on corporate media credibility, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSZyKYitC3M
Whitney Webb is the best. Read her new book on Epstein!
What an honor it was to hear Whitney speak live on Monday in Knoxville. Such a brilliant young woman.
Thank you Robert and Jill for sharing this important topic with your subscribers.
Hi Dr. Ma-Lion: Whitney Webb! I'm totally fan-girling! You, Whitney, Robert Kennedy and Corbett Report are awesome journalists!
Whitney's book just arrived on my doorstep. Great timing!
