    Fred alluded to it. People will choose order or false peace no matter how tyrannical rather than chaos. That is why nothing is ever prosecuted. People want to sweep under the rug and go back to a normal that disappeared decades ago.

A big problem I'm seeing is how many people find this uninteresting, or some partisan nothing burger.

    Like how the liberals (not the left) adored Julian Assange, until info led him to set his sights on Queen Bee Hillary Clinton, that's when he earned himself the next "Putin Puppet" title.

    The liberals turned their backs on him, the right duly embraced him according to the politics of the day. Something about that rings familiar here.

    Aaron Maté and Max Blumenthal at The Grayzone come with my highest recommendation.

    Just like any other craft, a journalist's work speaks for itself. Claims against the quality of product require backing, lest their own credibility start coming into question.

    Whom does the backing, does it depend upon who's or what narrative your following ( unless your meaning intuition ? ) or other journalists ?.

    Evidence based reporting does the backing. Actually going out there and investigating things is backing. A reputable track record is backing. Those are some of the qualities one needs to be considered a legitimate journalist (as opposed to a repeater), same requirements for anyone seeking to discredit them.

    Another thing and this is important: narratives are for the story tellers, the spellcasters. A journalist just shows what's going on out there.

    I like details too.

    Too much noise by excited people for me to participate in.

    I helped end a war and the draft and reaped the benefits of my activism. So did millions of others.

    Time for some others to get in on all the fun.

    I like my outrage personal.

    I've told you a dozen times before that the far-right will always resort to lies, libel and slander to win their case. And Musk has unfortunately aligned himself with the far-right. He has even already more or less admitted to that in public.
    FFS sake dont bring your Trump into it please Aragorn,
    "My" Trump? You're the one who's been championing him and making apologies for him on this forum for six years already, and you still can't let go.

    Anyway, I'm out of this thread. The biases are getting a little thick in here. Besides, I'm really not interested in conspiracy theories.

    Blessings Aragorn, your Trump is very different to my Trump hence me calling you out on your Trump and bringing your Trump to work for yourself in context of your post, Trump was not in the mix but you felt you needed him ?.

    You're missing the point again, Vern. I did not bring up Trump so as to talk about him — if anything, I think way too much time has been wasted on Orange Jesus™ already — but because the point I was trying to highlight was that allegations were made without providing any evidence. Trump did that when he said the elections were stolen from him, and Musk is doing it as well now by claiming that there was government interference in how Twitter was moderated under Jack Dorsey's ownership of the company.

    That was my point. Making allegations of foul play is easy, but somehow the presentation of any evidence of such always seems to be too much to ask for, and especially so from the far-right. As the matter of fact, they don't even seem to require any evidence at all before condemning anyone — it buys them enough time to fabricate the "evidence" later, as for instance in the case of the "2'000 Mules" fakumentary.

    George W. Bush didn't require any evidence of the alleged weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. He even cut off UN investigator Hans Blix by invading Iraq before Blix could present his report to the UN — a report which stated that no evidence was found of there being any weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

    So in the end, what it boils down to is that the far-right regards evidence as an undesirable obstruction in the realization of their agenda, and that it's a lot easier to beat your opponents by just making up allegations and then acting upon those allegations of your own creation as if they have already been proven true. George W. Bush and Tony Blair did it, QAnon did it, Donald Trump did (and is still doing) it, and now Elon Musk is doing it too.

    Anyway, like I said, I'm out of this thread. I'm only replying because I am either being quoted or being addressed.
