Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | John Sexton: The Media Is Executing the Tricks They Wargamed Out in Their "JournOList" ListServ With AbandonImportant reminder from Sexton: the JournOLists, who now occupy positions of authority in the media, and are also Agents of Infection for the herd, worked out these techniques in 2008, and are deploying them now. The JournOlisters went into a frenzy after the Jeremiah Wright story. The three strategies they proposed for disappearing the story were (as John Sexton categorizes them) "Kill it" by smearing mainstream media people writing about the story, "Ignore it" by simply refusing to report on it at all, and smearing anyone even talking about the story as "racists." Sexton points out that these tactics -- once considered controversial enough that even fellow JournOListers had qualms about them -- are now simply SOP for the DNC Media now:The Journolist discussion took place nearly a decade ago, but in retrospect, I’m struck by how these three basic approaches—kill it, ignore it, call them haters—seem like media archetypes now. You can probably think of your own examples but the ones that come immediately to mind are CBS News decision to sit on video showing President Obama had not called the Benghazi attack terrorism the day after the attack. You may recall that Obama was widely considered the loser of the 1st presidential debate with Mitt Romney. He needed a comeback win. And the winning moment of the 2nd debate was his exchange with Romney on Benghazi. Obama claimed he had called the attack terrorism the next day. But an excerpt from 60 Minutes which remained on the cutting room floor showed that wasn’t true. CBS News knew it had the clip which would cut the legs out from Obama after the 2nd debate and it sat on until a couple days before the election when it quietly posted it online.And on that, I hear very good things about Sheryl Attkinson's new book "The Smear," which recounts all the bias and #FakeNews of the past couple of years -- most of which you've probably forgotten about, as there's so much new #FakeNews every day.

The Journ-O-Listers may TRY these "tricks," but they have learned to their utter horror that the tricks no longer work on the unwashed public, but instead frustratingly only reach their Fellow Travelers on the Left. Exactly half the country are now impervious to media lies and Alinsky tactics; the Average American is much much more politically sophisticated than he was 9 years ago.

The only problem with these strategies is (like lard), they function best as a semi-secret ingredient to something, not as the main course.
What we're being treated to now is the equvalent of lard being served on larded bread with frozen lard on the side and screams of THIS ISN'T LARD and WHAT'S THE MATTER, DON'T YOU LIKE LARD?! at the same time. And they wonder why their credibility is shot. Posted by: Sporkatus at July 17, 2017 04:11 PM (eXSOZ) Posted by: rickb223 at July 17, 2017 04:11 PM (G0G8s) 17

I would tend to disagree. There is still a rather large percentage of the population that fit the "low information voter" description. If you doubt it, look at what get passed on as "accurate" and "newsworthy" on FB. If somebody wants to believe in Bat-boy, and elevators to the moon, and flying cars, then so be it. That doesn't mean they're informed at the ballot box. The MFM is exploiting the ignorance by presenting itself and it's biases as facts. Posted by: IP at July 17, 2017 04:18 PM (UmSfZ) 55

"Kill it" by smearing mainstream media people writing about the story,
++++ It's worse than that. The "kill" portion is intimidation. I mean, "smear" them and call them racists are really the same thing. What is necessary is to raise the cost on the right of going after the left. In other words, find a rightwinger's [sic] and smash it through a plate-glass window. Take a snapshot of the bleeding mess and send it out in a Christmas card to let the right know that it needs to live in a state of constant fear. Obviously I mean this rhetorically. That lays out two steps: get the people who get out of line, and then show those results to anyone thinking about getting out of line. Of course, the intimidate part can take place through both public and private channels. Posted by: Anon Y. Mous at July 17, 2017 04:19 PM (pvjTE) 59

Trump is a plurality President in a divided nation. Importantly he has strong support among his supporters and the opposition has dick.
MSM is the opposition party, and while it has driven up Trump's negatives in the short run, there's no sign that this will help the Ds in 2018. Because they have dick.

My prediction is that Fox is going to be rebranded as Sky News, and I doubt many of the old Fox crew will survive the changeover. Much of it will probably be produced and put out internationally rather than in country. Murdoch has a vision of an international news organization in all the world rather than ones in different nations.
Sky is kind of center-left, which in Europe makes it right wing. Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at July 17, 2017 04:30 PM (39g3+) 97

Regarding Sheryl Attkisson, The Daily Caller has an interview that Ginny Thomas did recently with Sheryl. It's about half an hour long and well worth the watch. At about 16 minutes in Attkisson describes being told about a document shredding event held in the basement of the State Department after the Benghazi debacle. Those documents are GONE. Attkisson fears that many, many damning documents have disappeared and wishes that Trump had done a complete housecleaning of Obama holdovers.

since 50% or so are "woke" to Fake News, what would it take to get Sheryl Attkinson and a few others to start a new PBS type real news station that could be broadcast over the air?
In my rural space I get maybe 20 over the air channels (about 4 are PBS), and some that don't have much to offer. FOX was an effort to capture some of that under-served conservative market, but they are "cable news" and fair and balanced has become Dems and never-Trumpers, and a few Trumpists. Over the air would service a lot of those rural Trump voters, while maybe "red-pilling" some LIV libs. Why should Pinko Broadcasting get so much space? It could also air over the internet, and offer platforms even to the blogger realm. Levin's CCTV could be given some space, and others. Reebok doesn't want conservatives to buy their shoes, so perhaps some of their competition would find a conservative listener market valuable.

While channel surfing last night I caught pieces on Megyn's show.
With a panel of five Silicon Valley women, Megyn put specific male Silicon Valley men on trial for sexual harassment in absentia. They may be guilty, but this is not how to do it. Subtext is that this wouldn't happen if there were more women CEOs in tech. Irony to this is that Megyn willingly either gave senior Fox guys a whiff (e.g., Roger Ailes) or wore her Gucci knee pads (e.g. Brit Hume) to climb the greasy pole. Megyn also gave a segment to Katy "Sundae Tits" Tur where she compounded speculation that the Trumps colluded. In doing so, she ignored what many of her own "witnesses" said. So, lots of estrogen, lots of man hate, lots of Trump hate. But the NBC properties don't need Megyn for this. Posted by: Ignoramus at July 17, 2017 04:46 PM (+7/1f) 157

It would matter if anyone believed them. But for the most part nobody does.
Dental surgery is more popular than the media. If people largely believe what you spout is lies- what's the impact? There comes a point at which people have had enough and the lies are uncovered. Obama started to lift the veil on what the Lefts real motives were because he figures his administration was the beginning of a thousand year reich. That ended with Queen Tipsy losing. Even the m Dina couldn't cover her fat ass. Ow the truth is more in the open and Trump drives that home every day. There is a common enemy for a majority of America. It's the media.

I'm not a doctor and I didn't stay at a Holiday Inn last night, but I did work for a Neurosurgeon at the Neurological Institute of New York many years ago. So everything that follows is the gospel truth that you can take to the bank because I've gleaned this knowledge from my many years of typing Operative Reports and Discharge Summaries, which is totally the same as med school.
My (incredibly educated) guess is that McCain went in for a check up because he was having some issues that were manifest for the world to see when he tried to question Gorsuch ('Memba that?--garbled and incoherent he was.) Upon testing, the hematoma was found and surgery ensued. Doctors don't order brain scans for any old reason. And unless you are having some symptoms, they don't go looking for blood clots or tumors in the brain without cause. Posted by: IrishEi at July 17, 2017 04:58 PM (HiDrR) 208

Fox News has never had a regular investigative reporting show like 60 Minutes started out, has it? That is strange. Seems to me FNC could build a show that would put the current version of 60 Minutes to shame. Hire Sheryl Atkisson, pull John Stossel out of limbo on Fox Business, and there must be three or four other good reporters to be had. Obviously a conscious decision by Ailes not to do this, for reasons we'll never know.

I think 99% of "aspergers" diagnoses are BS, just like autism, ADHD and all the other trendy crap helicopter parents embrace because little johnny won't obey them.
That doesn't mean that 1% don't exist or that there is no such thing, there are real people with real problems and real parents struggling to handle them. That's always been true. I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and I know what its like to suffer from something that makes people's eyes roll and mutter "lazy" under their breath. The only reason anyone believes in a headache is because they've had one, if it was rare, people would just claim people were being whiny and malcontents. Its just that these labels a damned convenient excuse for poor parenting, lack of discipline, and a refusal to accept a range of normal human behavior. That last one is particularly disturbing, because more and more modern psychiatry and medicine seems to be moving toward the idea that there's only one kind of personality and human body which is acceptable and we must use medicine, science, surgery, and government programs to "fix" everyone else that doesn't fit the plan. Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at July 17, 2017 05:05 PM (39g3+) 230
Don you always term the assumed arms transfers related to Libya illegal, but I'm not sure on what basis. If there were/is a "finding" approved by the congressional oversight committees to an intel op, it has a legal basis. Whether it conflicts with other legal restraints is a separate and possibly complex question - but that would have been hashed out during the process of accepting the finding. Thus any Libya-linked arms transfers might have been illegal, though that's unlikely, and they certainly aren't presumptively illegal based on what is publicly known.

That's just it, the CIA wasn't involved as far as I can tell. I think State was trying to run its own ops, like they were an intelligence department. I think they were moving beyond foreign policy and becoming involved in foreign operations. Hundreds of billions of dollars in their budget disappeared, and nobody knows where it is. When that happens with the military or intel, that means "black op, can't talk about it." But State isn't supposed to be running that kind of thing. Hillary had her own little nation she was running there and things went predictably wrong. Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at July 17, 2017 05:08 PM (39g3+) 240

NYTimes said yeah, 2" hematoma, can be well tolerated in frontal lobe. But he has had melanoma issues, and that can "migrate" (my word) into the brain and cause such "oozing". They are waiting on pathology to see if it is from any melanoma migration, which would be more serious. They didn't know what caused them to check for this ... mentioning his confusion in Comey testimony not long ago.

Not going to comment on any specifics of McCain's case, but in response to comments upthread about stroke vs. subdural hematoma:
A subdural hematoma is a hemorrhage inside the skull but outside the brain. Can be chronic (from slow leakage of blood vessels) or acute (more likely from a head injury). If the hemorrhage or clot is large enough, or changing in size, it can put pressure on the brain, causing symptoms, and can be life threatening. In the absence of ongoing hemorrhage, removing the clot or at least relieving the pressure can result in cure or at least improvement. A stroke is either a hemorrhage within the tissue of the brain from a ruptured artery, or a blockage of blood flow from a clot in one of the arteries to the brain, resulting in tissue death of that portion of the brain.

1%er. I have a rusty electric drill and some bits for cutting a hole in a wooden door. Equally rusty. Should penetrate McCain's thin skull pretty easily though.
That would work and you can just install a door knob to cover the hole. The fir would be perfect. Posted by: Cicero (@cicero) at July 17, 2017 05:15 PM (Mouru) 268

But how are you with drywall? Leaving the hole open dries out the brain and attracts bugs. After that it's Malpractice City.

There were UN Security Council resolutions embargoing Arms to both Syria, and Libya... ones we voted FOR. That an arms embargo was in place is public knowledge... and in fact we later lobbied the EU nations to try to rescind the embargo so we could openly arm rebels. The UN Treaty was Ratified by the Senate. Posted by: Don Quixote, who dreams the impossible dream at July 17, 2017 05:20 PM (NgKpN) 279

Nah, there is no plausible scenario under which Hillary (or any designated special leader of the racist authoritarian cult) would be "over" due to headlines.
In both senses. First, the media would never imagine mounting a s**t-storm frenzy of the sort that is used to damage or destroy policies or people (this is the essence of their control, which remains mostly intact and barely even challenged, even by the new administration - deciding what's news, what's big news, and what's OMG hysterical lynch-mob crazy news). Second, most Dem voters are either brain-dead NPR tribal types, or self-dealing (voting their own wallets, which are filled by tax dollars or from various coerced scams like "green" industries), or brain-dead low-info tribal and racist types. This is not a segment that bases its voting on anything to do with actual news, or intelligent policies. Posted by: rhomboid at July 17, 2017 05:21 PM (QDnY+) 281

"Nah, there is no plausible scenario under which Hillary (or any designated special leader of the racist authoritarian cult) would be "over" due to headlines."
I disagree, strongly. Hillary would have lost the squishy middle, and the Left would be knocked back on their heels by a Trump using his Mad Media Skillz. The most significant part of Fake News is what doesn't get covered, except with a pillow.

That's just it, the CIA wasn't involved as far as I can tell. I think State was trying to run its own ops, like they were an intelligence department. I think they were moving beyond foreign policy and becoming involved in foreign operations. Hundreds of billions of dollars in their budget disappeared, and nobody knows where it is. When that happens with the military or intel, that means "black op, can't talk about it." But State isn't supposed to be running that kind of thing.
Hillary had her own little nation she was running there and things went predictably wrong. Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at July 17, 2017 05:08 PM (39g3+) Nothing new, State Ops have been running at least since the 90's, probably 80's too. They have their own DSS group that includes some serious pipe hitters with a big budget and lots of government coverage. Like if you try to run the plates on a DSS car, they will find out who asked and where they are. Posted by: Mark Andrew Edwards at July 17, 2017 05:27 PM (3OIiX) 289
@278. That's why cutout countries like Qatar got used.
It's more than a rumor that some of the $6 billion that went missing form State under Hillary's watch was used to fund these arm purchases. Posted by: Ignoramus at July 17, 2017 05:27 PM (+7/1f) 290

Was the UN Resolution a Chapter 6 enforceable resolution? Don't think so. And was it a geographic embargo, not an embargo on the respective sitting regimes?
In any case, I don't think it's "illegal" to support a resolution and then violate its spirit or letter with policy. Might not be advisable - but then again it might be. Not a sense of "legal/illegal" that has any practical or moral traction, it would seem. Posted by: rhomboid at July 17, 2017 05:28 PM (QDnY+) 293

"The most significant part of Fake News is what doesn't get covered, except with a pillow."
My relatives are smart, but they're LIV compared to the crowd here. So when I raise things like Benghazi I look like a nut, because it's never in MSM not even Fox (it is in British papers, go figure). So more often than not I don't bring this stuff up. When I do, they roll their eyes. Posted by: Ignoramus at July 17, 2017 05:30 PM (+7/1f) 297

Nah, Ignoramus. First, I had a double assertion. There never would be/will be headlines (and more importantly, sustained media frenzy to cause real damage). Speculation, but I see no reason to disagree with it.
Second, your assessment of the squishy middle is a lot higher than mine. And if we're talking about the actual 2016 race, then there really is no reason to think so. Hillary's massive, historic, outlandish criminality at State did not end her, or make her non-viable as a candidate. Exactly for the two reasons I summarized: the press (in proportion to the story's importance) basically spiked it, and few Dem voters appeared to care. Posted by: rhomboid at July 17, 2017 05:33 PM (QDnY+) 303
McCain and Graham having exposure over Benghazi gun running to Baby ISIS would explain their behavior. It's been excessive if it was just over 2016 campaign insults by Trump.

Gref: "Hire Sheryl Atkisson, pull John Stossel out of limbo on Fox Business, and there must be three or four other good reporters to be had. Obviously a conscious decision by Ailes not to do this, for reasons we'll never know."
Ailes probably thought he was untouchable and FOXNews could provide news and entertainment. Alas, the Sons Murdoch squashed both those thoughts, and they don't envision Real News overshadowing the Fake News component of their current channel. But, yeah, a Pop News channel (FOXNews), a daily business channel (FBN), and a Real News channel (as yet unrealized) would ensconce FOX as THE news network. Won't happen, though. FCC won't be opening up more channels for the Murdoch empire, and the sons are too liberal to let conservatism have its own real, unique channel.

All you need to know about the media is summed up by the Twitter "reporter" who was bitching about Trump blocking her.
The block impeded her from operating as a "public intellectual". Anyone who refers to themselves as that is a pompous, clueless douchebag. Posted by: Farmer at July 17, 2017 05:40 PM (yJ1e6) Processing 0.04, elapsed 0.0464 seconds. |
