The Media Knows

Never talk to the media. Observe that the media executives themselves never respond to inquiries from other media organizations. Notice that ESPN is resolutely refusing to respond to questions from Outkick and Fox News about a misleading edit of a clip it broadcast recently.

OutKick emailed ESPN Vice President of Communications Josh Krulewitz the following questions Thursday:

Josh,

I would like to send an inquiry about the ESPYs taking a video of Will Cain out of context to make him look bad.

Does ESPN stand by its decision to edit the video?

Who approved the clip?

What level of management approved the idea to edit the clip that way?

Does ESPN feel it should issue a statement correcting the record?

Krulewitz and ESPN did not respond. Nor did they respond to a Fox News inquiry.

If the media knows it’s foolish to talk to the media, then that’s all you really need to know. Keep your ego in check, don’t seek the attention they offer, don’t permit them to claim they talked to you, and thereby avoid giving them the evidence they require to make their usual strawmen.

The Ink Wall Crumbles

Once more, we learn that /pol/ is always right. The “BBC Presenter” is confirmed to be Huw Edwards, the presenter of BBC News at Ten.

Huw Edwards’ wife Vicky Flind names him as BBC star at centre of ‘£35k sex pics scandal’: Statement issued on presenter’s behalf claims he is in hospital suffering from ‘serious mental health issues’ – as Met Police say ‘no offence has been committed’

It’s just so obnoxious to see how the media doesn’t hesitate to go out of their way to identify people of whom they don’t approve, while fighting like rabid dogs to hide the identities of celebrities and their fellow media figures whenever they are accused of wrongdoing of some kind.

Stars rally round Huw Edwards as John Simpson and ex-BBC stars Dan Walker and Jon Sopel share support for their former colleague.

The Name of the Accused

It’s fascinating to see how the mainstream media is more than willing to identify common people accused of crimes or even badthought – even going to the trouble of spelling out their real names in the event of their stage name being better known – while at the same time staunchly refusing to identify celebrities, sports figures, and media personalities who are accused of much more serious crimes.

/pol/ reports the “BBC Presenter” is Huy Edwards. And /pol/, of course, is always right.

They Do Love Their Pedos

It’s fascinating to observe the juxtaposition between the way the media immediately jettisons anyone suspected of possessing Christian beliefs with the way it circles the wagons and aggressively protects accused sexual predators like Jimmy Saville, Cyril Smith, Arthur C. Clarke, Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, Philip Schofield, and the current “BBC Presenter” it refuses to name.

And given what we’ve already heard in the last year concerning a) abortion and b) transgenderism, I’d estimate it will be about 18 months before we are reliably informed that “pedophilia is a Jewish value”.

UPDATE: The BBC is investigating “sensitively”. Which is to say, its executives are desperately attempting not to see or hear anything. Notice that it took nearly two months and a public outcry before the BBC executives even began looking into the allegations.

  • May 19: Alleged victim’s family complained to the BBC, asking for the presenter to be told to stop sending their child money.
  • June X: The accused host allegedly attended a party alongside BBC senior executives.
  • July 7: The BBC star was said to have been taken off air – but has not been suspended.
  • July 8: It is revealed the presenter could face a police probe over potential crimes which carry a maximum 14-year prison sentence
  • July 9: Culture Secretary Lucy Frazer holds ‘urgent talks’ with BBC boss Tim Davie.

UPDATE: Syria bans the BBC

BBC journalists will no longer be able to legally work in Syria after the country’s authorities revoked their accreditation.

This isn’t related to the BBC sex scandals, but will likely prove to be an important future vector for reducing the importance of the media and its ability to push an international narrative. If all the BRICS countries follow suit and ban all Western media companies, it will severely restrict their reach, their revenues, and their influence.

Eventually, everyone from individuals to entire nations will learn the necessity of refusing to talk to the media.

Surrender Monkeys Urge Surrender

It reads like a vicious American parody, but this is an actual editorial published by Le Monde in response to the recent invader riots that have literally set France on fire.

Urban riots: the need for appeasement
EDITORIAL
Le Monde

While it is necessary to question the roots of the violence in France following the death of young Nahel M., the seriousness of the situation requires us all to call for calm. This is first and foremost in the interests of the inhabitants of neighborhoods considered difficult, with whom we must show solidarity.

Yes, because appeasement is famous for having worked out so well for the appeasers. At this point, no Frenchman or Frenchwoman can possibly continue to imagine that the French elite, or the liberal democracy which purports to uphold, is even remotely conducive to the long-term survival of the French nation.

Where is La Résistance when it’s even more desperately needed than it was before? And why does anyone bow before an elite so aptly derided as “cheese-eating surrender monkeys”.

Not Even Hot Girls

Should talk to the media. The Cavinder Twins discover that the media lies before it even puts its lies into print.

“The interview for this article was obtained by a false pretense that it would be written about our life after NIL, why we didn’t take our fifth year, our passions, and business opportunities,” she wrote. “We were specifically told via the publication the context would be to ‘see the Cavinders as a very important story not only in the context of women’s college sports but the new media culture and business. They’re building a hugely successful brand, and they’re at the forefront of a new space, and we think that’s exciting and newsworthy.’

“We discussed with our team and met the media opportunity openly after reviewing the intentions. Haley and I welcomed this man into our home. He followed us throughout the entire weekend asking us questions and understanding what goes on in our daily lives. After the weekend, we had a sit down interview in our kitchen for over an hour and was only asked one question regarding our ‘physical looks.’

“The subsequent article not only demeaned our athletic and business accomplishments, it furthered the narrative that hard working, creative and driven women can only do well if they are deemed attractive. The piece disregards our work ethic and dedication toward NIL and business endeavors. He fails to acknowledge the young girls/woman [sic] that follow us and that we work so hard to inspire. Instead, he degrades us down to ‘hot girl(s).’ We agreed to do the interview and wanted to support a woman ran news outlet. We are both disappointed and disgusted by this journalism practice and blatant sexist trope. We only wish to inspire young woman [sic] to chase their dreams, work hard, think big. Now we must also defend them against men that wish to sum their potential to physical appearance.”

Hanna Cavinder Calls Out Publication for Interview ‘Obtained by a False Pretense’, 14 June 2023

It’s hard to blame the stars of social media for not understanding the fundamentally dishonest nature of the mainstream media. But I have no doubt they’ll learn very quickly that when one has an audience of thousands, or even millions, one has no use whatsoever for the dubious benefits dangled by the narrative police.

Turning the Tide!

The long-awaited Ukrainian offensive has been launched and it is succeeding on every front, if the British media is to be believed.

The battle the world has been waiting for: As Ukraine’s counter-offensive gets underway, a breakdown of what has been achieved so far, with Russia on the backfoot and Western weapons turning the tide.

The long-awaited moment has arrived: Ukraine’s counter-attack, for which the country has been preparing since late last year, is now underway. Kyiv is saying nothing, but Ukrainian officials, Western analysts and Russian military bloggers all agree the attack began early this week with fighting ramping up across the frontline since then.

Ukrainian officials say there will be no single thrust and the offensive is designed as a series of operations that will take months to play out. What we have seen over the last week is merely the opening gambit. But things are already starting to take shape.

Ukraine is attacking on three fronts in the east, south-east, and south of the country: Bakhmut, which was captured by Russia last month; Velyka Novosilka & Novodonetsk, in Donetsk oblast; and Orikhiv, in neighbouring Zaporizhzhia.

I just like to post these things for the record, so they aren’t buried in a few weeks if events don’t proceed in the way the media was first reporting them. I particularly enjoyed the self-congratulatory “Western weapons turning the tide”.

I wonder how long it will be before the British media is desperately denying that any weapons or personnel were supplied to the Ukrainian forces or involved in the offensive?

Why the Media Hated the Pick-Up Artists

Because, as it turns out, pick-up artistry proved to be an effective means of penetrating morass of lies in which every young man has been enmeshed for the entirety of his life. Krauser reviews Mere Christianity:

Having followed atheism for a few decades and lived a highly individualist and pleasure-seeking life I became aware of what Christian moral philosophers have warned for hundreds of years: atheism is a dead end. It ends in nihilism. I experienced such nihilism in 2016 and by 2017 I was looking for a better way. So far there’s only been one barrier to my converting to Christianity: my lack of belief in God. Aside from that small obstacle, I agree with the thesis that Christianity is one of the three pillars of Western Civilisation (white nations and the Greco-Roman legacy being the other two) and by removing Christianity from the West we have set ourselves into a rapid decline into nihilism and paganism. It’s a shit show.

Anyway, I give this preamble to explain why I decided to read Mere Christianity. I realised that every single time that I am an expert on a topic and I compare my knowledge to the media’s, I realise the media isn’t simply wrong. They are deceitfully wrong. They are deliberately hiding the truth in order to advance a false narrative. Whether the topic is global finance, mixed martial arts, Game, or anything else the lesson is the same: the media are liars. So, knowing that the media is virulently anti-Christian, I asked myself the obvious question:

Does the media tell the truth about Christianity?

The chances aren’t high, are they? I don’t mean that the media is atheist and therefore do they support Christianity, but rather can they be trusted to speak accurately of what Christianity actually is, of what Christians actually believe?

The logic is impeccable. And his conclusion is correct:

There is no logical inconsistency at all between the God of the Bible, salvation, and the existence of Evil.

I’m rather annoyed that I had to wait until I was 43 years old before learning that. I feel like I’ve been seriously lied to. It would’ve been nice if all those Philosophy Of Religion courses had laid out the arguments and let me make my own mind up.

He was lied to. All of us were lied to, repeatedly. The observable existence of Evil is not a disproof of God or Christianity, for what should be the obvious reason that Evil is a necessary element in Christian theology. This pathway from hedonistic truth to spiritual truth may explain why a commenter at AC’s place observes a surprisingly common pattern.

Manosphere –> Krauser / Heartise / Roosh –> Vox –> AC –> Cabal and Evil Aware –> God right down to the mentions in passing that blown the door open to the next stage could be a common pattern. Might explain why there was a never a hit piece on the likes of Krauser. And now Roosh is Christian I doubt they’d even whisper his name.

Remember, the truth always leads, eventually, to the Truth. And just as liars fear the truth, their masters fear the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

SpongeBob PedoPants

At this point, all children’s shows need to be considered intrinsically suspect. Just as all media “fact-checks” need to be considered inherently false.

Posts on Facebook claim that the address shown on the driver’s license of SpongeBob SquarePants, the animated sea sponge who has starred in the eponymous Nickelodeon show since 1999, is located on Little St. James, the private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands once owned by Jeffrey Epstein. This claim is false.

False. The address seen on SpongeBob SquarePants’s driver’s license is not the address of a theme park located on Jeffrey Epstein’s island.

Theme park? Who said anything about a theme park? Here is the address:

And here, verified repeatedly by myself and others as recently as 31 May 2023, is the result of putting that address into Google Maps. Apologies to those on mobile, but the detail is insufficiently clear at 512 pixels wide. The address is clearly shown on Epstein’s infamous Little Saint James island.

That goofy creepy stuff isn’t good, beautiful, or true anyhow. And it’s not as if “Bikini Bottom” isn’t questionable enough for a little kid’s show.
