They know a protest against vote fraud got out of hand when a bunch of idiots turned violent. They know that\u2019s the extent of it and that the people responsible are being punished\u2014end of story.<\/p>\n<p>But the American people also know that all of this ginned-up hysteria and outrage about January 6 being a 9\/11 or Pearl Harbor or an act of <em>insurrection<\/em> and <em>terrorism<\/em>&nbsp;is pure propaganda coming from a media desperate to gaslight the public into something laughable.<\/p>\n<p>The truth is this: thanks to New Media, everyone knows none of the January 6 protesters were armed and that no one \u2014 <em>not one person<\/em> \u2014 has been charged with insurrection or terrorism. What\u2019s more, the only person killed that day was Ashli Babbitt, one of the protesters.<\/p>\n<p>The American people also didn\u2019t forget last year as they watched in horror while the media and Democrats cheered on and encouraged months and months of unprecedented left-wing rioting in more than a dozen Democrat-run cities. And let\u2019s not forget that many of those Black Lives Matter riots included coordinated attacks on <em>democracy itself<\/em>, on police departments, and state capitols.<\/p>\n<p>So from where I sit, today\u2019s failure to put over this January 6 narrative is one more watershed that proves just how diminished the corporate media are, how little power they now have to influence public opinion.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p>Think about this\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Ten years ago, back in 2012, the same media were able to club the Republican Party into submission using nothing more than a stupid comment about rape made by Missouri U.S. Senate candidate Todd Akin.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>Do you remember that?<\/p>\n<p>One Republican says something stupid about rape, everyone in the GOP (including presidential nominee Mitt Romney) immediately disavowed what Akin said, and still, the media had the power to use Akin as a cudgel to tie the GOP up in knots. For weeks and weeks and weeks, right up until the presidential election, the media made Akin the defining issue of the 2020 campaign.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s how much power the media had just ten years ago.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B4\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p>Well, look at the media today. They can\u2019t even put over January 6. Billions of dollars at their disposal, all the major newspapers, two 24\/7 cable news outlets, and they still can\u2019t gain any traction outside of their elite bubble. And it\u2019s not just the polls linked above that prove the media no longer have the ability to gaslight us; look at Joe Biden\u2019s miserable job approval ratings.<\/p>\n<p>If you recall, the media\u2019s Todd Akin narrative was all about distracting the public from then-President Obama\u2019s deadly mishandling of Benghazi and the subsequent cover-up. Today, the media\u2019s motive behind the January 6 hysteria is precisely the same: to try and rescue Joe Biden from his own failures, to try and save the Democrats\u2019 congressional majorities in this year\u2019s midterms, and to distract us from the fact that there was indeed some serious vote-related tomfoolery during the 2020 election.<\/p>\n<p>But this time it\u2019s not working. Biden\u2019s poll numbers remain abysmal. The Democrats will get wiped out in November, and a majority of voters want to see our election laws tightened, including Democrat voters.<\/p>\n<p>So what\u2019s changed since 2012? Why the dramatic decline in the media\u2019s power to influence public opinion? Well, there\u2019s only one reason for that, and it\u2019s New Media. Using the truth, over the last decade, New Media (including social media warriors) have exposed the corporate media\u2019s breathtaking corruption. As a result, trust in the corporate media has declined to levels that seemed impossible ten years ago. New Media are also able to set their own narratives and agendas. As a result, we\u2019re finally able to compete with the corrupt media to shape the national conversation.<\/p>\n<p>Ten years ago, all New Media could do was react to and complain about Todd Akin-style media corruption. Today, we spend much less time on defense and more of our resources to generate our own narratives that offer facts and reason instead of hyperbolic, fact-free nonsense about 9\/11 and insurrection.<\/p>\n<p>Today, we are seeing a media covered in flop sweat flailing away at their dead horse.<\/p>\n<p>Today is a good day \u2014 a very good day.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Follow John Nolte on Twitter <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NolteNC\"><strong><em>@NolteNC<\/em><\/strong><\/a><strong>.&nbsp;<em>Follow his Facebook Page <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/JohnNolteNC\/?skip_nax_wizard=true\"><strong><em>here<\/em><\/strong><\/a><strong><em>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The corporate media\u2019s failure to gain any traction with this absurd January 6 hysteria is a heartening thing to witness.
