Media outlets recycle the same fake stories repeatedly to exploit public memory loss.

I have a stack of news here and I figured out what they're doing. They recycle stories every few weeks thinking you have no memory. They put out the same fake story over and over again.

Alex Jones is actively exploiting or hoping that his audience doesn't have a memory or doesn't look into things.

He constantly yells about people having no memory and the globalists want you to have no memory. He's actively exploiting or hoping that his audience doesn't have a memory or doesn't look into things.

Accusations of racism and sexism are manipulative labels used by the mainstream media to control people.

But it doesn't matter, because it makes the conformist feel good and strong to use those magic words the corporate media taught you. Racism, sexism, homophobia, all these things that become all that matter. And even though you're not fighting any of those things, it doesn't matter. They invoke it. And they say it, and then people get it, and they use it, and that's their identity. There's a couple of terms you run around and use. You have no family. You have no future. You have no honor. You have no will. You have no understanding of history. You just worship the system and the mainstream television and the latest downloads you get every day from it. Over and over again. Year after year.

Stephen Colbert edited a clip of Alex Jones to remove the word 'not' from his statement, making it appear he said he was anti-gay.

It's like I saw Stephen Colbert like two months ago. Play this clip off YouTube. Tiny little clip. They had it shrunk down. I can probably recite what he's about to say verbatim. Okay. There was a clip of me, and it had me saying, I'm anti-gay. And they took out the not. I'm not anti-gay.

The Idaho Statesman published a photo of Alex Jones being escorted by police to imply he was arrested.

First, they have a photo of myself last year being escorted by police after I was attacked by a communist out of a public park at the RNC. Now, as of 5 o 'clock in the morning, they didn't have a caption under it saying that I was being escorted out by police. They just left it up there to make it look like I was being arrested.

Edward Bernays predicted in the 1920s that Hollywood and politics would merge to make everyone stars.

Most people that are in media do it because they are make-believe, want to be stars. And like Edward Bernays said in the 20s, we'll merge Hollywood and politics and make everybody stars. And everybody else that isn't a star is low level.

Drudge Report manipulated Jorge Ramos's quotes to create a misleading headline suggesting whites will become a minority.

Yeah, the Drudge Report headline basically took the first part of a sentence, cut out the middle, and then the last part of a sentence. And then also. They crunched them together and made it seem like Ramos was threatening everybody.

The prohibition on using the term 'Islamic terror' is a psychological operation designed to make Alex Jones appear as President Trump's boss so that Spicer and others will dismiss him.

So Infowars is behind President Trump's idea that the media is covering up terrorist attacks. That was on CNN last night. This morning, it's everywhere. And sure, it gives us a little bit of traffic, but they have dwindling audiences of idiots. This is mainly a PSYOP so that Spicer and people read this and go, look, Mr. President, more about how Alex Jones is your boss. Don't listen to him. Go with the mainline Republicans. Listen to Priebus. That goes on, by the way, behind the scenes.

Alex Jones created a sensationalized special report to distract from Michael Flynn's resignation.

Yeah, so I mean, you know this is just yet another example of you know him. Taking a source, he created an entire special report yeah, to try and distract from the fact that Flynn was way out of line. Yeah, this is why 2k all over again. He took a news story that didn't say what he said it said and then used it as a deflection from his main man, Michael Flynn having to resign. So he didn't have to talk about that.

Brian Stelter's reporting is written by psychiatrists aiming to manipulate America.

He comes right out and says it's verifiably a lie that this is all scientific. You open up an area of your brain that's of questions where you're open and looking. Then he tells you he's absolutely a fraud, lying to you constantly. All this is written by psych warfare chiefs, little chicken-neck psychiatrists behind the scenes flapping their fingers, you know, hoping to screw America over because they'll be manly someday if they can just dominate those big men they see at the grocery store and drive in those big trucks.
