“Journalism used to be a working class trade, and throughout the twentieth century journalists became part of the American elites, and as they did so they abandoned the working class of all races, and what we are seeing now with woke media is just the latest stage of that abandonment”
“You really see a lot of class solidarity right now among liberal elites, and I’m saying this as a lefty … I’m coming at this from the left and feeling like “how did we abandon the working class – again, of all races? How did we become the side that comforts the comfortable and afflicts the afflicted?””
“My book opens with a scene from CNN of two of their hosts who are both millionaires calling every single person who voted for Donald Trump racist, when we know that Donald Trump won the vast majority of people without a college degree, right? And to me that was this primal scene of these people who had won by every metric, sneering and smearing the people who had lost.”
A leftist who, instead of denying the overwhelmingly leftist media bias, seeks to understand and explain it, in the context of the wider abandonment of the indigenous working classes by the mainstream US (and UK) political left, in favour of more trendy ideological virtue signalling about minorities and open borders, to benefit the more appealing foreign poor (and, as both point out, protect the interests of their globalist elite employers).
Her language and analysis is of the left, and I wouldn’t necessarily agree with it entirely, but at least there’s an honesty and substance there that the lefty deniers who insist there’s no leftist elite, no leftist bias, completely lack.

Anyone know how a “primal scene” is relevant to this discussion?
(The expression “primal scene” refers to the sight of sexual relations between the parents, as observed, constructed, and/or fantasized by the child and interpreted by the child as a scene of violence.)
I just blew past it, assuming “primal” was intended in its normal sense. Is there some sort of Freudian nonsense attacked to the phrase?
When All The Media Narratives Collapse
In case after case, the US MSM just keeps getting it wrong.
“But when the sources of news keep getting things wrong, and all the errors lie in the exact same direction, and they are reluctant to acknowledge error, we have a problem. If you look back at the last few years, the record of errors, small and large, about major stories, is hard to deny. It’s as if the more Donald Trump accused the MSM of being “fake news” the more assiduously they tried to prove him right.”
Not sure if this has been posted here before, but since it addresses one of the major underlying causes of our current political and social dysfunction in the US sphere, it bears reposting anyway.
Sullivan himself has been part of the problem at times – rejecting social conservatism because it didn’t suit his personal lifestyle choices, and embracing neoconservative US-uber-alles militarism after 9/11 (though he seems to have repented of that, at least). I haven’t noticed what his position on covid has been. But he’s correctly describing the problem of the media, here.
“the Rittenhouse case — a gruesome story of a reckless teen with a rifle in the wake of the police shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha….The far right viewed Rittenhouse as a hero — which he surely wasn’t. He had no business being there with an AR-15.”
Here Sullivan is profoundly and crucially wrong. Rittenhouse can be criticised for naivety, but he was no more in the wrong place with his AR-15 than were any of the numerous young men of the same age who have volunteered (sometimes lying about their age) to fight, kill and die for their country, over the centuries. What he lacked was a body of like minded older men about him to give him structure, leadership and support, because the authorities and American society in general had basically been derelict in their duty to be there standing guard against the politically motivated rioting leftist scum at Kenosha.
(That said, watching the videos, one is most struck by his remarkable maturity and trigger discipline under extreme threat. I’m pretty confident Sullivan couldn’t have come close.)
The truth about Kenosha as we wait for the outcome of a politically motivated trial of a young man who should never have been put on trial at all, because he was patently acting in self defence, is:
“we’re waiting to see if riots break out because of media lies about a case from a riot that happened because of media lies.”
There will be trouble whichever way the Rittenhouse trial goes. He’s so obviously not guilty by reason of self defence, that it’s effectively the right of self defence and the second amendment that are on trial here. If the jury is biased or intimidated enough to convict on one of the trumped up charges, it will be a huge push towards secession.
Why did they let Kenosha burn?
Innocent isn’t how I’d describe him, guilty of murder of course not, from my understanding & I’m not following it that closely, he was underage, so it was in that sense an illegal weapon. Looks like he’ll get a mistrial one way or another anyway.
Politicians should be in the dock not him, they encouraged & facilitated this the outcome was inevitable.
“he was underage, so it was in that sense an illegal weapon“
No, that charge was struck out by the judge a couple of days ago, after the prosecution accepted that the weapon he had was not illegal for him to carry.
Innocent of all of the crimes he was accused of, he certainly was.
As I say I’ve not been following it closely, so I stand corrected, just like covid isn’t about a virus, this isn’t about a kid & a gun.
“this isn’t about a kid & a gun”
Exactly right.
But it is about the kind of people who are perfectly happy to ruin a courageous young man’s life to score political points.
The downvote thing is bizarre, you can’t innocently kill 2 people LOL, justified, perhaps, self defence yes, innocent no. You don’t take a gun to a riot without intent.
So the Armed people Rittenhouse shot in self-defence are also on similar charges?
“So the armed
peoplecriminals Rittenhouse shot and killed in self defence . . .”You can if it is to defend your property or that of your family.
Compared to the UK, Americans do have vastly different views and laws relating to what is right or wrong with what you can or cannot do with guns.
That’s people in the UK are delusional, feminised and propagandised hoplophobes when it comes to weapons and the use of force generally, having been conditioned to accept an infantilised role subordinate to a supposedly protective but actually abusive state. As indeed are a lot of people in the US.
But pockets of healthy, rational humanity remain there, sufficient so far to retain sane laws and attitudes to some extent.
We’re neotes, state pets at best but cattle is how I would describe our primary role.
Taming is quite a good analogy.
There’s nothing wrong with killing someone who is attacking you with criminal intent, and the only people to blame for the deaths of such criminals (like the people attacking.Rittenhouse) are the criminals themselves (and perhaps those who foment or cover for their actions). Mind you, I didn’t down-vote you here,
Thanks for the link.
Thank goodness for Tucker Carlson and Fox News.
If you remember the English City riots from a few years back when Kurdish and other groups banded together to defend their businesses and communities, against rioters without a cause, they were applauded as heroes but when the white working classes from Pecham and Catford did the same they were attacked by police and condemned in the press as right wing racially motivated extremists.
“It is not a recommendation, but an order,” announced the Interior Minister Karl Nehammer at a press conference. “

I must say, Sayers has been a real disappointment. At the beginning of the covid panic, Sayers and Unherd appeared to be offering a reasonably open minded, independent and intelligent questioning of the hysteria, but over the course of the panic he has shifted to being at best a mild questioner of some of the worst aspects of the panic, and at times an outright apologist and enabler.
“On a practical level, though, the logic of the new rules does not withstand much scrutiny: unvaccinated workers are permitted to travel to and from work, and they work disproportionately within the hospitality sector. This means that they are currently allowed into restaurants and bars to serve, but not to consume. In any case, if there were only vaccinated people in a venue, that wouldn’t necessarily make it Covid-free. Many places require daily testing for non-vaccinated staff, yet not for the vaccinated, leading to the odd situation where the unvaccinated are “safer” than the patrons.”
No proper mention of the two fundamentally discrediting things about this policy – that the disease is nothing even approaching a public health emergency, and second, even if it were, the “vaccines” neither prevent infection nor prevent spreading.
All Sayers can manage is to sneer at the political right for representing the resistance.
Very much part of the problem, it appears.

or young and thus need none of the risky “protection” against covid symptoms the clot shots temporarily give (if you trust their own stats, which i increasingly do not).
Point taken.
I visited Austria several times when younger finding the people to be very conformist, culturally conservative in a Catholic Bavarian way, very pretty, very charmin, very clean and proper (with the exception of one visit where I fell in with a bohemian underground crowd in Vienna not fit for discussion on a family website).
That conformism might explain the widespread welcome Austrians gave to the nazis following unification with Germany (not an original Hitler idea) but is not reflected by 2 million vaccine refuseniks so perhaps they have changed in the last 40 years.
One thing that struck me (early 1980s) was that from about 20 miles to the Hungarian border the landscape got ever more desolate the closer you got to the Iron Curtain; farms rundown, even deserted, poorer and degraded infrastructure, dismal shops.
Having read Lord of the Rings at an early age it really did seem to be like approaching Mordor.
That helped end any lingering doubts about the benefits of capitalism compared to the Socialist system.
Content on the BBC is just crap. In the feed is this.

The section above this states that Germany’s lower house of parliament has passed proposals for new restrictions put forward by the incoming governing coalition. The new set of measures will include access to public transport and the workplace only for people who have been vaccinated or tested.
Just like The Netherlands. Germany’s coalition that is issuing proposals on new laws and acting before it has got a working agreement between all parties to form a government.
The BBC no longer (for many years now) makes even a pretence of being an objective reporter of news. It is openly an advocacy/propaganda outfit.
Defund the BBC.
We should all call out these organisations for what they are. That’s what I’m going to do from now on.

Again a carnival revolution, somehow I don’t think a party atmosphere is really going to cut it. I’m not calling for violence, but a mild-mannered, banner waving, street carnival never met my definition of revolution.
We have seen endless mass demonstrations against covid panic measures around the world, but it’s difficult to point to much of an impact from any of them (perhaps some of the rowdier ones in places like Denmark and Holland)
Thousands protest in Czech Republic against new Covid lockdown for the unvaccinated banning them from public events, bars and restaurants

This exactly what needs to happen, calling this out for the shit it is. Just Tory MP’s doing the usual misdirection.
HAVE THEY INCREASED CAPACITY YET?
Of course not, let’s start looking at the ten years of Jeremy fffing *unt’s, role as health secretary for the ministry of neglect. If the NHS can’t cope, it’s because of him.
Cope or not it doesn’t justify a single house arrest. Blame where blame is deserved, politicians & NHS managers should be behind bars, awaiting the gallows.
NHS bed capacity has been steadily declining since its inception in 1948, partly because better medicine means fewer very lengthy hospital stays but mostly cost cutting.
Just prior to Covid there were plans to close 5 out of about 8 A&E departments across north London to be replaced by 2 or 3 Super A&Es permanently staffed by every specialist under the sun but really this was a cost cutting venture and to suit the convenience of management.
yes i’d bet 5 in 8 management wouldn’t be getting p45s
Also bears repeating in this context that when almost 80% of the entire country cannot get a face to face appointment with their GP then what do you expect is going to happen to the health of that 80% – meaning that hospitals will be overwhelmed, and not necessarily with covid patients.
But that was when some Conservatives, at least, were actually conservative. Why be in the slightest surprised when a collectivist statist like Javid pushes worship of the quintessential state socialist body – a nationalised state healthcare bureaucracy?.
Javid is a rent-seeker.
The state is there to stealthily pump wealth to the establishment.
The NHS effectively subsidises immigration and mitigates the obviousness of downward wage pressure.
When advocating the miracles of vaccines, polio is often touted as the wonder drug of vaccines & why everyone should get jabbed, I knew a person with polio disability!
Dr Suzanne Humphries, MD – Smoke, Mirrors, & The “Disappearance” of Polio (Vaccines)
Antivaxer, antivaxxer, antivaxxer, but it’s interesting & the only way to discover the truth is to debate what she’s saying, is it right or wrong?
The compelling reason why I listen to professional antivaxxers is that they give reference based arguments & compelling evidence to support their theories.
The vaccinators just spit vitriol, usually trying to discredit the person, not their science!
That’s easy. 12-15 year-olds definitely shuold not under any circumstances have the gene therapy. They’re teenagers facing a virus that does not harm them. They do not need experimental gene therapy.
But it’s their duty to society! (sarc)
The public is always described as ‘confused’ when it refuses to accept the governments messages which is why the term “vaccine hostile” is preferable to “vaccine hesitant”.
https://theexpose.uk/2021/10/31/100-percent-of-covid-19-vaccine-deaths-caused-by-just-5-percent-of-the-batches-produced/
I’ve shared this before but please scan read it again.
When I heard that just 5% of vaccine lots were associated within not 5% of deaths, but closer to 100%, I knew immediately what it meant.
This pattern has been confirmed now to be happening with two separate covid19 vaccines.
It means that someone or something is deliberately poisoning some of the vaccine vials, killing their recipients
There’s no other explanation. It can not occur naturally or randomly.
Please pause to think about it.
Hold the line, and warn others to reject the booster. It’ll only lead inevitably to the 4th & 5th injection.
Best wishes

Dr Mike Yeadon
But we don’t know what’s in the vaccines.
Where did the “Batch” explanation come from in the first place?
I really don’t believe a word, big pharma & captured regulators say, so who says it’s even true. I certainly don’t trust anything the state tells me. Mike stick to science, please don’t get sucked into their narrative.
I think we’ve got a lot more to worry about than 4th & 5th injections. This has opened the floodgates to medical tyranny, DNA data harvesting, unlimited vaccinations for almost every ailment, not to mention where compulsory digital identity will take us!
I do believe that it was Mike who identified the dubious batches
At the beginning of vaccine roll-out the Ministry of Health excused a short delay by saying that their own laboratories checked each and every batch for safety before distribution.
Agree we don’t know what’s in jabs, Pharma et al not believable and multiple serious issues ‘snowing us under’, but ‘snow’ can be reciprocated.
More challenges to them, more ‘snowed-under’ they’ll be from every direction.
I’m no expert, so if there’re any here, please kindly correct this: –
Think Yeadon is drawing on his specialist know-how when referring to batches.
Think manufacturing routinely done in batches, quality-control check each batch chemically same, sample of each kept in case of subsequent issue and each dose should have batch number on it.
When issue crops up, back-tracking to retained sample from specific batch routine as difference between batches possible.
Manufacturing plants can resemble ‘clean-rooms’ with limited access – tiny quantities in each dose means risk of contamination real and, tampering an issue where enormous profits are involved

Local online is reporting the north of the County as having the highest ‘covid rates’ in the country. Shock! Horror!?
No, not really as that district went from last spring through summer and into autumn with extremely low levels of Covid despite it being a staycation destination, often going for weeks with no cases at all.
Nature catching up with itself is all.
Roundup ‘Vaclav Havel and the semiotics of public masking’.
As an out and about ‘key worker’ during lockdown proper I was subject to remarkably few constraints personally; the most notable thing was simply that everywhere was closed, bar supermarkets and convenience stores.
I would have liked to have been with Vaclav Havel as the population were slowly liberated from lockdown at the same time as the always working Nurses and health care workers were suddenly required to start wearing masks all day long.
At this point, thanks to lockdownsceptics, I acquired my first Mask Exempt Lanyard.
Takeaways and Cafes were opened so long as customers did not sit down, even outside, or use the toilet.
I was wondering why life was becoming more restricted, not less, as Covid took its predictable summer break. The kiddies playgrounds remained meanly locked and bolted months after people were permitted to invade seaside beaches.
People were then allowed to eat a sandwich on a park bench but not sit on a blanket to do so as that constituted an illegal picnic.
Then came general public mask wearing in shops where vast queues suddenly became the norm nationwide when there had been none during lockdown proper. Those queues were artificially created by limiting the number of available tills, clearly orchestrated by central government so that everyone could watch and judge their fellows ‘social distancing’.
I wonder if Vaclav would have seen it all as an exercise in mass Conformity as it surely was. All ‘they’ needed to do was tap into any supermarket CCTV feed or the ubiquitous local authority spy networks to instantly asses the level of compliance in what I felt everyone must know were empty gestures.

“The possibility that people might want to reject climate lockdowns and Covid lockdowns of their own volition does not seem to occur to BBC conspiracy theorists,”
Really? I think the truth is rather different – those in the BBC pushing agendas know that smearing people as “conspiracy theorists” (preferably far-right) is a quick and effective way to discredit and marginalise them and avoid having to make an argument on the issues.
The BBC were rudely awakened when angry people turned up to heckle a live piece to camera misrepresenting the Liverpool ‘incident’.
They had to cut to studio to the obvious embarrassment of the anchor host.

Roundup. Insulate Britain protesters sent to ‘jail’ (vile Americanism) for road blockages’ RT.
No they weren’t, they were sent to gaol for Contempt of Court, ie disrespecting Their Worships.
Fair enough, at least it means they all got 4-6 months chokey, long enough disruption to their pampered middle class intellectual lifestyles. Even if they get access to the prison library I doubt they will find the books available to their liking.
Pity they weren’t done for Conspiracy, that has a maximum sentence of Life.
Visited my first customer on their premises since 2019 yesterday. They’re a marketing agency with pronouns in signature so I was expecting the worst.
Sure enough, the 2 receptionists welcomed me by putting on their muzzles, checking my temperature and asking me to muzzle up when moving around the site. The look of horror when I said the magic words was priceless and I could see their little brains working behind their eyes!
The guy I’m working with came out to get me and repeated the muzzle mandate. I said the phrase politely again. We carried on to where I’m working for 3 days, they opened all the doors and windows, I don’t know if for their safety or not.
I was half expecting them to call my company after I’d left yesterday and ask me not to return, but I guess without knowing my ‘exemption’ they’d look like they were discriminating and a company as right-on as them couldn’t be seen to be doing that.
Its going to be a long 2 days!
Very amusing but are people still behaving in that nonsensical way, even when it isn’t mandatory?
Just another type of woke virtue signalling as indicated in your first paragraph.
Reminder folks, you don’t need to wear an ‘exempt’ lanyard, as court writes just say the magic word and any further enquiry is Disability Discrimination liable to a fine of £6k for starters.
I think the most shocking thing in the UnHerd article was the stance of the human rights lawyer. Cannot fathom how his views about mandating the jab are at complete odds with what I’d expect from somebody who’s an expert in human rights abuses! So he’s selective in the rights he defends. Torture is obviously wrong but ostracizing someone from society and dehumanizing them until they cave and get an injection they don’t need or want is somehow acceptable? The right to bodily autonomy is permitted in one set of circumstances but not the other? Wonder where he stands on the Nuremberg Code!! Just aghast…call me naive but if I expected anyone to have an intact moral compass and be up in arms about what is happening worldwide it’d be the human rights lawyers.
Human Rights lawyers have been notable by their absence throughout, not least Cherie Blair, probably busy looking after her husband’s property portfolios.
Interesting to see France getting another wave, despite/because of its early and ubiquous passe de la honte usage, masking prevalence and vaxxing push.
Obviously, the vaxx push role models Gibraltar, Portugal have fallen from their pedestal even earlier.
But instead of changing course, they just double down and their lies get ever more big, desperate and absurd.
Sadly, even Sweden is now losing its marbles, although at least they are not discriminating yet (additional testing also for the vaxxed, what use is the passport then?). And as for the UK, the outlook is dire in that regard.
Latest example for both is the BMJ mask study.
Good the see the exact opposite finding by Cato reviewed here today, even before that BMJ one will be debunked, as I am sure our smart doctors will do.
But with masks, even if one can’t do logic, what more evidence does anyone need that they have zero positive benefit than Covid in Swedish schools compared to the rest of them?!
The Brownstone article is one of the best ever on those topics, a must read, on par with Desmet.
My additional 5cts on it are that indeed we can see the resorting to prophecies only as that ‘science’ (see the Mask studies/Guardian study today), and that many people in the elite and among the public and the mob are also attracted by the small privileges and increase in power and status over others they gain by participating actively.
The elite is now also at the stage, where they simply either can’t see the collapse coming anymore, and therefore have no viable alternative but to participate, and/or they realize that it doesn’t make sense anymore to oppose, as if there comes the eventual collapse, it will be so brutal and all encompassing that there is ‘noone left to claim’ aka go after them.
This is the big difference between the 1930s or communism and now, and the reason why I am not that optimistic that such turnabouts will come: every country is in it this time around, there is no escape route, no opponent, no shining light that exposes the fraud and attracts and inspires the slaves to revolt simply by shining and existing, like West Germany did for East Germans.
The time factor is also against us, of course, as those revolts took many decades to be successful.
The uncomfortable truth is, that we can and must only hope that they let us live and forego stage 5 this time, and that DeSantis becoming POTUS AND delivering is the only way this can end early and without mass deaths of the vaxxed, first in the US and shortly thereafter elsewhere. With mass deaths of the vaxxed, the revolt will come earlier, of course, but this should not be what we or anyone should wish for nor count upon.
Not exactly ‘big’ news, but perhaps more indicative of how the media has changed – even the supposedly ‘conservative’ outlets like the Telegraph. Notice how practically none of the UK MSM outlets have reviewed the film ‘Ghostbusters: Afterlife’?
It opens today (not that most people would know, given zero publicity sans watching trailers in cinemas), and it isn’t a follow-up to the woke, misandrist cr@p 2016 abomination either, but from the ‘original’ two films. I think that the MSM want this film to fail.
The Telegraph’s ‘chief film critic’ Robbie Collin already has given his thoughts on the matter (he gave the 2016 pile of doo-doo a 5 star review and said on Twatter in April that how would he explain to his kids that the new film wasn’t a follow-up to the 2016 one) has yet to review the film, and I could only find one from The Grauniad (originally posted a month ago and ‘refershed’ yesterday with a 1/5 review) and from Empire magazine, which dropped there’s over a month ago and thus it doesn’t appear on their front page of their website.
To the untrained eye, you wouldn’t know this film is now showing.
Robbie ‘revioew’ (read hit-piece) just dropped:

Needless to say (IMHO) he’s once again attacking REAL fans of the franchise out of spite, just like he did after giving Ghostbusters 2016 4/5, The Last Jedi 5/5 and Captain Marvel 4/5 in recent years.
How this (IMHO) woke pr*ck luvvie works for a supposedly conservative newspaper is beyond me.
I had just dismissed the film on the basis that it was probably more woke shite like the last one. Are you saying it isn’t and it’s worth giving it a shot?
I have been waiting for reviewers I trust to review the film. Unfortunately they are not ‘professionals’ employed by newspapers, but decent, honest YouTubers whose opinion I trust based on previous reviews, etc, but that means they do have to wait until the film actually is released rather than being invited to media junkets. For example, Gary from Nerdrotic, or ‘the Critical Drinker’.

Likely that their reviews won’t be out for a few days, but I rarely go and see a film on opening week (let alone opening weekend) because I perfer to book the best seat I can, plus it’s cheaper later on.
From the trailers, I would say that this film appears to be geared towards the 12-18 age group, so more really for families than adults outright, as the original film was. I don’t think this new film is woke (not made by the same team as the 2016 one) – the question is whether the new lot can pull it off with teenagers as the leads – I’m not entirely sure, but we’ll see.
I just don’t like the MSM lot like Collin giving low (or high) reviews because of reasons other than the quality of the film, nor attacking fans for having opinions other than theirs or critiquing their reviews, which Robbie has done many times – he actually posted a rant article after getting slated by DT readers for The Last Jedi 5 star review.
I might still give it a go if my fave reviewers give it the thumbs up (and not just for families with teenagers, given I’m just a single bloke in his 40s). TBH I haven’t seen any decent films for some time now – I did see Dune, but it was ok, nothing special.
[update] also worth looking at reviews fro Odin from OMB Reviews:

I suspect the film will do far better in North America than elsewhere.
Thanks. I doubt I’d go to see it in the cinema anyway (been a long time since I bothered doing that), but I might give it a look when it’s out online.
Most Vaccinated” Nation On Earth Cancels Christmas Over Surge In COVID Cases
https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/most-vaccinated-nation-earth-cancels-christmas-over-surge-cases
The latest post by Bob Moran the Telegraph cartoonist who was thrown under the Covid bus by all his former media colleagues is very good –
“About a year ago, I and several other people began to make comparisons between what is happening now in society and what happened in Germany during the 1930s. These comments provoked outrage from the other side and still do. Weirdly, many responded with accusations of Hollocaust denial which I suppose makes about as much sense as any of their other arguments. Another common response was, “Go and read a history book, you ignorant dick.” Or similar. The trouble is, I have read history books. Understandably, my favourite aspect of studying WW2 was looking at the different propaganda posters and cartoons from the time. Many of the posters from Nazi Germany, persuading people to view the Jewish population as dangerous and inhuman, have haunted me ever since. They made me realise the power of propaganda imagery in convincing ‘normal’ people to accept horrific ideas. I remember seeing one in particular, as a 15 year old, which immediately sprang to mind when all of this started. We on this side of the argument are asserting that government propaganda campaigns are being used to convince populations that their fellow citizens are dangerous, disease carrying undesirables. To begin with this covered everybody but now, clearly, it has been shifted to those who are not vaccinated. We who have not been ‘jabbed’ are now spoken about as if we are not really people at all. We are in fact walking sacks of disease. A problem for the rest of society which must be dealt with accordingly. This, we contend, is dangerously similar to what happened with the Jews in Nazi Germany. THEY say, that is absurd. There are absolutely no similarites between propaganda used to make people scared of a disease and the propanga used to make people hate the Jewish population. Here is a Nazi propaganda poster published in France around 1942. This is the image I remembered seeing as a school boy. This was one of the reasons I was so scared about where we were headed, very early on. This is why the other side’s rejection of Holocaust comparisons is so utterly ignorant and dangerous.”
