Not News...

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” George Orwell, 1984

 

Dominion voting’s lawsuit,

Has pulled back a Bizarro land of Oz curtain,

Led by an Aussie who I can’t Grok with,

Rupert doesn’t write poetry to start with,

Emperor Murdoch has no clothes,

And has utter disdain for his viewers/victims,

 

Rupert,

Consciously let his anchors,

Lie to their viewers about the election,

Telling them the truth about an accurate result in Arizona,

Drove them over the deep end into a conspiratorial abyss,

Letting Mike Lindell, Sydney Powell, and Rudy Giuliani spew their filth,

Confessing under oath: “It’s all about [the] Benjamin’s, baby!”

 

Roger Ailes created this hellish network,

After Richard Nixon flamed himself out with Watergate,

Rupert was all in on it,

Funded by him and a Saudi Sheikh,

To pump out gaslighting to its viewers,

On a nightly, daily, and weekly basis,

 

Rupert and Roger wanted,

Not just a conservative-friendly “news” outlet,

They wanted to bend the laws of physics, reality, science, and facts themselves,

 

The first razor-thin election was in the year 2000,

The public [was] prepped by fear of the Y2K virus,

To condition them for a faux apocalypse,

After stealing the election with Clarence Thomas,

Junior ignored the August 6 presidential daily briefing,

“Bin Laden Determined to Strike in US,”

“Well, you’ve covered your ass now,” he said in Crawford, Texas,

Caught flat-footed in a Florida classroom on September 11,

 

He turned a disaster into a political advantage,

His party turned it into Münchausen syndrome by proxy,

Continually ruining the patient - the federal republic - to reclaim 9/11’s “glory.”

 

Fox is not a news outlet,

It’s a propaganda arm for weirdos and fascists,

Their own lawyers’ defense of Tucker Carlson in court was:

“The ‘general tenor’ of the show should then inform a viewer that [Carlson] is not ‘stating actual facts about the topics he discusses and is instead engaging in ‘exaggeration’ and ‘non-literal commentary.’” [1]

In other words, he's lying.

 

Rush Limbaugh called his followers “Ditto Heads.”

Alex Jones should call his "Prepper Pigeons."

How about: “Tucker Suckers?”

The shoe fits.

 

Brian Welch,

In a 2010 HuffPost article,

Made the point succinct and district:

Fox is a cult. [2]

This observation was nine years after 9/11 and eleven years before January 6,

Their objective is to take over their viewers’ minds,

Making them susceptible to autosuggestion,

Facts for them are irrelevant,

 

Murdoch,

Shared election ads and debate notes,

From the Joe Biden campaign,

With Jared Kushner,

The son-in-law of Orange Satan,

This act is a violation of Federal Election Commission laws,

Defined as “an illegal in-kind donation,”

This act is a violation of the Security and Exchange Commission,

And the fiduciary Board of Directors in the corporation,

Emperor Murdoch only controls thirty-nine percent,

Which does not give him a controlling majority,

After the Dominion lawsuit concludes,

Likely with a massive settlement,

It opens people like Former House Speaker Paul Ryan,

On the Board of Directors, to personal liability and lawsuits!

He had a fiduciary responsibility,

On learning about the deception,

To resign his position and go PUBLIC,

News flash: he didn’t.

 

Fox was the first to align its reporting desk with its entertainment business.

Boycott 20th Century Fox movies.

Instead of ignoring this fascist propaganda ignorance,

We must eliminate it to save our republic.

 

Since they license under their entertainment division,

I offer a new name to label this distinction:

 

“Not” News.

A simple change,

From a noun to an adverb, it will tell anyone who dares to watch it,

Their best bet for accuracy is with “The Onion.”

 

The First Amendment protects freedom of speech and the press,

That freedom does not mean,

Colluding with political campaigns,

Or spouting Russian propaganda nonsense nightly in prime time,

 

They’re following the Russian propaganda technique: Firehose of falsehoods,”

 

An avalanche from atop Jon Stewart’s “bullshit mountain.”

American citizens will stop caring about the truth!

Their audience has had twenty-seven years of this Pavlovian conditioning.

 

Rupert Murdoch, Tucker Carlson, Maria Bartiromo, Laura Ingrate, and Sean Insanity,

All were lying,

During the 2020 election,

Leading up to the January 6 insurrection,

They panicked when upstarts News Min and QAN copied,

Their propaganda model,

Taking a measly 10,000 viewers,

The latter: AT&T dropped them.

The former barely registers as a pixel blip.

“The stock price is down: not a joke!”

Spouted by the guy too weird for the CIA,

Spouted by the guy fired from CNN, MSNBC,

On his third try,

He was taken in by Sith Lord Murdoch because instead of journalism, all he had to do was lie.

 

Ailes, Limbaugh, and Murdoch,

The “vast, right-wing conspiracy” Axis of Evil,

They were the “original gangsters” who monetized crazy,

“Loofah” O’Reilly brought us the made-up “war on Christmas,”

While committing stochastic terrorism until Dr. George Tiller was murdered.

Alex Jones grifted [much] later on the parents of Sandy Hook,

They will continue this until monetary legal accountability hurts them.

It’s why conservatives attack public education.

Democracy requires an “informed citizenry,”

Ignorance is the foundation of tyranny.

A propaganda machine cannot defend the First Amendment,

While simultaneously hinting at “Second Amendment” remedies,

 

I hope this lawsuit finishes this sponsor of domestic terrorism.

 

Give Vulpes Canis, the Fox, its grace and dignity,

Disassociate it from your alternative reality,

And call American Pravda what it is [really]: “Not” News.
