I came across this article about a woman murdered in the US by an illegal migrant and something occurred to me. It’s amazing how similar the US liberal left media’s reporting is to that in Sweden, Germany and UK. I can’t verify if it is similar in other western nations, but I would guess it is.
We have fake state controlled journalism, just like the Soviet Union. In fact, I would call this ‘political journalism’, as they report only to a set liberal left political agenda. They don’t report all the truth, they withhold information, miss key
facts or just non-report. This really isn’t journalism at all, there is a word for this though: propaganda.
‘News reporting’ is almost to a point where, just like Soviet Russia, the populace ignore it because they can see right through it. I no longer watch the BBC News or Sky News; it’s a waste of time.
The mainstream media’s writing is a mish-mash of multicultural dogma, liberal left ideology and identity politics; a dangerous and toxic combination. We have essentially entered the post-truth age, where honest reporting, truth telling and proper investigative journalism has ended. Proper journalism is now the home of the alternative media.
The MSM never mention the ethnicity (or religion) of attackers or perpetrators, or anything that diverges from the Liberal Left political line.
At no point in this article does the BBC mention that the London knife crime (and acid attack) epidemic is in fact mostly black-on-black gang warfare. We know it, the population of London know it, even the Liberals know it, but no-one will say it. Sadiq Khan can only blame ‘police cuts’. The hamstrung, politically correct, Common Purpose riddled
police can do nothing but watch carnage and events unfold.
London, or more aptly, LondGONE is quickly becoming the UK’s equivalent of Detroit.
This article and this one are related to the Rotherham grooming scandal. In the Feb 2018 article the rapist is named and shown, no mention of either his ethnicity or religion, nor the ethnicity of the other 110 suspects. In the June 2016, two years earlier, the reporting was essentially the same.
Moving on to the United States…
This article from the Washington Post relates to the white land seizures in South Africa. Here they attacked Trump for bringing this issue up. In fact, the Washington Post seems to fully support confiscation of private land (aka Communism). “The redistribution of land is a fundamental part of dismantling South Africa’s apartheid state,” said the Post. They even acknowledge apartheid ended in 1994 (24 years ago!). The land grab is nothing more than attempting to appease black nationalism and to promote victimhood culture similar to Zimbabwe (where it failed catastrophically). This is acceptable because it is consistent with the Liberal Left’s oppressed/oppressor (aka Marxist) outlook. In reality
South Africa is a mismanaged, politically corrupt and extremely dangerous nation. Murders of white farmers are common, car hijackings and murders are the daily norm. This year, water trucks had to be used, such is the incompetence in infrastructure planning (of course blamed on the weather). South Africa will probably resemble Zimbabwe in less than ten years, foreign investment will end and the money will leave. Where will the refugees of this economic disaster head? You guessed it, Europe.
Now to Germany:
In this article the Daily Telegraph reports the German media’s state sponsored cover up of migrant Cologne sexual assaults. “Authorities have said there is no concrete indication that the perpetrators were asylum seekers who arrived in last year’s record influx…”
Angry Germans however knew the truth and began venting their anger on ‘Facebook’, so much so that Merkel demanded social media censor ‘hate speech’. Merkel introduced legislation to clamp down on social media, this article from FT shows what happened. The state clearly wants to withhold the truth, Merkel, being an ex-Communist (?) should be experienced with this.
To Sweden:
These articles from The Independent and Daily Express cover state media censorship in Sweden. Migrant attacks against women happen daily, yet Swedish left wing feminists, government and media remain silent.
Recently in a bizarre, almost Orwellian twist, a young Swedish liberal left feminist student intervened in a deportation of an Afghan national. Ironically, the man she defended was a wife and child beater – hardly a candidate for feminist support? I predict that Sweden as a nation will be gone in 20 years (I’m being rather generous here); the mindset almost reminds one of Rotherham; ‘Stockholm Syndrome’ anyone?
Now for some audience participation, and hopefully, prove a point on MSM political journalism.
This article is from the Daily Express in 2017. As we know David Cameron virtue signalled on Syrian refugees and promised to take 20,000 into the UK. I typed the following into Google: ‘Hasan Alkhabbaz’ & ‘BBC News’. Amazingly, I could find no BBC report on this outrage. I then tried Sky News, and again nope, nada, nothing. Our state broadcaster fails, along with Sky. Deliberate non-reporting? You decide. The Daily Express, The Sun, Daily Mail, Islington Gazette, even the PC Met Police reported it.
Please try this for yourself and do a search; if you do find a BBC or Sky link for this then please post it. I concede I couldn’t find one, congratulations if you do by the way.
I touched on Orwell earlier, and this finally leads me to his warning to us all quoted from ‘1984’. From what I see, this is happening today:
“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”
The answer is simple, we must fight to uphold and speak the truth, and never shy away from it.
The writing is truly on the wall. Much of this may have to do with the competing 24 hour news roundabout and the move away from reporting news to feverishly seeking to create news. Additionally, the influence of post moderism has crept into every orifice of the media industry.
Melanie Phillips tells of when she started work at The Guardian 25 years ago that the guiding principle of the paper’s editor C P Scott was that facts are sacred and opinion was free. But when she left two decades later the joke going round was that opinion (The Guardian’s of course) was sacred and facts were free.

Hello John,
Terrific article and I totally agree that real journalism has been replaced by propaganda and PR puff-pieces paid by advertisers or ‘groovy’ liberal PC drones whinging for welfare.
I have to disagree that London is LondGone.
Lived there all my life and I drive all over London most days.
Never seen an acid attack, never seen a mugging, never seen a stabbing and never seen moped gangs smashing windows in Sloane Street.
Yes it does happen but they are hyped up by the msm to install fear and keep us in our little boxes afraid of the dark.
“Fear is control” don’t forget.
Hi Bryan, and thanks.
My point on London was to draw comparisons with Detroit, USA and what happened there. The next census for London will be telling, I doubt there will ever be another Conservative mayor.
Essentially, Labour are copying the Democrats behaviour in the US, by politically farming a migrant vote. The more migrants, the more votes. This is to cement permanent power, and it works. The masses will vote for any candidate in a red rosette, in exchange for welfare.
Identity politics will eventually destroy London, we can see that already with the likes of Khan, Lammy, Abbott et al being elected. Look at Tower Hamlets as a prime example of corruption once that power base is achieved. The only change I would see is if the problems spread into the more affluent areas, and start to effect the Liberals directly.
Now I appreciate not all areas are effected currently, but eventually all areas will be effected over time. I know many Londoners in my own area who ‘got out’ and moved to the country. This has had an impact on house prices in Suffolk, Norfolk, Essex etc for example.
My question would be do you actually see London changing for the better in the next 10 years say? I honestly don’t, I see a Detroit 2.0, which is sad to say. I can’t see any way back for London now.
John
No one is forced to live in London and if the pace becomes too quick, off you go.
I may do the same thing in a decade or so.
If I do move to fresher air and away from the rat race I’ll accept that I’ve gone, not London.
As one person decides that London is too much for them and leaves, there will be younger more energetic country dwellers who can’t wait to take their place.
London isn’t “gone”, it’s evolving.
If it’s evolving too fast it is partly due to the “Londoners in your area” running away and opening up a space for new arrivals.
They’ve gone not London.
John Re your statement “Labour are copying the Democrats behaviour in the US, by politically farming a migrant vote. The more migrants, the more votes. This is to cement permanent power, and it works. The masses will vote for any candidate in a red rosette, in exchange for welfare.” The Democrats of America used to wait at the docksides as the immigrants got off the boats in America to ‘farm’ their vote! The Democrats became the party of the immigrant even to the cost of the wage compression of the blacks. Yes, just like Labour!
When America pulled up its drawbridge to uncontrolled immigration in the first decade of the 1900s low income workers particularly blacks saw their incomes rise and when they let the bridge down again in the 1960s Americas poor got poorer.
British low income Labour voters are voting for their own impoverishment.
I came across this quite a few years ago when Gordon Brown was PM, I think. I went to a UKIP demonstration outside Westminster, which was well attended. That was the day a group of students managed to climb on the roof of Westminster – how they got there with all the security is thought provoking but no mention was made anywhere about the UKIP demonstration, just about the students on the roof. Of course mentioning UKIP is to avoided at all costs anyway.
The answer to curtailing the mainstream media is not to read or view it. Until recently I bought the Daily Express on a daily basis. Not because it was a quality paper, because it isn’t, quite the opposite in fact. The reason I read it was because of its pro Brexit stance, but since the paper was taken over by the Daily Mirror group its editorial independence despite what is stated has been watered down and no longer represents my view. For a short while I went to the Daily Mail, until they described quite recently that Henry Bolton was still the leader of UKIP. Now I don’t read any newspaper whatsoever. My TV packed up two years ago and since then haven’t missed it at all. Why I am still paying the licence fee I know not, but I am probably because I have a laptop. So now I get my news from LBC, which on the whole is a good station, apart from when a certain presenter who hogs the airwaves after 1000 am each morning pushing his biased left wing agenda. That is one part of the day devoted to absolute quietness.
Been there done that too, Don’t even mention the so called ‘quality press’ and as for anything on the BBC/Radio or T.V along with Sly, a complete waste of time as John Locke reports.
Difficult now to find any objective reporting in the U.K media, a concern it seems that few of us have.
I find LBC’s news output similar to other radio stations in the Global group.
“Someone you’ve never heard of says Trump is…….add gossip or demonisation of their choosing”
“A politician we don’t like says…….inoffensive word pumped up by the terminally offended.”
“A man who lived next to a woman whose cousin worked with a traffic warden married to a member of UKIP, yes we said UKIP, UKIP, UKIP, UKIP, has murdered his wife”. Did you get that folks, UKIP and murder.
“Poor poor poor poor war torn refugees have been offered hope by Justin Welby, ex BP boss or artist selling new LP or book.
The same right-on virtue signalling that corporations and politicians love whether you’re tuned in to LBC, Heart or Smooth.
It’s the same on Kisstory, Talk Sport and every other station that lazily pumps out Establishment propaganda.
They are all in it together.
The Conservative Woman (with many male readers and commenters too) and Breitbart London online are both worth a read and both unaffected by this control and propaganda.
Like the BBC on its news website pushing the idea of a second referendum, yet again. Apparently Lineker the mouthpiece of the BBC thinks it a good idea. Since when did this particular idiot become an authority on the political direction of this country and whether we should be independent of the European Union, able to determine our own laws, able to control our borders and trade with whom we like, without imposed restrictions from Brussells. At best Lineker is a pretty pedestrian one dimensional TV presenter, whose only claim to fame is kicking a football around a pitch on a Saturday afternoon. Does this suddenly make him an expert on all things to do with politics. Time surely has arrived for us to be rid of the BBC and its overpaid talentless staff for good, and save ourselves a whole of dosh into the equation. The abolition of this politically correct mouthpiece of the liberal left should be near the very top of any future UKIP manifesto of policies. So many rational people in this country are saying the same thing, I cannot believe that it hasn’t been implemented by one of the other main parties, but then since have they done anything to the benefit. Not for a very long time is the answer
