Unmasking the Mainstream Media Bias Technology
The article below very clearly illustrates mainstream liberal media extremist BIAS technology. We will TRANSLATE it to NORMAL LANGUAGE by commenting in bold on the most controversial statements by the author. The goal is to expose and discredit the mainstream media. Below is the link to the entire dirty article but we will only focus on its most stinky parts.
Disinformation poses an unprecedented threat in 2024 — and the U.S. is less ready than ever
The U.S. presidential election comes at a time of ideal circumstances for disinformation and the people who spread it.
Disinformation poses an unprecedented threat to democracy in the United States in 2024, according to researchers, technologists and political scientists.
TRANSLATION: according to democrat propaganda “researchers “ and “scientists” harsh criticism of Biden administration policies by the opposition is “disinformation” and it poses a risk of losing power for democrats that are the only ones who represent “democracy”
As the presidential election approaches, experts warn that a convergence of events at home and abroad, on traditional and social media — and amid an environment of rising authoritarianism, deep distrust, and political and social unrest — makes the dangers from propaganda, falsehoods and conspiracy theories more dire than ever.
The U.S. presidential election comes during a historic year, with billions of people voting in other elections in more than 50 countries, including in Europe, India, Mexico and South Africa. And it comes at a time of ideal circumstances for disinformation and the people who spread it.
TRANSLATION
As the presidential election approaches, experts warn that democrats do not control the world yet and there are still free media not censored by democrats inside the U.S. and abroad, so millions of potential voters might still get access to information adverse to democrats (“disinformation”)
An increasing number of voters have proven susceptible to disinformation from former President Donald Trump and his allies; artificial intelligence technology is ubiquitous; social media companies have slashed efforts to rein in misinformation on their platforms; and attacks on the work and reputation of academics tracking disinformation have chilled research.
TRANSLATION
An increasing number of voters conspired with artificial intelligence and social media not controlled by Democrats to challenge Democrats and attack democrat agents trying to censor free speech
“On one hand, this should feel like January 2020,” said Claire Wardle, co-director of Brown University’s Information Futures Lab, who studies misinformation and elections, referring to the presidential contenders four years ago. “But after a pandemic, an insurrection, and a hardening of the belief that the election was stolen, as well as congressional investigations into those of us who work in this field, it feels utterly different.”
The threat disinformation poses falls on a spectrum. Research suggests it has little direct effect on voting choices, but spread by political elites, especially national candidates, it can impact how people make up their minds about issues. It can also provide false evidence for claims with conclusions that threaten democracy or national health when people are persuaded to take up arms against Congress, for example, or decline vaccination.
Solutions for the enormity of that threat are piecemeal and distant: the revival of local news, the creation of information literacy programs, and the passage of meaningful legislation around social media, among others.
“Repairing the information environment around the election involves more than just ‘tackling disinformation,’” Wardle said. “And the political violence and aftermath of Jan. 6 showed us what’s at stake.”
Primed for disinformation
The most likely Republican presidential nominee is also the former president — whose time in office was marked by lies told in a failed effort to remain there, falsehoods Trump continues to cling to. Disinformation in service of the lie that the election was “stolen” — disseminated through a network of television, radio, and online media — has proven staggeringly effective with Republicans. The toll from that belief extends to distrust in future elections.
TRANSLATION
Not everyone bought biased liberal media and establishment elites’ attempts to portray President Trump as a liar spreading falsehoods about democrat election fraud. Free media disgracefully dared to challenge the democrat narrative about the 2020 election being clean and therefore free TV, free radio, and free online media spread “disinformation”
On one hand, real consequences have come for spreaders of disinformation. Lies about COVID and the election have reportedly cost some prominent doctors and news anchors their jobs. Millions of dollars have been awarded in civil courts to victims of disinformation. Hundreds of federal criminal convictions have come from the Jan. 6, 2021, riot. And people who allegedly participated in a scheme to overturn President Joe Biden’s victory, including state GOP officials, lawyers, and Trump himself, face criminal charges.
TRANSLATION
On one hand, the totalitarian democrat swamp dictatorship succeeded in politically persecuting prominent doctors, news anchors, and American patriots who protested on January 6 plus the democrat establishment succeeded in abusing power over government agencies they control to file criminal charges against Trump allies and Trump himself
Whether networks like Fox News or individuals like Rudy Giuliani would be as eager to promote disinformation in 2024 in the face of such consequences remains to be seen. But some predictable players and newcomers in right-wing media have already signaled a willingness to contribute.
TRANSLATION
We are not sure if we intimidated Fox News and the likes of Rudy Giuliani enough to shut them up, but there are some nasty media we don’t control and new honest and brave challengers to our domination in the media that are interested in challenging us
Real stakes
It’s not only voters, but smaller loci of influence made up of state lawmakers, election officials, and poll workers moved by disinformation who stand to affect the upcoming election.
“Election denialism and the misinformation that comes from the far right was in clear view on the federal level” with the 2020 election, said Christina Baal-Owens, executive director of Public Wise, a nonpartisan voting rights organization that tracks local election administration officials who have questioned the legitimacy of the 2020 election. “What was less clear was a threat that was hiding in plain sight, a movement working on the local level.”
Public Wise has counted more than 200 people who attended, funded or organized the Jan. 6 attempted insurrection and won office in 2022. In Arizona alone, more than half of constituents are represented by state legislators who are professed election deniers.
TRANSLATION
Public Wise, the democrat voting rights organization calling itself a “non-partisan” to cover up its loyalty to Democrats warns that there are still heroes (“insurrectionists”) left that are willing to risk their wellbeing and challenge the upcoming potential election fraud by Democrats like they did in 2020.
“We’re looking at a well-organized movement that is working to affect elections across the country,” Baal-Owens said. “They have the ability to determine how people vote, how votes are counted, and whether or not they’re certified.”
TRANSLATION
There are still some organizations that we do not control that may challenge our election manipulation schemes in the 2024 elections

Content that uses synthetic media from self-described “meme teams,” who serve as volunteers, according to the Trump campaign, is already being shared by Trump on his social media platform, Truth Social. These memes malign other candidates and their spouses, attorneys and judges involved in prosecuting Trump, journalists, and state politicians and election officials deemed enemies of the Trump camp.
“Granted it’s hokey and not believable in any way, shape or form, but it’s only a matter of time until something works,” said Ben Decker, the chief executive of Memetica, a digital investigations company. “The disinformation narratives, the meme wars, they’re back. That content is going to overpopulate certain parts of the public square.”
The effect on the wider world is clear, Decker said: “Harassment of public officials, members of the media and civil society groups is going to run rampant.”
A potentially greater threat lies in generative AI tools’ ability to personalize misinformation, making it harder for social media platforms to moderate because it appears authentic, said Laura Edelson, an assistant professor at Northeastern University and co-leader of Cybersecurity for Democracy, who studies political misinformation.
TRANSLATION: if you see anything negative about Democrats, Biden, or election challenges, know that it’s all a product of deliberate “disinformation” by Trump and his allies because we, democrats are the only ones who are always telling the truth and never spread any disinformation; in fact WE ARE THE TRUTH.
“It’s going to be a lot harder this cycle as people are washing misinformation through generative AI tools,” Edelson said. “Misinformation will be more effective inside insular communities and harder to detect. Platforms need to be building new tools.”
Instead, Edelson and others say, platforms are cutting the teams tasked with moderation to the bone. Since 2021, the largest social media companies have reportedly deprioritized efforts to guard against viral falsehoods, tech critics said.
Elon Musk’s X has led the way as social media platforms including Meta and YouTube have retreated from enforcement and policy and slashed content moderators and trust and safety teams, said Rose Lang-Maso, campaign manager at Free Press, a digital civil rights organization.
TRANSLATION
Rather than following our orders to implement stricter censorship against opposition, social media platforms dared to allow more free speech! Especially evil is Elon Musk who challenged our monopoly over truth and refused to implement any censorship at all!
“Without policies in place that moderate for content and without enough content moderators to actually do the moderating, it makes it more possible for bad actors to increase abuse online and offline,” Lang-Maso said. “Platforms are really abdicating the responsibility to users.”
TRANSLATION
Without effective censorship, the opposition may be able to spread its message challenging our totalitarian control and that is worrisome!
Meta, YouTube, and X have denied reports that they are ill-prepared to prevent the spread of election disinformation.
“Content misleading voters on how to vote or encouraging interference in the democratic process is prohibited on YouTube,” YouTube spokesperson Ivy Choi said in a statement to NBC News. “We continue to heavily invest in the policies and systems that connect people to high-quality content, and our commitment to supporting the 2024 election is steadfast.”
A spokesperson for Meta declined to comment but shared a news release about the company’s plans for the 2024 elections.
TRANSLATION
At least YouTube and Meta assured the regime that they will use some censorship to help Biden but we are still not sure if this is going to be enough
Who’s watching?
The first challenge of combating disinformation in the 2024 cycle might be to identify it.
The social media space has become fragmented with the ascendancy of alternatives including Substack, Telegram, Threads, and Rumble as viable spaces for political actors and extreme content. And a pressure campaign by conservative activists may affect how many trained eyes are available to be on the lookout.
TRANSLATION
These conniving little conservative weasels became more resourceful after 2020 to dodge our censorship efforts
Republican politicians and activists responded to the wave of disinformation in 2020 by targeting the researchers, universities, tech companies and journalists who pointed it out. Using social media campaigns, the courts, and congressional committees, far-right critics have aired unfounded accusations that efforts to curtail disinformation around the election and the pandemic were part of a plot to censor conservatives. Some researchers said those partisan campaigns, which have included burdensome information requests and threats of reputational and legal harm to institutions, have had a chilling effect on new research going into 2024.
TRANSLATION
Because the opposition continued to expose the puppets of the regime in the scientific community and expose censors we used to suppress free speech in 2020 some of the censorship agents who got caught became nervous and unwilling to help us
Watchers are further challenged by the lack of transparency from social media companies. So-called black boxes surround the algorithms that serve up content, and the inability to see what is happening on the platforms in real-time has only gotten worse.
“We’re flying blind,” said Mike Caulfield, a research scientist at the University of Washington’s Center for an Informed Public who studies election rumors.
The delay in catching false narratives early is essentially giving disinformation a head start, Caulfield said and could mean a delay in fact-checking efforts and context from journalists.
Risks to national security, safety, and voting rights aside, the larger threat from the coming wave of disinformation might be in widened partisan divides and weakened public trust.
TRANSLATION
Free speech advocates got enough power with social media to prevent us from controlling all media content so now we are worried about losing power because of all these secretive tools that help free speech spread and hurt our regime
“The direct effect of disinformation might not be as high as we think it is,” said Joshua Tucker, co-director of New York University’s Center for Social Media and Politics, referring to voting preferences. “But the indirect effect is people losing confidence in journalism, losing confidence that there’s an objective truth out there, and believing that anything could be disinformation.”
TRANSLATION
But dear mainstream audience, don’t worry so much about all these threats – we are sure that despite the lack of control over all of the media and the population losing confidence in us, we have enough tricks up our sleeve and will come up with something during the next election to keep us in power.

Western society (and others who attempt to copy its modern trends) are on their way to extinction because western institutions are dominated by advocates of human parasites, and because western mainstream ideology is currently based on wealth redistribution that unsustainably caters to various groups of “professional victim – parasites.”
Funny how you portray the news. You lied to us since 2016 and contiune to do so.
We see thru this scheme, Biden administration is a check the box administration. Most of the leaders have no clue what they are doing.
