The Media Propaganda Industry: Allies of the Left and Democrat Party
Newspapers and news outlets have willingly become the the official ‘news’ arm of the Democrat Party

Pravda, a Russian newspaper called “Russia’s Purveyor of ‘Truth,'” was once the official propaganda news organization of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. The newspaper was an organ of the Central Committee of the CPSU between 1912 and 1991. As such, they had no choice but to report favorably on the Communist Party.
American newspapers and news outlets used to report on local, state and federal government in a watchdog capacity, in an attempt to keep government transparent and public and elected officials honest. However, those days are gone. They’ve become an American Pravda of sorts.
Unlike Pravda, which had no choice but to be the official newspaper to the Communist Party, American newspapers and news outlets have willingly become the the official propaganda arm of the Democrat Party and the left. The mainstream media has stopped reporting and is now willingly advocating for the left. And no one in government made them do this.
The Democrat Party and its allies in the propaganda news industry aren’t just content with favorably presenting Democrats, we have witnessed them for the last three years in particular, work overtime to destroy Republicans, Conservatives, Libertarians, Independents, Moderate Democrats, and the Republican President. And they do this by falsifying articles, ignoring data, and by colluding with the deep, covert government class and party operatives.
Some in alternative media say the mainstream press is no longer just the Democrat Party’s lapdogs – that it is running the show. This isn’t difficult to believe after watching the mainstream press fear monger and spread hysteria during the COVID-19 pandemic. But now, they are willingly and openly supportive of Antifa and Black Lives Matter, and helping to gin-up the riots in cities across America. The riots, the Seattle takeover, and “defund the police” would never have taken off without the cheerleading media.
California media actively and willingly participates in the propaganda news industry. Many fed up former subscribers to the Sacramento, Fresno and Modesto Bee newspapers, the Los Angeles Times, the San Francisco Chronicle, and the San Diego Union Tribune can attest to this. Most local television news in the state has become infotainment.
During President Barack Obama’s administration, those who dared any opposition to his policies were called racists and obstructionists. Yet supporters of President Donald Trump are “fascists” and “racists.”
Former CBS News correspondent Lara Logan says the media is now an organized propaganda machine that pretends to practice actual journalism. “Logan also said some members of the media have been deceived while others are openly rooting for political parties and partisan agendas,” the Daily Caller reported. “They’re being manipulated. They’re being deceived. Some of them are willing, some of them are political operatives themselves. What I think is a mistake to look at this as just human failing,” Logan said.
Stories the Media Advocated for or Got Wrong
- Greta Thunberg, the 16-year-old climate activist who will save the world from climate change.
- Media stands up for Antifa over and over, while Antifa thugs destroy cities.
- Nick Sandmann, the Covington Catholic high school student visiting the U.S. Capitol: Incomplete news videos portrayed Sandmann’s encounter with activist Nathan Phillips and prompted widespread accusations throughout the media that Sandmann was a racist who had approached Phillips and mocked him. Sandman sued CNN for the media smear. CNN quietly settled the multimillion-dollar defamation lawsuit.
- The media continues to ignore the weekly black on black crimes and brutal murders in America’s biggest and most violent cities: Chicago, New York, Detroit, Los Angeles, Oakland, Baltimore. Ongoing reports and data show that 93 percent of black homicide victims are killed by other blacks.
- The latest big lie: “COVID-19 is spiking.” News outlets say states are reporting weekly increases in the spread of the coronavirus.
“New cases of COVID-19 nearly doubled in Alabama and South Carolina in the second week of June compared to the prior seven days, a Reuters analysis found.”
What is spiking is the amount of testing being done. These “cases” are merely positive test results, not hospitalizations. Most who test positive didn’t show any symptoms, and are sent home.
The real motive is President Donald Trump’s upcoming Oklahoma rally: “In Oklahoma, where President Donald Trump plans to hold an indoor campaign rally on Saturday, new cases rose 68% to 1,081 in the second week of June, while the positive test rate increased to 4%, from 2% the previous week,” Reuters reported gleefully.
Yet just this week, Dr. James Enstrom, Ph.D., M.S. in Public Health, a retired research professor of epidemiology at the University of California at Los Angeles, wrote an article for the Daily Signal pointing out the reopening of California is justified by the much lower total of COVID-19 deaths.
While whatever the leftist cause du jour, the mainstream media will be there to advocate for and promote, buyers and voters are wary and savvy.

Good Morning California!
Katy and the California Staff, for all the reasons and facts you stated here is the reason why I turn to this publication every day. Thank you for the journalistic standards you uphold.
We now have the Alphabet monopolist, GOOGLE influencing the content on media sites. They are strong arming sites such as The Federalist with demonetizing the news site by pulling adverting dollars that Google controls. Many sites now request a membership for access to many reports, The Town Hall and Daily Caller are now doing this.
Another tenant of marxism is to control the dialogue. Tell a lie enough times and the general public will take it as truth!
Another fabricated recent story is coming out of Capital Hall Seattle. ABC news reported it was just a big street party. The Mayor Jenny Durkan stated, they are are just young people having fun , they are my son’s age! Never mind beating down a street preacher, mob patrols with rifles, rampant drug dealing and use. It’s just another day in Seattle!
CANT’T STATE IT ENOUGH, THANK YOU CALIFORNIA GLOBE
I saw with my own eyes local reporters I knew from various public meetings, the ones who would write shamelessly false pro-Dem articles in the local paper, turn up later in cushy jobs as aides to the same Dem politicians they had promoted. So much for objectivity, and this was many years ago — the rot has definitely grown since then.
I also witnessed many reporters move from the Capitol Press Corps into well-paid positions as aids, spokespersons, and PIOs for lawmakers and state agencies. In California’s Capitol, I researched and counted more than 40 former news reporters, television reporters and radio newscasters who work inside the state Capitol or for a state agency back in 2013. Today it’s a much larger number.

Wow, it’s obviously worse than I thought. 40(!) former CA reporters switched over to government employment, and that was in 2013.
Seems worthwhile to repeat and highlight here the list of journalistic ethics from your 2013 article:
The Society of Professional Journalists Code of Ethics specifically says:
“Journalists should be free of obligation to any interest other than the public’s right to know.
“Journalists should:
“* Avoid conflicts of interest, real or perceived.
“* Remain free of associations and activities that may compromise integrity or damage credibility.
“* Refuse gifts, favors, fees, free travel and special treatment, and shun secondary employment, political involvement, public office and service in community organizations if they compromise journalistic integrity.
“* Disclose unavoidable conflicts.
“* Be vigilant and courageous about holding those with power accountable.”
I can specifically remember how, over time, a charge of “conflict of interest,” which once had an effect on politicians and journalists (and a concerned public), gradually failed to resonate. Now it’s not only been normalized, but it’s become increasingly rare to find anyone in those positions of responsibility who would even agree that it’s damaging and wrong. As you well know… 🙂
Very good, now do the Right who do the same thing..
In October I started switching my radio or tv from Fox to CNN to Al Jazeera.
Comedy every day!
If the media did not have double standards they would have no standards at all.
