I shall quote CS Lewis
“You remember how one of the Greek Dictators (they called them “tyrants” then) sent an envoy to another Dictator to ask his advice about the principles of government. The second Dictator led the envoy into a field of grain, and there he snicked off with his cane the top of every stalk that rose an inch or so above the general level. The moral was plain. Allow no preeminence among your subjects. Let no man live who is wiser or better or more famous or even handsomer than the mass. Cut them all down to a level: all slaves, all ciphers, all nobodies. All equals. Thus Tyrants could practice, in a sense, “democracy.” But now “democracy” can do the same work without any tyranny other than her own. No one need now go through the field with a cane. The little stalks will now of themselves bite the tops off the big ones. The big ones are beginning to bite off their own in their desire to Be Like Stalks.”

I think I should add a note to this piece of writing. It threw me for a while. I’m just a stupid science major. But CS Lewis’ “Screwtape Proposes a Toast” gives real insight in to our current society
“Screwtape Proposes a Toast” is a follow-up to his very popular Screwtape Letters. It is among the most creative pieces of fiction in the last century.
Screwtape is a demon who schemes to bring more souls into Hell. But Screwtape’s plans often backfire, particularly when intended victims realize someone is playing on their weaknesses. Once they recognize temptation, they find it easier to resist.
Often frustrated, Screwtape responds to defeat with new strategems and an eager pursuit after another sou

So is your question whether the story is fake news?
according to Tracy Beanz, it is in fact a long process and this is the officer she talked to about her march next week.
The guy who posted this…yig..something…also said WaPo followed up by showing a Parks application that has a more recent date, meant, of course, to “debunk” this story.
But apparently you need more than one application, so the Parks one that WaPo posted is probably real, and the MPD one which is also needed is presumably real too. Of course WaPo wouldn’t ever bother to share that two apps are needed, because: fake news.

No, this is a setup, the Time Magazine demo is never going to be COO of anything, as evidenced by the fact that they read Time Magazine. Much more importantly, they are not raising daughters who are going to be COO of anything. So why is this here?
The first level breakdown is that this is what Time readers want, they want a warm glow and to be reassured that the reason they’re stuck living in Central Time is sexism. This demo likes to see a smart, pretty woman succeed in a man’s world, as long as “pretty” isn’t too pretty but “wearing a great outfit” and that man’s world isn’t overly manly, like IBM or General Dynamics, yawn, but an aspirational, Aeron chair “creative” place that doesn’t involve calculus or yelling, somewhere they suspect they could have worked had it not been for sexism and biological clocks.

These are all local TV stations owned and/or affiliated with Sinclair Broadcasting (symbol SBGI). Sinclair is controlled by a guy named David Smith in Baltimore who is a hard right conservative Trump supporter. Smith requires that occasionally his on-air talent (read employees) read a script written by a corporate producer. Understand that virtually every word ever said by any of your local news anchors was written and scripted by an anonymous producer in the local newsroom. Sorry, but no matter that you believe you have developed a fake connection with the 6 o’clock female anchor or the morning show weatherman, it’s all a script and the on-air talent are just acting.
This video seems shocking because it shows 20 or so different news people saying the same words but that’s how a script works. It is no more ominous that a single talent, say Rachel Maddow or David Muir reading a script to the whole country at once rather than 20 actors reading the same words to the country but just one market at a time. Not mind control. Just conservatives trying to counter-balance some of the ubiquitous left-wing propaganda.

“What happened to TRUMP’S company, Cambridge Analytica, somehow gathering data and doing some kind of scurrilous targeting of people to win the election?”
That story line disappeared really quickly, once they figured out it would paint the Dems far worse than Trump.
What happened to “Trump wants to start a war with North Korea?” Well?? If we were carelessly, hopelessly careening to war with NK, would it not still be in the news?
The Facebook Ad Bot story: it was insinuated that this is how Trump got Russia to swing the election for us. <–Again, I told my wife: once they dig into this, they will find out it was 90% Dems doing this fake ad-bot thing. Well, that story disappeared pretty quickly.
And no one is following up, saying, "Hey, didn't all of the MSM experts and reporters just say, a month ago, that we were on the brink of disaster due to Trump, or that y'all had finally found a genuine scandal on Trump to report? What happened to that story?!"
They throw out a rumor of an unsubstantiated fear, then simply move on to the next.
On Facebook, we watch our friends and family get strung along. They genuinely believe every day is some new terrible transgression of Constitutional Governance by Trump. If you ask for a specific, they scatter-shot the next accusation.
I trolled some friends by facebook-posting something about Dems and Facebook contacts. THey said, "why didn't you say anything about Republicans doing that?" I responded that there was no need for me to, since A.

I was just thinking about this topic this morning. Most people do not have the time to research things individually. Or even if they do, they don’t know where to turn.
We need a concise document that describes and summarizes the lies of the mainstream media as it pertains to the FBI DOJ Trump Russia issue. Something that we can distribute via email, post on Facebook, text, or, whatever medium each prefers.
We need to do our part to raise the awareness of a wider audience. So that when the events we expect unfold, more people will understand and accept the 180° turn from what they’ve heard or read for months. Prepping them first will achieve the maximum mileage in exposing the bias and ulterior motives of the MSM.
Something like one of Sundance’s summaries or videos that is dumbed down a bit into easy to digest bullet points.
To cover these general themes:
1) MSM has been lying to you.
2) Here’s what really happened and here are the players.
3) Here is what will likely happen next.
4) Consider your news sources’ motives next time you read or view a story. Insist on facts. Learn to differentiate them from insinuation and innuendo.
