The horrific war in Ukraine wages on.

And the corporate-controlled press continues to lie about what’s happening.

And now CNN has been caught red-handed in the middle of a shameless propaganda tactic.

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s illegal invasion of Ukraine has led to hundreds of thousands of deaths, hundreds of billions spent, and massive worldwide disruption.

But Joe Biden and the foreign policy establishment have recklessly prolonged the war instead of looking for an off-ramp.

There was one report that Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had reached a peace agreement, but former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, on behalf of NATO, pressured Zelenskyy to nix the deal.

The Military Industrial Complex wants another endless war, not a quick end, even though the strategic goal of crippling Russia’s army has already been established.

And the corporate-controlled press is doing its part to prolong the fight with shameless war propaganda.

Instead of reporting on the reality that Ukraine is severely outmanned and is almost entirely reliant on Western funding and soft NATO support, the so-called mainstream media are presenting the fake narrative that the Russians are on the brink of losing outright.

The latest example came from CNN, which had an entire arc on the significance of the Ukrainian city of Bakhmut.

On October 20, 2022, CNN reported that the “significance of the city cannot be overstressed.”

But on March 2, 2023, CNN reported that “Bakhmut’s strategic importance should not be overstated.”

Then on March 26, 2023, CNN reiterated that Bakhmut offered “limited strategic value.”

Finally, on May 20th, 2023, after the Russians had taken the city, CNN reported that Bakhmut’s “symbolism always outweighed its strategic importance.”

This type of absurd war propaganda is not helping Ukrainians, which are dying by the tens of thousands when a peace agreement could be reached.

The neocons would love regime change in Moscow, but they would settle for a protracted conflict that drags on for years.

And the so-called mainstream media are happy to oblige with helping along either.

The one time Biden got clocked really hard by the press was when he pulled out of Afghanistan.

Biden botched the withdrawal, but the fact that he agreed to pull out at all had the media up in arms.

Presidents are not allowed to end wars.

If Biden runs on an endless war in 2024, he will lose.

The American people have lost their appetite.

CNN positioned itself as the Orange Man Bad network.

Then the cable news outlet invited Donald Trump onto the air.

Now CNN is in a world of hurt after airing Trump’s town hall.

Donald Trump gave CNN its best ratings in a long time when he appeared on the network for a town hall hosted by Kaitlan Collins.

CNN easily won the night with 3 million viewers, a rare victory for the network in the primetime slot.

However, the network is experiencing fallout since Trump’s appearance on the network.

CNN has long been mired in third place in the cable news ratings behind Fox News and MSNBC, and they’re trending in the wrong direction.

The week prior to Trump, CNN averaged 494,000 primetime viewers; after Trump, viewership fell to 400,000.

That represents a 23.5% drop in ratings, a huge blow for a network that is already a distant third place.

The likely reason for the sharp drop-off is that CNN conditioned its viewers to hate Trump and disdain anyone who gives him a platform, so it’s no surprise CNN’s well-trained viewers did what they were told.

It also can’t have helped that CNN personalities trashed the network from inside the house.

After the town hall, Anderson Cooper said on his show,  “Many of you have expressed deep anger and disappointment. Many of you are upset that someone who attempted to destroy our democracy was invited to sit on a stage in front of a crowd of Republican voters to answer questions, and predictably, continued to spew lie after lie after lie…I get it. It was disturbing. It was disturbing to see and hear that person refer to a black law enforcement officer as a thug, an adjective he used many times to describe black men and called Kaitlan Collins, the moderator nasty, which is what he calls any woman who stands up to him…You have every right to be outraged today and angry and never watch this network again.”

Oliver Darcy had such an emotional response to Trump’s town hall that he was reportedly called into president Chris Licht’s office and read the riot act.

As for Collins, she was announced as the permanent replacement for Chris Cuomo in primetime despite her lackluster performance as town hall moderator.

CNN likely knows they’ll get those anti-Trump viewers back the closer he gets to winning the GOP primaries, as the Left grows more rabid heading into 2024.

Billionaire George Soros is a master when it comes to leveraging his massive wealth to influence politics. 

But one almost too good to be true opportunity landed in the left-wing billionaire’s lap. 

And Soros’ blood pressure just shot up over this bankruptcy.

Leftist billionaire George Soros has mastered the art of tucking a little of his fortune in all kinds of places to get the political outcomes he wants.

Projecting the influence he wants on the world is about to become a whole lot easier. 

Powerhouse left-wing news source Vice Media has just declared bankruptcy, and the purpose—according to legal filings—is to facilitate the company’s sale. 

Reporting on itself, Vice published an article noting that the company filed for bankruptcy on Monday—a move that will likely conclude with Fortress Investment Group and Soros Fund Management picking it up for a bargain at $255 million. 

That’s a stunning conclusion for the media company that was once valued at $5.7 billion. 

The company has already been forced to shut down its flagship news program—VICE World News—and layoff 100 employees. 

Vice’s fall comes shortly after word came out that MTV News is shutting down operations. 

Analyzing the situation, hosts of YouTube’s Breaking Points channel pointed out that Vice has quickly drifted from its roots as a maverick channel willing to cover stories in an intense way like its famous forays into North Korea and ISIS ride along. 

“They went down a more typical left liberal identity type of track as a much less unique and I think much less provocative, risk taking,” host Krystal Ball pointed out. 

“It’s also part of this broader shift that we’re seeing where all of these outlets that were giants in the 2010s—it’s over,” she added. 

Other left-leaning news outlets that have gone out of business include BuzzFeed News—which was shuttered entirely—and Gawker, which has also gone bankrupt. 

Meanwhile, even CNN—the network that pioneered the 24/7 news cycle—is flirting with disaster as ratings continue to drop lower and lower.   

Soros’ advantageous takeover of Vice Media has been in the making for years. 

Back in 2019, the company attempted to make a rebound by taking on $250 million in debt funded in part by Soros. 

While Vice is struggling, the company still has a million subscribers on YouTube alone and gets about 25 million views a month. 

That’s a massive portion of the population Soros can reach with his leftist agenda.
