Try your best to stay off the propaganda, kids
It really is the "your out out butt" that makes it
Speaking of our national & international versions of #SpotThePropaganda - if we really are concerned about our own personal votes being suppressed in the midterms (and not just in theory, since TX is revving up their active voter suppression along with primary season) --
we will probs need to pay more attention (I know) to what "even" the MSM (as they continue to pose as our primary source of information) is NOT saying.
MSNBC's Chris Jansing & Steve Kornacki "reported" yesterday on an NYT headline trumpeting that 300,000 more Republicans than Democrats showed up to vote in the TX primaries this past Tuesday when they were held.
However, what 100% of those "news" sources failed to discuss was that
1) in more than one country (Harris and Tarrant being particularly egregious examples), registered Republicans were permitted to vote and registered Democrats were turned away, citing something to do with availability of election officials (a vagary of TX electoral politics I hoped I was no longer forced to understand, but oh well), and
2) all the anomalies, problems, and challenges that voters ran into were all oft-predicted results of the deliberately disastrous mishmash of a voter suppression law the TX GOP legislature ended up passing - TX Tribune has the story, with, again, national media mentioning none of that
(did we ever find out why that teeny-weeny minority of TX Dems eventually caved after holding the line so long when their fellow TX Democrats who tried so hard to stall that disaster continued to hold out? That's right up there to me with "who paid off Brett Kavanaugh's debts" in terms of unanswered questions contributing to the arc-slide of kleptocratic corruption in US government)
If none of that is sufficiently convincing that “what's absent matters” then here's another example, from our friends (lol) at RT, longtime world-class pros at this kind of omission
I don't think that means those thermobaric bombs are just now no longer organ-destroying so they stopped reporting on them, yk?
Let's all try our best to ask more questions of our “reliable” sources, how about it
