How to be a millionaire media pundit:
- Never have any idea what the f*ck you are talking about.
- Be consistently wrong about everything.
- Never admit when you've been proven wrong.
- Only tell the truth when it serves power.
- Never feature leftist or anti-imperialist guests.
-

The credibility of US government agencies was so damaged by Iraq that all interventionist agendas since have relied on consent manufacturing from much more diverse sources; foreign governments, "independent" NGOs, "independent" narrative management firms like Bellingcat, etc.
-
At this point the labels "Russian bot," "CCP propagandist," "Assadist," "conspiracy theorist," "tankie" and "genocide/atrocity denier" all mean the same thing: "This person is disputing key imperialist narratives and the narrative management team would like you to ignore them."
-
If you think the anti-China hysteria is bad now, wait till the propaganda campaign really gets going. It hasn't even started yet. It's going to get so much worse.
-
Condemning anti-Asian hate without condemning anti-China imperialist propaganda is supporting anti-Asian hate.
-
It sure was nice of China to start doing a bunch of evil things right when the US empire began ramping up its escalations against Beijing to prevent the upending of the unipolar world order.
-
Right wingers freaking out about China live in such tightly insulated echo chambers that most of them don't even realize they're parroting the CNN/Biden line.
