Sky News host Cory Bernardi says “make no mistake”, the mainstream media is “deliberately engaging in propaganda” to change the way you think about politics, COVID-19, and climate change. Mr Bernardi said slowly, most news and media outlets have “dumped the news” in favour of “pop culture reporting”, but some have sunk as low as “actually deceiving their viewers”. “We saw as much earlier this week on their ABC. A legitimate story about how the navy – unwisely in my opinion – had dancing girls at the launch of their new ship, became a propaganda piece when the aired footage suggested the Governor-General was observing the twerking young women,” he said. “But what’s been exposed at the Cable News Network [CNN] is even worse. An undercover reporter from Project Veritas has captured video footage of CNN directors boasting of manipulating the news to change the world.” Mr Bernardi said CNN only ran its COVID-19 “death clock” on screen while Donald Trump was president, and then was removed when Joe Biden became president. “The operatives openly admit the network’s main task was to bring down Donald Trump. But damaging a president wasn’t enough. They also needed to prop up the flailing and ailing Joe Biden, who was mostly calling an early-lid on the campaign from his basement,” he said. “They admit that reporters tell their interviewees what to say and the only people who CNN put to air are those with a proven track record of ‘taking the bait’. “According to CNN, there is an art to manipulating the public. That means there is an art to manipulating you… because they want to change the world in their image.”
