      Lol, noted Twitter troll and “political satirist” @MollyJongFast hosts a podcast alongside someone called @CIAspygirl (former CIA operative and “comedian”) plus longtime Clinton operative Philippe Reines. The modern media ecosystem is so laughably corrupt, it’s incrediblepic.twitter.com/jB4OUf3PUx

      Reines is a notoriously mendacious Clinton henchman, but by partnering with him on a podcast, Molly and “CIA spy girl” were granted the honor this week of “interviewing” none other than Hillary herself. Once again, the contemporary political media is a wildly corrupt joke

      The extent to which US media has been subordinated by security state officials is stunning. Podcasts, etc. provide additional avenues for this co-optation, so it's more pervasive than ever before. They assume quasi-journalistic authority and frame news events. Amazingly insidious

      Molly is either incapable or unwilling to acknowledge that she's part of the broad media effort to afford quasi-journalistic credibility to intelligence officials, enabling them to shape public opinion. You know, the thing the CIA has tried to do throughout its entire history

      Instead, Molly and her extremely cool friends just adopt the same old tedious pose of Extremely Online Funny posturing, which provides a cover to deny and/or ignore that they're actively facilitating a full-scale corruption of the contemporary media ecosystem. Very cool stuff!

      It's also hilarious that @MollyJongFast is a "contributor" to The Bulwark, Bill Kristol's new outfit founded in the aftermath of the Weekly Standard's tragic death. But she loves to play the guilt-by-association game with *me,* based on who she sees interacting with my *tweets*pic.twitter.com/3yJSIyAoGb

      A huge number of CIA/FBI/NSA officials have entered the media bloodstream since 2016, because publications/networks have promoted, valorized, and even *hired" them. The officials then marshal this exposure into huge social media platforms, enabling them to shape public opinion

      Because the current media ecosystem is so fractured and diffuse, these individuals end up being imbued with quasi-journalistic authority; the average reader/listener/viewer/follower generally cannot distinguish them from other media figures. That's why today is unlike past eras

          All you have to do is look at the improbable spins and angles they use...sadly the media was already so corrupt the average person cannot tell where the media ends and the cia bs spin starts. That’s all you need to know about the real modern media.

          Past economic models have more or less collapsed. Journalists have taken a major hit. Ways to get paid (or often, not get paid) have completely changed, no?

          When they aren’t hunting down struggling citizens for making jokes against their political leaders, the media elites are protecting and forming stories for the powerful. “Never question those in power, and use your platform to silence speech” - Current MSM platform

          I'm not so sure. If you've ever seen the Chomsky-Buckley debate, or seen the one on Nicaragua, read Turning the Tide, his 1st book about Vietnam, know anything about Israel-Palestine or have a basic understanding keynesianism, it's clear this has been just as deep for decades.

          And if you're aware of the Lippmann-Dewey debate, or the drafting of the US constitution, you know this is all by design. Always has been. It just looks like it's on steroids cause of the internets.
