Underneath Riots, Politicians and Party

I see two basic topics where the first topic (media bias) flows into the next (revolution).

CNN rode with ICE during raids in MAY 2016. 

This video is now going viral (video link follows).

As I watched this video, I thought for a second this was faked... 

Wha...? Where are all the rioters? 

Where are all the politicians condemning ICE? Wait... Where's all the protesters? Huh? How?

Then I remembered what year CNN did this piece.

US President in 2016?

The President in the year 2016 was Barack Obama.

He is a Democrat.

He took office on January 20, 2009 and was in office during May 2016.

(This isn’t about CNN or Fox News or selectively omitted details; it’s an attempt to look at the issue in a wider context rather than through a left–right lens.)

After watching the video, it became clear to me that the media is the tail that wags the dog.

“This proves the outrage is completely manufactured and the legacy media are nothing but political operatives,” another critic argued. “When their guy is in charge, deportations are ‘law and order’ worthy of exclusive, celebratory ride-alongs.”

“When a Republican does the exact same thing, it’s suddenly branded as ‘fascism.’ They don’t actually care about the migrants or the policy—they only care about weaponizing the narrative to protect their power. The hypocrisy isn’t an accident; it’s the entire business model,” the critic added.

The critic's argument is worth noting after relying on verifiable provable observation of CNN's partisan framing shift – the same institution (ICE) framed positively under a Democratic president and negatively today under a Republican one. Favorable tone for Democrats, unfavorable tone for Republicans. Then and now, CNN does a narrative realignment – ICE narrative from “law-enforcement partners” to “symbols of abuse.” ICE actions treated as legitimate in Democrat era, immoral in a Republican era.

In CNN’s coverage, ICE was portrayed as legitimate law enforcement under Obama, but vilified under Trump for largely the same core functions.

Media bias then. No protests then. Illegals out! Good.

Media bias today. Protests now. Illegals stay! Good.

Media bias works!

Allow me now to bridge the benefits of information bias with the goal of the overthrow of governments.

It's my opinion is that about half of the population realizes news outlets are no longer straight, neutral, fact-based reporting organizations but are simply biased and thus these folks filter and form their opinions accordingly.

Now if half of the populace don't trust the credibilty of news outlets, wouldn't it be diminishing returns for biased media to keep spending their time and money for just a smaller percentage of receptive audience? If true, why do they keep disseminating their politically biased doctrines? What's the payoff?

As I see it, if you apply media bias intelligently, it really doesn't take all that many people to start, maintain and grow a revolution.

Initially, if you can get enough fringe zombies, useful idiots or sycophant minions to believe in and act upon the non-stop interminable biased media narrative and follow the orders in the overthrow playbook delivered through the media, with a little help from your friends, large numbers of civilians could be influenced and mobilized through media narratives;

the odds are pretty good you'll eventually succeed overthrowing a government.

Some examples are CIA in Iran, Guatemala, Congo, Bay of Pigs (didn't end well), Syria. MI6/British Intelligence in Iran, and the other 42 coups.

DGSE in Central African Empire.

And last but not least, your favorite clandestine organization and mine, the KGB.

I say all this to build a base for my assessment.

I believe that the United States of America is right now, this very moment, in the midst of a color revolution and not the good kind of color revolution. These revolution attempts are formed by hostile governments opposed to our political system, politically engineered, administered by clandestine governmental organizations and rely on:

Professional activists and NGOs.

Messaging playbooks and protest training.

Foreign funding or diplomatic pressure.

Selective media concentration and amplification.

From this methodology, the revolution proceeds as slow but steadily building regime change rather than spontaneous violent uprisings.

It seems education of the next generations will be the antidote to the biased media poison that has spread throughout America... if the country stays intact.

Look up color revolutions yourself. Do your own homework. While you're at it, look up the Cloward-Piven strategy and see how it applies to the 20 million or so illegal aliens who crossed American borders.

Also Yuri Bezmenov was a Soviet defector who claimed the USSR focused on long-term ideological influence to weaken societies from within rather than overthrowing them by force. See what he has to say.
