<Has The Mainstream Media Finally Turned Against Bill Gates? (excerpts evidencing headline rhetorical question makes this something worth watching going forward) <...what's almost more notable than the details report by WSJ and the Daily Beast, is the fact that the MSM seems to be jumping on the story that Bill Gates' relationship with Jeffrey Epstein directly led to the dissolution of his marriage.> <This is a big deal because, as we reported more than a year ago, Bill Gates and the Gates Foundation have built up one of the world's most formidable media-manipulation machines to help silence Gates's growing chorus of critics.> <This is a big deal because, as we reported more than a year ago, Bill Gates and the Gates Foundation have built up one of the world's most formidable media-manipulation machines to help silence Gates's growing chorus of critics. Here's a snippet from a Columbia Journalism Review story on how Gates manipulates the press: Gates' generosity appears to have helped foster an increasingly friendly media environment for the worlds most visible charity. Twenty years ago, journalists scrutinized Bill Gates' initial foray into philanthropy as a vehicle to enrich his software company, or a PR exercise to salvage his battered reputation following Microsofts bruising antitrust battle with the Department of Justice. Today, the foundation is most often the subject of soft profiles and glowing editorials describing its good works. During the pandemic, news outlets have widely looked to Bill Gates as a public health expert on covid even though Gates has no medical training and is not a public official. Politi-Fact and USA Today (run by the Poynter Institute and Gannett, respectively both of which have received funds from the Gates Foundation) have even used their fact-checking platforms to defend Gates from false conspiracy theories and misinformation, like the idea that the foundation has financial investments in companies developing covid vaccines and therapies. In fact, the foundations website and most recent tax forms clearly show investments in such companies, including Gilead and Cure Vac. In the same way that the news media has given Gates an outsize voice in the pandemic, the foundation has long used its charitable giving to shape the public discourse on everything from global health to education to agriculture a level of influence that has landed Bill Gates on Forbes list of the most powerful people in the world. The Gates Foundation can point to important charitable accomplishments over the past two decades like helping drive down polio and putting new funds into fighting malaria but even these efforts have drawn expert detractors who say that Gates may actually be introducing harm, or distracting us from more important, lifesaving public health projects.> ***<With all this preamble once again coming out in the press, we can't help but wonder: is a Bill Gates accuser about to step forward?> zerohedge.com Not a big fan of ZH. But when they cite this many, easily verifiable, MSM sources? Add the increasingly significant push back we're seeing against the global gov. pro vax pressure? It's time to pay attention. Iso
