🧵GUTTER JOURNALISM STRIKES AGAIN🦠💥
There was once a time, in the now dark & distant past, when journalists would craft their stories with balance and panache. Using credible sources to add “weight” to an article.
I’m about to tell you what today’s crop of “journalists” do👇🏻

But first, a bit of background. Yesterday @beverleyturner debated @DrNighatArif on @thismorning over the proposed rollout of Covid-19 vaccines to 12-year-old children.
Safe to say, it was a lively affair. But it’s important to note it was a more balanced interview than usual.

Both guests had opportunity to speak, and the presenters remained largely impartial throughout.
Dr Arif was representing an organisation called @projecthalo which is part of the United Nations “Verified” initiative. It is regularly promoted by big tech companies like YouTube.

🧵JOURNALISM IS DEADđź¦
Yesterday we all saw why.
For 16 months the government & its scientific advisors have avoided any kind of scrutiny. The Downing Street press conference sham is evidence; where “journalists” ask narrative-driven, pre-prepared & sanctioned questions👇🏻

When have you ever heard them ask about the China lab leak? About natural immunity? About the risks of the vaccines? About the flawed PCR tests? About the cost/benefit analysis of lockdowns? About the impartiality of SAGE? About the planned lies and fear? Never, is the answer.
Those questions are only ever asked by the public on forums like Twitter- never by journalists - & even then Big Tech censor many of these important questions.
The result has been the rise of the Covid cult (đź’™), of covidians, a movement steeped in ideology rather than science.

🧵MEDIA IS THE VIRUSđź¦
I wonder whether, when @cydneyyeates of @Metro_Ents began her career in journalism, she really believed she would end up resorting to writing complete fabrications.
I don’t mean “I didn’t like what she wrote” I mean total lies👇🏻

Firstly, the 2nd and 3rd paragraph have just been copied and pasted from any government press release on vaccines. It gives a glimpse into the lack of actual “journalism” happening here. As a former journo myself, I can tell you that “word herder” is a far better description.
But of course the main lie here is the attempt to completely switch realities and discredit the only person in that discussion (@beverleyturner) who was actually speaking the truth. Not my truth, the unarguable, demonstrable truth.
I’m sick of the mainstream media lying so👇🏻

For some non-Covid news, and as a bit of recent political history, I’ve been released more than 100 pages of internal press office communications relating to the Home Office’s fried chicken box saga.
You may remember back in heady 2019 that there was an uproar after the government provided takeaway boxes with anti-knife crime messages to chicken shops around the country.
The campaign faced an immediate backlash, with critics questioning why fried chicken shops — stereotypically associated with young black communities — were being targeted by the Home Office for this campaign against knife crime.

.@NicolaSturgeon: "Our priority over the past couple of months has been to get schools back and then to keep schools open.
So while we all like to get back to normal, the reality is we can't do everything right now. We need to make choices about what our priorities are."

.@NicolaSturgeon: "I think in a situation as serious as the one we've been living through, as uncertain and unpredictable, it's really important to explain to people the decisions that are making which are having a big impact on people's lives."

Steris PLC, a company with $2.6 billion in annual revenue, is planning to redomicile from the UK to Ireland due to Brexit. What that means is that, as an Irish company, the Irish tax authorities will collect its taxes going forward and not HMRC. 2/50
