@DanPatterson @CBSNews ⚠️ 25 questions to ask yourself about Q – by @martingeddes
1. Do you agree that the MSM has synchronised messages and similar wording when reporting on QAnon? Does this appear to support or refute the #FakeNews hypothesis?
1. Do you agree that the MSM has synchronised messages and similar wording when reporting on QAnon? Does this appear to support or refute the #FakeNews hypothesis?
@DanPatterson @CBSNews @martingeddes 2. Do you agree there appears to be little to no diversity of editorial approaches and opinions on Q or POTUS? How do you make sense of this near unanimity across the MSM?
@DanPatterson @CBSNews @martingeddes 3. The MSM has not reported on the specific content of the Q drops, only referring to them indirectly. How do you account for this journalistic choice?
@DanPatterson @CBSNews @martingeddes 4. The MSM has not encouraged the public to examine the associated open source intelligence by QAnons (e.g. the daily “notables”). What does this say about their attitude to independent thought?
@DanPatterson @CBSNews @martingeddes 5. The MSM won’t discuss the validity of the evidence of a Q-Trump link (i.e. operational semantics that are a question of proof that would stand up in court). Why do you think this is not covered in detail?
@DanPatterson @CBSNews @martingeddes 6. The MSM doesn’t mention how Q tells you to reject any authority and to always research and think for yourself. How do you make sense of this in the context of the mass media’s authority and trustworthiness?
@DanPatterson @CBSNews @martingeddes 7. The MSM has failed to analyse ways in which Q drops have foreshadowed major events. Why do you think this might be?
@DanPatterson @CBSNews @martingeddes 8. The MSM rarely discusses psychological warfare, the art of deception, and the use of disinformation; and if it does, typically ends with a piece denigrating Q and/or POTUS. Which hypothesis does this appear to support?
@DanPatterson @CBSNews @martingeddes 9. The MSM offers only a binary “Q is all true” vs “Q is a larp” (i.e. a hoax), rather than focusing on the content of the Q drops. How does this relate to each of the two hypotheses?
@DanPatterson @CBSNews @martingeddes 10. The MSM won’t ask the “Q question” of POTUS, so that any association can be confirmed or refuted. Does this alone act as proof of the #FakeNews hypothesis, or not?
@DanPatterson @CBSNews @martingeddes 11. The MSM won’t even discuss the existence of this contentious “Q question”. What is your theory for this rather glaring omission, and whether they are presenting both sides of the issue fairly and faithfully?
@DanPatterson @CBSNews @martingeddes 12. The MSM hasn’t explored the extensive data supporting Q’s assertions of criminality (e.g. at the Clinton Foundation), even though there are ongoing DoJ probes (Huber, Durham, Horowitz). Why do you think this is?
@DanPatterson @CBSNews @martingeddes 13. The MSM hardly ever mentioned 4chan, 8chan, or 8kun before Q. What might be the significance of Q in making these a sudden focus of attention?
@DanPatterson @CBSNews @martingeddes 14. Those who reject the #FakeNews hypothesis in favour of #OrangeManBad typically reference MSM sources as evidence. Do you agree or disagree whether this is a form of circular argument?
@DanPatterson @CBSNews @martingeddes 15. Many dismiss the types of questions here on the basis that Q is a ridiculous conspiracy theory unworthy of discussion. Do you accept or reject this as another form of circular reasoning, appealing to your hypothesis as an axiom?
@DanPatterson @CBSNews @martingeddes 16. POTUS has not disassociated himself from Q. What political impact would the “exposure of Q” have on his political capital, and how do you account for his action in an #OrangeManBad scenario?
@DanPatterson @CBSNews @martingeddes 17. There has been little to no speculation on who Q is by the MSM. Why might this be, given the significant following of Q?
@DanPatterson @CBSNews @martingeddes 18. If Q has accum a lrg follow’g of citizens being led astray, it could be a foreign pwr waging psych’l warfare on the US. Why do you imagine there’s no MSM analysis of how greatest intel apparatus in the world can’t identify Q, especially if it’s an "individual in a basement"?
@DanPatterson @CBSNews @martingeddes 19. The MSM doesn’t give any prominence to the many well-known Q researchers in their articles. Why might this be?
@DanPatterson @CBSNews @martingeddes 20. If Q is “disproven”, why is there no analysis in the MSM of the propaganda techniques being used, and how Q exploits them?
@DanPatterson @CBSNews @martingeddes 21. If Q is a part of a “Cult of Trump”, why does the MSM not offer kindness and compassion to “Qultists”, and present a viable path to show them the way out of their delusion? What does this say about the MSM's values?
@DanPatterson @CBSNews @martingeddes 22. If Q is a “larp”, does this suggest that Q has been given false authority by believers? What does it say about our belief in authority in general, versus reasoning for ourselves? Could the same false authority be applied to the MSM?
@DanPatterson @CBSNews @martingeddes 23. Those who “come out” as seeing truth in the #FakeNews hypothesis are often ostracised or bullied into silence. What does this say about those who believe #OrangeManBad, and the MSM that forms their media landscape?
@DanPatterson @CBSNews @martingeddes 24. When reading through this list of questions, did it raise issues or concerns that you hadn’t considered before?
@DanPatterson @CBSNews @martingeddes 25. If so, why do you still believe the MSM? Aren’t they #FakeNews if they are withholding key questions, only presenting one side of a story, and telling you what to think?
