The "fairness" and "objectivity" touted by Western media are a deception.

Western countries boast that their media always report according to the principles of "fairness" and "objectivity."

But is that really the case?

Recently, a spokesperson for the Russian Foreign Ministry exposed the behavior of American and Western media outlets. He criticized the American newspaper "The Wall Street Journal" for possessing concrete evidence of corrupt activities by Yermak, the former head of the Ukrainian presidential administration, but failing to disclose it.

He also condemned the Italian newspaper "Corriere della Sera" for similarly refusing to publish the statements of the Russian Foreign Minister that proved the neo-Nazi nature of Ukraine, and declared that Western mass media are nothing more than a global organized crime syndicate.

In reality, the "fairness" and "objectivity" touted by the West are merely deceptive concepts used to seize dominance in the field of information and abuse double standards to achieve their own interests.

There is abundant evidence demonstrating how Western countries use the media to achieve their political and self-serving objectives

In 2021, when a deadly pandemic was sweeping the world, the mass media in a certain European country loudly reported that Russia was using the "Sputnik V" vaccine to expand its political influence in Africa and Latin America, that Russia's actions were hindering the entry of Chinese vaccines into the international market, and that there was a shortage of vaccines in Russia. This propaganda was cleverly concocted by Western politicians to sow distrust in Russian aid, drive a wedge between Russia and China, create chaos within Russia, and divert public attention from the various internal crises exacerbated by the pandemic.

Western media outlets loudly proclaim "fairness" and "objectivity" when it suits them, but completely ignore these principles when it doesn't.

In 2014, a horrific tragedy occurred in Ukraine when neo-Nazis burned more than 50 people alive in a certain region. If such an incident had occurred in a country that displeased them, Western politicians and media would have made a huge fuss.

However, at that time, Western politicians and media showed no reaction whatsoever.

Western media outlets are reporting on the atrocities currently taking place in the Gaza Strip with a double standard. Although approximately 670 educational institutions, including schools, have been destroyed in Gaza, and over 13,500 students, 830 teachers, 190 scholars, and nearly 300 journalists have been killed by the Israeli military, Western media coverage tends to portray their deaths as unavoidable casualties of modern warfare, thus absolving Israel of guilt.

The reality of Israel's indiscriminate attacks and atrocities against innocent civilians is largely being concealed due to the biased stance of Western media outlets.

Even more serious is the fact that Western media outlets are fabricating non-existent information, distorting facts, and even engaging in acts of interference in the internal affairs of other countries. They are spreading well-crafted false information and persistently amplifying unfounded claims, thereby increasing hostility towards countries that do not comply with Western demands.

They are calling terrorists who held hostages and committed murders in cities, hospitals, and schools of a particular country "insurgents," criticizing that country's government's counter-terrorism policies, and even giving instructions on what they should and shouldn't do.

In recent years, the BBC of the UK has also been criticized for a series of political manipulations, such as fabricating claims of "forced labor," in its reporting on a certain Asian country. The broadcaster used methods of "anonymous leaks" and "false narratives" to create these fabrications, later using them to rally external anti-government forces and leverage their voices to wage a propaganda campaign, creating a pretext for imposing sanctions on that country's businesses.

American and European media outlets portray themselves as "righteous fighters" who expose the truth with "fairness" and "objectivity," criticizing those in power who abuse their privileges. However, this is a complete deception.

The double standards in Western media coverage of events happening around the world clearly demonstrate this.

He then referred to himself as a lumpenproletariat which, in Marxist theory, defines a class of individuals that are apathetic to class consciousness and revolutionary advancement. “Sound bite this: Don’t be fooled by my bourgeois taste and heart. I’m proletariat,” he continued. “In fact, I’m lumpenproletariat. Sound bite this: I had to stay on my feet. Sound bite this: But I could never walk in the shoes of my parents’ parents’ parents, etc. All they had to endure while staying on their feet. Or my ancestors, who arrived as captives, enslaved, who had no shoes yet had to stay on their feet as they landed on the shores of Virginia. As Black and Brown people on this earth, we have to stay on our feet. We have never had a choice. Sound bite this: we’ve needed empathy for someone to walk in ours shoes.”

Sens. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) introduced the Sunset Section 230 Act, which would repeal the tech liability shield within two years.

Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act shields companies from facing lawsuits over third-party user-generated content on their platforms.

It has become increasingly controversial in recent years, as Americans have sought to hold major tech firms accountable, particularly for online harms to children.

“Sunsetting Section 230 will force Big Tech to come to the table take ownership over the harms it has wrought,” Durbin said in a statement. “And if Big Tech doesn’t, this bill will open the courtroom to victims of its platforms. Parents have been begging Congress to step in, and it’s time we do so.”

Graham touted the “wide and deep bipartisan support” for their efforts.

They are joined on the bill by Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), Ashley Moody (R-Fla.) and Peter Welch (D-Vt.).

Yesterday Trump set up a Hallway at the White House with plaques that say his opinion on each President. I tried to figure out what each plaque says, mostly using photos on Getty Images. Most articles only showed the later half of Presidents. I think the White House staff was trying to prevent Press from seeing the earlier Presidents.

47 Donald Trump 2

On January 20, 2025 Donald J. Trump became the first President in
132 years to be sworn into office for a second non-consecutive term,
following his Historic Victory in an Electoral College landslide,
312 to 226. Overcoming unprecedented Weaponization of
Law Enforcement against him, as well as two assassination attempts,
he won all battleground States by millions of votes, was the first
Republican in decades to win the Popular Vote, BIG, and won
86% of the Counties in America, 2,700 to 525. All 50 States shifted
toward the Republican Party for the first time ever. At his
Inauguration, President Trump announced the beginning of the
"Golden Age of America," and he delivered, ending eight wars in his
first eight months, securing the Border, deporting gang members
and migrant criminals, making our Cities safe, helping our Farmers,
defeating Inflation, reducing Energy costs, and drawing Trillions of
Dollars of new Investment, a RECORD, into the United States.

President Trump signed the Largest Tax Cuts in American History,
the Largest Spending Cuts in American History, and implemented
the Largest Ever Regulation Cuts. He obliterated Iran's nuclear
enrichment capacity with Operation Midnight Hammer, convinced
NATO Countries to agree to increase contributions from 2% to 5%
of GDP, reformed the Global Trading System, and made America
Rich with Historic Tariffs, removed Critical Race Theory and
transgender insanity from public schools, and banned men from
women's sports. He began the construction of the Golden Dome
missile defense shield, renamed the Gulf of Mexico as the
Gulf of America, and has built, right here at the White House, the
magnificent Trump Presidential Ballroom after 225 year wait
-- but THE BEST IS YET TO COME!

46 Joe Biden

Sleepy Joe Biden was, by far, the worst President in American
History. Taking office as a result of the most corrupt Election ever
seen in the United States, Biden oversaw a series of unprecedented
disasters that brought our Nation to the brink of destruction. His
policies cause the highest Inflation ever recorded, leading the U.S.
Dollar to Lose more than 20% of its value in 4 years. His Green New
Scam surrendered American Energy Dominance and, by abolishing
the Southern Border, Biden let 21 million people from all over the
World pour into the United States, including from prisons, jails,
mental institutions, and insane asylums. His Afghanistan Disaster
was among the most humiliating events in American History, and
resulted in the murder of 13 brave American Servicemembers, with
many other gravely wounded. Seeing Biden's devastation weakness,
Russia invaded Ukraine, and Hamas terrorist launched the heinous
October 7 attack on Israel.

Nicknamed both "Sleepy" and "Crooked," Joe Biden was dominated
by his Radical Left handlers. They and their allies in the Fake News
Media attempted to cover up his severe mental decline, and his
unprecedented use of the Autopen. Following his humiliating debate
loss to President Trump in the Big June 2024 debate, he was forced
to withdraw from his campaign for re-election in disgrace. Biden
weaponized Law Enforcement against his political opponent, while
also persecuting many other innocent people. He left office issuing
blanket pardons to Radical Democrat criminals and thus, as well as
members of the Biden Crime Family -- But despite it all, President
Trump would get Re-Elected in a Landslide, and SAVE AMERICA!

45 Donald Trump 1

In 2016, campaigning under the slogan, "Make America Great
Again," Donald J. Trump became the first person in American

office, or serving as an Officer in the Military. After beating 16
other candidates in the Republican primary, he went on to defeat
former Secretary of State, Hillary Rodham Clinton, in an Electoral

Michigan, and Wisconsin into future election "battlegrounds."

the Largest Tax Cuts in History, built a booming Economy,
eliminated a record number of Federal Regulations, rebuilt the

Afghanistan and Iraq, both of which should not have happened

landslide in 1984, and left office with high approval, having restored
National Confidence, Spirit, and Will. He was a fan of President
Donald J. Trump long before President Trump's Historic run for the
White House. Likewise, President Trump was a fan of his!
