(Zero Hedge)—Thanks to the internet and (shrinking) press freedoms, legacy media outlets no longer have a monopoly on information and narratives.
Case in point, during a WEF discussion at Davos entitled “Defending Truth,” Wall St. Journal EIC Emma Tucker lamented this loss of control over ‘the facts,’ as Modernity.news reports.
“I think there’s a very specific challenge for the legacy brands, like the New York Times and like the Wall Street Journal,” Tucker said, adding “If you go back really not that long ago, as I say, we owned the news. We were the gatekeepers, and we very much owned the facts as well.”
“If it said it in the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, then that was a fact,” she continued, adding “Nowadays, people can go to all sorts of different sources for the news and they’re much more questioning about what we’re saying.”

Russia, Russia, Russia!
European Commission VP Věra Jourová also piped up during the same discussion, calling the rise of “disinformation” a “security threat,” and suggesting that “It was part of the Russian military doctrine that they will start information war, and we are in it now.”
Like when the Hillary Clinton campaign used a former (?) British spook’s Russian source to fabricate a hoax against Donald Trump, which was peddled through the Wall Street Journal and every single other legacy media outlet? That kind of information war? Or when 51 former US intelligence officials used disinformation to influence the 2020 election, suggesting the NY Post‘s Hunter Biden laptop bombshell was Russian meddling?
“Disinformation is a very powerful tool,” Jourová continued, adding that “In the EU we are focusing on improving of the system where the people will get the facts right. We don’t speak about opinions. We are not correcting anyone’s opinions or language. This is about the facts.”
Whatever.

It’s becoming increasingly clear that fiat currencies across the globe, including the U.S. Dollar, are under attack. Paper money is losing its value, translating into insane inflation and less value in our life’s savings.

Whether Central Bank Digital Currencies replace current fiat currencies or not, precious metals are poised to retain or even increase in value. This is why central banks and mega-asset managers like BlackRock are moving much of their holdings to precious metals.

“they’re much more questioning about what we’re saying.” What do you expect when you have been caught lying time and time again. In addition, your leftist bias is not even hidden any more. You deserve every bit of cynicism you get.
AMEN!
Facts like how manmade climate change is a hoax?
Salty Army Strong!! Reeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!
Another meeting where they are all in one place.
I just think it is sooo very kewl the way these slůts–in–chiefs, these fake newszoids like WSJ, which has been receiving advertising revenue from the CCP for years now, says stuff like this: “WE OWNED THE FACTS” after they pushed that seditious treason op called the RUSSIAGATE HOAX!
And, freaking YES, to any who bothered reading the court transcripts and court filings and indictments, TEAM DURHAM won both those trials, but rigged juries are like rigged elections — — the outcomes have been PREORDAINED!!!
There ya go… you said it. “Treasonous” In other words… THEY will hang for it.
You can only say a dog is a cat, and a duck is a horse for so long before someone has the cajones to call you out and say that’s BS. Took a bit longer for that to happen with the establishment media hoes, but it did finally happen.
