The sheer duplicity of the cable news propaganda machine is on full display in a video montage on how whistleblowers are treated, depending on whether the songs they sing target Democrats or Republicans.
The left-wing talking heads on CNN and MSNBC readily tarnish sources with information that may be harmful to President Biden as “so-called whistleblowers,” while in 2019 CNN’s prima donna reporter Jim Acosta took exception to Trump’s team calling retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman a “so-called whistleblower” — Vindman, who was called “hard-working” and “patriotic,” would be granted privileged status on the networks for his role in the first impeachment of former President Donald Trump.
At the same time, the montage posted by Grabien founder Tom Elliott shows the IRS whistleblowers who exposed the preferential treatment of Hunter Biden during the investigation of his questionable business practices being repeatedly referred to as not being real whistleblowers. They are instead called “political operatives,” and viewers are told that they are not “credible.”
Simon Ateba, the chief White House correspondent at Today News Africa, shared Elliott’s montage, along with the all-caps warning: “THIS WILL BLOW YOUR MIND.”
THIS WILL BLOW YOUR MIND: See the media when @realDonaldTrump was in power, and now that @JoeBiden is in the office. @maddow @NicolleDWallace @jrpsaki @JoyVBehar @JoyAnnReid @Lawrence, others should all be ashamed of themselves. SAD – WATCH pic.twitter.com/0dXYqr6pnf

It’s almost as if the cable news outlets are reading from the same talking points that the Democratic Party adheres to as Vindman is elevated to “hero” status.
And while many are quick to dismiss these partisan hacks for what they are, mouthpieces for the left, it’s important to understand how effective the effort can be. It’s a steady drip, day in and day out. A widespread effort that reaches millions and turns the truth on its head, making false narratives like “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot” and “Don’t Say Gay” national slogans that drive people into the streets.
Here’s a quick sampling of responses to the story from Twitter, which is now known as X:
Hypocrisy at it’s best: They’re only actual whistleblowers when they testify against Trump.

Let’s not forget this post wouldn’t be allowed without Elon taking over twitter.

Probably shouldn’t have started my morning off watching that. The first 30 seconds had me in complete disgust. I’ve never witnessed such blatant disgusting hypocrisy and lies. Our MSM is no longer honorable, it’s just a propaganda hate machine for the left.

These propaganda outlets make me physically ill.

Hilarious. So-called Congressman Connolly gets a special shout out for tossing in the ‘Russia’ connection.
