Note the Facts, Ignore the Analysis

It's starting to dawn on people that what poses as news these days is in reality propaganda, and this shift in perception is translating into a shift in how people read the news. As I pointed out back in May 2021, there's a way to read propaganda in which truth can be found.

The trick is to note the facts and connect the dots ourselves. The analysis and the conclusions drawn in the article is pure propaganda, and can be safely ignored. However, the actual facts cannot be completely hidden, and can often be found by simply looking for them in mainstream reporting.

Two recent examples of this illustrate my point.

  1. The wine harvest in Portugal this year has been unusually good. This reveals the fact that the summer hasn't been as hot and dry as otherwise reported.
  2. Tennis players are again dropping like flies during a US tournament. This is attributed to the virus, but most top notch players are fully vaccinated.

With more people now reading the news as the propaganda that it is, we no longer have to explain to people that the official narrative is crap. We can therefore use mainstream news when backing up our claims in the safe knowledge that few will take the journalist's analysis seriously. They will instead make a note of the facts and form their own conclusions as to what's going on.
