Compact has a good article on Trudeau’s absolute tyranny, which was aided AS ALWAYS by the media. Compact’s writers grasp HARDASS REALITY better than most, which is why I pay for a subscription. I won’t pay anyone who can’t see beyond the standard myths.
In this article one of the standard myths creeps in, perhaps without the writer’s full awareness. That’s the value of standard myths. They are seen as automatic parts of reality, like gravity and seasons, until you pull them out and examine them. (As I did last night with one of my silly private myths.)

It was the first attention the Coutts case had received in some time. Ostensibly, this lack of coverage was owed to a ban on publishing certain information pertaining to the case, imposed at the request of the men’s defense counsel. The judge who agreed to the ban noted that amplifying “unsubstantiated allegations” against the men would reduce the pool of impartial jurors for a trial.
But the publication ban has come to serve as a pretext for media outlets not to report on details of the case that contradicted the narrative they had helped the government construct. In this way, inconvenient questions about the case could be suppressed.

Media never needs a pretext to suppress heresy. Journalists have ALWAYS been inquisitors and silencers, ferociously devoted to rooting out all unfashionable thought. The myth of “investigative reporters”, like the myth of “scientific debate”, was far less prevalent before Deepstate’s 1946 resurgence. In the 20s and 30s everyone recognized that a newspaper served its owners and served the government.
After 1934, broadcasters were subject to a different form of censorship. The Fairness Doctrine prohibited them from playing the Machiavellian division game to suppress heresy. Newspapers continued to publish “investigative reporting” which was really “inquisitive silencing”.
Without the soap opera of fake division, ordinary people had MORE FREEDOM to do their own thinking about each important issue, though real heresies were still unspoken by media. When your mind isn’t filled with the official “debate”, it has more room to look at reality and ask questions.
CARVER:
LOOK ABOUT YOU.
TAKE HOLD OF THE THINGS THAT ARE HERE.
TALK TO THEM.
LET THEM TALK TO YOU.
