Self-Awareness Fail – ‘The Atlantic’ Breathlessly Rants About Trump’s Social Media Influencers – Twitchy

A constant annoyance with liberal-controlled media is their utter lack of self-awareness. Worse, they could be aware of it and kind of get a kick out of being internet trolls who enrage people for engagement. Worst of all, they could be literal propagandists for their side intent on manipulating and deceiving their readers.

Once revered and reputable, ‘The Atlantic’ now plays in the sewer of this new journalistic genre. This author really doesn’t like any paid influencers regardless of party because what they’re saying may not be what they believe. That said, ‘The Atlantic’ is suddenly very concerned about MAGA influencers becoming like ‘Soviet propagandists’. 

MAGA influencers are being offered access to “the White House—the perfect backdrop for any viral video—and the heady sense of being insiders. In return, all they have to do is ask questions that would make a Soviet propagandist blush,” @helenlewis writes: https://t.co/rugJbqa60O pic.twitter.com/SdwnauPsOq

Anyone who had at least one working eye and access to the internet saw the Biden team’s vigorous social media game. Vile figures from Harry Sisson to ‘JoJo from Jerz’ to ‘Deadbeat Dad, Defiant’ could be observed lying, cursing and spreading Democrats’ talking points daily. More here.

Hollaria brings the receipts. By the way, these were official photos of a White House hosted event for their social media influencers.

Gammon and Spinach!

As an aside, even unpaid ‘influencers’ seemed willing to suck up to Biden, but not in the Stalinesque way, the happy fun way!

Both the previous administration and the current administration have relied on social media influencers for propaganda purposes. Yet, for some reason, the Biden admin got a pass, or was outright praised, for doing so.

Interesting, that.

I’ve read hypocritical before but this takes the cake.

Bottom line.
