| Description | Media Manipulation during COVID reached unprecedented level, especially in promoting COVID-19 panic and a stampede towards COVID-19 jabs. |
| Perpetrators | COVID-19/Perpetrators |
An essential part of the COVID-19 project has been the manipulation of truth in order to push the Official Narrative that a sudden shift towards techno-totalitarianism, such as the abridgement of freedom of speech and freedom of movement is in fact a set of proportionate public health measures altruistically enforced by a well intentioned, if possibly mistaken establishment.
Official narrative
The CCM are the only people to be trusted. Social media is where conspiracy theories and "misinformation" thrive.[1]
Blaming everything on "the pandemic" rather than the government response or the actions of corporations.
In December 2021, the Express & Star newspaper uploaded a video to YouTube in which they interviewed Christmas shoppers for a feel of the representative mood in Wolverhampton for further lockdown measures proposed by Boris Johnson but only showed vox pops that agreed with the Official Narrative. The comments let them have it.[2]
"Maidstone mother drove to Italy for a COVID vaccine for her nine year old daughter".[3]
Vaccine promotion
The corporate media has used fearporn to promote the the COVID-19/Vaccine. The use of social media has been particularly utilised to reach children and young people whereas print media has been used to target older people.
Social media algorithms have used trigger warnings when key words are searched. Many vaccine adverts have swamped YouTube.
Deaths have been exploited by the media to push pro-vax messaging.[4]
Statistics
The COVID-19 death statistics have been manipulated by the media.[5]
In the UK, BBC have reported daily "Deaths solely from COVID-19 rather than deaths within 28-days of a positive test".[6]
Misrepresenting COVID deaths?[7]
Opinion
In December 2021, the ITV GMB twitter account deleted a poll which showed a vast majority of respondents opposed mandatory Covid-19 vaccination. [8]
Omicron
On December 20, 2021, Lina Hidalgo, emergency manager in Harris County, Texas, held a press conference to announce what she stated was the county’s first death from the Omicron variant of COVID-19, a claim that was instantly picked up and spread by corporate media.[9]
However, when independent journalist Dan Cohen talked to Martha Marquez of the Harris County Public Health Department, she disavowed Hidalgo’s claim, stating that “We can’t confirm that the patient died from COVID, but we can say that he was Omicron positive at the time of his death”.
