If the mainstream media were purposely shilling for China, what would they be doing differently?

Today, the Chinese government released a propaganda video that shows the city of Wuhan putting on a light show to celebrate their supposed beating of the Wuhan virus. The aesthetics are as creepy as you’d imagine, with the government apparently controlling most of the lights in the city remotely.

They put out the video despite reports that new outbreaks are occurring.

“[Wuhan] has tightened restrictions on some housing complexes..after confirming dozens of new asymptomatic cases. An official newspaper said Monday there could be 10,000 to 20,000 such cases in Wuhan. The report was swiftly deleted online.” @WSJ https://t.co/51S3luLBWV — Eunice Yoon (@onlyyoontv) April 8, 2020

Despite all of China’s lies to this point, ABC News chose to run the propaganda video unedited, with no disclaimer.

In this tweet, @ABC is publishing what appears to be a largely uncut propaganda video from China Central Television, which is state television that answers to the Chinese Communist Party. https://t.co/UTg0NyMXkw — Omri Ceren (@omriceren) April 8, 2020

Other networks also shared the video.

Anything to try to own the orange man, right? I mean, look how great and successful China has been at containing the virus compared to the United States. That is, if you ignore the crematories, secret shipments of urns, and leaks saying that upwards of 50,000 people may have actually died. There’s also zero chance that people aren’t continuing to die. It’s amazing what happens when you just stop most testing and coding of deaths in relation to Wuhan virus.

But the media don’t care. They aren’t here to provide context or facts. They are here to push a narrative, and if that means unquestionably publishing actual communist propaganda, so be it. There are no lines, nor limits to the opposition to Donald Trump.
