by Jon Rappoport, No More Fake News:
Back in the early 1980s, when I started working as a reporter, it occurred to me that the mainstream news could be a quite different thing.
What I mean is, I imagined the networks and newspapers covering VERY DIFFERENT stories and hammering on them, day after day. I imagined this with clarity. I could see “another world,” and in that world, reality would take on a radically new shape for millions of people.

Their thought processes would change. Their perception would change.
I knew intelligence agencies were influencing news coverage. They were writing the coverage sometimes. They were the inheritors of “public relations” as an art and science. They were painting pictures of What Exists as surely as artists of the Renaissance were depicting the mythological stories of the Vatican.
There I was, imagining a different news establishment making a different universe.
Since that time, I’ve always known that imagining alternative universes is a vital component of journalism.
For example, what would have happened if, in 2020, the New York Times suddenly had decided to follow up, day after day, on its own story about 90% of PCR tests being false-positives? Suppose they had traced out the implications. Suppose they had interviewed many scientists and confirmed the fact that, even by conventional standards, only 10% of all COVID cases in America could be real.
Every major news outlet in the world would have picked up this story and ran with it. The emerging scandal would have shaked and cracked the pillars of the medical establishment. The “pandemic” would have been reduced to a nub.
Back in the early 1980s, I was sensing this sort of reversal of reality, on many issues. I realized how powerfully intelligence-agency news was creating the world.
In a true sense, the public was always only an inch away from seeing a different world. But that inch seemed to be made out of steel.
I spoke to other reporters and editors about this. They weren’t interested. At the time, I was astonished. Couldn’t these professionals see that reality was elastic and malleable? Couldn’t they see that manipulation was far deeper than telling lies? Couldn’t they see that the CIA was a reality-manufacturing company?
