@SaragonzalesTX and @Carolinewrenn are Instagram handles for Trump operatives. They aren't reporters. Goodowl did not provide a link to a news source. He's grabbing stuff off of social media and posting it as "news".
Define "news source".
The MSM, no longer seems to be what qualifies as "news" these days. On the contrary, the MSM openly shills unashamedly and acts as a propaganda arm of the far-Left of one party. The MSM's biased 'coverage' willfully excludes balance, regularly hides pertinent facts it does not 'like' and avoids even mentioning topics its controllers do not want people to know so they can make up their own minds, instead feeding talking points as instructed and repeated almost verbatim ad infinitum across its spectrum. There are literally thousands of compilation videos proving this that are but a search away. Then the MSM gets literally angered and pissy when it is exposed by those who use alternate platforms to practice actual journalism and provide counterpoint and facts the MSM hides. Embarrassing does not come close to describing how the once somewhat reliable mainstream press has fallen.
While imperfect, many social media sources have become respected for their overall accuracy and willingness to show facts and 'difficult truths' the MSM has tried to hide purposefully. Look how bent out of shape the MSM got when platforms like twitter and rumble allowed freedom to post, discuss and debate without the iron-fisted control the MSM had previously exercised over much of information. Why should the MSM be afraid of Freedom and Liberty? Why should they be afraid of showing people all sides so they can make up their own minds?
OO and I do disagree on many things. However, I find him to be an earnest poster who, while passionate, has thoughts grounded in solid beliefs that are seldom contradictory, albeit often running contrary to the typical S. Main denizens. Just because we don't share opinions in lockstep, we can still discuss and respect each-other's positions. And I believe OO wants the best for our country and its legal citizenry, and believes in an underlying perspective that generally leads us there. Moreso it appears than many other who reflexively shoot down almost any perspective running contrary to a mid-to-far, far Leftist perspective while ignoring the inherent un-workability of the same.
People who choose to read many different sides, both here, in the increasingly obtuse MSM and in alternative sources on various social media platforms can freely compare and contrast. To the extent that some are curious and interested in what non-MSM propaganda has to say, I am happy to discourse. I find arguing with simple-minded, humorless Leftist party wonks and those who fall in step with them just to avoid the self-declared calamity of agreeing with opposing viewpoints to be mostly a waste of time. They are free to do so. It is not my job to repair their myopia. For those who, as did I for many years prior to registering and posting, simply lurk and find an alternate viewpoint from S. Main-stream refreshing, I am happy to point to a different point of view. Often, I have increasingly found the non-MSM, social media platforms to be months to years ahead, and generally correct about things the MSM initially reactionarily labels as 'spriacy theories' and then turn out to be true. Just one example of hundreds beyond what OO pointed to: Hunter Biden laptop, anyone? 51 'trusted' officials signed a MSM letter just before an important election swearing it was not real and a Russian hoax...turned out to be 100% true. First reported on social media by non-MSM actual journalists doing the hard work of honest journalism, and mislabeled by the MSM as untrue. There is much useful information in non-MSM sources. As there are more ways to disseminate information these days, even the MSM itself is playing catch up to open alternate channels ion social media, and bringing some of the non-MSM journalists into their own folds due to their successful reporting and large followings attributed to their effectiveness.
The main 'operatives' using instagrams handles these days appear to be far more of the MSM's own shills and minions than the free, independent journalists out there doing the thankless hard work much of today's MSM has either refused to do, long since abdicated from doing or forgotten how to do. Power to the Free, Legal People!
