Stay Free - Russel Brand - Here's the News: Trump Wins New Hampshire And The Media Is Scared...

In the wake of Donald Trump's victory in the Iowa primary, many have wondered why legacy media outlets are so obsessed with Donald Trump. Is it because they re afraid of losing their ad revenue if he s not re-elected? Or is it because he s actually good at what he does? And why do they care so much about him? And what are the real reasons behind the anti-Trump hysteria that seems to be running rampant across media outlets across the country? In this episode, Russell Brand takes a look at some of the hypocrisy in the mainstream media's coverage of Trump, and asks whether they re secretly rooting for him because they can t afford to lay off legacy media workers when he s out of the picture, and when their advertising revenue slumps. And if they do, what will they do with all the media workers they can't afford to hire to cover him? Is it possible that they re just as bad at covering Trump as they are at covering other candidates, because they don t have the advertising revenue to support them? Or are they just as good at it as they do at peddling lies and propaganda, and not telling you the truth about what s going on in the real world as they pretend to be?

00:00:55.000 This week was about excess deaths and the surprising, and let's face it, mortifying,

00:01:00.000 8% rise in child deaths in the UK and possibly beyond that.

00:01:04.000 We did an exclusive video covering John Campbell's content and look at what could be causing these excess deaths

00:01:10.000 across the world.

00:01:11.000 Certainly the legacy media are never going to tell you about it,

00:01:13.000 so support our content so we can grow this movement together,

00:01:17.000 because out there in the legacy media space is a complicated world,

00:01:20.000 even those that claim to hate Donald Trump more than Satan.

00:01:24.000 More than Beelzebub.

00:01:26.000 More than the darkest imaginable realms seem to be secretly rooting for him because when Trump's out of office and out of the picture, they have to lay off legacy media workers.

00:01:36.000 Their advertising revenue slumps.

00:01:38.000 So, is it possible that the reason the hysteria and amplification of the anti-Trump narrative continues to abide and even increases because the legacy media need Trump, Now Trump is expected to win New Hampshire tonight and of course he rinsed it in Iowa.

00:01:53.000 But there was a rush to announce his victory, perhaps preemptively, because legacy media outlets wanted to be the first to unveil the information.

00:02:02.000 Let's have a look at some legacy media reporting around Trump and see if we can see where the hypocrisy emerges.

00:02:07.000 Oh, we don't know the number yet, Julie Fine.

00:02:09.000 Thank you so much.

00:02:10.000 But the Associated Press has officially called it, Donald Trump wins the Iowa Republican Caucuses.

00:02:17.000 That is 32 minutes after they began.

00:02:20.000 We have this race called, at least in terms There's a reason the news looks how it does. 1.00

00:02:26.000 There's a reason it's often a male and a female in suits in front of important institutional buildings.

00:02:31.000 It's in order to suggest that the news is something other than a television program.

00:02:36.000 But it is editorialized.

00:02:37.000 That means they select information to amplify, they select information to ignore, and significantly they are funded by their partners in marketing.

00:02:44.000 In this case, in talking about cable news, overwhelmingly by Big Pharma.

00:02:48.000 Have you noticed any news stories in the last couple of years that were biased towards outcomes that might be favourable to Big Pharma?

00:02:54.000 Let me know in the chat and the comments.

00:02:56.000 So when it comes to covering Donald Trump, they are massively compromised because clearly, ideologically, they do not like Donald Trump.

00:03:02.000 He is a populist.

00:03:03.000 He is a candidate that blue-collar workers tend to flock towards.

00:03:07.000 He is anti-elite, anti-establishment.

00:03:09.000 Those are just a few of the things about Trump they loathe and despise.

00:03:12.000 And yet Trump for them is ratings gold.

00:03:15.000 So how do legacy media organizations that are dependent on advertising revenue support in an unbiased way on Donald Trump?

00:03:22.000 The simple truth is they are unable to.

00:03:25.000 We have to get that we'll get to the Hitler stuff in a second. 0.88

00:03:28.000 I mean, I think that story's been covered. 0.76

00:03:30.000 He was a really bad, genocidal lunatic that used folk myth, the music of Wagner, even Hindu symbolism and Roman pageantry to revivify a dormant German nation that had been crushed by the First World War. 0.88

00:03:42.000 We don't need to get back into, oh, you're going to say that Trump's here. 0.97

00:03:45.000 No, that is news.

00:03:46.000 But let's start, though, with I'll make a chart.

00:03:49.000 The fact that Donald Trump... Mike is making a chart.

00:03:53.000 They're making the news up.

00:03:54.000 I'll do a chart.

00:03:55.000 Is this chart gonna be reasons that Donald Trump is like Hitler?

00:03:58.000 Firstly, haircuts.

00:03:59.000 They both had unusual haircuts.

00:04:02.000 It's not well.

00:04:03.000 We know this.

00:04:04.000 But this guy, he's looking so old, he's shuffling around.

00:04:09.000 They act as if it's ethically incorrect as well to condemn Biden on the basis of his physical appearance and his age, but they do it for Trump because they've got no principles at all, have they?

00:04:18.000 All the while they're talking about this, they're thinking, we need Donald Trump.

00:04:21.000 Without Donald Trump, pretty soon it's going to be, Micah, oh, sorry, you don't have Micah.

00:04:25.000 We had to make her redundant because Biden is doing another term, basically at this point, like an ash cloud from a crypt and we can't afford to pay Micah's wages.

00:04:34.000 He's going through this thing and then about why he should have total immunity, total immunity even when he crosses the line.

00:04:44.000 It is pure, sheer authoritarianism and tyranny.

00:04:50.000 If that is your depiction and understanding of authoritarianism and tyranny, I'd love to see how they're handling the numerous stories around Hunter Biden, his business interests and their potential connection to Joe Biden, whether that's the Burisma stuff in Ukraine, these potential Chinese deals, of course, the reporting that was censored during the time of the election, because if something is corrupt, and tyrannical, then it has to be corrupt and tyrannical

00:05:10.000 whichever side does it.

00:05:11.000 Otherwise you're simply advocating for a particular ideology while

00:05:14.000 simultaneously amplifying the threat of Trump in order to have a powerful demon

00:05:18.000 and opponent in their preferred media space so they can continually agitate

00:05:22.000 for advertising.

00:05:23.000 So we have that part of it.

00:05:25.000 It is Trump at his most dangerous, but also Trump at his most detached from reality.

00:05:32.000 He's really losing it.

00:05:34.000 We've been getting glimpses now of him shuffling around and looking lost.

00:05:42.000 Have they covered Joe Biden in that bike shop?

00:05:45.000 Look at this.

00:05:45.000 This is Morgan Sherman and Sam.

00:05:49.000 It's crazy.

00:05:50.000 So there you go.

00:05:51.000 There's a good degree of hysteria there and agitation.

00:05:54.000 So it would be surprising to learn, wouldn't it, that during the periods where Trump was not in office and not in the news cycle, their figures and revenue suffered.

00:06:03.000 We'll get into that in a moment.

00:06:05.000 Let's have a look at some more MSNBC hysteria. 1.00

00:06:08.000 Donald Trump supporters are right there with him.

00:06:11.000 Even as his rhetoric has become more blatantly fascist, they want what he wants.

00:06:16.000 Like, if you're going to scrutinize rhetoric right down to the sort of colloquial idiosyncrasies, what about the moment where Joe Biden says, no, the bombing of the Yemen isn't working in so much it isn't impacting the Houthis, but we're going to continue with it.

00:06:29.000 That actually goes beyond fascism.

00:06:31.000 That's into the kind of Orwellian dystopianism of the reversal of the meaning of language.

00:06:37.000 And of course, many of you will be saying right now, and perhaps even typing in the comments, the goal is not to end wars, the goal is forever wars.

00:06:43.000 Don't you think that these kind of deeply cynical globalist issues are more significant than the tribal polemicism and fanfare that surrounds either of these two candidates, frankly?

00:06:54.000 In short, if they are indeed legitimately concerned about Donald Trump, why are they not analysing and scrutinising corruption, hypocrisy and authoritarianism within the party that they support?

00:07:04.000 In the past year, Trump has called for the termination of the Constitution, said he wants to be dictator for a day.

00:07:09.000 That was a joke.

00:07:10.000 I watched that.

00:07:11.000 He said that on, I think, Glenn Beck or Sean Hannity, wasn't it?

00:07:14.000 And he said, for a day, I'll be dictator, build the wall.

00:07:17.000 It's sort of a joke.

00:07:18.000 Now, the fact that they must know that that's a joke and they're reporting on it as if it's serious shows you that they are kind of tweaking the dials.

00:07:25.000 Well, what if that wasn't a joke?

00:07:26.000 What if we portray that in its worst possible light?

00:07:29.000 I know about these legacy media tactics because I know how I personally have been victim to it.

00:07:34.000 They take something that was out in the open and clear and explicit, for example my promiscuity, dial it up, amplify it, make it look as awful as possible and then present it to you as news.

00:07:44.000 What do the legacy media report on and what do they ignore?

00:07:47.000 They ignore things that could be detrimental to the interests of the powerful and they celebrate and amplify stories that are antithetical to your personal and particular interests.

00:07:56.000 Trump has fundamentally transformed the Republican Party to the point that the party itself has taken on his grievances and the agenda of vengeance that he's openly planning if he wins a second term.

00:08:09.000 Aside from agenda of vengeance sounding like a bit of a Sith sequel, From an overly franchised Star Wars movie.

00:08:17.000 Doesn't it seem to you that there is a bit of an agenda of vengeance against Trump himself as he deals with indictment after indictment after they continually pursue him through various courts?

00:08:25.000 It seems to me somewhat politically motivated rather than, we must have justice for all of these various diffuse frauds.

00:08:33.000 As Tom Nichols wrote in The Atlantic this week, quote, these voters now want to get even with their fellow citizens, not for what's been done to Trump, but for what they feel has been done to them.

00:08:43.000 They were certain that 2016 would finally bring them the recognition and respect they craved.

00:08:48.000 Instead, Trump set them up for a steady diet of ego-bruising rebukes from other voters.

00:08:54.000 Ego bruising, rebukes from other voters.

00:08:56.000 It's an interesting piece of analysis and you would think, given the nature of that invective, that these news organisations would legitimately be opposed to Trump.

00:09:05.000 But are they?

00:09:06.000 Here we go again.

00:09:07.000 About 30 minutes into counting the first votes of the Iowa caucus, the Associated Press, CNN, NBC and various other news networks called it for Donald Trump.

00:09:15.000 Donald Trump wins the Iowa Republican Caucuses.

00:09:18.000 That is 32 minutes after they began.

00:09:22.000 There was little doubt that the former president would easily dominate the rural state but the rush to declare him the victor in violation of policies that prohibit such calls before the polls close was a blatant attempt to soak up the election night audience.

00:09:33.000 It is difficult because of course they have an agenda beyond conveying information.

00:09:38.000 This followed another departure from traditional editorial practices when MSNBC and CNN refused to screen Trump's victory speech MSNBC host Rachel Maddow, casting herself and her network as defenders of the Republic, justified the unusual decision with typical exaggerated commentary.

00:09:52.000 Maddow said her network would suffer by knowingly broadcasting untrue things, which is an extraordinary claim to present themselves as gatekeepers, and that is why you cannot trust the legacy media.

00:10:03.000 That's why you should consider supporting our channel, where right now you can watch an exclusive video for our supporters on 8% excess death rises in children.

00:10:11.000 There's a link in the description.

00:10:13.000 You can follow that here.

00:10:14.000 The Iowa primary heralded democracy falling to an authoritarian and potentially fascist form of government.

00:10:20.000 For his part, Jake Tapper of CNN suggested his network had to shield viewers from anti-immigrant rhetoric.

00:10:26.000 I suppose there has to be a continual amplification of the hysteria simply to provide a sense of narrative.

00:10:32.000 It's pretty clear they don't like Donald Trump.

00:10:34.000 It's pretty clear that what they want is neoliberal authoritarianism with strong globalist ties.

00:10:39.000 An America that is run by the agenda of NATO, the WHO, the WEF.

00:10:44.000 Defined and confined by cultural war issues.

00:10:47.000 It's pretty clear that that is the agenda.

00:10:49.000 You don't need to, every single day, keep bloody well telling everybody that.

00:10:52.000 Trump responded in kind.

00:10:54.000 NBC and CNN refused to air my victory speech, he said at a rally in New Hampshire the following day.

00:10:59.000 Think of it because they are crooked, they're dishonest and frankly they should have their licenses or whatever they

00:11:04.000 have taken away. 0.94

00:11:05.000 [Laughs]

00:11:06.000 Their licenses or whatever they have, typically dismissive.

00:11:09.000 If you watch Trump's victory speech in Iowa, it was full of just sort of politeness

00:11:13.000 and I think that one of the mistakes they're making is by portraying Trump as this incredibly intoxicating and

00:11:20.000 charismatic leader who they can't even broadcast, makes him somewhat more

00:11:24.000 appealing, particularly when understandably trust in the media is at

00:11:28.000 an all time deserved and understandable low.

00:11:31.000 Their refusal to even platform Donald Trump, I think, and let me know if you agree with this in the chat and the

00:11:35.000 comments, makes Trump seem more legitimate.

00:11:38.000 And with that, election season has started, along with the outrage cycle from which both Trump and legacy media reap mutual benefit.

00:11:47.000 The more media outlets lean into partisan anti-Trump coverage, the more gleefully he campaigns against the media as a biased institution.

00:11:54.000 It's a pattern that first took shape nine years ago when Trump launched his campaign with a series of inflammatory statements. 0.98

00:12:00.000 Mexican migrants are rapists. 1.00

00:12:02.000 Ban all Muslim immigration. 1.00

00:12:03.000 Why can't I call women fat pigs, slobs and disgusting animals? 1.00

00:12:07.000 The extreme remarks rolled on. 1.00

00:12:09.000 In response, the media abandoned objectivity.

00:12:11.000 Journalists inserted themselves into the story, often challenging Trump directly and darkly warning readers to oppose him.

00:12:17.000 The New York Times and Washington Post broke tradition and used the words lie and liar on their splash to describe a presidential candidate.

00:12:24.000 The media used any opportunity to present Trump in a negative light.

00:12:27.000 MSNBC, despite its supposed rule against broadcasting falsehoods, reported salacious stories casting Trump as a Russian intelligence asset, of course referring to Russiagate, which Rachel Maddow and MSNBC et al all enthusiastically reported, even though it's been proven to be untrue since then.

00:12:43.000 The press peered itself against the candidate.

00:12:45.000 While popular on cable television, this approach is very much divorced from journalism that seeks to understand why voters were attracted to his message on trade, his unorthodox opposition to foreign military interventions, or the anger he mobilized against establishment elites.

00:12:58.000 For his part, Trump embraced this approach, even encouraging his supporters to jeer the assembled journalists at his campaign rallies.

00:13:04.000 I think the political press is among the most dishonest people that I've ever met, Trump would say, to be met with uproarous applause.

00:13:11.000 Undoubtedly, Trump's instincts around elitism, the establishment, neoliberal, globalist politics are pretty acute, astute and well observed.

00:13:21.000 The fact is, Trump cannot rise to prominence and ongoing success unless there is an appetite for Trump.

00:13:26.000 And a big part of that appetite, I believe, is the antipathy that the government, legacy media, corporatism, globalism are all collectively held in.

00:13:34.000 Whether or not you believe Trump has delivered on the promises and rhetoric that he's delivered in his previous presidential campaign and whether or not he will deliver on the rhetoric during this one, there is no question that the more the legacy media says that they hate Donald Trump, the more other people regard him as a populist icon and an anti-establishment figure.

00:13:52.000 What's baffling about all of this is there's never a time of atonement or a reckoning You never see Morning Joe and all them others sat around the table going, you know what, we should probably talk about the corruption within the Biden family.

00:14:03.000 We should probably talk about the lack of infrastructure in American life.

00:14:06.000 We should probably talk about why all of these people feel so unheard and angry.

00:14:09.000 Unless you're willing to campaign along the lines of, listen, we don't think Donald Trump's a very good political figure for these reasons, but we recognize that what he's tapped into in you is a kind of rage and anger and despair and a desire for a different type of America.

00:14:24.000 All they've ever really offered is, you slot must be racist.

00:14:27.000 And so much of it doesn't make sense when you find out that the Democrat Party has already lost the white working class vote of its own former supporters and is well on the way to losing non-white, black, Hispanic voters.

00:14:39.000 So who is it exactly that Donald Trump's being racist against?

00:14:43.000 One of the things he was most condemned for was the cages.

00:14:45.000 The children at the border in cages.

00:14:47.000 Then you learn Barack Obama built those cages.

00:14:49.000 Or the wall.

00:14:50.000 The typical Donald Trump policy.

00:14:52.000 One thing I know how to do is build.

00:14:54.000 All of that stuff and then you discover that Joe Biden is continuing to build the wall.

00:14:58.000 Similarly, the campaign pledges offered by Joe Biden.

00:15:00.000 I will make Saudi Arabia a pariah. 1.00

00:15:02.000 Make them in fact the pariah that they are.

00:15:05.000 Then he does a series of arms deals and energy deals with Saudi Arabia.

00:15:09.000 Their inability to address the problem leaves us open to the rhetoric, charisma and phenomena of Donald Trump.

00:15:16.000 They can never I don't want to directly address it, because to directly address it you would have to acknowledge the culpability of the system itself.

00:15:22.000 You'd have to say, this system doesn't work, it's probably at an end now, we're resisting that change because we won't let someone like Robert F. Kennedy even debate our current candidate.

00:15:31.000 We won't send Biden into the debate, Marianne Williamson.

00:15:33.000 And because of that, because Joe Biden is a symbol of the establishment, he is a symbol of that party, elderly, perhaps once efficient, but certainly not anymore.

00:15:42.000 Because of these failings, all they can do is sort of marvel at All decorum gone, the clashes drove record viewership and unprecedented profits for media corporations.

00:16:00.000 Meanwhile, the endless anti-Trump headlines in the liberal media only made his point about bias while also keeping him right at the heart of every story.

00:16:08.000 The profit dynamic was significant.

00:16:10.000 In 2015, Les Moonves, then chief of CBS News, was giddy with the Trump-driven audience.

00:16:16.000 Looking ahead, he told investors, the presidential election is right around the corner and thank God the rancor has already begun.

00:16:23.000 Moonves, on a subsequent call, claimed the Carnival-esque campaign fueled pretty phenomenal political advertising revenue.

00:16:29.000 Go Donald! 0.82

00:16:30.000 Keep getting out there, he chuckled, according to a recording.

00:16:34.000 So there's an obvious compromise there.

00:16:36.000 They're ultimately, like all for-profit organisations, the bottom line is the line that matters most.

00:16:41.000 At the moment, they can appeal to their audience by continually condemning Trump.

00:16:45.000 It seems to work.

00:16:46.000 But if it gets proven at some point that by amplifying Trump, by showing Trump, by finding the right line, what we'll do is we'll talk about Trump but we won't show his speeches.

00:16:54.000 If they can't continue this delicate dance around the issue of Trump, their model is doomed.

00:16:59.000 And perhaps with the rise of independent media anyway, their model is no longer effective.

00:17:04.000 What we're watching, I think, is a bunch of institutions falling apart, doubling down on hysteria and authoritarianism in order to resist what seems to me to be the inevitable decentralization of many of their models.

00:17:16.000 Let me know what you think in the chat.

00:17:17.000 The Washington Post and New Yorker enjoyed record circulation.

00:17:20.000 MSNBC and CNN also claimed unprecedented viewership, finally outflanking Fox News as each network competed for an audience hungry for Trump controversies, some of which, like the Steele dossier, were outright fabrications.

00:17:33.000 A story we've covered, the Clinton campaign funded lies that made it all the way onto legacy media shows and they've never really acknowledged that.

00:17:40.000 They certainly don't ever acknowledge it when they talk about lack of trust in the media or the rise in Trump's popularity.

00:17:45.000 Another one of the things they just don't cover.

00:17:47.000 The heightened political climate continues to benefit CNN, John Martin, head of Turner, told the Financial Times.

00:17:53.000 Even the New York Times boasted about its Trump bump.

00:17:55.000 Mark Thompson, then the Times' chief executive, celebrated a continued revenue spike well after the campaign ended, as coverage of exceptional news events, including the firing of James Comey, helped add 109,000 new digital customers.

00:18:09.000 Ultimately it's a business model that needs to alter and amend and it needs to exist in these type of spaces.

00:18:14.000 I believe that's why these kind of spaces are under significant attack because they represent the emergence of entirely new perspectives or old perspectives re-heard and it's an enormous threat to the media unless they can start penetrating these spaces.

00:18:26.000 But with Biden came the Trump slump.

00:18:29.000 The Washington Post lost nearly a third of its digital audience and last October announced large cutbacks to its workforce.

00:18:35.000 Viewership rates are down at all the major cable and television networks, with NBC and MSNBC just earlier this month reporting yet another round of layoffs.

00:18:42.000 When you consider that the Democrat Party essentially exiled RFK rather than have a candidate that could stand up against Trump, and wouldn't even let Bernie Sanders run as a candidate, preferring Hillary Clinton inexplicably, how do you imagine the legacy media, the propagandist arm of the same establishment interests, Feels when it comes to a decision between we're going to have to cut our own workforce and make less money with Biden in office or we can continue to contribute to this hysteria around Trump even knowing that potentially we increase his chances of being elected but also keep our advertising revenue and subs nice and high.

00:19:19.000 How do you think they might respond to that internally knowing what we know about their ethics?

00:19:23.000 No wonder then that the anti-Trump narrative is rearing its head again. 0.73

00:19:26.000 The Iowa coverage already points to what lies ahead as Trump is described as a psychopathic criminal. 0.71

00:19:31.000 That's extreme, isn't it? 0.98

00:19:33.000 Like, not just a criminal, not just a psychopath, but a psychopathic criminal. 0.99

00:19:38.000 The worst thing anyone can be. 0.99

00:19:42.000 And his entire base built on a cult of personality.

00:19:45.000 The media will again do battle in an attempt to prevent the former president from returning to the White House.

00:19:50.000 Paradoxically though, this is bound to help not hinder Trump's campaign.

00:19:54.000 In 2016, journalists were so distracted by the latest Trump tweet that they paid no heed to the electorate.

00:19:59.000 It's deep frustration at the establishment and it's longing for a change agent.

00:20:03.000 But such are the incentives and outlets are bound to overplay their hand again.

00:20:06.000 The professional and financial advantages are such that non-partisan journalism is forgotten.

00:20:11.000 The media will cast themselves as defenders of democracy and joust with Trump and his campaign, little realizing that their crusade may well lead him straight back into office.

00:20:20.000 I suppose the question we're left with is, is that exactly where they want him?

00:20:24.000 What an extraordinary time we live in where our trust in media is so low we can't even trust them in their own evident passion and enthusiasm when it comes to ultimately what matters most to them, ongoing profits.

00:20:37.000 When we know how their model is funded, when we know what their affiliations are when it comes to corporatism, when we saw during the pandemic period how they advocate and align in particular with the interest of the pharmaceutical

00:20:47.000 industry, which is why we want you to subscribe and watch our

00:20:50.000 "8% Excess Death in Children" video if you can, because I believe strongly the legacy media model is

00:20:55.000 finished.

00:20:56.000 They have no authenticity, they have no vitality, they have no real connection to the issues they talk about.

00:21:01.000 When you see Micah and Morning Joe and those various other pundits pontificating,

00:21:06.000 What I believe you're watching is the end of a particular type of institution that has no ideas left except the ongoing vilification of someone in the figure of Donald Trump who has harnessed a tide of anti-establishment zeal and they are completely at a loss as to how to oppose it because to oppose it would mean radically altering their entire model and everything that they advocate for.

00:21:25.000 But that's just what I think more important than any of that.

00:21:27.000 If you can, please stay free.

00:21:32.000 There's the dude.
