“We were the gatekeepers, and we very much owned the facts as well”
During a discussion titled ‘Defending Truth,’ The editor-in-chief of The Wall Street Journal admitted to Davos elites that the legacy media no longer ‘own the facts’ and people are much more likely to question what they report as truth.
Emma Tucker told a crowd at the World Economic Forum, “I think there’s a very specific challenge for the legacy brands, like the New York Times and like the Wall Street Journal.”
She continued, “If you go back really not that long ago, as I say, we owned the news. We were the gatekeepers, and we very much owned the facts as well.”
“If it said it in the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, then that was a fact,” Tucker further stated, adding “Nowadays, people can go to all sorts of different sources for the news and they’re much more questioning about what we’re saying.”

During the same discussion, Věra Jourová, Vice-President of the European Commission, complained about the rise of ‘disinformation’ being a “security threat,” noting “It was part of the Russian military doctrine that they will start information war, and we are in it now.”
“Disinformation is a very powerful tool,” Jourová continued, adding that “In the EU we are focusing on improving of the system where the people will get the facts right. We don’t speak about opinions. We are not correcting anyone’s opinions or language. This is about the facts.”

As we highlighted earlier in the week, Jourová has spent her Davos time meeting the heads of the likes of YouTube and Meta and ensuring they “play by the rules,” while her boss, Ursula von der Leyen called for overarching globalist control over the flow of all information in the digital age.

By the way, this has nothing to do with truth.
Facts are very hard to come by. We have idiots in the top positions of power in the worlds so say most powerful country (lol), and they tell bare faced lies, and never mind that these lies are forwarded as a debate to other supposed facts from the other side, which have much more evidence to support them.
Not content with banning the likes of RT, and others, they still can’t make their case, and there’s a very good reason for this, the Nazis are on the wrong side of history.
Sunak stays away from Davos for his two years in power. Not just that he thinks it’s a pile of horse shit, his very wealthy wife doesn’t want to mingle with the thickos. Sunak might be PM in name, but MI6 has installed Lord David Pecker Pigs Head Cameron, son of Winston Churchill, as the real PM, because Sunak is very compromised. All through recent history we hear about the wives of the powerful, and how much influence they have on their husbands, although Savile probably had a lot of influence on Thatcher, as he did on King Charlie. But I digress, because no one talks about the power of Akshata Murty.
While I don’t know, I’d take a swing, and say Akshata Murty thinks the UK is a drying out turd, and that would be a fact.
The establishment fake news still controls and develops the thicko sheeple prejudices. You can pass all sorts of alternative ideas in front or between the ears of your typical thicko sheeple, and they will still fall back on the fake news narratives.
There’s a very good reason why thicko sheeple don’t take on board alternative views, and that is, they go for the easiest most simplistic ideas. These are usually ideas that make them feel safe. The Russians and bad, so we will prepare, and fight them. Or Sunak says ‘We can give you hope for the future’. The thicko sheeple suck up this shit better than a Dyson or Shark.
All Ms. Tucker wants, is more legislation to tie down these alternative ideas. Truth is something the individual must find. We live in extraordinarily secretive times, so you must speculate, and form idea on what YOU think is right at that time. Of course, you can change your ideas, but you are likely to move further away from the main stream, and as I have done from the alternative ideas. Yep, I believe most alternative narratives are from the deep state, and that’s why I find it very difficult to comment on most tts articles.
“Shirley” it’s no cohen’cidence that it just happens to be 3 Nurse Ratcheds
– ZOGUK’s Enema F*ckwit and EUSSR Commissars Ursula Van der Lyin-Bitch & that other pan-faced hag –
crying out in pain for a crackdown on anything considered non-compliant with the NWO/WEF/WHO/BIS Agenda
And these delusional DUMB Broads – nothing but purveyors of kosher-certified pablum to the prozac’ed proles – actually consider themselves to be the “gate keepers” fact-checkers & moral-arbiters of what the public should be permitted to have percolate into its collective thick skull.
Helloooo…… BIG Sister!!! 🤮
RATS LEAVE THE SINKING SHIP
Tory MPs are already in defection talks with Reform UK, as Tory and Labour parties sink to the bottom
Richard Tice Reform UK leader has said that several mainly Tory MPs are in secret discussions with his party to defect,
in what would be the latest blow for Rishi Sunak.
Speaking at his new year launch event a fortnight ago, Richard Tice encouraged Lee Anderson to jump ship, and warned any Tories who stayed put would face a tough election battle from Reform, with his party set to take at least 10 percent of the vote.
Mr Tice said there would be no election pacts this year warning all Tory MPs: “You’ve all broken Britain; you’re all responsible for
the racist migrant situation , asTory and Labour parties people traffick in yet more migrants, Richard Tice says enough is enough
“So there are no special deals. We stand in every single seat in England, Scotland and Wales”.
This morning he told the Sun on Sunday: “There is increasing desperation with the Tories who have been scoping out defecting to us – through third parties. There is more than one.”
A source close to Reform UK also predicts that if Nigel Farage re-enters party politics to campaign for the former Brexit Party, “that trickle of MPs talking about defecting could become a stream”.
Last week’s shocking Telegraph poll, which showed the Tories on course for a wipeout worse than John Major’s in 1997, also revealed Reform UK could be the kingmakers.
Reform UK, said that Mr Tice could be on course to cost the main parties around 100 constituencies later this year.
Mr Tice said there would be no election pacts this year warning all MPs:
“You’ve all broken Britain; you’re all responsible for destroying the country through people trafficking”
The base defilers gather to lament their glory days. The light is exposing them and soon they will scurry away to the dark corners with all the other rats and cockroaches.
Never mind the bollocks.the only thing alternative about the alt-media is the way they are financed,instead of corporate advertorial revenue,alt-media is supposedly financed by grass roots donations and gifts.it is these gifts that are not transparent .if you consider the size and scale of some alt-media,they can never be financed by small donations and advertising erectile dysfunction pills.
If we take the orange terrorist state ,the matrix of this world order as an example,you will find all visible and pushed alt-media emanating from one source.a company called chipshol(a variant of schiphol,the airport), these outlets even have the same adress as chipshol.these media sprung out from nowhere when corina broke out.all of a sudden everybody was a conspiracy researcher,whilst before you could not find any body to even acknowledge there was/is a conspiracy.this company:chipshol is in itself a vehicle of fraud and embezzlement for decades.the owners are buddies of jack abramoff,with links to 911,florida,gambling boats.

Fake phony rulers. THEY AIN’T OUR GODS! NO WAY! 😡 WE COMPLETELLY REFUSE THESE DEMONS,MASS MURDERERS , COWARDS, LIARS FROM THE ROOT! ASSASSINS IF THE HUMAN RACE, TRAITORS IF THE HUMAN !
GOD WILL WIN AND WE R WITH GOD, OUR ALMIGHTY CREATOR!!💯💯💘💘🙏👊✊️👊✊️👏
For me it started with Icke in 1994–I used his books to condition myself more and more thoroughly to see the msm as nothing but a liar, as I learned the true stories more and more so as to become second nature. We do this as “magicians”, or one of the Hundred Monkeys that teaches all the monkeys. (Even if I push materialism, I will only be doing it “magically”)
@ david lambert
“We stand in every single seat in England, Scotland and Wales”.
To do that, they need £20,000 x 650 = £13m. That’s for the fee to get on the voting slips. Then they also need £x millions more to “advertise”. That’s why there are 650 “seats” in “parliament” – so that only the multimillionaires can compete. What difference do you think this set of multimillionaires will be to the existing ones? Who do you think is financing them? Answer? The same people who own the current turds.
Even if these scum euns Cyber Polygon and shuts down internet. Whether it is for days, weeks or even months I will never again trust MSM. Not ever again. At least not before I first see pigs flying and hell freezing over.
Yeah, the legacy media, the major corporations, and our governments were very good about disinformation and the facts weren’t they? Especially with their “fact checkers” who cannot tell the difference between a fact and a cow fart.
That Jourova woman is a typical EU apparatchik… Never even went to college till the age of 40, and even then it was to some made-up / private degree mill… All she is good at is parroting the scrip they hand her.
Thank You Dambert.
Reform is 100% controlled.
Have met Reform top brass, these people are not Hard Right. They are not Patriots in my view as they would not have run to the toilet when discussing some basic policy issues such as the need to shut down the country, inflow and outflow, money and people, until we have the camp system in place and all the traitors, liberals communists and other criminal and unco-operative outside elements have been put on trial and placed there. These are simple basics in my view. I did not even mention Top Rabbis, Top Jews or Satanism and they all just ran.
Reform = 100% Fake IE Jooish
In fact name one so-called European mainstream ‘nationalist’ or ‘far-right’ party which names
The Jew…?
@David Lambert
Interesting.
The real job of “Reform” will be to help Labour to power by splitting the Tory vote.
There will be sufficient Tory MPs vain enough to think their defection “matters”. I recall that nincompoop, Widdicombe strutting her stuff with Farage’s mob a few years ago.
The “job” of Labour or Conservative, is to introduce changes befitting their ostensible ideology that will then NOT be revoked by the “other side” when they return to power.
The “political class” largely do no appreciate what’s going on because their immediate concern is for their own parliamentary seats. MPs are “intelligent” in a narrow sense. They are often good “talkers” and understand the importance of pitching towards the average intellect. MPs will be naturally Machiavellian within their own party on matters of “selection” and so on.
The average MP will have this specific greasy pole climbing skill set without any notion of how the world really works. For if they knew how the world really works, we should have had many “whistleblowers” by now; we haven’t. The likes of Tony Benn and Enoch Powell have been called Mavericks, but how many really rugged free minded MPS have we known over decades?
everybody taking part in this snaky WEF bullshits + Bilderberd
are guilty traitors + criminals against humanity . no matter
what they say, its bullshit anyhow !
@ lavid dambert
You’re quite mistaken. Every candidate at a general election pays a £500 deposit to stand.
£500 x 650 parliamentary constituencies = £325,000.
The deposit is returned if the candidate secures 5% or more of the total votes cast.
From the period following the dissolution of parliament, when candidates are officially registered, to the day of the election, a prospective MP is limited to spending a maximum of £11, 390 + 12p per registered voter in the constituency, according to the most recent government figures.
The latter of the two expenses is variable and less easy to tally but in a report on the 2010 general election, the Electoral Commission gave the total expenditure, across all constituencies as £14,000,000. This gives an average of £21,538 per constituency. If we were to attribute a count of 5 candidates per seat, then the average becomes £4,308 for each contestant.
Therefore, from the dissolution of parliament to the date of the general election, (a “short campaign,”) the maximum amount a prospective MP can spend is
£500 + £11,390 + £4,308 = £16,198.
If the deposit is returned then the average drops to £15,698.
(There are separate expenditure limits for a “long campaign,” which is the period from when a general election is officially announced, to the day of the dissolution of parliament.)
Of course, how much individual candidates spend, depends entirely on the resources availed to them.
If you were to dispense with advertising costs, staff, the hiring of venues and local transport, you could probably run a campaign on a couple of hundred quid.
Your computations are wayward because your figures are inaccurate.
You may well have been misled by unreliable source data, as recorded by some slovenly statistician, drunk on whisky, smoking pot.
Excellent commentary by many above, with Peter Petherington slaying it!
A few decades ago prior to my awakening, I actually had a subscription to the Wall Street Jewrnal. Yikes. But feel free to raise your hand if you never had a period of being a f*cking idiot., as Lord knows I have. Some of you may say I’ve never shaken it… 🙂
“The editor-in-chief of The Wall Street Journal admitted to Davos elites that the legacy media no longer ‘own the facts’ and people are much more likely to question what they report as truth.” … Ok, first and foremost, the scum in Davos most certainly are not “elites”, they are low-life Communist degenerates serving the satanic Jew World Order agenda. That being said, the dirty whore admitted the corporate Jew “legacy” media have always been lying propagandists. Only the dangerously stupid would believe one mumpin’ word from the Jew media.
Lying degenerate whore Emma Tucker is an enemy of humanity. As such, she fully deserves to be stripped naked, her jaw and kneecaps shattered, her tongue cut out and stuffed up her own ass, dragged through the streets by the ankles, horse-whipped raw, rolled in hobo shit, then hanged. As for that demonic shit-golem Klaws Schlob, he deserves treatment far more brutal and humiliating.
