Media Relations: Influencing Vs Lying, A Blatant Disregard For The Profession

/ John / Leave a comment

Creative and talented people can weave a story highlighting the benefits of a product or service (or person) in a way that is eloquent. Avoiding the pitfalls that you know exist, or handling them deftly to the point where they are diminished compared with the benefits of the offering is an art.

It used to be that actual journalists would hold feet to the fire if they smelled any excrement flowing out of the mouth of the speaker so that they had to somewhat come clean. When you preach to the sheep, you can say anything. They’ll eat shit as quickly as they eat the truth.

Then there is Lying.

Here is an example of outright lying over the truth that is self evident to any audience, the speaker, the journalists and the world, yet no one says what is true either spoken or written, other than a few outlets.

The current White House spokes puppet blamed a president who left a secured border and hasn’t been in power for 2 years for the current disaster at the border. Even she doesn’t believe what she is saying. She is blaming Trump for what Biden has actually done.

Raise your hand if you saw this coming!

The fiscal year 2023 is already on the way to breaking records regarding the border.

Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre even said Trump gutted the immigration system:

JEAN-PIERRE: “ — especially because of what the last administration did, and they completely gutted the system. And we know that this has been a multidecade-long problem. We need to modernize the system, and this is something that the President has put forth and we are looking for Congress to act. We are asking Congress to act.”

It’s okay! Biden’s administration has a “six-point” plan to combat the border crisis.

But should support or have concerns with Title 42 ending?

Jean-Pierre said, “What Americans should know is that the President has done — has done the work to deal with what we’re seeing at the border since day one.”

Biden went to Arizona a few weeks ago.

Biden said he had more important things to do than go to the border and see the mess caused by his empty promises during the presidential campaign.

I guess those that want to believe it will act like it, but no one can possibly look at the facts, the results, the actions and not know this is blatant lying.

It is a pox on the media relations profession, the journalists who repeat this spew and anyone else involved.

Fentanyl overtakes car crashes as top cause of death among teenagers in Arizona border county

Where is this coming from? It’s supplied by China and coming across the Mexican border. Is there anyone who doubts this other than the NYT? Are any of the alphabet networks reporting this fact? No and no.

Fentanyl seizures by Customs and Border Protection in Arizona have skyrocketed over the past two years. Last November, Border Patrol agents at a highway checkpoint found in a vehicle enough fentanyl to kill more than 200,000 people. Seizures are no longer the rare occurrence they were several years ago.

The fentanyl boom in recent years represents a third wave of the opioid epidemic, following first an increase in the abuse of prescription painkillers around the turn of the century and then a rise in heroin use. But the fentanyl phase is different in that it involves an international operation of people in multiple countries working together to produce and transport the drugs and then secretly shuttle the profits across U.S. borders.

Chinese money launderers and fentanyl-makers have gone into business with Mexican drug cartels, teaming up to make billions of dollars a year trafficking the powerful opioid that is killing thousands of people in the U.S.

The fentanyl ingredients are sent from labs in Wuhan, China, to Mexico, where the final product is made. It is then sneaked over the U.S.-Mexico border and dispersed nationwide, often put into other drugs in an attempt to hook a user of meth or cocaine on this new substance.

Through the decades, federal law enforcement at the U.S.-Mexico border has seized millions of pounds of drugs that cartels attempted to smuggle into the U.S. Nearly all of the drugs seized were marijuana, but marijuana seizures have significantly declined in recent years. Unlike marijuana, fentanyl can be produced year-round and is more profitable, part of the reason cartels are abandoning marijuana.

I wonder why the government doesn’t react to this to put a stop to it. Still, why aren’t they doing something about it?

I get that the current group in charge is trying to undo anything that the last regime put into place, but how about trying to protect the US citizen’s.

Here is the amount of Fentanyl it takes to kill someone. They are shipping in tons of the stuff.

Can we stop this please? Protect us from the CCP and the Mexican Cartels.
