Dont give em clicks
If we dont start pressuring our media to become more center oriented, we will continue to lose political battles. Here is one organization in o'l Mississippi.

Mississippi Today, an ultra leftist news organization in Mississippi, brings the heat in terms of fighting injustice (white folks). Even the white reporters, who come from either the Northwest or New England, try their best to find the hot race story to get clicks and to make themselves feel good that they came to the south and helped black Mississippians. The news outlet "believe that an informed Mississippi is a better Mississippi. We center readers in everything we do, informing–and engaging–Mississippians through reporting, podcasts, events and online communities."

It's a total joke.

Here are two of their latest hard hitting stories....

Q&A with two Mississippi teens fighting period poverty in their communities


So how do they get money to fund the site and pay their journalists? They do have three to four known reporters that have crossed over from the Jackson Clarion Ledger, so I am sure that they aren't cheap. And because they are left leaning, conservatives aren't going to read the drivel. Think about how much more money they could have if they were an actual center paper.

Below is a list of big time donors who basically fund this high school newspaper. Some known names that I am sure most of you have heard of before.

The media is the enemy folks.

See a few well known "trial" lawyers on there, people who made money back in the day when all you had to do to prove your case was to file it.

Stirring up trouble in a state that hasn't had a lot of trouble lately.

Packard on there. I assume that is Packard Electric. They fled Ohio and the union wages to set up in Mississippi years ago.

The Packard Foundation is a development from David Packard, one of the founders of HP.

HP the company has fled California for Texas and has begun work to turn Texas into the California from which it just fled.

The Packard Foundation is still headquartered in California and funds stuff all over the country like this propaganda outlet in Mississippi.

The Packard Foundation has $8B.

This is exactly what Mississippi Today does. The journalists there seem to believe it is their divine right. Stir up shite - to save us from ourselves.

And if you live in MS Twitter will make sure they come across your feed on a regular basis. If you block them, you will get their personal accounts as recommended. It’s amazing how it all works in a coordinated fashion.

That list is pretty interesting.

There are some who probably 'support' this unwittingly.

It's no coincidence some of Ole Miss' biggest donors are on there and this publication has done some hit jobs on Ole Miss -or rather white wealthy Southern donors who are fighting the destruction of the school. Of course, some of the names on this list are giddy over it.
