The Podesta emails on Wikileaks showed the massive level of collusion amongst the press in the US to support Hillary. This is rife so it doesn’t specifically surprise me, but this is one of the most glaring cases I’ve come across in a long while.

You’re not being dense, perhaps I should explain that better. Every time the media mention Tommy, a significant group of their readers who don’t normally follow him, wind up looking at his Instagram, Facebook or YouTube channels.

The glaring failure to mention the whole Panodrama thing, which is all you see if you look at any of Tommy’s own channels over the last week, will strike even the most normie people as odd.

This collusion has clearly been going on for a very long time.

I used to wonder how various news outlets not only reported the same thing at the same time, but also took exactly the same editorial line. It was too consistent to be coincidence.

Then, during GamerGate, Milo Yiannopoulos exposed the existence of a secret mailing list which gaming journalists were using to co-ordinate their stories (https://techraptor.net/content/secret-game-journalist-mailing-list-gamejournopros-exposed).

This story never appeared in the mainstream media, but I thought at the time that it was very significant.

The existence of a similar level of email co-ordination between mainstream journalists would explain a great deal.
