The Ninth Most Visited News Web Site (I'd never heard of)

Submitted by ban nock on Thu, 08/12/2021 - 9:42pm

Is disturbing, not in it's links, I clicked through to a few, which are standard right wing fare. What rankles is that the web site is founded by an anonymous source. There are no adds, no contact link.

It's like Drudge, just a list of links to articles, but no hint by the link where the articles are at. Before you click you've no idea if you are headed for a legit source or a lot lot worse.

So I asked myself why someone would update a web site all day for no ad revenue, no recognition from his or her peers. What is the motivation? Right wing propaganda I guess. I bet someone is paying for it, though it probably doesn't cost much.

It's called Citizen Free Press https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizen_Free_Press, wiki entry is very brief and very new. No ads suggests all the internet advertisers have no interest, kryptonite. Yahoo and Duck Duck Go won't even link to it.

I often get pissed off at portions of the left. I'd list which ones but trust me there are a few. As nutty as the left is, the right side of the radio dial is about 10 times more out there, and they have a heck of a lot of hard core followers.

Well, they do supply news you can't find anywhere else.

@CB

For example:

Apparently, at the Cyber Symposium in South Dakota yesterday — Mike Lindell (the Pillow Guy) was all set to show the world iron-clad evidence that China hacked US voting machines during the 2020 elections and switched the majority of votes from Donald Trump to Joe Biden. Lindell was even offering a $5 million dollar prize to anyone at the event who could disprove his claim.

Lindell had paid millions to gather the evidence he was holding, only to discover he had paid the money to Right Wing hucksters. At the Symposium, the lead investigator Lindell had hired confessed that he could not verify the data in evidence actually proved China had hacked the election. Everyone was so surprised. They were certain this was the real deal! Lindell's evidence turned out to be as worthless as shredded foam stuffed into a pillow case.

Cyber Expert On Lindell Team — There is no proof China hacked election

August 12, 2021

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. — The cyber expert on the “red team” hired by MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell now says the key data underpinning the theory that China hacked the 2020 election unveiled at the Cyber Symposium is illegitimate.

Mr. Lindell said he had 37 terabytes of “irrefutable” evidence that hackers, who he said were backed by China, broke into election systems and switched votes in favor of President Biden. The proof, he said, is visible in intercepted network data or “packet captures” that were collected by hackers and could be unencrypted to reveal that a cyberattack occurred and that votes were switched.

But cyber expert Josh Merritt, who is on the team hired by Mr. Lindell to interrogate the data for the symposium, told The Washington Times that packet captures are unrecoverable in the data and that the data, as provided, cannot prove a cyber incursion by China.

“So our team said, we’re not going to say that this is legitimate if we don’t have confidence in the information,” Mr. Merritt said on Wednesday, the second day of the symposium.

Mr. Lindell delayed a scheduled unveiling of his evidence on Wednesday at the symposium.

He had offered $5 million to any in-person attendee who can disprove his claims.

The offer is no longer on the table, Mr. Merritt said.

I thought some of their stories were pretty good.

CFP has had explosive growth - for a reason

Maybe having to do with their willingness to deal with news that the MSM will generally not?

CFP is now ranked in the top 1000 of all US websites (#916) and top 100 (#75) of News and Media sites.

Apparently, I'm not alone in finding it useful - appreciate the pretty much unfettered comment section - which have become rare to the point of Endangered Species listing. Used to use Yahoo comments fairly frequently but they have 'temporarily' suspended it for going on a year and a half now while they 'make improvements'...

Note that CFP focuses much more on straight news rather than opinion, often from local or specialized sources that are never going to get national MSM play.

Going back through a couple days' history on my computer, here is a sampling from my recent viewing - what do you think? right-wing delusional paranoid ravings? stuff that might actually be worthwhile knowing about?:

@Blue Republic Yes, most of that was not

@Blue Republic Yes, most of that was not real informative and some was downright disinformation. Like that doc speaking to the board of ed meeting using ancient discredited disinformation about covid and vaccines. That stuff kills people. Same with the Laura Ingram story. The two woke stories, segregated classrooms and no grad requirements in OR I'd already heard of.

I'm still extremely sceptical of everything I read on the left, but the NYT/Wapo aren't this bad yet, and often they have articles I find nothing wrong with.

'Discredited'?

@ban nock @ban nock

By whom, exactly?

...downright disinformation. Like that doc speaking to the board of ed meeting using ancient discredited disinformation about covid and vaccines. That stuff kills people.

'Disinformation'?

*What*, specifically, of what he said are you referring to?

More about Dr. Stock, his claims, responses and criticisms here on Heavy.com.

Overall, I don't see anyone there refuted his central points. Maybe to a limited extent about mask efficacy, but the question, regarding masks in schools should be 'effective at accomplishing *what*?'

Kids are not themselves at risk and any adults who desire vaccination have had ample opportunity to get it. If the vaccines are as effective as was continuously claimed they would be then vaccinated people shouldn't have anything to worry about *anyway*. And can, in any case, mask up if they want to.

We have been told continuously (and idiotically) that we have to "beat the virus" - implying elimination. Aside from the fact that "the virus" is now an ever-expanding range of virii, there is the issue that Stock raises: that there are numerous animal reservoirs for the virus, so unless you can eliminate it in humans and a whole range of other animals - white tail deer, for example, it is *never* going to be eliminated (by us, anyway) and we essentially have to learn to live with it.

His concerns about ADE (antibody dependent enhancement) are shared by Dr. Bridle - who might know a little about vaccines as he is actively involved in vaccine development and runs a lab largely devoted to such work: https://sites.uoguelph.ca/kenneltocure/dr-byram-bridle/

A second emphasis of the lab is the study of host responses to viruses. Specifically, efforts are being invested into understanding the mechanisms underlying virus-induced cytokine storms. We have identified a critical role of signaling through the type I interferon receptor in the negative regulation of an extensive network of cytokines. Notably, we have also discovered that cytokine responses to viruses are often very different between females and males and are seeking to understand why.

Dr. Robert Malone - a leading pioneer of mRNA therapeutics including their potential application for vaccine-type applications also shares Stock's and Bridle's concerns on ADE and believes we may actually be witnessing something like a worst-case scenario of it unfolding among the fully-vaccinated.

"This is the vaccinologist's worst nightmare" (July 28, 2021)

View on Rumble

Any disinformation on Covid/vaccines, etc. coming from the likes of CFP pales in comparison to that from Big Pharma, CDC, FDA, Tony Fauci and the MSM. As does the body count.
