FINAL REPORT

 

__ROOTS of the "MSM on Q" Project___

In the fall of 2018, this anon started digging on what had been written about Q by the MSM. Found some posts in qresear.ch, but nothing systematic. In Jan 2019, posted the first of 12 reports detailing articles on Q: what was said, who was saying it, and which publications were most active. That first report detailed over 300 articles where Q was the main focus (not just mentioned in passing). Now there are 2000 in the database and many more not documented here, because I limited the search to English articles published either in the US, Canada or England. In the beginning, I seldom ran across foreign language articles. This dramatically changed after the ChristChurch mass shooting in March 2019. Now there are articles on Q from all over the globe in many different languages. As with American MSM pubs, these were - and are - full of derogatory claims, mostly unsubstantiated. During the first half of 2018, the aim was to write Q off as a larp. But on Aug 1 2018, the forces behind the MSM launched a nationwide war against Q, trying to create the impression of Q and those of follow Q as right-wing white supremicists capable of violent acts. After Christchurch, they tried to link Q with 8chan, despite the fact that shooters who posted manifestos on 8chan never posted on /qresearch.

 

When Q generated a long MSM list Q #2018 (Feb 2019), I used that as a guide, but also added Right Wing Watch and Media Matters. There are some MSM videos included, since that's the format favored by the Big Three networks: ABC, NBC and CBS. But only a few tweets, because the object was to track (supposedly) substantive material. Did include as an add-on one extremely important twitter thread by Praying Medic, where he tore apart the highly specious but widely cited claim by Yahoo Fake News in late July 2019 that one FBI branch had designated Q group as domestic terrorists (search on "praying medic" to find it in the article PDF's).

 

This is the LAST REPORT re MSM articles on Q

This is a good stopping point for several reasons. First, the number of articles continues to grow, making the project increasingy unwieldy for a single anon w/no staff. Second, the technical limits of MS-Word are almost exceeded; the file is becoming highly unstable. Third - and most importantly - the three original goals have now been achieved. Anons now know a lot more about who is writing, what they're saying, and which pubs who are pushing the MSM narrative the hardest (Wapo is the obvious leader with 150 articles; see below). We also know their tactics and how they have changed over time. But the most important thing we know is this: although they have been engaged in major league mudslinging since the very start, very little of it has stuck. Q is more popular now than ever, while the MSM's reputation continues to slide into oblivion. This anon will continue to track key MSM trends. Just won't be generating this kind of raw data.

 

TRENDS April-June 2020

From Jan to March 2020, the MSM articles on Q were pretty ''scatter-shot. By mid-March, the MSM started pushing fear porn very hard as part of their effort to unseat the current President. In April and May, they pushed Covid-19 to an extreme and derided Q's pushback on that narrative by characterizing Q followers as nut jobs bent on endangering the public by providing "misinfo" on the virus and related topics (vaxxing, HCQ, masks, projected cases/deaths). Of course, the exact opposite is true: it's the MSM that's been ruthlessly hyping Covid-19 ''disinfo.

 

Since George Floyd's death in late May, the press has pushed the fake boogaloo narrative in an effort to show that the violent activity during "protests" was from the right, not the left. Favorite tactic: juxtaposing Q and boogaloo hoping readers will think they are associated. Once the election primaries picked up in May, they tried to blackball any Q-endorsing candidate. In the past, they were able to get people fired simply by doxxing them as Q followers. This time around, several MSM targets won their primaries despite tons of negative PR.

NINE PHASES OF MSM COVERAGE ON Q (see Article Timeline CAP for more)

Phase

1 Q unknown to MSM: But they wonder if it has to do with "the calm before the storm" (Oct-Dec 2017)

2 Q is a LARP: MSM mocks Q, tries to make the idea sound silly (Jan-July 2018)

3 Q denounced: Mass attack launched Aug 1 2018; they try to say Q movement is dangerous w/weak evidence (Aug-Sept 2019)

4 Q assoc/w 8chan & attacked: MSM tries to associate Q/w fake bomber/synagogue shooter; also, fake science deployed to debunk Q (Oct-Feb 2019)

5 MSM frontal assault on both 8chan/Q: Each used to discredit the other after Christchurch & other shootings & attacks by Fredrick Brennan (March-July 2019)

6 8CHAN deplatformed on Aug 5 2019: Cloudflare ddos protection withdrawn, Jim Watkins subpoena'ed by House Dems (Aug-Oct 2019)

7 8CHAN replatformed as 8KUN on Nov 2: Focus shifts back to Q; attacks continue but it's routine stuff (Nov-Feb 2020)

8 Covid-19: MSM deep into Covid fear porn; says Qs put out misinfo/disinfo. After Floyd's death, tries to link Q's w/"Boogaloo Boys"(Mar-May 2020)

9 2020 Election: Q candidates for office panned by MSM but some win anyways - Q gets better, MSM gets worse (June-July 2020)

 

FUTURE Directions

As long as the traditional MSM remains dominant, most of the articles on Q will be negative. But a few cracks are starting to appear. So we may begin to see a turning of the tide soon - depending upon the timing of many unknown factors. Look forward to the day when we can compare positive w/ negative tallies.

Travis View said on Twatter that he comes here but says he does not post because he's afraid of shitting the bread.

(Doesn't make sense - shows how little he really knows about our comms.)
