Have you heard of the Trusted News Initiative?

How does the legacy media collude to destroy independent voices by systematically repeating the exact same messaging? This is how. A hidden cartel of legacy media organizers behind the scenes agreeing on what to tell you and what to crush.

From the horses mouth (or other orifice), the BBC:

The Trusted News Initiative is a partnership, founded by the BBC, that includes organisations from around the globe including; AP, AFP, BBC, CBC/Radio-Canada, European Broadcasting Union (EBU), Financial Times, Information Futures Lab, Google/YouTube, The Hindu, The Nation Media Group, Meta, Microsoft, Thomson Reuters, Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism, Twitter, The Washington Post, Kompas – Indonesia, Dawn – Pakistan, Indian Express, NDTV – India, ABC – Australia, SBS – Australia, NHK – Japan.

TNI members work together to build audience trust and to find solutions to tackle challenges of disinformation. By including media organisations and social media platforms, it is the only forum in the world of its kind designed to take on disinformation in real time. Our most recent conference took place in London and Delhi in March 2023 – you can watch all of the sessions again here.

Until recently, the term “disinformation” was seldom, if ever, heard. Doesn’t it seem suspicious to you – like it does to me – that the powers that be are so terribly interested in making sure that whatever we hear or see is the “truth” (as they define it, of course.)
