I believe what they mean by "urgent collective multi-stakeholder action is needed" is that they must silence the "random loudmouths on social media" - more censorship is likely what they seek, rather than "TELLING THE TRUTH or FAIRLY PRESENTING BOTH SIDES."
They are dishonest as hell, clearly bought and paid for - may their voices grow quieter and quieter, as those of "random loudmouths" (thank you, Jeff 😉) increase in volume!
It's always the same: "it can't be us elites, we're never wrong, therefore it must be those stupid, ignorant, uneducated deplorable plebes spreading misinformation they got from someone." The "someone" of course is always someone who is not onboard with ruling class' agenda of forever wars and climate scam.
Yeah, and their ideas of how to "promote media information literacy" include such brilliant ideas as "don't do your own research" and "the top Google results really are the most reliable."
When you say you’ve done your own research for vaccines, in particular, they call you a “Google” expert. It’s an insult, of course. Ironically, doctors use Google for information as well, so . . .
Actually, I read books and research papers. Not officially trained but I know how to read. Working through "Vax/Unvax" currently. This crap needs to stop now! I now believe my autoimmune disorder (acquired in childhood) is vax related. At that time there were fewer shots given, by an order of magnitude.
I saw that a few days ago and I thought he did a great job being very nonchalant and not stressed by the interview. He was also good at asking questions and forcing the interviewer to define his terms and explain what he meant. Very effective.
Yeah, “don’t do your own research”, but if you do, be sure and use Google. It’s amazing to me though, that while many have realized the media is all lies, they still trust google.
Google went into a contract with GlaxoSmithKline some 7-8 years ago to create bio electronic medicines. They censor and hide content. Most people don’t know this and are always shocked when I tell them and provide the links to prove it.
Not since 2021 - DUCK, DUCK GO is my "go to" SE now! I remember when Google hit the SE scene back in the late '90's--wish I had bought stock in it back then!
Their next bandwagon bit of propaganda will probably be this slogan, "YOU CAN TRUST A.I."!! Yeah...right...."garbage IN...garbled garbage OUT" (you know the thought just popped into my little pea brain--all of the "garbage" that Bob Peterson and Miss Kackles spew forth--perhaps they're BOTH A.I. functionaries that we've been seeing on MSM "reports"! How would we REALLY know the difference??
Nah, their problem right now is "OMG AI is untrustworthy and unsafe!" (by which they mean, "It's actually really hard to stop AI from repeating the majority opinions that we don't like and don't want people to realize are the majority")
I love the buzzwords of "ecosystem " etc. At work they talk about silos and cross pollination. I just laugh and ask "What are we? Wannabe farmers?!" Such a joke. 😄
My oldest son told me 2 weeks ago when we met in Philly that the "corporate culture" now is ludicrous--everything is "SO P.C." and you cannot even compliment a female associate on her appearance or you'll be termed a mysogynist -I empathize for him and all "clear headed" people who aren't of the "elitist" ilk!
I'd be a little cautious on assuming that. Yes, *technically* they aren't enjoined from doing it now, but multiple courts have judged them "likely to lose" (part of the requirement for the injunction existing in the first place) so at this point, continuing to censor would be creating further evidence against themselves of deliberate unconstitutional action, for when the courts eventually rule against them.
So ok, maybe some of them don't really care about the courts and constitutionality and just want to "get away with it", but balancing that out is a tendency of public servants to be risk-averse, and this is a bunch of individuals not one collective hive-mind. If a court has shown signs of ruling against you, the reaction from most is likely to be "pull your head in", lest they risk getting personally exposed over it and lose their career and pension and so forth. And those who genuinely think they are "doing the right thing" by "protecting people from misinformation" are likely to be rethinking their position after the court rulings.
Ranchers up here get something like $1000 per month, PER TURBINE!! There are hundreds on many plots of land!! Lucky ranchers, who needs to bother with wheat or cattle? 🤷♀️
This is similar to how we got fluoride in our water. Fluoride is a toxic byproduct of making aluminum. In the 60s, they were using it in the mental hospitals to keep the inmates placid. Now, it’s in all of our water. You have to have specific types of water filters to pull them out.
The last time I was captivated by a person, place, or thing and restlessly awaited the next episode was NEVER!
I get more excited over Jeff’s daily piece than a competition border collie twisting through pylons on an obstacle course and jumping into the arms of his handler.
When the article comes out at 7:30-800 a.m., I'm
in the clear. Any later, I have to turn my phone off and bury it in the farthest corner of the backyard so as not to hear the ding notification.
It's devotion time, and the chime would throw me into a spiritual battle akin to David and Goliath.
I can hear it now. I am standing in front of God. “ Well done, my good and faithful servant, but you needed to chill with Coffee and Covid; where's Jeff? I know he's here!”
I've saved this compliment for a while now, but today seems a good time to express it... in the context of which sources the "real" people of this nation (those who keep it going day to day) go to for trusted, vetted, accurate and comprehensive information, I look forward to reading C&C in the same way I used to look forward to tuning in to Rush each weekday morning. The brilliant, insightful and humorous news and comment factor is definitely the same! As is reading the comments here, akin to listening to Rush's callers from across the fruited plain. Unfortunately, the experience doesn't last quite as long as a 3-hour radio program, and the difference in format means I cannot consume C&C while working on my truck, fixing my house or cleaning my guns. But in any case, it's been a welcome, encouraging and much-anticipated part of daily life for several years now, and hopefully for many more. Is there a term equivalent to "Dittohead" for us C&C enthusiasts?
You nailed it! I didn’t know it until you expressed the words, but yes, I look forward to C&C just as much as I used to look forward to Rush! Sure do miss him, but thankful for this outlet (and a local morning radio host that is pretty great too on a lot of things)
Dana, my solution to that dilemma is to get the devotion time in earlier. First things first, ya know? It helps that I’m an early riser and in central time so I rarely see C&C before 7:30
On a recent return flight home from overseas, I was frantically refreshing Substack as the plane rose into the air, knowing I would soon lose my connection to earth. “Come on Jeff! Post it!“ I kept whispering under my breath… And then it was there! Literal seconds before I would have been trapped on my flight from LAX to PDX without C&C. And he didn’t even make fun of portlanders that day.
For some reason, the first season of True Detective was the only show I ever obsessed over. Planned my Sunday nights around it and then HBO at the time had a bulletin board-like page and people from all over would discuss the episode online. For hours. Other than the NFL and random South Park episodes, I haven't been a big TV watcher since Saturday morning cartoons as a kid. Liked Deadwood and the Sopranos, but it was not the 'oh I can't wait until the next episode' kind of thing. Cancelled HBO and the NFL for wokeness and now I have no idea what is even on anymore other than have some friends who are into Yellowstone. I am a fan of detective novels, but it was so weird how much I loved True Detective. Second season was lame though and that was the end of that. TV watching supplanted by C&C and other substacks now!
My last “can’t miss” show was Miami Vice. Friday nights. Mid 80s. That show captivated me. I probably would think it lame if I watched it now, but I never will because it lives large in my head and I don’t want to screw that up.
My little sister was totally IN LOVE with Don Johnson, she was a teen and her bedroom walls were covered in the Teen Beat centerfolds of Crockett and Tubbs :-) Ah, simpler times....
I disagree with Jeff on some issues but I've never required someone agree with me on everything. In fact I would be very suspicious of someone like that.
Ditto. Been doing so for years now. Cancelled all subscriptions to everything starting about five or so years ago. Then “cut the cord” three years ago.
I think I have sent Coffee and Covid to 50 or more people including just two today. My “republican” cousins whose son-in-law was just diagnosed with leukemia and one whose doctor told her to get the new jab. WTH!!
Funny, my sister was in town and asked my mom if she could take her bag of newspapers (she is part of rapidly shrinking base of the lefty KC Star subscribers) that she accumulated in her recycle bin. She has a friend with a bird cage who had commented that newspapers were getting harder to come by so my sis offered to bring her some. So yeah, my mom's newspapers ARE literally bird cage liners today.
" ...the largest block of people would now rather get their news from Coffee & Covid than from The New York Times... "
...count ME in.

THAT's my favorite - "don't do your own research" - which is, of course, just another way of saying "trust us".
Screw that!
Yet another euphemism for censorship.

... which is the one thing most likely to make a sane person run in the other direction.
Remember when Barry Obama told us that the problems today was "there's just too much information available"?
Barry Sortero? That one?
Barry Subuh, world class faggoty ahole.

"Promote media information literacy" is exactly what does need to be done. Just not the way they have in mind.
Pierre Poilievre would be a great example of how to approach "journalists" in general. He is brilliant in this video.
https://youtu.be/TTwnJtLe35A?si=rDglLMoNuf6Mm0oY
This was awesome. He showed the reporter for the idiot that he was.
Great video! Thanks!
That was great!
Simple: 2 big ones vs. 2 small ones (or maybe none at all). MAN-stuff, you know.

Where are you getting your intel, TB? If you're correct--that puts a whole different (positive) spin on the AI phenomena!!
Surely AI would be smarter than either of them. Or both together.
I love the buzzwords of "ecosystem " etc. At work they talk about silos and cross pollination. I just laugh and ask "What are we? Wannabe farmers?!" Such a joke. 😄
So glad I’m long retired. Don’t think I could put up with what I read about goes on in today’s workplace

The gods of ' HR ' must be smiling broadly (sorry - did I say "broad" ?) down upon all of this bs.

Great comment, Annie! Really made me laugh. Gotta love corporate speak.
Count on the censorship to escalate as long as the ban on the injunction is in place.
Yeah glen beck has come out and said he’s cutting back on advertising bc that’s censorship.
How convenient. they will get to censor probably through the next election

Speaking of bought and paid for, the Newspaper Association is currently going to congress for more money, you know, to stay in business!
Planned Parenthood & Newspaper Association should NEVER be funded by govmint.
Funding News Assoc. smack of govmint media aka Pravda.
I just read where the White House, not sure why the headline didn't say Biden, wants 23 billion more from Congress. Wish that supply would break.
Neither should NCR (known more widely as NPR) . You know what the C stands for.
NPR… you mean national propaganda radio?
Seeking an airline-style bailout ? No surprise there.
Airlines, car manufacturers, Obama’s failed energy program (solar I think), need I go on?
Wind turbines were Barry Boy's brainchild while in office (of course, he's STILL "in office").
Ha! Yes he is!!
Ranchers up here get something like $1000 per month, PER TURBINE!! There are hundreds on many plots of land!! Lucky ranchers, who needs to bother with wheat or cattle? 🤷♀️
Such eyesores, bird traps and radiation generators. Geez.
And they are broken all over the US🙄🙄
And the blades are not recyclable.
not kidding. Read somewhere they are being ground up and put into food. Probably not more insane than grinding up insects and doing the same.

You had me at Rush, fruited plain, and cleaning your guns. Well said! You have articulated the First and Second Amendments brilliantly.
Guy White, well said! I totally agree!
Well said ‘Dittohead’!!! Miss my ‘teacher’ - GOAT!
You nailed it! I didn’t know it until you expressed the words, but yes, I look forward to C&C just as much as I used to look forward to Rush! Sure do miss him, but thankful for this outlet (and a local morning radio host that is pretty great too on a lot of things)
Miss him so much. Aside from Jesus Himself and maybe CS Lewis, Rush is the person I most look forward to meeting in Heaven!
Rick Stacy?
I really miss Rush.
I believe God helps our illustrious leader write C&C, so he understands. 🙂🙏
Thank you. I believe so, too.
Dana, my solution to that dilemma is to get the devotion time in earlier. First things first, ya know? It helps that I’m an early riser and in central time so I rarely see C&C before 7:30
Same here! Devotional time first followed by C&C... by then I’m enjoying my third cup of coffee and ready to face the day.
You are correct. I listen to the Daily Audio Bible by Brian Hardin right after I wake up, usually around 5-6 a.m.
However, I must lay there like a lazy, lethargic slug until 7ish.
If Jeff posts at 0730, I’m golden. If not, it's a battle! Lol. But you're right.
Falcon Crest! Dallas! Lonesome Dove!!! Come on Dana! -get with the program!

You went for the big 70’s, 80’s and 90’s guns. Lol

Bongino's great - I simply run out of time to listen in often enough. Like him - trust him.
Listen to Bongino's podcast on Rumble when getting ready for work 50-55 mins and seems to go by fast
Zerohedge.com is also a fantastic news source.

He's a self-righteous POS.
He is to Schwab as Spock is to Capt. Kirk ( no offense, Mr. Nimoy ).
Spock was Kirk's "alter ego/conscience" - the creep Harari HAS NO CONSCIENCE!!
yup. he's so gross. "CBS This Morning" bills themselves as a magazine type show but they never miss a chance to push the globalist narrative.
how about he is to Schwab as Beria is to Stalin?
C&C is my only daily source for news. I get news from a lot of different sources as well, but for a daily news, round up, it’s only C&C.
