As the saying goes, the difference between the New York Times and the old Soviet Pravda is that Pravda readers knew they were being lied to.
To circumvent the Soviet mainstream media, dissidents created what they called the "samizdat," their word for the clandestine copying and distribution of literature banned by the state. To circumvent our mainstream media, conservatives have created their own samizdat, an unorganized network of blogs, public forums, news-aggregators, online publications, talk radio shows, citizen-journalists, and legal monitors such as Judicial Watch, a truth force that one Second Amendment blogger aptly called "a coalition of willing Lilliputians." Despite repeated attempts by Big Tech to thwart the samizdat, the internet has given the Lilliputians unprecedented reportorial power, and social media — Facebook and Twitter most prominently — have given them an ability to distribute their message in ways Soviet dissidents could only imagine. It was the samizdat that carried Donald Trump to victory in 2016 and, barring massive vote fraud, will carry him again in 2020. Dan Gainor of the media research center calls in to break some of this information down.

Nearly three-quarters of Texans live in regions with very low COVID-19 hospitalization rates, according to a new analysis from the Texas Public Policy Foundation. The data show that fully 72% of Texans are in Trauma Service Areas where less than 7% of hospital patients have lab-confirmed cases of COVID-19, including Houston, San Antonio, and Austin which are all under 5%. The Dallas/Fort Worth area has a 6.3% hospitalization rate. We speak with Dr. Ben Edwards of Veritas Medical about these recent reports.
