Mainstream media notoriously spins news to shape opinion that it will better conform to the government line. George Orwell described it thus:

At any given moment there is orthodoxy, a body of ideas which it is assumed all right-thinking people will accept without question.”

The onset of the internet changed everything. For the first time in publishing history the omnipotence of media is destroyed. Take away an audience addicted to voyeurism, celebrity news, sport, fashion, holiday offers and lifestyle issues and there is nothing left of real news media. That was the news that was.

How things changed over such a short period of time. As leader of the British Movement I was never out of the newspapers whilst radio and TV presentations were routine.

With amusement I recall boarding a coach in London. As I took my seat I found myself looking at a large photograph of myself in that day’s daily newspaper. Similar images of me had been shown around the world, television too. The interest was hardly earth-shattering: I and fellow dissidents had that week campaigned for the release of Rudolf Hess.

I recall a publicity gaining ruse certain to grab us high profile exposure. Prior to demonstrations, marches and meetings, we would post a Press Release to news rooms. Eureka! We couldn’t pay for the publicity our notoriety received in that evening’s TV broadcasts and next day’s newspapers.

The price we did pay was vulnerability and impotence. The hacks news stories shamelessly vilified us and our cause. In their content you couldn’t tell the difference between the Tory Daily Telegraph, Labour supporting Daily Mirror or Trotskyist Socialist Worker. The hacks’ names changed but the hate spiel was the same.

The smug palace scribblers knew that our newsletters couldn’t hope to answer them in kind. It was bows against the barons and for the gutter press those were halcyon days

Today, in terms of reach and influence we are 100,000 times more effective than we were during the 1960s onwards ~ but we are no longer newsworthy? The internet changed everything. No longer will you see mentioned in media the names of those campaigning for ethnic-European interests.

For the first time in history, the holocaust fraud detectives are the unmentionables. Taboo, the names or exploits of those who fight the ethnic-European corner. You never see mentioned a single British / European ethnic nationalist or their successes in what used to be mainstream media.

There was a time when I could have made the headlines simply by sending Press Release bait to News Rooms: “Nazi Mike Walsh Promotes Race Hate Propaganda.”

Today, such would be ignored. In the unlikely event hacks fell for it, the breaking story would provide me, or rather my truth book titles, with thousands of Google generated leads.
