A Vignette That Illustrates the Power of The New York Times Mind Control:

Al Franken doesn't believe something unless it's in the New York Times, or in the Washington Post. 

Franken is the former comedian, former host of a jingoistic radio show on the defunct Al Gore-owned Air America radio channel, and former Democratic U.S. Senator from Minnesota pressured to resign by his Democratic Party colleagues because of a minor  sex scandal  ginned-up by right-wing media conspirators.

Here is investigative journalist Greg Palast, who since 2000 has specialized in uncovering and reporting on U.S. election frauds and stolen elections, describing Franken's refusal to believe in suppression of African-American voters' right to vote because those two primary organs of power establishment propaganda refuse to report it. (Why major establishment propaganda organs countenance, aid and abet the robbing of democratic rights from black citizens is a whole topic in itself. It's also behavior with long historical roots.)

For "liberals" like Franken, reality is defined by these bourgeois media organs at sit at the apex of the corporate oligarchic propaganda system.

For people for whom the New York Times is a Bible, something doesn't exist, isn't real, until the New York Times deigns to acknowledge its existence. The Times is well aware of this power it has over some people's minds, and exercises it daily.

The New York Times is scooped constantly by more honest media outlets, because there is much of reality that the Times (and most of the rest of the corporate oligarchy's propaganda system, otherwise known as "the media") wishes to keep secret. 

Sometimes, days, months, or even years later, the Times will finally "report," as if it's revelatory, as if it's "news," something that has been known for years. Sometimes it never acknowledges true facts.

Palast was speaking on the Jimmy Dore Show, "Jake Tapper’s Former Boss Reveals His Emptiness w_Greg Palast," posted on youtube.com March 9, 2019.
