Think continues working in the documentation for his next project, which will be related to the polarization of American society and the resurgence of anfar-right mentality. This new phenomenon is also spreading to other countries of the world. All the information is being achieved by talking with the protagonists of the news and experts who independently share their vision.

One of the most difficult and complex chapters to be portrayed objectively, was the incident of January 6, 2021, when the White House was stormed by far-right Trump supporters, such as the Proud Boys, which are being called to testify.

Members of the House Freedom Caucus helped plan Trump’s attempt to overturn the election.  They attended a meeting at the White House on Dec. 21, 2020 in which, at least, 11 lawmakers discussed efforts to spill the election resultsand helped spread false information, according to testimony and records obtained by the committee.

And one of the groups that drove this effort is the Falun Gong sect, related with The Epoch Times.Falun Gong, a religious movement embroiled in a decades-long conflict with the Chinese government, has become a political asset in the Trump era due to its long-standing propagation of communist conspiracy theories.

At the time, reputable media such as The New York Times has reported that The Epoch Times used fake accounts to campaign for Trump during the 2016 election through its company Beautiful Life. Moreover, after they spent about $11 million on Facebook ads in 2019, the platform banned them for violating rules on political advertising transparency.

In April, at the height of its ad spending, videos from Epoch Media Group counted about 3 billion views on Facebook, YouTube and Twitter, ranking 11th among all video creators across all platforms and outpacing all other traditional news publishers, according to data from social media analytics firm Tubular.

This engagement made The Epoch Times one of the favorites for the Trump family and a key component of the president’s re-election campaign. According to the Washington Post, reporters at The Epoch Times have received special access from the Trump administration: One America News and The Epoch Times were among the only media outlets with access to Georgia’s voting audience in the 2020 election.

Once thevote counts were published, the website questioned the legitimacy of the 2020 election (neither journalists nor Trump’s legal team have uncovered credible evidence of widespread voter fraud). They also peddle a number of conspiracy theories as the one they supported in 2018 with the“full rundown” of Spygatethat claims an Obama’s administration spy attempted to thwart Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.

There was great concern in The Epoch Times when Biden finally won the 2020 election. At the same time, to avoid trouble with Democrats over their earlier smear campaign against President Biden, Epoch Times executives decided at one point that they should keep a low profile internally and “drop the close relationship with Trump.”

The truth is, however, that January 6, 2021 gave the Epoch Times another chance.

Angelo Carusone, president and CEO of Media Matters for America, said that by exploiting the deep partisan polarization in U.S. politics and the long anti-Communist tradition of the American right, these media outlets, led by Epoch Times, have sought to link Biden and the Democratic Party to radical left-wing movements like Antifa.

Epoch Times pointed to a strong contender in the Democratic Party,an opportunistic rehash of existing conspiracy narratives – was characteristic of these outlets. “They’re not drivers, they’re not weaving new conspiracy theories, they’re amplifying what’s already out there,” Carusone said.

While the Proud Boys and QAnon have been punished by law, the Epoch Times remains at large. With the 2022 midterm elections in full swing, Carusone said, the intensification of conspiratorial messages in the Epoch Times’ output and its embrace of Trumpism could make them even more damaging to the United States.

Despite being banned from Facebook and unable to place many ads on the platform, The Epoch Times did not give up on other platforms and actively published hundreds of articles about the midterm elections on its website, including dozens of articles about Trump’s “high” approval rating (regardless of the actual situation).

In fact, in addition to obfuscating the midterm elections to attract Republicans for patronage, The Epoch Times and Falun Gong behind it appear to be undermining the American situation in even more egregious ways by opposing abortion and condemning homosexuality and feminism.

Hello Think

A blog is an abbreviated variant of the now-outdated phrase weblog, which refers to an online publication platform for written material. A blog often covers a specific topic or is informative, incorporates various media types such as photographs, videos, infographics, and interactive charts, and runs from 600 to 2,000+ words. Blog entries may assist you in increasing brand exposure, credibility, conversions, and income. Most significantly, they may assist you in increasing traffic to your website.

How do you write a blog article?

Now the most important thing is how to write attractive blogs. Here are 5 simple steps that can assist you in writing blogs that will be worth a read!

PLANNING

It is common for the complete creation of a blog article to take more than a couple of hours. You may spend many days or even a week “creating” a blog article, from the spark of an idea to eventually pushing “Publish.” It’s critical to spend those crucial hours planning and even thinking about your article before you publish it.

Topic: As a blogger, you must be able to write well on any topic, regardless of how dull it may seem. Blogging is much simpler if you have some interest in the subject at hand. Some entries will seem like a job, but if you have editorial power, pick topics that interest you.

Outline: Create an outline when you’ve decided on a topic for your first blog article. An outline is structured similarly to an essay, but with a call to action. Your blog article begins with an introduction, followed by body parts, and lastly, the conclusion. 

Research & Facts: The innate curiosity of many bloggers is what makes them exceptional at what they do. One apparent mistake is all it takes to destroy your reputation. If you’re just starting, publishing false material will severely damage your reputation and authority. Nobody is always correct therefore approach each source with the trained skepticism of a journalist. If you fall prey to a hoax or regurgitate widely disseminated disinformation, admit it immediately and be open about it.

HEADLINE

When it comes to crafting blog post headlines, there are two techniques you may follow. Some suggest that you should be as explicit as possible, while others advocate for a more abstract approach. If you choose to pose questions in your headlines, make sure the question is one that your readers will be truly interested in. Writing headlines for blog entries is an art as much as a science, and it deserves its essay.

THE WRITING PART

There are two methods for composing a blog article. You may either sit down and compose a full draught in one sitting or work on it progressively over time. There are no correct or incorrect answers here; only what works for you. Even if you work more efficiently in short bursts, aim to get as much writing done as possible in those sessions.

IMAGES

Images are an important component of your blogging toolset if you want to grow your readership. A well-chosen image might assist to lighten the tone of your postings and provide some much-needed levity. Diagrams, charts, infographics, tables, and other visual elements can assist your readers in grasping complex subjects. 

EDITING

Many people wrongly believe that editing just consists of punching through phrases that do not work or correcting grammatical faults. Editing entails seeing the complete picture and being prepared to sacrifice words for flow. This is critical for beginner or casual bloggers. If something doesn’t work, don’t be afraid to cut it and be brutal with your effort. Make each post the best it can be, benefit from the experience, and then move on.
