Kansas Conservative Think Tank Launching Its Own News Service / LJWorld.com
Like many of the other “news” outlets for conservatives it’s a wholly owned organ of agit-propaganda for the Koch brothers. Back in the ‘80’s Ur Conservatives Paul Weyrich and the religious whack job founder of Christian Reconstructionism, Rousas Rushdoony, proposed a separatist movement for Chrisitian anti government conservatives: if they couldn’t get society’s institutions to agree with their Paleo libertarian and God Driven views then they would create their own parallel institutions, and that’s proceeded ever since.
The Koch brothers are fully on board with that initiative, and so we have think tanks, institutions, news outlets, PR and propaganda machines that match everything that the normal world supplies but with Christian Paleo Libertarian twists and spins. This is just another.
“Well we’ve had enough and we’re going to do something about it,” Trabert says in the video. “It’s called the Sentinel and its primary purpose is to hold media and government accountable.”
To counter that alleged bias, the Sentinel has hired two of the most distinctly conservative writers in the region.
One is Jack Cashill, a blogger and author whose recent book is entitled “Scarlet Letters: The Ever Increasing Intolerance of the Cult of Liberalism.” He has also written a book that espouses a conspiracy theory about the 1997 crash of TWA Flight 800.
The other reporter, Trabert said, will be Danedri Herbert, a former contributor to the Kansas City Star who also writes under the pseudonym Gidget Southway in a blog entitled insidekansasgop.com.
