MSNBC Russell Brand Controversy And Scandal Of Covid-19 Vaccines

Publish date: 2024-04-03

MSNBC Russell Brand Controversy and scandal were discussed in detail about fake propaganda over Covid-19 vaccine immunization.

A video of comedian Russell Brand went viral after he aired on Real Time with Bill Maher. He defended Fox News against accusations of bias, claiming that liberal-leaning MSNBC was equally to blame for promoting “propaganda.”

The program aired on Saturday evening, and the tape was extensively shared on social media, primarily by conservatives cheering Brand’s remarks.

Brand contended that MSNBC and Fox News were virtually the same, both peddling partisan misinformation, and cited NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden and Wikileaks founder Julian Assange as outstanding examples of trustworthy journalism.

Brand said, “It’s disingenuous to claim that the biases are exhibited on Fox News are any different from the biases exhibited on MSNBC, I’ve been on that MSNBC mate it’s propaganda.”

His remarks were aimed at MSNBC political analyst John Heilemann, who was present on the broadcast.

The comedian then claimed that both networks were “mouthpieces for their affiliate owners in Blackrock and Vanguard,” two controversial investment companies.

Finally, Maher and Mr. Heilemann intervened, accusing Brand of establishing a false comparison between the networks.

Mr. Heilemann told Brand, “You don’t actually know anything about any of these organisations you’re talking about, You went on MSNBC once. Big f*cking deal.”

Brand was asked to give facts that MSNBC has done anything mirroring Fox News’ regular amplification of President Trump and MAGA Republicans’ 2020 election conspiracy theories.

He reacted by citing MSNBC’s “ludicrous, outrageous” criticism of podcaster Joe Rogan’s pressure that ivermectin was a successful Covid-19 therapy, alleging that the network was “deliberately referring to it as a horse medicine when they know it is an effective medication.”

However, Brand was wrong. Ivermectin is utilized in animals and people, with advocates calling it “horse paste,” and many of those supporters reported getting their medications from feed stores during the epidemic. 

While a good anti-parasitic in humans, Ivermectin has been demonstrated in studies to be ineffective in treating Covid-19.

He also showed footage from 2021 of MSNBC anchor Rachel Maddow falsely explaining how Covid-19 vaccinations operate. 

In the video, he reiterated the myth that vaccination could entirely prevent Covid-19 infections. 

It is untrue; immunizations lower the chance of life-threatening illnesses. She eventually admitted this in the same program.

According to court documents from the Dominion Voting Systems defamation case against Fox News and other conservative media characters, the network’s top stars have labeled election conspiracy “total bs” and “mind-blowingly nuts.”

Fox News founder Rupert Murdoch confessed in a deposition that the network’s broadcasts “endorsed” the charges.

Toward the end, Brand managed to win over the Los Angeles audience by praising Senator Bernie Sanders.

To tremendous applause, Brand questioned, “Didn’t you just listen to Bernie Sanders, who plainly, legitimately believes in this country and believes change is possible, but is bound by corruption, is bound by the lobbying system?”
