'Democracy dies in darkness' is the slogan of billionaire owned Jeff Bezos' Washington Post, but you would never have guessed it when reading some of the verbal diarrhea coming from his employees. I'm not even going to call them "journalists" and after going through some of the revolting headlines I don't think anyone will disagree.
Just imagine your 12 year old self reading some of these headlines. I don't know about you, but I was rather a gullible fool back then and had this weird mentality that when it's being told by people wearing suits on TV, it must be true right? That's how they sucker people in you know, no sense teaching an old dog new tricks, got to start as young as possible which is why many countries have state propaganda specifically designed for their nations' children. But before we digress, let's start of with WAPO's very own favorite topic: Democracy.
By "elites" they mean the likes of Bezos himself btw for anyone who didn't catch on. I can't believe they didn't at least edit out their slogan for the day when they published this one. I mean, can it get any more contradicting? Ohh wait, it can:
Alright, now that we got that "democracy darkness" joke out of the way, let's see how dark the Washington Post actually is by looking at their constant push for war. At least on this next one they didn't try that "wars for democracy" angle and got straight to the point: Illegal wars that bring about mass murder makes us richer.
In order to avoid war, we must wage war. Amazing 200 IQ level idea! What's with the Washington Post's obsession with Iran btw?
But war with only Iran is not crazy enough, let's drag China and Russia into the WAPO war equation as well:
Pfff skeptics, what do they know, of course we will survive a nuclear apocalypse on all four corners of the world. As a matter of fact 'Democracy survives nuclear apocalypse' is our new slogan.
We do what we do in Syria to bring "democracy" to it's people. So letting those people starve, freeze and get crushed to death when disaster strikes is the democratic thing to do.
Huh, little Germany thinks they can have sovereignty and an independent foreign policy? We'll show them.
An unexpected result of Saudi bombings and US enforced blockade which brought about a literal genocide in Yemen: Men are cleaning and cooking. Oh praise the lord, the men are finally doing some house chores.
Drone bombings are a good thing because:
No they wouldn't be, they are a violation of international law and cause predominately civilian casualties. If not then the Obama admin. wouldn't try to hide reports and have civilian deaths caused by drone bombings labeled as "enemy targets." "During one five-month period during January 2012 to February 2013, nearly 90 percent of those killed by drone strikes were not the intended target, according to The Drone Papers. But civilian bystanders were nonetheless classified as "enemies killed in action” unless proven otherwise."
So, this is what they had to say about Afghan civilian deaths caused by US drone bombings:
It was just an anonymous "horrible error" during warfare you guys, it can happen to anyone. But if it happens with any other country then it's "murder by the head of state."
Now, some might say that calling this comparison hypocrisy is being way too harsh. After all, even though it's the same media, different authors will write different things. OK I hear you. So here's the same author, from the same media in the exact same year on the exact same topic:
Washington Post employees are "understanding" European politics by talking to European musicians. I wonder if this is that same guy who got an expert geo-political analysis from Ja-Rule after the September 11 attacks?
Damn you China, I only eat and wear things because of their luxury status which the peasants can't afford, now what am I supposed to eat instead of slimy fish eggs?
Work hard, playtime is cancelled, work some more. Now thou art truly blithe.
Well now, that was quite the roller coaster of idiocracy. At least Bezos didn't use his media to lobby on behalf of his own benefit in controversial topics.
