Preface
It's a shame that the majority of news/infotainment providers fail to look for informative news of importance or even research any further than the recommended top stories supplied by the AP and Reuters. Stories aimed at emotion rather than enlightening information. The mainstream media is a business and it’s founded on building and retaining an audience to expand their advertising revenue. Yet a series of crimes, deceptions, evasion, destruction of evidence, corruption, is handed to them and media bias prevents them from exploiting the truth even for financial gain and ratings.
Interesting how the art of the deal works though isn't it. Trump calls any media outlet and they thrive on his presence because coverage drives revenues. However Hillary Clinton is fawned over by the mainstream media and only showed up for one interview on FOX news Sunday with Chris Wallace. They’re not real news anyway right? I wonder if Wallace had to submit his questions in advance for approval by the Clinton team. I never saw a heads up to know when to watch and I’ve not seen it ever re-aired. I thought I’d see excerpts from that interview played over and over again but it never happened! Are they forbidden by some pre-agreed terms? They love to play the same clips over and over even if they’re unrelated to their discussion but I saw nothing. It’s was like some kind of secret interview, it happened but none shall speak of it. Thanks you YouTube.
CSPAN is the only place to really see who said what in our nation’s capital these days and most people don't even know what it is. The Cable-Satellite Public Affairs Network is the camera in the room, in the government, the house and the senate. It’s about as close as you can get to what’s really going on. MSNBC, CNN, FOX, ABC and the rest of the alphabet networks get stories straight from the Associated Press and Reuters, which owns the Associated Press. Having others who haven’t actually done any real observation hunt down information to support predetermined opinions is lazy and creates a justifiable sense of dishonesty and distrust of the media. Remember Sheppard Smiths show with all the people sitting at large touchscreen computers and note that for all the money invested in the set and the people they’ll only talk about two or three topics in an entire hour and come back the next day with the same thing. It’s just opinion and lacks useful information.
Those who spend their lives in the make believe world of TV depend on it to pay their bills and we’re only going to get the product that they think will keep the targeted consumers coming back. The target audience are those under 35 because older consumers are less likely to be manipulated and want to keep their cash. The human brain isn’t even fully wired until about the age of 25 and we’ve been programmed since childhood to be consumers. We were raised watching flashy commercials with upbeat music, meaningless videos with bright colors accompanied by witty remarks, laughter, and people jumping around like contestants on a prize show. All to make the viewer think it will make them happy too. Children are so easily manipulated.
The nation has been under siege for quite some time and the media in its many forms is the tool that has been used because the most efficient way to fundamentally change the country and its laws is to manage the message via the mainstream media and social networking. Eventually old ideas, values, and morals will be eliminated because, well, because we all die at some point and those with a monopoly on communications will replace our value system with the all “new and improved” system. Our enemies also have something called patience and history has shown that a movement can outlast a generation or two.
This is an age when the major media outlets can and do manipulate the importance of events. They show short often unrelated file footage, streaming all sorts of information and disinformation, related or not, on various often distracting banners with their group of celebrity writers and strategists that get paid to hang out and teach us what to think. Rob Reiner is now being called a political commentator! Think about that. He’s a meathead! He was a meathead liberal in All in the Family and he’s a meathead now. Reiner’s stuck in Hollywood’s socialist socialite 60’s. And Greta Thunberg, the 17 year old child climate activist, daughter of opera singer Malena Ernman actor Svante Thunberg, will now assume her role as an expert on CNN’s new panel on Covid 19, Corona Virus, or some have referred to it: The Beer Flu. The family has even written two books together. She's accepting awards as if she were a hero yet she’s just a very wealthy and angry little girl.
Do you suppose this young girl has been brain washed and manipulated by her celebrity elitist parents to push their own agenda on the world stage?
Aside from the current distraction I’ve noticed that most people don’t care about half the issues that are being pushed as the most urgent by the studios in New York and L.A. because they have different ideals and lifestyles. Such a shame that so many rely on being taught, preached at, and treated like sheep by a very few that use multi-million dollar megaphones owned and controlled by those most likely to benefit from creating our perceptions of the world. “The Big Corporations.”
Just a side note: If you watch a news source that says what you want to hear you need to try another source just to be on the safe side.
