The Hunter Biden debacle last week did very little to prove
that the Bidens are corrupt but did a lot to show just how corrupted mainstream
media has become.
With Twitter, Google and Facebook conspiring to suppress the story and the elite print and other media refusing to cover it, people got a glimpse of just how dishonest media is when it comes to stories that work against the agenda they are trying to sell.
This week also revealed that a reporter for the New York Times faked his anonymous sources for a story critical of the Trump administration – increasing suspicion about The Atlantic hit piece published earlier this fall.
All this proves that you’re never going to make media honest.
You could rely on a reporter having a conscience, only the lack of a conscience is one requirement for becoming a reporter.
The only difference between an octopus and a reporter is that the bleeding stops when the octopus lets go of you.
People who work in mainstream media must have been reptiles in their previous lives – only reincarnation didn’t’ quite strip them of all the reptilian attributes.
Major media’s role in society is to provide the public with information the public cannot easily obtain for itself.
A reporter is someone who travels around, gathering up stuff you can’t possibly have access to and feeds it to couch potatoes through the internet or the boob tube. The only problem is what reporters claim they see might not be what you see if you were where the reporter was when he or she saw it.
For the most elite media such as the New York Times or the Washington Post, reporters are more concerned about getting the right dinner jacket to attend posh events with politicians than they are in finding the truth.
The principle role of media in a democratic society is to go out into the community, find out what their concerns are, and then bring these issues back to the politicians to implement solutions.
Mainstream media seems to have reversed the order, taking instruction from politicians to manipulate the public. So, we get reporting about cops shooting blacks over and over again, creating a false narrative that there is a racist bias among cops. We see headlines talking about the spike in COVID neglecting to talk about how unlikely people are to come down with the virus or if they do, how likely they are to survive without major complications – this all fitting into the political narrative that the Democrats need to blame Trump for lack of response, when in truth, the governors of each state screwed things up.
The Biden story only ripped open the media curtain to show just how media really operates behind the scenes, as does the faked anonymous source story by the New York Times.
These things show just how dishonest media is and how media manipulates people for a particular political agenda.
Not everybody will get this. Many people are still spinning from the misrepresentation of facts media as spun like a web, calling Trump a racist with no evidence, blaming him for COVID, keeping people so scared they will vote based on lies.
But the events over the last year have finally revealed what many already knew that media is basically dishonest – which is why people are seeking alternatives, even if some of these are as hairbrained at the stuff we get on CNN or MSNBC.
The trust in media we had in the past is over, and perhaps may force us to reexamine its role in things like Watergate to understand this behavior is nothing new.
Some of us mistakenly believe modern media are crooks – a dishonest, unethical pack of savages with an inflated perception of their own importance. But it seems, media people aren’t even as good as crooks. You can bring a crook home to meet your mother and only have to worry about him or her stealing the silverware.
