News Corporations' Ignorance: The Folley of News & the End of an Industry
In a recent story: http://www.cnbc.com/id/100952247 CNBC explains something that should be pretty obvious, yet major news corporations are REFUSING to face reality to a point that they will let themselves die before facing the music.
The article takes a few stabs at why people don't read newspapers anymore & why people just skim their news sites instead of reading them in depth. It touches on the fact that people trust their peers more than news outlets these days. All the while not admitting what the real problem is. The PROBLEM: IGNORING REAL PROBLEMS
Sure, they'll talk about disasters & stuff like that. So what do I mean by "REAL" problems? Well, unless you've been sleeping under a rock (or actually believing the main-stream-media [MSM] up to this point), then you also know that there is a HUGE problem with Government. Not just the US Government, but Government in general. If you've been watching the MSM this whole time, you've been listening/watching MAJORLY watered down news. Mostly to make it all seem like Government is still necessary & is, for the most part, good. If you haven't been sleeping under a rock, then you might have come to the conclusions that a LOT of people in the world are coming to:
ANARCHY is not only good & moral, it is the only real freedom. At the very least, the surge in Libertarians has been even noticed by the MSM. So you've probably heard just the tip of the iceberg. When in fact, worldwide, people are overthrowing their Governments & trying to put in what they want. Unfortunately, that tends to be Democracy. But, as we saw in Egypt, Democracy is still tyranny. It's just that at least 51% of the people get what they want (49% can F@#% off).
It should come as no surprise to news organizations that the people don't like to read their garbage because the readers can plainly see the support for the powers that be, right in their articles. It's not hidden. It might be hidden to people who still think Government works, but that number is dwindling day by day.
In any case, it doesn't take much skimming to see that one does not want to read the articles in front of them. Open up the Drudge Report & see how many headlines make you roll your eyes. Click on them & see if you don't just want to slap the writer of the article. Today I saw one where the writer plainly says that Hillary Clinton might as well be "Madame President" right now. Who has any respect for Hillary Clinton anymore? After Benghazi, all noteriety & pull that she had with even Democrats that supported her had disappeared (as long as said supporters actually heard about Benghazi enough to know why it's important). So how can anyone talk about her as if she shouldn't be indicted & thrown in prison for high crimes & treason? Same with Obama. Same with Eric Holder. The list goes on & on.
But it isn't just Democrat touting authors who are blind to reality. Republican ones are just as bad, if not worse. They believe that all that's been happening puts the Republican party in a good light, just because Democrats are failing misserably. Yet, they fail to see that Republican politicians are siding with Democrats left & right (no pun intended). For crying out loud, there is a such thing as ChristieCrats! That'd be Democrat aligned citizens who've noticed how left leaning Chris Christie is that they've pretty much accepted him as one of their own, regardless of his "Republican" designation.
MY FAVORITE EXAMPLE OF THIS TODAY: can be found here.
The Kansas City Star reports that the actions of a rodeo clown were disrespectful when he dawned an Obama mask. Senators from both sides of the isle were passing harsh criticism of the person's actions. THAT is why we hate reading your publications. A man chooses to express himself politically, the CROWD GOES WILD WITH APPLAUSE & SUPPORT FOR THE WHOLE THING, & you report what Senators were saying about it. Really?!
Here's, in a nutshell, how I would've written that report:
A man at the Missouri State Fair chose to express his misery of the current state of affairs in Government by dawning the mask of a war-mongering treasonous tyrant of a man: Barack Obama. He appeared to also have a broom shoved directly up his anus as well. The man taunted a bull & asked the crowd if they'd like to see Obama run down by a bull. It should come as NO surprise that the crowd went absolutely insane with support for the man's understandable & well deserved protest of the acting tyrant in chief of the United States of Tyranny. He never did get hit by the bull, but the bull certainly came close. Much like the attempts made by a few of our politicians to impeach Obama have also been missing, rather than hitting. As the nation is getting further & further fed up with the Federal Government, it should come as no surprise that demonstrations like this will only continue. Likely coming to a head in an all out revolt of the Federal Government completely, should politicians continue to ignore the overwhelming will of the people they are supposed to be serving.
There, now THAT is some truth. THAT is the angle you should take with stories like that. Nobody cares what some idiot politicians think about the incident. We know they don't like what we do & say when we protest against them. THAT'S THE POINT! As if we'd demonstrate against politicians in a way that seems nice & puts the politicians we hate in a "good" light. No. Sorry. We hate our Government & YOU (News organizations) fail to comprehend this & capitalize on it.
Hey, but don't you worry. We independent journalists & activists will capitalize on this opportunity to take over. We will be glad to put the power of the TRUTH in the press BACK in our hands where it belongs. Because somewhere down the line, YOU (the MSM), got married to the Government & that makes you no longer a citizen. You are no longer one of us. And so we the people shall leave you little by little, like oxygen leaving the room. With nothing left but you suffocating on lack of truth.
