Over the last decade and a half I have noticed a startling and frightening trend. It's gotten worse with every single year and it has reached a critical and dangerous point. I am speaking of course about the American news media. The American news media has become a fountain of distortions, indoctrination, and misinformation. Americans are being literally mind fucked every single say by news outlets all across this country. We are being controlled and conditioned and many of us don't even realize it.
The majority of major news outlets in America don't report. They distort. Very little of what the news media does involves actual reporting. The vast majority of what they do involves conditioning your mind to accept a certain narrative or viewpoint. It is a very deliberate process designed to keep you under control. They will distort a story and spin it in order to perpetuate a certain ideology. The process has been going on for some time now and it follows a very set pattern. While news outlets like Fox News are clearly the worst of the worst, they are by no means alone.
The next time you watch the news pay attention to how the story is presented to you. Initially you'll get a journalist or news anchor reporting the story. Almost immediately after the journalist reports on the story he or she will defer to a panel of consultants and contributors who will give their OPINIONS on the story. This is a deliberate tactic designed to weave a certain narrative. Almost all news networks do it. They'll have lawyers, doctors, retired veterans, and other "professionals" offering their opinions on an issue. This is done to lend credibility and weight to otherwise useless opinions.
Ask yourself simple questions. Why do I need someone to tell me what to think about a story? Why should I give a shit what Sean Hannity or Al Sharpton or Don Lemon thinks about the story? Why can't I make up my own mind about how I feel about a story? Why am I listening to this panel tell me what they think? Do they think I cannot think for myself?
The act of distorting not reporting is not new. That said though, today it is completely out of hand. We have networks and news outlets literally conditioning people to accept certain ideals and viewpoints. We have news outlets fleecing the public by feeding them false information, half truths, and useless opinions. It has become rampant and out of control and the result is a blind and completely ignorant populace incapable of critical thinking.
When you watch the news, do so objectively. Trust nothing. Cross reference what you hear and see. Don't rely on one news outlet for all of your information. Get your information from multiple sources and CHECK those sources. You owe it to yourself to get to the truth and if you leave it to CNN, MSNBC, or Fox News you will be blind and misinformed.
The American news media does not report. It distorts. The result is a massive mind fuck so powerful it's crippling the minds of the American people. It's frightening. It's out of control. With each day it gets worse. It's time we start asking more from the American media.
