News flash! All reality is
subjective!
Go to the
warzone and find out for
yourself, if you want a real dose of
reality.
And I think that it's very
fair to say that
all news agencies are
propaganda machines. It's just which side are you
producing propaganda for, hmmm?
I
think, when contemplating the
wonders of the big, bad
propaganda machine that resides in various portions of the
world, in various
incarnations, people tend to get a bit trustworthy with things. Just because the
BBC reported on the
oversight by NATO towards treatment of ethnic
Serbians by ethnic
Albanians in
Kosovo, people think that it must
also mean that their reporting on the ongoing
IRA conflict is
cool and
unbiased. Yeah right. Just because a news agency reports on one piece of truth does not at
all indicate that only
words of
truth shall spill forth in the future. It's all in the presentation to begin with.
Certain governments, and hence news agencies, are willing to discuss some topics and choose to
defer, and oftentimes
ignore, others.
Falkland Islands, anyone?
When you make a statement like that,
core, one just
might interpret it as some kind of anti-US ... gasp ...
propaganda!
Well,
core, my ancestrial
mate, maybe the
BBC is really the "British Bullshit Company", and the
CBC is really the, "Cocksucker's Bitch Consortium". Who really
cares.
Cynical is not the proper word to describe
CNN.
Tyranical is more like it. Tyranical in the sense that they dominate the
average person's senses with content of total bland idiocy. Cynical is a bullshit concept created by human beings. In nature, cynicism is nothing more than a protective state of one's own well-being. You criticize all that you cannot trust with your
heart and
mind, and thus stay
alive. The cynics were originally a
Greek school of
philosophy that were pretty much about finding
logic and
truth through
oratory. Cynicism is not bad from a
Darwinian standpoint, because it protects one from
harm. Namely from one's surroundings.
CNN is a
tyranny because it bombards people's thoughts with
false and oftentimes
trivial information, much like
Nazi propaganda. If you keep the person's mind off the
storm raging outside their
window, they'll feel safe, and they'll
trust you. But keep in mind, the Nazi's quit their propaganda once they were in
control. You know why? Because they didn't care whether or not the people agreed with them, they were still in
power. Much like how corporations will soon
quit propagandizing the populace with a
false sense of "trust". "Trust us, the
bottom line really doesn't matter, we're more concnerd about your
well being". Do you really think it'll be that way once private corporations are allowed to form their own city-states?
Japanese corporations already have
lifetime contracts for their employees.
I mean, really...
who cares?
