Yikes. I feel like an asshole for this but there really isn't any other way to respond to this.You're missing the point - the relentless propaganda machine that is the globalised mainstream media has simply shape-shifted into a new nemesis that's design to mould the way we behave, the way we think, the way we spend - the way we live. It worked then and it's working again now.
I know it might make many people feel 'privileged' and 'special' to really conform to an a very loud, needy, obscure and dubious take on intellectualism that is the medias really haphazard, often mislead and sometimes simply incorrect take on any actual objective report (journalists are not trained statisticians - they are given templates by editors about how any story should be covered, simply omitting any facts that don't suit their agenda. Usually, there's no shortage of dramatic value either). May I remind you, the 'news' from it's inception was never designed to be a 'voice of reason' or truth - it was originally designed to give economic insight regarding the financial markets back in the 17th century. Not long after, for whatever reason, the financial broadcasting was layered with socio-political coverages designed to promote political policy that a paper was in allegiance with on a dual paradigm. Believe it or not, that nearly every single newspaper around the globe still reports according to a political affiliation and incentive on the left-right paradigm is still true to this day
PS telling yourself you're smart because you read and act like a wannabe upper-middle class yuppie and tell other people they're idiots because their point of view isn't the loudest or most heavily funded, doesn't actually make you smarter, it just usually means while you're sitting cross legged at starbucks, sipping your latte, reading the latest the guardian updates, that you're well on your way to mastering the art of smelling your own farts. That's all![]()
