This is what Big Media is busy doing. Going to Vietnam to interview John McCain's TORTURER...to ask if his version of McCain's imprisonment agrees with what McCain has said.
This is considered News at the BBC.
This is Big Media's idea of being "fair and balanced". To them, McCain's word and that of a Vietnamese TORTURER are equally trustworthy and valid.
Is it possible for them to more accurately demonstrate their "character"?
I don't remember Big Media ever politely interviewing the Abu Graib "torturers" to get their side of the story give it equal weight and validity as that of Cindy Sheehan or Code Pink.
Their Motto: "We manipulate; You do as you're told."
It's a shame you can't just shoot the bastards.

Wouldn't be worth the bullets! Your points are valid,of course,except I question how much they can actually manipulate.They mostly seem to just talk to each other,and others in their smug little chattering class.Just because its "public",doesn't make it popular.Hoopla doesn't equal substance.You may say I'm dreaming,but I find an odd comfort in what Churchill (I think)said:"Americans always do the right thing,after trying everything else." They are maddening,these mealy-mouthed,flakey cowards of the "Big" Media,but how many actually listen to them anymore? It is wise to remain vigilante against their lies. They do not own the means of communication they once did.We'll see...
ReplyDeleteDude, McCain's down by 6-8 points. That matters. And it's almost completely due to the "manipulation" of the "crisis" by the Media.
ReplyDeleteThey may not influence us, but they influence other people...you know, the ones who have LIVES, and tend not to have OCD about politics.
If the Media wasn't lying about Obama, the polls would be about 70/30 McCain.
That's a fuck lot of influence.
And who does those polls? Why trust them,while knowing how they lie.EVERY election cycle,conservative/Republican/whatever turnout is underestimated 5-10%,sometimes more.Understand what you mean re:OCD about politics,BUT...USSR,Cuba,etc. had "polls" saying how the "people" felt one way or another.Just saying "Media" isn't reality.Why talk about what Liars they are,then take their word about polls? I extrapolate judgements based on my own little world.Anectdotal,sure,but it's been more accurate than not,when results came in.I think there will be some surprises coming soon,as far as strategy,from Team McCain/Palin.They know how news cycles work,and their brevity in impact.Keeping my powder dry,just in case,but since a young lad during Reagan living in uber-lib capitol NYC,I learned not to trust "experts",which I regret since I believe titles should mean something,have validity.Who's to say it ISN'T 70/30 or 60/40? Fucking polls hired by the Big Media?These things do NOT bounce back and forth like "the polls" say.Bullshit.It's a pre-fab puppet show put on by drama queens.Maybe I'm wrong now,but don't think so.Current drama is focussed on asshole spin-meisters and media-whores,sound and fury,signifying...not much.I pray.
ReplyDeleteAm I a "victim" of the very Media Manipulation I'm decrying?
ReplyDeleteI'm really letting them get to me. I'm feeling defeated...and depressed BECAUSE OF WHAT THE BASTARDS ARE TELLING ME....
...even as I say they're big fat liars.
God, do I even read my own stuff?
Thanks for the good shaking. I needed it!
