Don't Trust the "News"
Who Can You Trust?
The short answer is...yourself. Do your own research. Come to your own conclusions. Be inquisitive. If you haven't been a reader, become one. But here is the caution. Most media is controlled. What does that mean? The responsibility of corporate media is to deliver the approved message. What is the approved message? You will know it when you see it. For example: <The COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective.> That's the approved message. Maybe you agree.
But most of us who are truth seekers have come to the conclusion that the corporate media is useless if you want to learn what is actually going on. Think of the difference between an advertisement for FORD and a review of FORDs in Consumer Reports. Can FORD influence Consumer Reports? Maybe. But CR is more likely to provide facts or opinions that FORD doesn't want. How about interviewing Dealership Service Writers on FORDs. Now you're talking. Interview FORD owners. Read the FORD annual report and quarterly bulletins. Now you're getting somewhere.
Our elected government decided to lie to us along the way. Woodrow Wilson can take credit for making false propaganda official US Government policy, enforceable by police and media. By the 1950's the CIA's Cord Meyer organized Project Mockingbird. Mockingbird's goal was to "Fight Communism" by controlling information reported by the media. Media outlets were happy to comply in those days and many journalists were on CIA payrolls. Cord Meyer was a neighbor and personal friend of the Washington Post's Philip Graham and his wife Katherine. Many in the CIA were chums from school or shared social circles with Journalists.
The CIA says that Mockingbird ended but the connection between official narratives and the media lives on. Obama staffer Ben Rhodes famously boasted of creating a media echo chamber to promote the Iran Nuclear Deal. It was easy because Journalists have become scarce and lazy, waiting for official organs to tell them what to report. The media only reports what the CDC says, not whether they are lying or not.
Let's face it. News merged with entertainment a long time ago and Big Pharma and other corporate sponsors pay the bills. They are not going to report on "the news" something that will hurt the advertisers.
