RE: Let's Move The Fight From Fake News To Everyday Media Bias

in #media8 years ago

Maybe the media isn't really controlled by right wing or left wing or centrists, have you ever thought it is controlled by those who just want to keep people divided?
You've heard "United we stand divided we fall"? Well right now I know of no country in the world which isn't divided either by politics, religion or race issues. There is no strentgh in that. For example in Latin America you can see right wing and left wing both wanting to make re election lawful in spite of the constitution and the funny thing is where there is a left wing leader the right wing is totally against it and where there is a right wing leader the left is totally against it. Better said these people don't know what they want they are just being led. They are just being pushed to want what the other side doesn't want.
Perhaps the global elites want it this way, having us arguing and fighting while they are moving towards their goals without us even knowing it.

That I believe is likely the case. Though @ashlyns is correct that this stuff likely helps with their ratings. Also right in a lot of people seek confirmation bias from sources that will agree with them so they can look smart, feel smart, and "feel" informed. Going to sources that say something other than the narrative they wish to believe messes with this "feel" good goal.

Today "feelings" are more important than truth. (sarcasm)

Though I've been aware of this long enough I've watched people start paying attention to bills and things and then suddenly the news begins pounding relentlessly on some mindless topic, or speaking against a group (religious, racist, or just plain old bigotry) and successfully distracting the public.

So yes... "divide and conquer", "divided we fall"

The narrative to me today looks like frantic scrambling to find out why their narrative that has always worked before to get what they want is failing.
