I've been scouring the internet in search of something I'd dared to guess would happen
if the day ever came when the average Joe in the street began to think that mainstream
media were reporting information with an agenda laying parallel with the story.
Most everyday reporting offers little to stimulate their readers/viewers and tends to lean
on 'sit-at-home-and-believe-we're-in-charge' and 'Buy stuff' because we know better than
you.
I know this may seem crazy-talk to most, but I can assure you, subscriptions and the monies
made from selling newspapers do not pay the bills... advertising is the name of the game.
So if the politics suit businesses, then these companies need to get their word out.
They need you to accept a certain concept.
But... with the recent decision to leave Europe by the United Kingdom and now the US election
that's underway, it seems to show that the masses are rebelling against the Kool-Aid they've
been given -via print and the boob-tube, and now these media outlets know they will have to
come up with a better plan.
Let's say Trump gets in, how are the US citizens going to perceive the media in the future...?
The end-game isn't the election for mainstream media, their jobs will have to go on after the
crap-game is over.
So, is it time that the mainstream media slip away from the columns that are lined up on one
side and sneak over to the other? Will the 'Russia is doing it' trash hold out any longer?
When the dust settles and if Donald Trump becomes President, it'll be interesting to see if the
media have swapped sides and offer meek smiles or whether they'll stand fast and these hacks
will begrudgingly take their medicine.
I have been saying for a while that if Trump gets elected, if I'm reading the situation right that is when the riots will begin. At that point, the media will use twisted coverage to prove how right they were all along and how evil and dangerous we (Trump supporters and white people etc., you know, those irredeemable masses) are. I think what we have seen so far in riots and attacks against whites and Trump supporters, is nothing compared to what we will see if he actually gets into office.
I could be wrong, perhaps they will peacefully see themselves as outnumbered and the battle as lost and go quietly home and wait for another day.. but I'm just not seeing it at all. I think the situation is such that they won't stop.
Brexit is still being fought, with groups trying to get it voted on again etc. But there weren't any riots over the loss . So if we mirror U.K. then it won't be as bad. Thing is.. we haven't mirrored the U.K. in this election. People have been literally attacked for wearing Trump shirts, having pro Trump bumper stickers and going to his rallies. The situation here is actually more volatile than it was in the UK.
Most people think once Trump wins all will be okay. But honestly, I think that is when it will just be beginning.. hope I'm wrong..
