Portland Protesters Have First Day in Court

[BIAD]

Meh ..... take em out back an put a bullet through their heads .....

I can see that Dait's suggestion is certainly tempting due to the mainstream media's
reluctance to admit to their deliberate ignoring of the Wikipedia email leaks.

This has happened before when a particular narrative that MSM enjoy is threatened
by another view of reality from -what the standard Journalist sees as a 'lesser' type
of news reporting.

Of course, there are supposed fake news websites that propose that their stories are
created as a form of comedic sarcasm, a tongue-raspberry at the establishment's manner
of gathering information. Now it seems the mainstream media have latched onto these
sites as proof that social media is a poor conduit for reliable news.

Imagine belonging to such ivory towers... to exist in an environment where the only
need to gather information is for the simple task of reinforcing one's own lifestyle.

If we put the vital aspect of advertising revenue to one side for a moment, many of
us must have come across certain headlines in newspapers and on television that have
the effect to intrigue us enough that we desire to know more.

And when the programme or periodical is investigated further, it's found that the story
bears little semblance to what the headline suggested. In the cyber-world, they call it
click-baiting.

So now, it looks as if a concerted effort by the minions of the mainstream media moguls
have decided to ridicule such practices on the internet and imply that this trickery only
goes to show how less-honourable this kind of publishing is.
Pot-Kettle.

The standard media is on the bones of it's ass at this point, they've been seen by those
who are willing to look, that they tend to fawn around those of wealth and people who
the establishment deem have status.

It's credibility is being lost for the sake of keeping their jobs and because of social media,
their chickens have come home to roost. Most internet users frown on the recent behavior
of CNN, NBC and the many other alphabet news-outlets.

For the average person in the street -that such establishment mediums believe they needed
to exist for, they were initially 'forced' to deliver questionable accounts to promote the
advertising companies that pay their salaries.

Then after a length of time -and with the increased dilution by would-be Journalists riding
on the back of the idea that it's a comfortable occupation with little accountability, it was
noticed that there was very little blow-back from such reports that had a bias or a particular
narrative that favoured the business-paying agenda.
Which means that any private or occupation-benefiting opinions can also be nurtured.

Now we have 'Presenters' A news item today tends to come with a 'correspondent' or
'expert' who supposedly translates the account into simpler terms for the viewer or reader.
Within this explanation is the agenda... the chosen narrative that shapes the average person's
perception of the world.

It's because social media information gathering is a threat, nothing more. Journalists
couldn't give a fig for what happens out there in the real world unless one of their own
is in peril. They live off the carcasses provided by the outcome of an incident or event
and believe their skill of adding their own salt to the meat is what makes them important.

If social media becomes more pronounced and at this moment, it seems that that it is
certainly favoured over the bland, upper-middle class news outlets of the establishment,
then I suggest we will also see skulduggery from the establishment that will equal the acts
performed during 'Brexit' and the recent US election.

I would hope that 'alternative' news sites will strive to set-up disciplines and conduct that
are agenda-free and politically unbiased, if they have not already done so.
Alex Jones reckons it's a war for your mind.... I think he's not far-off from the point.
