I don't get it... honestly, I just don't understand how this works.
It's like someone has stopped the world and replaced it's residents with strange resolute children who can only pick one
of two sides of a situation. When it comes to the mainstream media -a trade that regularly reminds its flagging customers
that they carry a neutral position on everything, they seem to be the captains of this divisive ploy.
In the US.
Hillary Clinton is deemed the best candidate for the Presidency and the only other person in the race is a reality TV guy
who owns hotels. Donald Trump is elected as President and the media instantly deliver negative news about him and those
around him since the election began.
The majority who chose to put him in office -possible customers of the waning MSM, are continuously insulted for making
what the mainstream media believe is the wrong choice.
He's a bad man, a bad orange Russian spy who doesn't like people abusing the US system.
In the UK.
Former Prime Minister -David Cameron adheres to his party's manifesto and asks the country via a vote, if they wished to
stay in the European Union. It was close with those wishing to remain (16,141,241 votes. 48.1%) and those who wished to
leave (17,410,742 votes 51.9%).
Those wanting to leave the EU won the vote and again, the mainstream media jumped on the notion that another referendum
should be organised because they believed the UK public didn't really know what they were voting for.
Even at the time of writing this, so-called Journalists, political pundits and 'influencers' appear on national television and
newspapers with vague -yet dire, warnings that the British public made the wrong decision.
Maybe they all did vote poorly, maybe Trump is bad for the US and maybe leaving the European Union was a stupid idea,
but what does it tell you about the state of an industry that has been altered from delivering balanced information into a
political force that plays on a certain global narrative?
One suggestion is that the people don't listen to the biased rhetoric of the media anymore and possibly, another is that there's
a gulf between those who live in the bubbles of Washington DC and London.
Can it really be that those who work in the media business are risking their livelihoods on a point of view that goes against a
civilised manner of outcome? Some day, Trump will have moved on to be a former President and Great Britain will once again,
have it's sovereignty back. Where will the media business go to when that time arrives?
With the UK's decision to go it alone, there's never any information about what lies ahead for Great Britain's future except
dark, turbulent days of misery. There's no upbeat talk of opportunities in trade, commerce and improving the lives of those
who took part in the referendum. There's just juvenile mewling about having another vote.
In Trumpland, newspaper columns and minutes in televised interviews are taken up with silly name-calling, accusations of
non-crimes and an over all insinuations that those who voted for President Trump are uncouth racists who like to shoot before
they think.
In my humble opinion, the ruling classes have lost their grip on the power they believed they once held. The system that was
devised to benefit the rich and oppress the masses is still working and keeps the public's eye on the what they're supposed
to be looking at, namely everyday requirements.
But the Elite, the power-merchants who see the owner of the boiler as more important than those who shovel the fuel for it
to operate, took a step too far with their selfish global desires and the residents of this globe waggled a finger to say enough
is enough.
Does the mainstream media believe that those who use their word-skills for their own ends will maintain their lifestyles
when everyone turns to social media instead of the ink and the television screen?
When it comes to today's affluent, powerful classes and those who serve them... they're not sending their best.
