They surely do now publish everyday now everything corona related on their fake news networks , "science experts" and "fact checkers" spitting their daily rubbish .
Most of the time, it's just official press-releases re-jigged to look like factual-based opinions. This way, the daily newspaper
or broadcasting outlet can maintain a 'flavour' of its own and like a particular website or drinking establishment, retain patrons
who prefer a certain way of thinking.
These press-releases cover many subjects of course, not everything is political. A new style of automobile must be advertised
and a company-favoured breakdown of the vehicle's attributes can go a long way to improving sales. But just reprinting the
new car's aspects doesn't entertain -and ergo trick, the reader or viewer into a possible purchase and so by having someone
in the newspaper business explain the vehicle's merits is believed to work better.
It's strange isn't it...? my son needed references for his first passport and a Journalist -who'd never met my son, gave his
okay on the document to acquire the travelling-book. This chap's signature and credentials are deemed by the UK Passport
Control and Home Office of high regard and trustworthy!
When I first obtained employment at the newspaper company, it was as a labourer. When emptying trashcans, cleaning toilets
and humping deliveries into the building, one discovers that such a position renders one practically invisible.
I'd deliver music albums to a Journalist's office and the next day, I'd remove them -still wrapped in their posted-packages, from
his wastebasket.
There was no record-player in his office, he'd just rehashed the review that came with the vinyl record from the music-producing
company and it showed up in the newspaper!
Mockingbird is real, but in many instances, news-outlets just repeat information from certain media sources deemed reliable.
Twisting stories to lean to a particular opinion of a newspaper then occurs and this then dilutes the realities of the original report.
So I'd suggest if a Government agency wished to 'poison the well' of public discourse and influence it, one would only have to
target the major news-outlets where their reporting cascades down to more local information channels.
Think YouTube political podcasts!
What shakes me is the haughtiness that the media system still carries, a vision of being more astute than their customers and
believe their failing antics are still successful. They offer judgements derived from movie themes, they place political individuals
in roles of 'good' and 'bad' guys. Race and sexuality are posed as important chess-pieces on the board of ratings simply because
they believe it somehow garners new customers and retains old ones!
I think the ethics of Journalism are something that should be held close to the heart, a conduct based on honesty and accuracy
that we all should strive to. But today's media have sadly sailed too-close to the Advertising Department and taken on their
duplicitous ruses to obtain consumers.
