Sound the alarm, but don't expect the children of the enemy to come to our aid.
Have done it many times. We’re not their audience. I wouldn’t watch one of those channels for a million dollars. So they dont care that much.
Besides, as long as Dancing with the Stars and America’s Got Talent is on, the masses are fine with the propaganda.
People could find out the truth online, but they’re too busy with Candy Crush.
Fart in a windstorm.
I don’t believe many journalists would change their minds. But could they be influenced somewhat, especially since they’ve now moved to another level of propaganda? That I think is very possible. They know they aren’t there to give their opinions, and that they’re to reflect the beliefs of others, too. They also know that they aren’t investigating situations, but picking who is “innocent” and who is “guilty” according to their narratives, and not waiting for the evidence, but rendering a judgment right away. And they know they’re doing this to establish what is “common knowledge,” as in, “it’s common knowledge that Ahmed Mohamed was arrested for making an ingenious clock because some bigoted teachers and police think all Muslims are terrorists.”
I believe that there are a lot of Americans who would instantly “get it” that the media has completely disregarded objectivity and a commitment to fairness and justice, and that they are rushing to judgment in case like the Ahmed Mohamed case, and more serious ones like the Trayvon Martin case. Yes, that’s nothing new, but it’s gone to a new level. It’s not yet to the level of totalitarian propaganda, but it’s moving in that direction.
And I believe many Americans have noticed. When something happens, a person naturally has questions, and we also know that we shouldn’t rush to conclusions. Yet here the media obviously are rushing to conclusions, and at the same time, they try to cast asking reasonable questions and being skeptical into bigotry.
So while the journalists themselves are fine with what they’re doing, I believe they must feel that in these cases they are more vulnerable. They only thing they have in their favor is the power they wield to broadcast and publish so they can basically establish lies as truth, but they don’t have absolute power. They aren’t state media, but commercial, and their opponents can’t be thrown in prison, but can still speak out.
