ha ha, nice!
Because liberalism is a disease. It infects the host and drains that host of all rational thought.
Thus; our public school system explained.
When have they never HAD to be?
Party ownership of the print media
made it easy to manipulate public opinion,
and the film and radio carried the process further.
....... The Ministry of Truth, Winston's place of work, contained, it was said, three thousand rooms above ground level, and corresponding ramifications below. The Ministry of Truth concerned itself with Lies. Party ownership of the print media made it easy to manipulate public opinion, and the film and radio carried the process further. The primary job of the Ministry of Truth was to supply the citizens of Oceania with newspapers, films, textbooks, telescreen programmes, plays, novels - with every conceivable kind of information, instruction, or entertainment, from a statue to a slogan, from a lyric poem to a biological treatise, and from a child's spelling-book to a Newspeak dictionary. Winston worked in the RECORDS DEPARTMENT (a single branch of the Ministry of Truth) editing and writing for The Times. He dictated into a machine called a speakwrite. Winston would receive articles or news-items which for one reason or another it was thought necessary to alter, or, in Newspeak, rectify. If, for example, the Ministry of Plenty forecast a surplus, and in reality the result was grossly less, Winston's job was to change previous versions so the old version would agree with the new one. This process of continuous alteration was applied not only to newspapers, but to books, periodicals, pamphlets, posters, leaflets, films, sound-tracks, cartoons, photographs - to every kind of literature or documentation which might conceivably hold any political or ideological significance. When his day's work started, Winston pulled the speakwrite towards him, blew the dust from its mouthpiece, and put on his spectacles. He dialed 'back numbers' on the telescreen and called for the appropriate issues of The Times, which slid out of the pneumatic tube after only a few minutes' delay. The messages he had received referred to articles or news-items which for one reason or another it was thought necessary to rectify. In the walls of the cubicle there were three orifices. To the right of the speakwrite, a small pneumatic tube for written messages; to the left, a larger one for newspapers; and on the side wall, within easy reach of Winston's arm, a large oblong slit protected by a wire grating. This last was for the disposal of waste paper. Similar slits existed in thousands or tens of thousands throughout the building, not only in every room but at short intervals in every corridor. For some reason they were nicknamed memory holes. When one knew that any document was due for destruction, or even when one saw a scrap of waste paper lying about, it was an automatic action to lift the flap of the nearest memory hole and drop it in, whereupon it would be whirled away on a current of warm air to the enormous furnaces which were hidden somewhere in the recesses of the building. As soon as Winston had dealt with each of the messages, he clipped his speakwritten corrections to the appropriate copy of The Times and pushed them into the pneumatic tube. Then, with a movement which was as nearly as possible unconscious, he crumpled up the original message and any notes that he himself had made, and dropped them into the memory hole to be devoured by the flames. What happened in the unseen labyrinth to which the tubes led, he did not know in detail, but he did know in general terms. As soon as all the corrections which happened to be necessary in any particular number of The Times had been assembled and collated, that number would be reprinted, the original copy destroyed, and the corrected copy placed on the files in its stead. In the cubicle next to him the little woman with sandy hair toiled day in day out, simply at tracking down and deleting from the Press the names of people who had been vaporized and were therefore considered never to have existed. And this hall, with its fifty workers or thereabouts, was only one-sub-section, a single cell, as it were, in the huge complexity of the Records Department. Beyond, above, below, were other swarms of workers engaged in an unimaginable multitude of jobs. There were huge printing-shops and their sub editors, their typography experts, and their elaborately equipped studios for the faking of photographs. There was the tele-programmes section with its engineers, its producers and its teams of actors specially chosen for their skill in imitating voices; clerks whose job was simply to draw up lists of books and periodicals which were due for recall; vast repositories where the corrected documents were stored; and the hidden furnaces where the original copies were destroyed. And somewhere or other, quite anonymous, there were the directing brains who co-ordinated the whole effort and laid down the lines of policy which made it necessary that this fragment of the past should be preserved, that one falsified, and the other rubbed out of existence. |
Liberalism is just another eternal cosmic sickness that shows its ugly face every now and again; it has to be seen in order to be recognized the next time it returns.
IMHO
The left does not produce news. The product is propaganda, political propaganda sold as news with a dash of sugar to make it palatable.
Missouri’s compromised, the truth will prevail that Officer Wilson acted within the Law in the justifiable killing of the thug but the Pravda presstitutes will find a new bullshit story to gin up their base...
The Ferguson Police Chief reported as soon as possible giving the officer’s version of what happened, and offering the information that the officer had been roughed up. The basic information was there from the beginning, the press just didn’t bother to cover it.
No Police Chief is EVER going to hand out extensive information regarding an ongoing investigation. And if he did, he could be hauled into court and would lose all credibility with the people working for him. There was also political pressure not to release the video of Brown stealing the cigars; that’s one piece of information they had no legal reason not to release, and every reason to want to get into the public discussion.
No information regarding an ongoing investigation is released without serious consideration, meaning not much is going to be available for quite some time. We live in a society of “innocent until proven guilty,” and the police are responsible to protect the innocent by not allowing witnesses to be influenced and by not compromising the jury pool.
Plus, witholding information from the press is one way to weed out people who aren’t valid witnesses but are just looking for attention. If a potential witness knows things that weren’t in the news paper reports, the odds are much better that they know what they’re talking about.
You are exactly correct. The Ferguson case and the Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman cases are classic examples of the mendacity of the old media. They primarily lie by excluding information that does not support the myth that they are trying to build.
To be more generous, they ignore evidence that does not fit their interpretation of reality.
CNN and Don Lemon will never do a 5 day 24 hour show from the South Side of Chicago!
Yep.
Waiting patiently for CNN and the JustUs Bros (”Revs” Al and Jesse) to show up at the South Side of Chicago...to expose the (black on black) violence that takes place NIGHTLY.
Not holding my breath.
Their story never made a lick of sense; that a cop had just shot a kid in the back without good reason. Their primary witness was a nasty looking, lying street thug. The video of the store robbery was on the news the next day.
Why would you side with such despicable people? Why would you immediately accept such an unlikely story?
What is wrong with these people's minds? Are they incapable of rational thought? How do they survive being so wrong so often? It must be a crappy life.
They are anything but intelligent. Most of them are ignorant
And I’ll be waiting for CNN to come clean and reveal who it was that violated Officer Wilson’s HIPAA rights by disclosing his confidential medical records. The penalty for that is a $50,000 fine and a year in prison.
Classic. This should be broadcast far and wide as to why we cannot trust our medical records to the the government.
They *will* be used politically.
