All news outlets, by necessity (to grab attention), will resort to sensationalism and emotionalism. In today’s type of “sound bite” visual world-—they would not get any sizable readership if they did not resort to this tactic.
Shaping perception-—is a natural result of anything you hear. Some news—like Drudge vs. Huffington Post, will give you more “truth” than not. It is all in degree. YOU have to sort out the information in the world. NO ONE can do it for you-—make your mind understand the truth—except your efforts and your choices. Don’t expect any one or news organization to make it possible to just soak in what they tell you is the “truth”. Live—be active—and yes, see what both sides are saying and then actively pursue the truth.
Your job, like Michael Savage states, is to look at all news as a cynic—not “accept” anything as “truth” and do the hard, time-consuming work as a Breitbart would. Work. Research. Read ideologies—understand philosophies, especially Marxism and Dialectical Materialism, so you understand the “direction” that all the “forces” in the world are forcing us into.....
Finding truth—is never as easy as just listening to any one person or “one” news outlet-— and can’t happen if you never understand Classical philosophy (the underlying philosophy of the USA).
What ALL news outlets have always done—is work on the emotions—to eliminate the intellect (Reason) and get you to “think” a certain way.
Breitbart-—understood all of this—and ideologies and philosophies—that is why he was eliminated, because he was effective at getting people to understand the “truth” as he knew it—which was aligned with the truth of the Founding Fathers and in opposition to the One World Marxist view of human nature.
Man, I miss your posts when you are absent. You truly get it more than anyone I "know".
