Good one, Laz...
So very true. Thank you for your outstanding essay, dear Lazamataz!
Wow! High praise, coming from you, sweetie!
Once more into the breach. I hope you all enjoy.
Yep. It's straight out of Alinsky's Rules for Radicals. And, if you like, straight from its devotee, the Father of Lies, the ole Devil.
As I exited the courthouse, I noticed that all of the major local TV stations had their reporters, cameramen and satellite trucks situated outside the courthouse with all cameras focused at the building door.
Exactly at noon, 12 "protesters" (all of whom were court unionized employees) appeared. They lined up off camera and then proceeded to walk in a circle around the cameras and past the Courthouse door, each carrying a protest sign they had just picked up (about unfair treatment by the county). As they walked off camera, each "protester" picked up a different sign and went past the door again. This continued for about a minute, when the camera men indicated they got the footage. That's when the protest immediately stopped, the signs collected and many of the "protesters" went to a local cafe to get lunch.
Of course, the groups leader stuck around to be interviewed by the reporters on site.
The entire event was staged, with the active participation of the local media.
On the local news that evening, the "protest" received complete and detailed coverage, including comments from the anchor person about the huge protest at the courthouse.
More proof for my tagline.
Thanks for your kind words!

I’ve noticed this in my area as well. They follow the same line up and formula too.
I just watch to see what they’re trying to throw on the wall next.
Not all of us are nearly as stupid as the elite would like to believe we are.
Unless you're employed as a human cannonball- then it's 'once more into the breech'.
Good piece- and one of my...well, 'pet peeves' is too soft a phrase.

It’s no longer “the media” ... it’s the Ministry of Truth.
I've been playing a lot of Total War: Empire, and when you go into first-person mode and you have opened a hole in the fortress wall, when you command a brigade to charge through it, the Englishman commander will yell, "Into the breach, m'lads!!!!"
breach (brch) n. 1. a. An opening, a tear, or a rupture.
I'm doing it right.
But that you for your kind words about how the piece was good and appropriate and how there were no grammer or speling errors and especially how there were no run-on sentences like when other places who do writing have these awful run-on sentences which combine several different points or even paragraphs into one which is against the rules featured in Strunk and Whites 'Elements of Style' which was one of my favorite books in college and helped me learn how to write so gooder.
