I’ve said this time and again, but worth repeating:
When ever I watch (rarely) or read the fake news I wonder, “What Bullshit are they trying to pass off now?”
There’s ALWAYS a reason for everything with these people.
It is the NARRATIVE they’re pushing.
The idea that they simply tell you what happened in the world today is nonsense.
Here’s a few things to note:
1. They leave out a ton of important things, usually because it proves some narrative they’re passing false.
2. The use words and emotions, body language etc. to paint a picture. Ex: “Trump angrily tweeted”.
I remember how Tim Russert used to interview democrats versus Republicans: dems: He would lean back in his chair, spread himself out, smile, and let them answer at leisure. Reps: Lean forward, pull his arms in tight to his body while tightly holding his notes, scowl, and ask the questions in an almost never-ending staccato.
Try this experiment: Turn off the sound, and watch how the Host interviews the Guest, when they show them in the screen together. Or just headshots when they ask questions. Body language and faces can say so MUCH!
3. They always have an angle for you to follow. They use so-called experts to hook you in or get you to believe.
4. The experts they use are often virulently partisan, but are introduced as non-biased intellectuals, government officials or some scholarly intellectual.
So why am I telling you this? You probably already know it.
Well, I just like to repeat myself every chance I get about these filthy slobs!
The use words and emotions, body language etc. to paint a picture.
Perfect example of that yesterday when Jessica Tarlov was on. Any time the host pinned her the look on her face turned to utter disgust, and she immediately went into a non related diatribe to run out the clock...
