I'm glad you brought up the main...Thanks, Jani! I'm glad you brought up the mainstream media's pandering to Cheney when he isn't even a remote factor in gov't anymore. He's a has-been and a sorry one at that. And yet the media clamor and give him a voice! Why? Because the media feasts on discord, real or imagined, just to sell papers.<br /><br />And these are the same jackals that want to browbeat us into dissing any conspiracy template as an authentic means of conducting business in this country. <br /><br />The sad truth is journalism has been on a downward spiral the past 30 or more years, since Wall street share value became pre-eminent. Quality journalism is now rare or out the window, all that matter is what sells, i.e. can drive investor share prices higher.<br /><br />When one examines the whole sordid information matrix in the U.S. one finds out it is largely a misinformation matrix base on money - and then these miscreants have the nerve to assert bloggers are bringing the quality of information down!<br /><br />Of course, this is why so many Europeans mock us and insist we are like small infants - because our media and their overclass honchos seek to keep us in an infantile thought state. In this sense, conspiracy - for example, is way too mature an idiom for them to accept. Or more accurately, to allow us to accept. <br /><br />This is why the atomization of sources is a good thing, and if it forces the mainstream to be more accountable - all the better. <br /><br />If they 'go under', so be it. They ought to have allowed more diverse voices and given better podiums, a larger audience.Copernicushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16699554476216140859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301096656497422535.post-45516900705443547702010-01-13T08:55:57.107-08:002010-01-13T08:55:57.107-08:00These are terrific blog pieces! I hope many people...These are terrific blog pieces! I hope many people read them. I especially like how you tie the Kennedy assassination to a political toxin that the powers-that-be are trying to keep concealed as the conspiracy it is. I knew form the time Oswald got shot something stank.<br /><br />An apsect of more recent media miscarraige you omitted is how they've taken to publishing every nonsense syllable uttered by Cheney and Palin.<br /><br />Way too many scribes have covered Cheney and Palin in recent months, allowing them to dispense tightly controlled pieces of information, which journalists then trumpet as "breaking new"s. <br /><br />And yes, the trend is unprecedented in modern day American politics. I guess you can't technically call it "propaganda" but it certainly is directed stenography and to that extent undermines genuine journalism.<br /><br />Those media that keep publishing Cheney and Palin brain farts need to go under, go bankrupt and never come back. I wouldn't even say let them rest in peace!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11864292327259837089noreply@blogger.com
