Join the freeking club, I remember Walter Cronkite and Edward Morrow. When our beloved media NOW spreads misinformation and lies by tweaking the truth and leaving out facts. Take for instance: Nicolas Sandman. The main stream media demonized this kid, but he never did anything wrong. The Media NEVER brought up they were taunted by the black extremists group that was race baiting. Nope.
It's fairly obvious that the MSM are not interested, nor even aware of the plight of the average citizen. The MSM will spread the good word to the citizens, and Hollywood will dance and sing for their kings and queens.
Many will be convinced that all is well in the kingdom, and thus, never challenge them. The elite of the elite. Lemmings watching in good faith, until one day the light bulb switches on...
In the half mile ride to their media buildings and back, the Talking Heads have quite a myopic view of the world. They don't appreciate the long term consequence of certain policies or,
the poisonous rhetoric that they inject into the corpus of Western communities. All the while, there are new challengers, waiting to replace any nation that becomes economically or socially bankrupt.
Unfortunately, with the most serious of threats the West is facing from aggressive, newly empowered foreign actors, they might as well be working for the enemy in their arrogance.
Some have fought in wars on the ground in Korea, Vietnam or Afghanistan, or, federal agents fighting communism or those wishing to usurp and harm the West. They must be deflated, confused, and possibly even resigned to oblivious attitude of those around them.
The worst outcome is reserved for citizens that are preoccupied with optics rather than reality. With their guard down, they talk a good game, until caught with a right hook. Just as Canada has declined rapidly, especially in major cities like Toronto, America is facing the crossroads and MSM isn't interested in providing the facts. In fact, if the facts don't work, they will simply adjust the metrics.
We've seen how the pandemic exposed these weaknesses in Canada. Lack of local production of PPE, we lacked even the most basic of needs. Fully dependent on other nations for the vaccine, especially from America. That is, after European nations rejected us outright.
Media isn't interested in our failures in Canada, they are too interested in calling out America. In America, you aren't interested in your challengers globally as you have too many lobbyists looking to profit domestically. They don't realize that many problems in this globalized system are due to problems elsewhere. Neither of us are well served by media that doesn't challenge all parties and the Status Quo, equally.
