To be fair, Covid has hit the mannequin community particularly hard.

Fortunately, all the mannequins I've read about in the past year and a half have been wearing masks.

Nothing is so emblematic of news media these days as trying to push the message "COVID is real" by staging a literal fake human in a hospital bed.

You would think more people would distrust the media being they have been busted over and over for manufacturing fake news narratives. I have notes, list, but don’t want to overload this site. Take it to the bank, 99% of MSM news is bullsh**!

If you could find a way to share that would be great. Teaching a research class and trying to point out that *gasp* the media has a really good reason to keep you terrified 24/7.

Let's try this one example and see how it goes. I have over ten years of notes like this. I started just to try to track what these people had said, had done, being we're drinking news from a fire hydrant! If el gato thinks it's too much, we can try something different. Here we go.

So, where is the MSM narrative on the Biden mental condition? Are you getting the idea that they want you to think one thing only; Orange Man Bad? That's so intellectually dishonest and a massive dereliction of duty of the press to "inform," not program their readers, viewers.

The above is not directed at you. As I get in debates I have to annotate and copy and paste.

Quite the collection that vividly illustrates Trump's point that media is more than dishonest. Of course, substack readers are all too aware, but few have dedicated themselves to such a compilation. I can see a website dedicated to exposing the totality of the smear factory's efforts. It would be a lovely link to share on social media.

The irony is lost on them. The MSM (I don't think CBC even qualifies for that) don't think. They just read from a script. Probably pre-approved by the liberal party. Bought and paid for by the hardworking taxpayers (at least we were, before "they" threatened to throw us out of work if we refuse their double syringe of snake-oil). I digress...

The purpose of TV news is exactly the same as the purpose of (other) TV shows. That purpose is to keep you watching the channel until the next commercial can be aired. The goal of *everything* on TV is the sale of advertising time, which is valued in proportion to how many eyeballs are viewing a particular channel. What the show is about, or what that show purports to convey--be it "reality" or "fantasy" or something else--is irrelevant. That makes the use of words like "trust" misplaced, no? (Apologies for the arrogantly pedantic nature of this post.) I will now return to snarky comments!

Expand full comment

Not exactly. The goal of TV news is to deliver propaganda. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Expand full comment

Actually, no. Propaganda is a valuation, a designation you place upon what was delivered. The goal is still eyeballs on the channel. (Hell, if publicly announcing that they would be broadcasting only propaganda resulted in higher viewership, the networks would do it!) Now, might it be that "propaganda" as a tool has other benefits? Sure. However, if no one watches, the tool would be ineffective.
