Media Matters!

The elitist liberal view in this country is that the citizens they rule over are merely machines, and can be taught so their resistance to manipulation is weakened step by step. They seek a modern authoritarian government with almost endless means of manipulation, beginning in with early education, and ending with the media. They've taken great steps to control both the education process and the television media. How can the mindless machines they view us to be, resist a properly managed TV schedule, with it's edited illusions of reality, be as it enters every home and it is watched for endless hours by both young and old? Remember, every form of television is edited for content, and we see only what those doing the editing allow.

The achieved goal is a world view of an elite, and a world view of the central news media colliding. It's fair to say with few exceptions, the media is a ready vehicle for manipulative authoritarianism. People have been taught the truth as if the objective truth does not exist. "Snookie" sets the bar for our youth as the level of intelligence one needs to attain to be successful. While Charlie Sheen shows the adults that all morals and rule of law are seen as relative, thus people gravitate through this suggestive manipulation and are a bit more open to what is acceptable in today's society. Some feel that society's cannot derive the ought from the is. What ought to be, as defined by our moral code, is in direct conflict with what their eyes see is.

Besides completely divorcing ourselves from the media and becoming completely removed from today's society, there is but a few rays of hope. A select few voices rise above the din to assure this form of media manipulation is exposed. The problem being they too are subject to editing, so again if it's seen on TV, your only allowed to see what the editors want. One of the biggest obstacles the elitists face is a free and open Internet. Unedited copy flows freely, free of manipulation. While this has it's short comings too, it helps to expose the truth. The problem being, what exactly is the truth?

Example; you watch a play in a football game. As it is represented your first impression leads you to a conclusion. The editors then beak down the play in slow motion and play it from different angles revealing what you first saw may not be in many cases what actually happened. The player's foot may have been in bounds, that called foul ball did sneak inside the foul pole, the reception did in fact hit the ground, and the second baseman got the tag down in time, all clearly different from your original perception, but brought to light by new information shown either in slow motion, or from a different angle. The magic of television. Now apply that to your nightly news.....

God Bless!
