Do we really need the media.

Post by billy the kid » Sun Sep 06, 2020 8:33 pm

Do we really need the media?
Have a think about it...
How much of the news is fake news.
How much of the news is biased news.
How much of the news is actually censored.
Therefore, if a news item is censored, who actually has the right to censor that item.
How much of the news is paid content.
We have all heard comments time and time again...
"Dont believe everything that you read in the papers..."
Thats been around since Adam was a boy...
What about...
"Never let the truth get in the way of a good story..."
We've all heard that one.
The political bias these days is blatant.
Maybe its always been biased, and we never realized it.
I think most of us that are in the work force have been conditioned to simply go
to work every day and come home, maybe watch the bullshit box for a while, and simply
accept what is fed to us.
I think people are realizing today that the media is not held accountable by anyone
and that the garbage that they serve up is just that....garbage...
If the media want to promote a particular political party, they will.
If they wish to denigrate another party, they will.
Look at how the Australian media (except SKY) denigrate Trump.
Look at how the Australian media praise the federal government irrespective of the topic.
Almost every news article on the state and federal governments handling of the conjob19 plandemic in
Australia is praiseworthy.
The media does not question government.
The media is not to be trusted.
The public are tired of the media lying to them.
Paid content within the media simply lies to the public.
If the media is not to be trusted, then who do we trust.
Trust yourself to form your own opinion.
The conjob19 plandemic is the perfect example.
We have to form our own opinions.
Dont believe everything the media tells you.
Our governments are not to be trusted, nor is the media.
Form your own conclusions.
Refuse to be brainwashed by the media.
There is so much social unrest in the world today.
One of the reasons for this social unrest is the frustration felt by the people
caused by the suffocating systems under which we are compelled to live under.
People are protesting all over the world.
One of the other reasons is that the media is lying to us.
We really dont even need weather readers on the bulshit box...
Just put a graph up and we can read it.
If you want, you can access an app which gives you details of the weather.
Everyone you want is on the internet...sports results...cooking recipes..race fields..etc etc..
Do we even need the media...
To discover those who rule over you, first discover those who you cannot criticize...Voltaire
Its coming...the rest of the world versus islam....or is it here already...

One word. NO!

There is no integrity in 95% of journalism today. It's not even journalism. It's lies and false narratives and if you want the truth you have to dig for it which many people are too comfortably controlled to do.

MSM is so politically biased it's embarrassing to see people spout it like truth.

all you have to do is sort it out find the outlet you think tells it as it is.. and not how they think you want it to be..

I dont read or bother with many some of you I notice seem to be in touch with just about every Tom Dick or Harry....any wonder you get confused...

years ago we had newspapers take them or leave them... now we have all sorts of media outlets....personally I have bit of faith in SBS news...they seem to have more scope than our locals do....but to each his own... why do you all want to think alike.??? anyone with a different view is mostly shouted down.....to me that is saying youwish to be locked down in your 15 year old thoughts and never change them

I dont understand a word youve written.
"All you have to do is sort it out..."
Sort what out..
Oh you mean the truth and integrity of what is being reported.
Are you suggesting that some news is untrue and lacks integrity.
Which news is that.
How do you "sort out" false news from true news...
Why is that necessary.
I am not confused.
Are you.
SO tell me why the Australian media today issues a fantastic, praiseworthy article telling us
of the Morrison statement about a vaccine being available progressively through 2021.
Why hasnt the media ostracized Morrison for stating recently that the vaccine would be mandatory,
yet today, Hunt tells us that the vaccine will not be mandatory.
Hunt tells us that the vaccine would have to be accepted by 66% of the population to be successful
in combating the virus.
Where does he get that figure from.....the TAB.....
From his moronic "health experts".....from Fauci......
Morrison grandstands this fantastic news...which is all bullshit because the tests havent even been
done yet....and the media and mugs like you lap it up as though its manna from heaven....
Gimme a break..... :rofl :rofl :rofl

Yes and no. The media spreads information and we all need information. As it is though, we have to separate the chafe from the wheat. We could do without the agenda driven news, but we need just the facts.

We don't need to hear about peaceful protests in front of burning buildings. It's insulting.

The media lie
They are not held accountable.
They prey on human tragedy.
They promote false news
They have no integrity.
The media greedily accept and promote paid content.
Sections of the media are the scum of the earth.
They rank lower than politicians and real estate agents.

But how can they be cleansed? The bias and lies is too far ingrained now and most people don't delve for their news. They just absorb what's fed to them.

Even when the media lies and everything has been debunked they still just keep spinning the same BS and the fools of the world swallow it.

He who controls the media wins the election.

See how ScoMo took over the ABC and stopped the Unions and GetUp! and Labor and the Greenies using it as a Socialist Propaganda Media outlet.

Alan Jones on Sky News tells the real news the way it really is.

The Woke Socialists and Greenies get most of their Propaganda Fake News from GetUp! which is the Propaganda Arm of the Labor Party put mainly through the Guardian.

I don't think the ABC has been cleaned up at all. Ita pursues her identity and gender politics with a vengeance and it's still strongly biased.

I’m really disappointed in Ita. I thought that was a good appointment. Turns out I was wrong. If anything, the ABC has become worse under her stewardship.

I see the last 2 Australian journos we had in China have fled. There are now no Australian journalists left in China. The world as a whole needs to mount against China.

They suck.
