Media Influence

I'm ready for some comments so this blog is gonna be provocative.


Is the media controlled and by whom?  A RESOUNDING YES!!!


Here's my data to back this up.  Pat Robertson, haven't seen him on CNN lately, Rick Sanchez (fired), others Fired for their remarks.  Who fired them?  Executives of the networks.  And the broadcast networks are not innocent either. There are examples there as well.  All fired.


And why were they fired?  For what they said.  And do networks have the right to fire their employees?  Sure.
And do networks have a right to decide what they want to present and how it is to be presented?  Yes.  And do the networks answer to anyone?  Yes, us.  How?; by what we buy (that they advertise) and by what we watch.


 Do news outlets have an obligation to the public in general?  NO!! The whole notion of "honest" reporting, and the Fourth Estate, is a social fabrication.  Networks, publications of all kinds have only one obligation to the "public" and that is to make a profit from their endeavor.


So if the airwaves are public, don't they then have an obligation to "us" the collective owners of the airwaves?  Sure.  And they do it by paying a licensing fee and filling out paperwork and following the government's rules.
There you have it. 


If you want to experience all of this in action, begin following the reporting on the new book about the young 19 year old intern and John Kennedy when he was president.


I don't know; maybe all this bores you.  But it really informs me on how people arrive at some of the, in my opinion, crazy ideas they have.  I've never understood the reverence to which Kennedy, and the whole clan were/have been elevated.  Rationally and objectively it just doesn't make any sense.  But that has always made me believe that "perception is reality", a concept I want to reject as a critical thinker, but just have to accept on the face of all the evidence.


And who are these executives?  Jews.  WOW, there I go, now I've done it, let the comments roll. But as sure as I am that this is true, I'm just as sure it is not the perception of most of the readers of this blog. (see comments above on perception/reality).


I won't comment or defend that remark.  Just do your own research and see who the prominent media executives are.


Also, at some point we should have a discussion about the strategic foreign relations necessity of Israel relative to the United States v. any other strategic relationship we have.  And we should have this conversation soon, because the Israelis are in the catbird seat as far as drawing the United States into another war in the middle east.


BTW, DON'T MAKE ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT ME AND MY BELIEFS.
