Media today

In our time, we are star-struck. We want the latest paparazzi photos, and the latest celebrity gossip. We also consume a lot here in America. We want the latest food craze, or the latest craze on anything. We want to be popular, and to have what most don't. Furthermore, we want to be the first having it. Of course, it is highly probable that this is just the perception we have of what we are based on the information we are fed from the media. A media that the more I understand, the more I understand they are more misinformed than informed. When one knows the facts on something, and decides to watch television to catch up on that something, one quickly realizes how misinformed that media is. Of course, there is nothing wrong with watching for entertainment purposes. But, if you believe you are getting fair and balanced information, you could not be further from it.

Propaganda is information that is biased and misleading used to promote and publicize political causes, or points of view. Today's media in the U.S. is mostly controlled by the left. Either directly, or in a subtle way, they are promoting their political ideology. They want you to believe you are what they say you are. The far left infiltrated our country many decades ago. Leon Trotsky even lived in Manhattan for a while prior to the 1917 revolution. Later the same guy was not allowed in our country by FDR, perhaps because of FDR's friendship with Stalin. Anyhow, we know he was killed in Mexico while staying as a guest of Frida Kahlo. That's really not important. What's important is the history of Marxism in the U.S., and how it has slowly penetrated our institutions. Propaganda usually accuses opponents of what, in fact, is their own guilt instead. Basically, this is lying. I believe everyone should be in disbelief of anyone using propaganda. However, this may be what we are getting mostly from media today, sadly.

  1. The reality is one cannot win an argument against truth because truth isn't a lie.

  2. Of course, I don't really believe the media is misinformed. No, they just spread disinformation, which is lying.
