Glenn Beck’s “crazy conspiracy theory” about top down bottom up strategies.
Exactly but he left one out, namely, “Outside-In - leverages media & web technology to turn interest into engagement and enduring networks.”
Engagement = Anarchy. Enduring networks = they need to own ALL of them for the duration.
It’s a top down deal with many orgs in between, the big media “owned” Barry Diller, Google, GE, Gannitt etc. Then there’s PBC/NPR and The Center for Public Integrity (went international within a year)...funded by Soros, Freedom Forum (gannitt, usa today, and other lefties... Look up the board on Freedom Forum... I have it somewhere and will post it later time permitting. They also formed Newseum who give media awards to their favorite people. They’re all linked to each other.
The original framework came from the bogus Apal Scare. The National Research Council (NRC)/David Fenton boasted about it on one of their webpages until recently. It was funded by Tides.
Unfortunately, in our naivety, we’ve been funding ourselves into oblivion. We trusted the whole system too much, especially our “watchdog” information source, the media.
The Industrial Media Complex (TIMC).
That struck me also.
