Precisely.
And the new media is changing the narrative as soon as the old media dreams it up. The MSM is like the church in Europe 100 years ago. That church was crumbling under its own hypocrisy to the point now that the church in Europe is a skeleton. The MSM is also crumbling under its own hypocrisy. You can see it everywhere.
I remember a few weeks ago when the US Ambassador to the UN actually said with a straight face that the murder of the Libyan ambassador had nothing to do with America hatred. At the same time there were pictures of US flag burnings all over the Middle East. In other words, it was very obvious that the ambassador had been murdered because they hate us over there but the UN ambassador somehow thought that she could make us believe anything with the help of the MSM. They are so arrogant and contemptuous of us out here that they think that if they say something is so it will be.
In reality, we saw right through it as they were saying it. They look so amateurish and incompetent in the MSM because they have nothing else to fool us with. The cat is out of the bag and we do not buy it anymore. Their attempts to spin is so childish that it is no longer credible yet they keep trying even though it simply is not being accepted.
That is a dead giveaway that the end has come for the MSM.
Good post. I think the media betting the farm on the Democrat party shutting down all other news source competition, before they become irrelevant. With internet speech police “deeming” (remember “deeming” the health care bill passed?) conservative commentary or accurate news hate speech, the old media will be in a position of absolute power. There is a sinister agenda at work here to make sure that there is only one outlet of propaganda. Let’s not forget that all this has been proven to work in the past in countless other examples of communism take overs. The battle field has changed dramatically on both sides. They have the IRS, electronics, guns, drones, satellites.. you name anything that’s powerful enough to reduce you to ruble, and they have it. On the other side, the Conservatives have what’s the equivalent to the ink printing press, only many order of magnitudes bigger and louder than the town paper. If you believe in the saying “The pen is mightier than the sword”, then the real fight is which side has the biggest pen. The communists are the favored bet because they have hundreds of years of practice when it comes to ruthless decimation of opposition. We shall see.
