The media exists so that the narrative can be owned, manipulated and put towards furthering a greater goal. There is no other reason why anyone would bother to take the time and invest the resources necessary to disseminate information on such a wide scale. All news is fake. It's purely a matter of degrees.
- moxious 10y agoThis is illuminati thinking, pre-supposing that someone is in charge and that there's some big plan. That isn't the case. Plenty of organizations have a plan but the media is a gigantic melee of different ideas, no one is pulling the strings on that chaotic monster
- rorykoehler 10y agoThat doesn't contradict my post. Many people are trying to assert influence at once.
- jkscm 10y ago> The media exists so that the narrative can be owned, manipulated Thats also true for anyone else who is not part of the media. > All news is fake. It's purely a matter of degrees. That does not lead to the conclusion that other sources are right.
- rorykoehler 10y agoNot at all. It's pretty hard to be objectively truthful. Even if one achieves it the bias filters of the reader will Colour it somehow anyways. In any case truly objective news would be very drab to read indeed.
- pessimizer 10y ago> That does not lead to the conclusion that other sources are right. There are no other sources. Information you get isn't divided into "news" and "not-news", even if you divide it that way in your head. An article in a blog is just as much news as an article in the NYT. Or for that matter, one of the NYT blogs...
- alphabettsy 10y agoThat's silly. There's plenty of information that's not news. Have you heard of history?
