Entry for Corbett Report's 2nd Annual Real Fake News Awards

in #informationwar5 years ago (edited)

Yo yo people hows the winter and the crypto winter going for you? So I saw @CorbettReport is having a 2nd annual real fake news awards. My entry it is the CNN click bait reporting titled: "Intimate photos of modern-day witches across America." The following is a link to the ground breaking expose of import to everyone of us in the collective:

Now don't get me wrong, they lie about a lot and when it comes to it the biggest lying of fake news really is in the framing of stories, and now the ridiculous amount of anonymous sources creating total baseless lies that fill up the airwaves. They tell us there are around 7 billion people. If even just 1/1,000,000 of people are engaged in a seemingly news worthy event each day, at least human interest wise (non)story, then that's up to 7,000 interviews of babbling talking heads networks can use to fill up their schedule. Thus there is tons of stupid video content they can play for the sheeple to keep them tuned in and turned off.


If we want to talk about important issues, having $21 trillion or some 5-6 years of US budget being improperly accounted for, enough for a basic income--you'd think the rulers would feel obliged to at least discuss it and get to the bottom so people feel like its a fair open transparent system. Yet for some reason it doesnt seem to matter to the news, the president or the people's representatives beyond people like seemingly people's revolution comrade Representative Cortez.

AOC being real leader sorta?? At Least Talking about Some of the Real BS??

It really is ridiculous no one seems to care about this, perhaps fluoride or tv and phones are dumbing the murcan sheeple down. Or maybe humans are naturally dumb and uninterested on fundamental issues? Adam Smith lamented division of labor thusly:

"The man whose whole life is spent in performing a few simple operations, of which the effects are perhaps always the same, or very nearly the same, has no occasion to exert his understanding or to exercise his invention in finding out expedients for removing difficulties which never occur. He naturally loses, therefore, the habit of such exertion, and generally becomes as stupid and ignorant as it is possible for a human creature to become."

Anyhow, the trend of all the mainstream legacy media dinosaurs all have total lie click bait stories on their pages now from aggregators like "Outbrain." I don't know how many times I have seen click bait total lies about worlds largest snake even with fake pictures on the mainstream news pages. So this outbrain story integration should be noted.

The outbrain nonsense and stories like photos about modern witches, or the TV show president getting an extra scoop of ice cream are essentially admissions they refuse to cover anything of widespread relevance. They provided no evidence the witches are even widely known as cultural icons like celebrities idiots might imitate. They also provide no evidence of the power of these witches to effect how they have nearly 1% of murcan sheeple caged up , many for victimless conduct. Or perhaps spells to get Snowden and Assange pardons so we take a stand for constitutionally restrained government. They point guns at us to buy the damn ice cream or at least the places it was served at, I dont want to be forced to buy reporters an extra scoop.

When the media oligarchs are blatantly allowed to publish lies and total non news of not widespread import then it becomes clear that these clown organizations are about control not useful/relevant information dissemination.

Well I think it's obvious the money was stolen and most of them are getting a cut of it.
That's why their not interested in "accounting" for it.
