Reliance on Media is Limited

If you need facts, you will find yourself on the internet, looking up information.

Local Newspapers are full of “light reading” with articles on places to go, things to do, human interest stories and information on hobbies, cooking and gardening.  There are equal amounts of information on sports, community activities and entertainment.  Some readers only read “light”.  Ads may be part of “light reading” unless the reader actually needs to buy something.

Hard news includes national news, international news, business news, hurricanes, tornados, tsunamis, floods, volcano eruptions, earth quakes, fires, local crime, court cases, accidents and local government issues.  

TV News is similar and covers the same material.

Media will report what it is given, so beware, Propaganda, Disinformation, False Flags and Cover Stories do exist, especially with political issues.  Political ideology and special interest spin colors what is reported by the time it reaches you.  

Analysis of known facts rarely accompanies news articles.  Articles citing increases in jobs, neglects to compare job creation with decades past and neglects to cover the impact of admitting over 1 million legal immigrants per year for decades.  Articles citing increases in housing starts using last years’ data neglects to cover more normal periods before 2008.  Articles comparing energy sources don’t mention the cost of coal and nuclear electricity generation at 2 cents per kwh being 5 times lower than solar and 7 times lower than wind.  The media is quick to act as the PR spin agent for special interests and liberal ideology.

The two biggest stories ignored by the “media” but widely published by conservative bloggers and authors this past decade were the debunking of the global warming hoax and UN Agenda 21 implementation in the U.S.  The biggest issue ignored by the “media” has been the explosion in federal spending and money printing since 2008.

U.S. Citizens are not aware of or prepared to face the consequences of their ignorance and inaction. They have been encouraged to live in a bubble.
