Loading ...Believing the MEDIA? An Experiment…..
So a lot of folks here are of the belief that the media presents a biased view of things based on biased reporting. Here’s a little experiment for you…….
My first question would be, what do you believe in general about salmon farming?
Do you believe it is an industry that produces “Frankenfish” full of antibiotics, growth hormones, pollutes the oceans, overcrowd the fish and create death zones beneath the farms?
If you do, you believe most if not everything the media has reported?
This includes Environmental group reporting/MEDIA.
Do you not believe the main stream media but believe environmental groups reporting?
So many folks here are claiming that the media is biased, but wonder how often we pick and choose what we want to believe?
I’ll get back to you….. 🙂
Just a hint…. Salmon farming in Washington State is a part of one of the states biggest government cover ups…….
WE ARE ALL BIASED….it’s called opinion
When we form our opinion based on ubiquitous planned “news” we can form the wrong opinion and once an opinion is formed it is difficult for most to rethink it…so they look for confirmation and find it everywhere.
I doubt if 1% actually do their own critical thinking and thus form their OWN opinions.
Can’t wait for the next installment of fishcapades

Yes and you have been pointing it out over and over again.
We have to constantly look at our own opinions and biases, we tend to believe what we want to.
I think what you are bringing up is, to question EVERYTHING.
Yes that’s what I am saying . Thanks Steins.
I am not the first to say it…Another Stein said it in a more eloquent way
🙂
Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are even incapable of forming such opinions
Albert Einstein
I found out he was my uncle when I heard he liked to head his sailboat right at other boats just for laughs.
you re right Fully – I have read ocean reports from gov’t agencies since 1986and they document warming and acidifying trends – fish I don’t know
I don’t know. I consider anything I read potentially … fishy unless I’m directly involved, at least under the current organization of information. I am most concerned about freshness but am most interested in these other issues. I would like to see other people — ideally other solar systems — try out GMO fish for a few dozen generations before trying myself, and have results, all converging to tend to confirm safety, reported by multiple sources, all thoroughly transparent. Not going to get it.
Rushing to put the product out unnecessarily fast in the context of highly nonlinear dynamic systems, above all ones involving health, is reckless. Reporting by unelected often biased and untransparent sources, often with biases not even known to themselves, but very real, owing in part to their being in effect owned, makes the understanding of the results of such complicated interactionas all the less clear.
I want generations and generations of other people, especially on other planets, to serve as guinea pigs (poor guinea pigs) before I eat this frankenfish stuff, and I don’t believe anyone who is officially telling me what is supposed to be known.
But it may be super good and great for you.
I consider most ‘news’ to be AGENTS of the NWO – it used to be called Pravda (or “TRUTH”). They have the same mission statement and take orders.
The media is content to have us think they are only ‘biased’ by a staff of people that just happen to hold the same opinion, but that too is a LIE – they are controlled deliverers of a message.
only 6 media congolmerates control more 90% of what is ‘newsworthy’ on TV.

Remember the media is NOT ‘diverse’ ….

If you only tell Half The Truth (it’s called plausible deniability) and/or the Glass is ALWAYS Half Full (only one side to the story) or you ‘Editorialize’ – Sensationalize the headline ….. those are RED FLAGS (from Conservative or Liberal media sources). They really don’t care that anyone believes the MSM is biased/stupid or irrational, in fact that is to their benefit – it’s part of the deception (what you are observing is just ‘accidental’ nothing to see here, move along). In reality – it’s controlled messaging straight up. By who I don’t know exactly – there are just rumors that I have no first hand knowledge of.
The media must sell the news just like any other barker – that’s why headlines are written the way they are. Straight news is boring and merely info dots (doesn’t sell eyeballs to advertisers) – it’s when the media obscures the line between facts and editorializing that they are most effective in their messaging – controlling the ‘narrative’. Gosh I hate that word – it’s just opinion designed to influence hearts and minds. Most of the younger generation has no clue as to the difference.
I’m just going to throw some terms out there in case anyone wants to do some research (BTW DO NOT USE GOOGLE if you can avoid – once you know the difference between say DuckDuckGo search results and GOOG’s especially on ‘controversial’ topics you may be surprised)
Notice that nearly EVERYTHING in Goog’s page 1 search results of political topics are all MSM channels (that includes FoxNews) – the mission is to keep our brains on the reservation.

James’ Alefantis’ Instagram (entrance to a rabbit hole)
Watch Yuri Bezemov’s 1984 interview regarding subversive tactics used by the KGB toward soviet russia’s enemies.
I don’t think what we are seeing today could be any more clear – what we’re seeing today may not be the russians but I believe it’s clearly driven by a radical socialist/communist ideology that leads toward revolution and transformation/death of a culture/society. The primary targets – all of Europe and North America – Europe is much much further down that road at this time. These are of course just my opinions based on the most recent 10 years of observation …. everyone must chose what to believe just as Fully said said above.
UM… maybe social media is starting to take the DOJ’s threat seriously to treat them as PUBLISHERS.

Hopefully FB and TWIT will in fact no longer simply be protected as ‘platforms’.
Zuckerberg was probably savy enough to see this coming and didn’t immediately go the route of Twitter.

Just skip first minute, and key point comes in next 2-3 minutes.
Journalists are just agents of CORPORATE driven narratives.
Its NOT bias. Its outright deception and propaganda.
