For decades, the mainstream media in the United States was accustomed to being
able to tell the American people what to think. Unfortunately for them, a whole
lot of Americans are starting to break free from that paradigm and think for
themselves. A Gallup survey from earlier this year found that 60 percent of all
Americans "have little or no trust" in the mainstream media. More people than
ever are realizing that the mainstream media is giving them a very distorted
version of "the truth" and they are increasingly seeking out alternative sources
of information.
In the United States today, just six giant media corporations control the
mainstream media. Those giant media corporations own television networks, cable
channels, movie studios, radio stations, newspapers, magazines, publishing
houses, music labels and even many prominent websites. But now thanks to the
Internet the mainstream media no longer has a complete monopoly on the news. In
recent years the "alternative media" has exploded in popularity. People want to
hear about the things that the corporate media doesn't really want to talk
about. They want to hear news that is not filtered by corporate bosses and
government censors. They want "the truth" and they know that they are not
getting it from the mainstream media.
We are watching a media revolution happen, and many in the mainstream media are
totally freaking out about it. In fact, some in the mainstream media have even
begun publishing articles that mock the American people for not trusting them.
For example, a recent CNN article entitled "Still `paranoid' after all these
years" portrayed Americans that don't trust the media as paranoid conspiracy
theorists that have left rationality behind…
Ever have the feeling you're being lied to by the news media, the authorities,
the corporate world? That somebody — or something — is out to get you? You're
not alone.
Welcome to 21st-century America.
Look around. Trust is hitting historic lows. Just a third of Americans have a
favorable view of the federal government, a decline of 31% since 2002, according
to the Pew Center for People and the Press. Gallup has Congress' approval rating
is in the low 20s, after nearing single digits last summer. And the news media
aren't much better off.
`Negative opinions about the performance of news organizations now equal or
surpass all-time highs on nine of 12 core measures the Pew Research Center has
been tracking since 1985,' a Pew report said.
The article goes on to make it sound like it is very irrational not to trust the
media, but in this day and age it is imperative that we all learn to think for
ourselves. Blindly trusting someone else to do your thinking for you is very
dangerous.
Anyone that does not acknowledge that the mainstream media has an agenda is not
being honest with themselves. The mainstream media presents a view of the world
that is very favorable to their big corporate owners and the big corporations
that spend billions of dollars to advertise on their networks. The mainstream
media is the mouthpiece of the establishment, and the worldview being pushed on
the big networks is going to be consistent with the economic, financial,
political and social goals of the establishment. The mainstream media loves to
talk about things that fit with that agenda, and they don't like to talk about
things that suggest that there is something wrong with that agenda.
The following are 25 facts that the mainstream media doesn't really want to talk
about right now…
#1 The mainstream media doesn't really want to talk about the fact that gun
sales are absolutely skyrocketing in the aftermath of the horrific tragedy at
Sandy Hook Elementary School.
#2 The mainstream media doesn't really want to talk about the fact that
disarming the population has resulted in some of the most horrific massacres in
human history. The following is from the Warrior Times…
1911 – Turkey disarmed its citizens, and between 1915 – 1917 they murdered 1.5
million Armenians.
1929 – Russia disarmed its citizens, and between 1929 – 1953 they murdered 20
million Russians.
1935 – China disarmed its citizens, and between 1948 – 1952 they murdered 20
million Chinese.
1938 – Germany disarmed its citizens, and between 1939 – 1945 they murdered 16
million Jews.
1956 – Cambodia disarmed its citizens, and between 1975 – 1977 they murdered 1
million Educated people.
1964 – Guatemala disarmed its citizens, and between 1964 – 1981 they murdered
100,000 Mayan Indians.
1970 – Uganda disarmed its citizens, and between 1971 – 1979 they murdered
300,000 Christians.
#3 The mainstream media doesn't really want to talk about the fact that a bill
allowing for the "indefinite military detention of US citizens on American soil"
was passed by the U.S. Senate on Friday.
#4 The mainstream media doesn't really want to talk about the fact that
volcanoes all along the Ring of Fire are roaring to life. It seems like a new
eruption is being reported every few days now. In fact, a red alert has just
been issued for a massive volcano that sits along the border between Chile and
Argentina.
#5 The mainstream media doesn't really want to talk about the fact that the use
of genetically engineered seeds has caused on explosion of new "super weeds"
that are incredibly difficult for farmers to kill.
#6 The mainstream media doesn't really want to talk about the fact that renowned
trends forecaster Gerald Celente is predicting a "financial disaster" in 2013.
#7 The mainstream media doesn't really want to talk about the fact that it is
easier to get into Harvard than it is to get a job as a flight attendant in
America today.
#8 The mainstream media doesn't really want to talk about the fact that nearly
400 TSA employees have been fired for stealing from travelers since 2003.
#9 The mainstream media doesn't really want to talk about the fact that giant
corporations such as Facebook are funneling gigantic amounts of money through
offshore banking havens such as the Cayman Islands in an effort to avoid taxes.
#10 The mainstream media doesn't really want to talk about the fact that the
U.S. dollar is in danger of losing its status as the primary reserve currency of
the world.
#11 The mainstream media doesn't really want to talk about the fact that Barack
Obama has gone off to vacation in Hawaii while the rest of the nation hopes for
a fiscal cliff deal to get done. Of course the mainstream media has to mention
that he is on vacation because they always keep track of what the president
does, but they are not making a big deal out of it because they love Obama. And
it sounds like Obama is having quite a good time on his little vacation…
The president is expected to indulge in some of his favorite pastimes on the
island where he was born and raised: golf, an expedition for the local treat
`shave ice,' and an evening out with family and friends. He hit the links at the
nearby Marine Corps base under sunny skies on Saturday afternoon.
#12 The mainstream media doesn't really want to talk about the fact that there
are government websites that give immigrants instructions about how to come over
to our country and apply for welfare.
#13 The mainstream media doesn't really want to talk about the fact that the
U.S. economy is losing millions of jobs to nations where it is legal to pay
workers slave labor wages. The mainstream media is totally married to the one
world economic agenda that their corporate owners make so much money from, and
so they say nothing as a steady stream of businesses and jobs continue to leave
the country.
#14 The mainstream media doesn't really want to talk about the fact that the
recent tax increase is causing large numbers of wealthy individuals to consider
moving out of the state of California.
#15 The mainstream media doesn't really want to talk about the fact that hunger
and poverty are absolutely exploding in the United States at the same time that
they are telling us that the economy is "recovering".
#16 The mainstream media doesn't really want to talk about the fact that North
Korea now has a three-stage rocket with enough range to potentially hit the
western United States.
#17 The mainstream media doesn't really want to talk about the fact that the
United States Postal Service is losing 25 million dollars a day and is on the
verge of financial collapse.
#18 The mainstream media doesn't really want to talk about the fact that our
biggest oil supplier in the Middle East, Saudi Arabia, still kills people for
changing religions.
#19 The mainstream media doesn't really want to talk about the fact that
political correctness is taking over America. The truth is that the media does
not see any problem with that at all.
#20 The mainstream media doesn't really want to talk about the fact that nearly
half a million employees of the federal government are making more than $100,000
a year.
#21 The mainstream media doesn't really want to talk about the fact that the
birth rate in the United States fallen to an all-time low. The elite are
actually absolutely thrilled that less babies are being born.
#22 The mainstream media doesn't really want to talk about the fact that violent
crime in the United States increased by 18 percent in 2011 and that many major
U.S. cities are seeing violent crime totally spiral out of control.
#23 The mainstream media doesn't really want to talk about the fact that Barack
Obama received more than 99 percent of the vote in more than 100 precincts in
Ohio on election day.
#24 The mainstream media doesn't really want to talk about the fact that during
the first four years of the Obama administration, the U.S. national debt grew by
about as much as it did from the time that George Washington took office to the
time that George W. Bush took office.
#25 The mainstream media doesn't really want to talk about the fact that the
Federal Reserve created the conditions for the last financial crisis and their
mismanagement of the economy has now brought us to the verge of another horrible
economic downturn. According to the mainstream media, the Federal Reserve is
"above politics" and should not be criticized.
