What is wrong with our media? |
|
This is what I learned from LISTENING to Mexican Media from Tijuana on what is going on RIGHT NOW in Mexicali
It took me a while but I found ONE Mexican station in Tijuana doing like news and shit. I also found out that the local Mexicali stations were off air, and off net...
Here is what CNN is not telling you, from listening to Civil Defense in Mexicali
2 dead (The Honorable Governor José Guadalupe Osuna Millán (PAN)) 50 wounded (Mexican Red Cross) 7-9 structural fires 2 structural failures, one at the civil center one at the parking lot of the Cabildo Municipal (City Hall) Hospitals are damaged but still running, both private and public. Classes are canceled for tomorrow, at all levels. Work is not, but all buildings are being checked by structural engineers, and those not checked should not allow personnel in until cleared. Convoys are leaving from Tijuana The road that was closed is now open (rumorosa) Oh and communications are overloaded, and they are asking people not to use the equivalent of 9.11 unless needed. Power is being slowly re-established, as well as telephone communications. Water mains have broken, crews are working. First priority is life, later goes property.
Like amazing what you can learn when you actually like listen to ACTUAL news.
Don't tell me they cannot do this, and damn did I just scoop them?

1. Thank god for the internet, that's all I can say |
|
Imagine the good ole days where we only had the MSM to tell us what was going on.
I just check MSM for comparison nowadays, when I feel I need a blood pressure bump.

2. Our media? What's wrong? |
|
I would hope that it has become obvious that it is a one-way medium for propaganda, across-the-board.
The narrowing margin of corporate media conglomerates do not speak for you, they speak to you. They tell you what they want you to know, not what you need to know. They have their own priority and agendas and they do their job well because far too many people take the programming, from news to shows, as legitimate and worthy of dominant insertion into the culture.
Thanks for helping to point that out, Nadinbrzezinski! The only viable solution to the media-induced, alpha-wave acceptance of the agitprop that streams from the glowing, blue rectangle is first to realize what is going on, (and not consider it to be a paranoid conspiracy theory) then, to pull away from the corporate Oz Head, look behind the curtain more, and discredit the major media while exposing it for what it is.
Just because many of us alive now have grown-up before this mind massaging device, (that stranger you invite into our living room and who you let tell your kids whatever it wants to) does not in any way lend one iota of legitimacy or prove its value to our culture, our future, and everything else about our lives that it taints.

5. Yes indeed. That's why I got rid of the damn thing a long time ago. |

You know, I have quite a few friends, and I can only think of one who has a television.
They could all certainly afford one, but they just have no interest in it. :shrug:

is encouraging! Spread the word.
These days, I find it a bit easier to convince friends to consider abandoning the glowing, blue altar, or, at least, canceling cable/satellite and being selective about their viewing via the Net or by DVD. The cost savings helps with the pitch.
So far, at least four people I know have freed themselves from the Simulation's Matrix. :) :) :)
You know, after a while, if you pay attention, you see less deer-in-the-headlights glaze in their eyes and they seem to be more "awake" and interesting, even.

7. Well I find media studies fasicinating |
|
as well as how this is done.
CNN has yet to tell us that Rescue Teams left Tijuana with digging equipment and dogs... BBC has.
But BBC is looking at the same thing I am. They don't have anybody YET in the field.
