ELECTION ALERT: The Media is not your Friend, and will not be telling you the truth anytime soon!
Edited on Wed Oct-06-10 09:43 PM by FrenchieCat

NEWS ALERT!

THE NEWS IS FULL OF SHIT!





The Corporate media will use whomever it can, and then spit them out!

WE are nothing to them, and they will print or say whatever they can to
effect the elections to serve their own best interests, which ain't ours.

I am warning those who have a tendency to buy into News Bullshit.
Starting now till November 3rd is NOT THE TIME!

3. I was going to ask you the same question,
but decided that I didn't feel like following you around like a stalker.

2. That is a fact!
And this phenomenon is by no means limited to right-leaning media sources.

7. Yep, if the media is hyping it, chances are it has nothing to do with the facts...
and everything to do with ratings. If the two are in 'conflict' the media will always, repeat always, go for the ratings with a TOTAL disregard for the facts.

Recommended.

8. But what is scary is how folks choose to believe not only "stories"......
but also headlines.

10. All too many never read below the headlines, sadly...
which is why the headline quite often has little relevance to the body of the article even to the point of being diametrically opposite to the facts, if printed at all, can be found only in the last paragraph.

It is scary indeed.

9. Kick......
The money has been paid.
The stories are coming out in an avalanche.
The fools will play.....
and cut their nose from their face,
and insist that they look good.

Be very careful. Read every story. See if there is another side to it.
Do not take anything at face value. Although grown folks should know this,
many don't, or don't care.
