THE ABSURD TIMES MEDIA SERIES – WHY NOBODY HERE CAN KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING. PRIME DIRECTIV
E MAINSTREAM UNITED STATES by ABSURD TIMES Our mainstream media has almost returned to normal. After October 7, the board of Directors of XFINITY, DISNEY, AND WHOEVER OWNS CBS, had their meeting. The media would be controlled as always and the meeting was purely concerned with maintaining profit margin. Meanwhile, immediately NBC (Xfinity) took every reporter who knew what was really going on off the air (except Richard Engels (his name sounds Jewish so maybe it won't hurt). Aipac, you know. Fox has its own board and they will make their own decisions, probably also based on profit margins, but they can deal with that themselves. In other words (it's not my problem – talk to Fox). If they don't properly distort the news, viewers migrate to even more warped channels. Ron DeSantis came up with some policies that DISNEY didn't like. Disney owns ABC. He never figured out why his polls went so low. BTW: in case you wonder, if you live in a large city, one that started television, you will notice that ABC always has a circle with a 7 in it. Ever wonder why? Yes, I'll tell you. Back then, the presumption was that the military would own channels one through six. ABC moved quickly as in the VHF band the lower the wavelength the greater the reach, and opted for Channel seven. Well, our military is not that into programming and, as idiocy faded a bit, channel 6 was put aside for FM broadcasting. When the channels started to get cluttered (we are still land-based now) VHF opened up. Fox had to settle for 32 in Chicago and there is no way the other stations will relent. Now, however, Ted Turner in Atlanta, who inherited channel seventeen, started to use satellites and started CNN. Well, jump forward, and we will come back to some of this in later editions when needed, but the capitalist juggernaut continued. The GigaCorporations had to maintain their profit margin, which meant they had to sell advertisements, and they were hampered, particularly at the largest level, by another commodity – the audience. Now to focus on the largest: MSNBS has the most educated and hence aware audience of all of them. It is that audience that the board has to sell to the advertisers, a prime audience. So, the concern is to retain as much of that audience as possible while not offending the profit margin. At first, this meant not showing scenes from Gaza nor commentary against Israel or our 4 billion a year gift to it. It also meant full support for Netenyahoo who wants to continue this war as long as possible to avoid indictments in their Supreme Court (which he was unable to dismantle). He is now so afraid of court that he will continue this aggression as long as he can. The board in charge of profit margin continues to monitor and as the more alert members of its audience become more anti-Israel and defiant of Biden, the coverage changes to keep that audience. Fox's audience is the 'BOOBOISE', the mentality that enrolls in Trump University, build the wall, etc., smaller contributions and tennis shoes (now called 'sneakers') at $399/pair. That audience at the (sneaker-con?) showed a mixed reaction, of course. Not only does it mainly consider perfection as Michael Jordan but also much of it likes Taylor Swift. At any rate, that is the sort of values at work in the media. Further media articles will focus on individual topics and what other countries face with censorship. Meanwhile, we need to see what happens with Assange. Didn't we used to have a First Amendment? MEDIA SWALLOWED BY Absurd Times Well, I have had enough of this inane preoccupation with our MEDIA (SUCH AS IT IS) that further examination seems to reflect what a wise Professor of Political Science once said vociferously and often: WHO CARES? I should wrap this up as quickly as possible by asking for help for a number of reliable (oh my) sources, but mainly my own observations. Too many other events are going on to bother with this crap --- Russia: I'm told that all media is blocked or closely monitored. --- Israel: I'm told that most Israelis have never seen coverage of the slaughter and disease in Gaza. Only idiotic stuff by younger IDF is seen. Finally, an example of how it works: on an international source: A woman hostage was released to Israel, and she said "It was hell on earth. The motorcycle was horrific. It must be said, however, that once there we were treated and lived as well as our capturers. We ate the same food, and slept in the same conditions." The same hostage's statement appeared in mainstream media in the U.S., but in a shorter version "It was hell on earth." Well, that's enough of that.
