People are turning to the alternative media. Brandon Smith mentions his site’s increased readership in 2021. The same thing is going on at SLL. Viewership was up 30 percent over 2020, which in turn was up 58 percent over 2019. The mainstream media has destroyed its credibility. For SLL or any other alternative media site, […]
The Fall Of The Mainstream Media And The Biggest Lies They Told In 2021, by Brandon Smith — STRAIGHT LINE LOGIC
The problem of the Legacy Media abandoning the notions of objectivity and public service, instead being propagandists for their preferred politicians / political party isn’t confined to NZ. As well as in America, we see similar complaints in Australia. —Eds
The MSM also fail to realise that sheep tend not to look at the news too closely. The news in the back ground on the TV and radio is about as close as they like to get.
That’s right CS. Quite often people will only read the headline which appears to confirm the acceptable narrative but the paragraphs below the headline reveal the opposite.
With the public’s short attention span these days this is how the lame stream media gets away with this rubbish. I can’t imagine a lot of these people could pay attention to a long form interview or article on anything other than a celebrity’s mundane existence.
“Quite often people will only read the headline which appears to confirm the acceptable narrative”
A classic example of this was with the trial of Chris Kahui over the death of the twin babies. He was acquitted of having caused the death and the headline pushed him a s a killer escaping justice. All my friends at the pub were ranting and raving about him getting off scott free. One of those foaming at the mouth had a mentally disabled child himself. When I pointed out that Kahui also had a mentally disabled son and it was found that it was most likely him that hit the babies heads together, they demanded to know how I knew this. It was published there in black and white at the end of the press article that was in the bar newspaper. What followed was very interesting watching these angry men struggle to comprehend what had happened and what they thought. It was like watching a bunch of sponge cakes collapse. Not one of them had read past the headline. And over a trial and incident that they all felt so passionate about but failed to actually do minimal research into.
Chris Kahui may be a nasty piece of work but he was found innocent and I believe he was subject to a witch-hunt conducted by the police.
