That's what it looks to the man on the street.
It's not how it looks when you study the use of media historically and how information is the most powerful weapon there is to be used to control people.
No way in hell the military spends so much as it does and leaves control of the information in the hands of a few corporations that they aren't directly working with. Why do you think media heads attend the Bilderberg meetings and the CFR? It's a club.
That would be a massive security risk. It's more crazy to think that kind of power isn't controlled.
It's not what you see on the news, it's how it's presented, and it's what isn't presented.
Left and right media, divide and conquer. It's controlled opposition that's all it is.
orange: you're right. i was just teaching my world history class the importance of grub street writers for the french revolution not two days ago. in the next unit we'll be talking about world wars propaganda.
red: why are you acting like this is groundbreaking secret info? 9th graders realize this. "pen is mightier than the sword" and all that.
green: maybe they have no choice?
yellow: yes, its a club. for what, though? i dont know, and you dont either. the difference is, i will admit that i dont know. other goons assume and insert information based on what they believe to be evidence. its human nature to do this. back in the day people didnt have a clue what made you sick. the few critical thinkers would say, "i dont know what makes you sick." the vast majority would say, "god does it," or "you're possessed" etc etc.
what happened to the illuminati? ohhhhh. thats old hat now eh? CT'ers have grown up from that. thats a bit condescending, but im trying to make a point. people see conspiracy in everything now. then they point to history and say, "see! other shadowy figures did things during x,y, and z times. yes, but the frequency with which theyre claimed to be occurring today is ridiculous.
pink: i dont think that it can be controlled. not currently, anyway. you NWO CT'ers assume that these global elites have aligned interests. i realize that they do not. ambition is set against ambition. the global elites change from year to year, as well. contrary to CT belief, the top 1% is the most volatile social class that there is. positions are taken, and lost, more than any other level of society. the rupert murdochs of the 1% are the exception, not the rule. these people will stab each other in the back, pull the rug out from one another, lie, cheat, and steal their way into "beating" one another. its capitalism. its human nature. they would never work with each other so uniformly, across borders, with aligned interests, for so long. they couldnt. they can make mountains of money WITHOUT doing any of that shit.
american political parties are very similar in the grand scheme of things. it isnt because theyre the same, or they have the same secret backers. its because they want to win elections. tell the most possible people exactly what those people want to hear, and theyll elect you (hopefully). if you go too far away from the middle, out on the fringe, youll have fewer voters support you, even if you have excellent ideas. stray too far from the norm, and youre F'ed.
in line with that, news media align with one or the other to make money. to get ratings. people watch media that they already agree with. it isnt necessarily because the secret illuminati make them do that, its because it is the easiest way to make tons of money. problems with the "liberal media?" that means there is a HUGE market for conservative skewed media. people want it. in steps fox news. if murdoch thought he could make more money with liberal media, he would do that.
the truth is much simpler than vast secret conspiracy.
