(11,366 posts)It's a clear example of corporate media. Propaganda. Period.
Look, I was a crime reporter for 13 year, 12 years ago. I've been in PR/Marketing ever since, not because I was fired or let go, but because I divorced and needed a better paying job at more regular hours because my son was a toddler. So, I took my Communications degree and went into a very boring, but more lucrative field.
The thing is, having been on both sides of that coin, I'm VERY keen to propaganda. I actually HATE producing and have, thus far, succeeded in my job of now 8 years in not having to do it because they listen to me and WANT to be respectful to their audience. I'm paid well, have free health insurance and federal holidays. If all corporate jobs were like this, we'd be great as a company. Oh... I did starve for years first.
Our media sucks like shit. All of it. They won't question and, when they do, they're treated like Jorge Ramos.
This country is on a downward trajectory to "Idiocracy" faster that you know.
