media is History
August23
my unabashed umbrage with the media is no secret to readers of this blog.
I’ll submit, and without reservation, a simple truth:
I feel that the irresponsible media is the greatest cause for a bad history that repeats itself. they abuse their position in our society and fail to use their powers for good, all too often. history books are spun by people with the perspective driven by agenda. so, history certainly does repeat itself for many a reason.
so, to be clear, bad examples are often replicated because the media fails to give us accurate information. they also leverage opinion where it is not understood.
so, bad history repeats itself because the media tells it to.
peace be to my Brothers and Sisters.

Interesting, and accurate perspective. Our view of both current and past events is rarely driven by an understanding of the facts, but rather its representation by our media, which, regardless of your lean, will be biased.
Some of this plight, while certainly promulgated by the likes of Mr. Murdoch and Mr. Bewkes, can be credited to the blind acceptance of the populous of what is being said, instead of taking the wise “trust but verify” approach. Why? Because verification takes work, and is the antithesis of lazy consumption.
And people of both party affiliations suffer from the same self-inflicted disorder. No one is immune; but everyone can choose to intentionally make and interpret history, regardless of what is mass messaged.
When the masses wake up to a government notice that their assets are claimed under imminent domain to cover debts to China, perhaps then they will study cause and effect.
