[kitchencabinetforum] PARROTS AND CZARS OF STATIST BANALITY AND PROPAGANDA

Most newsrooms of America and Europe are infested with socialist apes, and their mindset spills over into the news coverage, producing biased news stories on many issues, such as kleptocracy, taxes, environment, government, insurance, and health. Infamous Greek journalists received huge kickbacks , in order to keep their mouths shut about the astronomical kickbacks to Graecokleptocrats! http://venitism.blogspot.com

Television has long been our most popular news medium, the format that unites us and brings the world to our living rooms each night. Public television news is cherished by many in America, even though—resource-starved, politically beaten, and reportorially unambitious—it has always danced a step behind.

Mainstream media are unfair, unbalanced, banal, vane, and hoipolloi trash. Newspapers have become screed wraps of DVDs. TV news has sold its soul to rabblerousers and pullpeddlers and is full of set-up arguments. Reporters have been transformed to statist parrots who doubledip in the state treasury. Anchormen have become the czars of statist banality and propaganda. Guest coordinators have developed the deepest throats in the publicity market! The truth can be found only in the Internet. http://venitism.blogspot.com

Emily Bell, a newcomer to America, considers what she senses is missing in US media: a place to go when big things are happening. She misses the BBC, the UK's national campfire, but also understands the US won't get one, and realistic possibilities do exist.

Greek journalists are rewarded for their disgusting support of Graecokleptocracy with aggeliosimo, an unfair 20% charge on all advertising, going to the pension fund of their union. All advertisers now have to pay 43% surcharge, 23% VAT and 20% aggeliosimo. This abuse of advertisers and the media is condoned by Fourth Reich, and it puts many media out of business.

Lee Bollinger points out that just as regional institutions, including the press, necessarily evolved into national ones, national institutions must go global to meet the needs of our time. He wants an American World Service, a publicly funded US news outlet for the global age. Bollinger is the president of Columbia University and the author of Uninhibited, Robust, and Wide Open: A Free Press for a New Century.

Forestalling logic, mainly by bluff, intimidation, mudslinging, innuendos, quoting out of context, and getting out of issue, is characteristic of most political debates. Staged argument is the new trend of TV news, in order to raise their audience ratings with melodramatic excitement. Four channels dominate the Greek TV market, brainwashing Greeks in whatever direction they wish, and establishing their own agenda. Their reporters doubledip in the Greek treasury, in order to promote socialist propaganda and nonsense.

Elizabeth Jensen muses the DNA of local public television stations, which some people hope can help fill a yawning information gap by increasing their hunger and capacity for news. But in her examination of public TV culture, Jensen doesn't locate many journalism genes.

Greek nudnik anchors misinform hoi polloi surrounded by stupid parrots. TV stations always invite the same characters, those shrews who repeat the same nonsense adinfinitum and adnauseam. Most Greek journalists are in cahoots with the two statist mafias, Pasok and Nea Democratia, to dumb down hoi polloi, in order to perpetuate the corrupt status quo. That's why Greeks browse the internet in order to find the truth.

Because our brains retain stories better than any other form of information, we develop shortcuts to handle all the information we need to in the modern world. The most important shortcut is the narrative. The narrative is the quick story that has developed over a long period of time for any organization, company or important public figure. It's the way we store and organize the information. The narrative elicits and disseminates knowledge, encourages collaboration, generates new ideas, and ignites change. All TV parrots use narratives to promote their nonsense. http://venitism.blogspot.com

The Fairness Doctrine, aka Censorship Doctrine, was a policy of the United States Federal Communications Commission(FCC), introduced in 1949, that required the holders of broadcast licenses both to present controversial issues of public importance and to do so in a manner that was honest, equitable and balanced. The Fairness Doctrine should not be confused with the Equal Time rule. The Fairness Doctrine deals with discussion of controversial issues, while the Equal Time rule deals only with political candidates. In 1987, the FCC abolished the Fairness Doctrine, prompting some to urge its reintroduction through either Commission policy or Congressional legislation.

The equal-time rule specifies that radio and television broadcast stations must provide an equivalent opportunity to any opposing political candidates who request it. This means, for example that if a station gives one free minute to a candidate on the prime time, it must do the same for another candidate. However, there are four exceptions: if the air-time was in a documentary, bona fide news interview, scheduled newscast or an on-the-spot news event the equal-time rule is not valid. Since 1983, political debates not hosted by the media station are considered news events, thus may include only major-party candidates without having to offer air time to minor-party or independent candidates.

Statists want to reimpose the Fairness Doctrine, and they now have even more weapons with which they can silence citizens. And now they are seeking to expand their censorship to the internet, and beyond! Communications commissars can use different regulations, like localism and media diversity, to achieve the exact same Fairness Doctrinesque results, silencing the talk radio hosts we love and count on every day.

Commissars believe the government has a role in deciding what your local interests are, in your town on your local talk radio station, and want to not renew their licenses based on what they think you need to hear. Kleptocrats also seek to impose media diversity regulations, to force some station owners out and allow their hand-picked cronies in.

Commissars declare that given the new political climate, kleptocrats have a tremendous opportunity going forward to reinvigorate media, to ensure that the public airwaves truly deliver the kind of news and information that kleptocrats need to sustain democratic dialogue and to reflect the great diversity of West.

Mainstream journalists have been denied access to some events in marilizardist countries. Bloggers are now the main source for reporting human rights abuses. Bloggers are at the vanguard of the modern journalism. In the most basic form, bloggers, as journalists, gather and disseminate information that is of interest and relevance to the public. There are professional journalists who do this and there are people who do it as citizens. Because of new technologies there are myriad citizen journalists today. Nobody needs a license to blog. http://venitism.blogspot.com
