Freak! Freak! Freak! The freakish government of Greece steals computers! Robbing dissident bloggers and locking them in jail is a freakish behavior that does not belong to the European Union, not even to this galaxy! No wonder some vain Greeks boast they come from Andromeda galaxy! But guess what? The mainstream media never report this freakish behavior of the Greek government!
Basil Venitis points out 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! Omerta galore! http://venitism.blogspot.com
Having a revolving door between politics and journalism is not necessarily a bad thing. Indeed, persons with extensive experience, regardless of ideology, can be a great asset, but only if they are honest. However, many times a package of partisan ideology as news is the ticket to the revolving door! Many disgusting parrots eventually become MPs.
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. Omerta
galore! The truth can be found only on the Internet.
Venitis notes 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.
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.
Venitis laments 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.
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.
Media moguls are often right; that's how they got to be moguls. But many
companies today operate like Russian nesting dolls, where one large figure is
actually made up of many smaller ones. These organizations present a unified
face to the outside world, but rely heavily on other, usually smaller, companies
or external individuals to conduct many of their activities. That's exactly the
Achilles Heel of media moguls!
Journalists at News of the World hired people outside the company to illegally
hack into the phones of select individuals. That these hackers seem not to be
News of the World employees illustrates the Russian nesting doll model, which
contains the seeds of moral hazard, since it allows for the plausibility of
denial. While we readily recognize such a hazard in the food and apparel
industries and the need to secure all elements of their production chain, most
other industries have yet to recognize such a hazard.
A media mogul controls his company. His company controls much of a market. He
hungers for influence in politics and society. He lusts for attention. He is
narcissistic and vane. He knows only his strengths, but not his weaknesses. He
inspires endless anecdotes about his ego. Omerta galore! Murdoch, Maxwell, and
the Hearsts, when they still managed, fit those criteria. Rupert Murdoch is the
last media mogul, a breed nesting dolls are responsible for killing in an act of
mogulcide!
Media moguls are soon to be extinct, for many reasons. Media institutions' lock
on content creation and distribution is over. The risk and cost of starting new,
large-scale media properties is too great. Control of scarcity in closed markets
led to moguls' and conglomerates' consolidation; now, in an abundant economy,
what used to be their assets are now their liabilities.
In the media business, news items require fair and secure sourcing, despite the
fact that a freelancer small doll may be crafting the story. But at the
News of the World, the people who were asked to hack the phones were apparently
hired by journalists, but were not journalists themselves. Omerta galore! This
gave them the freedom to obey norms different from those of their employers.
Needless to say, journalists are not supposed to act illegally.
There you could see Murdoch's advantage and disadvantage. He let his trusted
managers do as they pleased, but they tried to please him. That's the argument
in favor of his direct culpability in the hacking scandal. He fostered a
seat-of-the-pants culture where people didn't have to be told to go too far,
where, as he demonstrated before Parliament, the Murdochs themselves do not take
responsibility. Omerta galore! But that's over now. Murdoch has lost the
influence his newspapers gave him. He may lose control of his company. His heirs
will not take it over. The mogul is extinct. God save the Queen! http://venitism.blogspot.com
