Our media is driving us further and further apart. I have been noticing this the past 12 years.
Just yesterday, a White House Correspondent from CNN named MJ Lee wrote an article declaring that Biden had inherited a vaccine plan that had to be started from scratch. It was retweeted and shared thousands and thousands of times. I saw it on Facebook from some of my more left-leaning friends and all over Twitter. People were running with it. MJ Lee never once cited her “sources.” There was nothing there.
Then later, Cuomo and Fauci appears on the same network, and both admit this news isn’t true. I can’t make this up.
It’s usually easier to find Fox vs CNN on spin, but when it’s one network, it’s kind of funny. Will CNN retract the original misspeak from Ms. Lee? Of course not. Damage done. The goal is to make the previous administration look as bad as possible, and Fox News will do the same thing the next time a Republican is in office (if that ever happens again, I have my doubts).
The number one goal of media is to make money. In order to make money, the media needs us to click on the links, watch the channel on TV, or support them in some way that is measurable for their advertisers. Why do you think the Super Bowl commercial timeslots are so expensive? Millions watch the Super Bowl. If the media reported nonbiased news, it wouldn’t be nearly as interesting, shocking or otherwise crazy. Humans crave negativity and assuming the worst of any situation. If everything in the world was great and the media in turned reported that great news, we’d turn it off and go have a picnic.
I found I was much happier as a human being when I unplugged the news completely. It was April 2008, and I was a new mother. I didn’t want my newborn to hear the negative news and so I removed it from my life. I knew he couldn’t understand it, but I didn’t want that negativity out there for his brain. During those years after my first and second child were born, I noticed I was a much happier person. I didn’t listen to the news all the time. I didn’t really know what was going on. I knew that I was a new mother with these wonderful children, and I that I was really tired.
Today I sit and ponder about the last 12 years and how I’ve allowed the cancer of the news creep back into my life. I notice how I have to have my fix. I have to click on the link and see what else happened. What did Trump tweet this time? Twitter banned Trump? Biden is going to save the world? Trump is impeached again? BLM riots this past summer? COVID-19 everywhere? No plan on vaccines? Unemployment is up? The market is crashing?
The truth is. I got up today. I am healthy. My husband doesn’t have cancer that is detectable. My kids love me. I have too many pets in my house, but I love them all. I changed careers 4 years ago and it’s been fun learning something so incredibly powerful and new. I’m working with my father. I had hip surgery and biking again. I have some wonderful friends who love me for me. I have a wonderful life.
I think I’ll stick to that and the rest I’m going to boot to the trash. Just know, the media would love nothing more for us all to get out in the streets and punch each other. They would have something to report and something to feed the cancer I call the media. Until we learn how much we are actually controlled by them, we’ll continue to allow them to be our pimps. They are pimping are eyes and our thoughts to put money in their business all the while destroying our society.
