For decades, the mainstream
media in the United States was
accustomed to being able to tell
the American people what to
think. Unfortunately for them, a whole lot of Americans are
starting to break free from that paradigm and think for themselves.
A Gallup survey from earlier this year found that 60 percent of all
Americans “have little or no trust” in the mainstream media. More
people than ever are realizing that the mainstream media is giving
them a very distorted version of “the truth” and they are
increasingly seeking out alternative sources of information.
In the United States today, just six giant media corporations control
In the United States today, just six giant media corporations control
the mainstream media. Those giant media corporations own
television networks, cable channels, movie studios, radio stations,
newspapers, magazines, publishing houses, music labels and even
many prominent websites.
But now thanks to the Internet the mainstream media no longer has
a complete monopoly on the news. In recent years the “alternative
media” has exploded in popularity. People want to hear about the
things that the mainstream media doesn’t really want to talk about.
They want to hear news that is not filtered by corporate bosses and
government censors. They want “the truth” and they know that
they are not getting it from the mainstream media.
We are watching a media revolution happen, and many in the
mainstream media are totally freaking out about it. In fact, some in
the mainstream media have even begun publishing articles that
mock the American people for not trusting them. For example, a
recent CNN article entitled “Still ‘paranoid’ after all these years”
portrayed Americans that don’t trust the media as paranoid
conspiracy theorists that have left rationality behind…
Ever have the feeling you’re being lied to by the newsmedia, the authorities, the corporate world? That somebody — or something — is out to get you?You’re not alone.
Welcome to 21st-century America.Look around. Trust is hitting historic lows. Just a third ofAmericans have a favorable viewof the federal government, a decline of 31% since 2002, according to the Pew Center for People and the Press. Gallup has Congress’ approval rating is in the low 20s, after nearing single digits last summer. And the news media aren’t much better off.“Negative opinions about the performance of news organizations now equal or surpass all-time highs on nine of 12 core measures the Pew Research Center has been tracking since 1985,” a Pew report said.
The article goes on to make it sound like it is very irrational not to
trust the media, but in this day and age it is imperative that we all
learn to think for ourselves. Blindly trusting someone else to do
your thinking for you is very dangerous.
Anyone that does not acknowledge that the mainstream media has
an agenda is not being honest with themselves. The mainstream
media presents a view of the world that is very favorable to their
big corporate owners and the big corporations that spend billions of
dollars to advertise on their networks. The mainstream media is the
mouthpiece of the establishment, and the worldview being pushed
on the big networks is going to be consistent with the economic,
financial, political and social goals of the establishment. The
mainstream media loves to talk about things that fit with that
agenda, and they don’t like to talk about things that suggest that
there is something wrong with that agenda.
