Greetings good citizen, today's editorial in the NY Times asks 'who' will defend the media while even they know the 'Fake News' epidemic is a 'self-inflicted wound' caused by the mediums 'owners'.
We may as well ask when is 'blackmail' blackmail? Are the owners of news outlets liable for the 'spin' they put on content?
But if we switch the line of inquiry around we can readily see where the 'info-tainment' that passes for News these days routinely fails to deliver the goods.
The millions of homeless are invisible in the suburbs because the majority of the 'shelters' are in the cities...but like the GWOT one almost never hears news items that speak of either the progress or the plight of the victims of the rapidly collapsing global commerce system?
Is this because it 'can't' be fixed or because...and let's be clear about this...the people who own the media that ALSO OWN the bulk of commercial ventures under capitalism and HAVE NO INTEREST IN CHANGING?
Wait a minute Slick. Come to think of it...NOT ONE of the twenty-odd candidates for Commander-in Chief has muttered word one about how they are going to rein in the system that exploits the PLANET'S Citizens at every opportunity.
Remember, 'stupid' is the act of believing dumb shit. Only a moron believes WE CAN'T do better...(and more than just 'a little' better too!)
The homeless population SHOULD BE ZERO...same goes for the unemployed but it seems anything for a buck capitalism can't manage that and those that 'fail to make themselves useful' are victims of their own failure...failure that has nothing to do with the utter absence of opportunity.
Pick up a gun to solve your personal cash flow problem and you will soon get added to the 'income stream' of the 'For Profit' prison system that exists to keep Capitalism's victims off the streets [and competing with society's 'legitimate criminals'.]
But NONE of that is 'news' because stories that you receive obliquely are treated as the (rare) exception rather than the rule they want you not to think about. That's what your 'legislators' are for...to act in your behalf for the public welfare.
Millions and millions of homeless and a commerce system we have NO WAY of repairing.
If you fail to control BOTH wages AND prices the 'end result' will be widespread destitution.
But YOU knew that, didn't you? [You DIDN'T? Well, ya don't suppose that is 'FAKE NEWS' too?]
What you DON'T KNOW would shock you to your core.
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday, Head.

How can you be expected to make informed decisions without accurate information? [Rhetorical question, nobody cares what YOU think!]
