25 Facts That The Mainstream Media Doesn't Really Want To Talk About Right Now

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 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 corporate 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…



<blockquote>
Ever have the feeling you’re being lied to by the news media, the
authorities, the corporate world? That somebody — or something — is out
to get you? You’re not alone.
Welcome to 21st-century America. </blockquote>
<blockquote>
Look around. Trust is hitting historic lows. Just a third of Americans have a favorable view
of 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. </blockquote>
<blockquote>
'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.</blockquote>
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.

Of course the mainstream media has to mention that he is on vacation

not making a big deal out of it because they love Obama. And it sounds
like Obama is having quite a good time on his little vacation…
<blockquote>
The president is expected to indulge in some of his favorite pastimes
on the island where he was born and raised: golf, an expedition for the
local treat 'shave ice,' and an evening out with family and friends.
He hit the links at the nearby Marine Corps base under sunny skies on
Saturday afternoon.</blockquote>

country.
