This only works for the intelligent bipeds the stupid bipeds will continue to lend creditability to any and all MSM that can deliver information. While cnn lost a huge amount of creditability after Tailwind they continue to be the “news” source for the unintelligent. Look at the NY Times, rocked by scandal of bogus reports and reporters they simply shrugged it off and the unintelligent continue to purchase their crap.
My personal thoughts on the subject, if you’re fed crap everyday (such as cnn and the NY Times puts out) then not only will you learn to eat crap but after a long time you’ll learn to enjoy your daily dose of crap. Few people on this green earth possess the intestinal fortitude to say, “I've had enough of this crap”.
When you have a MSM source willing to distribute hearsay and rumor at the drop of a hat you have a very powerful entity indeed. In regards to what the Maj had to say not allowing the MSM to interact with the military is a wonderful idea it has no teeth because it will not be allowed to happen. We’ve opened Pandora’s Box by embedding reporters with military units, we’re not going to change all that now.
Besides who would all the traitors leak classified information to if not for the bottom feeding MSM? How would disgruntled Senators and Congressmen promote their selfserving agendas without the scum of the MSM?
Only the recent invention of Blogs have kept many of the MSM’s outlets on their toes. Many of these individuals are the ones catching the lies put out by the MSM and exposing them as such. I for one am very happy with the FACT that the internet is now the number one news source, which means, to me anyway that more intelligent bipeds are now gathering their daily dose from the internet and not watching the mind numbing cnn or reading the kitty litter liner NY Times.
Ignore them and they will go away. Its time to change the way people think, not what they read.
