Tin foil not needed

  At least in Germany, MSM have definitely been moving in direction of the far right after the last federal elections a year ago when the fascists became the strongest party.
  Very recently, when the socialists won Berlin - Germany’s capital and largest city - they were immediately smeared as “anti-semitic” (of course) and “having connections to criminal gangs” by some parts of the MSM which I thought had resisted this trend. I quit their shit on the spot.

  Born too late for the propaganda to be “here’s a thriving family wage for finishing high school”

  BBC News used to be a respected, if small-c conservative, news organisation. Now it’s just an embarrassment. The rest of the BBC is worth saving, but the news division needs all the people at the top fired and not rehired, and everyone below whatever level is appropriate (I don’t know the inner workings) seriously considered for firing. Then the charter needs amending to clearly and unequivocally state that the news must remain independent of government or corporate meddling - probably need an oversight committee to ensure that, but how they are chosen is left as an exercise to the reader!

    As a radio nerd from the UK, my love of the BBC is rock solid. The radio, TV, and technology wings of the corporation are right up the with the NHS as something we should be rightly proud of.

    But I get a few moments of genuine anxiety when I’m listening to 6Music while cooking dinner, and they go to the news. What will this bulletin’s headline be? Reform’s plans for if they ever get to form a government, or how many poor people landed on our shores in a small boat today? I get genuinely angry, to the point that I’m more like to roll the broadcast back by a few minutes so I can skip the news entirely. God bless BBC Sounds.

      Same. Exactly the same including radio station of choice (though I also like Radio 1 Dance at times)

  My guess is that back in the day TV was one of the main source of entertainment, so you had a lot of eyes on it, nowadays only dead brain people watch it so they can go all out between propaganda and drama, also it’s probably easier for some stuff to get lost as it’s mostly bullshit and almost no one gonna save it.

  Bernie Sanders is doing to take control of all the toothbrush factories. You will be assigned a toothbrush bristle hardness designated by your socialist dentist. You will no longer have the freedom to choose your toothbrush. If you drive a lifted truck you will be assigned to work in a gay cake factory that only bakes cakes for gay weddings.

  I have not watched TV in years. Is there anything specific you are talking about?

    That Landman show, the one where Billy Bob Thorton literally tilts at windmills, and goes off on this whole speech filled with falsehoods, had oil companies in the credits.

    Or just mis/underinformed. You can’t know what you haven’t learned yet and not all people have easy access to reliable sources of information.

    That’s how it got so bad before the majority of the population noticed it. And also how it continues to be allowed to persist.
