All The News That Fits They'll Print

By Brooks A. Mick, M.D.

You probably don't know that the glaciers of western Norway have been expanding and advancing. That wouldn't fit with the global warming propaganda that the media wishes to sell you.

You probably don't know that the economy has been doing very well. That doesn't fit with the "bad Bush economy" propaganda that the media wishes to sell you.

You probably don't know that job growth has been very good and that there are not just a lot of entry level jobs but also a lot of higher paying technical jobs available also. That doesn't fit with the unemployment propaganda that the media wants to sell you.

Even when a newspaper reports the good news, as in this statement from the Christian Science Monitor, "This good news about the breadth of job creation comes against a backdrop of labor-market anxiety that has persisted despite the economy's solid overall footing" they go on to bemoan old bad news as if it is current and relevant.

You probably don't know that the numbers of car bombs in Iraq has dropped off markedly in the past month or two. That would't fit with the Iraq War propaganda that the media wants to sell you.

You probably don't know that Brad Pitt has become a henpecked suckup to Angelina Jolie and that she's already grown tired of his "sensitive New-Age guy" persona and is thinking of dumping him even before their baby is born. Oh, well, yes, you probably do know that. That fits with the media agenda of feeding you tabloid pablum and catastrophe both real and fabricated and ignoring all the good and important news of the world.
