Do you every wonder why the media fills our heads with celeb trials & prozac adds instead of war info?

Answer 1

As someone who works in the media, let me tell you why... The news media doesn't really care about the war or other world news or about trying to put out stories to inform the public. I mean, that's kind of part of it. But the bottom line is the money. The media is dedicated to airring what people are watching b/c that jacks up ratings and allows the show to charge more for commercial ads which make more money.

The coverage of Anna Nicole Smith seemed exhaustive to me, but ratings for a lot of news shows (even Fox News Channel and CNN) went up a lot when they covered her death. That's why the story lingered.

So, yes, more people care about celebrity gossip over war info. The reason is that the war encompasses different cultures far away. Celebrity news is interesting to people b/c they can relate to the individual nature of the stars. Also, following the celebs life stories closely allows the average Joe to dream of being in that position as well. Of course, I'd like to think that most people in Micheal Vick's position wouldn't get into dog fighting. But I guarantee you Vick has more fans than Bush does right now.

Basically, if the ratings of war coverage surpassed celebrity news then you'd see more of the war info.

Answer 2

Yes, corporate media and news outlets are always after the profit. The true players at the top of information dissemination are engaged and committed to a globalist War of Confusion on the public.

The goal of this war is to keep the consumer fat, not trusting their own judgment, and distracted. Deception of the public is easier when you're confused--whether they're trying to sell you a gasoline guzzling automobile that should be outlawed or unsafe products from communist China that should be banned. Behind the unfocused back of the "consumer," their freedoms and the sovereignty of their country is being destroyed while the globalist agenda is being instituted.

The media is not your friend and is not purveying world news. The media is a purveyor of confusion and deception.

For one, they are mostly graduates of university-based schools of journalism. None of those schools has core-curriclum requirements in history, political science, natural science, geography or foreign cultures. Secondly, they are employed by for-profit broadcasters and everything is guided by ratings, because that's the benchmark the sales department uses to sell that ad space. Third, the anchors belong to the same trade union as Jay Leno, David Letterman and Jimmy Kimmel.
So, the reports are coming in from folks who don't know one word of Arabic, have no background on Al Queda, have no familiarity with the history or location of the Middle East and are pushed by the polls conducted by their sales departments that shows war news causes viewers to change channels.
To me, one of the greatest symptoms of this state of things happened on MSNBC a few years ago. The anchor turned to one of the "experts" in a three-person panel on the set and said: "Would you care to speculate on those assumptions?".

Answer 5

They do this because the media knows that teens don;t really pay much attention to war....they know that teens are more interested in celebs because it gives them also a pleasure deep inside when they fall or do something bad and get in trouble...

Answer 6

Not really since the entertainment industry owns the news channels/media (or whatever). It's to be expected unfortunately, real stuff is not what they want us to know.

Answer 7

No. Just as I don't wonder why the capitalist-fascist media doesn't simply state the fact that BushCIA-PNAC did 9/11.

Answer 8

They don't WANT you to know about the war. They want you to think everything is going as good as ever. If everyone started actually thinking about what's going on, they just might figure out things they wouldn't want you to know....

Answer 9
