No, I must respectfully disagree. A fish rots from the head, and I have seen too much about just the composition alone (and here I am referring purely to who staffs the media, starting with the people at the top, and not even to what they do; of course I object to what they put out as well) of the media for me to ever patronize them again. I deliberately left book publishers out because the authors of books are far more disconnected from their publishers than the employees of the regular media.
The question really ought to be, is there anybody in the media who is innocent? The janitorial staff I suppose . . .
Let’s look at it this way: who among the staff of an abortion clinic is innocent? The abortion industry is all about killing infants. And the collective media, well, that just happens to be about telling collective lies and pushing collective agendas on an unsuspecting populace.
Another way of putting it might be that the people who staff the media are connected to it in much the same way that mafia members are connected to the Bonanno, Colombo, Gambino, Genovese, or the Lucchese crime families. We can’t refuse all of them can we? Surely one of those crime families must be innocent. If you don’t like the Bonano, why not choose to patronize the product of the Lucchese? Somebody could say, “Why I know a numbers guy who works for the Lucchese and you could never meet a nicer or more charming guy! You should meet him, he’s a great guy! You’re too judgemental.”
The people in the mafia aren’t all murderers, some of them are bookies, or numbers guys, or con-men. They aren’t so bad. And some of them, are just liars. What’s so bad about that?
If you get into one field of crime, pretty soon you will be into others, and while the mafia might have started off with bootlegging and murder, it didn’t really take them long to get into other scams. And the media just started off with lying. Of course after a while it was lying enough to justify wars and mass murder in the middle East, but, what the hey, they can’t have gotten into other fields of crime, can they?
Nope, I’m just done with them. I watched my last television sometime in late 2007. Never even made the switch to digital from analog. If I hadn’t caught a glimpse of television screens in other people’s houses, I wouldn’t have any idea at all about what digital was like, not that I care.
The media helped launch wars, helped push abortion (to the point of straight out infanticide as of late), gay marriage, the legalization of dope, utterly immoral politicians, and lots of other criminal agendas. No, I’m afraid I can’t patronize anything from them, nothing at all. I’m done, I’m out.
I am however solicitous enough to do some pro-bono elaborations. If I may ask: What are you carrying on your shoulder in your picture?
