What the mainstream media doesn’t report is often more important than what it does. From Eric Peters at ericpetersautos.com:
It’s sometimes possible to know a lot by what they’re not telling you – as for example about what’s happening in France.
And Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeev.
There is little to no “news” about either in the “mainstream” press; i.e., the corporate-owned press; i.e., the press that is controlled by an interlocking nexus of fewer than six corporations.
It was once the case that large American cities had about that many independent newspapers. The latter in honorable italics to differentiate it from the “media,” which “reports” that which it is told to “report” by those who own it, as in Brought to You by PPfizer.
And what not to report.
As for example whatever’s going on in France right now. You may recall – before the “media” was told to stop reporting about it – that the country was in the throes of widespread rioting to the extent that the government appeared to be losing control of things. This is what you might call an interesting story – and yet, the “media” doesn’t report.
I tells us a great about what the media’s owners want us to know about. And what they do not want us to know about.
