What is most interesting to me lately, is I see terms used in here that didn't seem popular. Now they show up in media. For instance. The article used "spin-doctor". How funny is that?
Many points from the article jumped out at me, but here is one.
Nobody outside the Murdoch circle knows the full answer, but I suspect it is quite prosaic: like the Wizard of Oz, Mr Murdoch's power derived from the irrational fright politicians took from his occasional naked displays of it. The Kinnock "light bulb" headline was probably the signal moment. He was powerful because people believed he had the power, and that editors like Mrs Brooks and Mr Coulson probably had a file on everybody bigger than MI5's, and so you should never, ever, cross them.
I've always suspected the Elites have been using the news to control people. Not just by propaganda, but by intimidation. Once in awhile you see some politician get taken down by a picture like "Weiner Gate" and wonder if they did something to piss off the wrong people.
When China shut off rare earth elements to the United States awhile back a news story came out about chinese bullets being used in Darfur. Couple days later there was a story that said the rare earths were being shipped to the USA again.
Seems like the media has influence on about everything. Countries/people that cross the wrong people/countries. News is either fabricated, dug up, or whatever to discredit and ruin anybody (or even countries) who cross the wrong folks.
I think it is becoming apparent the media is near the center of all these strange power plays we scratch our heads about everyday here. Like we experience when we see all this negative study stuff out of the UK news papers. Or these strange CFS TV clips. Not a leap of logic given the NOTW scandle.
One other point. Andrew Ross Sorkin(of the new york times) mentioned this morning on CNBC TV that two private investigators(from a tabloid?) were following the Scottland yard police investigators as they were doing a murder investigation. How strange is that? Makes one wonder exactly what other purposes the media/tabloids can be used for????
Everybody is waking up quick. Let's hope it is soon enough.
