Scalded Frogs and Democrat Suppressors?
In there may be several factors
as to why our independent media is losing steam and effectiveness instead of
gaining. We are "scalding frogs", so attuned to the current conditions, that
often nothing touches us any more: A "brutalization" effect that has made us
callous and less prone to speak out or even care over outrages that would have
had much greater import only a decade ago.
Another factor relates to the fact that a "Democrat" president is currently in office, and all that entails for staunch Democrats: Dissent against these issues can cause a great deal of cognitive dissonance, illogical denial, and less than honest viewing of the subjects at hand; in support of our own personal political beliefs. But "News", and events, are really not about politics: they simply "are"... to be viewed through our own personal subjective lenses. The important point here is, that we cannot allow others to filter what we are allowed to see; especially in the independent news genre, or we are utterly lost.
Or, as was previously suggested,
we may be experiencing government / corporate influences behind the scenes that
are tempering and directing the independent media. To some extent, this is
certainly the case (and especially in regards to the topic of "Energy", the
most "guarded" and suppressed topic of all, which is more often censured than
any other). From the status quo's point of view, this is the obvious and most
"cost effective" thing for those who hold power to do... it is the definitive "no
brainer".
This "controlled opposition" and behind the scenes censure of the independent media would always be a matter of "Degrees". How much, is it growing, how fast is it growing, who is behind it, can we possibly send it into retreat, what does it mean for us all if we cannot defeat it?" Are the questions that these subjects disturbingly raise.
Now's the Time For Examination and Debate
The time to help insure the independent media remains independent and honest is now. "Taking back" the mainstream media can never happen without this: And it can be argued very effectively, that taking back this nation from a criminal corporate oligarchy will never happen without the active participation of a "freed" mainstream media first.
So it is clear that this issue of a controlled opposition and "independent" media is a vastly important one for us all; that grows with importance daily as the suppression grows. However, it is rarely discussed seriously. Perhaps a dialog is in order...? To those who disagree that this suppression is happening; we could ask what are the actual "negatives" of having such a discussion anyway?
One thing is crystal clear: That those behind such a "behind the scenes control" of the independent media would despise and fear having just such a debate most of all. The most positive aspect here is this: More awareness, more "light" shed on the subject, more people thinking about it, can only help. Suppression cannot succeed in an environment of awareness.
And perhaps some of this
under-reporting and ignoring of highly important issues that are only about
misplaced "priorities" (such as the constant political bipartisan "Rah Team" yelling that always seems to ignore the actual pressing issues that affect us
all), can be "reconsidered", if only
for a moment, while the cheerleaders stop to draw another deep breath.
