FAKE NEWS


I can only imagine an illiterate man in a bathrobe most of the day surrounded by by pornography and a check book taking the times in between shtuping and running a “Fortune 5,000” company thingy and sitting hour after hour watching talk shows from the 50s forward from their invention of listening to other people talking back then talking about life in show business and the occasional few sound bites of a book hawker pretending facts, that this perfect intellect and wit could do anything else than present himself as star of his own “reality show” one day.

Enough of talking about yesterday’s trash, ripening by the minute past Prime.

That there was always a east coast and then a west coast prejudice in the national points of political and economic views - news? - being attached to the source points of these visual electronic TV media things in places like Manhattan and Burbank.

That someone like Ted Turner centered his media thing CNN in his backyard of Georgia as a base for global reporting. Reporters all over the globe only needed a point on the globe to transmit sound and pictures via satellite to a home base or HQ to redistribute and sell sound and pictures to Manhattan or Mountaintop Colorado.

CNN got a foot up on others in the cable TV concept to challenge the power and seeming might of the big three then NBC, CBS, and ABC, ABC an artificial entity created in the fifties to break up the so called Monopoly of CBS, NBC.

That many places in Flatland and Mountaintop USA that only got TV transmissions from CBS in olden times.

That it is of note that CBS and NBC were privately owned at their beginnings and some of those founders of sound in the 1920s of Radio pushed smoothly into the TV Zone after WWII when mass consumption of TV entertainment and televisions pushed forward the new emerging, first here, global economy.

That CBS, under its primary owner from the fifties onward on the TV side of news, had news as a leader and loss on the books as an expenses of profits of shows like Beverly Hillbillys selling to tobacco on its commercials, a show with a heavy children’s audience.

Which leads to the concept of “Pay TV” - in the future when you would pay to get TV with no commercials - a faulty futuristic thing that sounds vaguely what was advertised with cable TV up front but the profits in this being a perfect capitalistic country demanded that PAY TV / CABLE TV / PAY THROUGH THE NOSE TV demanded the blessings and grace of the Almighty Dollar on a worthy project of any money making enterprise. A-men!

Pay TV - you pay and get to select which a dozens of your POV gets shown to U 24 7...

Which means leading with a loss product like news means that news cannot be subsidized in a mickey mouse like corporation like ABC etc.

And move the Today Show to Chicago. Well Bryant and Matt, who make all the network cash, don’t want to move to flyover country with very few Michilin starred restaurants or views of Central Park penthouses. “Lake Michigan has a view” (laughter over lunch  w/ NBS big wigs) ha - ha - ha ...

As to the opinions of the female staff of that show, they are only females and automatically have no real opinion except that of side kicks to male stars and at best “honorary” first class show biz citizenship if not in reality second class political citizenship rendered by the Creator on gender.

But let’s not go there here and now.

And injured white male privileged egos in the seventies demanded that prejudiced eastern news sources were the primary reason for the downfall of favorite Tricky Dick, that and he got caught, and he got a “raw” deal or its political lesson meaning that “truth” and or “facts” of a loaded news network with your POV is all you need to beat minor burglary charges, spying and money laundering.

And Roger who sold cigarettes on Madison Avenue in his day and applied it to Tricky Dick in 1968 and any major political competition blown away so to speak, oh the tyranny of chance and or “conincidence” - got together the fake bond capital of a ridden out of London on a rail former sheep farmer from Australia and founded - bow your heads - “Focks News”.

RNC talking points could now originate in overpriced, overpaid think tanks, full of cast off party cronies or from Ivy League unpaid interns at Focks to balance out the east coast prejudice (codes?4 an ethnic group?) news industry of CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC etc.

And the poor from the old days in Flatland and Moutaintop USA who used to only get magic TV transmission waves from CBS or NBC see nothing wrong now in watching one channel Focks for all their noise and or fake news.

Brilliant for that bathrobed rich bum to sit around and analyze what sells in America with all those ten of thousands of research hours on the bed.
