Up until 2006, when I was close to a highly publicized case, I believed that most of our media did straight reporting. I believed they gave me as much information on each side of an issue so that I could form my own opinions.
I trusted them. I did not ever think that they chose villains and victims, but they do. I never believed I was being manipulated. But I was.
Because one time, I knew the truth. Like you do now.
Everything you read and see from our press is selective,shaped, and edited to drive a metanarrative. Please remember this when they spoon feed you opinions in the International press. Remember what they have done to JC...how they have created a bully wife beater. Remember how they have wrapped MM in pink cotton, the pitiful abused wife, fabulous Mother.
Think about what people are being "sold" and what has been left out.
Tonight if you see CNN International or read the our "prestige" press...remember.
Remember the emotional manipulation and the "selective" empathy.
You are seeing it now right before your eyes.
