THE NEWS

NEWS MEDIA

THIS IS THE NEWS

 “MURDER! RAPE! BLOOD! WAR!

delivered daily to your door!

DEATH and MAYHEM! FILM AT 4:00!“

The News will keep you well informed!

 Good news is never fit to print;

Bad News Headlines make a mint!

The Press make sure you’ll get upset

each time you watch your TV set.

 “IT ISN’T SAFE TO WALK THE STREETS“

“STAY AT HOME BENEATH YOUR SHEETS!”

“CRIMINALS LURK ANYWHERE YOU LOOK!”

It must be true…. it was printed in a book!

 “WE NEED MORE GUNS AND THOUGHT POLICE“.

“THE WORLD WILL NEVER BE AT PEACE“.

“DRUGS AND CRIME ARE EVERYWHERE“.

The Press makes sure that we’re “aware”….

 Shocking love-life exposes!

Who will they prosecute today?

“THE PUBLIC HAS THE RIGHT TO TRUTH”.

The Press will judge and execute!

 Is Free Speech an equal right?

Only for those with financial might

to pay the advertising fees.

The Press is told who to appease.

 Lies and rumors, the “news” abounds –

they’ll make it up when there’s none around.

“The truth be damned!  I’m a reporter…

It’s my job to cause disorder”!

 Like l0bsters in a bubbling pot

who claw and pull to reach the top –

free from miserable despair,

The Press is boiling you in fear!

 Every day we all begin

a bright new hopeful day.

Life’s a game we all can win.

It’s lots of fun to play.

 Wake up! Don’ get sucked in!

Reporters wearing pearly grins

tell you that life’s all bad;

The Press are all completely mad!

 Turn off your TV! Enjoy your day.

In spite of what “the experts” say,

there is no need to be afraid.

Live and Love another day!

TRANSPARENT TRANSPARENCY

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

Personally, I spent many years of my pre-retirement business career in the “branding” industry.  What I observed from this kind of work sickened my soul.  I finally quit, and resolved that being a “starving artist” is infinitely more gratifying than being a “corporate whore”, regardless of the paycheck.

My clients were corporations who wanted to influence people to pay money to buy their product or service.  Usually, any method, trick, gimmick, lie, and covert strategy that money can buy is acceptable in corporate “marketing”.  However, “transparency” or “truth” are NOT acceptable. The bigger and more powerful the corporations, governments, etc., , the less “truth in advertising”, is allowed.  It’s a kind of  unwritten law like “never let the other team know your game plan”, (or your true intentions).  Corporate marketing is an “us” against “them” of mind-control game.  A “brand” is an artificially contrived “false facade” of “acceptable lies”.  On Wall Street, and in corporations and governments it’s all, and only, about money and power.  No rules apply.

The following video investigates the subject of transparency in advertising, a talk given by Morgan Spurlock (who revealed that “McFoods” do NOT decay in his film “SuperSize Me“, and are, therefore, NOT food.)
