SHOCKING NEWS!

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

Are you upset by the stuff you read, hear or see in “the news”?

The most over-used catchword in the mainstream media crusade to castrate your mind and crush you soul is the word “SHOCKING”.  The so-called “news” sources search the entire world to find (or make up) the most disgusting, disastrous, tragic examples of war, murder, mayhem, insanity, chaos, crime and destruction.  Then they consolidate all of this garbage into very nasty bite-sized text or sound bits so it can be jamming down your dim-witted throat in the micro-seconds of your dismal, drug-impaired attention span!

Guess what, campers?  “The News” is intentionally designed to KEEP YOU BEING UPSET.  
When you’re upset with life you are more likely to give up, take drugs, be afraid to go outside, and just stay a home and be mentally and physically ill.

What I find to be the most “SHOCKING” thing about  “commercial” media (including network  and cable TV, radio, the internet, YouTube and Facebook) is the number of people who have already lost their intelligence, discretion, and ability to reason while they’re tuned into it.  If you believe ANYTHING you see or hear without investigating the source of the material, you deserve to become a brain-dead zombie.

Before you “believe” anything you see or read, ANSWER THESE FIVE QUESTIONS:

1) WHO IS  THE SOURCE OF THE MATERIAL?

(The names of the persons or organizations who wrote, produced and distributed it)

2) WHO PAID FOR IT?

3) WHO WILL PROFIT FROM IT?

4) WHAT IS THE UNWRITTEN or UNSPOKEN “SPIN” OF THE MESSAGE IT CONTAINS?

5) WHAT IS THE INTENDED EFFECT ON ME , THE COMMUNITY, THE COUNTRY and THE WORLD?

If you can’t answer these questions, just turn it off!  You will sleep better at night and have a happier life.

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!
