This is such a needed and well-articulated post by James Corbett about the controlling nature of the modern-day news cycle and how he won’t be compelled to chase the tail of the MSM, as the Alternative News is too often wont to do, by reacting to every car-ramming attack and whatnot.
I couldn’t agree more. The “news” is so fake, the term “Fake News” is redundant. I won’t be posting any stories about the imbecilic Twitterstorms about NFL players protesting during the National Anthem and the fulminations of Trump. I’ve been staying away from stories that you can find blaring over and over in the MSM
In fact, I think that when something especially trifling begins to hog the headlines, we should look for that from which it may be distracting our attention away!
If the “news” is some fake, scripted garbage cooked-up by the CIA, why should we pay attention, let alone weigh in on every stupid installment?
Hi James. I have just discovered your website, podcast, etc. and am really enjoying it. I found it here, if that helps you. https://www.activistpost.com/2011/06/10-most-influential-people-in.html
There ya go again, Alexandria, finding an article that expresses exactly and amplifies my thinking.
So glad we got rid of our TVs over ten years ago!
Here again a man with programmed glasses.
Programming takes palce everywhere.
The question is: which programm is asked for. The one of love or the one of hate.
Then you can say we program ourselves, and that would be true as we repeat programs. The language we speak with and think with is programmed. I think you missed his point. There is an alternative to group-think and we benefit from alternative views, and following ‘the news’ distracts us from what may really be important. I agree with other comments, I turned off my TV long ago. The Big issues Corbett sees are not my big issues. I feel I am seeing much broader than he… https://lipstick-and-war-crimes.org/end-bugs-birds/
My point is the alternative to hate is …………love.
By self love, not egoism!, love is a programm where human beings heal themselves.
If there appear not a healing, in this case love was not present.
