Media offers the anti-truth, and nothing but
by Mr. Chuckles
| Oct. 25, 2007 |
Lately I have clicked on article links and thinking, this could be about the US! For example:
But no, that is about Burma, not the US.
And, when I read an article I often find myself reversing the names and places. The article below would make more sense that way, like this:
|

This is what the Miami Herald describes
as police "relaxing" a citizen.
|
| | Excerpt, with the nouns switched: President Castro issued a stern warning yesterday that Cuba will not accept a political transition in the United States in which power merely shifts from one Bush brother to another rather than to the American people. ... |
Having seen it over and over again, I have come to expect the professional new media to provide information that is so totally slanted and couched in terms deferential to "authority" that it is 180 degrees from the truth, and is thus, Anti-Truth.
For example, is "relaxed" the Truth or Anti-Truth in the article below?

Cops cleared in 'Don't Tase me, bro' case
Excerpt: "Don't Tase me, bro," Meyer, 21, squealed after police put the screaming, combative student down on the ground and relaxed him with 50,000 volts from a Taser. |
If I were authoring that piece I would have said "they fucked him up with 50,000 volts".
Spasmodic convulsions are precisely the opposite of what any honest reporter would call "relaxation". But hey, that's a Florida newspaper, where the voters have either been replaced by Pod People or are utterly senile, thus giving the authorities nearly as much unquestioned power as the warden of an Alabama chain gang. :-)
Because so much of American reality is hidden or stamped "Top Secret", or is purposely muddled by lying liars and the newspapers who coddle them, it is inevitable that one day this whole outhouse of official malfeasance will be knocked over. I hope the fans of the TV shows, "Law and Order" and "CSI" will be ready to eagerly support thorough prosecution of some really bad people who get outed in the process -- on that day, finally, the non-stop official propaganda will actually be put to good use.

P.S. I do hope we find some mercy in our hearts for those who confess and repent of their crimes against America! Imagine high ex-officials doing tearful Carla Faye Tuckers on live TV! That will make for some high ratings and the advertising money will be stunning!

Our front page is free from nudity and profanity, but interior pages and external links may not be safe for work, and you may be shocked, offended, or in trouble with your boss. A link doesn't imply that we agree with every sentence and every sentiment on every site we link to. We use our noggins, and suggest you use yours.
Anything sent to Unknown News may be published. If you don't want it published, say so plainly. Of course, we publish all incoming hate mail.

Unknown News is more fun and more informative with your participation, so please don't be shy. Consider yourself invited to speak your mind.
Because we respect peoples' privacy, we do not keep records of friends' and contributors' contact information. This means we can't forward private communications between readers and writers, but we always welcome dialogue for publication.
When we publish incoming emails, we usually edit out the sender's last name, email address, or anything else that would tend to uniquely identify the author (if we slip up, please let us know). But if your email is unambiguously intended only to annoy, insult, or threaten us, we'll publish all the details, and leave it on-line forever.
We're especially interested in hearing and considering different perspectives. All we ask is that you conduct yourself sanely and civilly. For the most productive dialogue, it helps if you'll cite a specific article or concept we've gotten wrong.
You can contact Helen & Harry at <newsuneed at yahoo.com>. If that address ever fails, our back-up email address is <unknownnews at inbox.com>.
But please, don't email us unless you're really and truly, honestly, actually trying to send the publishers of News a communication you're not sending to anyone or everyone else.
Please don't send attachments or other cr*p we don't want.
If you're trying to reach us but getting no reply, it's probably because you've sent us cr*p we don't want, so we're filtering your emails into the trash, unopened and unread.
If you'd like to have your email address unblocked, simply send a sincere apology (from an un-blocked email address).
