With the dumbing down of America we have the subsequent rise of Ye Auld Yellow Journalism. YJ depends on the citizens’ undiscerning addiction to information in order to insert bias and opinion as fact. It plays up emotion and downsizes facts.
The ‘demise of America’ is perhaps the most sensational and horrifying news ever. This social engineering device seems to so eloquently feed the hunger we all have for something to stop this present course of madness.
We all want to know definitively what is happening to America. Do we trust the MSM for that? Is it really a foregone conclusion? This seems a very useful tool from that corner of the world which promised to bury us as far back as the 50s. They are playing this movie for us and telling us we’re the cast of millions. Feels like someone punched the fast forward button so that we can’t absorb enough to connect dots on our own. So they tell us what we feel at each stage of the “demise.”
The YJ memes tap into our worries of what appears to be inevitable. They help us wring our hands and keep us off kilter so we are less capable for making a critical assessment of the facts. The endgame — hiding behind trusted ‘conservative’ skirts — is demoralization and hamstringing of activism.
In the case of all journalism — mainstream or alternative — beware! Be discerning! Fine tune critical thinking radar. Step back and get a panoramic view of one huge psy-ops. It’s not going to go away any time soon, but we can choose to turn it off or at least discern it.
