When did you first realize the media is propagandistic bullshit?

[renard_ruse]

For me, it was when I was in high school. A group of my friends went out on a weeknight driving around, drinking. Fortunately, being a good student who had a test to study for the next day I stayed home that night. My friends apparently got pretty wasted and got some spray paint and went around the neighborhood spray painting cars, garages, walls, and driveways.

They mostly painted swear words, Satanic symbols, names of popular music groups of the time, smily faces, pro-drug messages, etc. However one of the four of them was into Nazi shit and also painted some Swastikas, SS symbols, along with the majority of non-racial stuff.

Keep in mind this was in the late 80s. The neighborhood had frequently been plagued with non-white gang vandalism and the media didn't care. Nothing to see here folks.

The next day the lead story on all the local news stations, and newspapers as far away as Los Angeles had screaming front page headlines "quiet neighborhood rocked by racist hate crime" or something similar. It was mind blowing. Seriously? No concern about the Satanism, the profanity, or the pro-drug messages. Nothing about all the recent non-white gang graffiti. Just insane hysteria about maybe 10 percent of the vandalism that was racial.

Right then and there my whole life changed. I realized how biased not just the media was but the entire society. I realized everything is a conspiracy and used to demonize certain groups and make other groups appear to he victims.

So if you wonder why I have the beliefs I do, there it is.

Thanks for letting us know your privileged SoCal peer group thought that getting wasted and vandalizing other people's possession with Nazi symbols was no big deal.

That does fill in a few blanks.

and we're not even going to get into the glaring fact that he would've joined in on his buddies' young white SoCal lad adventures with the adjacent junior Goebbels had it not been a school night when Mama woulda spanked him.

Ren-Dawg here is a genuine a piece of work, meng!

I am very shocked to learn that you hung out with nazis in your youth.

It's no big deal when "progressives" and black supremacist do it.

Why should it be a big deal when anyone else does???

When I kept finding out on my own that they were lying to cover up for their masters and favorites.

 

[Philthy_Phil]

Tldr: His racist friends spray painted swastikas on cars and the news didn't report about evil black people.

I became aware of this media bullshit problem when I checked out the sources of your posts. I concluded that your simple mind had been brainwashed.

Love me some George Putnam.

George Putnam is pure comedy gold. The Ted Baxter character on the Mary Tyler Moore Show is based on him.

Here's the full version of his Perversion for Profit pornography rant.

It's the only thing I ever agreed with Donald Trump with. The MSM is largely fake (which includes Fox as much as it does MSNBC). And I hate them for making me agree with that man.

This is pretty.much a meaningless.statement which is personal and has no broader meaning.

What media is bullshit?
What do you mean by bullshit...it isn't clear?
How do you know nonone notice anything but you and your "friends" activities? Because you got caught?
It wasn't ok what others where doing as well as what you where doing...never heard of two wrongs don't make a right?

This is a piss poor example of a life changing event!

Ignoring the self-pitying and unintentionally revealing OP, the answer to his question would be in 1999-2000 when the media convinced millions of otherwise-intelligent people that Al Gore had said he invented the Internet.

Fairly early in my life there were three incidents.

In 1979 I was deployed in Central America (primarily Costa Rica and the Honduras). Had the unique experience one night in our forward operating base after a few days of shooting it out with rebels (marxists, communists) prompted after a raid on a local village. We were all sitting around in post-combat come down and we watched Hodding Carter on television pronouncing without challenge that their were no American troops involved...that was a what the fuck moment. I guess we didn't shoot it out the day before.

Then, in the early eighties when I was a police officer we had a reporter from the Washington Post doing a story about law enforcement on a reservation - he spent a week doing a ride along, experiencing it first hand and then a few weeks later the Post story came out - and had nothing to do with what he saw and experienced. He took a local family that basically ran a robber roost clearinghouse for stolen goods and profiled them as "victims of police oppression". No mention of the fact that their house was a clearing house for most of the stolen goods. No mention that, while he was present, we'd raided the place and spent hours cataloging all the stolen crap in the attic and the crawlspace.

There was a shining light in that experience though - during his ride along, he and I and another cop went to serve an arrest warrant on a local with a reputation for resisting arrest. I told him to stand behind me and be ready. When the subject decided to resist arrest, he shoved the other officer aside (knocked her into a bathtub full of shit, which was amusing in it's own right), then lowered his head and charged me. He was a big guy, a former high school football star, so I was expecting him to try and tackle me, so the moment his head dropped I dodged. He went sprinting by me and BODY-SLAMMED the reporter all the way back into the living room. Very funny.

But, it was, from the reporting angle, the tendency in the media to approach a story with a narrative line already pre-determined and then select/present the facts in such a manner as to support the narrative. From those early experiences I learned to view all media reports as originating and then flowing through a pre-set narrative - which may have nothing to do with the truth.

I know you're a shitty performance alt but you need to keep a spreadsheet of how old you are.

Kind of ironic, isn't it, that the news sources our resident Russkie troll consideres "Propagandistic Bullshit" are the fact-checked, accredited journalists with a long standing reputation for fairness and integrity; but the ones he considers "legitimate" are "News" such as Inforwars, QAnon, The Extremist Daily Times, The White Nationalist News Network, and DerSturmer.

Basically, if the news media doesn't specifically exist to serve as a mouthpiece for the Trump administration, then it is "Propagandistic bullshit" according to him.

Him and most of the right. There's a reason why "fake news!" has become such a rallying cry.

For me, it was the emergence of Barack Obama. I got the impression that the media WANTED him to be President. His early life always seemed so uncertain. It seemed that there was something unusual about his mother and her relationship with his father. The media did not seem forthcoming about details of his life,, and that made me feel suspicious for lack of a better word..

Shaddup, birther. Obama had more political experience than 45 when elected.
