National Enquirer, Star, Weekly World News, The Sun

Junk "news," silly "news,"trashy tabloid "journalism."

Nobody invested belief in anything printed in the instantly disposable cheap publications.

Just for entertainment, amusement, and a few laughs. Front page lurid shockers.

After awhile, The Queen must tolerate Rupert Murdoch's henchmen on castle grounds.
The evil fucker holds the royal family's heads in a guillotine. Bad publicity can kill.
Great Wealth corrupts, but scandal creates a stink. News of the World stopped publishing.

News of the World: 10 years since phone-hacking scandal
July 10, 2021 - The Guardian

Print version of News Corporation news withered.

Rupert Murdoch moved on, and exploited America. Wendi Deng handled the transition,
and Rupert Murdoch set her free. Texas girl, Jerry Hall, proved useful to his ambitions.

Rupert Murdoch's empire swallowed a U.S. television station and the Wall Street Journal.

FOX TV attempted to slide from beneath charges and accusations, by claiming that their
controversial and sometimes harmful talk shows were merely entertainment, and not
meant to be real news. Traditional journalism and news reporters had a name for it -
"info -tainment."

“Flood the (media) zone with shit”
- Steve Bannon

what fox and other deplorable tv "news" channels are doing is infoTAINTment

The shit that real newspapers and media outlets charged with supplying truth and facts,
must deal with -

“The Democrats don't matter."
"The real opposition is the media."
"And the way to deal with them,"
"- is to flood the zone with shit."
- Steve Bannon

The way media outlets deal with filling space in their "reporting spaces" has changed.
Tune into a news program, and there is not much news featured, unless it is PBS or NPR.
The "filler" of entertainment bleeds into the news reporting.

Everything is required to be entertaining.

Admit it or not, Rupert Murdoch's FOX TV has had an influence on major TV network
news coverage and printed news publications.

In fact, the study of media reveals that the negative attracts more attention.

The difference between how the media is treating Joe Biden, and the way that the media
has treated Donald J. Trump are diametrically opposed - complete, utter, opposites.

Fulfilling the role of an American president never was on Trump's chore list.
Trump promised to fulfil the role at some later date, but never lived up to expectations.
He got rid of the people that could have helped him to become a real live president.
What Trump was, is an entertainer. He entertained crowds at rallies. He advertised
a new product - MAGA. Invest in the manufacture of our great, new product!
You, too, can be part of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy, and kick Democrats
to the curb! Send money! Nothing that television loves more than advertising
and entertainment. Trump loved television back - He was the biggest star in America!
Biggest star in the world. All Trump had to do is make everyone around him a victim
of his abuse.

One of the first things Trump did on the international stage is bump an international
leader enough to push him. (The victim just laughed, Trump's personal prestige died.)

Joe Biden ? Television does not love him. He let television starve by neglect.
The White House is no longer centered around Trump's "executive hours"by
the television and tweeting. Joe Biden and everyone at his side are busy tending
to everything that Trump left by the wayside, and behind.

FFS, Trump was watching TV and bitching about the lack of propaganda production
quality of the January 6th riot, attack, and invasion of the Capitol. "Not classy."
Sure, television might have lost its Constitutional rights to report reality, but the
invasion and occupation of the Capitol, the vandals inside the Capitol, and the threat
of the murder of Senators and Congressional Representatives was so exciting!
Oh, the drama, of potentially losing the country to MAGA was priceless!
People's eyes were glued to their televisions.

The election of Joe Biden was said to bring dry, boring normality back.
Trump is not here to bring the negativity, so television is supplying it.

More "Biden Bad" propaganda

The theme that formerly Republicans are promoting is that the Taliban are taking
over advanced air force jets and helicopters and the vehicles that the Americans
left behind. Of, course FOX TV is blaming Joe Biden.

@Holbornlolz took someone else's video footage for a "har har,"
False impression that Biden's Blackhawk helicopter is used
by the Taliban to execute someone by hanging.

(This is what Deplorables and Despicables consider funny and amusing ?)

Sen. Ted Cruz and Rep. Dan Crenshaw of Texas found the @Holbornlolz tweet to
useful for their anti-Biden propaganda...until they got caught.

Ted Cruz retweeted the falsely-captioned video, and wrote:
“This horrifying image encapsulates Joe Biden’s Afghanistan catastrophe
The Taliban hanging a man from an American Blackhawk helicopter.”

In what f***ing world was it a good idea to just hand over a country
to these people.

Rupert Murdoch's New York Post published this - “Shocking video shows man hanging
below Black Hawk flown by Taliban,” and only noting in the body of the story
that “it is not immediately clear exactly how he is attached or if he is alive.”
(Did they bother to issue a retraction, or add a correction ?)

Another video of the same scene clearly showed the man waving to people
on the ground below.

The leaders of American forces stood up and spoke up -
They had wrecked everything until it was "inoperative."

Reality steps in, and provides proof -

"The clip shows a Taliban fighter trying to hoist a flag on a building in the city of Kandahar."

"Bilal Sarwary, an Afghan journalist who fled the country in the evacuation of late
August, tweeted on Tuesday: "Afghan pilot flying this is someone I have known over
the years. He was trained in the US and UAE, he confirmed to me that he flew the
Blackhawk helicopter. Taliban fighter seen here was trying to install Taliban flag
from air but it didn't work in the end."

The Afghan news agency Aśvaka, which recorded its own video of the helicopter flight,
told the Indian fact check website Alt News that its team had confirmed that the person
attached to the helicopter "was controlled and hanging from the helicopter to fix the flag
at the governor's building in Kandahar."

Trump brags after women lose abortion rights in Texas:

Sinclair broadcasting took the chance that Trump would not blather about a stolen election.

Trump's PAC spent a bit of cash on a "campaign ad," that aired this past week,
that supported no candidate.

OTOH, it provided a propaganda montage for FOX TV media figures,
while they made attacks on Joe Biden.

"Save America" PAC is playing by the rules, because Trump has less options.
