I love the fear-mongering attack ads that make socialists look based af
They want you to live indoors and for children to have a happy childhood!
Born too late for the propaganda to be “here’s a thriving family wage for finishing high school”
Late stage propaganda.
I have not watched TV in years. Is there anything specific you are talking about?
That Landman show, the one where Billy Bob Thorton literally tilts at windmills, and goes off on this whole speech filled with falsehoods, had oil companies in the credits.
BBC News used to be a respected, if small-c conservative, news organisation. Now it’s just an embarrassment. The rest of the BBC is worth saving, but the news division needs all the people at the top fired and not rehired, and everyone below whatever level is appropriate (I don’t know the inner workings) seriously considered for firing. Then the charter needs amending to clearly and unequivocally state that the news must remain independent of government or corporate meddling - probably need an oversight committee to ensure that, but how they are chosen is left as an exercise to the reader!
As a radio nerd from the UK, my love of the BBC is rock solid. The radio, TV, and technology wings of the corporation are right up the with the NHS as something we should be rightly proud of.
But I get a few moments of genuine anxiety when I’m listening to 6Music while cooking dinner, and they go to the news. What will this bulletin’s headline be? Reform’s plans for if they ever get to form a government, or how many poor people landed on our shores in a small boat today? I get genuinely angry, to the point that I’m more like to roll the broadcast back by a few minutes so I can skip the news entirely. God bless BBC Sounds.
Same. Exactly the same including radio station of choice (though I also like Radio 1 Dance at times)
I stopped watching BBC years ago and now when I come across it it feels like I’m watching the news in the V for Vendetta graphic novel.
It was never subtle, you were just naive
Or just mis/underinformed. You can’t know what you haven’t learned yet and not all people have easy access to reliable sources of information.
That’s how it got so bad before the majority of the population noticed it. And also how it continues to be allowed to persist.
That narrows it down.
At least in Germany, MSM have definitely been moving in direction of the far right after the last federal elections a year ago when the fascists became the strongest party.
Very recently, when the socialists won Berlin - Germany’s capital and largest city - they were immediately smeared as “anti-semitic” (of course) and “having connections to criminal gangs” by some parts of the MSM which I thought had resisted this trend. I quit their shit on the spot.When was it?
And shit like Ancient Aliens is just straight up psyops and ofcourse all the bread and circuses sports events. Seriously people in my country get more riled up about football than the shit politicians do.
Brown people can move rocks, you guys! Aliens didnt put things up your dads butt, he just got a little adventurous and is closeted.
Bernie Sanders is doing to take control of all the toothbrush factories. You will be assigned a toothbrush bristle hardness designated by your socialist dentist. You will no longer have the freedom to choose your toothbrush. If you drive a lifted truck you will be assigned to work in a gay cake factory that only bakes cakes for gay weddings.
As long as it comes with decent health insurance and dental I don’t give a shit anymore. I’ll make those cakes so fucking gay I don’t even care.
See you started out silly but I think you ended with a good idea
It sounds like you just want to bake gay cakes at a gay cake bakery, which you should do if you want to.
It’s the constant drug ads for me
“for they/them not for you” lol wut. Somehow pronouns make our needs in conflict? Who the fuck is falling for this?
My guess is that back in the day TV was one of the main source of entertainment, so you had a lot of eyes on it, nowadays only dead brain people watch it so they can go all out between propaganda and drama, also it’s probably easier for some stuff to get lost as it’s mostly bullshit and almost no one gonna save it.
It’s not even good propaganda anymore…
Right? At least back in the day we got like cool video games like America’s Army and 24 hour Walmarts and the dollar menu to convince us capitalism and the military was cool as fuck. What do even have now? Shitty AI generated sounding country music and lame ass square dancing? Cmon man.
