They dont want to address, or even acknowledge, the very serious issues that are afflicting the majority of people in the west: falling living standards, chronic indebtedness, dropping life expectancies, rampant corruption, inflation significantly higher than the CPIs are reporting and that have long overtaken wage increases, housing prices that are far out of reach for anybody other than a small and shrinking percentage of the population, falling health care services, crumbling infrastructure, unaffordable public transportation, a safety net that is entirely inadequate and getting worse, skyrocketing energy costs, etc., etc.
These are all economic issues that the media left and main stream party left (ie. Labour, Democrat, Liberal, etc.) have long disavowed themselves of addressing. Sure, they might tinker a bit around the edges of them, but it is much easier to raise fund raise and be part of the Davos team if you instead drop buzz words like inclusion, diversity, democracy (and the supposed threat to it) safe spaces, and other things of that nature. Everyone and everything else is either ignored entirely or labelled as outdated, chilling, and/or toxic.
They do this because they are all part and party to the same club. In political circles they are the uni-party (or the war party as some prefer to call them). In the msm circus, they are all owned by the small handful that own everything, and they tightly gatekeep who can get into their ranks. They are the ones that got us wondering and debating whether or not Saddam Hussein has/had weapons of mass destruction, as if it was somehow a given that if they did America had the right to invade, despite America and the UK having plenty that nobody seemed bothered about. Have we not noticed that, despite being from supposedly different companies, the msm all even use the same catchy phrases and puns as one another in relation to any particular new item?
We already know, and just seem to shrug about it, that the intelligence agencies or various state departments often vet what the media can and cannot say, or that these same alphabet soup agencies have a direct line to social media companies in order to remove content and ban accounts that do not coincide and conform with official narratives. We were not allowed to speculate that Covid leaked from a lab (despite there being one next door from the wet market it supposedly sprang from). If you did question anything in relation to Covid then you were pegged as an imminent threat to society that somehow believed that our earth is flat and controlled by lizard-people.
Some of them are the fine upstanding citizens that visited Epstein island. They easily have enough money to buy elections. They can take the stock market up or down in a whim. In America, their insider trading is perfectly legal and often bragged about. Everywhere else it is just overlooked by the relevant authorities. In the rare cases that they do ever do go to prison, they have special luxury ones built especially for them. They have different school systems for themselves so their children all meet one another and intermarry.
And the list goes on and on until I get tired of writing and you have long gotten tired of reading.
So I will end it here.
In short, the msm are all bonkers because they are in the same club as their owners. That clubs existence is threatened if we start talking about the state of our old age care home facilities, our wages, or anything economic that is actually relevant. So they instead get us arguing about bullsh?*t. And we fall for here.
There was actually an election here in Canada around a decade ago that hinged on the question of whether or not an immigrant woman should be allowed to wear a face covering (hijab) when she took her citizenship loyalty oath. Seriously
that is what our media focused on. And boy did we eat it up.
