Re: [CTRL] If the Media Were Liberal - Questions ... ???
-Caveat Lector- -Caveat Lector- David, wrong time for your note. See the posting No News is Good News sent out today. It’s about bad journalism. I’ll try to answer your comments anyway. It’s not about ideological or personal viewpoints. It’s about factual information that any reporter could dig out. I’ve always said that if a housewife in the Midwest can find the details of controversies, then what’s to keep a reporter from doing the same. If the citizens of the US wanted to go in any particular political direction after getting concrete information, I wouldn’t fight it because there is free will. What I am against is slanted information coming from what most people consider neutral sources such as radio, television, newspapers, and popular magazines. It’s all about manipulation and there is no respect for the individual. There was an interesting comment in one of the books I found on the Soviet Union in the 80s. It was a book describing the culture there. It was just a neutral position book, but in regard to censorship in the Soviet Union, the comment was that there was so much information available that people didn’t know what was missing. That’s what’s happening here. Back when one could challenge a liberal on a radio talk show, someone who presented contrary information was told that since they found it on their own there was no censorship. The liberal who made the comment wouldn’t respond to the fact that most of the people never bother to go past what the primary message of the media was. These people just trusted that they were getting the facts and if they were stupid enough to accept them, that was their problem. The first clue I had that I wasn’t getting information was in the early 80s when I started researching on my own. The talking heads of the time were reporting that Humanism was just a bogeyman of the right. Any reporter could have picked up a copy of the Humanist Manifestos, looked in the Encyclopedia of Associations to see the list of Humanist organizations and read the Humanist magazine to see that the Humanist movement was a for real thing. The Aspen Institute for Humanistic Studies was a very powerful think tank, and many people knew that it existed as part of the Humanist movement. (Now it’s the Aspen Institute and the web page is vague compared with the information I picked up at the time. Wye Plantation is a part of the international operation but who bothers to know that. ) Then, being involved in school affairs, I saw that the newspaper reporters seemed to have made a deal with the school systems not to report any controversial matters parents brought up at school board meetings. In fact, the minutes of these meetings never reflected the concerns of the parents. I don’t want to go into details, but major control was in operation. It went on from there. As I became more and more involved and did research on my own, I saw that the information getting thru was the message the liberal organizations were promoting. I saw individual after individual on the conservative side wiped out because the organizations reported as being conservative spokesmen were nothing but skeleton operations with no substance, organizations not supporting individual efforts but bypassing them, something any beginning reporter could have found out. Twenty years of seeing this over and over again does make an impact. Granted what I’ve found has been the result of my personal efforts, but there are many people just like me. We are not united, but heaven help the country if someone comes forward and says they are the spokesmen for our concerns. I wouldn’t trust that individual, but many would. This may be what is happening with Bush. As far as Israel is concerned, my feeling is that many non-Orthodox Jewish groups and leaders have thought that selling the Jewish vote to liberal organizational leadership would insure the safety of Jews and Israel. Knowing what I know and believe, that’s not going to work in the long run. Is there an agenda that is being promoted? My guess is yes. There are liberals who think their voice is not being heard, but my feeling is that they are ahead of the line being promoted by the media which is a few steps behind their efforts. They are the shock troops breaking new ground which will be promoted by the media in time. Heaven help us all. ---Original Message- From: Conspiracy Theory Research List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of David Sutherland Sent: Saturday, November 30, 2002 2:59 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [CTRL] If the Media Were Liberal - Questions ... ???

-Caveat Lector- Well Zuukie, I'm not so much a "researcher" of these undercurrents as I probably am a theatregoer. What it seems to me is that you are suggesting that "diversity" of opinion is a part of what some people suggest the media ought to exhibit, and genuine diversity at that. It seems to be then that part of the complaint from many circles is that the media (news, editorial, opinion, etc., reportage) does not represent their particular line of thinking or that the media is slanted against their ideological or personal viewpoints. But perhaps they are simply too focused in one direction. They perceive the "good" [favourable] or the "bad" [not favourable] coverage and nothing else in between is permissible or attracts their attention. Hence, only that which gets their attention gets them. Media proprietors on the other hand need to attract as many readers as they can so as to peddle the hype of their consumer penetrative largesse to their major clientele, namely advertisers. In business, this and associated revenues is really is what keeps their coffers full and afloat. In Newsprint, news is basically space-filler between the advertising. To attract potential consumers, media headlines need to be buoyant, bizarre or bad news or generally a combination of all. The mundane, everyday les affaire doesn't sell media because it does not attract the attention of media consumers. Or, ought the media be a clone of our leading women and men, say George Bush? One is informed that Mr Bush wants school kids inculcated with "right and wrong" by the government. Sounds very churchy! But at least two questions would be left hanging by this "goal" of committing government to the "instruction in right and wrong." Firstly, is there in fact real consensus about basic values in American culture today? Secondly, even if there is a clear set of values affirmed by a majority, is it a legitimate role of government, or the point of our discussion the media, to inculcate an alleged majority view in the face of strong opposition from a minority? How is the voice of minorities to be heard if the voice of the crowd drowns them out? As an aside question, you claim that the media is "Liberal" and biased, how then do you answer accusations that it is slanted favourably toward Israel which appears to emanate from a lot of voices, particularly from the vox populi of the Conspiracy fraternity?

So why do I identify more with the conservative side than the liberal one? Perhaps it’s because I learned more about what is happening from those who were labeled conservatives than I learned from the liberal side. Their literature was more informative than that coming from the side labeled liberal. Their information was in sync with what I saw happening when I started following information on my own rather than just listening to the media message. Other than the pro-life organizations who still fight a semi-public message, conservatives who have seen what I’ve seen have been marginalized to the point where we know each other because of our outreach rather than because we follow some sort of conservative leadership. I don’t deny that there are others who follow the “conservative” leadership, but it’s a phase that individuals go thru. Conservatives are as susceptible to those who are saying “I feel your pain” as anyone else. Everyone searches for a community in which they can be at home. When individuals run into organizations who send the message “I know what you are talking about, follow me” they follow these “provision made for dissidents” conservative leaders whether anti-Semitic, political, militia, religious, or economic conservatives. I can’t give you a simple answer. Those who think I as do don’t have websites or send out article after article. The only way you will understand what some of us are thinking is to keep researching on your own, going to meetings of various stripes, collecting literature from different sides.

Does this mean that I think that liberals don’t have valuable information to share? No way. Parenti is good as is information from liberal sources on the Greens or on the Moonies. I trust people of good faith who want to keep learning.

Close. It seems as though Fallwell and ilk have created for themselves an "us vs them" situation wherein they exclude many from the possibility of being saved. All non-believers are fair game for the revival tent. Yet, the top fundies aren't eager to go out and save those who who would be in the best positions to effect changes within their ranks. That is to say, Usama being converted would be able to neutralise the inter-religion warfare by dragging along his followers. But, if Shrub, a "saved" person, suggests Usama or Hussein "dead or alive" (preferably [to him] the former), then he is in effect creating a situation where the "rebirth" is ended before being allowed to come to term, i.e., aborted as in "abortion". Now this supposes that anyone, Usama included, might be made to see the light according to the RelRight (oka "chickenhawks"). So, everyone has to be kept in a viable, potentially emerging state in order to NOT prevent the spiritual renaissance from happening. The psychological burden is the missionary's position. The un-harvested souls remain in a state of grace because they have not undergone the baptism of fire and brimstone. Which is another interesting perspective. The proselytisers lose brownie points because they have failed to sway the masses of the unannointed, uninitiated, uninspired.

Re: [CTRL] If the Media Were Liberal - Questions ... ???
-Caveat Lector- Zuukie, this sounds like the sort of thing some say when they haven't really got anything to say. That might be one reason many don't get conned into taking sides on at least that particular issue, because when questions are asked the proponents simply do not have anything intelligent to say. That aside, the post-door was left ajar for a "conservative" or whatever formulated opinion to get through and be aired by you. Instead, all we got was you slagging us off? Is this the alternative way to being "Liberal"? If the media is "Liberal," and one assumes you mean "mainstream media," perhaps it is for a reason, and one of which might be that the alternative just frightens the hell out of them, as well as the average citizenry. Besides, left void of the euphemistic mewling about the "Liberal media," the Conservative would have one less evil in their voodoo box to demonise. One surely wouldn't want that kind of potentially psychological trauma to occur, now would one?

-Caveat Lector- The two replies are proof of what I said when I said the liberal media does not carry information explaining the pro-life position. Only lack of knowledge could lead to such silly responses. The anti-abortion position has nothing to do with Jerry Falwell, the US conservative mindset, Christian Zionism, rebirth or any other such silly ideas. -Original Message- From: Conspiracy Theory Research List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Euphorian Sent: Monday, November 18, 2002 5:51 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [CTRL] If the Media Were Liberal - Questions ... ??? -Caveat Lector- 11/19/02 11:31:59 AM, David Sutherland <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Secondly, Christian Zionists such as Jerry Falwell and others of his > religious leaning form part of the US conservative mindset and claim that > abortion is tantamount to murder and oft appeal to Old Testament laws as the > basis for their various religio-political manifesto's. > > If conservatives such as these held the balance of political power, and > given that they consider abortion murder, would they also have cause to > execute (as per OT law) or imprison the women who have abortions?

[CTRL] If the Media Were Liberal - Questions ... ???
-Caveat Lector- Just a couple of questions?Firstly, given that America has had avowedly conservative governments over so many decades how it is that the abortion laws have not been amended to reflect the alleged conservative mindset? Or would it be too soon to pre-empt an answer and suggest that it is generally "Liberal" mothers who are more likely to do away with a foetus? Hence, in reality it serves conservatives by culling future generations of potential Liberals, because publicly-spoken at least, conservative mothers do not have abortions but raise more conservatives. What do the Stats suggest? Secondly, Christian Zionists such as Jerry Falwell and others of his religious leaning form part of the US conservative mindset and claim that abortion is tantamount to murder and oft appeal to Old Testament laws as the basis for their various religio-political manifesto's. If conservatives such as these held the balance of political power, and given that they consider abortion murder, would they also have cause to execute (as per OT law) or imprison the women who have abortions?ThanksDave.- Original Message -From: "Zuukie" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>Sent: Sunday, November 17, 2002 2:55 PMSubject: Re: [CTRL] [Fwd: If the Media Were Liberal]> -Caveat Lector->> The media is considered liberal because it presents only one side of the> abortion movement, one side of the environmental movement, one side of> the UN, one side of the gun control argument, one side of the euthanasia> movement, one side of the sex education in schools argument, one side of> the role of religion in everyday policies, etc. It presents no> information on what the CFR, the Trilateralists, the Aspen Institute> people or the Carnegie people are doing.
