A guide to media (work in progress)

Introduction:

 

The expectation, seen through the eyes of modern man, expecting conformity to service delivery, by his fellows, brings about denial of what is true, if not for substantial evidence, or the proclamation of identity by ego, or rational intent. That it will rain only, possibly, on a cloudy day, and that it can only rain with clouds in the sky, definitely. Tolerance is seen from a perceptually motivated stance, only as is expected in a being, believing in the communal aspect of stereotype almost religiously, or fanatically, innocently quietly. Violently moral, or morally violent. Ethics is seen as maturity reached, humanly expressed, globally adhered, but ignorantly and childishly when confronted initially. That morality is a social notion, only seen from the inside, outside. This is where, since antiquity from a modern perspective, the media, or the press, plays a large role in the shaping of the minds of men, in a social setting, even while he’s alone, gearing for gossip, and common day affairs with his fellows, when he steps outside of his home, or place of rest, and escape, from the world around his abode. That he brings the world outside inside even in himself, has become expected, where he is tolerated only by his views in relation to others, which brings about his moral stance, but only as requested, expected, and required. Almost in a religious sense, bordering on the nay say of fanaticism.

 

Media - The possible enemy of man, but in some minds the actual liberator and not perpetrator:

 

Freedom is seen in action. The physical and psychological. And speech, being a form of disconnected action, where the actor is merely a face heard, and not ignored, is equally found, or tolerated for its power, only from someone specifically, like David Letterman or David Lynch, and not the audience, the ones digesting the garbage spewed at them unnecessarily and without choice. This is not just in relation to what we deem speech to be, but also what it is not. Examples are aplenty. The eyes do not see words. The eyes are deaf to your ears. You speak and spell, for reasons only you would know, if you ever thought about it. What we call media – is interaction with certain emblems or symbols in the outside world. For we carry a body, we also do not carry the world. Though some would believe that, for example, a President. Surely, we should realize the disconnection from that which we are not, but also see how that which is separate from us, also control us through force, and speech.

 

I swear, we talk out loud way too much.

 

The advent of media was the beginning of distraction. All conscious emblems can be seen as media portrayed to us, and so it depends on the type of exposure one has to which media, that somehow define us. Yet which conscious elements do we ignore? Like a photograph out of focus or blurring the background out to focus attention elsewhere. Is there detail in the inexplicable or invisible, or that which the conscious mind does not fathom or realize to actually perceive? Eventually, we may deny that our lives are meaningless, due to only our conscious desires shining through, until we pass.

 

Our minds are torn towards things which protects us, who wants to see death and torture except the torturers and murderers.

 

Is a prison man-made, or can it make man? An unconscious entity dealing conscious equations upon its subjects or participants.

 

Are thoughts that are rational and sane – moral and safe? Can thoughts be evil if not acted upon? Does the physical dimension realize consciousness? Is reality consciously perceived? What is consciousness if it is linked to a physical body to a physical plane that can also be alternatively explained or has occurrence?

 

We tend to believe that words are actions, since actions can be explained in words, or words can explain actions. They are not the actions they describe; they are the actions of what it is and is used for. As in to speak about war, is not waging war. It is the speaking of what the mind considers and understands of what war is. Though it, discussing the reality of war, does not bring about comprehension or realization, for a war deals with physical, and psychological, determinations beyond discussing it. If speaking about war, whether condoning it, or cursing it, is an act of war, or a stand against war, then war is alienated from that which it is and should be redefined through correctly realizing it.

 

The Media:

 

The role of the media initially, to serve its own purpose and vision, was to enlighten us all, and then the notion of freedom of speech, declaring itself a political act(ion) resembling heroes going into danger, as the victims are already there, to pronounce, from a distance, that chaos is ensuing, or someone is corrupt, where funnily enough, only gossip has been attained, and no change, or redemption for the victims at hand. To solidify and unify society, solely under the basis of what expression is, and not what it is meant for. Ideally, man should be silent, but the media, believes only in itself, where luckily, they will surrender to the cause they have worshipped all along. The concept of fame and fortune. High society speaking for the poor with the powerful and rich. Imagine a homeless person reporting the news all unwashed, clothes and all, where you’ll receive another version of the truth, or another perspective at least, perhaps of something completely inane, and equally irrelevant to the classy reporter, speaking English fluently but basically. In short, the media is not a moral compass too society anymore, or at least as it used to believe it is. Now it has become one with the propaganda machine it has warned us of, which it was supposedly fighting. Declaring the truth or the factual over the lies and delusionary. Being the only source of input expressionistically in our lives, thereby dumbing us down, and themselves of course, for no toilet cleaner is cleaner than the toilet it cleans, as was eagerly ignored, and fought against, by the House of Commons, for the media protected their interests, by only educating the masses with its needed interests to propagate their pockets, and liberated state found only by a ruler of state, and not some dictator doing exactly the same but only using violent means and not a mix of the two to prove its need to exist, and a reason to escape while on a golf course, which is there due to the destruction without thought and resentment of natural land, which some of us actually wanted to use and set our feet on, and not just some bimbo called Kim, and her friends, the beauty queens of our day until they die or age like motorcycles, always one step ahead, but so far behind the truth it actually hurts to see them live in denial, always thinking their voices matter, even though their voice is supposedly all that we need to be rational and sane or healthy, mentally and dentally. To prove this, imagine a fiend called Boris Johnson, 3 years after he was their hero – the British Prime Minister. It just doesn’t seem right, that we waste our time with people that change, while supposedly not capable of changing.

 

Reason being, for this change of the media, from liberator (expressed stereotypically) to propaganda tool, is in relation to the influential power of the corporate onto its work. That the media must make a revenue (for reasons expressed as the requirement for Capitalist enterprises to exist within), where average sales of interest cannot sustain it (by the general populace), supposedly, to the entrenched support or financing from business, has made a great impact as to which news is covered, and how it is portrayed. The corporate within itself, may have no control as to which news will sprout up on a daily or hourly basis, but as it promotes a certain dialogue with the public through the media, it somehow resembles itself, and its motives, as to where it morally and intellectually, or knowingly stands to promote interest in any given subject which may arise.

 

CNN for example, a renowned global news firm, is owned by a company called Time Warner, for reasons unknown other than to fund the widespread power of CNN’s foothold on the news realm globally, though it placates itself as a liberal and fair voice for that which appears – without acknowledging the impact and control which its holding company has on it.

 

The assumption of the reality of news to exist, like gossip it turns out to be, superficially drawing its power from the exclusiveness, or separation it holds onto its subject portrayed, is brought across to the public as a given, today, but we assume that the media broadcasts these tales, as they are expressed quite subtly, are speaking no lies, or has no unconscious bias towards the public it supposedly, honourably conforms too.
