The media is dead ... long live the media!

This past weekend it was reported that CNN has lost 50% of its total audience in the past 12 months. This is not isolated to CNN but is a consistent trend among all television news networks. It seems that as if the “mainstream media” is no longer as “mainstream” as it likes to present itself. This weekend while CNN, MSNBC, FOX and their identical counterparts were sitting in their air conditioned offices running pointless and divisive stories to distract the public, the REAL media was on the ground at Bilderberg 2012 chasing down the limousines of war criminals.

No one from the mainstream American press was present, although there were dozens of mainstream news agencies from all over the world who flew great distances to cover the event. Television news crews from Latin America, Russia, Germany and various different parts of the European Union were all represented, most of them in total amazement at the sophistication and professionalism of what was once called “the alternative media”. If it wasn’t for the laid back attitude and casual dress code of the independent journalists, one could have been fooled into thinking that they were there on behalf of the mainstream media. Although I guess that isn’t entirely true, because I have never seen the mainstream media join with a crowd of protestors and stand beside them in solidarity for an entire weekend.

When witnessing the performance of the independent media this weekend it becomes extremely obvious why mainstream news sources are experiencing a massive decline in ratings and credibility. The independent journalists are the ones who are actually putting in work, and they are the ones who actually connect with the people at home on a personal and philosophical level. Recently an anchor for MSNBC was confronted about Bilderberg by we are change and actually said that he was “too lazy” to research such things. This is no surprise, the mainstream media doesn’t have investigative journalists, they have talking heads, which are basically teleprompter reading actors. Full story...
