CNN:
Brain-washing machine
Sitting
in front of the television watching CNN is like sitting in front of a large
front-load washing machine at the laundry-mat. Neither is fun to watch, both
are routinely predictable and methodically mundane.
The CNN
brainwashing machine has three levels of scrubbing the news.
The
small load is the news ticker scrolling text along the bottom of the
screen of headlines occurring off camera.
The
medium load is the three-minute segment made up of mostly sound bites fitting
the leftist narrative and commentary by the so-called news-reporters but in
reality opinion commentators.
The
large load are the town hall meetings and the documentaries that always feature
the leftist agenda extolling the extremists emotionalism meant to convey and
convince with feelings and not with facts. Facts are to be forgotten and replaced
with feelings which are always front and center meant to passionately persuade,
always to set the tone of the conversation which is always loud, louder and the
loudest.
The CNN
brainwashing machine has only two settings of water temperature: cold as ice
and hot as fire. Everything that is broadcast is on the extreme, set to freeze
our brain or fry our brain. Brain freeze numbs common sense and fried brain is
burnt-out.
The CNN
brainwashing machine has two speed cycles: Delicate, for the sensitive
snowflakes who can’t handle the facts or the truth so they have to be gently but
continuously filled with palatable pabulum and Heavy Duty for the hard-core
leftists who desire to be always irritatingly inflamed and agitatedly angry.
The
dirty laundry is soaked in leftist rhetoric, the ultra-super cleaning cycle
scrubs out all the facts, the objective reporting is bleached out, the stuff that doesn’t’ fit the leftist
narrative is rinsed out and the news is spun.
Most
public places are now filled with wall-to-wall screens blaring and spewing the
notorious Conspiracies Not News (CNN) propaganda brought to the unsuspecting
public by the National Democratic Party.
We
naively think we’re receiving objective news, when in reality we‘re getting
subjective commentary.
