Muck Fainstream Media (part 6.022*10^23)
"Why I'll Never Give Interviews...
"I'll only answer your questions,
in written format, you see.
'cuz you'll never get
an honest answer outta me,
if you stick a microphone in my face,
like some priapic cyclops,
You can't PAY me enough to take a lick
off that rancid lollypop.
'Cuz even if my words are demonstrably truthful,
(good-enough-for-Courtroom standardized),
when discoloured/dirtied by emotional manipulation,
Well, even pristine truths
stain to charcoal-grey lies...

I suppose "Fainstream" works only marginally-better than: "Feignstream", but I can't argue the fact that BOTH are nearly equally appropriate...
The only other thing I have to say is that this piece is a general statement. It does not refer to any one particular person or story. There are far too many that it can apply to, to a greater or lesser degree.
...and I've already said too much.
(Places duct tape over my mouth, because just like that song says: "Silence is Golden, but Duct Tape is Silver")

so very very true... nothing is straight forward anymore, and the spin doctors make it so...

And now that Freedom of Speech is officially dead, the next Freedom on the chopping block is Freedom of Silence.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
Interesting how they managed to curtail that amendment without creating another amendment to negate it, huh?
Freedom of Religion? Simply subvert the religious doctrines by syncretically fusing it with an incompatible ideology, just like how Hitler created Positive Christianity to subvert Christ. Now we have Prosperity Christianity and Progressive Christianity burying Christ.
Freedom of Speech? Incentivize private corporations to censor speech on their platforms. After all, they're private corporations, not the federal government!
Freedom of Press? Have corporations friendly to your interests capture the mainstream media.
Freedom to Peaceably Assemble? When angry citizens protest, hire counter-protesters to shout them down.
Freedom to Petition? Sure, they can still petition, but it's extremely difficult. Besides, we can dismissively ignore their complaints anyway.
It's sad. Really, really sad...

More than one person has said that the Fourth Box of Liberty may wind up being the only one left, alas.
Maybe I'll be lucky, and I'll not be around when that happens...

what really pisses me off is that the mainstream media is using the death of my fucking people as an excuse to spread hate towards my home. no matter how much they claim to hate "Russian terrorism" they fucking love war and suffering, especially if it's caused by an easy bad guy so they can get people to deliriously hate a country and willfully choose to lie. also, all these Russophobic extremist propagandist actually LOVE Putin and his war crimes. after all, the war isn't meant to be one, it's meant to be continuous. I'd say Slava Ukraine, but the media that literally profits off of suffering has ruined this phrase for profit
Thanks for the comments. My feelings on the Ukraine Conflict are summed-up quite succinctly in this piece: CLEAN HANDS/DIRTY HANDS
Zelenskyy isn't a hero. the only heroes are the ones in the mud fighting for their nation while oligarchs on both sides simply watch it unfold. it would be nice if there was a battleground where world leaders had to fight the way they make their people do.
I don't think any politician on either side of that conflict is even close to being a hero.
Unfortunately, the days of heroic politicians died out long ago, more's the pity.

that's why even though I'm mildly right leaning, I don't vote. all I can do is make sexy quicksand fetish stories as the politicians and billionaires corrupt everything. don't get redpilled. take the clown pill.
I've never taken anyone's pill. I'm just a grumpy, crusty Gen-Xer, who has seen and gone through just a little too much shit in my now 50+ years on this ball of dirt. I'm no better or worse than anyone else, just perhaps a bit more jaded than the average Joe. :P
