Elite TV news anchors are gone: hypnotic effect crumbling
The ship is going down
By Jon Rappoport
There are many reasons why viewers are deserting mainstream
news. This article is about one reason that has been overlooked. One
vital reason...
Elite television news anchors are absolutely essential to the
hypnotic delivery of fake news. They have always been a mainstay of the
mind control operation.
From the early days of television, there has been a parade of
anchors/actors with know-how---the right intonation, the right edge of
authority, the parental feel, the ability to execute seamless blends
from one piece of deception to the next:
John Daly, Douglas Edwards, Ed Murrow, Chet Huntley, David
Brinkley, Harry Reasoner, Water Cronkite, Dan Rather, and more recently,
second-stringers---Brian Williams, Diane Sawyer, Scott Pelley.
They're all gone.
Now we have Lester Holt, David Muir, and an as-yet
unannounced permanent replacement for Scott Pelley. Muir and Holt are
decidedly junior varsity; they couldn't sell water in the desert.
Lester Holt is a cadaverous timid presence on-air, whose
major journalistic achievement thus far is interrupting Donald Trump 41
times during a presidential debate; and David Muir has the gravitas of a
Sears underwear model.
The network news trance is falling apart.
The networks have no authoritative anchor-fathers waiting in
the wings. They don't breed them and bring them up in the minor leagues
anymore.
Instead, armies of little Globalists and ideologues who don't
realize they're working for the Globalists have been infiltrating the
news business. At best, they're incompetent.
This is one reason why mainstream news has been imploding.
When gross liars don't have hypnotism, they don't have anything.
And lately, things have gotten even worse for the mainstream.
Their ceaseless attacks on Trump are backfiring. More members of the
public are seeing through the puerile
throw-ANYTHING-at-the-wall-and-see-what-sticks approach; and more
important, the style of these attacks is breaking the time-honored
rhythms and pace of traditional news presentation, and thus are failing
to put the viewing audience into passive brain-states.
Fundamental and tested means for trance-induction are going
out the window. When you add in rude and contentious interviews and
thinly disguised editorializing by "news reporters" who have no business
being within a mile of a broadcast studio, who spout random shots of
venom, the news-production techniques that enable an ongoing illusion of
oceanic authority collapse like magnetic fields that have been suddenly
switched off.
The selective mood lighting, the restful blue colors on the
set, the inter-cutting of graphics and B-roll footage, the flawless
shifts to reporters in far-flung places...it's as if all these
supporting features have suddenly been overcome by actors in a stage
play who are abruptly stepping out of character. The spell is broken.
Humpty-Dumpty is off the wall and lying in pieces on the floor.
Elite mainstream news is committing suicide. And in a fatuous
attempt to save themselves, they are trying a democratic approach.
Anchors are sharing more on-air minutes with other reporters. But this
is counter-productive in the extreme. The News has always meant one face
and one authority and one voice and one tying-together of all broadcast
elements. It's as if, in a hypnotherapist's office, the therapist
decides to bring in colleagues to help render the patient into an
alpha-state.
Network news executives are clueless. News directors are
clueless. The whole lot of them are too young and too foolish to
remember what once made news dominate the public mind.
Plus they are swimming in shark-infested waters. The sharks are independent media.
Bottom-line?
This is a cause for celebration.
The movie called fake reality is packaged rolls of footage in the back of a very large truck moving slowly toward a graveyard.
The elite standard has always been: can we hypnotize the
viewing audience and keep them hypnotized? And now the answer is leaning
further toward NO on both counts.
Information mind control, as delivered by elite television
news, depends entirely on the elite anchor. His modulated voice and
presence and delivery are the glue that holds the illusion together. If
by some miracle, the news bosses could raise Walter Cronkite, "the
father of our country," from the dead and put him back in the chair,
they might have an outside chance of re-establishing their dominance.
But too many years have gone by; years of unaccomplished anchors.
Humpty-Dumpty is in pieces on the floor, the horse is out of the barn,
the cat is out of the bag.
This is why major news outlets have been appealing to the new
king: social media. Facebook, Google, Twitter, and You Tube are, in
various ways, trying to shape the news the public receives and doesn't
receive. But their desperate attempt is failing, too.
It is crashing on the rocks of vast, uneven, open decentralization of information.
One veteran news director told me several years ago, "We're
losing the war. We don't have the stars [elite anchors] anymore. The
star system is dead. The same thing happened to Hollywood. Now it's
happening to us. You could comb all the local news outlets in America,
and you wouldn't find one face and voice who could really carry the
freight. They've vanished. The up and coming people are lame and weak.
We've made them that way. It's some cockeyed standard of equality we've
internalized. And now we're paying the price."
Yes, indeed.
They've punched holes in their own ship.
