There are many reasons why viewers are deserting mainstream news.
This article is about one vital reason that has been overlooked...
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 the newly appointed Norah O'Donnell. 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; David Muir has the gravitas of a Sears
underwear model; Norah O'Donnell, long-term, will have
the energy needed to illuminate one miniature Xmas-tree light
bulb.
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 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 hypnotic effect, 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 gaggles of 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 pacify the viewing audience
and maintain them in a helpless condition? Now the answer is leaning
further toward NO on both counts.
As I say, 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. The horse is out of the barn, the
cat is out of the bag.
This is why major news outlets have been appealing to social media/big
tech for help, AKA censorship of independent voices. But this 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 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.
