    That’s the Faux Noose technique, yes. But it far predates Cable TV: Consider “yellow press” for instance, which way back in the late 60s I was calling “Outrage (us) Journalism”

    This just in. The so-called experts are telling us that people are getting sick because of invisible things in the air. Can you believe that?

    It’s a hoax and you heard here first. Next thing they will try to tell us is that leeches don’t work when you have trouble breathing.

    Keep listening for Friar Tucker and Ben Dover Hannity tonight.

    BREAKING NEWS!!!. A lady hoeing her garden was attacked by a hog that got loose from a wagon being pushed by the man who was stealing it from the farmer who was haying. Hog was killed by a rock thrown by a passerby who was hauling stone to the castle to be used for the execution of a peasant who spit in the moat. STAY TUNED.

    Plenty of material here: If you make it to fifteen you are considered middle age, small pox, dysentery, the nobles get the best cuts of meat and crops, backbreaking labor from sunrise to sunset. And roughly some 250+ laws on the books that prescribe capital punishment for, what are considered petty crimes these days. Church on Sunday, and since you cannot read, you believe the lies the man in the dress behind the pulpit keeps telling you. And taxes on top of it all for good measure.

    Sadly, the main stream media has joined in the game. Preferring sensationalized ratings grabbing headlines and spin. Some are worse than others, but too many are missing the chaos ratings of Trump’s presidenting by Tweet years.

    Any news source that went back to reporting and not creating news, might take a momentary drop in ratings, but I think eventually people would gravitate to the old fashioned dry way of presenting the facts. Go back to entertaining weathermen, local segments, as the secondary draw. Put together a great team and you can stick with the truth and not the sensational.

    Thankfully, much of the old team is still there, but this is from before they were bought by a right leaning company. So much more fun.:

    Beginning of cable news? Have you never heard of “yellow journalism”, practiced in the 19th Century, playing fast and loose with the truth, and their most outrageous exaggerations printed on yellow paper to attract more nickels? Charles Foster Kane was based on real-life newspaper magnates William Randolph Hearst, Joseph Pulitzer, and Harold McCormick and their actual practices.

    My husband watches both liberal and conservative-leaning programs (I can’t bring myself to call them “news”), just to see how each side will put their spin on the same issue. There appears to be a lot of raised voices and pearl clutching on both sides, and I can’t stand any of them. They’re all absolutely sure that their take on an issue is the only way to see it, and usually can’t allow that the opposition has anything of value to contribute. Both sides are at least partially responsible for the division we have in this country, and I just wish they would all calm down and engage in civil discourse.

    It certainly explains why the loudmouth is well-dressed and living in the castle while everyone else there is dressed in rags and living in a sh*thole.

    As Monty Python put it:

    “Who’s that then?”

    “I dunno. Must be a king.”

    “Why?”

    “He hasn’t got sh*t all over ‘im.”

    Reuters Institute did a survey of 46 countries this spring about news media. They asked people in 46 countries, “Can you trust most of the news, most of the time?” The US media came in 46th of 46, dead last, with only 29% answering yes. This is lower than Malaysia and lower than Bulgaria. There’s a reason for the low rating: US news media have shown repeatedly that they are not trustworthy.
