Faces Of The Media: Angry Echo Chamber, Squirrel Reporting, Manufactured News & Script Reading

9/18/2014

1. Angry Echo Chamber (tends to be GOP)

Joe of Morning Joe has already beenidentified as a GOP ally and/or conspirator and he continues to follow this same pattern of being an obvious "conservative" plant in a liberal media station (as he pretends to be a liberal). He continues to do this on a daily basis as of September 18, 2014. The Daily Show caught one of them around a major issue (Hillary Clinton) and the interesting thing is that while the whole 24 hour media feels like this is going on forever (we basically have an elections based economy, lol!) it's the GOP "conservatives" who are getting outright angry about it...
Democalypse 2016 - Willary or Won'tary - Hillary Clinton returns to Iowa for the first time since her 2008 presidential campaign, but the media begins to tire of her enigmatic hints about running in 2016. (8:18):

The media isn't all "echo chamber" as outline in the previous posts and the emergence of the new echo chamber above. These echo chambers that encompass the whole media tend to constellate around particular issues by a well funded dis-information campaign or in some unique situations as an emergency. Otherwise the media is left free to pursue it's style. 

Jon Stewart has observed that the media is like a dog in up when it is doing it's "journalism"... 

2. Squirrel Reporting (all of the media does this)

First, the dog in UP that goes SQUIRREL!... 
The media does really behave like the dog in UP! ...

Americans can settle in for a lengthy media overfeeding at the trough of Michele Bachmann, and Rick Perry is cowboy boot-deep in hay, hitting on America. (04:00):

Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry excitement belongs to the ages once media talk turns to Paul Ryan, and Ed Schultz sees racism in Rick Perry's "black cloud." (3:28):

3. Manufacturing News (Jon Stewart's take on a type of echo chamber - again, all of the media does this)

Because of a 24 hr news cycle one of the problems is that conflict MUST be manufactured to keep viewers...

Tales of Manufactured Conflict - Speechgate - The 24-hour news media turn a tale of reasonable accommodation into a tale of manufactured conflict. (4:24):

The Chris Christie said no but the media was bored so created his candidacy...

Chris Christie's media manufactured candidacy has been going on for a while (this stopped it, I think)...

4. Often an anchor is expressing scripted views as their own when they are not reading them straight from the teleprompter (make no mistake about this... news shows are heavily scripted down to the minute!)

All the news is scripted and the anchors are often required JUST to read what they are told to...

CNN Anchor Don Lemon Appears Not to Care for CNN - Anchorman Don Lemon's half-hearted last-minute effort to feign that he cares about CNN's antics is a call for help. (3:28):

I don't know what to make of this, training so as not to laugh or the first signs of madness, you decide...

Moment of Zen - Michelle Obama Has a Cheeseburger - Michelle Obama orders a cheeseburger meal that's the caloric equivalent of eating a live raccoon. (0:14):
