Back during the days of the old Soviet Union, Pravda was the official state run newspaper within Russia.   It was also the official mouthpiece for the Communist Party.  

Thus, anyone who dismissed what Pravda said and acted differently did so to their own peril.

Given that to be the case, I am now going to make a statement.

Without a doubt, Pravda could have taken some lessons on how to REALLY manipulate the news and manage the people from our very own news media.   Had they done so, they could have actually achieved what they desired!  

At first glance such a statement will probably produce many, many negative thoughts from about everyone.   And, those negative thoughts will also probably cover every conceivable aspect that can be thought up.

But before one goes off the deep end and vigorously launches their attack, please take a few moments to consider some things.

1]   There are different ways to measure success.  

As was stated above, Pravda did enjoy complete dedication by everyone – which was ultimately achieved by the barrel of a gun.   It is quite obvious that that is not the case here in America.

So in that sense of the term, Pravda was truly successful.  

But that does NOT mean that they achieved complete dedication within the inner most parts of an individual’s heart – NOT even from among their staunchest supporters.

2]   Rather, I submit that success can and must also be determined by the degree to which an individual supports something based upon their inner most belief system – or in other words – their inner most doctrinal base which originates from within their very own heart.

And most importantly, this belief structure – this process – must originate from WITHIN the individual rather than being imposed upon one from WITHOUT.

In this area, Pravda failed most miserably whereas our media has succeeded most gleefully [at least, for some].

3] In fact, the biggest and greatest mark of success that can be achieved for any type of activity is to have many people follow them – and yet – they do not even recognize the fact that they have completely surrendered their own personal identity in the process – to say nothing of their sense of right and wrong!

And I submit that that is exactly what our news media has accomplished.   And, that is why I also submit that our news media has far exceeded the expectations of even what Pravda had hoped to achieve.

4] And achieving such a goal is truly the ultimate success story for any type of brainwashing activity – whereby people willingly follow [thinking that they are free] without even realizing that they have been duped; and thus, have actually surrendered and lost their freedom!

Back in time, I also remember thinking that we were so fortunate to have a “free” press within America.

But then, an awful thing happened.   I grew up; and, became aware of things around me.   In fact, there are so many examples could be presented that clearly demonstrate this process that went on within.

But even if we turn our attention from personal experiences; and, look at just the big picture, we all know about the New York Times and how they have basically set the standard of what is said in all of the news papers throughout the country.

But then as another example, please follow this professed simpleton as we look at the TV news situation for a moment.

Currently, the only “fair and balanced” news organization is Fox News.   Now, for them to be fair and balanced, that means that they have to achieve a 50% conservative and 50% liberal type of balance in their overall reporting – right? 

And, we all know that everything else is quite liberal – probably approaching the 90 percentile from the likes of NBC, ABC, CBS, PBS, and CNN.

Thus, if we add those 5 organizations that are 90% liberal and Fox at 50% liberal together, we get a grand total of 500 points – which is then divided by a total of 6 news organizations.   And so thus for the grand finale, we get an 81% liberal bias overall within America – just from the 6 major TV news organizations.

No wonder we as conservatives have such a hard time getting our word out!   The playing field is no where near level!   There is little or no chance for us to get a fair shake at the TV news table.

Of course, this little exercise was just fun and games.   But, there is a serious side to it also. 

I have often thought that one of the biggest mistakes that the conservative camp has made has been to never start their own TV network.  

I still emphatically believe that if that would ever be done – well – nothing but good things would automatically develop over time.

And, the reason for this is simple – yet – profound.

Our form of government was created with certain checks and balances – the various branches of government; and then, a news media to watch over them.  

And on top of all that, the press was given certain rights so as to help keep everything fair and square.

But all of that was created by our founding fathers back in time – before the likes of Karl Marx entered the scene.

Karl Marx and other European philosophers did their dirty work over a period of years.   And like a bunch of fools, we here in American allowed such filth to filter into all aspects of our educational system and society as a whole.

In fact, after 1917 and the introduction of Communism into the world scene, that brand of corruption of the facts of life has also permeated throughout our American culture and society without us ever actually knowing it.  

And because of our lack of diligence, what our founding fathers had originally created has basically been mortally wounded – AND – WE DO NOT EVEN KNOW IT!

Thus, if one looks at the totality of our news media with a fair and open mind, one must confess that they are very liberal.   So obviously then, they will not condemn their allies – which of necessity must automatically include all those to follow Marxism to one degree or another.      

Yet those same liberals are the very ones who are standing in judgment over the government and elected officials – yet I ask – who, pray tell, is standing in judgment over them and their extreme liberal biases?!!!!!!

So thus, we find that an elite group of modern day Marxists [to varying degrees] are standing in judgment over others – yet – no one is standing in judgment over them!  

AND WE THE PEOPLE JUST BLINDLY FOLLOW ALONG WITH THIS NONSENSE WITHOUT EVEN GIVING IT A SECOND THOUGHT!!!!!!!!!!

Might there not be just a tad bit of hypocrisy within the liberal camp?!
