Why You Shouldn’t Trust The Media or ‘Fact Checkers’

It’s no surprise to anyone that the mainstream media is biased. There are a million reasons why you shouldn’t trust the media or fact checkers to do your research for you. They’ve been proven incompetent liars time and time again.

It’s not like this is any “new” news. Noam Chomsky wrote about it in his book Manufacturing Consent way back in 1988. Media has been a strong-arm propaganda tool for whoever has the most political sway since they were first created.

People on the left claim Fox News is right-wing trash. People on the right claim NY Times, Huffington Why You Shouldn't Trust The MediaPost, CNN, etc are globalist propaganda machines.

The truth is, they are all trash. None should be taken at complete face-value.

 

How The Media Bias Works

 

The mainstream media works by providing catchy slogans and emotional appeals to disgruntle your perception of reality. Even in the titles of their articles – they are meant simply to catch and hold your attention. But they often allude a change into your version of reality, whether they are right or wrong.

Take for example the fact check engine by NBC:

why you shouldn't trust the media

This is an obvious false logical-play on words.

No one with half a brain would suggest that Clinton would literally “acid wash” her email server. (There are much better and more efficient ways to destroy a physical server anyway).

The problem was that the items were in the cloud/still online. Destroying the server wouldn’t erase them. She used the app to “bleach” her online activities from scrutiny. This is obvious to anyone with half a brain. Which apparently NBC, does not have.

But it is a great example of media bias and the impounding effect. If you see and hear enough of something, you may believe it. So if enough gullible people see/hear about Trump being a liar, it’s much easier to make them uneasy about his political agenda. Because who would trust a liar?

 

Why You Shouldn’t Trust The Media

 

They capitalize on sensationalist stories and click-bait. It’s much easier for them to get more clicks (and thus more revenue) by spouting utter nonsense. Things such as their opinions, massive crime sprees, and other disingenuous or otherwise stupid articles.

A good example is the crime rate. Many Americans believe that crime is at insane levels. This is because of the constant mention of it in the news. However, the truth is that instances of crime have actually dropped tremendously!

It doesn’t help that many of these organizations are owned the same political entities. In 2012 a report showed that 6 corporations controlled 90% of the media.

These media conglomerates have huge donors and supporters. Many times, those supporters have political agenda’s. The political appeal to use the media as a tool is well documented in many, many different texts. And it’s still happening. Because people still believe in this nonsense.

It’s easy to think of the media as an honest open book. You would think that all of their inaccuracies would be pointed out. However, there’s far too much information put out by these media organizations to produce a rebuttal for them all. And considering they are all owned by 6 corporations, there isn’t going to be a lot of in-fighting.

They are beasts of self-interest.

 

They Are Human

 

All humans have biases. Any person that tells you otherwise is biased against biases.

The media is just another arm for human endeavors. And because they have their own principle reporters and journalists, those people will carry their own bias.

This naturally conflicts with good journalism ethics – because they are supposed to remain neutral.

But what if the company allows a “political lean”? They allow certain articles and reports to have personalized opinions that match the companies?

This is where we get into problems with media corruption and bias. And it’s yet another principle reason why you shouldn’t trust the media.

Why You Shouldn't Trust The Media

This is another perfect example of human bias. They have a political lean towards Sanders, so they were perfectly fine giving him the reasonable doubt. Whereas with Trump, nope – hit him with the textbook.

“Fact Checkers” always do this sort of tactic. One person is right, the other is wrong, depending on how you look at the statistics.

 

The Media Will Alter Any of Their Values If It Fits Their Narrative

 

It doesn’t matter what the belief or value is. Even if it is something they vehemently support (when it is convenient). They will still alter it to paint the other person in a bad lightening.

So pretty much exactly like McCarthyism, which they always whine about.

Some easy on-the-eyes examples:

  • Objectifying people on the basis of sex is terrible – but look at that bulge!
  • I can’t believe how white that government selfie is! It’s almost as white as our editor meeting!
  • White America must answer for terrorism, but Muslims don’t have to answer for terrorism!
  • We need to know what’s in John McCain’s medical records, but asking about Clinton’s is sexist!

Do I really need to say more?

 

The Reality On Why You Shouldn’t Trust The Media

 

Because it’s in your benefit not too.

You’ll be able to learn to think for yourself. Not just gobble down nonsense and lies.

You’ll be able to be much more intellectually independent! Be free from the constrains of any sort of propaganda or brainwashing. Or even, be free from simple human stupidity. You’ll become a much better, more intelligent and thought-provoking person.

So give it a shot. Next time you see a news article or report that seems misleading – research it! Find out how it is wrong and why. I guarantee you, it won’t be hard to find a logical fallacy from them.
