what sort of epoch are we aiming for?

some media outlets make a pretense of objectivity as they create “news” that both reinforces and steers worldview…some are so blatantly propagandistic that a pretense to objectivity would be laughable…and that is just as well since I have to think anyone who would subscribe to this howler isn’t interested in objectivity ( is anyone actually interested in “objectivity”? have to wonder )…rather they would want their dogmatism validated in print…this rag landed in my mailbox a day or so ago and I have been perusing it…virulently anti-people’s republic of china, it is a mouthpiece of falun gong which, as far as I can see, has jumped into bed with the trumpists, finding in them an ally in their war with the chinese communist party…this may eventually prove to be brilliant or profoundly short-sighted depending on which way donny leans...and that may be an issue for astrologers and augurers of chicken entrails rather than objective analysis…
a simple glance at the story lede is enough to highlight the bias here…donny is the victim…which is what he and his base have been whining since 2020...and one is inclined to suppose that the “lawyer” might be one of trumpy’s “legal team” who are working a strategy of delay and denial in hopes that 2024 sees the entire morass vacated by some quasi-legal self-pardon…
a clear case of transference here as one would think an elite school would have little interest in “scrapping” a document that created and sustained a government by and for the elite for well over two centuries…the one likely to tear it up is donny as he pursues the dream of “president for life” so as to confound the legal systems relentless “persecution” and “witch hunting”...
another trumpist sycophant in congress? seemingly not as much of an attention whore as that greene woman and some more notable senators ( the fawning graham comes rushing to mind )...
one for the anti-vaxer sub-culture in donny’s base…it was all a hoax after all…no one actually died…the media lie ( except, of course, the epoch times…they have the “real news” that I “deserve”…well, if I were to actually believe any of this I suppose I would “deserve” it…as it stands it is such a blatant exercise in propaganda that even the ministry of truth [or the new york times for that matter ] would choke on it )…
and if you want your rigid ideological stance reinforced you can have this in your mailbox weekly at the bargain price of $139/year…$2.673/and issue…a “deal”…i am paying more than double that for access to the new york times in an effort to ferret out exactly what it is that the east coast elite want me to think…they are a slippery bunch and it takes some thought to piece together their manipulations…the epoch times spits on subtlety…like gratuitous nudity in film, you can’t miss the point they are making…the times is a bit more restrained…and they have some word games you can play and a crossword you can work while you are being indoctrinated…the epoch times doesn’t have time for that sort of frivolity…they have to save donny and his cohorts ( co-conspirators? wagering you won’t see that assemblage of word in the epoch times…they have editors just like the times and they have strict guidelines coming down from the top )…there are times when i marvel at just how stupid editors from the times ( epoch or new york ) think i am…like politicians everywhere and at every level editors ( and “news producers” in the electronic media ) are slime
