Dictionary.com defines Banter as “an exchange of light, playful, teasing remarks; good-natured raillery.” That’s the last thing you would want your source for world and local political, economic, and social information or news to be.
Many of us are all too familiar, with our college degrees in hand, with the corporate world, fancying ourselves as would be future C.E.O.’s. We must surely all be at a point where the basic principle of the corporate model is understood; profit above all interests. So why is that so many of us, some college educated and others experienced adult boys and girls continue to put our unwavering support and blind faith into corporate media? In other words if we all know that we can’t trust main stream media why the FUCK is everyone still getting their news from there?
There is a word for useless information and pointless discussion, its called BANTER! That’s exactly what the major news outlets are providing; more and more banter so a bunch of C- averaging college graduates can talk about bullshit at their Monday morning chitchat session over the water cooler. Think I’m mistaken? Well put this idea to the test?
Ask your above average intelligent self what was the last piece of news (bullshit) you soaked up from the media machine? Then apply that to who you are and where you want to be, meaning how has that information improved your larger socio economic status? Oh shit, it hasn’t!? No fucking lie.
Tell me how and why knowing about the details of the Pro wrestler Chris Benoit murder suicide weekend extravaganza has enriched your life. Are you still broke? Do you still have to get up Tuesday morning to get to that wack ass job? Are you still sticking to your five year plan?
Or better yet, enlighten me as to how any of the front page articles on the New York Times relate to you: NYT
Now I’m sure there’s a puta out there that’s all like, (in half whiny sellout half feminine bitch ass voice) “I like to be informed about what’s going on in the world and my community”. For the sake of brevity I’d reply simply by grabbing this dumb fuck by the ears and ramming my knee into his face 8 or nine times. And then explaining… “Look lil puta, you gotta understand that there are five dominating monopolies that own and operate the media industry; Time Warner, Disney, Murdoch's News Corporation, Bertelsmann of Germany and Viacom. And those major corporations that aren’t owned by the “Big Five” as they are called are still subject to the corporate agenda. That being the case, what type of news do you think that you are getting? Something that will entertain, psychologically manipulate your desires thus creating a zombie consumer with an endless craving for material things that you don’t need, all the while encouraging a pacifist attitude making you more likely to consent and accept the degrading social and economic conditions… perhaps.”
It just makes sense, if I controlled something that you use to get informed; well I’m going to use that to inform you of things that will be advantageous for me.
I know why we continue to get our news from “daddy” (and you would call the corporate media structure daddy to if you noticed how much cake their eatin). It’s the larger issues about us Americans in general not interested in responsibility and the work of holding those people in charge accountable for a declining society. We’ll get into that with another article.) (And don’t cry Captain
Suffice to say, to that lil chump who supports main stream media if “daddy’s” so reliable in keeping your educated ass informed, where was he when Rwanda was eating itself alive in its genocidal civil war of 1994? Oh, was he too busy covering a story much more vital to your lil bitch ass existence, like the OJ Simpson trial? What about the 2003 illegitimate invasion of Iraq. Papi must have been a bit too preoccupied with something more important, like Jacko’s latest Catholic priest servicing of another alter boy. If so, consider viewing this dad like most other (but not all) American fathers, as dead beat and useless deserters who were too busy getting their “shit together” to take responsibility and being held accountable for what they should have been doing.
On that note, I gotta go, Oreily’s on and I can’t wait to know about more shit that will wont make me shit.
Peace.
