Media Ghouls Are Feasting Again

A big attagirl for Ms. Loesch:



In the coming weeks the public is going to hear all of the crap they hear every time a nut job or a political activist makes a statement with a gun, a plane, or a truck. So I suggest that television be prohibited from reporting massacres. Notice that I say television —— not print media that has First Amendment protection. I am convinced that removing the publicity that follows every killing will also remove a major component in the incentive. Nuts will always get weapons, but they should not be rewarded before the fact —— well-knowing they will get instant fame.

Citing a few sick observers who show up at every tragedy does not justify media ghouls recruiting shooters to the cause. Media’s recruiting drive is a political cause aimed at abolishing the Second Amendment. Proof: Nobody loves a shooting more than gun-grabbers. Proof: Media’s wall-to-wall advertising feeds the gun-grabber agenda after every shooting.

NOTE: A broadcast license can be revoked on the day television ghouls show up at a killing.

Do a little research and you will see a vast difference in television coverage between government slaughters like the Branch Davidian Massacre and the Oklahoma City Bombing. Hillary Clinton’s killing spree in Waco still holds the record for mass killing in the U.S.

Television sells everything from automobiles to pills. Every time there is an outcry against the 24-7 coverage media ghouls breakout their favorite slogan —— The Public’s Right To Know. In fact, the only Right that matters to media’s bottom line is their Right to sell everything with tax deductible advertising dollars.

The sacred public (the suckers) only hear media ghouls brag about the power of advertising selling products and corrupt politicians. If I live a thousand years I will never hear the filth who own the broadcast licenses explain why advertising sells everything, while they deny selling the next slaughter. Ghouls have been getting away with murder for so long fools must believe that advertising only sells beneficial products, caring people, and benign government.

Print journalists never relished death to the extent television journalists thrive on dead bodies. I always compare TV ghouls to Herbert Morrison reporting a tragedy when America was a different country. Thirty-five people died on the Hindenburg. Listen to the way he cried in pain at the loss of life:



Tombstone Tuesday: Herbert Morrison, Voice of Hindenburg Disaster « BillionGraves Blog

In today’s world the Hindenburg would get one news cycle while school shootings get 24-7 coverage every day for weeks.

TV ghouls hate earthquakes and tidal waves because they strike before the ghouls can milk an impending natural disaster like a hurricane for all its worth.

The sad truth is that TV ghouls cry crocodile tears when the predicted effects of a natural disaster fizzle out. By television standards Hurricane Irma failed all expectations because she did not go up thru the center of Florida as a category 5 hurricane. My daughter cracked me up when she just called television coverage The Cone of Terror.

Media ghouls were praying for death tolls that would exceed the Jamestown Flood that claimed close to 3,000 lives. At the very least Irma —— the mother of all wind storms —— promised more destruction than a mere dam breaking.

The United Nations got more coverage than did the people who were actually helping the victims immediately after the tsunami hit Indonesia. In addition, Goofy Annan tried to hustle billions of tax dollars for a long-term rebuilding effort even though Indonesia is extremely wealthy in natural resources. Happily, the hustle fell short:

Annan: 5-10 Years to Rebuild from Tsunami - ABC News

Muslim combatants thrive on the publicity they get from flying planes into tall buildings, from driving trucks into crowds, from planting bombs everywhere, and so on. Intimidating government officials is their political agenda. This is how intimidation worked on at least one judge:


Television ghouls protect their tax dollar incomes when they blanket their shows with 24-7 coverage of shootings. It is the aftermath that is the real recruiting tool.

Nothing on television, and I mean nothing, tampers with television’s revenues.

Trump can stop media coverage without going to Congress. He only has to threaten to eliminate the advertising tax deduction to see how fast media ghouls stop recruiting school shooters.

NOTE: Bret Baier’s panel put lipstick on a pig when they touched on media recruiting; nevertheless, they deserve a great deal of credit for even mentioning a career-killer. Move the cursor to 5:50 to hear the brief exchange:

Trump promotes arming teachers, ending gun-free zones | On Air Videos | Fox News

All of the bullcrap flying around about protecting“the children” is pathetic. Arming teachers is all about protecting the teachers and their tax dollar incomes not the children.

Parents who love their children can take them out of the line of fire by homeschooling their kids. The fact is that teachers’ unions will never allow Trump to suggest taking money away from public schools and putting it into homeschooling programs via flash drives. I am talking about the three R’s not the garbage the ED teaches.

The American education establishment is only interested in identifying and rewarding those children whose personalities are compatible with Socialism. Such children are pushed forward and given material rewards after they complete their education and are deemed loyal Socialists —— they are welcomed to feast at the public trough. If education continues down the same road it has been traveling on since the FDR years it is inevitable that one day soon this country will be governed by a handful of teacher’s pets. What a wonderful country it will be then!

Aside from home-schooled kids escaping Socialist brainwashing, public school educators have been writing off the “wrong children” children for at least four generations. Why waste time teaching young children a solid foundation in the three R’s when they show no aptitude for Socialism/Communism at a very early age. It does not take a genius to distinguish the “right children” thriving in an institutional setting beginning in the kindergarten.

As for the undeserving, they are given obedience training that passes for education. In simple terms a prison is every institution unmasked —— more so in today’s public schools.

Finally, remember this one. The media filled up countless commercial hours every day for 7 or 8 weeks. Media ghouls even ran one hour specials talking about:

A big attagirl for Ms. Loesch:

Loesch said that studies have shown that school shooters referenced Columbine in some way and at some point.

“The media has got to stop creating more of these monsters by oversaturation,” Loesch said.​

The NRA has a TV channel ya know...

Utter nonsense, the media will report on NEWS because it is news. In this 24 hour news media world you cannot whine about the fact that news media actually report on news.

And FYI, a school or mass shooting is news. A disappearance can be news. A notorious crime can be news. And news companies and journalists report on such news. Complaining about this as a reason why school shootings take place is ludicrous IMHO.

I agree somewhat with the spirit of your post. However, the media are merely the distributors of the drug the masses are addicted to - that drug is bad news. More than twice as many kids die in school-related transportation accidents as shootings, but this represents mundane reality. The addicted masses aren't interested in it.

To fight the addiction, we must realize that the discussion about reducing school bus deaths is twice as important as how to reduce school shootings.

To Peter King: Did you mean ‘24 minute news’?

Tape any one hour news show. Then time every part. After you eliminate the sign-ons, government propaganda, the commercials, the sad talk, the happy talk, and advertising that is reported as a news story, you will be lucky if you get one minute of news.

Here is an example of advertising reported as a news story:



I can only guess at the money the wine industry paid to have that story run on every television station throughout the day.

NOTE: If one million adults began buying wine because of that commercial the industry would rake in hundreds of millions of dollars every year. I guess that is why it pays to advertise.

Television has to chew up the clock in order to keep all of the media parasites on the payroll. Every network runs the same stuff all day long with different people repeating everything. They even use the same clips on every show.

Consider the total number of network and local channel media parasites living on tax deductible advertising dollars.

Nope, 24 hour news.

And the song remains the same, the more news media the more attention, and as the internet has created loads of sources of news, the traditional news media has to compete with that hence the constant repeats of the story. That is how TV news works. but to blame shootings on that is a lazy excuse IMHO. Even more than whining about the number of entrances and exits.

Your premise is nonsense. The only thing that the US media should to is not release the name of the shooter. But when the court case starts this name becomes public anyway, hell even after the arrest this comes public knowledge so why should the media in the US not report it. School shootings do not start with someone watching TV, it starts with a twisted thought in someones mind.

I agree that the media extensively covers mass shooting stories in order to push an anti-2nd amendment agenda and a result encourage more mass shootings. It doesn't take a scientist to figure that out when they are giving a soap box to those who want more anti-2nd amendment laws and air the stories for weeks at a time when they would never do the same for someone using a firearm to save lives or stop a crime. I also agree that if the media didn't give these mass murderers their 15 minutes of fame then there would be less mass shootings. Because in our hundred plus years of having semiautomatic firearms and automatic firearms the mass murders committed with firearms did not happen as much.The only thing that seems to have changed is the way the media reports on these tragedies. However revoking licenses because their over extensive coverage encourages more of it will open the door for the other side to do the same thing. Because then they can claim the way this station covers this or that encourages this bad behavior should be shut down. In other words they will revoke licenses to attack conservative causes.

Also its not just the news media itself that is exploiting these tragedies to push for more anti-2nd amendment laws.Its also the entertainment media.They will do a story of a mass shooting,push for gun control and pretend to show both sides(Like CW's the Arrow. ) or they'll do a show demonizing gun owners as being paranoid while falsely trying to show both sides(Like NBC's The Carmichael Show) or some comedian will use her show to promote gun control and have someone from a anti-2nd amendment group like the Violence Police Center to push for more anti-2nd amendment laws (Amy Schumer).

To Peter King: Hardly a red herring! The only justification for a free press is when it maintains an antagonistic relationship with government —— every form of government. That relationship barely existed in print press for more than a century, and never existed on television that does not enjoy First Amendment protection.

Peter King said:

Nope, wrong, this is TV man!

Click to expand...

To Peter King: Start at the beginning,

The American people are now paying for something they used to get free. Consumers always paid for product advertising in newspapers, but television tied pictures to words making it the government’s most effect propaganda tool ever invented.

Families sat down to listen a program in the early the radio, but for the most part radio played in the background even in automobiles. Television’s advertising targets actually sit down and listen to the propaganda because they have been led to they are watching pictures. Did you ever hear anyone say they sit down and listen to the television?

The Golden Age of Television is not a reference to programming. It refers to that time before the remote control device was invented. Back then the viewers watched, and listened to, the commercials the way God intended they should. The government still got its message out in program content and brief news broadcasts. It was a perfect world for one and all until the remote control became part of the furniture in every household with a TV.

Next came the VCR.

The Ministry of Propaganda (FCC) was losing ground and something had to be done; hence, the Fairness Doctrine stopped the hemorrhaging until President Reagan abolished it 1986. That was followed by the Internet.

The government fought back when analogue was replaced with digital transmission. Advertising was the only reason the government forced digital on the public. The result was hundreds of advertising platforms were created the same as newspapers adding hundreds of pages of advertising to one page of news. The tax deduction for advertising was passed along to the taxpayer. In short: Everybody pays even if they do not own a television —— the income tax and increases in retail prices are the most obvious.

All of those advertising platforms was the single, largest, increase in tax dollar parasites since the welfare state got started. Digital not only created parasite it increased the number of parasites taking down huge tax dollar salaries.

In addition to the hundreds of thousands of parasites who work in television a huge number of people in the advertising business cashed in the advertising tax deduction.

NOTE: Advertising existed before the XVI Amendment, while Madison Avenue cut a fat hog in the ass with the advertising tax deduction. Serendipitously, advertising no longer had to increase a company’s sales or customer base. The money keeps rolling so long as the public paid for the advertising from start to finish.

Why immediately jump to the conclusion that the state should control free speech? Why not ask whether media outlets ought to monitor their own broadcasts? After all, do they not now take care not to release the names of deceased victims until family members have been notified? Do they not withhold the names of minors? If just one major broadcasting company were to state that they will no longer mention the name or the image of a shooter, I would certainly choose that outlet to watch because it demonstrates integrity. Many others would as well, and, eventually, other outlets would follow course. Of course, names, etc., could likely still be found on social media, but most folks still turn into the news for their updates.

How often do you turn on your news and watch people fornicating? Never? Well, if a natural act isn't shown on the news, there's no reason why the media should continue to sensationalize these shootings.

Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.​

Lets face it. Hollywood movies told us that American Indians never harmed demented people. Even if you believe that crap, there is every reason to execute a nut job who murders children.

NOTE: Socialists/Communists are out to abolish the death penalty as much as they want to abolish the Second Amendment, and they intend to do both without amending the Constitution.

And it is idiotic to claim anybody can abolish the second amendment, total and utter insanity. It is a law that is unbreakable just as the first amendment is and any claims that it is anything else is total nonsense.

And socialists/communists are out to abolish the death penalty :lamo

Are you clearly suggesting that 41% of the US population is socialist or communist :lamo

The death penalty is expensive, racist, futile and not something that will stop murder from happening, it does not frighten people away from a life of crime and murder.
