A recent barrage of advertisements on Australian television, states that the news brought to you is from news desks that you can trust.This is a new propaganda machine started by the major networks (authorities) in order to win over the general populous into believing that the information provided is true and accurate.
News media companies are conducive to government policies and agendas that are represented by the government of the day. This holds true for all types of governance from Aristocracies, Democracies, Dictatorships, Monarchies Oligarchies, throughout the Eastern and Western political worlds.
The bias of the mass media in modern society has been well documented by sociologists, scholars, and to a lesser extent, politicians and lawmakers.
The news media is often caught out not reporting accurately, either intentionally or in unwittingly, not only by the masses, but also by other institutions and/or government departments.
An example of inaccurate reporting is that of by the government’s police media liaison office, which in many cases provides misleading information with regards to matters of criminal conduct by either individuals or associated gang members. This is a well known fact to the personnel involved within the departments.
One strict agenda of the mass media, is to keep the general population entertained, rather than educated. One method of achieving this is to keep the masses entertained with trivial matters, simultaneously dumbing down the viewer.
Media outlets work hard to provide entertained that is of little value to the social and moral well being of the community at large. This is done on purpose to lower the values of the general population, which in order creates social unrest, which is a diversion from attentions being focused on the corrupt dealings of politicians and governments.
Both governments and the media moguls conspire to provide misleading information to the masses.
