Irrational Media Maintains BBC Propaganda Was Merely Edit, Error, … Epic Fail !! ;)

What makes something someone publishes “Fake News”? What makes false statements, lies and deceit an epic fail?

I have already written at length about the difference between rational media (based on natural language) and irrational media (based on brand names) — and also about my opinion that irrational media are distrustworthy* (i.e., that they are **worthy of *distrust). [1]

At this point, I cannot comprehend why anyone would pay any attention to irrational media — besides, perhaps, as some kind of diversion simply for “shits and giggles”.

And yet when I listen to Adam saying “I’ve been watching the quad-screen” and then mentioning that a “developing story is worth discussing for a moment” that reeks of their old-fashioned approach to what they (Adam and John) consider to be “mainstream media”. ( NoAgenda Show, Episode 1815, 2:38:40 [ https://www.noagendashow.net/listen/1815/transcript?t=2:38:40 ] )

Yet Adam and John are not alone in their outrage and (“pearl clutching”) over their “self inflicted” (that’s a hat tip to Immanuel Kant’s seminal work concerning “What is Enlightenment?”) outdated perspectives. People who follow this backwards (indeed, I am inclined to even say “retarded“) view of “mainstream” have mainly themselves to blame. Here I am reminded of the image of Emerson visiting Thoreau in jail. [2]

People are free to pay attention to whatever they want to pay attention to. If someone wishes to pay attention to irrational media, then simply must deal with the associated consequences of that decision.

Let me repeat that again: Anyone who is shocked or outraged about what they themselves chose to pay attention to has only themselves to blame for having paid any attention to it.

The only way something can be true or false is if someone is able to compare it to some more or less “objective” measuring stick. Expressions made by irrational media cannot be compared to anything other than the brand name used to contextualize the expression. Here, I am reminded of the way (in its early days) Google was quite eager to point out that it’s search engine “results” were merely the opinion of the Google company (which they have — in the meantime — rebranded as “Alphabet”).

Personally, since I am not interested in irrational media, I don’t see any reason to be upset when some irrational media publisher publishes blatant propaganda.
