1935 ROMNESIA ANYONE?
Let’s end the week with a little
news.
Last night I caught a few ‘fact
checking’ reports.
They covered the statement in the
debate when Romney used the phrase ‘apology tour’.
Now- over the past year this term
has a meaning- sort of like ‘Obama care’.
In the talk show/news circuit it
means that the President did indeed do a world tour where he felt like he would
try and establish a new relationship with foreign leaders.
Now- some say he was naïve-
others think he did well- either way- the term ‘apology tour’ refers to this
trip.
In the debate- when Romney used
the term- the president responded that Romney is a liar- and that he never
‘apologized’.
Got ya.
Now- Romney never said he
apologized- and in response Romney said when he uses the term ‘apology tour’ he
is not in any way saying he actually used the words ‘I apologize’.
No- Romney gave an honest/truthful
response- he said that during this tour- the president did use words like ‘the
U.S. has dictated to you other countries at times- and this will be a new
season’.
Romney basically said- yes Mr.
president- your right- you never actually apologized- but you represented the
U.S. in a way that said we were arrogant in the past- we responded to 9-11 in a way that was inconsistent with our values
[I heard him say this myself- he was referring to the water boarding stuff].
Okay- basically Romney used the
term- sort of like Obama uses Romnesia- he is not saying that Romney actually
suffers from some strange form of amnesia- no- he is saying that Romney changes
his position on stuff.
Okay- now here’s how the media
tries to manipulate the public.
The reports I saw yesterday- the
so called ‘fact checkers’ they went thru some of the speeches Obama gave during
this ‘apology tour’ [they left out the ones where he did use the most
apologetic language].
And at the end of their fact
checking- they said ‘no- Romney is wrong [liar?] because the president never
actually apologized’.
Ah- so the unsuspecting public
thinks that Romney actually said the president apologized- and then when you
hear these reports- these so called ‘fact checks’ you then think ‘gee- that
Romney is a liar’.
Okay- where were the reports that
said ‘ no- in fact- Romney does not suffer from Romnesia’?
See?
That’s media manipulation- that’s
media bias- the media shapes a story in a way that makes you think the way they
want you to think.
The actual fact is- Romney- nor anyone
that I ever heard use the term- ever meant that Obama actually said ‘I’m
sorry’.
But the fact check made you think
that was the accusation.
A few years ago there was a news story
about a trip to Afghanistan by some senators.
Later on it was reported that
some military leaders might have used a form of propaganda on the senators.
Psychological Op’s.
They supposedly did this in order
to influence the senators to take their side in the war- I think it had to do
with funding or man power.
After the report surfaced- the
senators did of course condemn it- but they also said ‘look- we’re big boys- we
can’t be swayed by stuff like that’.
But- when you use propaganda- you
use it in a way that when you ‘persuade’ the victim- he does not know it.
For instance- maybe when the
senators were there for a week- the military guys spoke in a negative way about
a certain group/position.
But they did it in what you
thought was normal conversation- maybe after a week- you think your just listening
in to regular conversation- but everything you heard was to persuade you.
Then- when you get back home- if
a vote comes up on the issue- you have already heard all the pros’ [or con’s]
and this would indeed effect you.
That’s manipulation- that’s all
the ‘fact checks’ that said ‘no- Obama never apologized- Romney is wrong’.
When you read/hear that- you
think Romney accused Obama of apologizing- but he never did- he even went out
of his way in the debate to say ‘when I use the term Apology Tour- I do not
mean you actual apologized- no- I mean…’
Yet- the media still covered the
story the way they wanted you to see it.
Now- is this one little thing
such a big deal?
No- not if this were the only
time it was done.
But the fact is- the media do
this every day.
They focus on a story that they
think might hurt someone [like a 40 year old hair cut that Romney gave to some
kid- a ‘bullying incident’].
But the murder of 4 Americans in
Libya- and the absolute failure on the part of the administration by not
protecting our guys- no- on some news shows this gets zero coverage.
That’s manipulation- that’s bias-
that’s what you don’t see.
Yes- like the well meaning
senators- you might think ‘heck- I’m not that dumb’.
But the media must think we are-
because they keep on doing it- day after day.
No wait- maybe they think we
suffer from that newly coined disease- what was it again?
Oh yeah- Romnesia- that’s it.
Note- Do me a favor, those who
read/like the posts- re-post them on other sites as well as the site you read
them on. Thanks- John. Don’t forget to scroll down on the timeline [Facebook] -
