Reply #4: One has to understand what Google "News" is and how to use it.

[tom_paine]

Google "News" is sort of a quick reference list of What the Aristocratic Rulers of Americcca Want The Plebeians to Focus On.

It is NOT, repeat NOT, to be confused with actual news or journalism or anything besides marketing, PR, and propaganda.

I LIKE looking at Google News because it tells me what new thoughts and false histories the American Subject Populace is being inoculated with. "Today's Pravda" it would be called if our Soviet-like Corporate M$M was serving Communist Ruling Elites instead of Capitalist Ruling Elites, who are pretty much the same people no matter what philosophy they use to justify their plundering the other 99.9% of us.

Thus, I accept Google News for what it is, and use it like the tool it is.

Not to get informed, or to find out what is going on the world, but to see what my fellow Plebeians are being programmed with by their/our Masters.

I feel your pain, but the way to get past it is to understand that Google "News" is no more "News" than the rest of Corporate M$M and the RW Lie Machine it is now fused to.

I LIKE Google News because, in a glance, I can see what Today's Corporate Pravda is without having to watch minutes or even hours of Corporate Cable TV Infoganda/Pravda, which is well known to atrophy the mind in every possible way, making one less intelligent, less conscious, less able to think for one's self, among other detriments.

I am not trying to belittle your very valid feelings, but acceptance might be better here.

Google "News" is nothing of the sort. It is merely one more flickering screen in the False Reality Generator that is the American Media Hologram (kudos to Joe Bageant for coining the term).

It is useful in knowing what our fellow Plebeians are programmed with for that day, when the programming changes, what false histories/RW Lies are being manufactured to justify Today's Corporate Pravda, etc.
