The news God(s)
Sometimes you wonder if the people who work for the (mass) media think of themselves like having a little of the touch of a deity. Totally overestimate their role in and for society and the services in practice they deliver.
Because - how could it be otherwise that alpha journalists who are economically relatively safe mindlessly repeat propaganda over and over again aggressively that screams of being such, or even join creating fake shit where it’s obvious later if you see it that it’s made up, that it’s been created, artificially arranged and cut together? If people from the outside can find out without the use of higher science that something is arranged circus, how come that the journalists who report the crap can’t recognize it similarly?
If that’s the case, there’s only one option... That they know they present fake and arranged shit. But they either don’t care or harbor the mentality “the ends justify the means”.
Meaning: They imagine being on a mission from the Lord himself or some sort of that.
Think like they have truth, justice and rightfulness on their side, and what they proclaim is totally unquestionable. Only a fool would dare to do that.
Because - it’s noticeable that acting as a tool of propaganda and war factories isn’t solely done by people who work for the media whose position is in economically precarious conditions, that they have to do that as part of their job because they don’t have the necessary personal freedom to refuse doing something.
Even more it’s being done by people who rather have made it up to the highest ranks, who are in an economically favorable position, who are firmly employed and don’t have to worry so soon about not getting engaged anymore by certain media houses, fired or dropped by the whole “craft” itself because of supposedly “having gone crazy” or “having joined the enemy side/the side of the unreasonable ones”.
So... if you can factually afford refusing, but don’t do it and even hang around at the front of the information war directly, rehashing the crap of the powerful ones or crap that’s supposed to influence the powerful ones (especially from politics), then there is nothing left but assuming a targeted will and belief in the shit that you spread and propagate.
Combined with probably overestimating yourself and your personal role for the ongoings of the world outside of human society, and subscribing to some sort of megalomania “I’m the news content because I make the news content!” (similarly to “I am the law!”) - the same arbitrariness that one can see with people who are self-righteous from the depths of their hearts and are little tyrants below the surface.
