That corporate media is as bent as a dog’s back leg is generally accepted. Such is the arrogance of the Press, television and radio broadcasting companies they feel that they are omnipotent. So, they can shrug off and disdainfully dismiss the fact that theirs is the most discredited profession of many.

Matthew Pariss. British Press Awards Columnist of the Year ‘I know of no area of public life, no, not even politics, more saturated by a professional cynicism.’ The audience consisting of corporate media professionals laughed for his words were water off a duck’s back. They know it:

Derek Jameson, former editor of The Sun, one of Britain’s most notorious tabloids summed media up: ‘All the nudes fit to print and all the news printed to fit.’ He laughed and so did the nation as corporate media continued to provoke wars, cover-up corrupt government, promote migration and race-mixing, destroy White men’s self-esteem, distort history, and commit base treachery.

Many journalists act as agents for their government. ‘It was a known fact that journalists are quite free to roam almost anywhere with the right type of credentials. Many journalists had been inducted by their countries secret government organisations to spy or provide information. In many cases journalists had even volunteered,’ wrote Harvey Mann, Associate Editor of The Mail on Sunday. (RTN July 3, 2017).

Just as army and police professionals accept that in return for their protected species status they will be called upon to do what others would find morally reprehensible the same toxic dye is seen in journalists.

That said, we must ask ourselves, if corporate media is untouchable what can we do to convince them otherwise? It is heartening to know that whilst there is much yet to be done, media that once boasted it could topple heads of state is today a shadow of what it once was.

Thousands of newspapers and broadcasting stations have disappeared taking down the drain with them tens of thousands of journalists and advertising department personnel. Media readers and viewers have evaporated; their audience is far fewer and less trusting.

The only thing keeping the media going is online editions. But, on the internet highway the alternative media has more influence than corporate pro-regime media. Check it out: see how many Press, television and radio stories are social media sourced. Top politicians warn that harder to control social media is more influential than what used to be mainstream media.

Apart from no longer purchasing newspapers or watching television, what can the betrayed people do to get even? Here are a few suggestions.

Use one of many other ways to advertise your business. By advertising in conventional media, you waste your money. The experts know that Press advertising is not cost-effective. And, refuse to order from Press, television and radio advertisers. They will soon tire of throwing good money after bad.

Most Press give you the opportunity to comment on stories. Never miss an opportunity to mock media spin and post the alternative truth.

Never miss the chance to expose, mock and degrade both the corporate media and the dwindling numbers of self-degrading half-wits whose faith in media remains.

Broadly speaking, remove corporate media from your life as you did writing letters and postcards, by rolls of film for your cameras, buying typewriter ribbons, carbon paper and typewriters. Move on. Put newspaper, television and radio in the dustbin of history.

People lived far more interesting lives, developed self-awareness, earned greater respect in their communities and added to their incomes from the rewards of using their hobbies to earn a little extra income.

Frankly, there are so many I wouldn’t know where to start in terms of offering suggestions. I know that in nations less used to television and Press, every home, every family’s members had developed a skill of their own.

Imagine the languages and the skills you could have learnt had you pivoted away from corporate media just a few years ago. Or, to spend your evening hours designing and making garments and gifts, creating images, making dolls, toys, penning verse. Go back to reading books so you can share the lives and adventures of others as such pursuits offer far more satisfaction and reward than sitting in front of a television soaking up trailer trash trivia.

I recall pub entertainers who were far more talented than television’s carefully selected politically correct ‘entertainers’.

All it takes is a little resolve. If you can’t explore new ways of learning and rising to new challenges that add self-esteem, offer respect, a sense of personal achievement and in many cases reward, then perhaps trailer-trash corporate media is for you.
