FAKE NEWS?
How contemptible for politicians, the BBC and all the other main stream media outlets to complain about fake news.
No one can deny that the internet is saturated with fake news, but most of it is so obviously fake that with a moments reasoned examination it becomes clear that most of it is just ‘Click Bait’ designed to provoke a reaction or manipulate opinion.

However when it comes to fake news, nobody does it better than the aforementioned culprits. One only has to look at how the subject of immigration and multiculturalism is handled. They are falling over each other to present it in a favourable light, whilst demonising anyone who attempts to unwrap the facts as a racist or a xenophobic Nazi.

The subject of the Monarchy also gets the same relentless positive treatment with presenters falling over themselves in competition to display the most embarrassing levels of obsequious grovelling deference. It’s enough to make you sick.

Then we have the frenzied coverage that focuses on celebrity worship. Creating millionaires out of talentless narcissistic exhibitionists then fawning over them and their obscene wealth as if they were emperors, and inciting the audience to do the same.

Just how they have the gall to complain about fake news is an outrage, but it does serve to illustrate their vanity for their own illusions and authority. A false authority that in my view is far more dangerous than the click bait we see elsewhere. A charade that falls apart and is exposed the moment the audience decides to regain their faculties of reason and think for themselves.

When your society is being manipulated and governed by such an organised regime of denial, manipulation and fake news, it runs the risk of destabilising the very society it claims to protect. When such organisations are made up of hundreds of thousands of people, and every one of them, without exception, proclaim without the slightest sign of embarrassment that ‘Islam is a religion of peace’, I think you may find that complaints of fake news almost too outrageous for words.
