It's as old as the Bible. What is truth? As when Pontius Pilate spoke to Christ before His Crucifixion.
"Pilate said, "So, then you are a king?"
"Jesus answered, "It is you who way that I am a king. I was born for this, I came into the world for this, to bear witness to the truth; and all who are on the side of truth listen to my voice."
"Truth? What is truth?!? Pontius Pilate John 18:37-38 33 A.D.
"Quid est veritas?! The Media 2018 A.D.
Hoaxed - Everything they Told Us is a Lie
I attended the Washington, DC pre-party and movie screening of the documentary Hoaxed on December 6, 2018 that explores truth and it's opposite, lies, as the "media" delivers it everyday to our TV's, websites, cell phones, iPads, to our eyes and ears, hearts and heads.."Pilate said, "So, then you are a king?"
"Jesus answered, "It is you who way that I am a king. I was born for this, I came into the world for this, to bear witness to the truth; and all who are on the side of truth listen to my voice."
"Truth? What is truth?!? Pontius Pilate John 18:37-38 33 A.D.
"Quid est veritas?! The Media 2018 A.D.
Hoaxed - Everything they Told Us is a Lie
While there, I enjoyed meeting Mike Cernovich, the producer of Hoaxed. Humble guy.
Just remarkable on so many levels and in so many ways.
It makes the case that the corporate media has been lying to us for decades...and worse, getting away with their lies. And more worse, people have died and continue to die due to their lies.
More importantly, it presents proof...turning the tables in interview after interview to show how they lie and to what end.
When I was in the USAF I was taught that war was the rational application of violence to succeed toward a predetermined end.
When I watched Hoaxed I came away with the knowledge that the corporate media has been rationally and irrationally applying lies to succeed toward a predetermined end. That predetermined end is the lies they present as truth as they present it, convey it, create it, support it, and maintain it.
But Hoaxed, and other trends, have gone beyond old media and are creating alternative.
I cut the cable cord three years ago and get basic antenna TV.
Most TV bores me.
But there is wonderful alternative news out there providing creative, critical thinking, content.
For example, I watch Mike Closer on TheBestCloser show via the Periscope app on my cell phone in the morning and the evening.
He amalgamates content from hundreds of websites, YouTube videos, TV shows, guests and viewers.
The show is completely interactive with viewers contributing much of the content.
It is real, authenticated news because he actually verifies his sources, stories, and guests.
Contrast that to the 60 Minutes interview that Mike Cernovich has in Hoaxed with pervy Scott Pelly who just drips with disdain, anger, evil, and deceit. Everything about Scott is smarmy...the way he tastes his eye glasses during the interview, the affectations and phony voice tonality, the "gotcha" after "gotcha" questions, the slimy defense of obvious false narratives about Hilary Clinton...
As evidence of the change, a month after that interview 60 Minutes got 3 million Twitter impressions. Mike Cernovich got 83 million. Who do you think is winning the future of who controls the news?
More Links of those interviewed in Hoaxed. All are worth looking up.
