Wednesday 7th December 2011

I am, unfortunately out until mid-afternoon but, in the meantime, I thought it might exercise the brains of the 'unenlightened' if I left, for further consideration, a thought on why our MSM is in the dire straits it is. (paraphrasing Bertrand Russell)
"A stupid man's report of what a politician says can never be accurate, because he unconsciously translates what he hears into something he can understand."
Is it any wonder, therefore, that the public is so ill-informed?

Just saying...........

And our intelligentsia restrict words that are perfectly capable of conveying meaning so that we do not convey politically incorrect meaning. Eventually - within not more than one generation - we will be unable to articulate independent thought.

That assumes that what politicians say is not stupid.

H: True also - but then do our MSM know the difference?

Ukf True also.

We live in a society which ignores the effect of drugs. Breivik abused steroids like so many lone gunmen - traders in The City abuse cocaine etc. The use of drugs is deliberately ignored by our Media but can probably explain much of present days problems including the arrogance of the Banking, Media, Politician Classes.....it is not a rarity but concentrated in these groups
