Sunday Thoughts February 12, 2023

One of the weirdest things of this age is how the media will ignore stories that in the past they would have covered with enthusiasm. The Seymour Hersh story on the bombing of Nord Stream is a good example of the great leaving alone that is now common. Hersh was a pillar of far left radical media for decades, so he has the proper credentials. It is not as if he is a sketchy character or on one of the enemy lists of the Left. Yet, his story has been ignored.

We are seeing something similar with the train wreck and chemical spill in Ohio. That is a major story that should be leading the newscasts and headlines across the country. It has the human interest angle and it fits into what used to be a comfortable media narrative. That is evil corporations not caring about the damage they cause to mother earth. Instead of that story, we get wall-to-wall coverage on the government shooting down another mysterious balloon of unknown origin.

I think what has happened over the last thirty years is that the media has evolved to wait for cues from the ruling class before they promote a story. If tomorrow the White House comes out with a narrative and stages a photo-op in Ohio, then all of the news sites will be leading with the story, repeating some version of the talking points. Since the White House is talking about balloons, then the story is ignored in favor of balloons.
