Mark Twain Described the News Media Accurately 100 Years Ago

Some worthy quotations from Mark Twain to frame this topic:

  1. Never tell the truth to people who are not worthy of it.
  2. If you don't read the newspaper, you're uninformed. If you read the newspaper, you're misinformed.
  3. A half-truth is the most cowardly of lies.

Two more quotes:

  1. This author has his own amplification of the second quote: "If you don't read the misinformed truth then you will not be interested and entertained."
  2. From the movie "Anchor Man 2", there is the remarkable quote "The moment that news became 24-hours a day then it became entertainment".

An example of shaping the News to have the viewer come to the wrong conclusion:

Anonymous Quote on Omission is Preferred Tool of the Leftist Media

The Leftist have often been described as thinking and using methods that should not be used as believing the method of doing something that can be wrong, is permissible and morally justified when it accomplishes the end goals.

The Leftist primarily, and others of different political viewpoints, know the method of deception to be used in the public is to omit information to make the listener come to a different desired conclusion.  It is possible to tell the truth but speak with deception by the omission of facts and information.

Note: It is this author's opinion and a partial reworded excerpt from the Political Party Allegiance Topic from analysis done in the year 2023:
  1. That no matter what is said publicly by a Politician in speeches or seen in the Media concerning any person from any Political Party, it is impossible for Politicians to not eventually become corrupted willingly or unwillingly.   Choosing otherwise means the Politician will be stopped during the election or re-election process, by different entities in power.  These power entities collectively, while different from one-another and compete with one another, are control everything, so that a Politician has to ally themselves with one or more of them.
    (a) A Politician has a choice to accept financial compensation, outside of their salary, for doing actions for specific power groups that are behind the scenes, or by not accepting, the Politician becomes a target to be replaced.
    (b) The higher the public office for the Politician, there are vulnerabilities that will be exploited concerning any type of unethical and immoral proclivity that can be used as part of a type of political blackmail that is done in what is called a dossier.  J Edgar Hoover is best known in history for creating dossiers on political enemies.
    (c) At the worst level, there has been sporadic cases of Politicians and assistants to Politicians, having their lives ended by mysterious and sudden medical conditions that appear ordinary on the surface, when previous medical checkups showed no signs.
  2. It has become impossible for anyone of any Political Party to do anything to stop the corruption that has taken over the positions of office from the local to the federal level.   One Political Party, may appear to be more corrupt, from what is partially seen and heard from the Media, but all Politicians serve different power groups, where the power groups hold no political party allegiance, as their goals are financial and power gains. 
  3. Unfortunately, most of the Media is also completely corrupted, with exception of small independent sources, because the people in power behind the scenes, learned multiple decades ago that by purchasing and controlling the Media, then this allowed the process of misinformation to shape people's opinions. The tools are using half-truths, omissions, false wording, and outright deception. 
    (a) Do a search on YouTube and there are numerous examples of TV Stations all repeating the same scripted dialogues.
  4. In the year 2025, in the United States and perhaps other countries, independent persons in social media as a minority are making a difference in exposing corruption.

An American Highly Respected News Analyst Walter Cronkite Spoke about News Integrity

Walter Cronkite served as the head news host anchor for the American New Television Station CBS from 1962 to 1981.  He was famously known for his integrity and honesty in reporting the full news story.  His contributions to a CBS 1976 document on how CBS was reporting the news contained:

"The objective of the editing process is to produce a clear and succinct statement which reflects fairly, honestly and without distortion"

News Media has Become a Marketing and Political Tool that is Purchased

It can be very easily shown that most News Media Outlets no longer deliver fair, honest and without distortion reporting by:

Controlling the information presented to the public can influence how events are understood and may result in audiences not having access to complete facts.

The objectives are

  1. To create emotional reactions to increase viewership and interest.
  2. To reflect the ownership's political views with favoritism, selective and favorable interviews, and negativity on targeted areas.
    (Perform an Internet Search on "video of TV news reporting exactly the same thing every time".)

This is done very easily by reporting news with omission to have listeners believe something that is not true.  The other tactic was also eloquently stated by Joseph Goebbels:

"Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth."

Another well-known quote is by Winston Churchill, that demonstrated the use of lies in most likely too much in history:

"History is written by the victors."
