Taken from an article on Paul Craig Roberts website ...
The whoring media take the press releases and read them verbatim. It is incredibly effective. They, the media and the elites have created a living drama. set within a fictional world, where we the virtuous, the decent and the tolerant, are under constant attack from the evildoers. We are told that we are hated for our diversity and for our values. Nobody has ever been able to explain what our “values” are incidentally.
When an incident like yesterdays occurs, the media swings into action. There is no reporting or investigating anywhere to be seen. What we are seeing today is a presentation, pure theatre. Every media outlet in the country has set up at the scene. The anchors act concerned and moved while reminding us constantly of the heroism of the fallen policeman, the bravery of the public, the fortitude of the minister who attempted to save the policeman’s life. All of this is interwoven with clips of the Prime Minister and MP’s saying how wonderful we are, how great our democracy is and how it’ll never be defeated. It’s a script, a screenplay even. It is actually total and utter nonsense. Absent is any serious questioning of the PM, the police chief and senior ministers.
Paul Craig Roberts has had careers in scholarship and academia, journalism, public service, and business. He is chairman of The Institute for Political Economy.
