Why is
it…
that seemingly intelligent people get
caught-up, believe in, allow themselves to be influenced, spread the word, make
decisions, judge character, based on the amazing hyperbole of media ten-second
news bytes that are obviously skewed to increase regurgitation of the same shit
at a later hour, hoping to go ‘viral’, and increase advertising revenue?
Do you not SEE a pattern of deception in the
reporting?
Recent
Case In Point: Paula Dean.
Poor Paula. I won’t
go into the right or wrong, the did she or didn’t she, the does she or doesn’t
she of the situation, but I will point out that many respectable news outlets
and their writers (I’m loathe to say journalists) have been suggesting that her
diabetes announcement (January 2012) was scheduled to coincide with her son’s
healthy lifestyle cookbook and a lucrative contract to represent a diabetic
drug, as being evidence of her being a calculating liar.
Duh.
Of course it was.
Scheduled, that is.
That’s what ‘brands’ do- they hopscotch over their own
developments.
It’s called Pelican
Publicity Poop (at least that’s what I call it- brands serve it up, news
outlets pick it up, media flies with it, crap comes out all over your just
washed mini-van, and everyone eats it up because they can’t tell the difference
between Pelican Poop and the cheetos that are carpeting their back seats from
the little darlings that think neon orange is a food group color).
But I digress.
What I didn’t hear, from anyone, was the oddly timed (by
several months) Angelina Joile announcement of her elective double mastectomy
with the same day newsstand cover of Brad Pitt on Vanity Fair and within a week of his new movie
opening at a theatre near you.
But I guess that was
just…
coincidence.
