IS IT PROFITEER OR NEWS WORTHY

After Covid ended, I came home from a trip

to New York and New Jersey and found  

a pile of newspapers and mail.  When I opened 

the May 2nd Edition of The New York Times,

I was surprised to find Tucker Carlson and 

pictures of the FOX NEWS channel 

featured on the front page.  The article, written 

by Nicholas Confessore, is an expose of 

how easily Propaganda can influence people.

Though Tucker Carlson was the main focus of the story,

I was more intrigued by the names of Roger  Ailes

and Rupert Murdoch listed as owners of the FOX NEWS CHANNEL. 

Roger Ailes and Rupert Murdoch are men 

known for being destructive and even profiteers 

during great national strife.   Anchors, writers and producers 

are listed and give their alliance to the station and their bosses.

Asked about how he could miss lead the public about

Covid-19 and other issues around the January

2020 Elections.  Tucker replied, "Viewers are so

compelled to think, what is this? And yet for that

very reason.  It is so absurd.  Propaganda tends to

be effective because it is so ridiculous, so absurd."

For me, Mr. Carlson's words were especially 

unsettling.  

As President Biden works to reinstate Institutions and 

Policies destroyed by the propaganda of previous administrations,

for those who remember well what propaganda did, and can do,

it is time we get behind leaders like President Biden and 

Volodymyr Zelensky with all the support we can offer.
