Gutter Press

Gutter Press

By Max Bradley.


As the world reels from crisis to crisis I am more dismayed than ever about the lack of freedom of reporting and biased media coverage. It’s kind of like a universal language spoken by the media. They are all trained in one mindset that a very gullible public will lap up what they say as truth. It doesn’t have to be true or verified, anything that shocks will be given the hard sell as gospel truth. The more outrageous the story the better the ratings is their motto. So the more spin and fabrication they can weave around it is the name of the game. The public are not aware that they have an opinion on the subject, it is either good or bad and if you think different there is something wrong with you. Independent thinking by the public is discouraged to such a degree that you could be forgiven for thinking you were in a dictatorship. Anyone showing differing views and ideals are portrayed as crackpots and held up for public ridicule and spite egged on by the malicious media. This is supposed to be used as a deterrent to other enlightened persons wishing to pursue some world truths. But only encourages those same persons that there must be something dreadfully wrong for such energy to be wasted on apparently crazy people.
In New Zealand some trashy tabloid rag that stoops to gather muck to sell thought it had a scoop on so called NSM chapters in New Zealand. It was sloppy journalism filled with inaccuracies and sold to the public as truth. The paper in fact needs to print a full-page apology for being complete idiots. A news item then picked up the story going for the throat bringing out footage of Adolph Hitler in full glory. Again no substance and you have to wonder what it all meant. Did jews in New Zealand have to start fleeing for their lives the next day or did we all need some counselling to get over it. What was the point and do we care. This is a political party started up to promote the interests of white people, nothing to get hot about but because of the way it was portrayed people react negatively. The first Maori political party was ok and warmly welcomed by everyone black or white but that was because of the positive media reaction. Fortunately not everyone is that dumb and sometimes the media can trip on itself when it thinks it’s being clever. As the saying goes there’s no such thing as bad publicity and it only takes a few brave souls to act as real examples of freedom of speech to liberate the masses. Choke on that gutter press.
