Non-Information: The New Media Propaganda
Michael Savage
October 19, 1999 First there was disinformation, then there was misinformation.
Now the newest technique of the left-wing media is "non-information." Case in
point, a Filipino immigrant goes berserk in the San Francisco Bay Area. He
takes out his handgun, goes upstairs, and shoots two neighbors. The media then
blames his depressed state of mind. He was plagued by depression, they say. His
drugs weren't having the right effect. Because he was a person of color they
didn't emphasize the gun or his race, as they would have if he had blue eyes
and blond hair, but his emotions that were supposedly outside his control. So
instead of a "hate crime" the media spun it as the involuntary act of someone
who wasn't receiving proper drug therapy. They didn't blame the murders on his
doctor for not prescribing the right antidepressant, but their meaning is
clear: He was the victim of neglect by a discriminatory establishment that is
unconcerned with the needs of "minorities."
Another technique of the new media propaganda is the trick of photo
enhancement. Take, for example, Gov. "Red" Davis of California, one of the
least attractive public figures in modern history. His photos are digitally
enhanced, courtesy of friends in Hollywood, to make him look like a leading
man. But during the prior Wilson administration, they dug up the worst possible
picture of Gov. Wilson, taken after he had come back from a long bout with the
flu. And they ran this picture, never changing it, for about eight years,
making him look sick and meek the entire time. In reality, though, if you've
ever seen the real Pete Wilson, he's a healthy, energetic-looking man �
something you can't say about Davis. Remember, today there is more to a photo
than meets the eye.
Another case in point, at midnight on Saturday Gov. Davis passed a heroin-
needle exchange bill, bowing to pressure from the radical homosexual lobby. But
Monday morning the newspapers reported that he passed a touchy-feely nurses
bill while they ignored the needle-exchange bill altogether. Yet Davis had run
on a platform of centrism, claiming that he would not approve needle-exchange
legislation because it would send the wrong message to our children.
Apparently, the media feels we have no right to know about the governor's
hypocrisy, not to mention many other unpleasant facts about Mr. Davis and his
past as chief of staff for ex-Gov. Jerry "Moonbeam" Brown.
The Nuclear Test-Ban Treaty was rightly defeated by the Republican-controlled
Senate. Yet the leftist media made them look like warmongers. This just two
weeks after Communist China celebrated 50 years of tyranny with a massive show
of military might in a parade of weapons (nukes, too!) not seen since the
heyday of the Soviets in Red Square.
