Television is a whore, it only reports what the pimps of television wants to report and nothing else. Television is EvilCorp and I am one of few that categorically has been selective about who I work for.
CNN is just one of many I have turned down during my 15 years working professionally in the industry of film, television and radio. I have worked at the highest level behind the camera and even as a lowlife in front of the camera to fill in where it has been needed. I am here today to tell you what Mass-Media is all about. Read On!
This #steemit post is written to tell your the truth about the propaganda that hits everyone every day!
My name is @fyrstikken - I am here to tell you the truth!
When I was a little innocent and beautiful child, I noticed the television with a man inside informing my mum and dad about what was going on in the world. As a small child I was wondering, how did that man get inside the TV, so when my parents were sleeping, I snook up to check it out, and accidentally pushed the television to the floor and my mother came into the living-room as she heard the noise.
- What have you done Fyrstikken!?! she said
- I wanted to know how the man could fit inside this little box! - was my reply. I must have been three years old.
I got my first few television gigs when I was around 12, local television - then when I was in my late teens I wrote pranks and media-stunts for celebrities, so that they would get headlines and tv-time and I made a lot of money doing that, creating scenarios that a celebrity would do to get into a so called "scandal" which would boost their celebrity-status a whole lot and make not only national headlines, but also international headlines.
Evil-Corp is Television & Their Evangelists are the people who believe in the knowledge from Television not even knowing they believe in lies.
But there was something wrong about everything I noticed - and after a while working inside all kinds of studios, getting to know who is who in front and behind the camera, there was this feeling hanging over me, a feeling that is the most true feeling I have ever felt - In television - you do what you are commanded to do, you do not do anything creative, you do not go against the producers, the bosses - the will of the network owners, and I didn't. I remained loyal, until one day I realized what I was part of and my consciousness caught me and told me - enough is enough.
On Television, appearance is everything, so hair and make-up is part of the day-to-day life if you want to be in front of the camera. If you however work behind the camera, in the most lucrative part of the branch that is production and prank-writing, your job - your day-job if I might add - is to come up with ideas to fool people, to lie to people and to delude people from the truth by highlighting stupidity in order to create a world of humans, hypnotized to do what the mass-media tells them to do.
As Television-people, we have access everywhere, what you pay thousands of dollars to attend, we get paid to attend - backstage areas are for the industry-people, not for the "plebs", and we are all working against the plebs when we do what our television bosses or newspaper bosses tell us to report or make a documentary or a movie about.

Television, Radio & The largest Newspapers, Magazines and Cinema are all shows and writings created for the masses. Including Mr. Robot, Star Wars, Star Trek, CNN, MSNBC, DISNEY... VOGUE, PEOPLE.... NY TIMES, GOOGLE, FACEBOOK - YOUR OWN OPINION and the opinions of your friends - they are mostly make-beliefs, not facts - peoples brains are easily corrupted by misinformation, and I used to get paid for it - I just couldn't do it anymore. It is immoral.
How I was noticed & hired by mass media
When I was 19 years old, I did a big prank. I printed 25 brochures which I distributed on a high-school, proclaiming that at 12:00 NOON the grocery store close to the school would give away everything you could carry until 12:05pm - a five minute window to basically "rob the store".
It did not take long until about 600 kids came to the store, and I was standing in front of the door counting down 3, 2, 1 - GO! so you can imagine what happen - at 12:05pm the store was emptied for all the candy, all the cigarettes, and a number of other items while the store staff was lunching in their staff-room.
That is how easy it was to make a whole school believe in a lie - and when the local media found out who was orchestrating it, I was called to work for them - and they offered me a handsome pay to create ideas for stunt-reports and news-pranks which gave me a great income at a young age, and a big foot in the door for larger productions later in life.
and the "plebs" evangelize the lies because they believe they are true!
Will Steemit make a change?
Television is extremely powerful, and it has had monopoly of information - or should I say disinformation since the man landed on the moon, and everybody witnessed it - on the television and radio, so will steemit make a difference? I doubt it.
Steemit is a great platform for social media, but until the people of the world, which includes the people of steemit as well realize the lies of the television - steemit aces will just keep pushing the same old political television-correctness they have been educated and grown up with.
If people would shut off the television and start reading the forbidden books - the knowledge that is frown upon by the media and the masses as knowledge that is rubbish - they will not get a step closer to the truth what so ever.
True Truth and True Knowledge is not presented on Television or heard on radio - even written about in newspapers. If you want to know how the world looks like, how the powers of the world really work - you have to be willing to sacrifice a lot of pride which you currently believe is the truth.
Nobody voted for the people on Television to indoctrinate you - but they did it anyway
Let us not fool the children anymore, let us rebel against the evil-corp and give freedom of knowledge a real chance!
We landed on the moon right? I saw that on the television after all.

Yes we did land on the moon and we have a hell of a lot more evidence than just the broadcast. For instance, there's the laser reflector we left up there to get distance measurements.
There's also the little fact that if you have a good enough telescope you can literally look at the moon and see the landers for the individual missions.
Please do not let a healthy skepticism of media information turn you into a raving conspiracy nut.

An old picture, taken with old film, with obvious gradients in slope and ground texture? Plus, the astronaut shadow doesn't seem to extend on the downward slope like the other long shadow. Plus it appears too dark as if no ambient light is touching any ground mass where the shadow is cast.
Your picture looks photoshopped to me. =P
EDIT : Based on that downward slope alone, that astronaut looks like he would be 20ft tall

The mythbusters is simply a good video explaining what it is. I'd get into the mechanics of using lasing as a system of measuring distance but I frankly don't think you'd understand it
First point: Those shadows DON'T intersect.
Second point: Thats an edited image. Here is the full image
The reason why the shadows appear to have two different light sources is because the image is a panoramic image produced by rotating the camera and stitching several images together. Most phones have the same capability in their camera modes, and a quick search of the internet can show you what the result of these things can be when you have movement.
http://metro.co.uk/2015/06/04/19-panoramic-picture-fails-thatll-give-you-nightmares-5227256/
The reason the shadows look like they are coming from two different light sources is because the images that constitute the panorama are taken by a camera pointing at different angles for each.
Third point: I STILL HAVE LITERAL PICTURES OF THE LANDERS ON THE SURFACE OF THE PLANET. YOU CAN GO GET A GOOD TELESCOPE AND LITERALLY LOOK FOR YOURSELF. HOLY SHIT.

find other close views across moon. the domes in so many craters on the cusp of front and back of moon. You can view the story going on still until these days. How long have the latest control factors been controlling us and how advanced the means. My father would still be working with an agency I know nothing of and that has had passports signed over 17000 times and made him cold umntil lately and we are finally getting to know one another. He would only share one thing with my mom and I and that was to never watch TV. He did things that left us wealthy in a big home without tv. I started toyimg with computers at age 9, 25 years ago and I would get the best of all equipment as it came. My father is a very admiral man and if I covince him to go on record and chronicle only the things undermining our nation in detail I imagine all the disinfo online and lies on tv would finally be crystal clear to most.
And stop believing the election fake hype. Alex Jones, now a Trump supporter, is so because he has always been one to make truth sound ridiculous and it would only ever be partial truth. Trump and Hilary are in reality good friends. STILL, currently. America do not trust the news any longer. If there is a hell all , but approximately 4 of our past presidents that are listed after George Washington. DO all you must to keep your family and yourself far away from fear and unite the more fake shootings like Sandy Hook or the gay club fiasco.And all races realize police have been possibly placed to kill unarmed civilians, but the destructive nature towards this last, fading beacon of liberty must awaken each other and educate ourselves. There are same amount of blacks and whites approximately killed nationwide, but they show the black great men only their young ones killed. Black people have a deep good nature they are born with and read books to see how many presidents worked to corner them, make an industry of cages and try to turn thhhat joyful heart towards hate with music as the true meaning of THUG LIFE VIA 2PAC meant. Unite and never forget the civil war where people of all race fought gor freedom of another and in the end all parties realized how ridiculous it was and all lost someone; all because people think skin pigment makes us different? ALL LIVES MATTER! Beware if you continue watching tv over next few months.

Ten years ago I thought that TV would become obsolete right now. This never happened.
People do not want to choose between different points of view. They need only one. Internet forces them to make choice every time. The same people in real life are quite reasonable, they take economical and social decisions every minute. It's hard work. So they find comfort in TV. CNN is a great manipulator, very professional.

Great read! Welcome to Steemit! You are just that kind of guy which Steemit need. I don't really watch television anymore basicly only some interesting documentaries and sports. Unfortunately most people don't know that they're being lied and when you tell them it they think you are idiot. It's hard to change people's perspectives and ideas about certain stuff. Hopefully in Steemit we see more truth and get more people to find the truth and questioning what they see & read.

Personally, I won't say I didn't see television for 10 years. But have to admit that I rarely see television nowadays.
You know what, in my country there are political channels flaming each others and broadcast distorted news. The crazy part is people on both sides believe in what their preferred media said. That now cause deep conflict in my country. Example for the global scale may like CNN and Al-Jazeera.
Back to your post, I think we still lucky enough that we live in time that there are many other ways to received information from the world not only the television and in the future television may not the main media anymore. Steemit is one of the way tho. ;)

Television has been called the idiot box for a long time for good reason and the masses using it for their only source for news is not a good thing. The producers of the news shows have a massive power of influence.
The dawn of the Internet has allowed for the citizen journalist to bring forth his or her opinion to the masses. Think of The Drudge Report, probably the most powerful non corporate news curation source in the US. There are of course many others.
With the promises of new technologies come new problems. The old adage, you can't believe everything you read, is more true than ever on the Internet. Unfortunately many people accept what people say as gospel if it is posted on the Internet. You see it here on Steemit, alt news sites, and many other places.
Corporate News did not give up in the age of the Internet as well. Most Internet citizens get the majority of their news curated from places like Facebook, Yahoo Bing and Google news which directs them to places like the Washington Post, CNN, Forbes, ABC, CBS and NBC news just to name a few.
The simple truth is most people are like cows feeding at the trough when it comes to news and information. They just accept what is given to them.

I clicked on the post, read it, enjoyed it, but the comments are far more entertaining (which I'm sure is the whole point). There is definitely propaganda out there in the media. Look no further than MSNBC, Fox News, and news outlets from other countries like RT. A decent teacher or two in your education should have been enough to enlighten you to this fact. Hasn't everyone learned critical thinking skills? News is entertainment, many times with a certain spin, but that doesn't mean we need to all wear tin foil hats. I know information can be manipulated, statistics can be skewed to look how you want, but this "internet is amazing, TV is evil" garbage is absurd. There is a lot, and I mean a lot, of disinformation on the internet. There is also a lot of honest, important news stories to hear on TV, radio, etc. Maybe it is hard for some to distinguish, but I'll give you some good advice that I heard long ago. Don't believe anything you hear, and only half of what you see. Be skeptical, but think for yourself. There are two sides to every story. Don't lose your rational thought.

At the beginning of the story, you said you pulled a prank that ended, by the way in STEALING from a store.. from a family run joint that then had to pay out of their own pocket for the thievery that you thought was funny.
I don't buy it man.. If you started out doing something immoral and then was hired to continue in that immorality, how did you grow a moral backbone and get a prickly conscious enough to see what you were doing was wrong?

Hello there and welcome to Steemit !! So pleased to read your post, good that someone from inside the Hive of Evil admits this !! I have been posting quite alot of articles on certain issues which i find important here concerning world politics truth !! But with little success i have to say, I think Truth for many is a hard pill to swallow and people are just happy to be numbed to sleep by the Mk Ultra stream feed called Television news !! I am happy that someone has raised the flag of truth here on Steemit more efficiently than me and i hope this post might incite others to do the same !! Welcome again, here is my minnow upvote !! ; - )

See this is why I don't even have cable.. just internet.
My kids watch informational shows, and play like Minecraft.
They seem to learn more by creating and being interactive :D

Some say this is fake.
But what if it is true that in some country media is being controlled by the government?
What if they can only televise it if it is good for the government and if not it should be erased?

the media is totally controlled by the state, but ofcourse !! Have you not seen how the television was used during 911 with repetitive images and dialogues which beat us into submission and belief of a terrorist named Ben Laden and his band of merry men that attacked America on that day !! So it turns out he worked for the CIA anyway, but no one cared when we invaded Iraq and killed Saddam Hussein, who actually had nothing to do with the afore mentioned government produced lie of 911, actually the truth was more that they did it themselves !! They said afterwards we should never forget 911, but looks like to me everybody did sadly !!

Thanks for your honesty @fyrstikken - I actually wrote a post 15 hours ago addressing what you are talking about from a censorship perspective while still backing up your statements with resources from the scientific community as well.

Personally I have a more optimistic view than you have as to the potential for change that Steemit has or will trigger. May the blockchain be with you ;-)

TV media controlled by corporation (ie the free press) will always have a slanted view and agenda. Hopefully we can make a difference as a community.
