CNBC / TESLA
I'd like to see CNBC hire better-educated personnel to do their reporting. Get rid of the blinders, which limit the spectrum of conversation to such a myopic scale that, the viewer loses all connection to the broader picture.
Shame.
Here's an organization which hires a meteorologist to fly to the Arctic to report on the dire conditions of indigenous peoples, with respect to climate change, then within two weeks, he's back in New York City, at the wheel of a Ford Mustang, drifting around a parking lot with a carload of station associates, attempting to burn the tires off the car. All big smiles and excitement!

Taint the fault of the talking heads, it be the writers and moreso the producers that determine the drivel you consume. Fox news is a prime example. Actual reporters that are on the news died with Walter Cronkite and Dave Brinkley although the guy on the daily show that interviews the Trumpians.......

They call that taking the red pill. Once you are free there are channels around the Dominant Paradigm.

The Incredibly Weird Story Of What's The Frequency, Kenneth?
https://fantasymerchant.com › 2020 › 04 › 02 › the-incredibly-weird-story-of-whats-the-frequency-kenneth
On the night of October 4, 1986, CBS anchorman Dan Rather was on his way back to his apartment when he was stopped on Park Avenue South by two well-dressed men. One man asked Rather, "What's the frequency, Kenneth?" Then Rather was knocked to the ground and repeatedly punched and kicked, as the question was asked over and over again.

When there were only 3 TV channels, news could report the news because there was nothing else people could distract themselves with. If the news wasn't something people wanted to hear, there wasn't much risk of losing eyeballs to view their advertising.
Now that "news" is monetized by clicks, and people have a billion ways in which to distract themselves and the accompanying short attention span, it can hardly contain facts because people aren't interested in them. It must be sensational. We can't call Ivermectin a prescription medication, it has to be horse pills so the story can be sensational.

In case you didn't know the Dan Rather story, he was being accused of having an accomplice wear a wire in a Project Veritas-type sting.

Aha. It didn't seem to make much sense as a punch line, though that did not stop the men from doing so.

Oh man my panels are dirty. I assumed the last thunderstorm with pea size hail cleaned them off. Nope better fire up the pressure washer and blast them off.
With the solar panels there is no more "putting the pressure washer away for the winter".

People are actually willing to see the truth, and that's why so many are mad at mainstream media outlets. No wonder nowadays some media outlets join each other for left-checking.. err.. so-called "fact-checking" in attempt to discredit whatever source of information who is detrimental to their brainwashing business.

Even now, the so-called news is still making references to the "Fine People Hoax" and the "Drink Bleach Hoax", so the impetus to find truth is still not there. Easier to manufacture facts.

It is or was a free country if you want to drink bleach go for it. If you want to poison your spouse with a massive dose of hydroxychloroquine phosphate and kill them and take a tiny dose to make your self sick and think you can out smart the police I say go for it.
