Most innocuous 'Major News Story' in History?

 



Just watched the ITV  News Bulletin - Headline Story is Fake News about the Ukraine, but at least it is a military conflict, then stuff about Biden in Poland, at least he is a President even if he didn't win an Election, then something featuring a Royal, at least he is a monarch's progeny even if he doesn't have anything interesting to say, but then - THE DRUMMER OF THE FOO FIGHTERS HAS DIED!  Not even the guy who is the Lead Guitarist and Singer and who was also the drummer for the much more famous Nirvana.

And of course, this non-story is given the same major prominence across all of Britain's Single Platform MSM outlets. ( https://csarlog.blogspot.com/2022/03/simply-ignored-by-british-msm.html?m=1 )

Are they DELIBERATELY doing this to demonstrate their ridiculous power to impose whatever narrative they want on the entire population, no matter how trivial or major?

It's like the creating of Major Headlines out of someone in the pub saying that Russia might use Chemical Weapons in the Ukraine, that's how much credence and value that latter supposition has.

What I am saying is, is this ubiquitous Taylor Hawkins story deliberately intended as an experiment in seeing how far you can treat the general public as idiots?

In which case, as far as the predominantly British sector of the World's population is concerned,  I could have told them that there was no overarching requirement for such an experiment.

BBC News: 'Taylor Hawkins: Foo Fighters' Drummer dies at 50'

Update - listening to Radio Two - Jo Whiley's 'Happy Shiny Hour' - a totally obscure Three Degrees song is played. Why? Jo Whiley explains 'because it was Taylor Hackford's (whatever his name is) favourite childhood song.

It is NOT April the First - there is NO reason to keep this idiocy going beyond two days ago.

On the compulsory license fee paid National Broadcaster,  no less.

The few who I have tried to engage in conversation about this admit that they never heard of him before, any more than I did (and I used to enjoy even watching Dave Grohl aping about in Foo Fighters videos, which is closer to Hackshaw than 99.5% of the MSM News consumers ever got) yet they still insist that it is a tragic death and must be important for some reason or another.

  Back on 31st March, I put - 'One thing is clear - Zelensky, who has done nothing but urge on a Fight to the Finish, which was always a foregone conclusion, will in time become the most hated man in the Ukraine. Or he would be if he was living in the Ukraine, which he isn't. His reward will be the wealthy retirement abroad which was already arranged for him before the first day of the deliberately provoked Military Operation. And it is a Military Operation, not an Invasion.' https://csarlog.blogspot.com/2022/03/a-word-to-wise-or-even-average-briton.html?m=1 I know I am Preaching to the Choir here, but the average British Civilian needs to know that the Truth is NOT a Moving Target and that on this basis events can fairly be predicted. All that is required is to completely disregard cognitive dissonance. (Which apparrently is nigh on impossible for most) And it only alienates the THICKbrits - er, sorry - 'British Civilians' - further if one constantly refers t

 THICKbrit journalism at its worst - which cannot help but make the THICKbrits who read it even more brain-split and therefore even more manipulable - polite word for THICK - than ever, in true Doublethink-style.  Because the Mail here presents the actual words of the dialogue, the meaning of which is absolutely clear on behalf of both parties :- Tokayev :- ''We don't recognise Taiwan [direct statement that they support Communist China's stance on Taiwan, in direct contradiction to NATO's]   Kosovo, South Ossetia or Abkhazia... we apply this principle to the quasi-state territories, which in our view, are the Luhansk and Donetsk peoples' Republics' [thus refusing to acknowledge the latter two Republics' desire for their own Sovereignty and Independence ] Putin :- "What is the Soviet Union? This is historic Russia." [A direct repudiation of the Totalitarian Socialism of the Cold,War Years] But in a story helpfully headlined 'Prepare to fight

 In the 1980s, when the Warsaw Pact under Russia was intact under Communism, this was how Republican President Ronald Reagan was typically portrayed. Republicans were routinely called 'Hawks' and the Democrats were routinely called 'Doves'. Watching the ITV reportage tonight, the Newscaster managed to 'blame' Donald Trump for the current situation in the very first sentence-off-the-autocue and later on, and the video  clip is included here, ITV's 'Europe Editor' explains that having Democrat Joe Biden as President has meant that this strong re-establishment of the American Presence in Europe has become feasible, but that the Leaders are worried what might happen if a Republican President like Donald Trump was elected in two years time.
