I was told to be there at 615am. So that's when I arrived. I wasn't on until 630am. I sat and watched. The cameras were robotic... there was only a sound andcamerabot guy, the anchor, and the weather guy. Pleasant people. All business... it was a morning program and they had the patterns/routines down to a science.
As I watched live tv originate in front of my eyes, all I could think was how efficiently the soundbytes were orchestrated and being delivered. The anchor read the screen script. She had no opinion. She was a talking head.
Who wrote the script? Who chose the stories? Not her. She just presented them.
Here's the thing... when she started talking about the state hospital adminstrators preparing to deliver a summary later today about covid's impact on hospitals, I perked up. I watched fake news be spewed, live. It did not surprise me that she just rattled through the bullet points and then was on to the next story.
And then I realized... she as the presenter believes what she is presenting... or rather, the thought never crosses her mind that the content of her script is disinfo. And that'swhat makes it so believable to the masses.
I guess I am just saying that I witnessed the machine in action. And, it's a very well-oiled machine. We must continue without pause our guerrilla -info-warfare campaign! Meme-on, Patriots!
We've all seen the sinclair(?) network of local stations all doing the same bit to camera, all reading the same script with their own brand of earnest tonality. So we know the scripts can and do (often) come from a central source.
We need to hack that source, man in the middle the script delivery or something and have them read tweaked scripts that wake up the normies. Ethical hackers - go to it.
If I had those skills... Lets Go Brandon... haha
Actually, the thought did cross my mind to say that--but I was there representing a good organization and didn't want to risk any negative perception about them. If I'm ever interviewed just for me, about me... for sure I will slip that in there.
