About the venal and natural dependence of mass media. Remark

Who is guilty that already almost a quarter of the century we try to assemble the new mechanism from the old details because we have no new details and never had them?

(E.V. matter of substance)

What you will read now, you know perfectly. Very often, having found in the press (on TV, on the Internet) this or that information, you estimate it from the point of view of the emotions …

Not so long ago on one of the Ukrainian sites I tried to argue whose mass media are more truthful. Why tried? Because I argued with one of the fanatics of the Ukrainian fascizm. As you understand, it is useless to argue with the fanatic — you say him a word, he answers you ten words and nine of them will be abuse. And it was a question of mass media of Russia and Ukraine. He even provided me data of a rating of the free press in the world of the 2014th year (http://gtmarket.ru/news/2014/05/02/6770) in which Russia was already on the 176th «honourable» place in the section of not free press. But Ukraine occupied the 140th place! However, he forgot to pay attention that the section was the same — not free mass media. And certainly, a rating published on the eve of the World day of freedom of the press celebrated on May 3, at the beginning of civil war in Ukraine.

However, it isn’t important when this ill-fated rating was published. All the same I proved nothing to the opponent for obvious reasons. And rating … The rating was prepared by, the so-called, independent American Freedom House organization that already speaks as far as there can be objective results of such rating. The rating is divided as though into three categories: free mass media, partially free and not free. Certainly, all western countries and as the USA appeared in the first category of the list, as well as practically all east — in the last. Speaking to the word, my Belarus as most «dear» the West, appeared on the fifth place from the end from 197 countries that, actually was necessary to expect.

But, having considering the venality of the western mass media and natural dependence of east one, having reading the ill-matched press, watching TV of the different countries, I came to a conclusion long ago that it is impossible and even it is dangerous blindly to trust news of any edition even carrying itself to independent, by no means, risking to appear once under fragments of the failed hopes. :)

Now let’s talk about the main thing. In the last paragraph I have to specify something. About venality of the western mass media, I think, all are well read, and here the dependence of east mass media I called as natural. Why, now I will try to explain.

We, the countries of the former USSR, once rather mighty state, got used to confidence in the tomorrow, standing on the own two feet, suddenly, it is unexpected for itself, appeared with a chipped washing-tub. Already it is not important who was guilty in it. It is important that we had to build the new states from scratch. The ordinary Soviet generation was in confusion. After all, once that was considered as serious crime, became the norm. For example, that was considered as speculation earlier, is called now as business etc. We began to look at the world in a new way.

Unfortunately the world still looks at us as before. As before, some «democratic» states try to impose us the way of life.

Especially the USA succeeds in it. Yes, the democracy of our states is still far from real therefore also our policy in the majority is totalitarian. Independence is necessary for us. The help would be useful to us from the developed states. Help, instead of dictatorship. We aren’t necessary neither external, nor internal shocks. In such states as ours, existence of opposition is similar to death as the present oppositionists, as a rule, exist on money of the western intelligence services ready on any (material) victims for the sake of achievement of the strategic objective — a complete dependence from the economy.

For this reason the policy of our mass media has to be uniform with policy of the states, in the borders of which they are lucky enough (or misfortune) to be.

And for this reason I called our mass media naturally dependent. NATURALLY!!! And the opposition certainly is necessary, but in the settled state to which revolutions, like Ukrainian aren’t terrible already. Opposition is not the pack of conspirators, but the people loving the country and trying to save it from false steps.

It would be very desirable that in the future we had such opposition and still that wasn’t more such relations between the countries as today Ukraine and America have: — Mother, Vanka is called me bad names.

Well separately about mass media of Ukraine. Against the most foolish war which was seen ever by Europe, wars with themselves, the Ukrainian mass media now, more than ever, have to do everything to clear the crimes of the Ukrainian junta and as much as possible to blacken the enemies. They will write any lie about war and will believe in it, especially, when it is inspired by the mythical credits of the western countries. Another can’t be — it is necessary to support sick consciousness of the public, to support confidence of the people that the government works in its interests, differently the fate of Ukraine will be predetermined.

Well what I wanted to tell … Ah! Guys, before trusting any promotion and news, use the logic. Think to whom it is favourable, and the main thing, how truthful that information fallen down on you and then already safely share it with adherents or use, as argument in dispute with the opponent.

Thanks for attention!
