Romney’s campaign ran strong until the end, when voters pushed him over the edge and into a landslide win that shocked the Obama team and raised cheers that could be heard around the world.
Okay, so it’s not true. I just thought I’d see how it feels to throw something out and pretend I was reporting on facts, even though it really isn’t a fact and ought to be obviously so before anyone begins reading. Of course, those who are doing that type of “journalism – not” on a frequent basis, may think their opinions are facts, because they are living in a delusional pit of illusions, as they listen to the fibber snitches from the political and governmental voice of their ideological choice.
Do these “journalists – not” think that whatever they say will suddenly become reality once they put it into words and others read it? (Magic?)
Do these “journalists – not” think that whatever they say will suddenly be believed by the readers and then, because it is believed, become true? (Self-prophecy?)
Do these “journalists – not” believe their own propaganda because the talking points say the non-facts are actually the facts? (Dumbed Down Puppets?)
Whatever it is that the “journalists – not” think, or don’t think, reading their opinions and hopes written as fact is an insult to the reader and to every TRUE JOURNALIST that ever put pen to paper (fingers to keyboard) with integrity and honesty in spite of personal opinion or wishes. It is an insult. It is a game. It is pure deception.
The game of “let’s pretend” belongs in the realm of childhood, not in adulthood where there is true danger in not facing reality and instead dealing in fantasy and wishful thinking. Not everyone plays harmless games. Some play for keeps.
There is no ideal world. There is no such thing as absolute, except for death. No such thing as absolute tolerance or equality. There will always be those who are not tolerated by the “tolerant.” There will always be those who rose to power that then do not see others as their equal. Now that they are in power, they will always be more equal than others. They will always be the intellectual superior that knows better for all people, while no one knows better for they. They will be the future “1984” characters that lived in the fantasy world based upon the “journalists-not” tales of facts that weren’t really facts and so-called non-facts that really were facts. It will be a world where fiction “is” and no one will ever be sure what is truth and what is not.
It’s already begun. The headlines tell us so.
