Great Book: "Hate Inc.: Why Today’s Media Makes Us Despise One Another." by Matt Taibbi - CNN, MSNBC, FOX all market their Infotainment by appealing to FEAR in our Primitive Lizard Brain...

Part tirade, part confessional from the celebrated Rolling Stone journalist, Hate Inc. reveals that what most people think of as "the news" is, in fact, a twisted wing of the entertainment business

I saw an Interesting Interview on the Chris Hedges Show on RT... [Russian Television]

TV News reminds me of the "Two Minutes of Hate" in the book 1984 by George Orwell. CNN, FOX and MSNBC all use the same marketing plan... They Shout "Danger - Danger" Compelling us to watch for the Imaginary Saber Tooth Tiger Stalking Us... Triggering a reaction from our primitive Lizard Brain... Now that we have Social Media people may watch the News and then TWEET Their Rage to the World... Ever Notice that Donald Trump starts every day with a Tweetstorm of his reaction to whatever poison FOX news pours into his brain... As many as 60 tweets in a single morning... Most Presidents Use their Mornings to be informed by the "Presidential Daily Brief" prepared by the CIA and other National Security Agencies... Not This Wanker... His Briefing is prepared by his master, Rupert Murcoch...

"The horrible thing about the Two Minutes Hate was not that one was obliged to act a part, but that it was impossible to avoid joining in. Within thirty seconds any pretence was always unnecessary. A hideous ecstasy of fear and vindictiveness, a desire to kill, to torture, to smash faces in with a sledge hammer, seemed to flow through the whole group of people like an electric current, turning one even against one's will into a grimacing, screaming lunatic. And yet the rage that one felt was an abstract, undirected emotion which could be switched from one object to another like the flame of a blowlamp.[1]"
