Blinded by the Shite – a Tory voter archetype, General Election @ June 2017

” It was The Sun wot just and so won it”.. with its sewer “journalism” for May, certainly not May herself.
Dyed-in-the-wool working class Tory voter’s blind acceptance of The Sun “newspaper’s” despicabe fictional headlines against Jeremy Corbyn in the run up to the recent general election most likely tipped the result in favor of the truly dreadful May.

MENTAL HEALTH WARNING; Don’t look into The Sun, it’ll blind your perception of reality

( Created in the spirit of The Sun’s habitual – now tiresome – play on puns and double endendres within their story headlines, a hallmark of the paper since 1989 / 90, mimicking content from a poetry book titled Life Sentences sent to their office at that time )

Blackout Blinds

Perhaps a new angle on the term ‘News Blackout’.
Social commentary Work on how personal worlds are becoming ever-more colored and darkened when looking out from the inside – blinded to the light – by habitual daily mainstream media news consumption from biased and agenda-ridden reporting in the hard press.
The reverse applies looking in from the outside, the masses blinded to the real world and instead ever more rooted in their opinions the more newspaper & magazine “Infotainment” grabs hold, holds sway, as their reality.

The antidote, thankfully, is to hand in the form of the internet and social media, where the full spectrum of opinion is more or less freely expressed and the individual has a vast pool of information from which to form an educated individual opinion.. and cast his / her vote from a much more enlightend stance

When vicious and vitriolic propaganda worthy of 1930s Nazi Germany attempts to pass for fair and balanced journalism, you know someone in a position of power – and of dubious morals to fabricate such tripe as headline news – is feeling worried..
