RE: Trumps Speech on Charlottesville judged on his Skin?

They say he is a Nazi: https://www.google.com/search?q=James+Alex+Fields+Jr+nazi&oq=James+Alex+Fields+Jr+nazi&aqs=chrome..69i57.2521j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

If you try and process a faked event as though it were real, you are liable to make errors. Driver was an actor. Crowd were actors. Injured are Crisis Actors. It's a faked media event. Without faked media events the 24 hour a day news cycle would soon grind down to nothing. There simply aren't enough crimes to support all those news channels.

News happens, but it doesn't happen often enough to keep all those expensive tele-journalists in sport coupes. News also doesn't happen on a efficient production schedule, nor does it dovetail with elections and momentous policy decisions. In short, real news is inconvenient to produce and is often off topic. Real victims don't say the right things. Real deaths are traumatic and deeply affect everyone involved.

Fake news can be created as needed, can be scripted to punch a point, can be part of a larger campaign of faked news, and the crisis actors will say whatever you pay them to say. Clearly real plots happen. Men and equipment need to be relocated from point A to point B, troublesome characters need to be whacked, and regimes need to be destabilized. However, these things are rare enough or covert enough that they in themselves cannot fill up a 24 hour new cycle.

The 24 hour news cycle mandates the continuous generation of fake news. Without a strict production schedule of on-point, dramatic news stories the entire industry will waste away, as it was on the verge of only a couple of decades ago. Nowadays 24-hour-a-day news is a big money maker, and it would not be anything like this if the dozens of networks simply sat around and waited for news to happen. A slow week would shutter their doors permanently.

Fake news is not going to go away. With the proliferation of news outlets brought on by the replacement of TV with the Internet, the 24 hour news cycle is going to have to speed up even more. I suspect there is no limit to the inventiveness and imaginations of the authors of these fake events, and I know there is no limit to the duplicity and fraud of government agencies. However, I do hope that there is a limit to the dishonor and greed that is exhibited by these attention-loving crisis actors.
