Substance addiction can be overcome after a long and difficult treatment process. People have the chance to get rid of the substance they are addicted to.
What about media addiction?
Unfortunately, the situation there is much worse.
Because the addiction in the media today is not to a substance, but to money.
Whoever makes the money, the media is connected to them.
After a while, addiction turns into slavery.
The system is simple but extremely dirty:
Someone in politics buys a TV channel, a newspaper, a radio station from the background.
His name is never seen. It's like a shadow.
The boss puts a person in the boss's chair who is fully dependent and biased.
Then it goes up the chain:
Dependent general manager...
Addicted news director...
Addicted screen faces
And, of course, the dependent reporters who “turn the tide”...
Even the cameraman now knows what not to shoot.
That's a hit squad for you.
This time the shadow boss starts hiring pens through the so-called boss.
Journalists, writers and illustrators are given columns.
They are handed a pen.
Whoever is more trigger-happy, his/her salary and position will rise.
The one who does it best is the most profitable.
Then these people are shamelessly marketed as “independent journalists”.
By whom?
By other addicts!
Sometimes you see them on a television screen, sometimes in a column.
Wallets swell, bank accounts swell.
Houses, cars, lives change...
As long as the triggering is done well.
The source of money does not change: Politics.
But this dirty system works under the name of “media” as a perception apparatus that designs society.
Impartiality is impossible in this slave system.
You are both dependent on whoever is pushing the money, and you are on their side.
When you look at who works for which channel, which newspaper, it is already clear whose slave they are.
Ask someone, for example: “Who is this?”
The answer is obvious: “Oh that, that's Erdogan's...”
“No, that's Özgür's...”
“Abi, he's Ekrem's hitman...”
In this way, not only the person but also the financial source behind him/her is revealed.
The more the sycophancy, the more the money...
The more money, the more sycophancy...
From journalists to TV journalists, writers to reporters, this is the point we have reached.
And unfortunately the picture is deplorable.
Today, the media is a wreck.
What remains under the rubble is the public's right to information.
It is no longer enough to try to repair this broken mill.
It is necessary to build an independent, clean new mill with no spindle.
And this dirty media system, which murdered people just for “practicing journalism”
It compels us to remember the Uğur Mumcus again.
Good luck to those brave people...
With respect in front of their memories...
CURRENT NOTE:
Yesterday we learned that Yılmaz Özdil has been placed at the top of the Sözcü Media Group.
His harsh outbursts and harsh statements against Özgür Özel are well known.
Was this appointment really the result of a “journalistic success”?
Or do they want to retain the perception apparatus to manage society even from within?
The remarkable thing is this:
If Yılmaz Özdil is given this seat despite Özgür Özel, doesn't this situation clearly reveal the power struggle between Ekrem and Özgür?
Even with Ekrem inside, is he still stronger?
Who is the main actor running the party behind the scenes?
Obviously, the sentence for Yılmaz Özdil will now be: “Oh, him? That thing... Ekrem...”
Really...
Do you really think this is the picture?
