How does our local media work?

By Marica Micallef

The largest encyclopedia on earth won’t suffice when it comes to writing about the hypocritical local media, saturated with filth, wokeism, liberalism, and propaganda.

Malcolm X had stated that “The media’s the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent” and “If you’re not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”

The dangerous part of the media is that it has and was given the power to influence minds, ideas, behaviors, and attitudes of the masses. Who is paying the local media to fuel the narratives, agendas and propaganda? How much funds is the local media receiving? How is the local media infiltrated and controlled to push forth the agenda? How is the local media told what and how to write?

Our local media is just another propaganda machine of the establishment. It makes you think that it is against or in favour of a party but then enjoys going round the revolving door, depending on the agenda being fuelled. A case in point is that of Andrea Prudente where we have seen how all the media portals have turned into a vocal outlet for the government’s agenda to introduce the baby killing monstrosity. What’s worse, is how they put it out there to the public by using subtle, manipulative tactics. When it comes to the Cutajar/Camilleri saga, they suddenly threw balls of fire towards Cutajar.

Our local media gives you fake news based on lies and falsehood and it gives you distorted information so to wire your brains for that agenda. Surely, truth is always the one to suffer with the “pens” of our local media.

I hate how it manages to divide the nation and to fuel hatred and spite, keeping the nation lost without any direction and biased in a dysfunctional, chaotic, dismembering metamorphosis. They come up with conjured articles and distracting cliches so to prevent the people from noticing the deception that is right in front of them. It’s a formalized system that the powerful and their henchmen implement and uphold, and which then, the local media fuels to the nation. No party and no media have any respect whatsoever for anyone. The media has turned itself (or was turned) into nothing more than an unuseful fiction while concealing who the powerful and the henchmen are behind a wall of division and distraction so that few people can see them.

A famous quote from George Orwell’s 1984 is that “Power is in tearing human minds to pieces and putting them together again in new shapes of your own choosing.” This is what the local media does to the Maltese public, who, unfortunately, is being easily led, divided by its pens of hatred, spite and lies. The masses believe what the media tells them, and the media knows this.

Our local media is also hypocritical. One of the million case in point is when it labelled the hand microchipping as another conspiracy theory, only to then turn it into a conspiracy reality and start promoting it.
