Anything but the Epstein Files

We are nine months into President Donald J. Trump's second term and yet his most important campaign promise has not been meant. In fact, it has purposely avoided and prevented from releasing by Trump and ninety-nine percent of republicans on the hill. The most infamous child sex trafficker of the modern era who had business associates all over the world. From politicians, bankers, celebrities, the list goes on and on. Yet, our President and the wider government is afraid to release the Epstein list to the point now where the government has been shut down for the first time since 2019, also under Trump. As with any government shut down, the media will be pointing all cameras and microphones at the hill and our politicians for answers. The longer this shutdown drags on the already high civil unrest in this nation will grow even more. Mass shootings and ICE raids have been constantly swarming around the news cycle in recent times, and a shutdown will only amplify these stories. Media never sleeps and it will continue to aim most of its focus on this shut down.

    That’s a really interesting point you brought up. I agree that the media plays a big role in how situations like this are seen by the public. The longer the government stays shut down, the more the media keeps replaying the same images and headlines, which only makes people more frustrated and divided. I also think it shows how much the media can control the focus, instead of talking about why the shutdown is happening or what’s being hidden, they turn it into a political blame game.

    The Epstein list definitely adds another layer to this because people want answers, but it feels like the truth keeps getting delayed or covered up. When that happens, people lose trust not just in the government, but also in the media. I think if both were more transparent, there wouldn’t be as much anger or confusion. Right now, everything just feels like a cycle of distraction, and the media is right in the middle of it.

Google and Israel Strike 45 Million Dollar Propaganda Deal

Image
 In recent weeks it has become evident that the Israeli government has come to an arrangement with Google to push propaganda through their social media platform, YouTube. This deal is a six-month long ploy to dismay reports of the famine and genocide taking place in Gaza and the Palestinians. Recent reports put the death toll of Palestinians in Gaza at 64,000. As Gaza continues to be under siege, Israel continues to demand support from its allies while making plans for a potential victory. Advertisements have already started, painting Israel as a tourist destination, I have been seeing more of these types of ads in the last two weeks on YouTube. My blogs all circle back to the 24/7 news cycle, and YouTube is a huge part of that cycle and can be a powerful tool to steer people to certain content.  As of this year, more than two billion people worldwide use YouTube, putting it only behind Facebook in terms of active users on a social media platform. As the Pro-Israel propaganda ...

The Consequences of Doomscrolling and How to Limit it?

Image
Since the start of the COVID19 pandemic, the act of doomscrolling has become a pressing issue for those with access to a mobile device and social media platforms. Webster's dictionary defines doomscrolling as spending large amounts of time scrolling through news that makes you feel sad or angry. Of course, during the lockdown period of COVID-19 all of us were glued to our phones and social media platforms more than ever before. On top of this, we still had news networks on television providing us with 24/7 coverage. Whether it be the ever-rising death tolls of COVID-19 taking up a portion of the screen to remind viewers of serious threat this virus posed, or the economy tanking and inflation on the climb. All this negativity being pushed out constantly can and will result in people developing health issues. Some examples include insomnia, panic attacks, depression, and anxiety. Clearly, the consequences of doomscrolling are very serious and can be applied to the 24/7 news cycle as ...

On the Precipice of the Epstein Files

Image
Since his death in 2019, Jeffery Epstein has been in the news cycle for all the wrong reasons. His nightmarish acts of child sex trafficking and solicitation of prostitution with a minor are well known. Additionally, his links and friendships with powerful political figures and businessmen like Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, and Prince Andrew. Now, the United State government after gathering and holding onto the Epstein Files since the mid 2000s, enough public pressure has seemingly forced their hand. After months of current president Trump going back on his campaign promise to release the files, he has now swiftly changed his tune with his voter base urging the files being released. Whether or not the government blanks out crucial information as they so often do is still yet to be seen. But, after years of the news teasing the public with stories of Epstein since his death, we will finally have some answers. However, these answers may lead to possibly unforeseen levels of news coverage a...
