1153 Biased media discusses Gaza

In this meditation Geoff is shown a scenario with understanding

I have got a guy; he seems to be wearing not a turban but it looks like a very sloppy turban just wrapped around his head. Now he does have a bit of an Arab look some way. and he’s looking very, I can see him very clearly, it’s a busy sort of street. It’s something to do with
the people that are doing marches and protests and so on about the Gaza-Israeli war in different countries. They don’t see the full picture at all, they only see what the media portrays. And so they’re basically under the control of whoever is running the media
and we know different channels support different people, different groups and so on and this is just their way of attacking who they dislike or vice versa

Sharon
creating more energy

Geoff
yeah so it doesn’t help at all

Sharon
no

so all these people have just a little bit of information. The last war was full of propaganda. And nobody really knew what was going on there except the guys right at the top. And it was really bad then. Well today it’s the same sort of thing but it’s much more, has a lot more power because it’s very easy to get through to a lot of people because of the internet. So you’ve only got to publish a story that gets picked up by other people. What the journalist should be doing is getting confirmation from two different sources. That’s the sort of basic journalist rule. But even that they’re able to get over now. That sort of thing is not going to be important in a short while. And that’s because when things start to settle down, they’re going to find out the truth, and they’re going to realise how they were hoodwinked. All helps with our cause of getting people back on track. It’s not a problem at the moment.
