So, we’ve all heard of those stories where you read a story that’s been in the Times for a few weeks, read it, it’s really good, and then you find out that the author has passed away. It’s a sad, sad situation, but you should definitely be on your best behavior because it’s a rare thing.
A few months ago we found out we’re not being watched. So the next time you read a story, you’re going to be watching the news.
Thats right. Just a bit of background. The news media does a lot of “reporting” on stories that happen outside of our world, which often includes things like the latest celebrity gossip, but there are other instances where the news media is actually taking the stories and presenting them as if they are fact.
In the case of the story about the death of star obit writer, Paul F. Tompkins, a local paper in Medford, Wisconsin, is taking the story about it and presenting it as fact. In fact, in the very next story, they are using the obituary to try and make a point about how the media has a bias against obituaries and how they are only in favor of the celebrities in the headlines.
It’s true that we don’t all have to be stars to be news, and we can have news without being stars, or at least they can make it seem that way. But many of the news stories are just trying to convince us that we need to keep paying attention. In some ways, a news story is a form of propaganda.
But the news is not only propaganda. News is a way for people to communicate with each other. If you read our article about how celebrities are usually not news, it will also show you that a lot of celebrities are not celebrities to begin with. Celebrities are often part of a larger system, like a government, that is more powerful than the celebrities themselves.
This is a point I’ve made countless times, and yet it remains relatively uncontroversial. I’ve never heard of a news story being written by a celebrity. I mean, there’s a few famous people who have written news stories, but I’ve never heard of any prominent person who has done so. I think that’s because they haven’t been around long enough. They’re likely trying to act as though they have never met a complete stranger before.
Well that is quite the opposite of true, and I’ve never heard of a true celebrity writing a news story either. In fact, it actually makes you wonder why celebrities are allowed to write at all. I mean, imagine if you had to write a news story about a new, unknown, terrifying disease.
Thats exactly what the media does. It isnt exactly the news. Most of the time if it isnt the news, its just a story. However, when they run a story they actually think they have something real to report, and they try to paint themselves as as news source. Thats why they have the reporters, and thats why they are able to write stories so outlandish and so sensational.
The same goes with obituaries. If they arent the news, they are a story. They may not even be accurate, but they are a story. People think that is better than not knowing if they are good enough, or not, to write a story about the person who died. If you dont know, then you cant write a story about it. Also, obituaries arent the only news.
