Does The American Public Understand These Political Issues

 

 

U.S., citizens spent much time and money with great success
 lowering pollution of production methods over the last 25 years.
China and the EU did the same.
But world pollution still went up 40%.

Some anti-pollution activities are too costly
yet most professional treat them as indispensible. 

Prime example is the Keystone pipeline
Any reasonable cost/benefit analysis says build it!

Trump's Made America Great Again is political Hyperbolae. It is not Fake News. It is propaganda.

But, did the America understand what happened to jobs this century?

The media and the economics community feel little responsibility to explore
and report on success probability of potentially beneficial projects.
     
 

 

 

Does America know Some Wars on Never End

The War on Terror of Bush 2 and Nixon's War on Drugs
 are political hyperbole that too quickly become political correct.

 Media critics asserted that the term "war" was not appropriate
since there is no identifiable enemy.
Once the money flowed, prejudice for safety dominated.
The best use of funds is ignored.

A Look at History

Many years ago, the NY times reacted to massive competition by giving both sides of the story.
It won the battle, Yellow Journalism Crested, and then fell for 100years. 
It Bottomed in 1969 when the fairness doctrine for the broadcast media was eliminated.
Talk Radio and Identity Politics Flourished.

 

Society is Trying to Adjust

Individuals need self-authenticity, autonomy, choices, social identity
 and a collectivity based of nationalism and or religion.

Alienation drives a massive need for Community, Acceptance, and Dignity as
observed in the populism of the Protestant Reformation, Hitler's Fascism and Now the Rise of China.
Revolutions are not the Radicalization of a Belief but a Belief Being Radicalized.
Understanding of these complex events are not provided by Mass Media
 and the result is Fake News.

Protestant Reformation improved Western Culture.
 Fascism tried to Destroy Western Culture and lost.
Can Nonwestern Culture Peacefully Coexist with Western Culture?

Question: Where is the discussion on the Nuclear Treaty?
Is Almost No Reporting by the Mass Media Fake News?

even though they are easy and good for ratings.
