"Instead of scurrying into a corner and wailing about what media are doing to us,one should charge straight ahead and kick them in the electrodes."Marshall McLuhan,1960.
"与其急匆匆地跑到一个角落里抱怨媒体对我们做了什么，还不如直接向前冲，把它们踢进电极里。"马素·麦克鲁汉，1960年。
For the past 35 years,I've been pointing out"flaws"in major media presentations of the news.Specific lies,specific omissions,specific strategies intended to keep the public from knowing the truth about a variety of life and death matters.
在过去的35年里，我一直在指出主要媒体对新闻报道的"缺陷"。具体的谎言，具体的遗漏，具体的策略，旨在阻止公众了解各种生死事项的真相。
The word"media"comes from the Latin,meaning"middle."And"middle"suggests there are two ends.The media are between two ends.What are they?
"媒体"这个词来自拉丁语，意思是"中间"。而"中间"意味着有两个端点。媒体处于两个极端之间。他们是什么?
Well,when you back up a few steps from The News,you see that elite anchors and their colleagues are interposed between EVENTS and THE PUBLIC AWARENESS OF THESE EVENTS.The anchors and reporters are the eyes,ears,and mouths for the population.This,at best,is a highly precarious set-up.
当你回顾《新闻》的几个步骤时，你会发现精英主持人和他们的同事介于事件和公众对这些事件的意识之间。主持人和记者是人民的眼睛、耳朵和嘴巴。这充其量只是一个高度危险的安排。
Why would anyone in his right mind place blind faith in these newspeople?The answer is simple.No one who gives that faith is in his right mind.He has surrendered his mind.
为什么有些正常人会盲目相信这些新闻记者？答案很简单。给予信仰的人没有一个头脑清醒。他已经投降了。
Surrendered it to the need for authority."You have to trust somebody."This is the rube and yokel factor."The man behind the news desk looks good.He speaks well.He seems sure of himself.He represents a large successful organization.Therefore,he wouldn't lie.Truth is his job description.If he's lying,then what else about reality might be a lie?I'm not looking for a sinkhole to fall into.I want to keep my balance.The anchor helps me do that.I have to maintain a basic trust in my fellow man.It's part of my religion..."
把它交给对权威的需要。"你必须相信别人。"这就是乡巴佬的因素。"新闻台后面的那个人看起来不错。他讲得很好。他似乎很自信。他代表一个成功的大组织。因此,他不会说谎。真相是他的工作描述。如果他在撒谎，那么现实中还有什么可能是谎言呢?我不是在找一个落水坑。我想保持平衡。锚帮助我做到了这一点。我必须对我的同胞保持基本的信任。这是我信仰的一部分……"
Then there is a psychological need for The One.More-than-one takes a person into a realm of uncertainty,and who wants that?"You mean I have to choose?I have to make distinctions?Forget it.Give me Lester Holt.Give me the anchor who looks the cleanest.Give me the one friend above all others.I have the one God,so I want the one anchor."
然后就是对救世主的心理需求。不止一个人把另一个人带入了一个不确定的领域，谁希望这样呢？"你的意思是我必须做出选择？我必须做出区分吗？算了吧。给我接莱斯特·霍尔特。给我看起来最干净的锚。给我最好的朋友。我有唯一的上帝，所以我想要唯一的锚。"
But here's the trick.No one who places his blind faith in the one anchor wants to admit that this is what he's doing.
但诀窍是这样的。没有一个盲目相信一个主播的人愿意承认这就是他正在做的事。
Instead,he might say,"Well,of course Lester is giving me the facts.What else would he be up to?Stop doubting.Stop all this conspiracy nonsense."
相反，他可能会说:"好吧，莱斯特当然会告诉我事实。他还会做什么？停止怀疑。停止所有这些阴谋论的废话。"
In other words,there are only two supposed territories.The first is bland neutral surety.It almost sounds like science.Then there is crazy Loonsville,where insane fantasies are floated.The correct choice is obvious."Congratulations,you just made the right selection.You get a gold star in the sky."
换句话说，只有两个假定的领土。第一种是温和的中性担保。这听起来几乎像是科学。还有疯狂的Loonsville，那里充斥着疯狂的幻想。正确的选择是显而易见的。"恭喜你，你做出了正确的选择。你会在天空中得到一颗金星。"
In the second half of the 19th century,Western philosophers made a sharp turn.Instead of trying to describe ultimate reality(more and more,a losing proposition),they focused on the term"epistemology."The study of knowing.How do people know what they know?This led to all sorts of hypotheses about the brain,the eye,the five senses,and so on.The philosophers,as it emerged,missed the boat.How do people know?Through The News.That's how.Through substituting someone else for themselves.Voila.
在19世纪下半叶，西方哲学家做了一个急转弯。他们没有试图描述最终的现实(越来越多，一个失败的命题)，而是专注于术语"认识论"研究认知的学科。人们怎么知道他们知道什么？这导致了关于大脑、眼睛、五官等各种各样的假说。哲学家们错失良机。人们是怎么知道的？通过新闻。就是这样。通过用别人代替自己。瞧。
And then the question became:who is that someone else going to be?Aha.Yes.The news networks were very interested in the question and the answer."What will make the public choose our man?What does he need to look like?How does he need to speak?What can we do to make our man into a star?"
然后问题就变成了:那个人会是谁？啊哈。是的。新闻媒体对这个问题和答案非常感兴趣。"什么会让公众选择我们的人？他需要什么样子？他需要怎么说话？我们怎样才能让我们的男人成为明星?"
An effective series of strategies along that line,resulting in high ratings,opened yet another door:"Now that we have our one anchor,and now that the public has surrendered their minds to him,how can he present the news with thin surface and short circuits and tricks and lies and omissions,in order to serve our basic agenda?"
这条路线上的一系列有效策略导致了高收视率，这又打开了另一扇门:"既然我们只有一个主持人，既然公众已经把他们的思想交给了他，他怎么能够用表面的、短路的、诡计、谎言和遗漏来呈现新闻，以服务于我们的基本议程?"
Because,face it,opting for truth,no matter where it led,no matter how deep it went,no matter who it EXPOSED,would leave the news networks naked,out in the rain,bereft of sponsors and begging for pennies on the street.It would cut them off from government and corporate sources of information.The networks weren't looking to EXPOSE,they were looking to COLLUDE.
因为，面对现实吧，选择真相，不管它走向何方，不管它走得有多深，不管它揭露的是谁，都会让新闻网络赤裸裸地暴露在雨中，失去赞助商，在大街上乞讨。这将切断他们与政府和企业的信息来源。电视台不是想要曝光，而是想要勾结。
COLLUDE gives you power,it gives you important allies,it gives you money,it gives you uninterrupted access,it gives you a giant leg up on your enemies,it gives you the opportunity to fashion and simulate reality.That last factor creates a natural alliance with the intelligence community,because they simulate reality all day long,every day.And they have hills and mountains of interesting information they can pass along to you.They can guide you on what to broadcast and what to hold back.They can,in fact,hand you ready-made packages of false realities.They're your best friends.
它给你力量，它给你重要的盟友，它给你金钱，它给你不间断的访问，它给你一个巨大的腿你的敌人，它给你的机会时尚和模拟现实。最后一个因素创造了一个与情报界的自然联盟，因为他们整天，每天都在模拟现实。他们有很多有趣的信息可以传递给你。他们可以指导你什么是广播，什么是保留。事实上，他们可以给你虚假现实的现成包裹。他们是你最好的朋友。
News becomes,by its very nature and essence,FAKE.
新闻就其本质和本质而言，变得虚假。
What else would you expect?
你还能指望什么？
At that point,all the networks needed was a raft of executives and work-a-day drones who wouldn't bother to think about how,for example,intentionally misreporting the vital details of a war would result in the unnecessary deaths of thousands or millions of people.And what do you know?Such employees were readily available.Pump them up with a little bullshit about the Mission of journalism,wind them up,and release them.They'll carry out their functions.
在那个时候，网络所需要的只是一大批高管和每天工作的无人机，他们根本不会去考虑，例如，故意错报战争的重要细节，会导致成千上万人不必要的死亡。你知道什么？这样的雇员很容易找到。给他们灌输一些关于新闻工作使命的废话，让他们闭嘴，然后释放他们。他们会履行他们的职责。
You have a news network.Actually,you have a major corporation.And the overriding success of a corporation is in peddling product.
你有一个新闻网。实际上，你有一家大公司。而一个公司最重要的成功就是推销产品。
As long as the public keeps trusting.Blindly.
只要公众继续相信，盲目地相信。
Should I continue for a bit?Why not?I'll offer the example I've most often cited in these pages over the past 20 years:the Starfield Revelation.It's based on my strategy of exposing facts FROM the mainstream in order to ACCUSE AND INDICT the mainstream.No woo-woo,no fringe,no aimless speculation.
我应该继续一会儿吗？为什么不呢？我将举出过去20年里我在这些文章中最经常引用的例子:《星域启示录》。这是基于我从主流中揭露事实的策略，以便控告和指责主流。没有尖叫，没有边缘，没有漫无目的的猜测。
On June 26,2000,the Journal of the American Medical Association published a review by Dr.Barbara Starfield,who was a respected and revered public health expert at the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health.Impeccable MAINSTREAM credentials,all the way up and down the line.The review was titled,"Is US Health Really the Best in the World?"
2000年6月26日，《美国医学协会杂志》发表了芭芭拉·斯塔菲尔德博士的一篇评论，她是约翰·霍普金斯大学公共卫生学院受人尊敬的公共卫生专家。无可挑剔的主流资质，从头到尾都是。这篇评论的题目是"美国的健康真的是世界上最好的吗?"
Starfield stated that the death toll in the US,in a given year,directly CAUSED by medical treatment,was 225,000.(106,000 as a result of correctly prescribed medical drugs and 119,000 as result of mistreatment and errors in hospitals)
斯塔菲尔德指出，在美国，每年由于医疗直接造成的死亡人数为22.5万。(106,000人因正确开药而死亡，119,000人因医院中的虐待和错误而死亡)
With a few seconds of extrapolation,you would arrive at a figure of 2.25 MILLION deaths caused by the US medical system,over the course of a decade.
通过几秒钟的推断，你可以得出一个数字，在十年的时间里，美国医疗系统造成了225万人死亡。
Now,I can't force anyone to register in their minds what that means.I can't force them to think.I can't force them to experience a shock to their system.But the facts speak for themselves.The US medical system kills 2.25 million people per decade.
现在，我不能强迫任何人在他们的头脑中注册这意味着什么。我不能强迫他们思考。我不能强迫他们经历对他们系统的冲击。但事实不言自明。美国的医疗系统每十年杀死225万人。
Nine years after Dr.Starfield published her findings,I interviewed her.She told me the US government had never contacted her to consult on a plan to stop all this killing,and the US government had never put together a plan to stop all this killing.
斯塔菲尔德博士发表她的研究结果九年后，我采访了她。她告诉我，美国政府从来没有联系过她，就停止这一切杀戮的计划进行咨询，美国政府也从来没有制定出停止这一切杀戮的计划。
What about the news media?Well,after the publication of Starfield's review,there were stories in the press.For a little while.Then they disappeared.None of those stories expressed great shock or indicated that deep journalistic investigations were on the way.
那么新闻媒体呢？那么，在斯塔菲尔德的评论发表之后，媒体上就出现了一些故事。就一会儿。然后他们就消失了。这些报道都没有表现出极大的震惊，也没有表明深入的新闻调查正在进行之中。
In other words,the press did a limited hangout.That's a term that comes straight out of the intelligence agencies,and it means you expose a piece of a story,not the whole sordid tale,and you move on,assuming that the(blind and trusting)public will be satisfied.And incurious.
换句话说，新闻界做了一个有限的环聊。这是一个直接来自情报机构的术语，它意味着你揭露一个故事的片段，而不是整个肮脏的故事，然后你继续前进，假设(盲目和信任的)公众会满意。而且漠不关心。
Because,as you,the reader,can no doubt realize,mainstream news execs COULD HAVE rolled up their sleeves and said,"This is one of the biggest scandals we've ever seen.It's horrendous.The cost of human lives is on the level of a war.But it's happening in the HEALING profession,and no one in government has been doing anything to stop the war.We're going to put our most relentless people on it.They're going to wave the Starfield report in front of the noses of every person on Capitol Hill.They're going to go to the White House.They're going to interview doctors and medical school presidents and journal editors and the families of people who have died in this healing war.They're going to invade the FDA and find out why that agency has seen nothing and done nothing.They're going to go to the pharmaceutical companies and pound on doors until those people start to talk.There are MANY GUILTY PARTIES here,and we're going to find out and prove who they are.We're going to force it.We're going to get people to roll over on each other,come hell or high water,and we're going to keep climbing up on the ladder of influence and control and CRIME.We're going to publish an ongoing chronicle of our findings,week in and week out,for as long as it takes.We're going to launch a shit storm..."
因为，作为读者，你们无疑会意识到，主流媒体的高管们可能会卷起袖子说，"这是我们见过的最大的丑闻之一。太可怕了。人类生命的代价已经达到了战争的水平。但这种情况发生在医疗行业，政府中没有人采取任何措施来阻止这场战争。我们会把最无情的人派上去。他们将在国会山每个人的鼻子前挥舞斯塔菲尔德报告。他们要去白宫。他们将采访医生、医学院院长、期刊编辑以及在这场愈合战争中牺牲的人们的家人。他们准备侵入食品和药物管理局，找出为什么该机构什么也没看到，什么也没做。他们会去制药公司敲门，直到那些人开始说话。这里有很多有罪的人，我们要找出并证明他们是谁。我们要强迫它。我们会让人们互相揭发，不管遇到什么困难，我们都会在影响、控制和犯罪的阶梯上不断攀升。我们打算每周发表一份我们的发现的编年史，只要需要，我们就会一直持续下去。我们将掀起一场大风暴......"
You get the idea.
你明白了吧。
That's called journalism.It's the kind of journalism you can do when you have large resources and dedicated personnel.
这就是所谓的新闻。如果你有大量的资源和专业的人员，你就可以做这种新闻。
But those elite news anchors---you know,the ones who are in the middle,between events and the public awareness of events---they don't have the air time or the inclination or the courage to challenge the basic structure of their news organizations,which exist as a result of COLLUSION.
但是那些精英新闻主播----你知道，那些处于事件和公众对事件意识之间的中间人----他们没有广播时间、倾向或勇气去挑战他们的新闻机构的基本结构，这是共谋的结果。
Neither do their editors and other bosses have the inclination.
他们的编辑和其他老板也没有这种倾向。
On just one of a number of levels---it doesn't take a genius to figure out what would happen to the pile of money derived from pharma advertising,if a major mainstream news network decided to pursue this story into the gates of hell.
如果一家主流新闻网决定将这个故事推向地狱之门，那么从制药广告中获得的巨额收入将会发生什么，不需要一个天才就能明白。
At any rate,when I see how much time mainstream media outlets are clocking,in their crusade to call thousands of"alternative people"fake news,I register ZERO degree of wonderment or surprise.I understand their game.I know how it's played and where it comes from.I know the character of the people who are playing it.After all,I named my website NoMoreFakeNews 19 years ago.I wasn't buying their act then,and I'm not buying it now.
无论如何，当我看到主流媒体有多少时间，在他们称成千上万的"另类人"为假新闻的运动中，我感到一点惊奇或惊讶。我理解他们的把戏。我知道它是怎么玩的，从哪里来的。我知道演奏它的人的性格。毕竟，我在19年前就把我的网站命名为nomorefkenews。我当时不相信他们的行为，现在也不相信。
You want to see a real and genuine and serious and profound and criminal mental disorder,as opposed to the disorders cooked up by committees of psychiatrists who may as well be meeting in the offices of drug companies who are waiting for the latest categories,so they can start manufacturing toxic meds as treatments?You want to see the real thing?
你希望看到一种真实的、真实的、严重的、深刻的、犯罪性的精神障碍，而不是精神病学家委员会炮制的障碍，这些精神病学家可能正在制药公司的办公室开会，等待最新的分类，这样他们就可以开始制造有毒的药物作为治疗手段？你想看真家伙吗？
Put on a helmet and a hazmat suit and turn on the news.
戴上头盔，穿上防护服，打开新闻。
