No Agenda-The Saturday Memo

Note from John C. Dvorak

Welcome Back, Adam

 

Producers,

It looks like all hell broke loose within a day of the predicted six-week cycle zero day(July 15th) a major news event shook the media with the Chattanooga shooting by a lone wolf gunman. Government officials must have mixed feelings about this since each event such as this belies the notion that a surveillance state can stop this from happening.

Only your No Agenda Show follows and develops structures around news like this, making it easy for producers to understand what is going on around them. The alternative is to be frightened by media reporting and its lame analysis of current affairs. Please show your appreciation for your No Agenda Show by contributing today by clicking here.
If you watch network news there is a huge conflict of interest with their advertisers. Most of the ads during this time slot are drug companies. By slanting the news in a way that confuses and befuddles the brain with inconsistencies, contradictory information and false analysis, your health is at risk. The solution, of course, is a pill, ask your doctor if this pill is right for you.
The conflict of interest is clear as with all media conflicts. Advertising is the culprit and that is why your No Agenda Show chose the harder path of public support. If viewed objectively, public support is viewed unfavorably. This is silly when you consider the direct support of the moviegoing public who pay directly to see the movie. Books are a perfect example of this model working.
The only reason that public support is frowned upon is because corporate advertisers have no control over the content. It’s not that a corporation such as BNSF rail wants to stick their nose into every story. The executives just want favorable coverage when coverage comes their way. And they get it
 
Your No Agenda Show relies on public support because it is the high road. Any one of you who has listened to the show for any length of time knows that the commentary and analysis developed on the show would be grounds for firing on almost any network that is broadcasting today. The show keeps going thanks to you and only thanks to you. Please continue supporting the No Agenda Show. It is an investment in yourself.
Your co-host,
