30th July 2011 Signs and miracles still happen? Fully drawn here just a change? Or is it just a concatenation of fortunate "coincidences"?
Leafing through this week's Focus Issue at least I had the same amazed several times. It begins with the cover: Is it all but actually 'I - The best medicine in the world "as a subtitle:" The miracle of healing. " Ten pages are devoted to writers in the inner part of this focus, which ends with a kind of summary, which says: "The new soul medicine." In Focus, mind you. What?
Until not so long ago had focus, mirror & Co. only contempt, if not derision, but controversy remains at least for everything that moves beyond the conventional. I slept through it?
On page 52, the former equality instruct makes nonsense air about the gender ("gender apartheid finally Stops"), two sides will continue to argue that radical defense of the diversity of peoples ("Protect Freedom"). Well, both contributions appear in the "debate" that the publishers probably need (yet) as a protective shield for their own alienation. But still ... If expediency now?
Continued on page 62: In a multi-page article about the run on hard to grasp natural gas focused on the risks of this Exploitationstechniken reported ("Fracking", see Zeitgeist's contribution to the topic ). Then on the double page 106/107: Here the reader the technical terms related to the "rescue €" such as Haircut explained. Amazing. Even Max Otte (author of "The crash is coming" , published in 2006), recently scolded yet, get a whole page of its position (104).
Does this really a new way of thinking? Or are you in the big publishing houses just realized that "Alternativsein" not only has become socially acceptable, but even coal can be earned by that? Or you're afraid that there might come off more readers?
Anyway, if the mainstream is now suddenly an alternative, then what role does the traditional alternative media in the future?
The answer is obvious: experience and overview will be in demand. Similarly, the deeper understanding of relationships. Constructive and critical supervision. A "steering" so to speak, in the service of millions of readers who are served by the mass media.
A smile I can not help anyway. Because all in all, now the roles changed.
Hello Mr. Röttcher,
I am currently doing the same observation, but draw different conclusions from it.
It is probably now the advertisers have paid off, that advertising does not reach the receiver is useless.
Magazines without information content are just no longer spread.
Consequently, you will inevitably conflict with the more critical reporting-something-in purchase.
An objective analysis of eg FRG status, EU treaty breaks, Lybia, Israel, Palestine, monetary system, so it will not happen.
Greetings - Ben
The people understand but do not know what is being written at a time and the 'alternative' is the only think:
'Ah, ok, a little criticism in a rubric "debate", but that's also because'
The news is the real and the rest of the booklet is nonsense, because not penetrate through .... unfortunately.
Flat, the world is flat, tell me ..... you and the magazines sell like crazy ....
