- ALL News is Fake News by Mickey Z. from Dissident Voice. (Note: Of course, the author is referring to news that is provided by media corporations that are owned by billionaire capitalists.) My reaction: Karl Rove, Senior Advisor and Deputy Chief of Staff to President George W. Bush, Jr., accidentally revealed how the capitalist ruling class referred to "reality", and news--indeed, all their programs--function as a creator of "reality" as reported by their media corporations for most people in the USA:
That's not the way the world really works anymore. We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality — judiciously, as you will — we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors ... and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.
