What would be impact of media reporting positive news only for a given period of time

[NewFounderHome]

Well, I was wondering since the media seem to have been manipulating the mass for a long time.

What would be or could be the results of receiving positive information from the media, for 1 day, a week and maybe a month.

Would we see changes?
Would we notice any changes?

Could the mass population force this type of test, and many more questions like this..

I think that would be too dangerous to the establishment, since how we think about the world creates reality itself.
The media is basically mass hypnosis, re-creating the world how TPTB want it to be, making onions taste like apples.

One day of positive news would have a profound effect on the world, so it'll probably never happen.

Just to be safe, you know what they say 'No News is Good News'.
Not watching any news for a few days would be of benefit to most people.

What would be the impact on us the mass. Let's forget about what would happen to the media!

[AwakeInADream]

Well immediately there would be much less fear in the world, thus more love.
The crime rate would drop if it were taken out of consciousness for a while, less greed and less of the problems caused by our reaction to fear and the need for security.
Smiley happy people all round!:) Yeah! Let's dream!:)

You have 'Naked News' there in Canada don't you NewFounderHome?
I bet that has a pleasant impact on the masses.:canada::biggrin:

Well men will love that. Can't answer for the women!
That might not work for them!

What would be the appropriat why of getting the media on board for a test.

Any Ideas!

It's sad then folk's don't catch on.

To get the media on board, all of those 'fat cat' billionaire owners need to be taught the true value of love.

Maybe a large group of us should get together and send love energy to one media mogul at a time,
by way of an experiment to see if anything shifts within them?

(It's either that or drop acid in their morning coffee...)

If the love experiment works we could move on to politicians next and end all wars.

The media feeds off negativity and most of the population hungers for for it in one way or another. The negativity progressively gets worse and worse because many have become immune "bad news" so year after year is progresses with more gore, fright, and sensationalism. I am speaking mainly of the mainstream media.

To answer your question, in my opinion the impact would be bewildering. In order for any real impact this would have to happen on a regular basis. We are so ingrained with the negative that we would need a positive story for every negative one. Sort of an equalization.

Perhaps the world could also use a "good news" channel or two that focuses only on enlightenment and positivity. I know some religious channels exist, but I mean something for the world to watch regardless of religion or non religion and to exclude propaganda. The question is, will there be enough of us to watch them.

The negative feeds what he called pain bodies---this need for drama is part of the ego.
People will only feed on what is according to their taste.
I dont visit negative programs --that happened all by itself---as consciousness rises and it is, the need for painful drama will decrease.

Well You know, I was just wondering if this would have a good impact on what is being emited by the media. I would think it would send a big change or a lack of negative vibe, or something would come from it.

Hey mate,

Most people have a strange fascination for violence, for death. The media takes advantage of it in order to attract viewers, so they can generate a bigger revenue with commercials.

You know, as an example, people rarely reduce their speed while driving to observe a beautiful sunset. However, almost everyone reduces their speed to observe a violent car accident, the more destroyed is the car ( and the people inside), the more people reduce their speed, to the point of causing traffic jams.

Anyway, this is a classic case of what comes first; The supply or the demand?

Does the media publish violent news because most people are inherently more attracted to violence? Or most people feel more attracted to violence because the media only publish violent news?

I think it´s a bit of both.

So, is it possible to change this mindset? If they started broadcasting only positive news, would most people feel bored and turn off the TV, consequently drastically reducing the audience and profiting of news corporations? Or would people learn to really enjoy positive news after a while?

Frankly, I have no idea...Human behavior is extremely complicated.

Anyway, I suspect the news corporations would have a big financial loss since people wouldn´t really pay attention to the good news, at least in the first years.

Inherently or not, most people are somehow addicted to fear.

Cheers,

Raf.

I wonder if the people have changed enough, but the media just hasn't caught up yet?

They collect an awful lot of data about us to find out what we like (so they can sell us stuff),
so maybe this will happen naturally over time,
and as Kaon said, a 'good news' channel might be a good idea to test the water a little.

I totally agree with what you have said.
It would be a wonderful new experiment. IMAGINE only good new for a month.
This might move so much in the way folks are feeling.
What is your ideas on receiving good news for a month time?

Ha well it don't cost much to wish this!

My bet is that it would have a great and measurable impact in a positive way!

Did you know what people did before TV? They lived their lives. They socialised, talked and enjoyed each others company. Many were even CREATIVE and dare I say it FRUGAL. Without the influence of TV they baked, sewed, gardened they engaged in an almost endless list of creative and crafty pursuits. Many of these activities were done in groups, eg.. quilting circles. These things all still exist, but in a much more limited and expensive fashion. TV has replaced the normal routine of people getting together to do activities together and chat, discuss local matters. Instead of a daily dose of reality we have a daily dose of drama, competition and backstabbing. War, torture, murder, endless mindless violence, and don't forget gratuatus sex and pornography. Is it any wonder we see this ever increasing in the daily reality of our world.

Some of my neighbours and I gave up TV 4 years ago. None of us miss it. Infact, we find it difficult to sit down at someone else's house while they are "VIEWING". It is incredibly irritating not to mention boring. I sit there and wonder why they asked me over to visit them whilst they ignore me. (I should also put a mention about the new mobile phone which everyone in the world cannot apparently live without - except me. When you sit down to meal with others and they spend the entire time playing the latest "ADDICTIVE" game or texting. Very Irritating).

My viewing friends endlessly spout the latest propoganda. I have to tune them out too, or I might need to comment on how stupid this week's belief is.

So my Avalon friends, while a happy media day sounds wonderful. Why don't you just stop watching, reading and listening to the mainstream. The longer you go without it, the less you will want it. Until one day you won't even remember to want it.

Go on - I DARE YOU !

How could this take off?

We start (have started) by focussing on more positive stuff on this forum, that's how :)

[Fred Steeves]

It sounds like maybe the local news talked about here? Where we can always catch the latest rape, murder, home invasion, or house fire? That stuff makes my stomach churn too, right down to the way they breathlessly report it.

I do like national and international news though, of course I don't want to hear bullspit either. But, I also don't want to hear about all sunshine and lollypops. Give me the facts, the good, the bad, and the ugly, and let me make of it what I will. Otherwise, it's still just propaganda.

The material on this forum(minus of course the stuff that is of no value) is a good example. Everybody likes to learn of good and encouraging happenings, but what if say, no one ever bothered to bring up the fact that we are riddled with deeply embedded programming, or are being vampired? Or that we ourselves tend to be energy vampires as well? Not pretty, but if we didn't know, how could we ever decide to begin repairing the damage?

All things in moderation.
