Mainstream legacy media is a monster. It has knowingly poisoned the unconscious and distracted and trivialized the conscious process. Karl Kraus the Viennese satirist, documented the media’s role in fomenting the incompetent and disastrous charade of WW I. As one of Kraus’s recent translators, Michael Russell , says, ‘Kraus saw a powerful influential press in Vienna becoming ever more mendacious, manipulative, corrupt and self-serving, forming ever stronger ties with the aristocratic, industrial, financial and above all political elites of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and later, after the war, with the struggling democracy of a new Austria. Kraus saw the media as an apocalyptic threat, creating a false reality, one which it was impossible to reject publicly without being considered a fool or a mad man.
