1.“How The Irish 🇮🇪 UK 🇬🇧 & World 🌏 Media Are Instilling Fear Into Their Online Readers” 🧵 1/30
2. I did a thread the other day entitled “Revealed 👀 “How The Media Worldwide Have Been Terrorising People Using Headlines For The Last 9 Months” It’s at the end of this thread. It fits in very nicely with this one and is a must read.
3. You could consider this the second part of that thread where I’m going to look at what the online media have been doing to continue the fear non-stop. Yet again I’m going to use the Irish Times as an example as I did in the initial thread.
4. I’ve picked Tuesday December 15th. To really appreciate what they are doing you’ll have to look at the images as well. You can see the main page of the website below. How the front page is laid out is really quite clever.
5.When you open up the page depending on what device you are reading the news you will see is referred to as above the fold. This basically means the news on the top part of your screen. So lets dive in to the “above the fold” section
6.The first thing that hits you is that everything and I mean everything is coronavirus related. From the 1st word in the drop down menu under News to the main article to the 4 additional articles on the right hand side of the web page
7.Just on that one page above the fold we can see that coronavirus and covid is mentioned 6 times. That’s a hell of a lot of fear being pushed. I mentioned in the other thread I did how powerful the word “virus” or “covid” is..
http://8.It  basically instills a type of terror into people as its invisible and the unknown. People fear the invisible as it’s not very tangible, you can’t see, feel or touch it which makes people very afraid.
http://9.You ’ll also notice other fear inducing words such as pandemic, dangerous, outbreak and lockdown. The call to authority in using the word “medic” is also intentional as who doesn’t trust a doctor to give them the best advice possible
10.The use of images is also for a purpose, especially “masks” so you realise we are still in a pandemic. Remember to “wash your hands” by using the hand sanitiser and don’t forget to “stay safe” whatever you do.
11.But don’t worry now that we have terrified you with this subliminal language there is a solution. No surprises for guessing it’s the vaccine. You couldn’t make this stuff up.
