Stuff’s documentary, Fire and Fury, is something to behold.
Its inquisitorial experts piously poking as pustuled conspiracy theorists threaten our besieged democracy with their pestilential heresies.
This piece opines with such sanctimonious intellectual languor that it suggests that media pundits have fallen victim to the illusion they helped build and now believe that; media output is actually reality itself; no independent body of logic, history, lore, or fact exists outside their manipulated framework of reference; no autonomous spiritual or temporal truth is grounds for a healthy, contented detachment from government patronage or exemption from its pronouncements.
Sliced and diced, this masterpiece instead showcases creative skill being cynically employed to vastly outshine the deficit of its content.
Subsequently, little sympathy is likely to remain for our media or politicians.
Caught in thickets of their own planting, they stubbornly refuse the painful pruning that an open, independent, unbiased and uneditorialised investigation would necessitate (all data contradicting their narrative, presently, choked from the limelight).
Without stooping to the misdirection this doco examples, those warming the pews for ‘the single source of truth’ need to engage in some repentant soul searching before humbly recommitting themselves to seeking and presenting the truth; the whole truth.
