MSM MSNBC make fun of Preppers

MSNBC pokes fun at Food Insurance & Glenn Beck



And the entire skit makes fun of preppers, because we store real food instead of what they call "real insurance".

 

[DannyBoy]

Pretty sad video. Easy to make fun...

They will all be hungry... (Well, I pray and hope not, but I worry they will be.)

It's the left, what did you expect. Plus I guess they advertise on Glenn Beck so that makes them an automatic target. I can't say that I like the name they chose for the site. Food Insurance automatically sounds like a scam to me, without even visiting the site. I would never have guessed it was preps.

We who laugh last, Joann...one must feel sorry for their mentality, for which they will suffer. Nature's way of insuring that only the intelligent survive.

I consider prepping personal responsibility which is in direct contrast of MSNBC's mind numbing Marxist's policies of WH and Congress.

Let 'em. My Giveash*tometer is busted.

The MSNBC crew would probably be the first to beat out everybody else to the McD's dumpsters if TSHTF.

 

[shane]

Same as mocking those who would get gold/silver insurance against currency
collapse, be grateful for the cheaper prices for as long as they don't have a clue.

I don't want a rush in anything I have not accumulated all that I want/need of,
so the longer they fail to see the need and then hold off ringing the bell for it,
the better.

On the other hand, it's a shame that so many will suffer later for MSM attitude
of arrogance, but they would not even exist if no non-thinking sheeple to herd.

What'll be curious and typically hypocritical of them will be how quickly they shift
from mocking those who would feel the need to stock-up to then demonizing
them later as hoarders when all will wish that they'd not listened to MSM earlier.

Got God, Grub, Guns & Gold?

Its easy to make fun of something you dont understand.
School yard bullies do it everyday - until someone hands them thier ass.

 

[Z28Camaro6D9]

This is the same network that relentlessly criticized the Bush administration for dropping the ball and delaying aid to Katrina victims, yet they now mock those who would stock food and other items because they realize the government can not or will not help them in the event of a catastrophe.

 

[mzkitty]

My son says: he worked at a McD's near us a few years ago. Did you know that, by law, they have to throw out all food that has timed out after it's been cooked, like a shelf life of 10-20 minutes after it's cooked. He says on most days the food they throw out could easily feed one hundred people for a day.

Just a tidbit if you are ever reduced to that kind of scrounging.

"My Giveash*tometer is busted."

Getting there.

SO getting there.

"Real insurance" is based on there not being a currency collapse. Good luck with that. It's also based on being at the mercy of the Evil Corporations, the ones MSNBC thinks should all be run by the gov't.

 

[tluweyen]

Yet in a crisis, these will be the first people to say it's not "fair" that you have all this food and they don't have any.

Yepper. That's why is past time to go gray (be invisible).

I'm not a prepper; I'm green! I'm cheap! I'm broke!

Any excuse other than saying, "Yeah, I have a food storage program, and you need one, too!"

They won't prepare, but they will remember. Try to be unmemorable.

Yep. I would say none of these people have enough life experience to realize they don't know it all. They will grow up fast after life hands them their ass.

[Safecastle]

Question--Opinions?

There are some shows, indeed some networks that just don't earn the trust of the audience or anyone else for that matter.

Hard to understand how they can endure as a "news" entity.

I shy away from doing most media interviews because I've seen way too many folks ambushed. Or otherwise skewered. Beck is a big target of course, as are most any well-known personalities. Kind of makes you wonder why so many folks crave fame.

Anyway--I have a question for people here ...

ABC's Nightline has been relentlessly pursuing me for a little over a week. Normally I ignore these things and they leave me alone--after all there are plenty of folks out there looking for the attention.

But this time, the producer is for some reason focused on getting the Safecastle viewpoint of survivalism.

Just the use of the term "survivalism" makes me cringe. It hints at a set-up. I think I WILL call her just to see what is actually on her mind, but I have no intentions of going on-air there.

Still--it's been a long time since I've watched Nightline--since Ted Koppel left years ago. What kind of show do they have now? Does anyone here think they would have a positive, sympathetic angle on preparedness?

 

[WildDaisy]

How does anyone *know* that MSNBC made fun of preppers? No one watches MSNBC!

Oh wait...the viewers of that "prepper" channel, FNC, outnumbers them a million to one in viewership.

Yeah, insult the people you want to get to increase your viewers...that's smart.

 

[Chair Warmer]

I bet they think it's fine to have more than a week's worth of clothing and you know most of them hoarde clothes but they can't see the sense in having more than a week's worth of food? Seems to me they're the ones lacking any sense!

JC Refuge, I wouldn't take the chance with your good name like that.

[ittybit]

Another case of similar situation as develops in grade school when the popular kids learn how to intimidate the majority with their wits, charm abusiveness. Beginning of "group think", and most kids buy into it and feel lucky to be a "part" of the herd. In the process they turn on and torture anyone who is different, in part as a means of reinforcing the crowd mentality and the grasp of control the "leaders" have on the group.

If you recognize the above you will then recognize the MO of most media outlets. They are just a larger, more polished version of the same old, same old.

When these folks turn "prepper" then be sure to get out of their way because they will act like animals in the process. Just fade away form the rumbling herd...

If it was me with your business, I wouldn't do it either.

 

[Barry Natchitoches]

My work and church colleagues used to laugh at me because I bought a small "starter" home in a lesser affluent part of the county, and paid off that home in eight years and one half years. I finished paying for the home in early 2005. Then I actually stayed that in that paid for home, even as my work and church colleagues were moving up into those newly built McMansions.


If I was a cruel hearted person, I would be laughing at them now, as one after another are either loosing their homes outright, or else loosing the rest of their life as they struggle to make the huge monthly payments.


But what good does it do to make fun of somebody when they are down?

You are right to assume an ambush and outright or veiled charges of fear mongering profiteering, and later their editing of the interview to best suit them, etc.

However, if you are cool under pressure and realize that while they can ask you any question they want, you can also answer it any way you want to, too, and that makes all the difference. You are not required to first agree to their set-up preceding the question, but can challenge it and then use the remaining opportunity to get across your own consistent message of the inherent common sense reasonableness to prep, even for common natural disasters which most everybody can relate to examples rattled off of, and it can be very positive.

Look at all your products and descriptions they'd likely find most 'outrageous' or to snicker at and anticipate questions about them and have developed your short responses to them to show their dual use and reasonableness. However, be polite as you go about 'correcting' them or it might never air.

Attitudes are changing, there are many more allies to prepping, though most are in the audience rather than sitting across from you in a media interview. It's the one's in the audience you are there for, making prepping sound common sense reasonable, truly a no-brainer.

PM me for my best media statement to start or end with.

MSNBC are the initials of the five people that watch the show. Real names may change - but still only 5 viewers at any one time.

 

[workerbee]

JC, I certainly understand your apprehension in this matter.
I also see the potential benefits accepting the invitation, and education would be an important motivator, beside an increase for your business.

I'll pray you make the best decision, and when you consider all the options, please allow your peace of heart to factor in at least a little. Give God a little room to work, but don't discount the obvious either.

Finally, I would definitely heed Shane's advice, he has the experience and wisdom in this area.

I have to be Cpt Obvious and point out the irony here.
A few years ago Shane was interviewed by Glenn Beck, and initially was pretty damn dismissive and flippant on the issue of prepping. I was pissed as hell at Glenn! (Eventually Glenn gave Shane a decent venue and was more objective on the subject, iirc.)

Fast forward and we've come full circle.

Here we are discussing the same issues here again, only Glenn is catching hell from msm for advocating prepping.

Funny as hell!

 

[Safecastle]

Thanks for the input, all.

Actually, I have been (and continue to consult) in the PR and advertising realms of the Corporate world for over 20 years. It's how I made my mark initially and where I continue to get the bulk of my income. Once upon a time I was a journalist as well (though in practice, nothing like what passes for journalism today).

(Not to mention my time in intell circles way back when.)

I CAN play the messaging games that are played out there better than most.

Thing is, on a practical level--I am also fully aware that single-stop media interviews almost never result in meaningful business hikes. A 24-hour blip is about what can be expected, unless other outlets pick up on some aspect of the interview that creates an ongoing stir.

The only potential positive in a major media appearance of this kind is a genuine chance to reach folks out there and get them starting to think about the logic behind preparedness.

I would not anticipate a meaningful bump in business for Safecastle, but that's OK. Preparedness evangelism is my real main objective with all that I do with Safecastle.

Still, as many here recognize, "survivalists" and those tied to that scary idea are regularly pilloried by the liberal media. Personally--I don't follow the notion that any publicity is good publicity. In fact, my customers prefer we keep a low profile for their sake. And I do prefer to know a great deal about what I am jumping into before I swing out over the dark, yawning chasm of a blind media appearance.

Many of the folks I rub elbows with in the preparedness business have wisely adopted the same outlook. Still--sometimes a rare opportunity does crop up. I shall see what comes of this. I just briefly spoke with the Nightline producer on this and she said elections are going to be occupying them for a while now, so after that, they want to do something with their survivalism story.

Psyops

These are nothing more than psyops, run to condition the sheeple into TPTB's "preferred behaviors."

The mocking approach is an extremely powerful one and it is seen in almost all attempts at social conditioning. You will note that in the MSNBC piece, the commentator casually threw in the now-obligatory anti-gold remark (you can't eat gold), too.

The masses are conditioned to accept the abnormal as normal and to happily adopt positions and behaviors which are not in their best interest.

Best regards
Doc

That's true, but where it pays off much more, and for years, is that every day
you have new people stopping by your site for the very first time, and quickly
deciding on whether to stay & poke around or not, and if front & center they
see a list of your top news outlets you've been featured on, that's credibility
that has them more likely thinking you're an expert in your field, so they stay
then & get to discover that, yes, you really are & they are in the right place.

Without being mass marketing crass by actually putting up the logo...

...you still do get to leverage off it just the same with your media list.

That's why we have our media list loading first atop all our pages, like here...
www.ki4u.com/main.htm

Even if an interview turns out 'bad', you can recoup by leveraging it to much
good, adding it as another credibility checkmark to your media interview list.
So, now almost any publicity could become good publicity, leveraged correctly.
