Holders of Lies
Media Manipulation Unveiled: Holders of Lies by Oligarquia
Lyrics
It doesn´t matter if it was not how it happened
Disregarding the accuracy of events is irrelevant.
Doesn´t matter who won or lost
Victory or defeat holds no significance.
The big profit with the news exposure
Significant profits come from media exposure.
Sponsors will continue to sponsor
Sponsors will persist in supporting regardless.
You are the system, system´s strong arm
Addressing the audience as part of the manipulative system.
Capitalist scum, holders of lies!
Criticism towards those manipulating information for personal gain.
The rating will rise and the kid will be known
Increased ratings with sensationalism; fame for the subject.
Your gut mixed with gunpowder the most viewed video
Exploitation of violence and shock for maximum viewership.
Patent the tragedy for the competitor does not show
Monopolizing tragic events to suppress competitors.
First page highlighting and the anchorman gets touched
Mainstream media's emphasis on front-page news, affecting the anchor emotionally.
You are the system, system´s strong arm
Reiteration of being a tool of the manipulative system.
Capitalist scum, holders of lies!
Renewed condemnation of those distorting the truth for personal gain.
Jihadists kidnapped the Western reporters
Reference to jihadists kidnapping Western reporters.
Threaten to behead them on the air worldwide
Threats to harm reporters for global broadcast impact.
Absurd they will show it, we can´t let
Rejecting the absurdity of airing such content, prioritizing audience well-being.
This go on the air and overcome my audience
Expressing concern about surpassing ethical boundaries for higher audience ratings.
