    Say it ain't true! :)

    Sadly, however, anyone who has taken the time to research the history of the CIA's "Mighty Wurlitzer' knows it is true. One of America's best known award winning journalist, Carl Bernstein of the Watergate story has already made it clear that the media are willing tools.

    Much like our media then, with the prospect of gongs, ermine, and elevation at the end of a compliant working life.

    I am reminded of what Oscar Wilsde said of the English journalist:

    You cannot hope
    to bribe or twist,
    thank God! the
    British journalist.
    But, seeing what
    the man will do
    unbribed, there's
    no occasion to.

    Except for the lying, twisting and bribery it's a pretty accurate quote. :)

    Another great piece by Neil Clark. It's a great shame the wider U.S audience cannot be reached, especially the Democrats just to see how dirty is their frontrunner. US State Department, Al Jazeera, Google etc...etc....They were all in it together.

    Google this! Hillary Clinton and the Syrian regime-change conspiracy

    Neil Clark is a journalist, writer, broadcaster and blogger. He has written for many newspapers and magazines in the UK and other countries including The Guardian, Morning Star, Daily and Sunday Express, Mail on Sunday, Daily Mail, Daily Telegraph, New Statesman, The Spectator, The Week, and The American Conservative. He is a regular pundit on RT and has also appeared on BBC TV and radio, Sky News, Press TV and the Voice of Russia. He is the co-founder of the Campaign For Public Ownership @PublicOwnership. His award winning blog can be found at www.neilclark66.blogspot.com. He tweets on politics and world affairs @NeilClark66

    If you’d have said a year ago that the US State Department, Google, and Al Jazeera had been collaborating in pursuance of regime change in Syria, chances are you’d have been casually dismissed as a ‘crank’ and a ‘conspiracy theorist’.


    Syria was a people’s uprising against a wicked genocidal Russian-backed dictator and the West had nothing to do with the bloodshed which engulfed the country. If you thought otherwise then you were considered an 'Assad apologist'.

    However, thanks to Wikileaks, the Freedom of Information Act, and Hillary Rodham Clinton’s use of a private, non-secure email server, we can see what was really going on behind the curtain.

    Overall, 30,322 emails and attachments dating from June 30, 2010 to August 12, 2014, including 7,570 written by Clinton herself, have been published.

    They haven’t made much of an impact in the mainstream media, which is not surprising considering their explosive content...

    Libs are continually brainwashed by their media outlets. They only quote Huff Po, Mother Jones, MSNBC, etc. as if it is the gospel truth. They use their media's buzzwords on here. If it weren't so tragic, it would be funny. They have no clue as to how to think for themselves. That's why they always show articles where a Republican has a different opinion as if that is bad. They can't believe Republicans aren't all in lock-step like they are. They are sponges for the media--they just don't question anything, not even when it doesn't make sense. They all need deprogramming.

    They attempt to create the news rather than reporting it . Have you notice they NEVER indicate the race when it involves black on white crime BUT when it is white on black it is in the headline and multiple time in every paragraph ! There is no such thing as fair and balanced reporting ! This all started with the " Divider in Chief " Obama ! :steamed:

    okay I've wasted almost 45min watching that video... where did someone say "Government Pays Us To Fake Stories" because I never heard that phrase uttered once... maybe I missed it, I don't know, perhaps you can give me the exact time stamp for it... or let me guess, this is just another editorialized fictitious statement made up to create a flashy headline despite nobody ever actually saying it?

    she said CNN received money from some states to publish stories of certain types... but nothing about them being lies or proven as such... just published propaganda which many states do on a regular basis, america does it all the time with many programs they pay tv stations to publish propaganda... but nowhere did anyone in this entirely wasted time of my life ever say they were paid to fake stories...

    I wish headlines had more scrutiny... I just wasted 45min waiting to hear someone utter that phrase... it never was said by anyone... pure editorialized garbage...

    but hey like I said, maybe I missed it, please give me the time stamp of when someone said those exact words... don't give me a time stamp of your editorializing or rewording other phrases they said... I want to hear those quoted words as if it was a conversation come from someones mouth... this is why I hate biased websites...

    This is not at all surprising but in fact on par with tradition. The Associated Press which the CNN is a part of, was in fact the only international news agency not kicked out of the Nazi Germany in 1935, and remained there even after the U.S. went with Germany in 1941. They enjoyed this privilege only because they agreed to collaborate closely with the fascist state, printing stories selected by the Nazi Minister of Propaganda. Old habits die hard then. A propaganda outlet for the state leaning towards totalitarianism..

    I already knew this. I remeber listening to the news and hearing how Tripoli was being bombed by Ghaddafi. Yet, there was an RT film crew and the ground, in Tripoli, where the supposed bombings took place. But it wasn't just them. Members of french media were on the ground too, and they found no evidence of bombing. Mass bombing of a city is not something that you can cover up in a day. Russian defence ministry stepped forth and said that their satelites had found no evidence of the bombings taking place. Yet the western media was filled full of stories of how Ghaddafi was bombing Tripoli. Neither Rt or the members of the French press saw any evidence of bombing. There were just crowds of people waving Ghaddafi's flag. This was the same fake bombing of Tripoli was used as an excuse to bomb cities in Lybia, aiding the people who we(everyone) now know is ISIS.And no doubt, just as we saw with Syria, Lybia too was flooded with foriegn Jihadist. And in the case with Syria, we saw the Western media, go against the UN report and blame the attack on Assad. But the fact is, we know that the Chemical attacks was likely done by rebels, hoping to do the same as was done in Lybia and be used as an excuse to sent Nato in to bomb Assad. And they did.

    "Testimony from victims strongly suggests it was the rebels, not the Syrian government, that used Sarin nerve gas during a recent incident in the revolution-wracked nation, a senior U.N. diplomat said Monday. Carla del Ponte, a member of the U.N. Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Syria, told Swiss TV there were “strong, concrete suspicions but not yet incontrovertible proof,” that rebels seeking to oust Syrian strongman Bashar al-Assad had used the nerve agent."

    http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/may/6/syrian-rebels-used-sarin-nerve-gas-not-assads-regi/

    Thats why Russia had such a hard stance on Syria, and why they immediately solved Assads chemical weapons problem. Now we have statements from ex CIA saying that ISIS has used chemical weapons. There is a lot of evidece that Turkey was giving materials to build chemical weapons to ISIS. 2 empty berrels of chemical weapons was found in the hands of ISIS in Turkey.

    All of this compounds the likelyhood that it was Likely the rebels who used those chemical weapons. Probably US trained

    I recall when CNN was called Clinton's network for showing the Albanians being ethnically cleansed and existing Kosovo.... day in and from day out and from morning until night. Later on I read the Albanians were being paid five dollars every time they were shown exiting in front of the cameras.

    What has happened now though, is the more the MSM spins the news by printing only half a story, and the more it exaggerates and demonizes Vladimir Putin and Assad, the more disgusted people get with the lies, so that instead of the propaganda networks, they turn to other sources. The MSM in order to compensate for the financial losses, has to turn to the government for support...so what we have now is a government controlled press.

    It's only a matter of time before foreign sources such as RT and Sputnik are blocked, as well as internet sources that run contrary to the government line.

    CNN like most other major media news outlets only promises "news" or information. They do not claim it is non-biased, or accurate, or serves the public trust. CNN can only make the shallow claim that based on some poll it is the news network people trust the most.

    Of course there has never been, nor shall there ever be a single conservative Christian in any top news management, editorial, writing or producing position at CNN.

    President Vladimir Putin signed a law in July banning advertising on private pay TV channels starting in January 2015, threatening the survival of many local stations.
    That was followed by a law in October limiting foreign ownership in Russian media companies to 20%. It will apply to broadcasters, digital publications and newspapers and takes effect in January 2016.

    Supposedly Nato was going to establish a no fly zone in Libya. Had Vladimir Putin been president, he would never have fallen for Washington's deception, but Medvedev was president and he trusted the West. This is why he lost the next election in Russia, and Putin won.

    Instead of vetoing the establishment of a no fly zone in Libya in the Security Council, Russia and China remained neutral. Moscow was promised that Ghadaffi would not be killed...and we know very well he was. Also Nato did not have permission to bomb Libya, and they did and they destroyed the most prosperous nation in Africa ... turning it into the mess we see today.

    Libya was destroyed because Ghadaffi wanted to put Africa on a gold standard and raise its standard of living ...and for this reason Washington had to destroy it. Today Russia and China are also putting themselves on the gold standard, this is why they are accumulating so much gold, and this is what the economic war is all about. This is also why Washington tries to keep the value of the dollar artificially high through lies and propaganda, and why London which controls the value of gold, tries to keep it artificially low. To counteract these deceptions, other agencies are being formed in the Far East that will determine the correct values of currencies and gold.

    Contrary to common belief, Russia is not the one fighting for its life economically, the US is. Russia though is fighting for its life militarily as it is being surrounded by Nato, as well as by the CIA supported terrorists in the Central Asian States.

    That's irrelevant. Russia isn't promoting a regime change and seeking to create a dangerous unrest in the USA. You need to educate yourself Ronnie. This is how things work in the real world. Not your limited world. What a difference one year makes! 'Competent' secretary of state completely exposed US department influence over Google and close cooperation with Al-Jazeera and other media outlets in order to overthrow 'unfriendly' regimes.

    Completely irrelevant. Nothing to do with the topic of this discussion. Russians and everyone else informed knows that the US elites prefer regime change in Moscow. They want subservient government in Moscow, not independent one. Anyway as far as I know an average Russian has better access to information than an average American.

    I don't think that the average American wants access to information, only access to chewing gum-for-the-brain entertainment. Think 'Idiocracy?
