Viewing Media NEWS articles 1 through 32 of 32.
- ...the so-called "centrist" Kadima Party and its plan to steal more Palestinian land and "transfer" (ethnically cleanse) its inhabitants is supported by the Israeli people. For some reason this is not considered newsworthy by the corporate media.
- A contradiction in terms, or a non-sequitur, perhaps? No no no, a great deal of intelligence goes into your media diet, just not the kind you suppose...
- Maybe you'll get a visit
- ...Patrick Tillman Sr., commented, "if you send investigators to reinvestigate an investigation that was falsified in the first place, what do you think you're going to get?" - Play on Rachel Corrie canceled by New York theater group - U.S. troops massacre guests at an Arab wedding and Army doctors steal organs from Iraqi prisoners in a movie that is breaking box-office records in Turkey.
- Just how widespread, and uncontrolled, this latest government assault has become hit close to home last week when one of the FBI's National Security Letters arrived at the company that hosts the servers for this web site, Capitol Hill Blue. - A bill introduced in the New Jersey Assembly would require websites to collect and make available the legal names and physical addresses of anyone posting on an Internet forum.
- Conservatives dominate on Hardball
- AT&T's $67 billion merger with BellSouth could enable those who control the information pipes to also control the information. - The global managing editor of Reuters just recently stated that "the US military is entirely to blame for the deaths of three of its employees in Iraq." Though the major Australian newspapers have all reported this huge news, not surprisingly the US press hasn't touched it.
- audio - O'Reilly recently declared that "it's just a matter of time ... before we have to bomb" Iran. - Bill O'Reilly's on-air threat to callers who disagreed with him that they would receive a visit from Fox security and that their information would be turned over to local law enforcement at first seemed like another sick gimmick, but the stunt became a whole lot more serious when it was revealed that at least two terrified victims had received threatening calls.
- "The bill would make it a crime to tell the American people that the president is breaking the law, and the bill could make it a crime for the newspapers to publish that fact"... - The People’s Republic of China has invented a new and innovative way to make the totalitarian regime internet-user friendly: cartoon cyber cops. - Here's the front page of the New York Times online as of this moment ...
- Imputing good motives to a dicktator who posesses evil intent is a Matthews propaganda tactic.
- The third annual review of the state of American journalism found that while there were more media outlets this year than ever, they were covering less news.
- video - "There are people who I work for who would prefer, who would sleep much easier at night if this never happened."
- Let's start with the headline in today's story of tragedy and war crimes...
- One of the most gleeful commentators on network television was MSNBC’s "Hardball" host Chris Matthews. "We’re all neo-cons now," he crowed on April 9, 2003, hours after a Saddam Hussein statue tumbled in Baghdad.
- So Much for "Sunshine Week" - The US press is supposed to be challenging the lies of this war
- In a nominal democracy, such as exists today in the United States, shaping the opinions of the masses is crucial to the appearance of legitimacy for the ruling elite. The public must be guided and persuaded to ratify the policies favored by the wealthy and well connected, while insuring that the general public does not actually interfere with the policies and profits of the corporate rulers. - "U.S. Authorities Say..." - Why are "left wing" media outlets such as The New York Times and CNN not reporting the Palestinian side of the story? Well the simple answer is The New York Times and CNN are not liberal, nor honest.
- We already know that the Pentagon is committed to the policies of deception and misinformation. Their unwavering support for the planting of stories in the Iraqi press further demonstrates their belief that lies are vital to their overall strategy. We must assume that the 60 Minutes fits into this paradigm of psy-ops (psychological operations) directed at the American public to shore up support for the war.
- The corporate media is not controlled by anyone; they are the tool of the controllers. - CNN, and its equally empty colleagues at Fox, ABC, NBC, and CBS, have helped the White House convince Americans that the nation's most dangerous enemy is an Iraqi rebel, or an al Qaeda terrorist. But that's a lie, and most professional reporters aren't dummies; they must know it's a lie. - The media certainly weren't skittish about pictures of the tsunami victims. Or the bloated corpses of Rwanda. Or abandoned bodies floating in the streets of New Orleans. Editors and producers had no problem with those bodies. Their only problem is with bodies in Iraq.
- ...high-level members of CNN management advised the producers of the show to "kill it." This statement was clearly made to stifle any further coverage of 9/11 despite the admitedly huge ratings boost and response garnered from the recent coverage of Charlie Sheen's statements on 9/11.
- ...in a situation of generalized lies supported by an enormous media apparatus which has sold out or been intimidated by the dictatorial power of the US government and elite, the simple affirmation of basic truths is, rightly, considered dangerous and intolerable.
