    They seem to also tell "Enough Truth"in the stories, but the filler of said news article is what you need to read. That's were you find what "the powers to be" really want. For you to fall in line with the rest.

    They get you hooked in the beginning with truth, turn the discussion around in the middle, then totally change your opinion by the end. It's like a book

    Fair and Balanced is code for "We just created your opinion for you to believe what we want you to believe"

    I would have to say no. They are pushing the stories they want to tell, not the ones people want to hear.
    Even their human interest stories are just teasers, an attempt to get people to listen, so that they come back the next night. In fact, they don't give a shit about the people they are reporting on, or the listener.
    It also seems, that ABC especially, is infatuated with Hollywood. Fuck Hollywood.

    Not in general no.

    I know second-hand (friends with people who work) how much sponsors have a say and that ratings are everything.

    I usually research a story myself after hearing it.

    Would you trust the media?

    I dunno if I would.

    Asking yourself if you would trust the media is about like asking yourself if you'd test the voltage of a light socket using your dick.

    No, I do not. There's so many stories they have twisted to get views and you don't really feel as if you've got the whole story from reading or watching the news. Most media outlets are not reliable when it comes to stuff like that because they like to twist it into what they think happened and they brainwash viewers into believing a certain view, etc.

    Just to show how the government is not that good at controlling the media. I live in Canada and on CBC news they were talking about a young canadian from Sask. He raised $2500 and paid for a well drilled so the poor africans could have water. Now that is nice on his part but what we don't see is that the government already gives to that country by millions and the money ends up being used for war.It's been done time and time again and we don't even question it! Media is government controlled and has been since the beginning.

    Greetings mees.................Let me spin this to say The Media is no good at monitoring The Gov.

    If we had any kind of real media they would be all about exposing misallocation corruption and theft, for war; or any other type of personal crusades.

    The Media is all about growing the government.

    I trust Government less because media treats government as a religion; sacred and infallible.

    The media is a very powerful tool and it has been used to push agendas the bankers are aiming for. World affairs is a very complex system that most "elites" are getting away with murders and corruption. Just look at 9/11, pearl harbour, Irak war, vietnam,etc. An example, look at Bill Clinton's pass. No one ever got too far into investigating Bill's shady dealings. Some perished for getting to close. Same goes for Bush etc...

    Mr Clinton couldn't even get a blowjob in his own office without the whole world knowing.

    Talk to some people who work in military.

    For instance if you knew someone who worked for a cause like haiti or any fundraising issue. You'd find, help is not always the best thing to give. The news will tell you about the disaster, and help you donate money. The actual money is then pocketed and a small portion is taken to buy food and materials that are then fought to the death over. The news never mentioned in haiti people stabbing each other and killing each other for resources. But that's what happened.

    Donating is a form of media to me, and one of the worst. They connivence you you're a bad person, and to make it better you need to help causes which they then steal from yourself. Salvation Army has to be one of the worst centers you could give money to, and they maintain media presence. I think one of the executives was even brought to court for stealing millions in toys and attire

    Charity isn't a bad thing, but giving your money to an organization is not charity

    I see it slightly different if i may,
    what mainstream media tells you, is approved by the government ( U.S.A. ) and that is garanteed...It doesn't matter which country you listen to your news from, but it's all about pushing for control of population in a certain direction in a grand scheme of things. Ask any reporter in a scientific field ( or others) and if honest enough, he'll tell you ...It's been in public domain for a long time now that scientists can't work to their full potentials because of restrictions from governments/bankers.
    Federal Reserve( names of bankers) is a well known fact as, who started it, who owns it and who controls this world. They funded many wars, on both sides, just to create power,money,discord.... control. I highly suggest someone to look deep into that subject. Many powerful people (presidents,prime ministers,kings,,etc) have commited murders and nothing is done about it.


    Anyone ever heard of Bush jr? Sr? Bill Clinton's shady past?Putin? Emperors? Kings/Queens? and then comes..... BANKERS ! ... just a thought

    Very well stated!

    But what you hear in the media goes beyond simply the USA and its government, because the USA is controlled by globalist interests which do not lie with any one particular nation as they are pushing for a world government. The USA is simply the main but temporary vehicle to push the globalist agenda. The people who control the US don't give a shit about the country or its people, since the world is their chessboard and they have the power to build and topple empires at their will. To the people in control, the USA is simply a vehicle of conquest which too will be brought down once it has fully served its purpose.

    But overall what you said is correct.

    1) There is lots that the media reports that can be disproven based on a knowledge of past events. The media gives the truth, but puts a spin on it to confuse people while taking one of two sides which have marketed to them via left vs. right political discourse. Usually both sides will have bits and pieces of the truth scattered about, but will be mixed with a fair amount of disinformation as well so that most people will never have a full understanding of what's going on and can be steered/manipulated according to their political views.

    2) We basically know who controls the Fed, and all you have to do is look at the names that were involved in its creation. It's the names we have all heard before (Rothschild, Rockefeller, Morgan, etc.) Their lapdog media simply never mentions them in relation to the Fed (and all the other central banks of the world), but we still know who controls it, because we know who set it up back in 1913. So who controls the Fed is no secret at all. It's simply not been publicized because they need people to believe its a government institution instead of the private takeover corporation that it is.

    Of course I do not trust the media. They have an agenda to divide and conquer the general public. And because most if not all major sources of news in the USA are controlled by a wealthy elite do you really think they would allow something that makes them look bad to be discussed? A few decades ago I believe journalistic integrity was in tact. A topic no matter how bad it made someone look could be discussed. But now any journalist who steps out of bounds will soon find themselves without a job and discredited.

    I think the media is a good thing. I like the news, for the most part. That said, I don't have cable turned on so I don't watch the news very much.

    Yes, let's place absolute faith in blogs and sites with unknown authors with unknown credentials simply because they're not the mainstream media.

    I don't think that the media is controlled by the government (I really do believe that the government still values western liberal democracy while still doing unethical, hypocritical things in the name of protecting it) but it is definitely partisan and becoming moreso... which is what will always happen in an individualistic capitalist society. It's not about giving people objective views, it's about making them feel like they're right about what they believe-- the news is a product.

    The mainstream media coasts on brand image while the newcomers gravitate towards the third positions (American fascism, libertarianism, socialism) and niche markets... so I tend to trust the mainstream sources more than the cowboy outfits on youtube and Alex Jones-type stuff (which is poison), but at the same time it's impossible to ever really know what's going on with most issues that have a political bent.

    ALL OF THE MEDIA fooled the whole world into following Shrub into the invasion of Iraq. The FALSE PROPHET is supposed to fool the world into following the antichrist into Armageddon. Trump wants to invade Iraq and Iran and take their oil fields. Dun tun tun dun!
