The News-Media are hopelessly corrupt !

Please check out the following internet video link ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-hYorNi0nA ("BBC now admits al qaeda never existed") and then kindly tell us how you can possibly maintain even the smallest amount of confidence in the "NBSM" or the "Newsmedia B.S. Machine" ... a machine that spews out nothing but lies and even bigger lies, 24/7, and which appears to be infected with a terminal case of "AIDS" (an acronym which stands for "Avoidance of truth, Insincerity and Disinformation Syndrome").

 

Rock on dude, WOOOOOO.

 

The media are corrupt???

Oh You are on red. Here you go.

 

Don't worry we will get al qaeda and Bin Laden one day! WE WILL HANG EM JUST LIKE WE DID WITH SADDAM! JUSTICE WILL BE SERVED FOR HIS HORRIBLE CRIMES! FREEDOM IS DEMOCRACY! JUST LOOK HOW IT ALL WORKED OUT IN CHINA!

 

oh btw ... im being insanely sarcastic because otherwise i'll take a gun and blow my brains out

 

Corrupt hardly covers it. I have not heard a real news cast in years. If it's local news about crime it's okay. However, if has anything to do with politics you only get what the news media wants you to know. If it does not fit there agenda you don't hear about it, or it is spun so it will fit there agenda.

That was from "The power of nightmares" broadcast on the BBC.
It wasn't "The BBC"
It was an individuals point of view.
You just took something out of context and lied about it...
Doesn't really engender much confidence in YOU.

 

How funny that you used a YouTube clip to "prove" some vague point about the news media.

 

It's fairly self-evident that the newsmedia simply CANNOT BE TRUSTED to impart factual information about matters which are of the utmost concern to the public. I can cite those mysterious bombings which have become an almost mundane occurrance in Iraq and Afghanistan, as a pertinent case in point. A devastating bomb will go off somewhere, perhaps it was at a Mosque or maybe it was in a crowded marketplace. The bomb will tear defenseless human beings into smithereens, but there's never any doubt as to what transpired, since the newsmedia will always be "johnny on the spot" with a canned explanation to account for these deadly bombings:

The newsmedia will say that it was a "suicide attack" and that's what we're expected to believe. We're supposed to swallow what the newsmedia tells us, hook, line and sinker. If the newsmedia says that it was a "suicide bombing," then the case is CLOSED and no further investigation is allowed. Excuse me, but this isn't news ... what it is, is a bunch of mendacious authoritarian dribble that's being foisted on the public by a bunch of slick propaganda writers.

A REAL NEWS STORY would seek to investigate the bombings, but that's not what we're getting from the newmedia.

We're not getting any real investigative reporting from the liars who own the newsmedia; what's happening, instead, is that they're feeding us with canned authoritarian certainty instead of honest uncertainty and vigorous truth-seeking.

It's virtually impossible to prove or to disprove anything with regards to the Newsmedia Lie Machine. I don't believe that the "You Tube" link (above) proves that we're being lied to. It's fairly self-evident or a "given" that we're being lied to by the vested interests who own the propaganda mill which passes for a newsmedia. The "You Tube" link only serves to underscore the problem, and it does this by presenting an alternate point of view that makes very good sense, and yet which is seldom heard above the din of public information management.

 

the sheep need a pay check, they have no other skills to contribute to society...

These motherfuckers couldnt be constructive if you gave them a lego set (hell with only 2 pieces.. ) ...

 

So what makes you think that some random person posting on YouTube is any more reliable than the news media? The notion that anyone with a video camera and editing software can post anything they care to, and be considered on par with world news organizations, is ludicrous.

Believe me, I am no apologist for the news media. I doubt that I am as distrustful of them as you are, but I am of the opinion that most of them are headline-grubbing, backstabbing hacks whose primary focus is getting ratings. Nonetheless, I don't think they purposely disseminate disinformation, at least not yet.

As I pointed out in another thread, I think the problem of disinformation is only going to get worse as the technology to manipulate video footage gets more sophisticated, and as governments and corporations become more aware of the possibilities.

As that happens, the organized news media will be the victims just as much as we are, because public cynicism will explode, and no one will believe anything they see or hear. Rumors will become the primary source of "news". And how best to spread rumors than by posting clips on YouTube?

 

I think the real issue here is, BigCityHillbilly, doesn't trust the media because it isn't following the narrative he believes is true.
IMO, there was a reason he posted the Youtube clip, IMO, he DOES actually believe Al-Quaeda is a figment of the medias imagination.
If not, why post such a clip in the first place?
Clearly there are better e.gs of "media lies" out there.

He says "it only serves to underscore the problem".
Erm, well, for one thing, it wasn't the the news it was a documentary, where somebody posited their opinion...nothing more.
If you want to say "Al-Quaeda isn't real, then prove it better than a Youtube clip, grabbed from a documentary," IMO.

As for the media taking things at face value, as far as not investigating a story, such as bombs going off in Iraq.
I did a brief search for recent incidents.
There normally isn't much doubt what happened, perhaps not enough back story, though.
I can understand the media is a little light on investigating every single incident.
To be honest, it isn't really their job.
But, what actually does it imply if we don't know precisely who did it and why?
In most cases it is pretty obvious what occurred, and there is little need to go any further...within OUR news.
Obviously it is more of an issue for the family of the victims.
They require more answers than we do...and I'm fairly confident they receive a lot more information than we do.

It does seem that even this issues is being raised here, because, BigCityHillbilly, wants another reality to be occurring.

It is fairly obvious to those who have read his posts that he thinks a certain way.
So, perhaps all this talk of the "media is not telling the truth" etc etc is a smoke screen...to conceal his truth.
It goes full circle; the media aren't following his narrative and so he is angry at that.

Obviously the media has it's own agenda and lies by omission.
It is flawed and inconsistent.
I agree with this: "headline-grubbing, backstabbing hacks whose primary focus is getting ratings. Nonetheless, I don't think they purposely disseminate disinformation, at least not yet."

But, when it comes to say a bomb going off in Iraq, it (the media) has little reason to lie about it.
If they are, perhaps, BigCityHillbilly, can point to a few e.gs where the media have reported on a suicide bomb (for e.g), and it has turned out to be, mmm, lets say the CIA or Mossad, perhaps Zionist jews...his favourite topic of conversation.

If we can't prove the media wrong...perhaps it is a waste of time pointing the figure, because the majority, if not all the time, it will only be speculation...and then we are no better than those hacks.

 

It was the newsmedia's job to belch out volumes of war-inciting disinformation about Iraq for well over a decade and a half, isn't that right ? But nowadays, whenever there's a mysterious bomb that goes off in Iraq and slaughters goyim by the truckloads, now all of a sudden the newsmedia takes on a strange new aura, and suddenly it takes on a more stiff-lipped and reticent posture.

The war-mongering editorialists have apparently decided that they'd much rather supply the public with a standard perfunctory "explanation" that doesn't actually explain anything.

 

"Al qaeda" was created by the newsmedia in the aftermath of several mysterious crimes, such as 9-11 and the USS Cole bombing.

Instead of conducting an investigation into these crimes, the newsmedia created the "al qaeda" myth.

In short, "al qaeda" was a convenient myth that was used as a justification for carrying out a pre-ordained agenda of conquest in the Middle East.

It's like I said before ... you really can't prove anything by citing "BS" that was gleaned from the newsmedia.

The real truth can be found in classified documents.

 

You can't prove the media right, either.

If you accept everything that emanates from the newsmedia without employing your own critical independent thinking skills; i.e. if you accept everything that the newsmedia says as a simple matter of faith, uncritically, then it would seem to me that your "brain" is little more than a receptacle for whatever "gar-bage du jour" which happens to be spewing out from the newsmedia.

 

Wow ... we have a new record for the most ridiculous thing ever posted on this site!

 

The news media is predominately left leaning and not likely to aid and abide the Bush administration with any conspiracy on any issue. Those who think that Al qaeda is a media myth are "acorn type kool-aid drinkers" who will not accept anything but there version of the "truth". Reality has nothing do with it. If it does not fit there agenda it's not real, it's a lie, it's a conspiracy. They sure wont let a few inconvenient facts to get in there way.

 

It may sound "ridiculous" to someone who's spent an inordinate amount of time watching and listening to CNN and FOX News, etc. But it definitely isn't going to sound ridiculous to someone who's looked into the matter independently.

 

The newsmedia have been pushing an anti-Arab war agenda for many years.

Wolf Blitzer has been leading the charge against the Arabs from his war-room at CNN Studios. It speaks volumes.
