three time Emmy award winning reporter Amber Lyon was until very recently a respected CNN reporter:

Lyon was fired from CNN after she refused to stop reporting on her first-hand experience of the systematic torture and murder of peaceful protesters by the government of Bahrain.

Lyon's special report on Bahrain was scheduled to run on both CNN's U.S. and international networks, but was pulled after only a limited showing due to pressure from the Bahrainis and their lobbyists.

At the same time that Lyon was risking her life to do on-the-ground reporting in Bahrain, another CNN journalist was filming a paid propaganda piece on how the Bahraini leaders are a bunch of friendly pro-democracy reformers.

 
Good find 24107, thanks. More and more it seems that the only relatively large media source outside of the mainstream media in the US is Alex Jones' founded sites infowars and prisonplanet.
 
If the "Progressive" Radio/TV and blogosphere were doing their jobs
they would reporting daily on how Obama and the Lamestream media are lying
their way into wars in Libya/Syria the same way George W. Bush did with WMD in
Iraq.Instead, the Lamestream Media and the "Progressives" are acting as
mouthpieces for the Democrat Party and running interference, censorship
and sins of omission to bolster the war machine, the Democrat Leadership
and our Liar in Chief. But you won't hear even on liberal radio outlets, how
Obama is in bed w/ the NeoCons, the wars are way illegal under international
law,
or how Obama is actually a NeoCon in disguise himself.

Its not just CNN, its the entire Lamestream press.

You just know something has gone hideously wrong when Obama
is on the same page with John McCain, Joe Liberman, and Lindsey
Graham in supplying Syrian rebels w/ thousands of tons of weapons,
supplies, training, satellite technology, and U.S. special forces.

The West's endless war on humanity : after Libya – Syria, Iran

"The failure of the international Left was twofold, both moral and intellectual. The intellectual failure was one of Garbage In-Garbage Out. In their different ways, Chomsky, Ramonet, Giordano and the rest have in large part made their reputations by criticising the mechanisms that create mainstream opinion. On Libya, they uncritically accepted information produced in total consonance with the style and content of the major international corporate psy-warfare outlets."


"That deep intellectual inauthenticity was matched by the international Left's utter moral collapse in failing to defend Libya and its people against vicious colonial military aggression. In general, the international Left adopted a range of neocolonial positions. Those positions all shared the neocolonial assumption that their own culture and their own societies offered better models for people in Libya than the system most Libyans supported and which they had worked out for themselves."

The West's endless war on humanity : after Libya

If the "Progressive" blogosphere and media like Pacifica Radio,
Daily Kos, Huffington, AmericaBlog, TPM, Common Dreams, The Nation magazine,
and Amy Goodmans Democrat Party Now covered these wars the same way
they did Iraq, they would not have been exposed for what they are:
________________________________________________________________
fronts for the Democrats and for the Government who "catapult the propganda"
for illegal, and heinous war crimes.___________________________________________




An independant blogger shows the Lamestream media pattern of lies ...
anyone can type "Syria" into their favorite search engine, and they will get the same
U.S. propganda, and patterns of lying: united Syrian public against the regime, supposed
rebel victories, Assad losing grip on power,feigned gestures of ceasefires/peace talks
(more like stalling tactics) by rebels/Western officials, and unverified sources of casualties.

Good collection of video clips exposing Obama, media and the political hypocrisy.



Obama to tell Netanyahu US Gearing Up for Iran Strike

“Years of preparations are likely to come to realization,” he said, adding that “the moment of truth is near.”

Ben-David interviewed several squadron leaders, pilots and other officers. He noted that some of the IAF personnel, “it is likely, will not return from the mission.” An officer named Gilad said it would be “naive” to think there would be no losses."

Israeli TV report shows air force gearing up for Iran attack, says moment of truth is near | The Times of Israel


Of course, CNN and the rest of the U.S. Lamestream media, are lying their pants off about Syria.

Exposed: The Arab agenda in Syria
By Pepe Escobar

"The report is adamant. There was no organized, lethal repression by the Syrian government against peaceful protesters. Instead, the report points to shady armed gangs as responsible for hundreds of deaths among Syrian civilians, and over one thousand among the Syrian army, using lethal tactics such as bombing of civilian buses, bombing of trains carrying diesel oil, bombing of police buses and bombing of bridges and pipelines. "

Asia Times Online :: Exposed: The Arab agenda in Syria



What Has Been Happening In Syria?
by Taking the blue pill

"Back in Nov 2011, historian and investigative journalist Webster Tarpley went on a fact finding week long visit to Syria with a group of other journalists ...across the board say they are been shot at by snipers and that in Hims in particular (where all the inital Western media reports were focused on) the people complain that there are terrorists snipers that shoot at civilians -men, women and children, random killings, simply for the purpose of destablizing the country. He said I would not call it a civil war (as of Nov 2011) and what you are dealing with are death squads, terror commandos, the kind of thing that people remember from Argentina and Central America. This is a typical CIA method.

[The CIA field operations handbook describes how to launch a terrorist campaign of killings, kidnappings and torture combined with propaganda to destablize a country. People should recall that the CIA launched the 'Phoenix' operation of assassinations during the Vietnam War where approximately 200,000 people were killed in these special operations. Indeed this same type of assassinations are ongoing in Afghanistan in the so called 'Night Time Raids'. Iraq also has US death squads too and these will increase as they withdraw the troops further. These people are good at killing and are good at training people to do it.] "

This is quite true. Just look here (Why didn't CNN's international arm air its own documentary on Bahrain's Arab Spring repression? | Glenn Greenwald | World news | guardian.co.uk)
 
To Kane:

I wanted to know where you get your sources from? Also it interested me that the video in the OP was from Infowars and I think I remember you once saying that Alex Jones was an NWO tool. Why do you say that? (BTW, I don't like Alex Jones as well, so we are on the same page in that regard.)
 
What I said was that Alex Jones was a controlled asset (AKA Cointelpro). A real activist would lead anti-war marches, print protest signs, say stop the war, pass out leaflets, would condemn Israeli policy in Palestine, would have pushed aginst torture, woulld be filled with war coverage atrocities, would have been part of the impeach Bush/Cheney campaign, etc.

Instead, Alex is all about FEAR: gun confiscation, FEMA camps, birtherism, Glenn Beck, Rand Paul, abortion, the Bilderbergs, human sacrifices, the tea party, making up false conspiracies all the time instead of highlighting provable facts, in the form of a PSYOP, making millions to CONTROL YOU, agitate you, and so on. His act on Piers Morgan was a publicity stunt, to attract new followers. CNN would never allow real peace activists on their channel because they really are run by the Military Industrial Complex, but they are all about PSYOPS.

Rand Paul did that big fillibuster stunt on the drone issue, remember. Some govmnt shill was saying on AntiWar radio w/Scott Horton what a great thing it was. Well after all those hours talking, Rand ends up with "OK, I'll agree to a non binding resolution to condemn the murder of Americans," and so its all just for the cameras. Non-binding means that nothing changes, the slaughter continues, its a symbolic signing gesture. Same deal with Alex Jones and the Lizzie Phelan video above. Alex Jones occassionally has to tell the truth to "appear credible" to he'll dole little tidbits of things people already know, as a big scoop, something a trained seal does, say that CNN is a front/ the NWO, which is true, but everyone already knew it for decades!

But Amy Goodman sold Libya, Syria as justified "humanitarian cause" as did Common Dreams website, and MSNBC, liberal talk radio, Pacifica radio. Much of this is because NBC is a Pentagon front also, but the Left Wing foundations funding Democracy Now and many liberal websites are are created by big oil, defense cartels, and stock portfolios. The same big foundations underwrite PBS, NPR. So many Liberal websites are funded by Democrat Party donations and funding also who want to control and protect the establishment and lie.

So you have to stick to independant blogs, writers, and researchers. Not hacks for the establishment like Amy Goodmans "Democrat Party Now" show.

By Toni Solo

"They accepted false information totally in line with imperialist propaganda. They collaborated in the abandonment of the founding principles of the UN. They effectively accepted the aggressive introduction of the imperialist principle of Responsibility to Protect. Arguments about NATO's conquest of Libya demonstrated that in North America and Europe. the international Left is essentially an agglomeration of fictions of varying effectiveness and relevance."


"What has been and remains so striking is the extent of the international Left's identification with the false rhetoric of the very structures they purport to criticize. For people in Nicaragua, that goes a long way in explaining the grudging recognition of the marked progress on behalf of the impoverished majority achieved under President Daniel Ortega's government. Like Libya, Nicaragua too has been the victim of the class/cultural prejudices of the internacional neocolonial Left."

Has Jeff Rense fallen out of favor with conspiracy theorists?
 
My sister told me a while back if I really wanted to know what was going on out there I needed to watch Alex Jones. Do you guys know how many of you there are?:fly:
 
Has Jeff Rense fallen out of favor with conspiracy theorists?

You will notice how the Patriot group programs and websites, or fake conspiracy programs always talk about how the drones, NDAA, Patriot Act, effect Americans. This was the main thrust of the Rand Paul fillibuster. Drones and attacks on Americans.

Real Human Rights Groups talk in terms of human beings. Arab, Muslim, Syrian, Iraqi.

I don't hear many Patriot shows or Alex Jones speaking out in defense of the human rights of Arabs being renditioned, bombed, or tortured. In fact, Alex Jones tells you to fear Muslims, Sharia Law (a tiny minority, a fear talking point created by the U.S. media)Alex promoted the WTC mosque protest the GOP started, or he said that Republican dirty trickster and liberal hating Andrew Breitbart was murdered (a lie). Alex Jones is a fear PSYOP. Everyone knows this, people have been writing it on message boards since 2006. Only some of the young high school, college age kids seem to have been duped by him due to inexperience. James Holmes, the Batman shooter, for example?

And what did Rand Paul say - Americans are the ones threatened, he emphasized. Where was the concern for the victims of the Pentagons bunker-busting bombs, those 500 lb. shells Obama used on Libya that slaughtered civillian targets? Fear, and half-truths, hidden behind false activism like the Tea Party, funded by the Koch Brothers, whose conglomerates annual profits exceed 100 billion dollars.

If you noticed Rense does Holocaust Denial, like WhatReallyHappened.com and Veterans Today do.

So what about "Chemtrails", "Flouride in the Water,' and supposed secret "government eugenics" plots?

Are those stories more important than the universal rights of man?

Does their fear-mongering sound genuine to you?

What is the bigger injustice: Bush/Obamas illegal war crimes Iraq Pakistan, Syria or Alex Jones non-existent gun confiscation plot?

Did Rense and Prison Planet organize or tell you to go to a protest, and demand the Senators and the Prez. stop war escalations?

:censored
No - what they did was tell you that Occupy Wall Street was phony, liberal whiners, like Fox News did, and that Wikileaks and Julian Assange was a CIA front to bolster the War Machine :thumbdown :spin:
 
Ummm, so is Jeff Rense out of favor with conspiracy theorists? Just a yes or no in normal font will do for an answer.

"Intel report sinks CNN Iran special Two-hour 'Nuclear' was slated for Dec. 12, By BRIAN LOWRY--

The latest National Intelligence Estimate concluding that Iran discontinued its nuclear weapons program four years ago has claimed one casualty: CNN has postponed speculative documentary "We Were Warned -- Iran Goes Nuclear."The two-hour spec, which was slated for Dec. 12 under the "CNN Presents" banner, was "set partially in the future," featuring a what-if scenario as former government officials -- playing fictional cabinet members -- debate how to deal with the Iranian threat." :roll:

CNN is famous for saying what Monica Lowinski did to ol Billy Bob in our White House was not, repeat not sex. I just don't get no better than that!!
 
Why is it that "Breaking News" on CNN is some story you read on the internet two weeks ago?:confused:
 
On a side note, what is it with the conspiracy wackadoos and their perchant for wildly varying font sizes and colors on their websites and their posts to forums? It's like they all have the same web designer who must be the world's busiest eight year old.
 
Alex Jones appearing on Piers Morgan managed to discredit both himself and CNN in one fell swoop. A double whammy! Duh- oh!:doh

Have to say, just having Piers on CNN in the first place goes a long way towards discrediting CNN. :mrgreen:

Unless CNN was a front for the military industrial complex, why would they hire Piers Morgan who was just got caught red handed in the Rupert Murdoch phone hacking scandal?

Literally - Morgan had to testify in a hearing, (where he was lying thru his teeth as was Murdoch, the British press said as much) and then he was described in a news article as boasting at a breakfast meeting how to run the software that breaks into peoples emails. I mean, the gall of these media people to hire such scoundrels. But no, CNN has no standards at all, they just hire any govmnt hack available, who is willing to prostitute his or her soul for the globalist warmongers, the Council on Foreign Relations, the Pentagon, etc.

How can we have so many hundreds of special interest lobbies/ protest groups, whether its Tea Party, the “Center for Public Integrity,” or whatever, but so many “activists” cannot muster up a third or fourth Party worth a damn? It is likely that the reason for this is that most all the groups are fronts for the govmnt/Cointel. I remember going into Borders in the early in 92 and saw a copy of Extra published by FAIR, with Limbaugh, Newt on the cover with arrow coming from Scaife front groups, to clamor for Democrat Party support, little did we know that FAIR was funded by the Elites for 2 party dog and pony show, just a fixture like PBS for the 2 party scam, like how FAIR now censor the Obama war crimes.
 
I have long thoight the liberal press a bigger danger than the conservative one. The fact is, liberals are more attuned to the nuances of empire and propaganda.

That's not to exonerate the Right; they're as ugly, or uglier. But they're also cruder, more easily dismissed.

That is to say, FOX news is rightly reviled. It should be reviled. But CNN is just as bad. I am not overstating the case...there is no fundamental difference.

Here in Canada, we've got our major newsorgans as well. The political Right continually lambasts the CBC for its "leftwing bias." Now, this is comical. The CBC has a moderately-liberal stance, yes; and it might even be true, as conservatives claim, that it favours the Liberal Party over the Conservative Party. (I don't know that this is the case, but I wouldn't be surprised by it.) But these are trivial side issues. The CBC is oriented towards Business and the inherent Rightness of Canadian foreign policy. That is, it's profoundly nationalistic, insofar as nationalism moves generally in the direciton of elite power. So at bottom, the liberal CBC and, say, the conservative Western Standard are speaking from the same page, with an illusion of difference fostered by carefully prioritized and narrowly-defined debates.
