Funny, I was just watching the domestic US news now in english and some dude saw the exact same thing and interpreted it as a lie. What a dilemma. I didnt realize you were some sort of megacomputer man that is free of bias and can break down the media and government with a mere snap of his fingers.
Last I checked almost all news on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan is given to the US media by the pentagon. Really objective. Lots of options... or one really.
Where are those nukes Saddam had?
They did find WMDs and chemical weapons.
The media is killing us, and acting like officer Barbrady

"I watched CNN for a while this morning. There was quite a bit about Tea Party presidential hopefuls, a little bit about the weather, and oh yeah, a whole raft of Charlie Sheen coverage. I saw nothing about Wisconsin, nothing about Rep. King dusting off the rack in the House, nothing about Iraq, and nothing about Afghanistan."

Read it, then react ...
"I was watching "Family Guy" the other day on the local Boston Fox affiliate when they interrupted the broadcast for the following news bulletin. I quote: "Charlie Sheen may joke about them, but witches and warlocks in Salem say it's no laughing matter. See why tonight on Fox News."
"The "mainstream" news media is so mouth-frothingly desperate to gin up a distraction - any distraction - to avoid reporting real news that the entire industry has latched on to the downward spiral of a half-assed actor like it is the end of the world. Charlie Sheen is gutting his life for all to see, the ultimate bread and circus, and the "news" is all too happy to follow the plunging arc of his career for the same reason they show car chases and house "

Damn skippy. Liberals have been saying this since the 2000 election. Back in the nineties, CNN used to be so great. When they investigated "Iraq-Gate" under Bush Sr.,
(how the U.S. sold Saddam weapons) they had new updates every hour, not simply repeating the same clips all day. Now all they do is spin away. Don't look at the truth hidden behind my back, look at this more palatable version of history/reality sanitized and censored for your viewing pleasure. Or, in Fox News case, video from another event all together, file footage from wherever we choose to pull it from. :roll:
"BEIJING (AFP) - An official Chinese newspaper has accused foreign journalists in the country of fabricating news in the latest sign of official nerves over an online campaign for anti-government rallies."
Western journalists 'fabricate' news: China media - The West Australian
Well I know our journalists are really the most trustworthy of folk out there; but they're a hell of a lot better than the Chinese government. Don't tell me you actually believe something the Chinese government has said.
All news has an angle... China's news has it's CPC angle... with it's own considerations of power and security. Our own media has it's limitations rooted in other reasons. I watch Chinese news on occasion and don't find anything particularly outrageous about it. That news is somehow completely manufactured is a little too far from the truth, though.
The people are sick of being oppressed. It would diffuse the already polarized and highly tense political atmosphere if the television media/news would stop lying to the people and tell them the truth instead of propagandizing them 24-7.
The constant terror scares, the false fears about this "marxist" plot, that "communist," targeting Assange for just releasing confidential files, the overtly oppressive censorship, not to mention the extremely offensive rhetoric coming from the mouths of govmnt officials, Feds or otherwise,
make America appear and feel like a dictatorship.
Doesn't it bother you that your political beliefs are being crammed down your throat by Elites and Think Tanks who program you with rhetoric?

Who is cramming political beliefs down my throat? Your posts are displaying an ever increasing sense of paranoia and lack of logic...
Do these divide and conquer subjects look familiar?
There are similarly worded threads on this forum!
The ideas come from foundations and big business ...

"Are black people inherently less intelligent and more prone to criminality than whites? Are Catholics incapable of self-government? Did the Civil Rights Act of 1964 strip Americans of their freedoms? Does a tiny cabal of Jewish families control international banking? Do interracial relationships have the effect of weakening both races? Are there natural ruling elites who should be governing society?"

Big Business funds foundations which give grants to media, and Elites like Murdoch and Scaife program you with these media lies.
What places do you like to read?
I read news in five different languages... I am not limited in my news coverage as mono-lingual Americans are...
