MUST WATCH - How To Make A Fake News Broadcast

enoch says...

@RFlagg
i am watching the video right now and have not gotten to the jessica lynch segment,but the jessica lynch story was utter bullshit:

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2003/may/15/iraq.usa2
https://alethonews.wordpress.com/2011/05/06/bbc-proves-jessica-lynch-rescue-story-was-a-hoax/

i agree with his underlying message that opinions are being manipulated by those who most profit/benefit.noam chomsky probably makes the best argument in his book "manufacturing consent".

An American Ex-Drone Pilot Speaks Up

plentyofdice says...

Extremely clever and insightful guy, and he has delivered a great piece of truth to the people of the world.
It sounds like he is leaning towards the Noam Chomsky school of thought. i.e. The war on terror is a fabrication, designed to protect the power, profits and dominance of the foreign policy elites and the powers they represent...

Yep. Good bloke. Good luck to him.

An American Ex-Drone Pilot Speaks Up

A10anis says...

Extremely simplistic and naive guy, but he has delivered a great piece of propaganda to the enemy.
He sounds like he is leaning toward the Noam Chomsky school of thought ie; "its all the Wests fault, if we just stopped being so nasty, these lovely people would leave us alone..."

TYT - Sam Harris as dangerous as Sarah Palin

A10anis says...

What a naive bunch of Noam Chomskey'esque - "it's all the Wests fault" - apologists.Lucky for them Sam Harris was not there to educate them and Damn lucky that the late, great, Christopher Hitchens was not on the panel, he would have ripped them a new one.

U.N: One child killed every hour in Gaza

Israeli crowd cheers with joy as missile hits Gaza on CNN

Yogi says...

Actually where I mostly get my news is Noam Chomsky so I think I'm in good company. Now I have to ask, are you being paid for your posts? I think you should look into it, you could be making some money. Unlike anyone defending Palestinians. You should note I'm saying Palestinians and not Hamas.

Yes I can say wrong side of history with a straight face. The entire world wants Israel to accept a two state solution and they chose specifically to use force because they had the backing of the United States. Israel and the US have blocked peace for 40 years, and that's a fact.

You should get your news from places other than HuffPo and Mother Jones.

"The wrong side of history"? Seriously, can you even say that with a straight face? Just because your echo chamber all believes the same thing doesn't mean that Israel isn't in the moral right here.

Russell Brand " Is Fox News More Dangerous Than Isis? "

Yogi says...

Just wrong huh, Ok then this is gonna be fun.

Firstly I was answering the question posed by Russell Brand "Is Fox News more dangerous than ISIS?" Which any reasonable person, especially those who have had a family member blown away in Iraq recently can say NO They are NOT.

Second Point, was it Fox that was convincing the American Public of WMDs and warmongering, or was it everyone? There wasn't a channel you could find that wasn't fully behind the government because that is what they do. In this area Fox isn't special, you could've turned on CNN and MSNBC at anytime and seen a 95% to 5% reporting in for the war and against.

Also the fact that the public was much of a factor in the run up to war, not as much as you'd think. There was simply a lot of ambivalence but support for our troops. Due to the fact that we have an all volunteer mercenary force it's just a lot easier to ignore that Johnny is being marched off to war. It's not right, it's just how it is.

In conclusion, Fox, the News Network isn't worse than ISIS. They're just not, end of.

EDIT: Also it doesn't seem like I should have to point this out to people but I guess I do. Russell Brand is a funny comedian, he is not fucking Noam Chomsky. He isn't around to provide cogent analysis and if I met him I would agree with some things he says and destroy him on his ridiculous hyperbole. He's not meant to report to us in an honest way, that's not what he does that's not what he's known for. Look for people like this to inject insight into the discussion and you get exactly what you deserve.

billpayer said:

Wrong. The US gov needs shrills like FOX to keep the public 'on-board'. Classic example being the whole WMD charade. The US public needs to think they are 'spreading freedom'. If they were ever aware of the terrorism it's own government dishes out, the American psyche would collapse and there might be actual protests (and more). Which is why I like Brand's debunking of said propaganda and war mongering.
Do you think it's a coincidence the bitch is brown ? I even think they darkened her a bit.
CNN also did it with some other war mongering Lebanese cunt recently.
