The Propaganda 'Media' Machine

What Happen to Journalism Ethics? Is Our Media Corrupt?


Is our media corrupt?
Let us look back at the earlier campaign before the Iraq War began. What news were we fed by the large media outlets? Did we get the true facts about why we were going to war or were we fed pure propaganda by our own media, that was surrogated by the higher ups? All that I remember is newcaster's biased opinions, ex-generals  turned paid- pundits targeting our public and the media barraging us with so named experts. Television anchormen also becoming upset and biting-back at guest, who spoke against the war or offered any kind of different view or take on the war.

What happen to  journalism ethics? I will tell you, they were completely thrown out the window, there are no ethics, it is all about ratings, it is now about the most popular newscaster, while feeding the American public lies and distorting the facts about the Irag War and God knows what else!  A War that has literally help break this 'Great-Country', and secondly caused our country to lose all credibility around the world!  Journalist or others who dared report or take a different stance on the war were simply booted out, terminated or lost their air time. Even worse some were publicly humiliated and accused of being unpatriotic or helping-the-enemy!  What ever happen to 'Freedom of Speech!'  Is this the news the American people want, blatant propaganda!  I say not! One can get more factual news from the smaller independent and corporate media then these guys.

So, I ask who is behind the large media propaganda, that is h'll-bent on continually feeding the American public lies?  What is their agenda?  It makes me literally irate to watch the news today!

Come guys, give your take and share your opinions about this large media-propaganda-machine! Your honest opinion, are the American people being deceived by these large media- pundits? Facts or lies?

"Creation
happens to us, burns into us, changes us,
we tremble and swoon, we submit.
Creation - we participate in it,
we encounter the creator,
offer ourselves to him,
helpers and companions."

Martin Buber
