when I see a headline or read a story I no longer wonder what happened, who's affected, where it happened etc... now I only wonder what the agenda is

at the point now that the media is deciding issues, like who will be the next president etc... every story will be 'slanted, manipulated or not covered, as the need be' to push the direction of the vote ' what a fucking mess

The media is a business that has to sell their headlines. Some headlines sell themselves, but when nothing is going on... They need to be creative.

Today the Washington Post finally revealed what Snowden was talking about. And it was such bullshit that no one even posted about it on GFY.

That's because everybody is waiting on your fair and balanced newspaper to come out, printed on the pulp of your 2 million dollar monthly electric bill

This is around the world that happens ... unfortunately .. but more and more people are moving away from the mass media, at least in Poland.

Me too, for example we're all seeing Eygpt in the news as the West still have changes in leadership to make there, as soon as the West have got what they want you won't hear anymore about a supposed 'humanitarian crisis', even if there's a real one going on, the media quickly move forward to the next target nation. The classic example for this is what happened in Libya, now there's a far bigger humanitarian crisis than the faked one which was in reality Gaddafi defending against Al CIAda, but the media are quiet on it now that the West have completed their regime change.

Richard I was a lighting director at KCAL for about 4-5 years... 6 hours of live news per shift... I'm very aware of the 'headlines: it bleeds, it leads' what I'm commenting about now is the 'undisguised, heavily biased slant' the news is pushing these days... think trayvon/zimmer for instance... a 12 year old trayvon images plastered everywhere, 911 called edited to make Zimmerman seem like a racist... that goes a bit beyond looking for headlines.... now NBC/CNN are planning a documentary of Hillary Clinton for 2014, and you know damn well it will be only be about how fucking awesome Hillary is... like Obama... any negative press on the guy disappears... now the media is gearing up to elect Hillary president... that's fucked up dude...

The Snowdon 'leak' is a game of chess, the NWO are feeding the 'Conspiracy Theorists' a piece in the hope that the 'Conspiracy Theorists' will then lose half of their pieces. How does this work? It's to get rid of the cowards, the ones who won't post anti-NWO information when they think someone is watching. A cunning plan indeed, it brings the opposition down to a more manageable size; it's now easier to drown us out with sock-puppets.

Would be interesting to see Israeli news as a contrast.

I've not seen much Israeli TV news, but it does seem less "slanted" when they're preaching to their own. Looking at today's edition of the Jerusalem Post, much of it is about Palestine and the Arab world, but it's all relevant and factual.

Reading comments on various news-related Youtube videos, I'm pleasantly surprised at how many Israelis can see exactly what's going on, and actually have some sympathy for the "victims" of propoganda.

I too find the Israeli's to be well above average when it comes to understanding how the mainstream propaganda fits in with the Western agenda.

The propaganda spun by JIDF and AIPAC? Spare me. the media spin what their corporate owners tell them to. Amazon's Bezos saying he will stay out of the Washington Post is pretty unlikely. He bought the paper to help control the spin against his companies. For example.

The AP and Yahoo must be the leaders for race-baiting and promoting illegal immigration. Its not a mistake they would like to see black and white against each other while the demographic is quietly radically changed in the US on the sidelines. when activists openly threaten and extort with the consequences of not giving citizenship to 20-30 million people here illegally, somethings wrong. As is that bogus 11 million number.

News medias are bought and paid for and often owned by large corporations.
