Fake CNN Newscast

[Daydreamin]

That's Charles Jaco who now works in St. Louis, MO where I live and up until a few months ago he had a Liberal radio show that was so one sided it was pathetic. He's a hack at best and I'm being nice when saying that. What's alarming is the fact that he was busted w/ CNN and yet still has a job in the media w/ one of the local tv stations?

I always tell people I encounter that IMO when the media lied to the world about FDR being in a wheelchair for 'our better good' that was when our elders should have rejected the news. I'm 33 years old and older folks know what I am referring to. It's really no different IMO then the media covering up obama's birth certificate.

My whole life I never could understand why the media refuses to report positive stories and not to long ago I figured it out.


Turtledude here's a link that you may or may not know about it...

Have you ever seen the movie Wag the Dog? Really good movie, about a president using the news media to fabricate an entire war. These kinds of things show you what the news media can get away with, and make you wonder how far they've really gone...

I have seen Wag the Dog. I'm studying journalism and hope to expose as many conspiracies and little known important facts as possible once I work in the media. From what I've learned so far there isn't a conspiracy of silence and censorship in Canadian media like I suspected earlier. U.S. media is a lost cause though. I'd recommend therealnews.com, Al Jazeera, and RT.

Turtledude......I was checking out the real news site it appears to be AWFULLY biased. And fyi, I've been around the political circle twice now and have come to the conclusion both sides are the same in the end. The only difference is the way the media paints the picture of the 'news.'

I'm disappointed how most criticism of the US media by conservatives is that its too liberal and bad mouths Palin when its quite obvious that the bigger problem is that whether its Fox or MSNBC they almost never question what the government says, seldom dig deep into any story, and spend more time covering celebrities than the financial, human, and diplomatic costs of all the wars the US is running. The media being more favourable to democrats and less favourable to republicans (assuming that's true) is of so little significance when you consider that the US media has let the US government get away with massive infringement of civil liberties (e.g. the patriot act), super expensive wars few people support, and bailing out scum bags instead of sending them to prison. The impotency in US media has little to do with editorial bias and everything to do with plain old corruption, greed, fear and complacency.

The Real News may be kind of left wing but it covers news more in depth than most mainstream media and mentions things the MSM won't. For instance during the Wisconsin austerity stuff The Real News mentioned the reduction of estate taxes (e.g. taxes for super rich people) being reduced and eliminated a few years ago and that the revenue from keeping those taxes in place would bring in way more money than cutting benefits to public workers. The link you gave me seems way more biased than The Real News, TRN is subtle in its left-wing slantbut still covers issues Im sure people of all political stripes would like to see covered, where as the headlines I read on that link you gave me seemed quite blatant in their bias and looks like more of a celebrity gossip outlet than a media watchdog.

That link to the media research center isn't left or right. They just report how the news has been portrayed and what not. What you've seen if you've gone to the link is that the media IS an arm for the left and it's hard to argue. If the media leaned to the right then you'd probably think that site was an arm for the right.

I assure you if you look into that site there's PLENTY for you to find.


And for the record I am 33 years old w/ a major in Finance and minor in Poly Sci. I grew up a Republican and when I graduated from college I was a Liberal. Then I was a free thinker and came back to to be a Republican only to realize in the last 6 months that both parties are the same and in the end it's us the people vs. them. Forget about party affiliation, race, age, sex, etc. and you'll see what I mean.

Example....we are currently in as many or more wars around the world as when Bush was in office but according to the media you'd never know that? The media is an arm for the elites and IMO there is no doubt about it.

Another example of the media is the way they are attacking Michelle Bachman. My goodness! She has quite a resume and their merely trying to cut her off at the knees.


BTW, I no longer attach myself to a party and after the last election no longer believe that my vote even matters. If you'd of known me a year ago you'd understand how far I've come to realize that politics is another distraction to keep us off our path IMO. Realize I came extremely close to throwing my hat in the political ring recently but thank God I did not. I more or less chose my wife and family over helping out my constituent's.

Turtle, with that site all I was trying to do was give you another outlet for your research. Like the Ra material you may to what you please with it.


Good luck w/ your project!
