rozamatoz rated 2 months ago- Ariana calls the mainstream media out for their complicity in failing to pursue the Pentagon propaganda campaign which lead us into war.

- The point, of course, is that this IS the story. The media's behaviour confirms some of the most outlandish conspiracy theories. How else can you account for their inaction?
Never has the manufacturing of consent been so overt as what we are watching now and yet notice how passive are the people in response - despite the widespread - albeit still minority, but widespread minority - understanding of exactly what is going on here. Yet even with a few million voices like ours screaming "Look out - he's behind you!" like a dutiful pantomime dame, they never turn to confront the danger.
When they are this easy to restrain, it is hardly a wonder that they are so easily led into consensual slavery... - The point, of course, is that this IS the story. The media's behaviour confirms some of the most outlandish conspiracy theories. How else can you account for their inaction?

- How big a story was the 'Pentagon Papers of the Iraq war... 'it only stands to reason a story this explosive would quickly become the subject of extensive follow-ups by TV and print journalists, and endless debate on the political talk shows, right? Wrong...mainstream news media have ignored the story."

- From the page: "Fitzgerald said there were no second acts in American life. And it seems as if the MSM are committed to there being no second acts in American political scandals. At the end of Act I, the curtain comes down and we are quickly asked to leave the theater, left to wonder about what happens next."

- From the page: "On April 20th, the New York Times published its expose of the Bush administration's use of Pentagon-approved, prepped, and financially-enriched "military analysts" to appear on TV to help sell the invasion of Iraq, and then put a positive spin on the occupation -- even as conditions on the ground deteriorated. It was a powerful illustration of the Bush administration's commitment to propaganda and disinformation. But it was also a damning indictment of the mainstream media's complicity in the wholesale deception of the American public on the single most important decision a country can make -- the decision to go to war."

- From the page: "The last ten days have been among the most shameful in the history of American journalism. On April 20th, the New York Times published its expose of the Bush administration's use of Pentagon-approved, prepped, and financially-enriched "military analysts" to appear on TV to help sell the invasion of Iraq, and then put a positive spin on the occupation -- even as conditions on the ground deteriorated. It was a powerful illustration of the Bush administration's commitment to propaganda and disinformation.

How big a story was it? John Stauber of the Center for Media and Democracy called it the Pentagon Papers of the Iraq war. So it only stands to reason that a story this explosive would quickly become the subject of extensive follow-ups by TV and print journalists, and endless debate on the political talk shows, right? Wrong."
