    Sharik ... I could be impudent and tell "look into a mirror and you see a troll", but of course I don't. :angel:

    Joke away ... Western Media has always proven to be telling lies? Well ... they do often, but always? Isn't it more the point that they are lying for you or others if the reports are not comfortable?
    This blaming of lies in Western Media is often only a ridiculous BS propaganda game! Funny was in the past for example that "Anti Westerns" quote the German "Spiegel" as serious source for something, but next time when their countering party named "Spiegel" for another issue as serious source ... it was suddenly by the "Anti Westerns" an irrelevant source! :roflol:

    i'm not a troll and never have been, i am an ordinary Russian and running my own small business, so i need no money, especially as paid to trolls, which i don't believe to exist.

    All the media, including Russia engage in propaganda. If I'm watching RT this is obvious. It is equally obvious when I'm watching the BBC, Sky News or read any of the British or US press. This is not to say that those newspapers and broadcasters who pump out endless propaganda don't also produce some excellent and insightful stories too. It's a case of learning to attune yourself to the propaganda M.O., -- most often unsubstantiated grubby stories that are exceedingly short on facts and evidence and very long on rhetoric.

    For me this thread, started by Litwin who seems to hate everything Russian is understandably unbalanced. Let's remedy that.

    One of the best known US journalists is Carl Bernstein,a Pulitzer prize winner, who co-broke the Nixon era Watergate story that ultimately saw Nixon resign to avoid impeachment. In 1977 he wrote a 25,000 word cover story for Rolling Stone magazine that set out the CIA's control of the media through place men, sympathetic journalists and greedy journalists. It makes compelling reading and can, in fact, be read HERE. There is another very readable essay on how the media is bought and controlled by US intelligence published by the Federal Communications Commission HERE. Daniel Brandt has also written an insightful article on The Mighty Wurlitzer, as it was called (i.e., the same subject) HERE.

    In the UK, one of the better journalists, Richard Norton-Taylor penned a piece revealed that 500 prominent Brits - including 90 journalists - were employed by the CIA. The Daily Torygraph journalist, Roy Greenslade, once noted that "most tabloid newspapers - or even newspapers in general - are playthings of MI5," which is interesting given the Bellylaugh's own close relationship to the boys at Vauxhall Bridge. You can read about it HERE

    Thus, in the last analysis, press independence and freedom is really no different to western democracy ---- just a cover story to mislead ordinary people into saying "yes" when required, or "no" as required. Other than that they are left to return to a nice, safe state of perpetual sleep.

    I forgot to add another link about the Mighty Wurlitzer from my friend at Wikispooks. It is notable for this thread because as he notes, Al Jazeera own Wurlitzer status (see HERE). This being the case the opening post of this thread was simply a US propaganda story funnelled through the trusted source, Al Jazeera in Qatar, the headquarters of the Pentagon's CENTCOM.

    So now we are going back in the circle to stage one where you are denying they exist? At least have the sense to wait a few pages to switch your lies, it makes it a little harder to catch them...

    There are shades of grey, and while the British/US media propagandizes to a certain extent, the non-western media in many/most cases (al jazeera, RT, IRNA) are so fraudulent as to be nearly useless.

    I disagree. The western press are masters of propaganda and if you take the time to check out the history of, say, US advertising - that dates back to the 1920's with one Edward Bernays - you'll find that it is nothing other than a propaganda tool (see HERE). Propaganda was brought to the modern world by we Brits. Thereafter, the US learned most of our dark arts at Nanny's knees so to speak, during both world wars.

    In the final analysis all media are so fraudulent as to be nearly useless...

    In the west, all the media reporters do the same job as Kisilev does. On the other side, there are so few in Russia, that you see only Kisilev, like a tree in the desert :grin:

    Or the very useful (idiot) to moscow/stalin Walter Duranty, who never saw a russian atrocity he couldn't apologize for.

    Plenty of useful idiots/lackeys working at RT, serving their moscovian kremlin masters quite well...same for IRNA, al jazeera, and al-manar. At least in the West, the major press outlets (except the dreadful NY Times) make an attempt to be balanced.

    I remember almost to the exact month.

    All of the sudden there were dozens of pro russian posters all with small post counts.

    This news is shocking, really, I'm shocked.

    Thanks Litwin, but I don't need some oddball historical figure to tutor me in analysis of the western media. I was formerly a journalist and have seen at first hand how these things work.

    And no to your second para. It doesn't work like that. But the end result is the same anyway.

    The BBC! Hilarious. Are you aware that a man from the security service is in permanence resident at the Beeb? Didn't think so. He used to be known by BBC staff as the "man in the mackintosh", God knows what they call him today. Sugar daddy, probably...
