[QUOTE="Old South Stands, post: 435580, member: 1036"] Most mainstream news in this country and around the world is intended (I believe) as propaganda so that the 99.99% of the public don't know what's really going on in the world. People are starting to see through it for the Pravda that it is. I remember Tom Brokaw, and I think Dan Rather, mentioning that the news media should be there to shape public opinion, not merely to inform. And that's the predicament we find ourselves in today. Some news outlets (CNN, ABC, CBS, Reuters, BBC) purport to be "neutral" and mainstream; others like Fox and MSNBC throw some red meat to the "right" and the "left"... just enough info to keep the intended audiences outraged, but never enough to uncover the actual goings-on behind the scenes so that people are held responsible. Even some of the alternative pajama news seems like disinformation. What used to win a Pulitzer Prize for investigative journalism many years ago wouldn't even see the light of day in any mainstream editorial desk today. None of this is totally new. Back in the 1920s, Rockefeller, J.P. Morgan and some others got together and figured out how many newspapers they could purchase in order to influence the opinions of the majority of Americans. The answer, they figured, was 26. They bought these papers and had their own lackey editors installed. These same folks went on to form the C. F. R., which still exists today and is America's most powerful think-tank. It has its people at the top of every major American news outlet. It effectively controls both political parties and has also formed the core of most presidential cabinets since about the time of FDR. So, if anyone wonders how a Jeb Bush or a Hillary Clinton can be declared the presumptive nominees of their respective parties -- before either is officially a candidate for presidential office -- this is why. If you've ever wondered why US foreign policy never really changed significantly between Bush-Clinton-Bush-Obama, this is why. [Rant Over :whistle:] ** In 2013, right before their candidacies became official, Jeb Bush awarded Hillary Clinton a medal for lifetime patriotic service in his capacity as chairman of the National Constitution Center!
