The fourth method of news suppression
Program length – 8:39
It’s as easy as 1-2-3…most of the time
Here are the three most common ways that the “news” media makes information safe for Corporate America (the actual rulers of the country):
1. Ignore the story completely (a favorite)
2. Dillute daily TV news shows and newspapers with so much junk reporting there’s no room for real stories (they’ve got to put something on the screen)
3. Allow blatant lies on the part of “officials” and bought and sold “experts” to stand without even rudimentary research and analysis (it cost too much, don’t you know)
However, occasionaly a story gets away from them (think Gary Webb and his Dark Alliance reporting.)
Then somebody actually has to do some work – that work being the attempted destruction of the reputation and career of the news source (usually a lone reporter or a publisher that’s not safely “in the loop.”)
There’s a revolving door between the “news” industry and the PR “professionals” who take on this kind of work.
Catherine Austin Fitts charitably calls them “attack poodles.”
