The U.S. Government & Corporate News Media Propaganda Machine
Continues To Grow Larger And More Evil
Hitler, Stalin and Mussolini would have look with envy
at the way the U.S. Government and the Corporate News Media
work together against the best interests of The People.
Swine Flu Propaganda Charades and
Corporate Media Manipulations to Continue
Bill Lindner
August 03, 2009
Dr. Richard Besser, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) director who
has served as the mouthpiece for the Swine Flu Outbreak has reportedly
been hired by ABC News as a senior medical reporter -- the latest
example of a prominent government propaganda pusher becoming a prominent
corporately-owned media enabler -- whose megaphone will most likely
be
focused on pushing fear under the guise of an extremely suspicious
Swine
Flu Pandemic.
We've covered the problems with how the Swine Flu outbreak began, how
dangerous the vaccines will be and how various government agencies
and
beings intentionally created the Swine Flu outbreak for massive
corporate profits and a couple of other red flags, but we haven't
covered much of how the corporately-owned media enables and furthers
the
various elicit agendas of the U.S. Government.
Besser is the current 'czar' that heads the CDC's Coordinating Office
for Terrorism Preparedness and Emergency Response where he overlooks
the
CDC's public health emergency and emergency response activities. Besser
will join ABC in September.
As noted by Prison Planet, Besser is essentially the government's
leading propagandist when it comes to the so-called Swine Flu Pandemic
and his move to ABC further embellishes the already overtly cozy
relationship the Obama administration is enjoying with ABC. Last month
ABC completely turned its news coverage over to the government -- minus
any dissenting opinions -- in order to promote President Obama's health
care agenda. A lesson on how corporately-owned media handles the truth
and covers up pertinent facts can be found below.
General Electric's Censorship of MSNBC and NBC
One example of how corporately-owned media influences things and makes
sure the public is -- for all intents and purposes -- left in the dark
can be found in this recent article by Glenn Greenwald from Salon News.
General Electric (GE) used its control of NBC and MSNBC to make sure
there would be no more reporting of Fox News' business activities and
the lies spread by Bill O'Reilly and the rest of Rupert Murdoch's News
Corp. by hushing the star of one of MSNBC's most popular shows.
The CEOs of GE, which owns MSNBC, and News Corporation, which owns Fox
News, held a meeting and reportedly agreed that the dispute between
MSNBC and Fox was bad for their interests and agreed to order their
employees to stop attacking each other's news organizations and
employees. The agreement was reached because both parties agreed that
the ongoing feud was hurting unrelated corporate interests of both
GE
and News Corp.
It's no secret that News Corp.'s Fox News is nothing more than one major
political propaganda machine that spent the first eight years of this
century pushing the Bush cabal's agenda and purposely misinforming
the
American public. One Fox News commentator even admitted that Fox News
was President Bush's channel. The only thing that has changed is that
Fox News now does everything it can to try and derail all the plans
of
President Obama's administration by spreading lies and propaganda.
Keith Olbermann garnered a huge following and great ratings for his
Countdown show by bashing the lies and fallacies of Fox News
'journalist' Bill O'Reilly. Olbermann's attacks on O'Reilly and Murdoch
slowed drastically since June 1, 2009. They've slowed, but they haven't
stopped completely. O'Reilly has spewed his filth and lies on Fox News
for years while making millions each year for pushing them.
Owners of Large News Organizations Have Extensive Relations with
the
Feds
As noted by Mr. Greenwald, here we have yet another example -- probably
the most glaring example yet -- of how the corporations that own our
largest media outlets control and censor the content of their news
organizations based on the unrelated interests of the parent
corporation.
Now GE is using its control of NBC and MSNBC to try and make sure there
is no more reporting of its activities by Fox News in exchange for
MSNBC
and NBC censoring all the lies spewed forth by Fox News. Censorship
in
any form by large corporations is highly disturbing and needs to be
recognized for what it is.
Of course, this corporately controlled censorship has been happening
for
years. Last year, Jessica Yellin, admitted on CNN, the cozen news
network, that the press corps was under enormous pressure from corporate
executives to make sure the Iraq war was presented in a way that was
consistent with the patriotic fever in the nation and to put on positive
stories about the President -- Bush at that time -- or they would turn
the stories down and not publish them.
Katie Couric has admitted that there was a lot of pressure not to rock
the boat for a variety of reasons, primarily corporately-related --
and
not to be too critical of the Bush administration. When once highly
regarded journalists rock the boat, they always end up being fired
or
demoted, or, as in the case of Phil Donahue, cancelled. This censorship
is what has resulted in America being in the corrupted situations it's
in today. As noted by Mr. Greenwald, the corporations that own our
largest news organizations have extensive relationships with the federal
government.
Passing off Propaganda Pushers as Analysts is a Major Conflict of
Interest
Another favorite activity of corporately-owned media is to pass off
propaganda pushers as analysts, as will be the case of Dr. Richard
Besser and ABC News. MSNBC does it all the time. Richard Wolffe is
an
'MSNBC political analyst' that is often asked to comment on political
news. Wolffe is an 'analyst' that works for Public Strategies, Inc.
Wolffe works in Washington where he advises several clients on
developing strategies for managing corporate reputation and uncertainty.
Making matters worse is that fact that these 'analysts' usually don't
identify themselves as being paid to push propaganda for the firms
that
pay them, resulting in major conflicts of interest.
The U.S. government is famous for using propaganda pushers to peddle
their one-sided lies. Many of the news outlets have used 'military
analysts' for years to push covert propaganda and shape public opinion.
Despite the Government Accountability Office's (GAO) ruling that some
75
retired military officers the govenment and the Pentagon used to push
the lies leading to the illegal occupation of Iraq was not covert
propaganda, it was. The only reason the GAO made that ruling is because
the Pentagon allegedly didn't pay the pundits for their favorable
commentary
or conceal the program from the public. That's not entirely
true.
The
GAO ignored well-documented evidence to the contrary. Some of the
'analysts' admitted that the Pentagon access and information they
received was as good as gold and many of the 'analysts' are lobbyists,
executives or consultants for military contractors who have made a
fortune off the illegal wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. More on the
military pundits and the GAO's delusional revelations can be found
in
this article from Counter Punch. Source:

The Father of Spin: Edward L. Bernays & The Birth of PR
The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits
and
opinions of the masses is an important element in
democratic society," Bernays argued. "Those who manipulate this unseen
mechanism of society constitute an invisible
government which is the true ruling power of our country.
