- hiphoc, on 10/24/2007, -21/+326This fake/ pre-packaged news has been going on for so long, Bush has spent billions on this. The last time I checked this is called Propaganda, but call me radical for cutting through the *****. The pentagon also admitted that it has groups of "Bloggers" that it uses to "engage" people on forums and chat rooms to spread a more positive message of whats happening. If you guys see certain words over and over again, words that we dont use in regular life. Words that sound like some 60 year old Colonel put together a manual based on what he and his friends used in the 50's. Words like tinfoil hat, or nutter. When you see different people saying almost the same comments with the same words. You can bet its Pentagon trolls. GET OFF THE ***** WEB. Its illegal for the pentagon to engage the citizens with propaganda and domestic spying. If you take part you will be an accessory to the crime. The American people are waking up to you. Stop obeying illegal orders. Look at Abu Gharib. The privates went to jail. And the officers who instructed them did not. WAKE UP!!!
- hiphoc, on 10/16/2007, -14/+156Oh yea, murder has been around a long time also, so has war, rape, arson. Wrong is wrong. Its illegal to propagandize citizens. But who gives a ***** about the law when the people who are supposed to protect it are the ones breaking these laws.

the propaganda has been going on for a LONG time now .. - 16x9, on 10/18/2007, -2/+67Hey mister TV guy! I too worked in local television news in a major market for just under 20 years. One of the reasons I got out was because of the growth of these kinds of shady practices.
To address one of your main points, people do wrong things all the time. Just because a bad thing is done frequently doesn't make it right. - shinythingy, on 10/16/2007, -16/+73The you sucked at your job
- inactive, on 10/16/2007, -28/+84Will the neocons execute a false flag operation tomorrow (Monday or Tuesday) and attack the citizens of the United States? I came across these two articles online and became suspicious:
1. From October 15 to 19, 2007, a set of military and civil exercises will be held in Oregon, Arizona and Guam. The exercises, TOPOFF 4 and Vigilant Shield 08, are designed to test official responses to the detonation of radiological dispersal devices on U.S. territory.

Remember, on the morning of 9/11 the military under Cheney's direction were simulating terrorist attacks--flying airplanes into buildings, which supposedly confused air-traffic controllers, and may have contributed to the absence of interceptor jets.
2. Cheney's Law will air on PBS on Tuesday October 16.

Frontline Producer Michael Kirk will air a follow-up to it on Wednesday:

Suppose the administration didn't want Americans to watch it, so they attack their own citizens before it airs and then falsely blames it on terrorists or Iran as a pretext for war with Iran? Martial law would immediately follow and our wonderful open society would quickly close as Naomi Wolf discusses:

Can it really be a coincidence that these two events are both scheduled for next week? - inactive, on 10/17/2007, -9/+51no *****
- ajmoo, on 10/16/2007, -5/+46"Remember, remember, the Fifth of November"
- amsterdamordeth, on 10/16/2007, -5/+42The story dates back to may of 2006.....
- itseffinkasey, on 10/16/2007, -4/+40See this, huge corporations are just as bad and if not worse then our government. We need to do something about these corporations.
- jramos, on 10/15/2007, -7/+43"Can it really be a coincidence that these two events are both scheduled for next week?"
Yes. - bitspace, on 10/21/2007, -3/+39Permit me a random guess: your "news outfit" is Fox News. Close?
- ZenMojo, on 10/16/2007, -3/+37The world is full of coincidences and conspiracies. It's also full of ***** evil people like Dick Cheney, so who knows?
- themoop78, on 10/17/2007, -3/+36So let me get this straight... My tax dollars are being spent on government propaganda to lie to me on network newscasts? This just keeps getting better everyday, doesn't it?
- LeeMaple, on 10/15/2007, -3/+33Yeah, I'm really surprised this is even news anymore... Oh, wait, it's from over a year ago...
- hplasm, on 10/16/2007, -1/+31Propaganda, you daft git. What else did you expect.
- cheesehead, on 10/16/2007, -2/+31Exactly. Most mainstream news is fake news.
- damnasteroids, on 10/16/2007, -1/+29reporting press releases as news is lazy reporting.
- HappyScrappy, on 10/15/2007, -9/+37It is not illegal for the Pentagon to engage in propaganda, not sure where you got the idea it was.
I'm not saying it shouldn't be illegal, but the fact is it isn't. - obxjdt, on 10/16/2007, -0/+27Most of mainstream news consist of celebrity sitings/gossip.....So yeah, I guess you're right.
- rationalist, on 10/16/2007, -1/+28Airing government-created fake videos during newscasts without disclosing the source of the video - which is what this is about (as you would have known if you bothered to read the actual article) - is propaganda worthy of the former Soviet Union, not the United States.
It is "lazy reporting" only in the sense that murder is "lazy living". - inactive, on 10/16/2007, -3/+29Spokesman Craig Aaron said more than 25,000 people had written to the FCC about the VNRs. "Essentially it's corporate advertising or propaganda masquerading as news," he said.
Should lawmakers grant immunity to executives and their staff who knowingly distribute propaganda masquerading as news? Considering their destructive influence, remedies at law may be insufficient to reconcile such irreparable harm. This is treason. - bitspace, on 10/15/2007, -2/+26Pay no attention and go back to your coloring. This is a conversation for grown-ups.
- SpiroPope, on 10/16/2007, -0/+23You say The Independent is so 'unreliable' - I'd be curious to know which UK newspapers you consider to be reliable?
- zediker, on 10/16/2007, -7/+30I dont think its illegal, but it is considered by many to be immoral and unethical.
- dheaddy, on 10/16/2007, -4/+26Bush spreads propaganda, but gets away with it every time because America is so apathetic. I just don't get it
- Eilarais, on 10/15/2007, -2/+23I still feel better with these people running around than not. Activist groups are like society insurance, they might be crazy but it's still a public service.
- HappyScrappy, on 10/15/2007, -2/+21I thought this was investigated (and found true) 18 months ago at least, wasn't it?
Yeah, dukeeeey covers it above. - dinostabOMG, on 10/16/2007, -2/+19I think it is illegal - although it's still a bit underhanded, there are laws that say that propaganda is to be a tool used against foreigners and not within the US' borders. That's why we're not supposed to hear Radio Free Europe, for example.
- lostmongoose, on 10/16/2007, -1/+16Because god forbid we look at our country from an outside point of view. You need to learn to speak for yourself about things people care about. Not caring about what goes on or comes out of other countries is EXACTLY why Americans are seen as ignorant and boorish, and why three quarters of the world hate us.
- neuropsychguy, on 10/16/2007, -2/+16 From the article:
"By Andrew Buncombe in Washington
Published: 29 May 2006"
Really old news! - franick, on 10/15/2007, -1/+14Wow, you did not give me time to pretend to be surprised.
- oldhick, on 10/15/2007, -6/+18Where did you go to school? Propaganda is not illegal. What the ***** are they teaching kids today?
- inactive, on 10/15/2007, -0/+12"Politics is just the entertainment branch of industry." - Frank Zappa
- InfiniteNothing, on 10/15/2007, -8/+20I can only think of one thing the recent false flag prophecies have in common: none of them have come true. If anything it's like crying wolf at this point.
- Pake, on 10/15/2007, -2/+14It's been going on for a lot longer than Bush Jr. has been in power. It's just now getting the publicity because it is Bush Jr.
- inactive, on 10/16/2007, -2/+14Nothing will come of this.
The FCC has two functions: Protect itself/Government and protect corporate media. - wakananda, on 10/15/2007, -0/+11Yes, aren't "words" amazing? You can throw them around at people online and not get the living ***** beaten out of you. But they also come attached to these things called "meaning." Well, granted "libtard" doesn't have a lot of "meaning." But here are the "meanings" for those other "words."

What is wrong with you??
Oh, maybe you've been TRAINED to think that way.
FAKE NEWS=PROPAGANDA - hplasm, on 10/15/2007, -0/+10Yay! Fake news for all! *BOO!*
Fake news for none! *BOO!*
*Hmph* " Fake news for some, miniature American (pin) Flags for the rest!
*!YAYYYYY!* - neuropsychguy, on 10/15/2007, -0/+9TV news stations have been criticized numerous times for showing video news reports about products that were actually created by the companies making the products.
- houstonmacbro, on 10/15/2007, -0/+9Seventy plus spots aired as 'news' and not one single fine? But let Janet Jackson air a tit and there were millions of dollars in fines for the channels.
What has happened to this country? - zwaldowski, on 10/15/2007, -1/+10Neocons love to use the phrase "nukular" almost as much as the love saying "Libtards"
- sathias, on 10/15/2007, -1/+10Are you one of the bloggers sent to "engage" with us?
- CiXeL, on 10/16/2007, -3/+12ever wonder about those lone wolf republican defenders on online discussion forums defending a point of view regardless of the evidence? people paid to post this propaganda online? you bet.
- HereticHulk, on 10/15/2007, -7/+16Huge corporation are running our Government! Its a subtle take over. Hidden in plain site. Don't worry go back to your NFL and 'Who is smarter then a 5th grader', your leaders are in control and know what is best for all of us.
Vote Ron Paul 2008! - SuperCUBE, on 10/15/2007, -3/+11And you're done.
