(2,633 posts)a highly respected journalist from Europe would come and visit us here in the U.S.
He was here for six months investigating U.S. Journalism.
I was saying to him that I was lucky to live where there was no censorship of news.
He almost choked on the coffee he was drinking...........
This was during the Reagan 80's, in the years since he says the US Media has only become worse.
Reagan's Panama invasion had just occurred, and he used it as a prime example. He cut out news articles from several major news outlets here in America about the U.S Military's war actions down in Panama. Then, he gathered articles from many major newspapers in other countries, to show me what the rest of the world saw, and what was presented to us here in the U.S. It was an overwhelming wake up call.
He later sent me a video of another country's documentary on the Invasion, which had won an academy? award.....Most interesting was that the video was BANNED in the U.S. He sent me a copy, but had to go through a lot to get me a copy that was compatible with our video players.
It was appalling to watch the factual video of what we did down there........and especially the numbers of civilian casualties, all to just arrest Noriega? who was installed as dictator down there by the U.S. CIA years prior, and was a major drug trafficker....It seems the Panama Invasion was a distraction to something else that HWBush and his CABAL were doing from the shadows, and wanted to keep out of the news.......
(Sound familiar.??????......Epstein??????)
The journalist also showed me the way highly selected words in U.S. media reporting were being used to represent a totally different picture, as well as photographs being altered......(Think: Photos of Obama, with his facial skin being altered to be much darker, or a poor picture of one candidate and the other candidate with a practically portrait quality picture. or an interview of two people on TV, the Republican a WHITE MALE, and the DEMOCRAT a BLACK FEMALE. or the rhetoric LOADED with dog whistle wording, etc. Or with the Republican making a talking point with a hand gesture (the sign of okay, for instance) which has become a dog whistle hand gesture to flash to the white supremacist audiences viewing.......
Once you know, you will never be able to read or watch anything without recognizing it being done................
Currently the Repubs and Republican Mass owned/operated media are doing anything they can, from the "creating" a military attack on Venezuela, to tearing down the White House to divert attention from Epstein.........
