NATO country (Turkey) just caught planning a false flag attack to jumpstart war against Syria

105. Yeah, if it was Russia, we'd never hear the end of this story.

24/7, front page everywhere, and all the usual suspects lining up with huge boulders to stone Russia.

I don't think they respect us enough to care that the polls show a total lack of confidence in our own Congress because they feel firmly ensconced in their positions. And whenever a decent challenger comes along who has a chance of unseating a corporate Congressperson, out come the big guns or you get a replay of the Dean scream 24/7. Hillary cared enough that the "US is losing the propaganda war" because people felt like they were getting real news when they watched Al-Jazeera and RT, which she watches, that she got how many millions to escalate our worldwide propaganda war a few years ago. The trouble with her approach is that our media can't report real news. They trip too much over themselves trying to package it according to the government's narrative and pretend there are any principles involved but give the lady a cigar for trying.

It's their own doing that the public has a total lack of confidence. Now if only they cared to do something more than slapping new lipstick on a pig.

Hillary Clinton was defending her department budget in front of the U.S. Foreign Policy Priorities committee this morning on C-Span.

She says a major reason the State Department needs money is because "we are in an information war and we are losing that war."

Clinton said private media is not good enough to handle the job: "Our private media cannot fill that gap. Our private media, particularly cultural programming often works at counter purposes to what we truly are as Americans. I remember having an Afghan general tell me that the only thing he thought about Americans is that all the men wrestled and the women walked around in bikinis because the only TV he ever saw was Baywatch and World Wide Wrestling."

Meanwhile she says Al-Jazeera, CCTV and Russia Today are killing it: "Al Jazeera is winning. The Chinese have opened up a global English language and multi-language television network, the Russians have opened up an English language network. I've seen it in a couple of countries and it's quite instructive."
